getting xcited over anything except football

Thi extremely conservative attitude is not typH

be sure, but they did signify a willingness to do
something besides merely exist.

movement

IT IS DIFFICULT to understand the indifferent j
Nebraska attitude, though it I typical of th '
great mass of people outside the university gates. J
Throughout the nation, an apathy and a spirit of
complacency exist. Teapot Dome scandals fail to
arouse their indignation; state elections cannot stir
their interest. 1
At Nebraska only one-fourth of the student body j
votes. Less than that number would cast ballots ;
were it not for fraternity coercion. Fewer than 100
students are actually concerned about the welfare
of the student body and are interested enough to
take an active part in extra-curricular life.
In the classroom they continue this "I don't care
attitude." They are devoid of ambition, stick-in-the-mud
who are attending a university without
catching a glimpse of the responsibility that every
citizen should assume the responsibility to be in
terested in all matters of public welfare.

FRATERNITY "PUSHING"
To the editor:
It is said there's fraternity politics on the Ne
braska campus -at lea.st we should suspect there
is, since three factions have been given the official
o. k.
But there's more politics than what is recognized
or what appears on the surface. There politic
richt inside of every fraternity house. And the
NYTH1NG of a constructive nature that could
arouse the universal interest of the student
body should be welcomed at this university. If
student evince enough interest, active organiza
tions on this campus and associated with this uni
versity are willing to launch a campaign for a Stu
dent Union building, one of Nebraska's crying
needs.
But this spirit must be built up, must arise spon
taneously from within the student body, if such a
project is to be successful. Today this campaign
would suffer tremenduously because of the disinter
ested attitude most students would show.
Their attention is never united on any construc
tive measure. Something that tends to tear down
like a i Ally-riot may inspire them to action Rut
when accosted with the idea of a Student Union,
which seeks to build a better university within and
without, they turn their beads.
University spirit that feeling of pride and inter
est in this institution should be developed through
the erection of a Student Union. Once built, such
a structure would serve as a continual stimulus
to all-university consciousness. It would wake up
some sleepy Nebraskans who right now might just
as well be going to Idaho as far as their present
feelings and university attitude is concerned.
HOME FROM COLLEGE.
CCENE: Main street of Smallburg, Nebraska.
Cfcaiacters: Sam, the baker's son. Lucy, the
farmer' daughter. Mary and Joe College, just
home from the University of Nebraska for vacation.
Lucy: Well! can you beat that. I don't see how
Joe College can elevate his nostrils so high just be
cause he has been to the university.
Sam: Didn't he speak to you?
Lucy: Yes, but that condescending high-tone way
of his. I suppose he thinks he is too good for us
now. He just tries to advertise the fact that he's
been to college with those corduroy and those
knicker and that sophisticated way of his as if he
were doing the town a favor by coming back and
living here a few days. And Mary College
Sam: Isn't she a big pain though? She used to
be a pretty good girl but now she thinks she was
born for better things than Smallburg and people
like u. She spoke to me when I passed her this
noon but what a fine snob she's turned out to be.
Lucy: And she smokes cigarets just continually.
Sam: It too bad they couldn't have stayed in
Lincoln.
"THAT IS a typical conversation that is very likely
to take place in any number of small towns in
about a week hence. People in small communities
fail to realize, that college life does have a ten
dency to change student, but it should rot be in
such a way as to make them snobbish.
It is very likely to change their mode of dress,
their manners. It may wipe away some of their
earlier moral taboo and eccentric mannerisms. If
a year of college life doe not change them at all
it can be checked up as a der.d loss.
Student should, however, make a special effort
to avoid being snobbish or undemocratic when they
return to their own communities. They are likely
to be misunderstood anyway and they can make
matter worse by assuming an air of aloofness.
The change should be Internal. In point of view,
but it need not make a difference in the attitude

aad hi old friends.
get ahead.
At this time of the year, just before the close of
school, the big boys in the lodges are getting their
heads together and doping things out for the next
few years. The "logical lads" are being picked out
of the sophomore and freshman classes to be
"pushed'' along so that when they reach their sen
ior years they can be blessed with the insignia:
"Campus Kings."
Now, don't misunderstand the writer; he has no
objections to all thi. In fact, he rather like it
and is inclined to encourage it, although he him
self never was fortunate to receive any of the
plums.
The object of this little missive, however, is to
give an outgoing senior' reflection on the manner
in which this "pushing" business i conducted.
It is a well established fact that some frater
nities get ahead of others. How do they do it?
The process is simple. You only have to know
how. The fraternities who soar above the others
are those who always push the right men. They
test out their undergraduates in the various fields
of extracurricular activities and those who produce
the best results are given the grapes. They then
centralize all of their attention on the one or two
who show the best prospects and all others are
shunned.
Popularity on the campus is one of the strongest
factors taken into consideration by the leading
Greek letter houses and never do they try to shove
anyone ahead who is but little known around the
campus confines. This is one of the most potent
reasons why they are so successful in keeping their
bold on activities.
The lesser fraternities, on the other hand, do not
play the game right. They can never expect to
achieve any great distinction unless they start right
now and push the right men and give them every
thing they can. They cannot do, as most of them
have been doing, sprinkle their activities around to
more than one man, but pick out the one who has
the best start and let him carry the work on
through. Then they will find that everything
around this campus doesn't have to be run by just
a few fraternities, as is so often alleged.
AN OUTGOING SENIOR.
A HAND FOR GILMAN.
To the editor:
La Selle Gilman's column has taken its last bow
before an appreciative audience; he deserves a
great deal of commendation for his work during the
past two semesters.
"Between the Lines" was clever and refreshing.
Gilman turned out a feature column that could
carry off laurels in competition with many big time
articles. Talent such as his improve a college
publication more than many student realize. They
turn immediately to Gilman's column, to read his
droll mockery, without realizing its value.
Few people have the ability to turn out pag-e
after page of fresh, entertaining material. Most
person who are endowed with thi talent, however,
have the accompanying characteristic of laziness.
Perhaps that is why the Awgwan failed who
knows ?
Gilman, your stuff waa clever. 8orry to ee you
go, but perhaps someone will appear to fill the gap
you leave in The Nebraskan. I hope so.

"Juit A Good Jok."
"It "a Just a good Joke." was the
pharmacy dean's comment. "If
there. was any maliciousness or
viciousness Intended in the thing,
tha author will have to be awfully
disappointed because I enjoy it.
"The possible oDjeciion inai

Dr. Lyman then referred to the
apace he received in one of the
issues of "With Fire and Sword."
outlaw sheet which has appeared
on the Nebraska campus this se
mester. It was after the appear
ance nf that issue that the doctor
declared he appreciated what was
said about him although it was
intended to be derogatory.
"I looks as though the dog house
or 'Lyman' kennel' has been a
decided asset to the University of
Nebraska. It has helped to put
the university in the limelight with
all of it additional publicity," the
dean asserted.
He believed the dodger to be
nothing more than an experiment
of certain students or others on
this campus to arouse his ire. But
the staid Dr. Lyman will not be
moved by this any more than he
was by the previous "publicity."
Gadflies "Extend Hand."
Pinned on the last issue of the
copy of "With Fire and Sword"
which was mailed to Dr. Lyman
was the following note, he said:
"To you, Dr. Lyman, we extend
our hand. You are truly and gen
uinely a sport. Signed, In Ab
sentia, The Gadflies."
Although much interest seemed
to be manifest by the student body
in the pending dog show, only one
person accosted Dean Lyman Wed
nesday morning, curiously seeking
information anent the affair.
' "He was such an innocent lad,
too," said Dr. Lyman. "He was so
anxious to know where the show
was being held and be wanted to
see the kind of dogs that were to
be on exhibition. I thought at
first he was Just fooling but dis
covered later that he showed a
good deal of disappointment when
I told him it was nothing but a
practical joke."
Rumors were spreading fast and
furious over the campus concern
ing the identity of those who were
behind the "fluke."
It war said that one .rf the
nightwatchmen had discovered
someone posting a bill on one of
the campus bulletin boards and
that he had reported his findings
to the dean of student affairs of
fice. Thompson Shed No Light.
Thi story, however, was dis
quieted by Dr. T. J. Thompson,
dean of student affairs, when
asked about it Wednesday. He
aaid be knew little about it, and
had not seen a copy of the hand
bill until presented one by The
Daily Nebraskan reporter.
"I have only heard that there
had been some posted on the bulle
tin boards." attested the dean of
student affairs. "No nightwatch
man has reported anything to me
about Tuesday night. From all
appearances it is just a scheme to
get the university community
stirred up."
The executive declared no offi
cial action would be taken on the
matter, since everyone viewed it
as nothing short of a Joke.

Meet End Big Six Seon
The conference meet ended the
indoor season for Nebraska and
tha souad bent their attention to
outdoor work in preparation for ;
the Texas Relays. Schulte took a I
squad of twenty-two men to Texas
for the Texaa relays on t naay ano
Southern Methodist relays on Sat
urday. The high spot of tbi tup
wa the performance of Coburn
Tomson, Big Six champion and
record bolder in both the Indoor
and outdoor broad Jump. Cob,
came through in fine style to win
his event in both meets. Other men
who placed in the games were Ho-
kuf in tne discus, rayunger in ine
javelin, Rhea in the shot and Craig
in the broad jump. The four milu
relay team ran a fine race to place
second to the Butler team and the
two mile team picked off a third.
Taking his squad on a trek to
the southern part of the confer
ence, Schulte sent his men into the
Kansas relays and the following
Wednesday, took on the Oklahoma
team in the first outdoor dual. The
high light of the Husker competi
tion tn the Kansas relays was
Hugh Rhea's victory over big Jim
Bausch in the shot put. Faytinger
and Hokuf annexed points in the
javelin. Tomson placed In tb9
broad jump and the two mile re
lay team placed o finish the
Husker scoring in the meet.
Oklahoma Easily Conquered.
The dual meet with Oklahoma
was one of the bright spots of the
Husker schedule. Entering the
meet with the dope pointing to a
toss-up, the Nebraska team per
formed over their heads to win
85-46 in one of the biggest upsets
of dope the Big Six has seen for
some time. It was in this meet that
Rhea g-ot off his best heave of the
year, 50 feet and 2 inches.
The Drake lelays, wlieie the best
athletes of the country are seen in
action, had its share of Nebraska
men competing and placing. Bill
Ossian came through with a place
in the pole vault, Tomson placed
in the broad jump, Faytinger and
Hokuf placed in the javelin. Lam
son grabbed some points in the
hurdles and Tomson and Craig
placed In the hop, step and jump.
Hugh Rhea, after breaking the rec
ord in the preliminaries, lost to
big Jim Bausch.
Tiger Tramped On.
The Huskers returned home for
the remainder of the season with
saa looming bfr them. Th Ti
ger failed to furninb any oppo
sition for the Nebraska team and
th Kchult men riled up a lop
sided a ore and won th meet with
ease. The dual with Kanaas was
another matter as big Jim Kum h
