Student oditori M'ith "mcssaaes" sliouM
he foreed to stay after sehool ami yphon out
the ink wells, if we mny tnkn an inference
from John Rcntley's sport column "I May lie
Wrong." Mr. Bent ley. just ns many others
who have entered The Nehrnsknn' jolm fr
atliletea argument, aeemi to have ivm-hed a
few high powered conoluniotix without rending
the editorials about which he makes cute re
mark. "The Daily Ncbmknn evidently 1ms another
ditonal writer with ti 'mrssnce. deciues
brother Bentlcy in his Friday evening hlowof f,
"This time the school paper is hancing its
Lead In bhame because of the cras proselyting
eaniDalKn which it snvs the athletic depart
ment has gone in for this past summer and
tho next moment it is flaring up with uirtignn
tion because all the jobs available are pi veil
to athletes."
Much as we hate to contradict the local
commentator, The Nebraskan has never ac
cused the University of Nebraska of proselyt
ing athletes. We maintain that Nebraska is
one of the squarest, fairest schools in the coun
try when it comes to amateur athletics.
But we still contend that athletes do not
deserve all available part time jobs in Lin
coin. Good students should have a chance at
them.
Bentley, gathering more steam, continues :
"The editorial writer declares that we are
living in an 'athletic age.' " Tlerc, again, the
aportsman is off his journalistic base. The ath
letic age statement appeared in a letter writ
ten to the editor by a Nebraska athlete who
defended the athletic department's job filling
campaign. Mr. Bentley must have read The
NVbraskan's editorials by remote control.
"It is simply the caso of one more edi
torial writer with a message," concludes the
columnist. "And you can't stop those boys,
once they get rolling."
That seems to be the only right statement
in "I May Be Wrong."
Unfortunately, many students have taken
the same impression from The Nebraskan 's
editorials that Mr. Bentley hns expressed. The
athletic department feels that we have a per
sonal grudge of some sort against them. Quite
the contrary. Tho blame for this athletic
flooding of jobs cannot be placed entirely
upon the athletic department.
The University of Nebraska administra
tion should attempt to encourage promising
students to attend this institution. It that
were done, the university would regai- .ts bal
ance. At present, however, the athletic de
partment is entering prep school fields ns a
lone wolf, bringing its choice of athletes to
the university. No attempt is being made to
corral brilliant students.
Difficulty seems to rest in the fact that
the athletic department is awake to the nec
essity of bringing good material to Nebraska.
The rest of the university is dozing.
Why not organize a personnel depart
ment to assist In the discovery of promising
students and to help provide them with jobs?
Other schools have found this system effec
tive; but Nebraska seems content to let her
thlnti dpnnrtment do all of the promoting.
Athletes do not deserve all of the outside
job consideration but they arc getting it.

TO TIIK i:i)ITil5:
W appreciate our Moiiiihk Mad eriii
eihiil f the S t iiitit r llUliiber of thr Nf
briiska Alumniih. We are only smry that it
came to us in kik-Ii nil indirect iniinm r.
T. V. I. in ciMTivt in nsMiiniim that hid'
jtlie functions of our niiiyji.ine should be the
devoting of r-paer to those who have achieved
' marked suecesf in their chosen profession
From th conclusions at which he arrived, 1
take it thnt he did not rend the article, "These
Sixty Years" by Chancellor Hurnett, mr
glnnee nt the pictorial section. "We're I'roud
of These Nebni.skans." In such sections as
these we hope to bring out a pride, and loyality
such ns that to which he refers. And in de
veloping such sections we would he only too
glad to receive nny suggestions or any such
iuformnUon thnt he might have which would
enable us to give publicity to those who are so
richly deserving of it.
We have, however, other duties to per
form. One of these is the providing of a me
diuin in which alumni may keep in touch with
one another. It is to meet this need that each
September we devote considerable space to
the listing ot occupations and addresses ot uie
class which graduated the previous spring. In
doing this nothing would have pleased us more
than to be able to display a picture or rsam
Smith, who, unknown in college, stepped into
a position ns president of some growing busi
ness concern. But in writing this article wo
were limited in thut we could use only such in
formation and pictures as we had been able
to fnther. And so far as we could find out.
none of the graduates of '30 stepped into such
a position as president of a growing concern.
So we had to content ourselves with informs
tion concerning those who started out in a
humble manner as teachers, farmers, clerks,
and other such "mediocre jobs" as you would
have us ignore.
A letter from a certain alumnus which came
to my desk this morning brings out, I believe,
the difference between your point of view and
that held by one who has been away from the
university for years. This alumnus stated that
he enjoyed glancing over the cover, the stories
and pictures about those who were achieving
great things. But his real interest did not lie-
in any of these. He wrote asking for more
class notes and, in particular, information
about "Bill Jones" who has been out of school
for eieht venrs and now, with a family ot
three, is living in Chicago where he is just an
ordinary bank clerk on a salary of 173 a
month.

Bad Time.
Assistant Dean W. C. Harper takes issue
with The Nebraskan in an interview granted
the Omaha Boc-Ncws yesterday.
"We make no attempt to show favorit
ism in conducting onr employment, bureau,'
l,o r.Trlniiia "AnV l)OV W IO SICI1S UD for a
ioh has lust as good a chnne? of getting one
as his fellow students, regardless of whether
they're athletes or not."
This refers to the university employment
bureau, which attempts to provide work for
needy students. Its efforts on their behalf,
however, are not strenuous enough. The em
ployment bureau cannot compete with high
pressure men who get in touch with prospects
and take a personal interest in securing posi
tions for them. After the athletic department
gets through canvassing Lincoln, the employ
ment bureau gets tho remains.
Put tho blame where you will, the univer
sity is losing many .valuable students because
the athletio department engages so actively in
its job campaign.
Last Dantv
Just when the A. W. S. i oard has college
girls checking themselves out and double check
ing in at 12:30, E. W. raises another howl. He
fears that parties will edge over the 11:30
closing time, thus putting the check-room-lojuch-couuter
battle Lack in circulation.
We feel confident that Greek social chair
men will rally to the cause of 12 :30 nights and
order their parties closed at 11:30. Perhaps
they feel that a discreet shoving up of the
party deadline will bring another fifteen
minutes of social appreciation for coeds.
TO THE EDITOR:
Now what shall be done? birst the stu
dents complain that they don't have time to
eat, or get their coats from the check girl, and
still get in before 12:15. Then an obliging
. W. S. bonrd moves the tune limit down to
12:30 o'clock. One is satisfied, and departs for
parties or the park over the weekend with con
fidence that he will not starve or go home hat
less from lack of time to eat or collect wraps.
A shock awaits him. Instead of playing the
final number at l.:30 o'clock, ;is has been the
custom, the orchestra leaders delay the last
foxtrot until approximately 11 :45, leaving only
the all-too-short forty-five minutes for the
homeward rush.
One of two things could be done. Either
students must leave in the midst of the dance,
or else the orchestras must be turned off
promptly at 11:30. Of the two alteratives, the
latter seems the best method. Students simply
will not leave until the last dance is ended.
On the other hand, with a little co-operation
from fraternity and sorority social chairmen,
the music can very easily be stopped at the
usual time giving the party-goers "that extra
fifteen minutes" that they did their best to
get. E. W.
On Sororities.
TO TIIK EDITOR:
Greek-letter organizations come in for a
lot of condemnation, much of which is ex
aggerated and unwarranted, but the treatment
of pledges after rushweek deserves all it gets,
speaking from a sorority point of view. This
does not refer to the conduct of individual
sororities in beginning the discipline of their
own freshmen, but to the snobbery shown by
some sorority members towards girls they have
rushed and lost.
Every sorority can't have the same pledge.
She has a big choice to make in a short time,
and the good old rush line claims that friends
are friends no matter what rushweek docs, and
as a general rule this is true. But every lodge
contains someone who makes a particularly
good impression on the freshman girl, some
one whom she feels she would like to make a
friend, and when such people snub her after
her decision has been made some other way, it
is very disheartening.
Older coeds would do well to remember
that there are many disillusionments in col
lege life, as well as many bright spots, and
when they show their own hypocracy by hign
hatting freshies, who are due for a general
let-down anyw ay, they are being unnecessarily
cruel.
This campus Reems to be overrun with lit
tle children and cur dogs. We know where
the little dogs go.
