MILESTONES
AT NEBRASKA
Mry
with
"TACTICS employed In choosing Ncbiaskas
n....r. have tsinted Wednesday's election
an unwholesome flavor. Alan Williams, barb leader,
admiti be aponsored a movement to ele. t a non
sorority candidate Queen or the May and a barb
slate of Mortar Board candidates. He states, bow
ever, that be did so only after certain sororities
came to hira pledging their support to bis candi
dates if be would give his support to theirs.
The efforts of Mortar Board to keep the elec
tion out of the political mess Into which It seems
to be mired were futile. So politics proceeds to
drag another beautiful Nebraska tradition to min
It Is the paltry triviality of these politics that makes
them InaigTilflrant and repulsive to students truly
interested In tha university from an unbiased stand
point. Peibaps It Is expecting too much lo eliminate
politics in selecting a May Queen, but certainly it
is not too much to strive for. Sororities may com
bine, fraternities and barbs may grapple over pick
ing coeds for certain other campus honors, but
electing the May Queen should be different.
The basis of selection is one which allows no
interference by politics. The May Queen is pre
sumably a representative Nebraksa coed who.
through generally demonstrated abilities along lines
of leadership and scholarship, fine character and
agreeable personality. Is selected by her friends for
the highest honor this university can bestow upon
any woman student. j
CORORITIES who have instigated whispering cam
paigns for favorite sisters are to blame fully as
much as Alan Williams for his misguided efforts
By tis attitude be has demonstrated that his in
terests have been warped so that he considers first
his barb allies, and second the welfare of the uni
versity. His espousal of the barb cause, in need of such
a vigorous, shrewd and militant leader as he is,
is worthy of commendation. But his entrance into
the May Queen election merits harsh criticism. If
charges which he has leveled against certain soror
ities are founded on fact, tnen they deserve equal
censure. Besides the two sororities he indicts, bow
ever, there are probably several groups of Greek
coeds who openly supported one of their members
for May Queen or Mortar Board positions.
So alorg with the censure that Alan Willianis
rightly should receive goes equal criticism directed
at those sororities which employed political methods
in an effort to gain their end. Until they cease
trying to elect their members, until they refuse to
enter into political coalitions, the honor that goes
with being May Queen In this university unfortu
nately will remain in the realm of politics.
Putting your Lavst foot forward doesn't mean to
kick everything.

FOR CLEANER ATHLETICS.
LL VARSITY and freshman athletes in the Big
Six conference soon will fill out information
blanks with questions bearing upon reasons for
choice of school, previous competition, work, loans,
and scholarships, In an effort to determine actual
conditions as regard recruiting and subsidization of
varsity material.
The proposal seems to be extremely worth
while. Its purpose, as explained by H. D. Gish,
director of athletics, Is to make possible the formu
lation by conference officials of a modern, work
able code of rules governing the situation. There
is no reason to believe that this purpose ennno. be
attained.
Tbe main objection to the project has been
that the data obtained will not be accurate. Realiz
ing this possibility, officials have agreed that the
blanks when filled out shall be examined without
any reference to individuals and that Information
shall be considered entirely in its relation to the
future, having no bearing on the past. Material
gathered will be treated only aa It pertains to the
entire system.
Working from this basis, authorities can expect
success. There would be no object In fabrication or
evasion upon the part of tbe men answering tbe
questions. It is reasonable to believe that Big Six
schools are a jump or two ahead of their contemporaries.
Would a poverty stricken native of Czecho
slovakia be termed a "no fund Czech?"
RULING ON PROBATION.
With Prof. E. F. Schramm's statement Wednes
day as to what constitutes probationary activity,
fraternities obviously are commanded to rectify a
practice which has been going on among most of
tbem all year and which is being brought to a cli
max in several with a disguised probation week.
The Interpretation of tbe ruling by Professor
Schramm, faculty adviser for the Interfratermty
council, follows:
"Probation practices shall be abolished for
ever at tbe University of Nebraska. This inter
pretation means any rough tactics injurious or
apt to prove injurious to tba nepbyte; or any
form of activity that may bring discredit to the
fraternity or to the organized fraternity system.
No equivocations or mental evasions on the part
of any fraternity or any fraternity members to
over up tbe real intent of this rule will be tol-
MORTAR BOARD ISSUES STATEMENT.
Editor's note: The following unsolicited state
mant was given out by Mortar Beard, "tor wom
en's honorary organisation, following in. union .
candidates for Mortar Board and choosing of the
May Queen Wednesday.
The Utopian state where politics do not Inter
fere with elections Is probably a myth, yet In the
election held yesterday to determine the choice of
Mav Oueen and of candidates for Mortar uoara.
every effort was made to keep tbe voters free of
the Influence of politics and pollticiana. The girl
who Is chosen as May Queen should truly be so
rLnresentatlve and so generally popular that ane
can enjoy the honor bestowed on her, instead of
being miserable because of scanty recognition ana
scanty acclaim.
The question Is not one of barbs and Greeks:
It is a question of representativeness and genuine
popularity. Many nonfraternlty girls at tbe elec
tions yesterday were known to vote for fraternity
girls, and a number of fraternity women also cnoae
to vote for nonfraternity women in the senior class.
It was firmly believed that politics would almost
completely be eliminated from this election if only
women were allowed to vote and if no names ap
peared on the ballots. Alan Williams, however,
taking matters entirely In his own hands, and with
out the co-operation of the majority of the rest of
the Barb council, drew up a slate of barb candidates.
One senior girl was chosen aa the barb nominee
for May Queen. Tbe names of six nonfraternlty
Junior women were also placed on Williams' slate.
though at least half of the girls who were chosen
either opposed the placing of their names on this
slate, or were not consulted at all.
No handbills were printed, but a very compre
hensive effort was made to give a large number of
nonfraternlty upperclaas women this list of barb
candidates. They were urged to come to the polls
to vote for Williams' candidates, not to come to
the polls to choose girls whom they really consid
ered representative. It Is known from comments
overheard at the polls that a great many barbs who
voted strongly disapproved of the attempt to put
through a straight barb slate, and refused to be
governed by someone else in their choices.
In his zeal to arrange matter so that the barbs,
who do comprise a majority In the student body,
would come out In an overwhelming victory over
the Greeks. Alan Williams haa simply failed to con
sider the spirit upon which Ivy day and the selection
of the May Queen is based.
And those few barbs who came to the polls with
his ticket in their hands also forgot this fine tra
dition of Nebraska. Whether or not Alan Williams
was successful in having his candidate for May
Queen elected is not known.
The majority of senior and junior women co
operated admirably, and from all indications did
really try their best to select the one senior who
seemed to them to be most representative in all the
qualities which it Is desired that the May Queen
should possess.
While we condemn the barbs for making up a
slate instead of simply getting to the polls and us
ing their own Judgment, a few sororities also de
serve ample criticism for circulating the informa
tion that one of their own number will be "run"
for May Queen.
If any member of any sorority Is not sufficient
unto herself to command the majority of votes by
popular consent then the sisters who push her and
campaign for her, on the "you vote for us we'll
vote for you" plan have done just as much if not
more than certain barbs to besmirch the honor of
the tradition of the Queen of the May.
It is hoped, however, that whomever the May
Queen is, she will really represent majority opinion
concerning the most representative Nebraska senior
woman, and that she will not be tbe product of a
queered election. MORTAR BOARD.

j Current Comment j
' ' VAGABONDING. ' '
"To vagabond" means at Harvard to "listen in"
on a lecture in a course which one does not take.
This is not to be confused with sitting in a room
mate's seat so that he won't be counted absent. "To
vagabond" is to attend tbe lecture of one's free will
and to go there for the material benefit one expects
to derive from the lecture to be given that morning.
Such a practice broadens the outlook by giving
the student a chance to gain an Insight into courses
which interest him, but which his schedule keeps
him from taking. The greater advantage lies in the
opportunity afforded for making a better choice of
next y jar's electives. By listening in on a few
lectures, the student is better fitted to Intelligently
select the course which will do him most good.
The practice of "vagabonding" is of definite ad
vantage to the student who is going to college to
get something out of it. It should be encouraged.
