WILBUR POINTS OUT
Maybe there wasn't anything crooked with the
result of the Interfraternity song contest but even
the Barb council could have won if a Judge of the
contest, an announcer of the contest, an individual
in charge of the contest, and a secretary to open
contest correspondence bad been its members.

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.

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.

KICKED OUT.
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.

way to "humanize" war is to re
