Smoke-But No Fire!
Nebraska's coeds, buxotn and skinny, beau
tiful and homely, intelligent and dumb, are
continuing to gulp mourhfuls of cigaret smoke
in public eating places. But they have taken
no action whatsoever to recognize a condition
which they billboard before the public.
"We are not concerned with the moral issue,
for we aee none. The Nebraskan does not rec
ommend cigarct after every meal, nor does
it gasp mazedly at the brazen college girla
who inhale smoke. ....
If coeds feel that smoking is a terrible habit,
one which should not be countenanced by
sororities or university, why do they con
tinue it?
o o
The Nebraskan has dipped into this, nits in
an attempt to present some incentive- for coed
action. If these bleary eyed, man mad col
legiennes are satisfied to flaunt hypocrisy to
the world, then we are dashing madly ahead
with the banner of a cause which dummied
out some miles back.
In defense of smoking coeds, excluding those
dim-witted gilded ladies who inhale for the
glllery, we reply to the Horning Mail letter
denouncing any girl who has tasted the rile
tobacco.
The gentleman or lady who has so ade
quately panned smoking coeds does not realize
that some women smoke for pleasure and not
for show. We must admit that a share ot them
are show-offs, Tut not all. The assertion that
women who smoke do not and never will
amount to anything is a wild biased state
ment. Many prominent women admit their taste
for tobacco. There are intelligent, moral coeds
on this eampus who like to smoke and feel
that it is their personal privilege. If the daily
trader considers smoking an undesirable habit,
what does he think about tipping the hat! Or
eating with a fork? Or wearing low shoes!
Major Julia C. Stimson, superintendent of
the United States Army Nurse eorps, spoke in
Omaha recently, making the following state
ment about smoking:
"We do it in the east and 1 can't imagine
that a woman in the west is in the least con
spicuous if she uses nicotine. No one can stop
the habits and customs of the people any more
than he can stop Niagara Falls. The reformers
might as well insist on high shoes and loner
hair for women. People are blind who refuse
to see the trend of the times."
Smoking seems to be a trend of the times
and it has been accepted by many women.
i.oeds on the University of Nebraska campus
are smoking. Why not give them smoking
rooms! No steps are being taken to stop
smoking, probably because everyone realises
the hopelessness of such a task.
o o
What claim have smoking coeds to honesty, j
sincerity, courage when they TuDmn to arbi
trary rules concerning their habits? Why must
the university publication devote its space,
much to "A Daily Reader's" embarrassment.
to a condition that might easily be remedied
by women student themselves!
If coeds consider smoking an evil, why do
they practice it! If they consider it a matter
of personal taste, why do they consent to be
driven from their homes to indulge!
"Where there's smoke, there's fire," asserts
the old adage. In regard to Nebraska's coed
we see plenty of smoke but very little fire.
Vote, E4)-Dn!
Political machinery has wobbled across the
campus and another collection is open. The
student' council, with it sleuths and sleuth
nesses, will be on hand at the Temple lobby
this morning to w that Nebraskan hold a
fair and square ballot battle.
The major purpose of tomorrow's election i
to be the naming of four claw presidents.
Thess glorified individuals will find their
nam gracing the front page of our modest
publication and will bask in their own light.
This basking will continue for a few days,
after which the honorable presidents will erawl
back into their eave of darkness.
Why does not the student council, virile
body that it is, find aome work for these elans
presidents! Thi matter has been brought up
time and again, but still no action has been
taken.
o
Organization of the four classes would be a
commendable thing. It would increase a spirit
of aolidarity in the student body and would
enable certain student problems and project
to be more efficiently handled. Each class,
after tomorrow, will have a figure head but do
Last year the student council abolished mi
nor elass offiees, sueh as rice president, secre
tary and treasurer, becaue it considered them
foolish and superfluous. The body went on
reeord a unanimouly opposing the continued
election of minor clam offWra.
That was the next IWt thing to do. If last
yrar'b romnil had hem able to provide kouu
woil for the minor officers, then their eon
tlnuej ciittence would have been juntified.

This U always the ease. It U simpler to abol
ish than to build up. It is easier to find r.
smis for the removal of elass officers than to
sugitest logical duties for them. Hut the stu
dent council must do one or the other.

Yon Want It?
Last yesr tho university student body went
haywire on an alleged football rally. Kalsc
spirit was evoked by one means or another
and the iiiNpired students swept everything be
fore them in their synthetic enthusiasm.
Since it is the Innocents society's task to
manipulate rallies, that body decided that false
spirit was a bad thing. The senior honorary
agreed to limit its rally activities to large
games, before which student spirit would be
spontaneous and beneficial. It hoped that the
University of Nebraska student body would
respond with a show of true spirit.
Some people blame the Oklahoma defeat to
the absence of a sendoff rally. Perhaps the
fact that studenta seemed unconscious of the
game and disinterested in the team is partly
accountable for the defeat. Who knows!
An organized rally cannot be staged for
every game, however, or student would soon
rtrrnme bored with the Troccs and brand it as
a publicity stunt fostered by the athletic de
partment. But students themselves, if they are I
interested in football and in Nebraska's team,!
should act individually in the matter of rallies. (

Fooliih Stuff.
To The Editor:
Why don't you cut out thi foolish coed
smoking stuff. There is nothing constructive
about harping on something that most every
sensible person recognizes as a bad habit. In
my opinion it i too bad we have to tolerate
a bunch of these weak kneed little sisters
around a great university. That type of girl
deserves no attention. She probably amounts
to nothing now and never will amount to any
thing so why devote a page of editorial to
her! If that i her idea of catching a man,
God pity the man and her children. Imagine
yourself marrying one of these smoking babies.
The ashes from mother's cigarct and the smoke
rolling down over your offspring's head.
Furnishing suitable quarters for undesirable
habits. 1 cannot see it. Let us try and tehch
these poor little, nervou. popularity seeking
girL that they had better forget it. True
womanhood, both mental and physical, is not
obtained by practicing some foolish bad habit.
Let's have aome good constructive letter from
men like Judge C'happell, Dr. Stanley Welch,
etc. If necessary promote some research work
on the subject.
Vouiu for a constructive paper.

What I M
To the Jiditor:
I notice Nebraska got another big write up
in an Omaha paper concerning school spirit.
It made special mention of the big send off
rally that wa so generously given to tht Corn
huker football team as they left for the Iowa
State game at Ames. If that was a SHrnpl of
a big rally I would hate to witness one that
was even mediocre, not to mention one that
wa smslL
Out of a student body of 6000 able bodies,
vigorous, loyal, high spirited young men and
young women, approximately fifty were pres
ent at the "big" rally. Think of it, less than
1 percent of thow so-called "backers" were
there. Maybe their mamas thought the other
99 percent might eateh cold.
I didn't see anybody there that looked so
innocent either. What do they do for a pastime
after they get their green caps soldt And
where, oh where, were the Cobs and Tassel!
I thought they were pep organizations of
course I've only been down here for three
years o 1 may not quite comprehend their pur
pose. However, after the turnout Thursday
night I wonder why they want to go to Kan
sas. They might eatch cold down there, too.
Well, maybe we shouldn't be too hard on
them. After all it' only a football game and
athletics are stressed too much anyway. Of
course it would be different and much more
convenient if we could break down doors and
get out of class to rally for the boys. That
would be much more fun. What of it! They
probably will loae the game anyway.
That's the spirit, folk! That good old Ne
braska spirit that everyone bears about all over
the United State. Nebraska, where every
loyal student baeks the boys and never kicks
them in the face when they are down. Oh yeh !
I suppose the welcome they got when they got
back from Oklahoma was a aample of that.
And after a week of harping about that, what
kind of loyalty would you eall a turnout like
Thursday night. And still they say the athlete
gets all the break in thi university.

THE total capacity of watcrwhec-1 generators
built by General Electric in the last ten years is
more than enough to supply light and power for
twenty cities of one million population.
Installed in power house along the waterways,
these machines transform the strength of mighty
rivers into useful electric energy for homes, for
industry, and for transportation.
The vuion and skill of college-trained men art
largely responsible for the continuing leadership
of General Electric in its service of furnishing
