JSmoknitf ocili on the .flirka rumpus
hive carried their inhaling activities to an ex
tent which demands action of some sort oo the
part of the sorority and university powers. The
Nebraskan yesterday recommended that the
punhellenic body which prohibit sororities
from having smokine; rooms would be wise to
tear a few years from its official calendar ana
iraze uoon present conditions.
The editor finds himself magnificently ti
nouneed by Aroused in Morning Mail. Tins in
dignant person is mortified because the "Maid
editor" can find no more important snnjeci i.r
comment.
Our mponsibilitv is to the student body
our interest is in the behaviour of its members
When any action or rule is opposed to this eon
duct, we feel that it merit discussion in the
editorial coKimn.
"To think that if smokinir loiuim were in
stituted in lorority houses the ludicrous pni"-
lioe of coeds smoking in public places would be
forever abolished." expounds the up-in-ainis
commentator. "The conclusion is absurd.
With apolopies to Aroused, the conclusion
is not absurd. Some coeds smoke because they
consider it is cute, smart thing to to do. but
there are many who enjoy their after dinner
indulgence. If they were provided a room in
u hieh to smoke, they would not scurry to every
available nook for llnir puffing. And there
would be fewer coeds smoking to show off.
Smoky Sal, a sorority girl, agrees with
The Nebraskan in its contention that author
ized smoking rooms would reduce the offen
sive amount of smoking congregations in pub-
lie places.
Another, though less intelligent, letter con
cerning the agitation is presented by Long Suf-
leier. His sympathy seems to be more with the
downtrodden college boy who must provide
filthy weeds for his companions than with the
coeds themselves. He grieves more because
coke customers are driven away from their
hangouts than because university women are
outcasts when they indulge in eigaret smoking.
That 73 percent of the proud mothers and
fathers of college girls w ould be revolted at the
idea of smoking rooms in sorority houses is the
argument advanced by Katie. Well, Katie,
that is a difficult statement to prove and .1
difficult one to answer.
Yesterday The Nebraskan stated that par
ental prejudices which drive children away
from home to participate in certain acts are to
be deplored. If coeds 6moke, is it reasonable
that we salve their parents' sensibilities by fail
ing to recognize an existant condition?
Katie's opinion represents a stand taken
too often by students, college editors, and uni
versity administrations. In an attempt to con
vince outsiders that the school is simon pure
they allow disagreeable conditions to gain
great headway. Such is the case, we believe,
in regard to smoking rooms in sorority houses
and dormitories.
W are not placing our stamp of approval
on coed smoking. It doesn't need it. Univer
sity women are using cigarcts quite consis
tently. If the administrative or panhelleniu
disapproval to which Katie refers were ac
complishing anything of a constructive nature,
this matter would never have been considered.
"Permitting smoking rooms in sorority
houses puts the university's approval 011 a prac
tice condemned by at least 75 percent of the
fathers and mothers."
That is unfortunate. But it is our 'sincere
conviction that youth's morality would be
higher 11 practices such as smoking, which arc
not evident moral issues, were regulated in
stead of ignored.

What I have to voice right now is direct
criticism to the editor of The Oaily N'cbiasknii
for the nonsensical conclusion be lias drawn
about coed smoking at the I'liivrmitv of Ne

"We are not concerned with sinokinir a a

Idiie body, to take her puffing daughters out
of public places and allow them the reasonable
freedom of their own homes as a place in which
to smoke."

TO TUB KDITOK:
I think the Daily Nebraskan does well to
reopen discussion on the subject of one of the
most musty and altogether unreasonable rules
that this school clings to that against coed
smoking in houses. Jt was put into effect long
before smoking as a practice for girls became
prevalent in this part of the country and yet it
is unchanged. There is a rule on the statute
books of Lincoln that all stores must have
hitching posts out in front, too.
About the only argument that anyone can
put up is that having smoking in the houses
would not renn-dy the practice of smoking in
public places. I take exception to that. Cak
crs will indulge occasionally, of course, but
many a booth in many an eating house would
be empty of girl smokers after meals if they
could go to a eomforlable room in their own
houses and puff in peace.
A man usually lights a eigaret when he
fiiiishf a meal. A large number of sorority
girls would like to. but they have to trot out-
Still Puritan.
TO THK KD1TOR:
Hecausc most of us have become i-eeoiieili d
or at least calloused to the spectacle of a coed
with a eigaret between her lips, we cannot see
the viewpoint of those who are still verv inuch'
prejudiced against it.
A great many parents would be shoeke.l t
the idea of smokine rooms in iritis' ronmiuir
houses and sororities. These parents are not
the intolerant, narrow-minded and backward
folks our campus liberals would have us bt-
ieve. They arc the taxpayers and the ones that
are footing the collegiate expense bill.
Jt it were true that most sororitv irirls
were permitted to smoke in their own homes it
would be an entirely different situation. True
it is that sorority houses are their homes while
they arc in the university. Rut I do not believe
that is the ease even in this liberal age.
i frmiumg smoking rooms m sorority i
houses puts the university's stamp of approval '
on a practice condemned by at least 7,'i percent
of the proud fathers and mothers.
Smoking rooms will be verv desirable in a '
more enlightened aee but not in !!):(() with its:
ruritan prejudices.
KATIK.
How It Looks.
0 THE LDITOK:
poking rooms in sorority houses at Ne
braska hae been suggested to keep coeds from
puffing their fags in back alleys, restaurants,
and other places of undesirable nature. Then
is a national panhellenic ruling against such
rooms and this must be overcome before they
could be a reality.
If the ruling were abolished and the smok
ing rooms instituted, would thev prove success
ful? Smoking among girls at the university is
not regarded as anything unusual now by Iheir
classmates in the institution. Hut what their
classmates and what the citizens of Nebraska
outside the school Ihink are two very different
matters.
Girls who smoke arc still pretty largely
condemned by people outside the university.
And sororities which brazenly instituted smok
ing rooms in their houses would be proclaimed
as the very worst.
By some queer streak sororities and fra
ternities are not held in very high esteem by
this state's citizens. But if smoking rooms were
adopted by sororities, their infamy would be
even greater.
At every session of the state legislature,
some crank attempts to abolish Greek-letter or
ganizations. So far, such attempts hsve been
easily squelched and the possibility of fraterni
ties and sororities being obliterated seems far
removed.
There may come a time, however, when
such societies may be done away with if ex
cuses for tyrading such as smoking rooms in
sororities are thrust in the faces of the sancti
fied reformers. Why add wcod to the flame?
If coeds must smoke, let theia continue as Ihey
