O'Brien's Suggestion That
Magazine Merge With
Others Ignored.
WIMBERLY DISAPPROVES
Publication Receives 100
' Rating in Book of
Best Stories.
In regard to Edward J. O'Brien,
prominent literary critic's sugges
tion to combine the magazines,
the Midland and the Prairie
Schooner, and possibly others, Pro
fessor Wimberly said: "I do not
believe this is feasible at the pres
ent time because competition is too
great and because of the financial
problem. Likewise, the combined
magazine would lack the individ
uality and character of the sepa
rate institutions. However, the
suggestion of Mr. O'Briens' is a
good one, and perhaps, in the fu
ture, something of this sort will
be done."
The Prairie Schooner received a
100 percent rating this year for the
second time in Edward J. O'Brien's
book. "The Best Short Stories of
1930," a year book of the American
short story. This honor means that
every short story appearing in this
magazine, for the year just past,
contained considerable literary
merit. In 1928 the Prairie Schoo
. ner received the same rating.
Three Star Stories.
The Prairie Schooner had four
three star stories out of ten pub
lished in 1929-1930.
The book which reprints a num
ber of the best stories from the
outstanding periodicals of the
country has included in this year's
edition two stories from the Prairie
Schooner. They are "Along a
Sandy Road," by Ellen Bishop, of
Omaia, and "The Voice of the Tur
tle," by Mrs. E. S. Draper of Os
wego, Kansas.
The rating which O'Brien gives
Nebraska's publication is on a par
with the Atlantic Monthly and
Forum and rates above such well
known magazines as Harper's
Magazine, North American Re
view, American Mercury, Plain
Talk, andJJcribner's magazine. -Significant
Writers.
O'Brien, who is now livir.g in
Switzerland, inserts the following
comment into his book, referring
to the three midwest publications,
The Midland, The Prairie Schooner
and The Frontier; "In these three
periodicals most of the significant
new American prose writers first
appear. It is in these pages that
you will find the significant
American novelists and short story
writers of the next twenty years,
so far as theje writers are indi
genous and spring from the soil."
A number of Nebraska writers
have had stories starred which
have appeared in magazines other
than the Prairie Schooner. Miss
Dorothy Thomas of Lincoln, a stu
dent last year at the university,
published a story in Scribner's that
was awarded the three star rating, !
Keene Abott, of Omaha, had a one
star story in Holland Magazine
during the past year.
Team and Staff Eat Hearty
Meal While Hosts Go
On Training Diet.
Nebraska football players and
the Cornhusker coaching staff
were honored at a luncheon by the
Lincoln Rotary club at the Lincoln
hotel Tuesday noon. The entire
football squad and the coaching

Rotarians were fed as " though
they were in training and ate the
fare they would have had had they
been going on the field in the aft
ernoon. They were given toast and
tea and a small potato. The other
guests ate heartily.
A scouting report of the Nee-braska-Montana
game by Don
chess of the Pittsburgh coaching
staff, supposed to have been found
in the hotel, was read by Ray Ram
say. The weakness of each player
was picked out and discussed.
After the meal the Pittsburgh
Nebraska game was broadcast
with "Hob" Turner announcing. A
play-by-play report of the game
was given and and peculiarly
enough, Nebraska won by a 7-6
score. Members of the Corn Cobs
and Tassels were also present to
represent the cheeing section.

MORALITY FOR j
ITS OWN SAKE
THING OF PAST!
BRYN MAWR, Pa. (IP) j
Morality (or its own sake is no
longer in vogue, believes Dr. Hor
nell Hart, professor of social econ
omy at Bryn Mawr college here.
Of this he says:
"We are through with the wor
ship of any arbitrary ideal. Let us
disavow, frankly and emphatically,
some of the old conceptions. Mor
ality for its own sake has no claim
upon us.
"Orderliness, obedience, con
formity, chastity, monogamy
such ideals are valid, only if they
promote deeper and more vital
values If they call out to the full
possibilities of the self, only if they
make for rich, intense, growing,
creative experience.
"The question should be, not
"how can we prevent people from
having sex experience not consis
tent with traditional morals?" but
'how can we aid people who seek
fulfillment of persona ity to estab
lish in their own livos those pat
terns of sex behavior which will
bring to them and their associates
the fullest and richest experi
ence ?"
Kentucky Studetits
Grotc Long Beards
Before Major Game
L E X 1 NGTON, Kentucky Un
like the king spoken of in the
Bible, the Suky Circle at the Uni
versity of Kentucky does not care
whether the boys of the campus
tarry at Jericho or Kalamazoo or
merely loaf at the Tavern; but it
is very insistent that these boys
let their beards grow until Nov. 1
and then return to" participate in
the beard growing contest spon
sored by the Circle.
On home coming day Suky will
give a silver cup to the boy who
has grown the longest beard by
this time.
The primary purpose of the con
test is to arouse school spirit for
the Alabama game. Although t it is
custom for the members of the
football team to grow beards for
one game each year, this is the
first time that all the boys on the
campus have been urged to do so.
However, since this plan has been
carried out most successfully in
several of the large universities in
the country, the members of Suky
believe that it will meet with equal
success and popularity at our own
university.

Blue Howell accounted for both

SELF MANAGEMENT IS
Theological Seminary Head
Advises Young People to
Know Themselves.
SAYS ENVY INJURIOUS
"This is an age of scientific
management and scientific man
agement depends upon self man
agement," Rev. Albert W. Palmer,
president of the Chicago. Theolog
ical seminary, speaking on "The
Art of Self Management"' told the
students of the university at a con
vocation in the temple at 11
o'clock Tuesday.
"Kidding ourselves will get us
nowhere," said Rev. Palmer. "The
principles underlying self manage
ment are self knowledge. To guard
against the dangers we must
know them. We can guard our
selves against practically any
emergency if we are prepared for
it."
Self Acceptance.
In addition to self knowledge,
self acceptance is necessary to
complete self management. "Don't
envy the other fellow, but face tte
facts as they stand, have a pur
pose, and accomplish it."
The third requisite to self man
agement according to Rev. Pal
mer is self organization. "Know
where vou want to go and go
there. We are all subject to im
pulses, and we must learn to dis
cern the right ones."
Rev. Palmer urged the students
to relate themselves with the bet
ter things of life: community en
terprise, the church, and God, in
order that the life may never grow
old. or commonplace.
In conclusion, "fulfill yourseif,"
he advised. "Every stage of life
has its' own rewards. Each year
well lived, prepares for greater
years ahead.'

Diagonal instead of the stand
ardized parallel parking on streets
adjoining and within the confines
of the campus proper caused more
"sleepless nights" for the guardian
of undergraduate welfar'e the first
two weeks than anything else. At
the present moment, however,
"Mack" finds himself in a much
better mood, all because his "park
ing" worries are becoming fewer.
Another great cause of concern
in the mind of the campus cop
when he was ordained Into the new
role was the insistence of students
to park on sidewalks either diag
onal or parallel. . But even this
practice has done a fading act.
RELIEF OF PARKING
Council Requests Students
From Near Campus to
Leave Cars Home.
CO-OPERATION IS ASKED
As a result of the congested
campus parking situation, students
living within a radius of six
blocks o fthe university will be re
quested to leave their cars home
during the class hours according
to a resolution passed by the In
terfrateniily council last night.
The lesoiution came as the re
sult of request from T. J. Thomp
son, dean of student affairs, that
the matter be taken up by the
council.
Althought there can be no au
thorative enforcement of the re
quest, it is thought that coopera
tion by the various fraternities will
do much to aleviate the present
situation.
Scholarship Question.
Discussion as to place on the
problem of a scholarship require
ment for . tne inntiation of men
having twenty-four or more cred.it
hours in the university. Three
plans were advanced, one requires
that every man must have an av
erage of 72 percent in order to be
initiated. Another adds the re
quirement that four-fifths of the
man's hours be above seventy. The
third plan proposes a straight "0
percent requirement for initiation.
Prof. E. F. Schramm notified
the council that the faculty com
mittee on student affairs is plan
ning an investigation of individual
fraternity finances. The investiga
tion is due to numerous complaints
received by the Chancellor and
Dean of Student Affairs concern

MANY GIRLS OPPOSED
A. W. S. Hiding Behind
Panhellenic Rule Is
Charge.
BY THE RAG MAN.
The national Panhellenic rula
against women smoking "on the
premises of sorority houses or
dormitories," embodied in the code
of rules governing conduct of the
women students at the University
of Nebraska has been termed ev
erything from "a reasonable regu
lation for a slate institution" to
"downright hokum."
Opinions obtained in interviews
varied from one extreme to the
other. Miss Dorothy Silvis, presi
dent of Theta Sigma Phi. honorary
journalistic organization, and a
member of Kappa Alpha Theta
sorority, thinks that the situation
should be clearly understood be
fore too much comment is raised
one way or another.
Says Miss Silvis: "There is one
thing about the whole affair that
editorial writers and everyone else
fail to understand. The A. W. S.
board hides behind the Panhellenic
rule against coed smoking rooms.
This rule is very easy to get
1 around.
"Hokum."
"Any sorority may secure per
mission fiom its own national or
ganization to establish such., a
room, then petition the national
Panhellenic organization. These
petitions are always granted.
"That's the way smoking rooms
in sororities and dormitories are
officially established on other
campuses, and could be here. The
A. W. S. board is using the na
tional Panhellenic rule as a shield
because they do not wish to take
action upon the question them
selves. "It's a lot of hokum."
Esther Gaylord, president of the
A. W. S. on the Nebraska campus,
defended the board's stand. "The
board," she said, "debated last
spring on whether to lay down any
definite rule on coed smoking, to
be' embodied in the new constitu

fraternity could not exist and com
pete with the social fraternities on
the campus, and some of the mem
bers wished to pledge men from
other colleges. The Grand Chap
ter threatened to take away the
charter if this was done.
As a consequence of the action
of closing their doors, members of
the fraternity investigated their
charter to determine their exact
status, and were very disappointed
to discover that their status as a
corporation is in some doubt. The
articles of incorporation were not
legaliy filed, and hence the mem
bers find themselves personally
liable for fraternity accounts, in
stead of being liable as a corpora
tion as they expected.
