At present the young man and ornun who 5e sire to study on Sunday or ho want to rend Sundays browning- over m-orthwhtle books are tremendously handicapped because they must resort entirely to fraternal dena or rooming houses. Fraternity and aornty houses and dormitories are. a a rule, poor environment far the Sunday student. These places on Sunday serve many pur poses but to engender a spirit of study or an atmosphere, of quiet. Thera ara many justification for leaving li braries open on Sunday. They would aerve both the people who want to atudy and those who u.e libra ries as a source of intellectual recreation. They would provide wholesome places for university stu dents to spend their Sunday afternoon -certainly more so tban the average fraternity or dormitory. Two or three hours in the library' Sunday after noon would give many a student opportunity to get lessons which otherwise would go unlearned. More than this, students interested In keeping abreast of the times and in making the most of the cultural aspect of an education would be able to delve into new fields, now closed to them because of an inade caite place to atudy Sundays and lack of facilities to browse around and acquire such information. There is no moral issue involved in leaving the libraries open. Religious workers in church-going Lincoln have no objection to the city library being open Sundays. Neither they nor the people through out the state would have objections to the univer sity offering similar places for its studenta. Quiet librariea would be favorably contrasted with the hubbub of activity at student residences on Sunday afternoon?. The need of the Sunday open library seems so apparent without further elucidation and argument on those points already mentioned that additional fjpi,oT eirs jncecesary. Support on this matter haa been assured in conversational inter views with faculty members and students. The ad ministration of the university haa been broached and has turned favorable ears on the subject. The cost of opening Social Sciences library and the two desks in the central library would be very small over the nine-months period. As the build iocs are heiled Sundays the only additional expense to tne present library budget would be for helpers, j Perhaps this would amount to $1,000. But who can think of a better way to invest $1,000? A PROFESSOR'S PROTEST.

Vou can understand, dear Mr. Editor, to some extent my feelings. I want to do my whole duty. But there roust b something wrong. Am I not attractive socially because of personal failings? 1 had suspected that this might be the case because of somewhat similar exjeriences in the past when chaperoning student affairs. So I had studied care fully the advertisements which tell us wny we are shunned like pariahs at social functions. Some of the girls of the sorority at the dance are in my classes, but whenever they caught my eye they looked away. What is the matter with me? Such treatment baa never been accorded my wife and me on other campuses, where we have chaperoned student af fairs. In every case the committee in charge, and frequently the whole organization, greeted us. What can 1 do to make myself more agreeable? Dean Thompson says that we should chaperon parties, and if 1 don't he may take my job away. And yet a man can scarcely be expected voluntarily to let himself in for three hours of social ostracism. I await helpful suggestiona. PERPLEXED PROFESSOR. RIDICULOUS INCONSISTENCY. To the editor: When D. F. wrote that the general opinion of the university waa not in favor of having Its Awgwan j storv back, I don't believe that he was voicing the opinion i of the maiontv. I have heard numerous comments 'THE school . .. . . . . . 1 1 -. . - ha- to tne eliect mat aiuaents miss tuosc musua ; the Awgwan gave, and I should be willing to wager that a straw vote would prove that I ara right. As for the argument that the Awgwan had "smut, cheap art, and borrowed trash" for its con tentsstuff and nonsense. Perhaps D. F. didn't know that some of the "cheap" art won first prize sufficient to remind us that official spring doesn't arrive until Friday, March 21. Personally, we wouldn't mind snow and cold right up to finnl exam week. This warm spring weather Is awfully bard on us. The old sulphur and molasses bottle came out- and with seven term papers to write, we were lylnj around hunting fcir-leaf clovers. a But then, this weather Is great for the punnkcis. Box-lunch joints and delicatessens are doing a rushing business on Sunday aft ernoons. Plus-fours are aired to the spring breezes. Monday colds-in-the-head are becoming an epi demic. And the embattled farmers who own wood-lots are oiling up the old shot-guns. aaa A LTHOl'OH spring brings to us promise of summer and Joy and so forth, it also brines various maladies, among which the open windows of the conservatory are no small items. With the first robin, some hale and hearty music lover shoves up a window on the thin! floor and carols forth over the campus. The violinists, the pianists, the wind and percussion performers, all follow suit. Our idea of a fraternity hell week would be to chain the pledge to a lamp post outside the school of music and let him stand and listen eight hours a day for six days. a a We note from a Nebraskan news item that one of our instructors climbed through a transom in or der to open a classroom door to his students. What are we to de duce from this act? That Darwin was right? That evolution has a place in the university? That it wm a class In gymnastics? Or that it was a class In second-story work ? Possibly not the latter, however. We understand it was a class in short-story, not second- awaltlng the new men who have unseli ishly offered themselves t the cause. aaa A student opinion bewails the late lamented Awewan. Says the author: "We hear the question. 'What do college people read?' Darned If 1 know." True, brother, true. This calls to mind a cartoon appearing in the Saturday Eve ning Tost a few weeks ago. The girl, drlnklnff tea. says to the young man. drinking lea: "Are you fond of books or are you a col lege student?" aaa The student opinion goes on to , ask: "Isn't good wit and humor i good art?"

"TAKING matters into its own hands, the Student council yesterday abolished minor class officer finally. This action was recommended by the coun cil some time ago, but wa tabled by the faculty committee on student organizations. Feeling, since Tuesday's unofficial election, that some immediate action should be taken, the council ventured to pass I this legislation in disregard of the faculty com mitee, Perfeonnel of minor class officers is a trivial matter; the principle underlying the council's move, however, is commendable. That body, the only rep resentative student group on the campua, is work ing for the good of the student body. That is has exerted its independence in this matter shows its true eligibility to legislate for its fellow students, j Juat how the faculty committee will receive tnis news is questionable. As for that, the council ex pressed its youthful curiosity of this body by ap pointing a committee to investigate its powers in dealing with council legislation. The Student coun cil is taking a courageous interest in its work and rightly wants its authority clearly defined. of Journalism sent out ninety-three columns of ! news on the basketball tourna ment.

TUESDAY ELECTION IS THROWN OUT (Continued from Tag l.l Instead of by the popular vote of the entire freshman class. "Upon the above reason. I am basing my refusal and I am sure even Nebraska freshman will agree with me as to the truth of these facts." Kelly Agrees With Council. The junior president. Robert Kelly, the only blue r-hirt to be at the head of this semester's classes. Is In hearty accord with the coun cil's action and has attested to the fact that he will hold no meeting for the purpose of electing minor offices. A notice was run in The Daily Nebraskan for several days announcing that a meeting would be held next week, but Kelly has withdrawn the promulgation and refuses to call any meeting in the future. McCleery's Resolution. McCleery's class office resolu tion reads as follows: "Whereas, the announcement concerning election of minor class offices for freshman, sophomore and senior classes was not official. In that it did not go through the hands of the managing editor of The Daily Nebraskan. hence fail ing to receive proper display; (there was, further, no cause for such an item to be slipped secretly Into The Nebraskan, because ar rangements had been made previ ous to The Nebi askan's copy dead line, i and, "Whereas, such method of an nouncing a minor class office elec tion was not ethical and waa not in accordance with the Student council's standard for student elec tions, and be it "Resolved, that the elections of minor officers for the freshman, sophomore and senior classes are declared unofficial and that stu dents elected to these offices are not class officers."

"THIS morning a professor, in the Student Pulse column tells of the manner in which he waa treated when he agreed to aerve as chaperon for a sorority party. He, like many others, has found that he is shown no evidence of welcome, receives no thanks, and can only credit the three hours of social ostracism to hia religious duty as a professor. His protest is deserving, for it is rare indeed that a member of the entertaining group recognizes bis social obligation sufficiently to speak to the chap erons. They are tolerated, and no more. They are not Invited, but merely asked to attend to comply with the university regulation demanding a guard. Perplexed Professor comes to a very logical con clusion when he finds that be would gladly refuse such calls were it not for his duty. No professor should feel any obligation to eccept an invitation when he knows that be is not really welcomed as a guest. The professor haa seen from one angle a situa tion that also has its student side. Parties are not in reality fraternity affairs but are simply semi public dances, paid for by the fraternity. There is no spirit of cordial friendship. Bids are scattered among a large number of fnenda or Influential peo pla, and tha mob drifta In, dances, and drifts out.

But there are many people with little or no serine of humor. P doesn't think we took it for the best that was in it. But there are many people who are more or le cynical about their associates and themselves. Still those who appreciated the old Awgwan can't have it because of a few tarnished exchanges long since forgotten. Lastly, there is the argument that it waa never grown up in the quality of its humor. Did it ever have a chance to grow up? Faculty interference haa twice swung it axe on it when it was beginning to come into iU own. Yet that same faculty feeds . us Greek and Latin classics, Shakespeare, Moliere, Hauptmann, and Russian literature that is far less wholesome in its outlook and far more filled with flagrant indecencies than a year's accumulation of Awgwans. Granted. P. J-. that this is only true of those who are looking for that sort of thing. Students who aren't looking for it won't find it in the Awgwan any more than In tha classics, and a light coat of soot taken with a laugh will never stay with one ao long as that which one finds in a more seriou piece of work. If I were aaked right now to repeat one of the Jokes out of the last Awgwan, I couldn't do it, and I doubt if there are many who could. They don't stay with you. I should be in favor of taking such a staw vote as I mentioned at the beginning of this but the fac ulty would never permit such a thing to take place.
