Xot one of the volunteer informers admitted
that women were more intelligent than men.
On the contrary, no one seemed convinced that
there was any marked difference in intelli
gence iiotients, in favor of either sex.
No one, too, mentioned the 80 percent aver
age required for a sorority initiation, as con
trasted with the T2 required for fraternity
membership. And this, we maintain, has some
little effect on the relative standing.
.Nsive or not, we maintain that if a raise of

Why not, then, a 75 average for initiation
into Nebraska fraternities? Much progress has
already been made in raising the deplorable
scholarship of the men's organizations by pass
ing a - ri" rule. Would a "75" be extortion
ate? If a "72" brings about immediate safety

jratcrnnies lorccs that encourage rather than

It would at least be worthy of serious discus
sion by the Interfraternity council during the

Another significant point brought out by
i ne rating sheet tor this term is the compara
tive rise in men's averages as contrasted with
the relative drop in women's trrades.
The all-sorority average, while still on top
of ihe list, is a bit lower than last term's,

Mnno mo aii-iraternity grade is much higher.
i he nil-women s average is considerably
lowvr than that of last year, while the all-

The non-sorority average took a nose dive,
compared to ine record of last year.
This means, in brief, that the averaee man
made much more progress in raising his grade
offending pledge by the scruff of the neck, or
place a well-aimed right in his midriff. But it.
also has its disadvantages. Nothing irritates
a caller more than to have someone litt the
receiver and rasp out an insolent "This is the
Row Mew House." in a manner that says,
"What in heck did you bother us for?" The
natural reaction is not very flattering to the
house.
Other delightful little habits of the pledge
include the practice of answering "I'll see if
he's in," and then retiring to the study table
and forgetting the whole affair. After fifteen
minutes of useless waiting, the caller is in no
mood to listen to a discussion of the fine qual
ities possessed by any member of the house.
Telephone courtesy is a much neglected art
in Lincoln, especially among fraternities and
sororities. A little cultivation of its possibili
ties would be good advertising for every house.
culture. It isn't all uptown. Fo:
instance within the past few vears
we nave lost and are losing such
men as A. D. Weber, Oscar SJrO'
gen and W. W. Derrick. Then there
is a hint that Harold Hedges may
leave, au or inese men are out
standing in their respective field
Sjorgen was with the agricul
lurai engincerinc- department
Nebraska and became recognized
as an authority in his department
wow ne is m California. Bigge
opportunities awaited him. Jus.
this year the college of agricultui
lost W. W. Derrick. ,He was at
traded to the extension avrvic
field. While in fhe college be was
an instructor in the animal hus
bandry department. Weber is leav
ing the animal husbandry dopart
merit lor Kansas this summer
If Harold Hedges should happen
lo leave Nebraska, we will lose one
of the outstanding rural econom
ics in the country. It is only
rumor that he mijrht leave but it
is suit that we cannot hold him
long on the present salary basis,
It is my opinion, however, that
Nebraska should not attempt to
keep pace with some of the richer
institutions in the country with
unlimited finances behind them.
Nevertheless the Cornhusker
school should be able to pay as
well as neighboring schools.
But reverting back to the animal
husbandry department. Kansas
State college has a department of
eight men. Nebraska has one with
four instructors. Now one of them
is leaving. Surely we should be
able to keep up with Kansas. Num
ber doesn't make quality but it
helps a lot and that is the reason
that Kansas has a good depart
ment. It goes without saying, how
ever, that the Nebraska depart
ment ranks with the best.
It wasn't long ago that I heard
a prominent Lincoln publisher
make the remark that he thought
the University of Nebraska should
be run on a more efficient basis.
The statement itself is trite but he
has some new ideas.
This man said he didn't see why
the school couldn't be run on a
more efficient basis. He cited the
college of agriculture In backing
his statement. There he said there
are many rooms which are not
used but at varying times. Then he
referred to the student activities
building. He said a business could
not be successful with only a por
tion of its plant in operation and
a school should be the same way.
Perhaps this man of wide ex
perience is right. But attempting
to run a school on such a basis as
a business concern seems imprac
tical. For instance the student ac
tivities building has paid for "it
self in the physical development
students have been able to make.
In regard to excess room it is im
possible to regulate the enrollment
under present conditions so that
all facilities will be running full
force at all times.
According to this publisher's
theory, it would be well to aban
don the stadium and coliseum and
other buildings because they are
not used every minute of the day.
Yet he may be right.
It is just one thing after an
other. Now several hundred visi
tors will be at the agricultural col
lege for the dairy field day late
this month. Then over four hun
dred Nebraska boys and girls will
be at the college for the annual 4
H club week in June. While they
are staying in Lincoln they will
have the opportunity of visiting
the new Plymouth Congregational
church. Wilbur Chenoweth is
scheduled to give a short organ re
cital for the club members while
a noted musician will give a con
cert on the bells.
With the barb political faction
meeting sometime this week it be
gins to look like there will be an
election here in the college of ag
riculture soon. Just what candi
dates the barbs will put n the
field for positions open in the
spring election is unknown.
Mother's day, the most sacred
day of the year, is past. But then
there will be other national days
celebrated this and every other
