5. No logical Argument ha. been advam-fil
us to why Tin: N'ebraskan should not publish
this news. The local assoriaticn piarcntly is
Acrepting the .sugjieslion of th. national orsan
iation on faith alone.
"THK POSITION of The Nebia.-kan in refusing o
do its part lo obey this rule is justified on ninny
grounds.
1. When applied to The Nebraskan. he
regulation ceases to be u regulation. The ran
hellenic association encroaches upon a legitimate
campus activity which The Nebraskan seeks
to record.
2. The Nebraskan believes that student
opinion for such publication Is worthy of con
sideration. When presidents of eighteen soror
ities openly announce their convictions that
sorority party news should be printed. The Ne
braskan believes their wif-hes should carry some
weight.
.1. Within its rightful bounds in seeking
to give Ihe campilM coverage of recognized news
events. The Nebniskau in insisting- on publish
ing accounts of sorority parties is upholding- the
principle of independence of the press.
4. The power to withhold such material
from The NchraakHn and the press is the powei
to make I his newspaper a muni lipieee of con
.limited university inteiesls. a spineless news
paper not coghizant of its duties to ils readers.
W'li: I if Ilu: .student council should make a re
ipicst similar to the f'anhellenic association?
Jn securing the news. The Nebraskan will n;l
1 ek to oljiaiu it from Ihe soroiitus themselves,
l-'or I hem lo give out such information would be a
violation of their rule. t!ut if The Nebraskan ou
if own initiative without aid of l'arihellenic women
;ri.ts the news, sororities are exonerated.
While the student body is entitled to know
about sorority parties, the- main Issue in this case
is the principle involved. The Nehrarkan will not
permit it.ielf to be placed under the thumb of any
organization. To do so would surrender the claim
that it is a true student newspaper at the University
of Nebraska.
The university trains men for all walks of life.
Applicants for mountain bus drivers can get plenty
of good experience zlg-zagging through the traffic
at Twelfth and R streets any noon.
PASSING THE SHOW.
Students tlock willingly and generously t..
downtown movies. Kntertainment is the one thing
that these show-goers demand, and for it they
would spend their final half dollar. This tendency
does not apply solely to college students, but to
the human rare.
Strangely, students disregard one of the most
entertaining of all theatrical productions Univer
sity Players' shows. These presentations are of
fered periodically In the Temple theater and have
always been wtll received by their small audiences.
Discussion has been rampant on Broadway re
cently In regard to the probability of "talkies" replacing-
the legitimate stage productions. At the
Jniversity of Nebraska, this would be a difficult
problem to solve. Students disregarded the "legit"
long before the sound pictures made their debut.
Attendance at University Players shows should
not be considered in the light of campus charity.
The Players have never begged for audiences. They
have kept on producirg good, clever, well staged
productions tot those who attended. Students, it
seems, are passing up something good.
"R. U. R.." a drama which Is still playing in
New" Yorki is the latest Players show, and il Is
concluded thia evening. The college student who
feels any appreciation at all for a slight degree of
ulture would enjoy "R. U. R " li"t, then . . .

Yerus would undoubtedly like to argue the

I lhe All-t Diversity dances. Two Greeks have stated ithat to the French, as to the Rus

clined to dance, and left almost immediately with
; their dates. Is this a characteristic attitude?
I still believ "shoving and mauling" chaiac
lcii7.es the dances. And it is "listless" to the point
. of being boring
In view of the above remarks I still maintain
my original stand concerning the present All
i .'Diversity parties. I have come to believe, however,
1 that the new plan before the .Student council today
will not benefit barbs so much as an alteration ol
. the present system.
The Ayres plan would call for co-oner al ion be
; tween barbs and Creeks which, in reviewing- pan'
considerations, seems impossible. Furthermore, there
is not enough class loyally and organization for
each group to become sufficiently Interested in
putting on a good party.
The suggestion contained yesterday in The Daily
Nebraskan concerning the presentation of klenlil'i
cation cards at the door in order to limit the crowd
to university people, may go a long way In helping
the situation. Jn this event, the name of the affuir
also should be changed. W. G. T.
MORE DEFENSE.
To the editor:
Who is W. G. T. ? Is he an authority of the
opinion of the barbs with regard to All-University
parties? How many parties has he attended? He
says a great number of barbs favor the Ayres plan.
How many are a great number?
T have attended all of the barb parties and 1 '
reel safe in saying lhat they are not "listless," also
that 1 have never seen anyone frightened by the
"nondescript stag line," and that Greeks do attend j
both with and without dates. j
There are fifteen barbs in my house and all of :
them have expressed favorable opinions of the All -1
University parties as they are at present conducted.
Of course I would not attempt to express the j
"unanimous" opinion of the barbs, but I am in- i
clined to believe that It would be posible to find j
other barbs of the same opinion. !

BEHIND THE SCENES.
To the editor:
A Mere Barb praises the gods for the "mess
which Williams creates." He should praise the
prince of darkness if he wishes to do any praising.
In regard as to what is worth while and as to woo
is the only man who has done anything worth while
for the barb cause, A Mere Barb and myself hold
distinct and different views.
Does he consider worth while filing fraternity j
members on a ticket which they knew notning arxui
in order to split the Greek vote to put his own lineup
into office?
Does h regard anyone worth while who lines
up an election ticket after he has said that he has
retired from politics?
Does he regard as worth while calling an elec-

At solving the hi cost of living. ....
SOME years ago, the hi cost of living was a chief topic of conversation at every gathering
and in all walks of life. Now almost everyone has forgotten it, but we haven't. We
still remember, and we can help you out a lot in cutting down your expenses. When
you ned clothes, get them here and you will save dollars on the otiginal cost and plenty
more dollars on the upkeep.
SUITS
""UR SUITS are the most reasonable
you can find, and you'll have to go
a long, long way to find better. Tailored
by Alder-Rochester and other leading
manufacturers, they are carefully pre
pared to fit both the desires and the purse
of the university man. The satisfaction
in owning one of these suits lies not only
in the infinite pleasure of wearing it, but
also in the lasting conviction, that you
have made a wise investment.
