Students do not eem gnMly concerned over the
matter. There Is no flcmand fr thia poll from the
student body. In fact, it is difficult to y jurt
where there is a demand for a prohibition poll.
Because it can Fee no possible benefits to be
gained from a prohibition poll and because it can
foresee many probable bad effects The Nebraskan
is opposed to bringing up the quotum at the spring
election. The council should defeat the proposal.

POWERS Or THE DARK
To the editor:
In my opinion, the paychology underlying the
clandestine issuance of With Fire and Sword" Is
basically aound. Undoubtedly the Journal"- power
lies largely in the mystery which aurrounds the
Identity of the editor. For weal or woe. the un
compromising purging continues. The beams of the
floodlight of publicity aearch out obscure corners
and. ostensibly, enlighten the atudenta and the pub
lic by permitting them to look into our university
instead of merely at it. as we have hitherto been
compelled to do by the fortitude of the lalsses-faire
Attitude. I
IVan Lvman haa come forth with a t-tatement i
indicative of a broad-minded man And a genuine
pportsman. A salaam Is in order. The man who
can ca.t wide petty personal interests, face A fAct
though it slay him. and clear his vision of prejudice
In judgment is worthy of respect. I venture to say
that his behavior under harsh criticism will com
mend him even to those unsparing critics, the Gad
flies. Now for a word on Colonel Byroade's disserta
tion on the gentle art of manslaughter delivered At
convocation yesterday. It was gratifying to note
that the audience was guilty of no special applaud
ing or demonstrating when the colonel tried to en
snare them by lattling the scabbard, alluding to our
institution as an athletic institution and neglecting
to observe that he was addreasing an intelligent
group. I was amused by the polljannish manner
which the speaker assumed in relating Colonel
N hittlesey's reply upon being summoned to sur
render. 1 think 1 am justified in believing that a univer
Mty audience, "even the army," resents being sub
jected to an hour of whooping it up for militarism
when there are worthwhile subjects to be pursued.
I'd like to think that militarism is the last resort of
scoundrels. Any militaristic system is titanically
parasitic. It Is unfortunate that this university
must be instrumental in perpetuating thia sanguin
ary juggernaut. STANLEY J. MENGLER.
THE RECEDING GRIDIRON.
I AST fall John R. Tunis, formerly a metropolitan
L sports writer and at present a prolific contributor
of magazine articles, has started considerable dis
cussion concerning a shift in the trend in intercol
legiate football. After a careful analysis of the
situation the country over he came to the conclusion
that college men nd women are rapidly coming out
of the football hysteria.
Some observers on the University ot Xcbiaska
campus may be inclined to disagree with Mr. Tunis
after having seen the way Comhuskcr football has
continued to engender enthusiasm among Nebraska
students. The lack of interest in rallies was attrb
uted to the fact that the team was not up to trs
usual powerhouse form and thtt the rallies were
none too well managed. Nevertheless football was
and is one of the principal subject cf conversation
among students and it can hardly be said that Ne
braskans are losing interest in the gridiron team.
There are few wild jamborees in connection with
football games, however. And the enthusiasm that
envelops the student body is not of the virulent
type that formerly prevailed. Gate receipts may
continue to increase with growing crowds, but the
relationship of football to the university is hardly
the same as in years past.
TN PERUSDJG the old files of The Daily Nebras
kan, however, one finds some evidence to sup
port Mr. Tunis' conclusions. Nebraska has always
been a football school. Judging by the way news
stories were displayed in The Nebraskan, football
was. from the time the paper was started, more
vital to student interest than any other activity or
any other part of college life.
The big news item every flay was the progress
Of the various athletic teams. A picture of the
football coach and his predictions for the season
Invariably adorned the front page of the first issue
while the chancellor was fortunate if he rated a
picture on the Inside pages. His message to the
students was on the editorial page and he ordinarily
spiced it up a bit by urging them to support the
team.
Professors Joined the students in developing
"that old school spirit." They spoke at rallies and
pleaded for everyone to "get behind the team." In
one issue of The Nebraskan, Roscoe Pound contrib
uted a lengthy article on the development of foot
ball. One of the principal duties of the editor was
to comment on the progress of the team.
JUDGING from the columns of The Nebraskan,
there is less emphasis on athletics today than
formerly. Chancellor Burnett never feels called
upon In this era to ask students to go on the field
and yell for Nebraska. It is doubtful if the dean of
CURRENT COMMENT
SCHOLASTIC HONORS.
Phi Beta Kappa, national society for recognition
of scholastic honors in colleges of arts and sciences
in American universities has come under the ham
mer of the student newspaper at the University of
Nebraska. It is not the first time In recent years
that the organization has received criticism on the
ground that the grades used as a basis for electing
its membership are not a true indication of ability.
The long line of distinguished contributors to
American life that have come out of American uni
versities merits some recognition of the fact that
there is a correlation between scholastic marks and
those intelligences capable of ad ling significantly
to the world's thought. It is obvious, however, even
to the casual observer that the professor with hun
dreds of students cannot hope to classify the ability
of his students through grades with nearly me ac
curacy possible when institutions of higher educa
tion were smaller.
The surprising thing is not that the student edi
tor has recognized this fact but that numerous
members of the university faculty, members of the
society, have resented that recognition and ob
jected to the editor's criticism of the scholastic
honorary. They might better have critised his as
sumption that students with high grades secure
their grades by choosing easy courses and kow
towing to their instructors. Even a casual ac
quaintance with university life would reveal that
those actions come In general from a much less
serious minded group of students than those who
win Phi Beta Kappa.
Phi Beta Kappa has made a serious mistake in
recent years which the student editor has recog
nized, in its attempt to show that members of the
organization have been more financially successful
than other College gradutes. It is a faulty em
phasis, and it is doubtful If statistics would bear
out the contention. Some of the most successful
business and Industrial leaders do not hold college
degrees. The function of Phi Beta Kappa Is to se
lect those whose thought contributions may add to
the life of a growing nation.
In law, in every branch of the social sciences,
even to a considerable degree in the natural
sciences, honor students have played a leading role
in those thought backgrounds which will ultimately
develop a better life for this nation. Insofar as
Phi Beta Kappa is able to select such Individuals It
will warrant consideration for its achievements. In
sofar as fie grade system permits mere mechanical
acquirers of factual information to gain election to
scholastic honoraries, they can expect attack even
from those elected. By and Urge, society Is not
going to be greatly concerned with the bases of
election nor the members chosen, or not chosen.
It is going to be concerned with th contributions of
educated youth as they approach maturity, to the
constructive life of the nation.
