Fraternities go on their way thinking not of the fra
ternity ayitera but of each Individual organization.
Con.tructlv aupport which fraternities could
giva tba Interfraternity council thus far has been
woefully lacking. Individuals In fraternities have
been at the root of this failure to co-operate. InMead
of building up a strong fraternity system, their ef
fort unwittingly are tearing it apart.
Fraternttlea would do well to combine in a cam
paign of construction. As they exist today, they
force their staunch exponents to dsscuts merits of
fraternities in terms of the intangible, while oppo
nents find plenty of a tangible nature to rail at.
Theia arc many national services fraternities can
pei form. Instead of moulding the spirit of their
members into a feeling of fraternity consciousness,
they should direct their efforts toward a greater uni
versity feeling. They can take a stand in favor of a
wholesome moral code. They can encourage among
their membership a frank but high-minded discus
sion of life and the problems it presents. They
would do well t unite in forming a loan fund for
deserving fraternity members. They can stress cul
tural valuea of an education. They can emphasize
scholarship above social and athletic prowess.
Fraternities can ruin and wTeck a university or
they can b a positive force that aids materially
the student welfare. There is room for improve
ment at Nebraska improvement that will com
with complete co-operation. Competition is com
mendable when applied In a constructive way. But
it can be death-dealing to all concerned if it be
comes the end-all, rather than the means to a worth
while end.

FOR BETTER BARB PARTIES.
To th Coliseum Saturday night went hundreds
of students to Attend Another All-University party.
The bleakneaa of the huge structure was trans
formed mto an Attractive pavilion by effective Japa
nese decorations. Coming on the heels of consider
able criticism and praise, the party Saturday night
was viewed with. Interest by fraternity men and
barbs Alike,
An analysis And classification of the crowd that
attended the party would be arbitrary and based on
individual opinion. There is, however, room for a
few qualified generalizationa. No one can deny that
the great majority of young people at the party
were nonfraternlty students though there were
some fraternity men, mostly stags, who attended as
welL Besides these students w hich thronged to the
dance w ere a number of others obviously outsiders.
As carried on At the present time, All-University
parties ax more successful than ever before. They
draw a larger crowd. They Are designed pre-emi-nently
to Attract nonfraternlty people who other
wise would hav little or no social connection with
the university they Attend. But there ia room for
improvement.
The Nebraskan reiterates its advocacy of identi
fication carda as admittance tickets for the parties.
Introduction of the identification cards would serva
a multiplicity of purposes. First, the cards would'
stop criticism that the parties cater to outside peo
ple. Second, It would restrict the crowds to univer
sity people. Third, it would elminate certain objec
tionable who pry their way into all such affairs.
While outsiders at present may not exert any
great influence on the parties they are a potentiAl
danger. As long as there Are rife objections on the
matter of outsiders attending, it is best that an ef
fort be made to remedy the condition which many
studeDta view with disfavor.
Of course the parties are not really All-University
partiea. They are no more representative of
the University of Nebraska student body than down
town fraternity dances. Barbs want them to be
known as barb parties, entertainments arranged es
pecially for all nonfraternity students. On this mat
ter their wishes should be granted. Acceeding to
the barbs in changing the name will cause nonfra
ternity students to realize that the university is cog
nizant of their existence as an integral group in the
student body.
Introduction of identification cards and changing
the name of the partiea are constructive proposals
to better the affair. Their adoption would serve to
unify nonfraternity students and would bring to
their realization a consciousness that they, as well
as anyone else, make up a part and a powerful
part of the University of Nebraska.
Grades Are out, reviving animosities between pro
fessors and students of A bygone sercster.
RESTRAINING INDIVIDUALITY.
CTTDENTS in the University of Idaho feel that
they hsve to be dishonest to get through college.
They do not mean dishonest on the aense of cribbing
in examination but rather that because their orig
inality is suppresaed they have to become dishonest
in expressing false opinions. They are forced to be
insincere
Paper or theme on various assigned subject

"NOW, IN THE ACADEMY "
To the editor:
Tm in the law school bow and I Am rather out
of touch with th affaira ovr In th Academy."
A typical law atudent la speaking and a vicioua
and omlnoua gleam appear in tba ys of hi lis
teners. If ther Is anything mora disgusting and
more disloyal than that utteranc mad so often by
students m t" college of law, most of th under
graduates in the -academy" am unawar of It.
Law students hav a college consciousness to a
greater extent perhAps thAn In Any other division of
the university. They hav All of their classes in th
same building, under the same instructor. It is
natural and commendable that they should have thia
spiiit of unity.
But the fact .remains that the colleg of law is
only a small part of thla grt University of Ne
braska. And th law chool is a part of th univer
sity, not a separate division and the aenlth of aca
demic endeavor as most of th lawyer aeem to
think.
Studenta in the law college seem to cultivate an
air of superiority over the undergraduates In th
"acHdemy." They feel toward them mucn as we
typical university man or woman feels toward the
high school boy or girl. They ar encouraged in
this attitude by member of th law faculty.
The faculty members mak every effort to mak
their department of the university different and
therefore make It seem Apart from th unlvralty.
StudenU are urged to stay awaj- from university
Activities And to devot their Urn to lw college
affairs exclusively. At football games they sing
law college songs and let the -children" In the
".eademv" sins "There I No Place Like Nebraska."
Rallies and other student demonstrations are taboo
for the lawyer.
Even the facultiea of other college come in for
due amount of ridicule from th law professors.
Especially 1 this true when they speak contemptu
ously of some of th newly created school and col
leges that do not hav th tradition and the conse
quent conservatism that typifies the law profession.
Of course, the foregoing may not describe the
law colleges At Kansas and Missouri, but it Is true
of the Nebraska school It Is a disheartening con
dition but one that is not beyond remedy.

CIOARET REFUSE.
To the editor:
Terhaps cigaret butta scattered over the campus
are not repulsive to everyone, but they scarcely
create a favorable impression on th many univer
sity visitora.
Many people who never venture inside the halls
of any of the university buildings conceive their
impressions of the university from wnat tney see on
the outside. The groups of peop' collected about
the sunny sides of buildings smoking clgsreU at
far too noticeable to the passersby.
People ahould derive All the enjoyment which
life affords. If they enjoy smoking, let them smoke,
but let. them do It In their homes in th evening or
sometime when they can relax, rest and properly
enjoy a good smoke. It Is douhtea ir anyone re
ceives any great amount of enjoyment or satisfac
tion from a few hurried puff on a cigAret between
classes.
The Nebraska coeds Are to be commended for
the fact that they hav not thus far een fit to
adorn the campus with themaelvea while a molting.
If smokin must b tolerated on th campus.
then rooms should be provided In th basement or
some place where atudent can ao ineir munu,
away from the viaion of th critical public Not
that the rjublic should b deceived Into thinking that
students do not smoke, but la order that they can
see that students do other things more commenaa
H than smokinsr. Some people ar All too Apt to
get the ideA that smoking cigaret and caking ia All
students do, since that Is all they se tnem ao.
Or if this suggestion Is not practical then a gar
bage can should be placed near all th favorite
haunts of the amokera, where they may deposit th
remains of the cigarets they punish, so that the
neatness of campus will not be marred.

PARTY MEDITATION.
To the editor:
The "who1 who" cf Lincoln again moved to the
Coliseum Saturday night. A nondescript bunch of
undesirable patrons of university parties wer on
hand. But there were good points also. The color
scheme was remarkably good, thougn we rorgei
just what it wa. The Far East reigned supreme:
we were instantly enveloped In a aleepy atmosphere
of old Japan all except the incense burner. . . .
The favor wer fine, but they didn't go around.
That wa all right, though. Much more could be
said about the Ail-American parties both pro and
con but unquestionably th good point far out
weigh the poor pointa. . . -
