It Goes Deeper
Than Special Trains.
Nebraska students who rattled tu.Lawroucc.
and back on the Kansas bpecial have returned
with weird tales about the trip. Segregation
of men and women on the train was an im
possibility, as might have been expected, and
some Cornhuskers are up in arms about the
mess. ,
The Nebraskan made no bones about its
opinion of the segregation decree set down by
the administration. We considered it foolish
and developments have confirmed aud justi
fied our stand. Perhaps this trip was little
different from most football excursions, but it
is resented by a large part of the student body.
We do not mean to raise a blood-curdling
-ry for more student freedom. Our ambition
is to see discipline tempered with reason and
understanding. That these qualities were
sadly lacking in the segregation ruling is too
apparent to justify comment.
Football specials will always present a prob
I em to collegiate administrations. We recog
nize this fact and offer our sympathies to those
who must attempt to regulate the howling mob.
But the administration did not demonstrate its
capability to deal with student problems in this
ease. It failed, as it has failed before. There
comes a time when sympathy gives way to
distrust. . ,.11.
It is not this special tram conduct alone that
chills the student perception. If affairs were
running smoothly in other lines, little would
l.e said about the excursiou. Other matters
a to in such an unorganized condition, however,
that interested students are simply waiting for
a match to touch off the oil-soaked mass.
.Morning Mail contains two letters regarding
the special train and its alleged control. T.
W. 1. is wrathful because his date was spirited
away from his and shoved into an overcrowded
car. He wonders if the University of Ne
braska is a coeducational school; and what
attempt is made to chaperon the auto parties
which tour to and from games. Liberator is
really alarmed about the situation and criti
cizes the administration in no uncertain lan
guage. Something is brewing on this campus. A
feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction is appar
ent to one who is in contact with student
groups. The majority is so steeped in the im
portance of its own selfish existence that a
minority is wondering what will emerge from
the hodge-podge. We are interested in this
minority, for it will be the savior of student
spirit if it acts.
Ignoring the special train business, we find
many evidences of campus nervousness. A
few groups are gazing blindly about them, try
ing to see light in one direction or another.
Activities are limping along under the burden
of a languid student body. The stage is set
for a development of significant proportions
and we hope that the movement will not burst
in a destructive manner.
Tomorrow the student council will consider
its new constitution. That vague body must
'realize that the future of this institution's stu
dent support is dangling by a few threads.
Some may guffaw at The Nebraskan 's con
cern over present conditions on this campus.
It is not, however, a laughing matter. WThen a
student body of 7,000 students is existing with
out any form of self-government, dissension is
inevitable.
Rational students do not want more freedom.
Many would be content with much less, if they
foU that their reDresentatives had a hand in
the enactment of disciplinary legislation. Does
the faculty realize this:

student newspaper.
What Student
Are Thinking About.
Many student letters reach The Daily Ne
braskan office each day. Some of these' are
printed in their entirety, but a stack accumu
lates beyond the available space. We are pub
lishing excerpts from some of these to illus
trate the lines along which some interested
students are thinking.

TO TIIK K 1)1 TOR:
It was my pleasure, the pleasure that I've
long looked for, Friday morning when 1 picked
up The Daily Nebraskan and read the leading
editorial linked with Ihe student opinion
offered by N. U. In fact, that pleasure was
greatly increased when 1 witnessed the gasps
of certain " narrow-minded, " "kow-towing"
individuals who would rather take issue with
mother nature than to dispute the word of the
university administration.
Nebraska, proud of her athletic prowess, can
certainly never boast of her student govern
ment. A Student council, which admits to the
members that it is bound and gagged by the
"faculty committee on student aifairs" and a
senior honorary, composed of thirteen men who
express the sincere beliefs of the student body,
and yet who receive iio encouragement from
any source except the athletic department, are
the most representative bodies of student gov
ernment. Representative only in the sense that
they voice the opinion of ihe students, these
organizations are shackled by a dean who con
sistently "passes the buck" and a dean of
women who could find evil intentions in the
Christmas visit of Santa Claus.
To the editor of The Daily Nebraskan who
publishes boldly his honest convictions goes
my support. In my years of being a loyal
Cornhusker I've heretofore never witnessed
such frankness. Previous Nebraskan editors
of my acquaintance have feared the admin
istration as a mighty demon and spent their
columns praising them for their abilities to
sponsor Y. M. C. A. drives (worthy cause)-and
paid little attention purposely to the way in
which mui and women, right thinking men
and women, wen- being treated like inmates
aud followers of the great evil "Temptation."
The criticism may arise as to the use of the
Rag's editorial columns, many thinking that
they should be turned over to general discus
sions of prohibition and women suffrage. How
ever, the -editor of The Nebraskan can do no
better than to deal fairly with local issues, ho
kind that have been sweetened with praise lor
the administration and passed off as "had to
be" by Ihe neutral editors.
Perhaps if student government, roprcsentn
tive with members of the faculty oiitaile. I or
their "futherly judgment." were given a Iit1l;
rope, this government would not "hang ilsell
as administrative moguls would have us be
lieve, but would aid in the government u an
enormous student body that would not bring
down the everlasting condemnation hi'h "'
exists.
No university can operate its government
without the aid of faculty, a rather inevitable
source of consternation, but. a "brond-mindod
faculty dealing with students as if they wen
humane, and mature - thinking individuals,
might accomplish a great deal more than is
being done on this ram pus.

Wehraskan Discussion.
TO THE EDITOR : . .
The latest question discussed in Ihe editorial
columns of The Daily Nebraskan was the ques
tion as to whether or not coeds should smoke
in sorority houses, or confine their efforts to
coffee shops and automobiles. Another ques
tion concerned green-caps. Last year it was
necking.
Why must, a college paper confine its edi
torial comment to euch questions? The issues
that have appeared in The Daily Nebraskan
during the past two years have not been even
slightly vital to the university. If the univer
sity has nothing but trivial issues, why not
have student comment on something else, state
or national issues, the prohibition question?
Why shouldn't the sludonls become ac
quainted, as they would have to become to
write editorials, with national and state prob
lems? The nation surely needs such acquaint
anceship on the part of its citizens. Why
should students be confined to questions which
are so little and trivial as to bo either disgust
ing or funny? The present editorials appear
ing in The Daily Nebraskan are nothing but
grammar exercises. .1. (!. R.

I'm sure that no one would object.
But to make it at this time may
cause tome hnrd feelings,"
Young, K- ;ter Agree.
Gcoibo (Dutch) Koater and Rob
ert (ttedl Young felt much tha
fa me about tho change. Koater de
clared that he favored the rule,
but that It was hardly Just to
make it effective for the present
aeason. Young pointed to the fact
that a similar nyBtem prevails at
Northwestern, and that It Is well
liked there. Like other members
of the squad, however, he felt that
It was hardly fair to make it ef
fective at tiie present time.
The only reason seen by any of
the members interviewed for mak
ing the change effective this pea
son was ihe possible desire on tho
part of members oi the coaching
staff to keep those men who hive
"mnde their letter" from slacking
up, and to keep them fighting for

Director Gish Monday said that
the major letter would be the pres

resemble the present rifle team

difference in the award," as he
phrased it, which is being worked

MORNING MAIL
4 Administrative Orders
TO THE EDITOR:
Is this a coeducational school, or an old
maids' institute? We began to wonder when
chaperons came through the K. U. special train
on the return trip and eyed us suspiciously
as we settled into the available seats with our
.io-.c Wo wore, still wondering ' when she
herded the girls to the rear cars, leaving us
dateless. We began to nave more aeinme su-t.-tion
u-e fminrl imt. that there were not
JJ1 V. iVMin ii mi - '
enough seats for all the women in the three
rear coaches, and that tne gins were uvmis
cAiit Vmilr rpirHfdb'KR.
We were convinced when the chaperons
asked to see identification cards ot some oi me
ffirls who refused to leave good seats for none
t 11 "to tirotect their honor." Really, you
know, we had no intentions of "attacking
hn o-irla And wo were too tired, even if wi
had had such intentions. Another thing, day
coach chairs, with arms between, offer major
difficulties to the even milder forms of fannli
aritv. It would have been uncomfortable work

w.Tt nn tho Tii-nornm came renuosts tor men
to evacuate the cars immediately preceding
the three rear cars. The men, witn gooa seius

Harper and Professor Schramm, ana ihibiij

in the narrow, cramped vestibule benches. The
train remained in confusion for at least an

Hence the girls need not be forced to safety
in private colls. Thus, perhaps, the problem
will be solved. . , ,
Has the administration lost us sanity, wo
our friends and guardian angels realize the
minimum opportunity for misconduct ou a
chair train? Do they think the hundreds of
mixed couples who traveled by automobiles are
guarded by a special providence? Do they
think that couples with "misconduct on the
mind" will pick a chair car on a crowded
train, instead of a private automobile, with all
its manifest advantages?
Krank'y, we think the administration made
a thorough mess of its plans. We know for
certain that most of those on the train will
never again travel by special. And we know
that the return trip was made a miserable one
for all concerned, all through misguided if
forts. Why is it, dear editor, that the gods of
the faculty go absolutely crazy over things like
this, and pay absolutely no attention to the
thousand and one beneficial and constructive
