(Tomorrow
Is Dad's Big Day.
University students will clasp hsnds with
their fathers tomorrow in the university s an
nual Dad's day celebration. The men whose
sons and daughters have adopted this school
will be snatched for a moment into the spirit
of Nebraska's university.
Innocents and Mortar Board societies have
co-operated to make the 1930 demonstration
worthy of the fathers who will attend it. A
special luncheon for university dads has been
arranged for tomorrow noon. The Lincoln
chamber of coninurce dining room will be
turned over to the fathers and their collegiate
' chips-off-the-old-block for a general conclave.
. Fraternities and sororities are asked to co
operate with the senior honoraries in their pro
motion of the Dad's day luncheon. These or
ganizations, by encouraging their members to
attend the special luncheon, will be instru
mental in making Dad's day an entertaining,
significant occasion.
Many Greek groups have agreed to close
their tables to dads tomorrow noon, but have
planned special dinners for the honorable visit
ors in the evening.
Nearly all colleges and universities in this
country set aside a certain day, dedicating it to
fathers of students. Many plan stupendous
programs, in which the entire student body
takes part. Nebraska, because of its unwicldly
bulk of students, concentrates its house-warming
on the special noon luncheon and the after
noon football game.
Some students feel that their fathers would
get little enjoyment from the back-slapping ac
tivities at the luncheon. The Innocents and 1
I JHortar. Boards, however, have attempted to
arrange inis gei-iogeuier 10 saiuuy me guccia.
Speakers have been engaged who will offer
short, short, speeches. An orchestra will play I
throughout the meal and the Corn Cobs will
be present in their regalia to offer the dads
a snappy sample of Cornhusker cheering.
Don't forget Dad tomorrow. Show him n
real time, for his high spots of enjoyment are
probably thinning out. The University of Ne
braska regaled itself in true hospitable splen
dor for the Texas A. & M. football crowd
shall we do less for Dadf
We suppose ther must be a attain in every
normal youth which urges him to be gentle
manly. Someone has whittled out a different
model for the college man of today to follow,
however. Too many people consider rank in
difference to custom, and avoidance of any
thing that might be considered courteous, as
commendable on the part of Mr. 1930. Those
who pretend to be worthy of the term gentle
man must throw on the emergenry brake when
it comes to curtain forms of activity.
Take, for example, of what-not-to-be, the
jolly collegian who lets not a week end shuffle
by him without a little hell-raising. He dials
a feminine prospect, arranges a date for Fri
day or Saturday night, and begins planning
where, how and on what he may get plastered.
He shows up for his partner of the evening in
an alcoholic daze, flounders into her abode, and
greets the damsel.
The fair lady arches her eyebrows cleverly
at the little rascal, grabs his elbow and ushers
him once more into the bracing night air. But
he has had too many bracers already. They
wobble into a car and are whisked to some
public place here a party is being thrown,
presented, or offered as the cases may be.
.
Feeling the stimulation of his drinks, the boy
wonder gyrates around the dance floor. His
partner is naturally embarrassed, but what can
she dot A girl's gotta be broadrainded, eh
Mabel t Unless she wants to stay at home and
knit socks for the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
By the time the imaginary curfew has clanged,
most everyone in the place has laughed at the
intoxicated boy and his helpless date.
What does all this meant
Just this: that the boy who eozzlcs his liq
uor, ignoring at present the legal and moral
issues involved, is being extremely ungentle-
manly to the girl who has consented to accom
pany him for the eveniig. He has made himself
ridiculously conspicuous. More than this, he
has probably given half the busy-bodies in
school a splendid opportunity to accuse his
date of being equally liquored up.
Some code of personal conduct would not be
amiss in a university. Of course we have page
after page of laws, rules, requests, recom
mendations and other forms of ethereal bunk,
but have we anything that might appeal to the
basic decency of young men and woment No
we keep harping on the little things until our
eyes arc speckled and we cannot visualize any
thing of importance.
A few college students drink. We do not ex
pect, in our life time, to see drinking elimi
nated from colleges entirely. We hope, how
ever, that the good, old time chivalry and
decency have not flickered completely out of
existence.

When The Nebraskan announced its panacea

from

L. F. Seaton, operating superintendent of the
university, considers impracticability of en
forcement the "chief" objection to The Ne
braskan's brain child. Since the university has
no power to prohibit parking on Twelfth,
Fourteenth or R streets, Mr. Seaton does not
believe the plan fcaaible.
Could the university secure permission to
handle parking problems on these streets t If
this is possible, then the plan is not imprac
, ticsT.
The operating superintendent, iunner, minus
that students might trade or swipe tags. This
could be eliminated by the officials who
granted parking permits. The license number
of the car qualified to bear a sticker could be
printed on the insignia. Thus the enforcing
officer, student or otherwise, would be able to
detect these violators.
When a condition has become as annoying
and inconvenient as parking around this cam
pus, it requires some method of regulation.
This corrective measure may involve some ex
pense and troublo on the part of the university,
but if it would remedy the situation it is worth
the effort.
If our pet plan is entirely impractical, we
shall crawl back into the editorial cavern and
pray for another inspiration. If the idea is
practical, however, we crave action !
A Sermon
on HelURaiaing.
In the days of charging steeds and iron
tuxedos, chivalry was the big noise in male con
duct. The fundamental aim of every young
husky was to rescue a maiden from distress of
one sort or another. Kings conducted pnb
licity eampaittns, offered prizes, and in general
made things soft for the gentlemen.
Chivalry has floundered during recent years.
Whereas the gallant knight would give his left
arm,'his right arm, or even his life to go down
on the books an a gentleman, the modern young
. man fc&s other ideas about the matter.
"Dancing W ith Tears . . ."
TO THE EDITOR :
Grant Memorial hall is headquarters for
women's athletics at the University of Ne
braska. Sport-minded girls gather here for
their indoor games, and the officials of the
physical education department have their
offices in the same building. The lower floor
is used as a dressing room for the girls. Part
of the space is devoted to lockers, and part to
dressing booths, where the girls may change
into their sport togs. The showers are located
in another part of this lower floor. Recently
several girls have had things stolen from their
booths while they were in the classroom, or
outdoors playing games.
The building is accessible to any girl, but is
used almost entirely by thone interested in
sports. They come here for their games, and
for their required classes. This department
of physical education is maintained to encour
age fair play just as much as to build un our
young women physically. There are only a
few exceptions where the girls do not enjoy
the games and their hour of play with other
girls. It hardly seems fair that one or two
girls will violate the spirit of fair play so far
as to sloop to petty thievery.
Many girls nave had the heart-breaking ex
perience of going down to dress after a class
and finding some of their clothes missing. It
works an extreme hardship on a girl who has a
class the next hour to discover that her hose
have been stolen especially if the thermome
ter registers in the neighborhood of freezing.
Lingerie is almost imperative in zero weather.
But colds which result from exposure can be
cured. If the pocketbook permits, one can
always buy new lingerie. But one cannot
always replace valued gifts, or jewelry which
has been in the family for years. When the
light-fingered snooper take things like this,
they don't realize what it means to some girl
who has received some piece of jewelry ss a
prized possession. There is a sort of empty
feeling in one's stomach when something is
stolen, and a deep feeling of disgust which
doesn't wear off for a long, long time.
The matrons have done all they can to pre
vent thievery, but there are so many girls in
and out of the booths that it is almost impos
sible to tell who is taking the things.
Some of the girls may steal from necessity,
and some of them may steal for the fun of it.
Collecting souvenirs is a sport for many people,
and they indulge in it often. In any event, it
hardly seems that a building devoted to en
couraging sportsmanship and fair play should
be the place to indulge in petty thievery.
Unless someone's conscience begins dictating
otherwise, it seems likely that girls will con
tinue to miss things which they do not put
under lock and key. But heaven help the girl
or girls who have been stealing these things
if they ever get cau ght ! DOROTHY.
Hallowe'en or Eve of All Hal
lows is here at last Freshmen
have been waiting vainly for this
night where the lighting of bon
fire and the wandering of ghosts
and witches prevail.
It was the belief of the Druids
that on the eve of All Saint' day,
Saman, lord of death, called all the
the souls of the dead out lor the
big gathering of the year. Large
fire were built to keep away these
ghosts. In the dying ember of the
fire were placed as many small
pebbles a were persons present
The next morning the remain of
the fire were Inspected and If any
pebble had been displaced, the per
son represented by that pebble
waa to die within the next twelve
months.
In medieval England the roast
ing of nut and eating of fruits
became extremely popular. This
practice has been carried down to
the present day. At present how
ever, games have somewhat taken
the place of the nut-roasting.
UPPERCLASS GROUP
MAKES STUDY OF
WORLD RELIGIONS
Upperclasa commission, con
ducted by Ruth Roberts, meets
every Tuesday at four o clock at
Ellen Smith hall. The group is now
nrmtea to twenty-live members,
but any girl wishing to join may
sign a tentative list at Ellen
Smith and if an old member drops
out, she may f ill her place Immedi
ately.
The group is now engaged in a
comparative study of the most im
portant world religions. Moham
medanism and Buddhism are the
topics under discussion at present.
Mohammedanism will be continued
next week.
The commission was privileged
last week in hearing Matlas Cua-
dra, a convert to Christianity,
speak of his experience as a fol
lower of Mohammedanism. The
speaker this week was Dr. Palmer
who emphasized the fact that
Christianity was necessarily a
growing religion to meet the exi
gencies of modern science and
education in each generation.
There is a library at Ellen Smith
b'.l with books concerning this
subject and they may be borrowed
at any time.

for us to make any public state
ment concerning our attitude on
smoking. While I would prefer
having girls smoke in one room set
aside for that purpose in the dor
mitories, I do not believe the state
of Kansas i ready for such a
step."
Houses Make Own Rule.
University of Michigan dormi
tories and nouses make their own
rules, which are not uniform. No
complaints have been'received.
Women on the Minnesota cam
pus are prohibited from smoking
"in university owned or approved
houses." These Include dormitories
and sororities.
University of Missouri authori
ties have never taken up the ques
tion of women smoking, but since
"it is a small minority who smoke,
we have forbidden it in the dormi
tory." "Women are not as considerate
as men about smoking. They
smoke in bed, throw cigarettes in
wastebaskets, causing fires, and
never ask If it Is objectionable."
Oklahoma Permits Smoking.
Oklahoma officials have taken
no action. Women smoke in
Union building, and in rooms as
they wish. The dean of men re
ports little If any criticism of this
laissez-faire policy of the adminis
tration. At Ohio Wesleyan university,
smoking is forbidden in women's
dormitories, and "discouraged"
elsewhere. Says the dean of
women: "Our constituency would
never stand (at present) for
smoking rooms or smoking per
mission in the dormitories. Also, I
would estimate that not more than
20 percent of our 1,000 women
smoke, even at home."
Purdue Girls Oppose.
Purdue university girls, through
their self-governing association,
went on record for "no smoking in
sorority or approved rooming
houses."
A similar rule, which "the uni
versity does not think wise to
modify," controls coed smoking at
the University of Southern Califor
nia. Regents of the University of

"The return were overwhelming

dean of women on the Wisconsin
campus.
Baylor univerlty, Waco, Texas,
absolutely prohibit coed smoking.
"I quiet well understand in saying
this," answered S. P. Brooke, pres
ident "Unit we do not see them all
the time and cannot control that
which i done in hiding."
Colorado Ha No Rule.
Unlverity at Colorado, at Boul
der, ha no definite university rule
on the question. The dean of men
report that "some sorority houses
have reserved room for smoking,
but my impression 1 that most of
them allow smoking anywhere in
the house. Some allow it only up
stairs." University of Denver, however,
report an anti-smoke rule for the
University Park campus. Accord
ing to the chancellor, "It 1 fairly
well enforced, although improve
ments could be made,"
Drake Refuse Recognition. .
Drake university, at De Moines,
ha not officially recognised the
problem of women smoking. There
la, by tradition, no smoking by
either men or women on the cam
pus. D. W, Morehouse, president
say "I doubt very much if our
faculty would recognize the uni
versality of the habit to such aa
extent a to provide smoking quar
tern for women. I realize that the
women are driven to restaurant,
cars and the street to smoke, but
even so we find it more wholesome
to respect our college buildings
and campus, and feel that our
problem is greatly lessened oy
such a stand."
Iowa State college at Ames dis
courages coed smoking. Say R.
M. Hughe, president: "While we
have not suspended girl for smok
ing, we have taken Just as strong
an attitude in the matter aa we
could."
Iowa "Doe Not Approve."
University of Iowa "doe not
approve" smoking in dormitories,
and "prohibits" it except in the
girls' rooms. "Transoms must he
closed."
University of Illinois evidently
has coed smoking, but David Kin
ley, president, writes that "I Jo
not see why "the public should
spend money on smoking rooms
any more than on drinking rooms."
A new angle is brougnt up dv
the Indiana university dean of
women, who says, "If any girls
smoke on the street they will
smoke one or two cigareta and re
turn to work. If in the house, the
tendpnry Is to enroursg" girls tn
smoke who have not formed the
habit." The girl at Indiana nave
voted not to moke In their house.
K-Aggles Prohibit Practice.
At Kansa Agricultural college,
smoking is prohibited on the cam
pus. In dormitories, the same rule
applies, but sororltie decide for
themselves. All but three voted not
to permit amoklng.

At the University of Wisconsin,

women's dormitories, one of which
is not fireproof. In the other, a
