The Age
Of Savagery.
If the present round of eollrfriiiti' batik's
ami riots continues the it must soon arise a
doubt in 1 ho minds of the ciders mid of other
collegians as to the effectiveness of the college
mind. Four well known institutions have, in
the past month been troubled with affairs of
a violent, nature. These affairs cast a spot
light of 110 beautiful colors on the universities
in question and the affairs themselves are to
be condemned.
The University of .Missouri started the
ball rolling a short time ago with the election
of a St. Patrick's iuecn for an engineers ball.
Lawyers kidnaped her. Knjrineers got even by
harassing lawyers. Lawyers came back by
shooling engineers. Three engineers were
wounded and newspapers all over the country
played the affair up.
Next the Columbia administration sus
pended Heed Harris, editor of the Columbia
Spectator, because editorials in bis paper were
not well founded. After this expulsion, col
lege papers everywhere jumped into the breach
and defended Harris. Later Columbia students
organized a mass meeting and attempted In
organize a strike until Harris should be rein
stated. Again newspapers spread the story
over their pages.
Last week a faction fight at the Univer
sity of Minnesota caused the throwing of acid
and 1hc display of brass knucks at 1 he polls.
Four students were burned by Ihe acid and the
whole affray resulted in the throwing out l
the election. Newspapers again gloried in
this story.
Last week, loo, those cultured sons of
wealth at Harvard broke loose in a small sized
niot, in which some three thousand of the east
ern scions participated. It seems a group of
freshmen shouted a Harvard war cry and thci
others, not loathe to miss an opportunity, le
"gan a riot against theatres, college dormitories.
' and law and order in general. Police dispersed!
! the mob with tear bombs and four students
';are held. Another heavenly story for the
press.
These incidents iwll 1o mind affrays nti
.Nebraska in the past few years. The most
rious of these were, it is believed, four years!
!ago when the Barb faction organized so thor-
oughlv and a serenade by this .'jnnij) Mas ihej
recipient of a flock of thrown over-ripe hm
fruit, and Ihe famous rally riot of three years
ago preceding the Kansas Aggie-Nebraska
game, when doors and windows were broken
and professors were hurt and school disrupted
for a whole day.
e
These affrays have never done any one
any good. There are those who eoiiteiid that
, Nebraska won the K-Aggie game that year.
Hut there is no way of knowing whether or not
Nebraska would not have won the irame any
way. The Columbia episode accomplished ex-
act l.v nothing. Students are again attending 1
clas .es, and Harris is si ill expelled. The .Minne- j
sota and Missouri incidents resulted in a lotal ,
of nothing achieved. Students were injured
and nothing was sett led.
Newspapers got good stories about col
leges. And colleges are always good sources of
news of the right kind. There must be no
mention of the fine work done by colleges. The
word college and the term college slud 'iit con
jure up to the averr.ge mind but one thing
scandal. And newspapers put the stories in
their columns. Accomplishment here exactly
nothing again.
Perhaps however, there is one thing done.
College newspapers the country over, The
Daily Nebraskan not excepted, constantly bat
tle against the accusations of ihe uninformed
as to the morals and sense of the college t-tu-dent.
They defend, and rightly, the college
student. The. constant and never-ceasing
criticism which is directed at colleges it is
necessary to combat because so much of it is
unfounded.
But when college students insist upon in
dulging in incidents like the above, which
surely come without thought, sufficient
thought at any rate, then those defenders of
the universities of today begin to doubt. Col
lege students are supposed to have acquired a
certain amount of maturity. They should use it.
sure that their letters will never find their way
into these columns.
The. writer of the letter in question is no
doubt sneering because we have refused to
publish the letter. Had the letter been Higncd
we would print it disregarding the number of
bad names he calls the staff and disregarding
the- unfounded accusations ho makes against
the collegiate intelligence.
To the anonymous letter writer we apolo
gize for our abysmal ignorance and beg him, as
we beg all letter writers, to sign their games
to their epistles if they expect to see thini in
print.

Ad Acir
Indoor Sports.
Attacking the Awgwan, it seems, has be
come the latest popular indoor sport. In Sun
day's paper, one (iooliek jumped with both
feet upon the humor publication, if we may
be so bold as to call it such. Mr. (iooliek di
rectly accuses the staff of the magazine of
copyinsr features from other outstanding hu
mor magazines over the country. Says he,
"Please. Mr. Awgwan Kditor. use your own
head for a while and give Vanity Fair and the
New Yorker staff brains a rest."
So this morning Mr. Av.gwnn Kditor rises
up in righteous indignation and defends the
Awgwan again. All humor magazine editors
and comedians are supposed to bo funny so
the editor of the Awgwan is funny. Probably
Mr. (jooliek will not think so but at any rate
his questions are answered and now it is some
body else's turn to attack tbe Awgwan.

It isn't often that great athletes
are known for their scholastic abil
ity in the classroom but the Col
leee of Agriculture can boast of
such men. Just last week it was
announced that Bob Ostergaard,
veteran track star, was elected to
Alpna Zeta, honorary scholastic
fraternity. However, Arthur
Maueh and Everett Kreizinger, two
Husker athletes, also belong to the
organization. It all goes to show
that not all athletes are dumbells.
The Courage
Of Anonymity.
An unsigned letter in the files takes vigor
ous issue with most of the policies of The Daily
Nebraskan, indeed, even goes so far as to say
that it dons not follow any policies. The writer
suggests publishing the policies of the paper at
the top of the column each day. He. accuses the
Nebraskan of shallowness. He does not sigu
his letter.
The Daily Nebraskan has made many
weary appeals to the effect that all letters
must be signed or they cannot be printed.
There is nothing in the letter at hand Mhich
would be libellous or particularly offensive.
Neither does it contain a great deal of thought.
Letter writers who lack the courage to stand
behind their convictions and who hide them
selves behind the cloak of anonymity may be
Ah! Goolick!
TO THK KDITOH:
Once again the Awirwnn shudders under
a staggering attack. This lime' at the hand of
an unknown assassin. Before loiig the staff w ill
be so busy explaining, dodging attacks, and
working up hot retorts that they will not have
time to put out a magazine.
This letter starts M'ith the statement that
the cover merits comment. Then to spoil a per
feely good compliment, this letter, by a cer
tain Mr. (iooliek, goes on to say. "..but the
originality of it was trifle forced. In fact 1
have seen :, cover on the New Yorker from
wlrcli it might have been directly copied ex
cept that the Nc'.v '.Yorker cover had eight girls
while the Awgwan had only three." The sis
sies! So they had eight, did they. Well. we
could have had eight too, if we wanted them
but we only wanted three. - And what's more
Mr. (iooliek. we bet our three girls were just
as chipper and pretty as the New Yorker's
eight. Since we watched the evolution of the
cover from the first stage and having never
seen the other cover referred to, we can prom
ise that our cover was a hundred percent Ne
braska product. Doubting our veracity, Mr.
(iooliek may see the sketches showing the
cover in all its stages of development if he
is interested in things of that kind.
Then, to make us feel worse he charges
that "there are many other copied features."
To support his contention he names the
'Album" and the "To Obscurity" pages. As
near as we can remember ,1he idea for the
Album page came to us in 1!)2S when we saw
tbe Cornhusker for the first time ami ivmi
dered why there was nol provision made or
an informal beauty section. At that time the
only Vanity Fair we had ever seen was in the
hands of a slick magazine salesman from the
city. So that about explodes the idea, Mr.
(iooliek. lie also states that the writeups on
hat page were "fantastically vacuous," vacu
ous meaning empty. If we said that they Mere
fantastically empty, fantastic meaning imag
inary we could say ihat they Mere imaginably
empty (if there w as such a word I and presto
they 'would be full. But seriously the people
did not need a writeup to justify their place
on that page. We only made the writeups to
provide some grey tone to the layout. And it
was a bard job making them come out right.
Other magazines w ere doing the Obscurity
idpa when Vanity Fair was still a name for
ladies' unmentionables. So we cannot give
credit to them for that.
If the Awgwan looks like the New Yorker
or any oiher quality publication it is not be
cause we are trying to ape them but because
we have mastered some of the subtlety of fine
magazine makeup. The, same rules of balance
and format which make, it as individual as two
faces, applies to the Awgwan as to all maga
zines. We hope that Mr. Goolieh will not spnid
geod evenings trying to figure out where our
ideas came from. To be frank sometimes Me
wonder ourselves about them. But Me really
do not copy things from the professional maga
zines although we have on file at least a dozen
instances where professional magazines have
redrawn eartoons which have appeared in col
lege publications and printed them after the
college comics had appeared. And wc would
be willing to bet that in half of the instances
the cartoonists had not seen the college comic
in which the idea first appeared. So you see
the human mind is a funny thing as is the ani
mal mind. The New Yorker staff does not
need a rest ; we are the ones who need the rest.
THE AWGWAN ED1TOK.
Right now the Aggies boast of
the best inter-college nine in the

i the initial game were LeDioyt, J.

opinion of Col. W. H. Oury of the
Nebraska military department.
"No one has greater right to a
respected opinion on national and
world problems than Dean Blay

graduation from Centre college,
Kentucky, he spent many years in
Europe in France, Italy, Spain and
Germany, taking the degree of
doctor of philisophy at the Uni
versity of Heidelberg, Germany.
Thru his experiences on four con
tinents Dean Blayney knew that
grave and unavoidable world re
sponsibilities necessarily fall upon
economic success, and in view of
this wrote and spoke on prepared
ness long before the Great War."
according to Professor Frankfor

the time when twenty-one de

Japan and had personal relations
with the outstanding statesmen of
both countries. He was also enter
