or more correctly, split Into faction. orgamrations
and fraternitin until It U entirely Ineffective.
The d n t-give-a-hang attitude of the student in
anything- of an all-university nature ban been
evinced in the way the Student Vnion proportion
haa been received.
Two or three month Ago a dinner for oranira
tion prenhicnti a given by T .frmor F.. F.
Schramm, who aoushl to lnrir in thes-e .-indent

looKing for something for clM officer! to !o The
pre-ldentt were called upon, aroae. waxed e.Hii. nt
in behalf of t Student Vnlon. arke highly o uni
versity apint, wer carried away by the rithne
of the plana laid before them.
That organisation was to be made permanent
with a Student union as Its ultimate material goal,
with cultivation of university apirit Its real pur
poje. The presidents were all excited about the
idea, unanimously voted to perpetuate the organl
ratlon. It ha never met alnce. and never will.
the STUDENT union Idea eventually was pre
aented to the Innocents society. It. too. was
very much in favor of the plan. Some members
talked of launching a campaign this spring. But
nothing ever came of It.
Recently the rlan came before the Interfrater
nlty council. That body, with Ha usual compunc
tion, voted to support a Student Union building.
The Interfraternlty council would vote to support
anything. The sad part of It Is support thus far
has meant nothing.
Kven in a project that would bring about a whole
some spirit of university consciousness, there is a
dearth of Merest, a lack of leadership, a disinter
ested attitude.
If students would only set aside their petty in
terests and devote a little of their leisure time to
working toward something of an all-university na
ture, the result would be felt throughout this insti
tution. If students were concerned enough to find
out Just what a Student Union would give them
perhaps their enthusiasm could e aroused to some
extent.
First, the union would provide a place where the
entire student body could be accommodated com
fortably. The gigantic and uncomfortable coliseum
is a poor substitute.
In addition to this auditorium of sufficient mag
nitude to care for all the students would be a spa
cious ball room for general student parties, special
rooms for societies, boards and organizations,
chambers for such groups as the Sludeut council,
the Barb council, the Interfraternity council, and
the Panhellenic council, recreation rooms equipped
with pool tables for men, alumni association bead
quarters, lounging rooms for men, and commodious
rest rooms for women.
T"HIS building'would be the extra-curricular center
of the university. It would be the place for
rallies and all general student gatherings. It would
combine the activities now housed inadequately in
the Temple and the Coliseum. The Coliseum is too
large, too far removed from campus life, too much
taken up by other events, primarily established
from a growing athletic program. The Temple is
too small to house even a third of the student body,
let alone take care of the multudinous organizations
connected with it.
The cohesive qualities of a Student Union building
cannot be underestimated. More students would
become interested in activities. In the general mix
ing that would result at this all-student center, the
present bars between affiliated and non-affiliated
students would be removed to a large extent.
Interest of an all-university nature first could be
stimulated through a campaign for the Student Un
ion. The erection of a uuilding first, last and al
ways for the students, would create considerable
student spirit. Once established, this university
interest could be kept at a high pitch, a university
consciousness would be realized, true school spirit
would dominate.
It is this interest that transcends the pettiness of
factionalism and fraternalism that should be em
nhasized in as treat an institution as the Univer
sity of Nebraska. When one has an opportunity to
be a student in such a school, the pride that shouia
accrue should surpass the feeling so many have
come to have fore their individual social organiza
tions. Ptpfnrp Student Union building is erected, in fact
before a serious campaign is launched for it, the
students themselves will have to snow mat ineir
primary extra-curricular interest is in the Univer
sity of Nebraska. Until then the Student Union
idea will be a dream.

ANTON'S EPITAPH.
"NCK again haa Anton Jensen challenged the
honesty and Integrity of the university admin
istration. He Is acquiring the habit.
A mimeographed circular distributed by the ini
mitable Anton Monday evening and Tuesday morn
ing goes once more into the Alexander affair, drags
il a&Ain from the closet to which it was relegated
three year ago. trie vainly to make an Issue out
of it.
Students, whose interest is only casual in the
Alexander matter, have not been given a true pic
lure of the situation, but a colored, partisan judg
ment by a man deluded and misguided as far as
the University of Nebraska Is concerned.
Faculty men who remember Doctor Alexander
knew him as a great scholar one of Nebraskas
grfntcst but a very impractical administrator. He
expected too much in bis Idealistic conception of
the way the university should be run. He believed
that the faculty, not the state of Nebraska, should
operate the university or at least voiced those
sentiments in bis letters to regents. He seemingly
forgot that the faculty's position is primarily to
teach the student body. j
The main point, however, is that his dissatisfac-
tion was not and today Is not shared by present ;
Nebraska professors. There is no unrest among
faculty members. They have not bitter plaints
about the way the university is run despite Jensen's
repeated efforts to rekindle the Alexsnder bonfire
into a major conflagration and a terrible holocaust.
To Anton Jensen, intemperate in bis indictments,
inimical to the best interests of the university as
The Nebraskan sees them, fanatical on a subject he
has harangued about since his dismissal from this
Institution, the columns of this paper are closed.
A discussion of any additional handbills he may see
fit to distribute will not be carried on in The Ne
braskan which regards his palaver as so Utterly
biased and so misdirected that to consider it is a
waste of time and space.
Any student or faculty member thoroughly con
versant with the situation will realize that this at
titude is not one of fearful suppression. It is keep
ing out of The Nebraskan ignorant, rabid, hum
bug prattle that can find no other newspaper in the
state which will publish it.
HARDBALL BALLYHOO.
A MONG the matters discussed by faculty repre-
sentatives and athletic directors of Big Six
schools in their recent meeting here waa the pos
sible abolition of baseball as a Big Six sport. Final
decision will be made at the conference meeting in
December, according to the account of the gather
ing here.
Just why the great American game may receive
the official boot was not announced by the com
mittee, which said only that such action was being
considered because of the "professional aspect of
aoma teams." Another reason which seems far
SERENADE SEASON.
pRECIAN jazz bands and fraternal boop-boop-a-doopers
are becoming a possible menace to sor
ority scholarship as the serenade season swings into
immense popularity. Each night, nocturnal song
sters filter around sorority houses, causing squad
rons of coeds to hang perilously from windows and
balconies. Their agitated rushes are rewarded by
the harmonious attempts of collegiate warblers.
Perhaos this Is the fraternity man's way of bring
ing sorority scholastic averages down within his
reach. It may, on the other hand, be the modern
method of outdoor advertising.
The roarinc. smoking, auto parades of other years
have eiven wav to these innocent, harmless tune
expositions. Obeying the edicts of the Lincoln po
lice, fraternities complete their spontaneous recitals
before the witching hour of midnight.
Times have changed.
Last vear. no serenade was complete without a
popping truck, its platform supporting a nonde
script orchestra. Soloists crooned their plaintive
melodies, accompanied by scraping renaers ana es
caping exhaust. Sleep was impossible within a
range of four blocks when a Greek letter band
mobilized for its musical tributes.
Cynics may sneer at the boyish antics of sere
nades. This "collegiate" activity, however, goes
to make up the interval life of a university. Sere
nades, rallies and other forms of spirit expression
are valuable supplements to the humdrum labors
of education. Such affairs make possible a differ
entiation between a college and a correspondence
school.
POINT OF VIEW.
CAID ONE business man to another in discussing
employment of college graduates, "I would
rather have a fellow who majored in philosphy
work for me than one who has specialized in some
course of business training."
The other man agreed. This is the explanation
they gave in the discussion that followed.
Men who receive a set course of training become
adherrents to a certain business theory. They in
sist that it is right. They are interested in their
theory more than in the people with whom they
must constantly deal.
Men who take broad courses whioh do not con
fine themselves to one definite theory naturally de
velop a broader point of view. They see the various
and individual problems confronting their clients.
They are not hidebound by dogmatic theory or a
set code which they have learned.
The university, after all, does not pretend to give
the specific knowledge that will lead its students
through the business world. It tries, in the main,
to give a broad and understanding point of view to
all who patronize it. It makes an effort to stimu
late individual and honest thinking. This ability to
think, which should come from university training,
is the lasting and valuable product of a college career.

always a good way, but a little

much difference. It's not such an

you've ever noticed. Most news
