Abraham Lincoln. PANHELLENIC PUBLICITY. THAT student sentiment Is practically tinani moufly In favor of publishing- reasonable at counta of aororlty downtown parties, now consid ered violation of local ranhollcnic regulation!, it evidenced from a.lditional comment appearing la this ifsua of The Nebraskan. Stnra la?t fall when the Panhellenic council in formed The Nebraskan that stories of sorority parties appearing In its "On the Campus" column would have to cease to comply with the rules, this newspaper has sought to have the reli Idioua ie moved. When no results were forthcoming at the end of the semester, a new request that Panhellcnlc authorities investigate the matter was presented. Any action they might see fit to take, it was understood, would be deferred until after consult ing the national Tanhellenic association president who will be in Lincoln late this month. By solicit ing opinions of sorority presidents and other campus leaders. The Nebraskan has sought to crystalize opinion In order that local Panhellenic representa tives might know student feeling on the subject. In fairness to the advisory board of the Tan hcllenic council It 6hould be stated that The Ne brabkan is In no way trying to coerce it into action The Nebraskan is pointing out what it believes to be an existing evil. That its criticism Is more than a "shop" matter Is shown by the many ideas ot students found to be in accord with the view of the situation it has taken. The advisory' board of the council now knows just how students feel. Its positionln presenting the matter to the national president must take this student attitude into account. IN' CONSIDERING the publication of sorority news. It is well to be aware of possible excesses which might result. It is not altogether improb able that some sororities would seek to have their .social functions reported In minute detail detail that news Interest does not merit. The extreme on this aide of the question must be avoided just as the extreme on the other side, now prevailing. In publishing stories of the parties this must be con sidered in order that unjust and undue emphasi.s may not be placed on sorority society. It ia recognized that unless there were definite legulations some newspapers might print excessive party items. Conversely some sorority party might occasionally b omitted from the paper by error or oversight. To avoid these possible evils and etaMih sorority party news on a legitimate and reasonable basis, The Nebraskan suggests that the following plan might be put into operation: J. Information concerning parties may be fumed in at a central office under supervision of the Panhellenic chairman at the option of tb ororitl. Croup who did not desire pub licity would not be forced to accept it. X. This Information should Include: a. Number of Invitations issued: b. Dr-coration whema; e. Refresh men! s; d. Chaperonoa and special guests; e. Time and place. ft. Cards filled out by sorority representa tives containing this information would be ebckd bffore tbey were made available to all reporters. UCT-I plan 1a practical for neveral reasons. Tt entails a minimum amount of supervision. The work of handling such a news bureau would be very light Giving the general plan of the party without elaborate details would prevent overplay of the news. Each sorority would have an equal op portunity. Tet the news as it truly exists would not be suppressed but open to all who cared to know about it. To answer the objection of one sorority presi dent who today expresses the belipf that publica tion of party news would result in spending more money for such parties is to look across the street at the brothers along fraternity row. Do they en gage in cutthroat party competition ? Do they upend large sums of money on parties so that news papers will publish lavish reporta of such events? The reply is an emphatic no. No cogent reason why The Nebraskan and other papers should not publish stories of soiuiiiy parties has as yet been presented. Nothing will ever be gained for sororities here at the university or throughout the state by stifling the press. very day, hi) meeting him at social function only ta awing him at hia beat. "8h ran obaerv hia bad qualities well as hla good onea, Fha will eara which typa of wao she can beat get along with. Whether or not aha marrtea a rollega mate, b will havt gained the experience necessary to bar futur enjoyment of Ufa." Pr. Peed conclude. The Idea of the university aa a matrimonial bureau U revolting to some peopla. Yel aa Pr. Head plainly illustrate. It ta that aa much aa any thing a la.

The male aggregation at the university ha- always believed it picked the wive from the coed crop, however. Pr. Heed'a Insinuation to the con trary may be a revelation to them. Be that as it may, the university haa nothing to be H.shAincu of if It serves as a wholesome matrimonial agency for Iti men and women.

UNIVERSITY AND MATRIMONY. yOUNG college swains will be surprised, and may hap a bit chagrined, at a recent statement of a Nebraska alumna. Dr. Anna Y. Reed, professor of personal administration at New York university, who pictures a coeducational university as a de sirable place for girls to go to select their husbands. A girl going to a coeducational school meets many men, Dr. Reed pointa out. This association with men is even more beneficial in the huhhy culling proceaa because it shows the man as be is Marriage Isn't necessarily a failure. There's always a fighting chance. THE PRETENDERS. JY TRKTENDING to be vitally Interested In every course, by making frequent and extended visits to professora" offices, and by assuming a meditative air In all classrooms, a number of students seek 'to get by in the university aa quickly and as easily as possible. This practice, used to secure favor of Instructors, 1s contemptible In the eyes of most students. As a result all conferences with professors, even to the extent of common courtesies, are regarded as efforts to Improve one's standing In the course with a better final grade the end In view. A fellow haa to highbrow his teachers if he expecta to escape this Indictment by hia friends. It la lamentable that such a condition should exist at the University of Nebraska where the large enrollment makes personal contacts with professors limited to a relative few. It means that those stu dents who seek to associate with professors for the individual good which they may gain rather than to achieve a good grade are not respected In the eyes of their classmates. Certainly chic coeds and languid cake-eaters who strive to win approbation and a passing mark in their courses by cavorting semi-weekly up to their instructors, by laughing uproariously at their stale attempts to be humorous, by veiling deceit with simpering smiles, should be discouraged from such asinine actions, but Just as surely those others whose motives are laudable should be encouraged. 'T'O THINK that those who do seek to make the most or university experiences oy acquainting themselves with the ideas that have made Nebras ka's best teachers recognized leaders in their fields should find themselves criticized and scoffed at for making such an effort seems entirely out of har mony with the attitude any university should as sume. Of course few students fool professors. Those suckers who string a line of soft conversation to their teachers are easily identified. Perhaps a few get by but very few. Instructors have the ability to discern the true purpose of a student's visit un less the student is very unusual or the instructor very incompetent. General atudent opinion about consulting pro fessors is what is in need of criticism. Students should know that professors realize when they are being lathered with soft soap by sudsy individuals. They also should recognize that there is no element of dishonor or deceit involved if a student's aim in chatting w ith instructors is not to make a grade or secure his professor's favor for approbation's sake. Let students flock to the dens of their instruc tors. And let professors be the judges of their motives, not the students. The Student Pulse Sigurd contnbutiona pertlnrn to niattera of atudent lire and the university art welcomed by thia depart ment. Opiniona aubmitted ahould be brief and conciae. To the editor: In the recent questionnaire submitted to the student body one of the main questions waa con corning whether it did a person good or harm to have outside work to do. In our opinion, if more of the student body aid work, at least one aim of education would be met more successfully. Work, aa all who have tried it know, tends to increase resourcefulness, initiative, and confidence in one's self. Is not this an aim of education? Would it not be better if many of the members of the social organizations of the university had some work to do to keep them occupied. It is very evident that many students have a hard time obtaining worthy use for their leisure time. This is Keen from the number of limousines parading up and down the streets of Iirrtn. These students surely do not make worthy use of their time? What say, do they? R. C. K.-D. C. H. The moon you ga at through the trees at night in the country is the one you see in town. Only in the country they keep it shined up a little better. Current Comment LEAD OR FOLLOW? One of the most dangerous elements of a uni versity training, as far aa the student himself is concerned, is that it provides an almost ideal setting in many cases for the development of followers rather than leaders. Regular assignment are made at each meeting of the class, and the atudent pro ceeds to read them without asking himself what it is all about. The instructor calla for an outside re port, and the student sees to it that the report gets in promptly. A good student? Yes, but that is all. And far worse than thAt, he is rapidly training him self to unconsciously submit to the leadership of others. The desires of his individual instructors and the whim of his personal "chums" aoon come to take precedence over what individuality he may have had at the outset of his school career. His very personality la forced to the background by the stronger of the various stmuli exerting their influ ences upon him. Purdue Exponent.

"That was rather expensive,'' he said, "and with our own apparatus now It is much more convenient and saves a great deal of time. And, too," he smiled, "it is exciting to ee llic picture gradually appear on the negative at it is developed." Accurate Work Possible. Most of Dr. Guilford's slides are reproductions of diagrams or pic tures from books by well known and authoritative psychologists. These must usually be absolutely accurate and copying them is often impossible and would require a great deal of time. Photographic reproduction and projection by means of a lantern, have solved the problem in the psychology de partments of most schools. Careful and concentrated work is essential in every stage of photography, and for this reason Dr. Guilford believes that his hobby is cxcelcnt for worthwhile recreation from mental strain. "Every man should have a hobby," he said earnestly. "Psycholog ically we all need a variation in our work no matter how interest ing that work is. Something en tirely different makes the best hobby something requiring dex terity perhaps but. not deep study is a very good thing for mental workers.'1 COUNCIL COMPLICATES MAY QUEEN ELECTION (Continued from Page 1.) tory in the opinion of the Mortar Board. Another Resolution Passed. Addede. to this recommendation is a resolution passed by the Stu drnt council during the past se mester which says that at least one member of the student council must be present at the place where the votes are counted following the balloting for Nebraska Sweetheart, Junior-Senior Trom Girl and sim ilar elections. It is the last part of the stipula tion "similar elections" that doesn't set so well with the Mor tar Boards. Although their activ ity, their selection of May Queen, is' not explicitely cited in the coun cil's resolution, it nevertheless comes under its scope and pewer. The Mortar Board members be lieve the election of May Queen, which has always been participa ted in by senior women under their direction, should be in their own hands and no one else's. They should be allowed to work out their own salvation in this respect, they think, as shown by the fol lowing statement made by Julia Rider, their president: "We don't like to say anything about the system of election until it is definitely decided upon. But if the election of May Queen is to continue as it has in the past, then we object to the recommendation put thru by the Student Council. Senate Acts. Action taken by the university senate at its last meeting hasn't helped the matter either. At that time it was decided that Ivy Day should be held a month earlier than usual May 2. Instead of late Alay or early June. If the first resolution passed by the Student council were to be followed then the May Queen could not be elected until aftr the ceremonies were over for the council's move calls for the election of the May Queen at the student general elec tion In the middle of May. The Honorary colonel, another honorary position, slighted but im plied by the council in its resolve for "cleaner elections," will be elected as formerly. There will be no change made in this respect and the approval of the military department in the action taken by the student council is evidenced by the following statement of Lt, Col. F. F. Jewctt: "Mr. Lantz, faculty member of the Student council 1, has always assisted me in the counting of the votes. When the cour,ing was completed we have always called in the president of the Student council, giving him the ballots and our count. He had the privilege of recounting or verifying our count in any way he desired. "It waa not generally known that this member of the student body knew the identity of the hon orary colonel, but we wanted to have our count confirmed by a representative student. The new Student council ruling merely makes this procedure a necessity. The election itself, of course, is conducted by the Student council in its regular fall election." DISCUSSION WILL FEATURE MEETING WOMEN'S LEAGUE "A Family Too Big for Its House" will 'be described by Mrs. John Senning in a talk at the meet ing of the university League of Women Voters on Thursday after noon at 4 o'clock in Kllen Smith hall.

Following Mrs. Senning's talk the constittuion of the organ ization will be read by the presi dent, Marie Herney, who will pre side at the meeting. This will be an open meeting of the league.

The tenure of the teachers varied from one vear to more than five years, with the ma jority holding their positions over the five year period. High schools In the state taught mathematics, Fnglish, Latin. Greek, French and Spanish as well as German and Sweden lan guages. Social studies including history, economics, civics, and sociology were also taught.

"A college is a good place in which to grow, and growth implies danger, since it means the possi bility of growing worse as well as better.
