The instructor must derive a great amount of satisfaction from the neatness of the students in their classes, and they must be highly gratified to see that the student devote so much thought and caxe to the task of preentiog to the lecturer a well groomed face and figure. ! The Nebraska code of etiquet, which seems to pe so heartily endorsed by similar Institutions, could be profitably compiled into a new book. It might evea become a bert seller. Certainly The Nehr.kn and all papers which are interested In university events should publish stones cf uch parties. It t their duty as news pa pers to do so. Students of the university.

If a reporter drew the detail! from a gullible and ipnorant freshman, the sorority would be punched if the article were printed. Under present condi tions. The Nebrskan feels it would be unfair to publish accounts of their parties. That campus sentiment is almost unanimously opposed to the local rule is evidenced by interview ing a group of sorority presidents, taken as repre sentative of their respective organizations. Of the dozen w ho could be reached Monday, only one voiced any objection to printing such stories as The Ne-1 briuskan desires be made available. j Anyway it's a cinch there were no crashers at Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha PI Alpha Xi Delta, i the Interfratrnity ball Saturday night.

Nearer to the truth you will be in most cases if you substitute "fer" for "aug" in discussing these augmented orchestras. interviewed snd their views on the matter aired In The Nebraskan. THE Panhellenic council has advanced two argu ments in favor of entirely suppressing sorority party news. The first, that some sororities might receive more publicity than others, is obviously in valid. Each sorority has approximately the same number of parties and the same opportunities for having accounts of them published. Unless they do not wish stories of their parties to be printed, which is quite unlikely, all would be given equal space. The second objection of the council, which has little merit, is not in keeping with the general prin ciples of a state supported university. The council, in the past, has feared that publicity given sorority parties would give outstate taxpayers the wrong impression and that university patrons would imag ine a continual social wtirl of parties made up the whole of sorority life st the university. No regulations govern fraternity parties. They are heralded far and wide. Does that tend to cre ate an uniavorable impression of fraternities at the university? The Nebraskan believes not. Any possible stigma on fraternity life st Nebraska as suredly doe not come from newspaper stories of its parties. Fraternities and sororities are viewed as one and the same by outstate persons. The e few who find themselves interested in Greek letter parties at the state university do not distinguish between sororities and fraternities. As long as fraternity news is permissible, why suppress stories of sorority events? There is little point in suppressing one and not the other. There is no widespread animosity toward soror ities evidenced throughout the state. Objections are provincial and far from general. But if soror ities are in such a precarious position in outstate circles that publishing true and unev-gggerated stories of their parties would increase the disfavor with which they were viewed and lead to any move to abolish them, as the council implies, then there is no place for sororities at the university. Where is any valid reason for suppressing such news involving rec.fgniz.ed activities of university or ganizations? Why need The Nebraskan be kept from fulfilling its duties as a newspaper. into a remarkable figure. That big crimson heart with a question mark in it is admirably situated in front of the Adminis tration building. Many students are wondering these days if the administration really has a heart. DRY LECTURES. LTHOUGH be may be master of his subject, the professor who drones dismally and dryly through his lectures each day will never be a successful dis penser of knowledge. The students who bear him, unfortunately, are the best Judges of his ability and they are given no voice in choosing the instructional staff. Classtime dozing and lecture naps have been given nationwide publicity during the past few year. The professor has never been blamed to any great extent for this inaptitude on the part of col lege men and women. Recent report In a college daily review the process of giving students an opportunity to Judge their Instructors. Questionnaires were prepared on tne qualifications of professors and for two or three Jay student wtr permitted and instructed to The Student Pulse Sinned eontributiona pertinent to matter ef atudent life and the umveraity are welcomed by thia depart ment.

To the editor: Eefore the Military "Ball the Student council presented a recommendation to the faculty commit tee on student organizations, requesting that the three major parties of the year be permitted to last until 12 o'clock and the coed have permission to sty out until 12:30. The Interfraternity ball was listed as a major party, but I was almost ejected forcibly from a sorority house Saturday evening for suggesting to the house mother that she abide by the rules. Two and a half bucks is a lot of money, friends, and I think we should have just a little consideration. Do the house mothers have short emomories, or did the administration slip up? I Just wondered. B. T. Current Comment FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. While at the university for healths sake get stirred up about something. We are assured by members of the medical fraternity that this stirring up is most beneficial for the liver of the individual involved and it is our conviction that it will be for the good of the university in general if such takes place with every student now at McGill. Perhaps it was Carlyle who said "Do some thing." or something to the same effect We would proffer the advice to first think something. Form opinions, take some side and if possible, express your convictions in talk and if allowable, by action There are enough issues around the campus to get "bet" up about something. If the issues pres ently do not seem to provoke some thought in your mind, "start something.' If anywhere we expect to see in a university some indications that there is a conflict of opinion. Conflict of opinion sharpens the wit. The wit sharpened is a ready instrument of defense or aggression in all walks of life. It may even, with the most ambitious, provide one with a means of livelihood, so for health's sake and economic reasons reasons, get stirred up about something.

(Why King George should covet Chicago! is a mystery 10 us.i bicku should concentrate upon the selec tion of a mayor who would use the lake as a sinkirg pond for her numerous gangsters, killers, boot leggers and what not. A pied piper is what she needs. PIE criminal situation there has become so acute that the busi ness element in the town have at last risen in their righteous in dignation to demand a cleanup. They have just issued an ultima tum to the city official to clean un the town, threatening to take the law in their own hands if they fail to get busy. The prospect. 01 a revival of the old western fron tier method of enforcing the law by the use's of citizen vigilante committees is looming up as a possibility. The threat has spurred the police department on to a state of feverish activity. A roundup conducted last Sunday night brought a thousand hood lums into the jails, where they are being held for inspection. PART of Chicago' financial crisis has been tided over aa a result of the capitulation of the city council, notwithstanding the blustering of "good ole Bill" to the contrary', to the demands of a committee of big business men headed by Silas Strawn, eminent attorney. Mr. Strawn's commit tee has been prepared to put some $50,000,000 at the disposal of the city government, but only on the proviso that every cent is to be spent under the close supervision of the committee. The business men of Chicago have little faith In their city administration. T"HE naval conference is now working on the probljm of sub marine warfare. The United States and Great Britain are in favor of completely abolishing the further use of submarines. France is insistent upon retaining sub marines, but wishes to "human ize" their use. The attitude of our country and Great Britain is a courageous gesture in the direc tion of effective disarmament The way to "humanize" war is to re move the most deadly instruments of it. A country which has a large fleet of submarines on hand will, in time of stress, be sorely tempted to use them. The viola tion of the neutrality of Belgium in 1914 is a case in point. I AST Saturday the house passed the first bill looking toward the working out of the recom mendations of the Hoover .crime commission. The Williamson bill transfers the whole prohibition en forcement service from the de partment of the treasury to the department of justice. This re organization will make Attorney General Mitchell the big chief of the largest of the federal law en forcing units. There is little like lihood of the failure of the bill in the senate, although there is a stroDg probability of a lively de bate. Our congressmen do not talk any more; they Just vote. But our senators are still .gifted with the power of speech, and are still comparatively free from gag rules. FLUKUARY 11. 1825.
