Pursuing
The Noble Task.
Predecessors in this ancient game of editor
ializing have come onto the battle front with
voluminous exhilarations turned into the swill
of a formal bow, apropos. They have retired
in equal regal style, hoping to have left a few
permanent scratches on the walls of a modern
institution of learning. We follow, and with
similar hopes.
But the task is always different. What were
great problems yesterday are but insignificant
now; yes, they are probably entirely forgot
ten. Yet, those scratches remain. It is some
times difficult to tell just what they are all
about Maybe there is something to a few of
the more ghastly gouges striken into walls
impanelled with warped conceptions and mar
gined with clouds of prejudice and misunder
standing. Choosing of the more deeply en
shrowded blemishes may reveal fertile fields
of exploit in the realms of student thought.
We shall see.
The Daily Nebraskan enjoys a nationwide
reputation in-college circles for the aggressive
manner in which it treats Cornhusker campus
affairs. We shall strive toward having that
rating upheld.
.-In pursuing our course, as we attempt to
interpret the affairs which have most to do
with the well being of this institution, we shall
tindoubtedly lay bare our most profound im
pressions. They will be impressions coming
from only one editorial chair, hence they can
not always conform in even the lesser degrees
with the impressions you may receive as you
read each morning's cold, black ink.
For the purpose of recording those resulting
Impressions there will again be provided a cor
ner of the editorial page devoted to student
comment. Clear-cut, logical, and to-the-point
discussions will.be received with usual cheer.
They must be signed, of course, and the editor
reserves the right to discard any letter which
does not justify publication.
Our policies? We shall let the virtues of
"right" and "fact" become woven into a
thread that will lead us into the only true
policies which we can present. It is not diffi
cult to do or to be right; but. rather, more
difficult to remain that way. Nor is it over
exerting to portray "fact"; the extra-ordinary
feat come in sifting out that which is not
true. With this as a foundation and with stu
dent interest manifesting as the days roll on,
xnuch already will have been accomplished.
So 'we submit No. 1 of volume thirty-one.
Now, about this gangster stuff how many
rushees were put on the spot? And the co-eds
being taken for rides!
Wanted:
18,000 Strong.
Nebraska's alumni association wants 18,000
new members and is making special efforts to
procure that many. It is a drive that will
continue throughout the winter months and
hopes are that by June 1 the quota will be
filled.
Such a tremendous undertaking is interest
ing even to undergraduate1 who will be alumni
in but a few yfyiri,',The appealing part of the
program sem,S'.fo"be that these new members
are wanted intake part in activities forging
toward- betterment 'of conditions on the Corn
lTkframpui, 'r'or,' as, the alumni office cites,
"there. art) prtfWcn;B .of crowded conditions be
cause of an Inadequate building appropriation,
an increasing inability to meet the competi
tion of endowed universities in keeping and
securing a high typo of faculty group, and
many other situations now before the admin
istrators. Alumni of Nebraska, of course, nro interested
in the welfare of their Alma Mater and the
haunts of school days. They want to sec the
university prosper and grow into the mightiest
of Wucalional institutions. There is only one
way in which that interest can be turned into
material action. Organization, such as the
Alumni association has effected, is the key.
That membership in 'this organization is not
large enough to carry on work to any marked
degree has been realized and so the first move
toward gettting things done will ho to swell
the ranks. It is a swell idea.
Yet Room
For Reform.
Rushing, as regulated by the special com
mittee of the Interfraternity council is reputed
to have had considerable success now that it
has belli tried for a second year. There is,
however, one point that must be altered if the
system is to enjoy continued success.
There is nothing phenomenal in the fact that
things work smoothly during rush week at the
council's office. All that is necessary is to
obtain the name of the rushee and to record
his dates as he indicates them on a card. This
card is indexed and filed along with the sev
eral hundred that pour in during a few days
period. It is simple for the Interfraternity
council, the only task being devotion of con
siderable time to the cause of the chairman of
the rusliincr committee and his assistants.
Difficulty arises only on the part of the
rushee who docs not know what this idea of
registering dates is all about, much less what
the Interfraternity council stands for. That
compound word is a big one for the newcomer
to swallow with any degree of comprehension.
Rushees are told to send in a copy of their
dates to the council's office. All of their dates
must be in before the first one takes place.
That, in itself, is a puzzler to a young man who
immediately wonders why. Then, he wants to
know where the office is, if he has been too
late to send his cards by mail. When he gets
there he may be tongue-tied about asking ques
tions and will get things twisted. To him it
looks as though he is signing a death warrant
and he may get signed into a thing out of
which he will have to buy his way. It is espe
cially so when he discovers that any infraction
of the rules will be reckoned with at the ex
pense of the rushee, himself. Lumps may be in
his throat by that time.
Campus affairs, as a whole, are pieces of
wonderment to the new student, generally.
University life has been painted for him as
anything from the saintly to the damned. The
prospective freshman does not realize his rights
and, well, call it "bashful," if you like.
The Interfraternity council made a great
step last year in putting into effect the new
plan. A few spots must be polished in order
to enhance the value of the system. A recom
mendation is that some method be devised to
shift the task of seeing that the rushee 's dates
arc properly recorded to some person who re
alizes the responsibility and can meet it.
'Black Jack'
Visit His Home.
Tershing's own band comes to Lincoln to
day as one of the newer innovations in talent.
At the same time, the general's return to his
home town and university recnlls to many of
the older folk the days before John J. was the
famed "Black Jack."
General Pershing, now of private life, grad
uated from the University of Nebraska witth
the class of '93. His degree was that of a
bachelor of literature. Previous to that he had
graduated from the United States Military
Academy. Intensive study has brought to this
fighting Nebraskan many degrees of an hon
orary nature and his ability as an educator is
of no small consequence. As an instructor in
military tactics here he became even more in
timately connected with the university than
during his undergraduate days.
But it was after the nineteenth century had
given way to more recent years that this mili
tarist became hardened into one of the most
fanciful leaders in the United States war divi
sions. Having served in two Indian campaigns
and with the Indian scouts, he finally climbed
into service in Manchuria, the Philippines, and
in Mexico where he conducted the pursuit of
Villa. His creat achievement came in Octo
ber, 1917, when John J. Pershing became Gen
eral of the Armies of the United States.
Thus, do Lincoln and Nebraska friends re
member him as he makes one of his visits back
home. And altho it has been many years since
his class days on the campus even the newest
of students "remember" General "Black
Jack."
Professor Harbour. Fortu Years as
Nebraska Faculty Member, Recalls
Days When Cattle Traveled Campus
Prof. Kdwin II. Barbour, Ph.D.. geology department head,
may pride himself in being one of the oldest and most experi
enced instructors in the university, having been a member of its
faculty for forty years. Professor Barbour came to the uni
versity July 1, 1891, from Yalo as instructor of geology.
Barbour recalls much of the campus and its activities in its
Infancy. In 181 mere were duio
four buildings on the campus,
namely "U" hall, Nebraska hall,
now occupied by the military de
partment, r.elence ball, the main
building, and pharmacy hall. There
were no trees, vines or shrubs to
bo found.
There were no baseball, or foot
ball fields. The campus then com
prised only what in now known as
the "old campus."
In that year the state suffered
from the most severe drought it
has ever known. The university
was a scene of dust and desolation.
At that time there were three or
tour herds cf cattle In the city of
Lincoln that were driven across
the campus daily to a pasture
north of town, and returned at
night.
Professor Campflcld was elected
chancellor in that year, 1891, and
accepted the office under the con
dition that an iron fence be erected
around the university to prohibit
the abuses to which it had
formerly been subjected. Under
Campfield's administration the
university made an enormous
growth.
The enrollment, Barbour says,
was three hundred and fifty, of
which there were about two hun
dred and seventy-five genuine stu
dents. The reason for the limited
enrollment was probably due to
several facts. First, the years of
P2 'R.T "94. '85. and '96 offered no
uarvest, and second, because of the
fact that a mere general academic
course was all that was offered by
the university. The law, dtniai.
and medical schools were insti
tuted later. He does not recall any
military department, at that time.
During the dry years a quarter
of a million of people were driven
from the state upon the advice of
some of the most experienced men
of the times. Their instructions
were to plant not a plant, flower,
or brush because it wouldn't grow.
"People believed them," Barbour
said, "so it can readily be seen
against what conditions the uni
versity was striving."
In conclusion, Barbour said that
we have yet to cope with the same
grave error made by the people of
the state at the time of the build
ing of the school. People here re
gard things In terms of cost in
stead of gain received, he says.
"We cannot do this, and we can
not do that, because it costs too
much."
"A more plausible way." accord
ing to Barbour, "would be to esti
mate the ultimate gain, if such
and such a plan were pursued."
Barbour is very interested in the
students of the west, and does not
see any reason why they should be
handicapped by the more efficient
school systems of the east, but, he
says, the people of the state must
learn to regard an institution of
learning with more sincerity, and a
different plan of financing mu3t be
pursued.

SCHEDULED FOR FALL
Awards Will Be Made at
October 1 Banquet
Greek Women.
The annual Panhellcnlo banquet
is to be held Thursday, October 1,
at the university coliseum, accord
ing to tha members of the Lincoln
City Panhellenic. This event Is
the only gathering of women from
all the Greek organizations on the
campus.
Until this year, the banquet has
always been held late In spring.
Because one of the major Interests
of the Panhellenic Is the sponsor
ing of higher scholarship, it waa
deemed best to have it in the fall,
when the enthusiasm engendered
by the banquet and the meeting
can be immediately effective
among the active chapters and
thpir Hlnmnnp rather than in the
spring, with the college year so
nearly at an end.
Will Award Cups.
The Panhellenic will award cups
to all sororities in the upper third
nf thfi schnlarshlD ratine. The
sorority which has made the
greatest scholastic improvement
within the year also receives the
recognition. Last year the organi
zation established a scholarship
fund for upper class non-Borority
women.
For the first time the banquet
arrangements are being made en
tirely by the representatives of dif
ferent groups in Panhellenic. In
other years, the committees have
been composed of fraternity wo
men not directly concerned with
the general organization.
Mrs. Carpender Is Chairman.
Mrs. Gerald Carpender, Kappa
