In contrast with the numerous

Walker, chairman of the rushing

"As far as I know, no flagrant

committed, and I do not anticipate
any complaints," Walker declared.
All complaints were to have been

Marvin Von Seggern, president
of the Interfraternity council,
made the following statement:
"Last year numerous complaints
were received and disposed of by
the council. This year none have
been received. This means that
fraternities either believe that K
does them no particular good to

PROLETARIAT DICTATES
Two obstacles in the way of an
intelligent criticism of the Russian
situation by a westerner, accord
ing to Prof. Harold W. Stoke, who
led the World Forum discussion
Wednesday noon, are the ever
changing conditions, and the dif
ficulty in appreciating the Russian
philosophy of government
"For probably the first time in
the history of political science, the
tremendous tasK or government
has been vested in the class pre
sumably least capable of under
standing it," declared Stoke. "The
Pncofan nvrnmpnt todav is a
dictatdrship of the proletariat,
composed or tne laDorers ana peas
ants." "It is true," he continued, "that
the conditions of this group have
been enormously improved uvei
what they endured previous to the
rnmmlin iKtic rule. However, the
question in the minds of western
critics is whether or not Wis rener
could not have been accomplished
at a lower cost. After all, the
relinquishing of individual liberties,
and ownership of property, the
weakening of the family as a social
and economic unit and the blow
dealt to religion are heavy sacri
fices for a nation to offer, for the
cause of an ideal yet in the ex
perimental stage."
The organization of labor under
the communistic plan Stoke de
scribed as virtual slavery, politely
served.
The Russian theory that might
is right, asserted the speaker, is
justified by them by the argument
that it is in support of a righteous
cause.

Miss McGahey Says Changed
Addresses Must Be
Indicated.
MANY CARDS INCORRECT
Announcement Also Reminds
Unremoved Condition
Means Failure.
All students who have changed
iheir addresses since registering
are asked by Florence McGahey,
registrar, to make the change on
their cards in the registrar's office
accordingly.
Miss McGahey, in making this
reouest, declared that a great
number of letters and other types
of correspondence are delivered to
the office, of which she is in
charge, after it has failed to be
delivered to the proper place. Since
many incorrect addresses are on
record it is necessary to return
these mails to the postof flee.
"If students, whose present ad
dresses differ from those now on
record in the office, will come in at
their first opportunity and correct
this address, it will prevent a lot
of mail from being returned which
could otherwise be conveniently
forwarded," Miss McGahey said.
Explains New Rule.
She also stated that all students
who are checked with conditions
must remove them before the end
of the first semester or a failure
will be substituted, according to a
new ruling passed last spring by
the university senate. It is now go
ing into effect for the first time.
The rule as it will be enforced
from now on reads:
"A student who is conditioned in
a subject must remove the condi
tion by the end of the first semes
ter in which that subject is again
offered or it becomes a failure."
Before the senate acted upon
this new ruling, the department in
which the condition was given had
the option of extending time if It
so desired. According to the new
interpretation placed by the sen
ate, the rule is a "hard and fast"
one and no such option is granted
to the department.

Corn Cobs Will Distribute
Placards to Cars on
Campus Today.
Slogan cards for the Oklahoma
game Saturday will be distributed
to all cars on the campus by ths
Corn Cobs today. Smaller cards
than ordinarily used have been
adopted this time and will be slit
to fit over door handles instead of
being placed in radiators as be
fore. The cards will be nine by seven
inches, printed in red on white,
and carry the slogan "Boom The
Sooners." Twice as many cards
have been printed as last time, ac
cording to Boyd Von Seggern who
with William McGaffin is in
charge of game slogans for the
Innocents.
The reason for the change from
radiator to door cards, explains
Von Seggern, is to avoid violation
of a city ordinance prohibiting amy
sort of placards in cars which will
interfere with the driver's vision.

Committee to Investigate
Editor's Idea.
MIGRATIONS DISCUSSED
Huber Named Chairman of
Group "For Student
Union Building."
Requesting that the student
council appoint a committee to in
vestigate student and faculty opin
ion relative to the proposed Hard
Times day, Boyd Von Seggern,
editor of the Daily Nebraskan,
presented his plan at the council
meeting last night for considera
tion. "My Idea In proposing such an
event Is to help the students real
ize the necessity of slashing their
expenses for parties. I have been
advocating this matter in the
Daily Nebraskan," Von Seggern
declared, "and I would like to have
the student council investigate th
reaction to this plan.
"It is the opinion of the admin
istrative heads of the university
that such a day would be classed
as a rally, and as such it comes
under the jurisdiction of the stu
dent council." Von Seggern added.'
Von Seggern told the council
that similar programs had been
carried on by other universities
with great success. He said it was
not nia luea lu emauuau iaui-

further his program of cutting
down on organization expenses for
social events.

by the members of the council, ;

council, announced that he would
acooint a committee to investigate '
the matter and report at the next

President Faulkner told the
council that with two possible stu

the new constitution of the stu
dent council, it has charge of all .
such migrations.
It was announced that organi

EDITOR URGES POLICY
Lawrence Says Wheat
States Eventually Turn to
Other Crops.
LAWRENCE. Kas., O't. 7. The
new responsibility of the Ameri
can press is to interpret news in
terms of sound economics, editors
of Kansas at their annual round
table conference at the University
of Kansas were told last week by
J. E. Lawrence, editor of the Lin-'
coin Star.
"Our newspapers are filled with
tragedy and crime, but they do not
know how to lead their commun
ity in sound economic advance
ment." he said. "The Minneapolis
Journal, I believe, is a lone exam
ple of a newspaper that really has
a constructive program for its re
gion. Through its efforts, the
farmers of Minnesota, the Dakotas
and Montana have ben led into
diversified farming, with the re
sult that the agricultural product
of those states have increased in
value three-quarters of a billion
dollars.
"What has happened in these
states will happen in others, for it
is the history of every great wheat
producing state that sooner or
later it turns to other fields of en
deavor. In 1550 New York was the
banner wheat ktate; in 1918 it was
Minnesota, and this year the state
of Kansas produced more than
one-third of all the wheat needed
for the domestic consumption in
the United States.
Criticizes Farm Board.
"The trouble with the farm
board, and with too many newspa
pers," Mr. Lawrence said, "was
their failure to realize tnac me in
stinct to plant is ingrained in man,
and the instinct to add more acres
to their planting, year by year, is
almost as strong as the instinct to
get near to the soil."
The editors attended the Round
tables both morning and after
noon, discussing problems facing
the craft at this time. Prices for
job work are being shaded some
what, some said, adding that
slight reductions tn paper costs did
not justify reductions, as general
overhead continued as before.
Wages have been reduced in some
shops, and others are operating on
a five day wee basis.
Subscriptions are not being
pressed as hard as usual, other ed
itors admitted.
Advertising rates are being
maintained throughout the state,
editors reported.
