A house mother in an unsigned lt ttrr r: losing
na clIrpinK ti-om the editorial page of Tuesday
morning' Nebraska State Jourral throuch th. Stu
dent rulse column today asks why ptrtus cannot
Btart and end fifteen minutes earlier.
For parties to end at 11:30 o'clock simply a
Nebraska tradition. And for the crowd to com
mence congre gating: about 9:30 o'clock is another
one. AH exhortations to get students at parties
earlier neem in vain. To change thH cu.-iom would
be as difficult as t" fret. Lincoln chinches to change
the hour of their Sunday morning servites or to have
football games played in the morning instead of the
afternoon.
A "go early to parties campatgn would be a
worthwhile cause to espouse but it would get no
where. Particularly asinine is the comment at the end
of the Journal's editorial rebuke which points out
that Nebraska taxpayers, who are helping support
the university, go to bed at an earlier hour than
students start for parties. That, the Journal .seems
to think. Is a cardinal sin, or at leas, .something
that the university ought to be downright ashamed
of. We are not here at the university to emulate
the taxpayer's bedtime habits. It is a case where
tha Journal's Insinuations have no valid basis for
application to this particular problem which con
cerns primarily the student? at the I'niversity of
Nebraska who are old enough to know what time
to go to bed.

GADFLY GOSSIP.
IK original chapel of Gadflies buzzed around
Tuesday night and left its second missive. These
lads are not to be confused with The Nebraskan's
Offshoot ohapel of the Royal Odor (correct) of
Gadflies, which thrives in the gloomy recesses of
University hall. The second chapter is considering
the publication of a rival sheet which, members
feel, can be far more scurrilous and laughable than
Number 2 of "With Fire and Sword."
The pettiness and ignorance f Chapter II of the
Gadflies, however, is clearly demonstrated in the
lengthy discussion on senior invitations whi h. this
year, have been placed In the hands of the purchas
ing department of the university. The contract
was awarded the lowest of three bidders. Charges
of corruption in handling invitations in previous
years may be substantiated by fact, but the invita
tion "weed In the garden known as the I'niversity
of Nebraska" was hoed out hefme the Gadflies
iwarmed In.
The Nebraskan Gadflies, of course, have very
fraternal feeling toward their brother editors. And
I must share this attitude to some extent because
The Nebraskan escaped sweeping criticism in this
issue. Great Is the organization of Gadflies,
mighty is the power of fire and sword, and slick is
the password of the organisation which, gentle
reader, Is a lengthy buzz, accompanied by a flapping
of arms in true fly fashion.
CHARLES MAYNARD KNEIER.
"THE resignation of Charles Maynard Kneier from
the faculty of this university brings regret to
all students who have known him.
As a teacher Dr. Kneier has heen an unqualified
auccess. He makes the subject of political science,
somewhat dry to some, extremely interesting to all.
His methods and sugge.'Tions are practical. He
atimulates his students to think for themselves.
Popular both with the adminis-uation am .stu
dents, every effort was made to retain him, but to
no avail. The students of Nebraska join with the
administration in wishing him well in his new posi
tion. To the University of Illinois, Nebraska stu
dents grudgingly extend congratulations In its suc
cess in getting back one of Its nalive sons, whom
Nebraska would fain convert into a loyal Coin-busker.
THE P. B. K. SALARY SCALE.
A TYPOGRAPHICAL hodgepodge in yesterday's
editorial ancnt grade getters needs a word of
explanation to make clear the point in question. It
had to do with the forty women who made up three
fourths of the Phi Beta Kappa class elected lat
week. The article meant to say that if the conten
tion that high grades and high salaries have such a
close correlation is true, these coeds in years to
come may be expected to make more money than
any men In the arts college except the dozen w hose
lofty grades admitted them to P. B. K.
The new Thi Beta Kappa men are seeking a
wider dissemination of this information on the high
salaries they may expect to receive with the idea
of alluring a few extra coeds because of the sta
tistical promises of a rich pecuniary reward later
ea la life. At yet. however, either coeds don't know
what chances they are milng. or they don't Ix-lleve
the statlxtH's.
Taut recordt of I'M I'eta Kappa's salary scale
may carry much truth, but the grade getters In
tod ay 'a mate univrialty are not to be coinpurrd
with the scholars of a generation ago. Individuals
come to college o young today thst their intellec
tual birth does nt arrive until their senior )r r
mayhap even later when they are out of hool.
The age range in univerititle the country over l
much lower than two score ytata ago. Youngaters
have fertile mind and make lugh mark, but their
thoughts are neldom ripened so that the have a true
conception of avholamhip and culture until they aie
over a major poi",n of their college work.

AT NEBRASKA
A HOUSE MOTHER'S LAMENT.
To the editor:
I hope you will publish the enclosed clipping fiom
Tuesday morning s Journal as the same Idea has
incurred to me no many times. Why not Mart par
ties a little earlier? That would solve the whole
problem. As It is we are completely dressed and
ready and wailing for our patty guests a half hour

that long. Tell me why?
A HOL'SF. MOTHKR.
Kditor's note: The following comment appeared
in the Nebraska State Journal the morning of Tues
day, April IS:
The university daily is clamoring for the
authorizing of a later closing hour at aororlty
houses. The present limit on open nights is
12.1.1. The Daily N bmskn wauls it hangi d
to 12:30. In a time schedule of the evening is
found: P 30. call for date; 0:4.1. arrive at dance,
etc. It seems that it has never occurred to the
university boy end girls that the evening
might begin fifteen minutes earlier. Many
good Nebraskan, who have never had the ad
vantages of a university education, to be sure,
but who pay taxes nevertheless are In led by
the time the fashionable university boys start
on their date.
SMOKING ROOMS.
To the editor:
Agitation for smoking room in university soror
ity houses has apparently subsided. It seems to me
that The Daily Nebraskan would do well to drop
the matter entirely.
No one pretends that there is any particular
moral issue in smoking by women or in coed smok
ing rooms. Certainly university women should be
on an equality with men in indulging in mild dissi
pations. Personally I do not think that unfavorable
publicity for the university should be the deciding
factor in granting or refusing this concession.
But 1 do not think that the university phonld
give its official approval to feminine smoking by
establishing smoking rooms. A very large propor
tion of the girls entering the unlver.-ity do not
smoke to any extent. There is no good reason why
the university should help them to cultivate the
habit in school by setting aside a special room for
smoking.
Many of them are not permitted to smoke in
their own homes and many parents strongly disap
prove of it. No one can maintarn that, in order to
smoke, they must secrete themselves away in some
dark and gloomy eating house. The whole outdoors
is free for one to smoke to the heart's content. If
the coed must have seclusion in which to drag on
her cigaret let her go to the eating house or to her
automobile, but don't make the sorority house a
smoking den.
Surely The Daily Nebraskan can find worthier
causes to promote than this one. F. C. B.
FLITTING FLIES.
TO the editor:
Happy days are here again! The second issue of
"With Fire and Sword" Appears, and several little
"Gadflies" arc flitting about the campus with smug
contentment and glowing pride in noble deeds well
done. These champions of rectitude and honor feel
the warm glow of high purpose and the delightful
thrill of living dangerously.
"What makes them feel this way?" M-m-m dunt
esk Louie! They have shown their lofty nobility by
a display of petty ill will that would do credit to
the most "uncouth" of the monsters which they pre
tend to discover among the faculty. These same
good men and true have displayed their virile and
stirring ideals by panning three faculty members in
a circular which they very courageously refrained
from signing. Let the writer confess that he is
puzzled by such stiange idealism.
It seems to me th.tt, if the uni.crsity is in dan
ger of destruction, the danger is not to be discov
ered by inspection of the ledgers of "Little Caesar."
I feel that the most truly alarming of the univer
sity's symptoms is revealed by the fact that a con
scientious and capable woman can spend years of
her life building a successful department, only to
be denounced by a collection of oafs and dim bulbs
that experienced difficu'ty in her courses.
In closing, let me assure these same individuals
that their endorsement of certain faculty members
is being received by those same professors with
singular lack of gratitude. OrUNTIA.
A HUNT FOR THE GADFLIES.
To the editor:
Several times since last September we have had
an inclination to join the ranks of those in the Stu
dent Pulse; but going on the theory that, perhaps,
new students are to be "seen and not heard," we
have refrained.
However, Vol. 1, No. 2 of the "Fire and Sword"
has proved too much of a stimulus.
Why do the Gadflies find it necessary to be o
mysterious, so stealthy, so underhanded? Do they
not know truth will bear investigation? Do they
not know the Bible injunc tion, "Come let us reason
together? If there is any reason to suspect finan
cial records, why not have an auditing committee
appointed the same as other organizations do? If
a few members of the faculty are not doing their
duty, why not appoint a committee to wait upon
said faculty members and point out their faults?
Then if grievances continue, circulate a petition and
if it finds justification go to the board of regents
and ask for a dismissal of the intolerable ones.
Wide experience teache3 conscientious people
that a face to face, honest, earnest, open and above
board understanding will do more to remove diffi
culties than the anonymous, besmirching articles
that can be pubilsned.
We would suggest that Vol. 1, No. 2 of "Fire
and Sword." just for a change, might have contained
some highly laudatory article. It is so refreshing oc
casionally to hear of something or someone that is
really worthwhile and lovable! C. E. C.
