Too often the primary object of rush week is to fill up the house, not to find a group of young men who will fit into the atmosphere of the frater nity. Wise Greeks, if they wish to retain the qual ities which founders inculcated in the system, will not, plunge heedlessly into an expansive building program which involves the contrac tion of awkward debts. We wonder if the big-wigs in the adminis tration building read our suggestion about coat hooks in lecture rooms. Maybe they think the warm weather will last until spring. Providing for Coming Biennium Moderate increases in appropriations for the university are requested by the board of -regents in its biennial recommendations to the legislature. These increases are the mini mum requirements for the continued progress of the University of Nebraska. Naturally The Nebraskan hopes that Charles Bryan, the newly elected governor, and the legislature will act favorably on the recommendations of the regents. At the same time it is sympathetic with those who arc clamoring for reduction of taxes especially during the period of economic depression. It is poor economy, however, for a state to permit its educational system to suffer for lack of sufficient funds. The University of Nebraska is building the foundations of a stronger future for Nebraska and for the na tion. All of the proposed $950,000 expenditure for capital improvements is needed and is al most essential if the university is to continue its service to the state. The university is ask ing for only two new buildings on the city campus, a building to replace venerable Uni versity hall and an astronomical observatory. It is asking for $200,000 to build much-needed women's dormitories. To take care of future campus expansion it is asking for $125,000 to buy campus and farm lands. The other proposed improvements are on the agricultural and medical college campuses. The need for them is just as urgent. The legislature is obliged to avoid laying -4od heavy a burden on the tax-paying public of Nebraska. Appropriation of money for the physical growth of the' University of Ne braska, we believe, will not prove too heavy a burden. Public leaders are urging every state to extend its program of public improvements to alleviate the unemployment situation, uoi of the increase asked for by the legislature will be used for new buildings. There are a number of other things the university needs but are not requested of the next legislature. Only those improvemnts and increases are sought which are essential to the university's retaining its high rating as an educational institution, Sunday shows would be terrible in Lincoln. Morally wrong, we mean! And, besides, they would interfere with necking parties, picnics and rides to Omaha. Hell Bent For Election Funny, isn't it, how many sane, normal in. dividuals go haywire when they find a steer ing wheel in their hands and an accelerator benoath their right foot. This motor-madness is prevalent among college students particu larly, though we suspect that the prevalence is not more pronounced because of personal characteristics but because of increased oppor tunities. There are a few greedy, four-flushing ind divduals who have no thought for the safety of others. These rough riders stimulate their nor mal cohorts to drive automobiles in a disgrace ful fashion. It is thrilling and breath-taking to rido with one of these dare devils as they swerve into tight places, scrape fenders, miss pedestrians by inches. It would not be funny if someone were run down and killed by these chance-taking road hogs. Death is a rather serious proposition. Manslaughter is a nasty charge. Those who roar down crowded thorough fares without observing the simplest rules of caution are inviting disaster. How unfortu nate it is that some stubborn gluttons must sec blood before they may learn. raCHERS 10 ATTEND WUe Greeks Build Small Houses Most college fraternities were founded by a group of congenial men in the dingy but im pressive atmosphere of some attic or back room. These founders recognized the value of co-operation and a spirit of brotherhood among men or. similar interests, aims ana laeuis. Since the dav upon which the first Greek- letter organization came into open existence there has been a movement to abolish sucn irrnnTM. In some collezes the anti-Greeks have I succeeded in riding down their enemies and casting the fraternity system on tno campus. In other schools the social organizations have prospered and a hierarchy of pin aristocracy has grown up. We 6ee the evils of a system which i conducive to false standards of char acter judgment, but we believe the good qual ities of fraternities outweigti the Daa. More than this, we consider their origin and develop. mnt inevitable in this nation of intricately organized and reorganized society. When one recognizes an institution as inevit able, it is not essential that he disregard any attempt to improve it. Something is off bal ance in the average fraternity and it does not injure the system to study this flaw in the organization's structure. Many recognize the presence of great problems of morality and ethical behavior in the fraternity system, but these do not arise from the system itself but fom the mere fact that young men who liva together, be it in fraternity house or Y. M. C. A,, are prone to violate conventions. This is not a malady of the Greek-letter groups, but of society as a whole. We have reference to a weakness which does not concern morality, but brotherhood the idea upon which fraternities were founded. Commercialization, in a mild but spectacular form, has wormed its way into the Grecian circles. Fraternities are showing en undeniable tendency to iacrific the precepts of congenial unity for the grand stand. They gather their alumni together and plan imposing, expensive houses, with the idea of throwing their lodge into the limelight. Once the structure has been completed, the fraternity is hounded by trust companies and alumni. It must keep up its psyments. To do this ,the brothers conspire to pledge 'urge and unwieldy Issues. They sre forced -y take cif men whom they do not consider , So the army boys are dreaming about a polo team. Maybe the university will build a swim ming pool and patch up the tennis courts be fore we go to London. "Herman Goof '08 Jump Outa My Bed!" All the boys at the Lambda Rho Rho house had a fine time over Homecoming. Several of the 'old grads drifted in Thursday night and th boys with midseniesters on Friday sat up until all hours of the night listening to them tell about the good old days. Then the old grads got in the freshmen's beds and the pledges slept downstairs on the leather daven ports and got stiff necks. Friday was a big day. A few more alumni came back and one of them stumbled over a guy wire and fell into the homecoming decora tion. It wouldn't have been hard to put them back up again if Herman Goof, '08, hadn't sat around and made smart cracks. But the old grads had a good time. That night, one of the grads entertained everyone by telling of the time when he and Brother Slupp stole the eyes out of a statue in the museum. They put lots of cigar ashes in the carpets, which is good for them. Keeps the moths out. They howled and laughed half the night, keeping everyone awake. Saturday they borrowed football tickets from the freshmen and went to the game. That night they came to the house dance and swiped most of the decorations, but everyone was glad that they had come. Which shows that there must be something practical about this brother hood racket. Chic Sales would have had a fine time at the bonfire rally. MORNING MAIL Burnett, Burr, Ferguson, Brokavv, Misses Brown and Fedde Go.

First Cornhusker Installments Due First installments on the Cornhusker for those who bought books on the dollar down plan were due Nov. 15.

C, where she will spend ten days in attending four national confer ences, including the White House conference on child health and protection, Nov. 19 to 22. Dr. Ruth Staples, head of the child devel opment division of the home eco nomics department, also received an invitation from President Hoover to this conference but will not attend.

Over 1,200 experts in the field of child life are engaged in studies for various committees of the conference. At the opening session Nov. 19. Pres ident Hoover will address the del egates. His speech will be broad cast over a national radio hookup. DR. POOL MAKES SPEECH AT CRETE Let the W. A. A. Act. TO THE EDITOR: Among the many things that university stu dents have been seeking for the school is a swimming pool. Agitation in the way of stu dent opinions, editorials anr. complaints to the athletic department has been kept up with great consistency for several years. But agita tion does not bring results quickly enough. We need some definite action. The Women's Athletic association has a comfortable source of income through its handling of concessions at football games. The revenue from these concessions has been find ing its way to worthy causes but a more ap propriate use for it would be in setting a large proportion of it aside to build a women's swimming pool aud facilities. The W. A. A. should begin a campaign im mediately for a swimming pool. It should get the entire net profits from concessions instead of paying one-fourth to the athletic depart ment. Its objective should be to secure a swimming pool for girls in two or three years. If students want things they must act as well as talk. R. J. K. COLLEGE COMMENT COLLEGE COMMENT "When I am grown to man's estate I shall be proud and, maybe, great; And hazing frosh I won't allow, But well, I'm just a freshman now. Frosh.
