tbal we are to ok wiar.
i.n nhnul.l lw I ha first to admit
that the oiKinlutloa Is what It Is
and prevent US ulrepraruia,wua
to the "great unwashed."
For. In truth, the lnnoeuU are
not all they seem. Their reputa
tion fr exieeds their power and
value. In reality the Innocents
are little more than errand boys
for the football enthusiasts oo the
faculty and among the alumni.
The activities of this igantstttloo
in the past few years have been
confiued almost exclusively to:
Staging rallies, greeting tram,
building bonfires, advertising foot
k.ii rirnu hv n ii Illicit v stories In
the hag, promoting mob hysteria
before tne wotre wmc gaonc,
giving the Cornbuitker banquet.
The so caiiea irrsnmaa luiuan-j..
la one nonathletic activity, but n
Is largely In the hand of cheer
leaders and the faculty football
fans who are the Innocents" advle-
Tba meetings of the Innocents
society must De reianveay uo-
ImnArtant. This Should be CSpe-
clallv true after the football sa-
nn wnen intra in no ujui
pep editorials to be put on the
f rvMir rial ftfal of the Rat. and before
tbe Unit for electing successors.
In facL between Uecemrjer ana
March or April meetings tend to
ba brief, frequently they are
abandoned.
Tbe most convincing proof of
the lnnocuousnesa of this society
la the change that cornea over its
members. To one who has
watched the organization for five
years or so, It Is amusing to note
how proud, bumptious, and swell
beaded the president and the
members are after they are
tapped. About the end of the
year, However, aigns ot uiaiuien-si,
even disrwL are. observable.
Prom bumptiousnes to disallusion-
ment! Sometimes It Is a tragedy.
The Initiation must be Impres
sive and Idealistic but all that is
shattered by the end of the year
after the election of new In-
.tMnu Anl.l nomethin? about
elections might well be said m
another letter. o .. .
Ta tha Editor:
Tt has bn very Interesting to
follow tbe accusations of O. V. B.
against the Innocents. Many peo
ple nave been eurpnsea mi m'
Tnnnrentji themselves have offered
no defense. They claim that this
is proof enough of their gum.
But I am Inclined to differ with
them in this respect I approve
rjt th rf'arreet silence luai we
organization ta maintaining. It
seems to me that it is the only
dignified thing that they can do.
Rfr we po farther let me ex-
tl.tn ik.t T hatr noLhintr whalso-
i-r in in mHth the orramzation. I

baring found that it ts not always
safe to pick friends by organiza-
tiona.
Th Tv-.nnlar oninion around the
campus is that something should
h v,ne to rhaxre the FPliL The
nian ahn hus uncovered the sensa'
Uonal news, which everyone knew
anyway, is hailed as "A Nebraska
Man." And tne inference w ium
th n v the Innocens ronduct
their election is contr.-' to all
thiral rules. This cannot oe true.
we feeL since the Innocents are se
lected on their ability to appear
Rival uornnusKers. ado ccu
though it may be true, would we
dare to breaic up tne grana oia
spirit of seven and six? Why.
that is the thing that has always
fostered and promoted the best
that our country has produced.
At the expense, even of the
"Cornhusker spirit" we cannot
afford to destroy a tradition.
nd unvwav who wants honor
ary orift"ies to do anvthine? For
after all. what is an honorary so
ciety put a formal recogmuon ci
superiority? And if honorary so
cieties wish to keep their superior
ity they should contrive in every
way not to oo anyining. i Dey are
to be respected end not to be qi-
tioned. They are to be admired
and not to be criticized.
FVervone recoenizes the cancer
of obscuring really big men in the
vast numbers of stuaenis in a
treat university. There are o
many of them. Honorary societies
help to take care of this lament
able condition. Otherwise many a
flower is born to blush unseen. Tbe
Innocents have remedied this de
fect In our school. They bring
these big men out In the open.
What more can we ask ?
And then there is the matter of
pins. Tbe Innocent pin is of great
value to its owner. When be be
comes a lawyer and gets up to
plead his case he can stick his
bands tn bis pockets and contrive
in a natural way to puh Lis coat
back so that his Innocent pin will
Know. Coupled with his frat pin
and his "N" pin It will help hiu
greatly. The other lawyers and
the Jury especially u mera oi
nana to be a rrof on the jurywill
know exactly what to expect. IVr-
bspa the Inn neni pin win ncrp
his wife and family from siarv
Ing. What greater miaaion totild
any pin have?
Then there la another ra
which few people admit but. w bu h
I believe, U sufficient Justification
for the organisation a It now
stands. You all know that when
UA. hMn In lha habit ot wear
ing a pin of any sort It makes a
DroUiKious Dole in a janm-m
which It happens to dilinguth.
Now Just what la me poor suiucm
going to do when he h to lake
off bis Viking pin that he has
...m tha vir bafura? TLeV not
only make holes but they precede
the holes by NacK mar, or wmn
anyone may be Juxlly anhamed.
vut.'Um u not such, we under
stand, unleaa one offers some sort
of a panacea for the etiMtng con
ditions; so we will prove our loy
alty by lecommrivliiip a iillitulc
for pins. hy not put paicnes on
where the pins tumid go? They
wnuM ha more striking than ilni.
and they would anticipate all the
blackening and tearing qualities.
Than mi should have a ure dem
ocracy In the university. Tbe man
who bad tne moat pairne. n nis
clothes would be the biggent man
on the campus.

Besides this actH-ity. Mr.
Browne was president of his class
the last semester of bis senior
year. Classes were much smaller
then and the entire membership
of the senior class was only 200.
T. JJ. E. had reached the uni
versity campus by this time and
although its membership was kept
secret, news ol tne organization s j
"beer busts" leaked out at f re- I
quent intervals. When Mr. !
Browne was a sophomore in i
school an edict was announced j
which seems very strange now. j
Instead of being ordered to wear j
them, freshmen were forbidden to i
wear green caps. This caused !
several class scraps during the '
year, according to Mr. Browne.
