MINOR OFFICES AGAIN
XTITU tba elections embroiled in politics, minor
clAh officers were fkw by freahmen. eopho-m-re
and intor Tuesday afternoon. There U
nothing disreputable about politics p'yl th
level, but there wss a demonstration of n un-h..l.-on.a
spirit In the conduct of the election
yesterday.
Copying maneuver used a year ago by tha
opposing fraternity political faction, bosses of bal
loting in these three claseea, announced the meet
inK the day of tht election. The paragraph men
tion of tht meeting was unfortunately pigeon-holed
Into an Insignificant corner of The Nebraskan Tues
day morning-. Thi aa the ole notica to the tu
dent body of the electiona.
The faction which iwept the field la not to
be blamed. Itf opponents would have delighted at
the tbanee to pull a almllar coup d'etat. If uch
termmolcgy could be applied to thia afalr. The
election merely typify the Intenae factional spirit
that exli-ta above any idea of clana loyalty or claaa
organiratlon for the purpoae of uniting all claaa
matea. The Student councU rightfully recognired the
unfair tactlca hown In auch a pretty matter and
U considering wayt of voiding the election. Any
attempt to throw it out on grounda of insufficient
notice, however, will lend aome weight to the pres
ent Insigtlcanca now apparent In elections of
minor class officers.
But If the council wanU these office abolished,
it should attach no Importance to the elections,
which are meaningless and carry no honor.
A GLANCE at the elections Tuesday shows the
futility of building up a claaa spirit in as large
a university aa Nebraska. Members of one political
faction were urged to attend this trio of elections
with the aole Idea of sweeping the slate. Politics
reigned supreme.
It is disheartening but interesting to note that
within the last fortnight lengthy dissertations on
university consciousness, the need of class organi
sation and unified action among the classes, have
been rendered by representatives of all political fac
tions. They spoke idealtstically of sacred sentiments
that should be closely allied with this institution.
It is regrettable that factional spirit as that
manifest Tuesday should frustrate an opportunity
tor constructive service. The idea ot various classes
leaving memorials to their alma mater on gradua
tion, recently offered, la a noble one. Would that
there were some practical means of carrying it out.
There are other worthwhile movements besides this
that classea could back effectively if completely
organized.
To achieve this, however, means a complete
subordination of factions to class spirit and class
loyalty. Until that comes about, beautiful senti
ments about university consciousness will be hypo
critical palaver of politicians and sincere beliefs
only of those who can see beyond the edge of
factionalism and meaningless politics.
THE STUDENT INQUISITION.
'rHAT is a sizzler that is popped at the editor in
"An Kditorial Rebuke" by "Questioner" in the
Student Pulse column today. Since the very liberal
criticism that ha3 been voiced by the ardent inquisi
tor in the adjoining column has also been mentioned
by seveial indignant pedagogs, it would be well to
clear up any misapprehension regarding the at
titude of this paper.
Clearly stated in Sunday's NebtaskHn was the
remark that if students have sincere and reasonable
questions, they should feel free to raise them in the
classroom. It is against students whose questions
are not justified that The Nebraskan's sentiments
are directed.
"Qaestioner" finds it so easy to misconstrue the
position taken by The Nebraskan. He implies that
in the Sunday editorial, entitled "Student Hecklers."
this paper advocated that every student sit tight
and never utter a peep in any classrooms.
There le a certain category of students, though
the dividing line cannot be too closely drawn, wnich
disagree- with professors just to be disagreeing
with them, which asks questions either to display
their knowledge of the subject matter or to cover
up points they have not learned, and which waste
class time haggling over relatively unimportant bits
of Information.
These Individuals who make lecture periods dia
logue! and who monopolize quiza sections, imagine
themselves the new spirit of radiant youth. Torch
in hand, eyes on the summit of a lofty goal, these
interrogators and probers of the new truth, will
forge upward and on. Now this idea has a lot of
good point In it and should be encouraged In a ra
tional way. But It must be tempered with judg
ment and unselfishness In an Institution as large as
the University of Nebraska.
Wfcen ten or twelve are in a classroom, or when
the class is meeting In quizz secUon, let the Ques
tioners, their brains overloaded with pregnant deas
and their tongues rattling every time a new point
occurs to them, prattle among themselves and with
their professor. But in larger classes, especially lec
ture courses, these intellectual inquisitors must de
fer their interrogation until class is over so that
soms of the general factual information will reach
the majority of the students enrolled In the course.
Yfrt .tudenta ask reasonable questions. Such
axs to be recommended. Often they will clear up a
pualing matter for others as weu as uiemncivc
But much of the hypocritical intellectual "curiosity"
which should be emphasized m the university, how
ever, might well be applied to textbooks instead of
to the professors in the classroom.

To the editot;
In llw Hunda iMua. folluttliig an editorial on tba

literary gem ar4 that mini have been written
fullowmg n trip down the toiementioaed street at
high aMed. Your mental wanderings on the subject
of aludenta ho ak queatkms in rlaa weren't even
fiuuiy.

Then, much of the work cornea out of tet. You
will Oo your readera a great lavor if you will give
ihm tha kev to perfect undc ratanding of all the
contents of their l'ks. Were your prnue on both
of these matters correct. It la obvious that there
would be no reon why everyone ahouldn't rank up
In the I'U'a. At things are. we are all lucky to get
fcmewhrrti m the ?0'i after the grades have been
staled from 3 to 10 percent
I will s imtt that there may he students who seek
an nnnortunltv to make themselves stand out. Hut
doea the exiotence of this minority give cause to in
dict the many men and women mho have sufficient
interest In their work to want to have It clear in
their minds?
X ask you to say with frankness whether it Is
your honest opinion that there la even one lone stu
dent who hasn't at one time or another felt the hon
est necessity of asking a question? Or what la more
impoitant for the type of Intellect that the univer
sity stands for. do you think that a student can go
through the school without houestly doubting or dif-
fiTinir on some subject sometime T If siuoenis oo
have honest doubU, the greatest contribution to so
ciety they can make la to air them.
Take the professor. I set out at the beginning
that I did not wish to criticise the merit of our
faculty. If the professor.... Is of the quality that
we hope our instructors are. he will have a knowl
edge so comprehensive that It is highly impossible to
present el'mentary details in such fashion that they
will be clear to the students as they are to him. IX
this Is true. Isn't the time taken answering ques
tion well spent?
T rhallenre vou to tax a referendum among uie
professor. Find out whether it la not often helpful
tn thrm to have the class tell them wnai mey ao noi
understand. . . .1 believe that you will find that they
generally agree with me. If they do not, I submit.
do they possess thi breadth and fairness 10 serve on
the faculty? QUESTION.
WHEN HUMOR ISN'T FUNNY.
To the editor:
A letter to The Daily Nebraskan yesterday as
serted categorically. "Nebraska wants it Awgwan
back." We don't know by what license this L. C. D.
speaks for the student body of this large university
of ours, nor by what proceaa of observation he
determined that Nebraska does, in fact, want her
Awgwan back. But it doesn't really matter. He
can judge aa be wants to.
Hi arrument is two-fold. First or au, ne
says, "This offspring of collegiate wit and humor
rsic!) is as much a part of our great, insuiuuon
as anything that we might now mention aa being
renresentative." The first half of this sentence de
feats itself, and the second is manifestly an ex
aggeration. The trouble with the Awgwan has been
just this, that It bas never ceaseo "eig en m
spring. It never did grow up. Its humor was
larely adult.
That it is an intrinsic part of our institution,
an indispensable student enterprise, ia a notion which
really shouldn't be taken very seriously. To take
the last issue of the Awgwan as a case in poini.
1 would sav that if that smut is representative
of Nebraska's Institutions and ideals, then woe to
the institutions and ideal!
The second part of thia argument was that
Nebraska needs the Awgwan because the journal
ism department teaches both newspaper ana maga
zine, and so the journalists and neo-journalists need
something wherein they can get practical experi
ence. This contention confuses the needs of the
university with the supposed needs of one of its
departments. A common logical difficulty, this is.
I suppose that since we have a military department,
we oueht to start war to give the cadets some
practical experience in the arts of battle.
I believe that the experience or mis univerbity
has been that there is not enough real talent,
willing to work, to put out a humorous magazine
which contains genuine humor, bmut ana cneap
"art" and fraternal pleasantries and borrowed trash
won't make a humor magazine humorous. D. F.
WHY BRING THAT UP
To the editor:
We would suggest that the advocates of a
revival of the Awewan let well enough alone.
Within the limits of our memory the Awgwan has
failed twice and has been abolished. It is not
a sure thing that history will repeat again, but
the factors leading to the demise of the humor
magazine have in no wise been altered.
One writer says we have a need for a magazine
on the campus. Thi argument is answered in
three ways. First, we have a number of literary
hiitinns such as Prairie Schooner. The cn-
tributors are uut limited, and the standards arc
hih. both literarilv and morally. Then, the Aw
gwan at the best could serve as a magazine labo
ratory for only a few students, perhaps one-half of
one percent.
n,. .r. various courses offered in the Eng
lish department calculated to accommodate those
students who feel called upon to wnie uu v
th. marine tvue. Finally, if the student merely
wants to read a magazine, he cay go to any of
the downtown bookstores and purcnase a puoin--.-h,
that la reallv eood instead of reading what
has never been more than a mediocre humor mag
azine. . .
The advocates of the revival of smut and ob
scenity suggest further that various courses in lit
erature and drama offer much more Immi ral read
ing in one week than di4 the Awgwan in an entire
semester. This is probably true if a student looks
at such courses from that point of view. Such is
surely not the Intention of the faculty, however.
In the case of the Awgwan we are very much
inclined to believe, from perusing several copies
and observing other students in the throes of joy
whilst doing so. that filth has typified the maga
zine for the sake of tilth, and not for the sake
of humor.

national agreements, as they are
best made in secret, rublic opin
ion must wait patiently until the
final plan I completed. In the
meantime, it is very curious.
France seems to be holding up
the works right at this time. Tar
dleu and Briand are obstreperous
on two important points: First of
all. they refuse to accede to the
principle of parity with Italy, or
with any other arrangement which
will threaten their superiority in
the Mediterranean. Secondly, they
refuse to limit in any category un
less they are given security.
France seems to be adamnant on
the proposition that she will not
reduce any of her war armament
unless she is assured, by treaty
arrangements, that she Is running
no risk. So she blusters and flour
ishes huge paper fleets, for which
she hasn't the money, in the face
of the exasperated and tiring del
The security which France de
mands, it seems, may take one
of two courses. One form of pact
would bind all the signatories to go
to war against any aggressor na
tion who violates the general
treaty arrangements. This would
be clearly repugnant to American
policy, and American public opin
ion. We have rerusea to enter mi
Leaerue of Nations, which aims to
attain this state of organization,
and so far we have remained aloof
from the comparatively harmless
World Court. Our senatorial stand
patters represent a powerful sec
tion ot American opinion wmtu
demands that we remain aloof, as
far as possible, from European
political entanglements. But aside
from this objection, such a pact
would be obviously unsatisfactory
because it contains within itself a
fundamental weakness. Who is to
determine when a nation is the ag
gressor? By what rules? By what
methods? Any international treaty
of pacification which seeks to in
voke punitive sanctions veers lr
resistably to the establishment of
such an organization as the pres
ent League of Nations. Why make
a new one ?
The other possible form, where
in France may get her security, is
a pact wherein the powers agree
that in no case will they go to war,
where a violation of the treaty is
involved, without first meeting in
international conference. This sug
gestion would not encounter an
overwhelming opposition in f3e
United States. It seems to have
some promise of satisfying the
French claims. Whether it will do
any good is another question. In
the heat of nationalistic rivalry, in
the absence of established machin-
