To the editor: We see in yesterday's Nebrskan a project for a true all university party so we gather that the parties sponsored by the Darbs have failed. We are both sorry and glad to hear this: sorry because makers. Excited solons cried out against fraternity 1 .hey seemed to be good parties, glad because, if, life at the state university. They vigorously at tacked hell week. In progress at that time. Probation over, the Interfraternity council was confronted by number of complaint of fraternity violations of hell week rules, last year made much more strict than ever before. The legislature wa wondering if the council would prattle around and do nothing- or take definite action. Abolition of probation week which followed certainly had its ef fect on killing the Hovis deferred pledging bill. Still more traditional buffoonery was destined to go by the boards. The faculty committee on stu dent aifain, after Its customary meditation and in- good as they were, they failed, anything proposed will be that much better. So we can look forward to even bigger and better parties under the new plan. But hiving in oilr sytem a streak of pes simism we looked into the matter a little farther, and while we may be mistaken regarding the facts, we admire the unparalleled nerve of the proposer of the new plan. Personally it is impractical, but we offer some of the reasons that suggested this to us. First, refreshments, lacking In the old varsity party, an added expense at barh parties. Oood dancing. Beck's orchestra has been en- vestigatlon. approved the Student council's resolu- BHgPd for the next party. On this score the old tion abolishing rough initiations in all nonorary 1 and new are equal. societies on the campus. Today a few social fra- , A stage show, some of the acta of which cost ternitles U11 have rough initiation ceremonies. They alone use any degree of roughness. Unless thia becomes more prevalent than it has been in the past there will be no need for further legislation against horseplay among university organizations. OECAUSE probation week and rough initiation into nonor&ries have been ousted at the university, fraternities and other societies do not incite nearly so much hostility throughout the state as formerly. Tt behooves fraternities to keep this position if they wish their organizations to stand in the good graces of Nebraska citizens in general. Those practical jokers who are still insisting on some form of pro bation activity under guise of a different name should realize this and forget their plans. Actions which obviously violate the spirit of the regulation between now and the middle of March when most fraternities hold spring initiation, should be noted by the Interfraternity council and disobe dient fraternities severely punished. While penalties should be reserved for possible violators, this idea should not prm-ail. Fraternities should look upon probation week as a thing of the past, as a period to be forgotten about for all time. Tales of the "good old days" should not be repeated in fact today. BIG AND LITTLE SISTERS. QEMENTING even more closely friendships oe gun last fall when xperienced Big Sisters tried to make life in a big university a little more pleas ant for shy Little Sister freshman, a banquet at tended by appro-'!matly 150 Big and Little Sisters was held Thursday evening. The value of the Big Sister program at the University of Nebraska is considerable. It serves to acquaint new girl students with few or no close 54.00 per minute- here another added expense thai the old parties had not. Finally, decorations aa the last party in the estimation of many students outshone the Military ball, we safely say another expense. In passing, we might mention that the old par ties had no favors of course these are merely inci dental. So far every one of these facts is an added expense to the new party group yet for fear of being classed with other historical prevaricators, we hesitate to say it they, the barbs, have reduced the prices of admission. An increase in expenditure, lower prices and yet a profit of about $100 an eco nomic phenomena! When we realize that the proposer of this new plan was on the old party committee which gave only four parties a year, rolled up a $2,200 debt in three years, we admire his courage; in fact we won der, is it courage ? But why is the proposer so modest? Parties as good as he intends to have could be attended every week. Why limit them to four a year? If the barbs make such profits as now, from these new parties we offer a suggestion that Mr. Ayres build the new chimes the chancellor mentioned the other day. AESOP.

Says the lady to the ! previous to this, young man: "Are you fond of books, or are you a college stu dent?" THAT remark makes us want to become literary again. We remember the days now dead and gone when this column was entitled "From Out the Dust." and was dusty with heavy thoughts on those higher things in life liter ature and art and Truth and Beauty, and such. But columns change, even In a year and a half. It struggled out of the dust and became a book review section. Then it dropped books and decided to comment. What now? Poetry. $Z?X$:& ii To be frank, we got the idea that if we kept the column going and saved all our clippings we might get a swell job columnlng on the New York Times, or the Chicago Tribune.

The production affords an opportunity for many colorful and unusual choruses. There will be a chance for consid erable harmony singing between the male lead and a comedy char acter who is with him a great deal. The show was started last summer and completed during Christmas vacation. According to members of the club, it has even greater pos sibilities than "Don't Be Silly ?f last year. The third act of "Sob Sister'- is thought to be the best act of the entire play, whereas the second act of "Don't Be Sflly" was considered the best last year. Applications Desired. Tryouts for principals of the show will be held in room 203 of the Temple, Wednesday, Feb. 12, starting at 7 o'clock. An applica tion list will be posted in Long's College Eook store Friday morn ing. Tryouts for the male and fe male chorus have already been an nounced for Tuesday in room 203 of the Temple, and commencing at 7 o'clock. The club has urged that persons interested should try out for both the choruses and principal parts. Applications for the production side of the show have been called for and should be filled out any aft ernoon between 5 and 6 o clock in the club rooms, located in the An nex building.
