Frank Muagrav Its efforts are sincere in its fight against al war. When people come to realize that the ideals for which their forefather fought am died arc in reality selfish motives and not humanitarian impulses, a great step will have been tnkeu toward universal peace. In answer to an American the Nebraskan can onlv give the old familiar argument against ail such arguments. You are fallacious, American, your fallacy is that of argumentuni ad hominuni. You are arguing the man and not the issue. On the other band, The Ne brasknu is not all certaiu that the American people ate any greater than any other peoples Your patriotic reference to Old Glory was a fitting touch but no aspersions were, east at that flag. .Patriotism has been effectively tin wrapped from its flimsy covering by Mr. II. (I Wells in his "Air. Blettsworthy on Hamjmlc Island." Those who are fortune enough to read that book will no longer believe that flag- waving is true patriotism. Patriotism is rather the defense of the people from nil difficulties and not only those of wars brought about by selfish money urnbbcrs. This is the idea which The Nebraskan was attempting to bring out. Sher man s maxim has always been the same, and today it means the same. "War is still hell. Anti Climax. Consideration of the athletic board project . by the athletic board of control itself is the next step in the proposed plan t' seat two students with that body. The .Student, council committee presented its ease to the Board of Regents Saturday afternoon, but the Kegents decided not to act upon it until after a report on the plan's feasibility had been 'obtained from the athletic board. The athletic board last, year was opposed to the plan of placing student's on the group. The sentiment this year has changed a liltle, according to interviews obtained from a few of the members of that organization. The general consensus seems to be. that students should have a voice in Hieir athletics. Students believe this as evinced by their 8fi4 to ."5 vote in favor of representation, some faculty niem ltbers believe it as evinced by favorable state ments to the press. Now it remains to show tli' Hoard of Jicgcnts the worth of the project. The athletic board of control as it now stands is not in a position to obtain the student viewpoint which The Daily Nebraskan and the Student council believes would be of great benefit to 1 lie athletic policy of the University of Nebraska. Anything further said of the plan and of the work carried on would be repetition. The project still hangs fire. The Daily Nebraskan can only pray that, the; llistorv association meets in convention and announces that "many students are expected to attend. i call, students are so interested in education. Cadets think they're hard-worked. Dental students drill every day. Shucks Let There Be Music. The breach of contract so recently carried out by the M. C. A. in regard to the music for the Student-Alumni party May 5 is one more of numerous incidents of this character palmed off on Nebraska students as legitimate business. With a contract for a renowned national hand in his pocket and the guarantee posted. William MeGaffin, chairman of the party, believed himself to have the beginnings of n great party. Then without a warning, the M. C. A. writes that the orchestra will be unnble to play and that we have to accept a substitution. This the committee refused to do, remembering the debacle which opened the formal season. In stead the committee booked a local orchestra which is well known and of which there can bi no doubt as to quality. The fact remains that for some reason Nebraska is on the-outside when it, comes to legal dealings with booking houses and orchestras, .hist why this should be cannot be ascertained. Kverytiine that a national band has played in Lincoln it has received the finest appreciation and yet some do not wish to play here. it is notoriously true that orchestras and booking houses are difficult to deal with and a consequent reluctance to do so is growing up. The orchestras and the booking houses may be athletic board does not put. off this considers- approaching a position where they are cutting lion too long, that it do it at its next meeting. their own tiiroats. It can only ask the Hoard of Hegents to con-1 ; ; sider the athletic board's recommendation. Official college "days" are next Friday, whatever it may be, at its earliest convenience. Then there will be picnics, baseball, stiff joints. j food, sit e and transportation committees and i sunburn. Jt's great to.be a college student. lEEJOTENTION a Carlson and Sandahl Give Talks at Convention , At Ong. 406 ARE ENROLLED HERE Successful Conference. Success crowned the efforts of the Student council with the close of its first Big Six Student council conference here Saturday. Three schools sent representatives to the con clave and a complete discussion of the pro posed program was held. Delegates declared following the conference that they had re ceived many good ideas which they intended . to carry back to their own organizations. Political problems and the problems of sine- . cure offices were universal difficulties. Class organization was at a low ebb and class officers were almost without exception noted as "honorary" positions. The determination of the local council to abolish the two lower class offices was strengthened by the discus sion at the conference. A new experiment at Iowa received much attention. This was the division of Barb groups into wards with intra mural athletic rights. The political actions of those groups are not effeclive according to tin; Iowa delegates, but the beginnings of or ganization are there and the experiment will be watched with interest. Complete discussion of all topics aided all the delegates with their school problems and at the dose of the conference all of them dc- -clared that, another such should be held an nually or at least, bienially. If the prevailing cool weather continues until Thursday we suggest that the planting of the Ivy be held in the greenhouse. MORNING MAIL The manner in which the University of Kan sas campus political factions spend money in heir campaign, as revealed Saturday at the Bis Six student council conference, seems to indicate that the Jayhawkers take their poli tics almost as seriouslv as their basketball. Human Lives And Dollars. Two Morning Mail contributors take issue with The Daily Nebraskan 's recent editorial on the subject of Why War? Albert King de clares that a sane and true picture of history was not taken in writing the editorial. An American derides the. writer as an anarchist. King cites an incident which occurred on this campus during the Spanish-American war in which he attempts to prove that the people did want to free the Cubans and that they really did have humanitarian motives at heart. American legislative and political leaders have always been notorious in their successful efforts to gain followers. The American people are always willing to follow. Much credit is due those leaders because they seldom allowed the people to know that they were following. In this war as in all of them the leaders so cleverly obscured the real dollars and cents issues that the American people really believed that they were fighting for high ideals. There can be no doubt that America opposes war. The fact remains that they will continue to fight them so long as clever leaders con tinue to disguise the issues under robes of "humanitarian impulses. Never has a war been fought in which the element of the dollar was not foremost in the minds of the promoters. But that principle was usually successfully hidden by the leaders. The Daily Nebraskan is irrevocably opposed to war. In its attempts to show the hideous fallacies of war it sometimes overdoes itself. Right or Wrong. TO THE KHJTOK: The tirade that your sarcastic penhand was wont to raise on the subject of the motives of American wars was not only N. G. in respect to value but also unAiuericau and false. You use the same argument as the Bolshevik. You flourish the pen like the anarchist. You have not only strayed from the field of truth; you have also entered into the realms of insubordi nation to the I'nited States government and tossed to the winds the policies and honor of Washington. Lincoln, Wilson and others. Granted that the dollar was insolvent more or less in all wars and that greed and expansion entered also therein. But to claim any one or combination of these as the. primary motive of an American Avar is to trespass on the moral sanctitv of our count rv and to trample under the dust the folds of Old Glory! AN AMERICAN. More on Principles. TO THE KDITOK: I notice in your columns of Wednesday an answer to the scholarship of our guest speaker, Colonel Blaynoy, ami the expression of an agreement in sentiment with the view of the contributor, K. K. To disprove the contention you and your contributor attempt, to prove would require columns unending, and would find the learning of us both sadly lacking. May I recall an incident in our University at the time of the Spanish-American wai In conference with one of the professors who was on the campus at the time I have had de scribed to me a convocation in which two members of the history department were to speak on questions pertaining to the war issue. 1 am told of the roaring chant coming from the students who packed the auditorium to overflowing, and the chant was, "We want Cuba liber, we want Cuba liber", each syllable emphasized with the unannmous stamp of their feet. Our library reveals that this time the news papers of neither .Hearst or Pulitzer were re ceived. Can this spirit have been fanned into life by these propagandists of motives non humanitarian? " Is this evidence of a strictly provincial Nebraskan attitude, or is it not in dicative of more representative national opinion? Are we entitled to make such blanket assumptions indicting the policy of our national government in its relationship to war? We debate Compulsory Military Training, we examine the periodicals for news of dis armament, and we study the problems of World Peace. Can we expect ever to realize these ideals unless we look sanely at the legacy of history in its true perspective and accord to each of the factors involved, the relative value which examination of the evidence proves it deserves? ALBERT F. KING. Attention was focused on the University of Nebraska Friday and Saturday at the Nebraska Augus tana Lutheran convention at Ong, according to a special dispatch re ceived by The Daily Nebraskan. Reinhold Carlson, Des Moines, la., graduate student and Lutheran student secretary, submitted a re port of the activities of Lutherans on the Nebraska campus. Cliff F. Sandahl, former editor of The Daily Nebraskan and now Lincoln staff correspondent for The Omaha Bee-News, in an ad dress Saturday afternoon urged the churches to procure University of Nebraska executives and fac ulty members as speakers. "There Is no place where tne need for missionary effort rests more heavily on the church than In the large state educational centers," Carlson stated in his rjport. "The Lutheran church has realized this and Is trying to meet the need at the Univer sity of Nebraska." The total number of Lutheran students enrolled In the university this year has been 406, tne secre tary said. Of these about 125 are Missouri synod and other synodical conference branches, cared for by the Missouri synod university pas tor. a full-time' man. Of the remainder, the estimated proportion, Carlson brought out, is as follows: Nebraska synou ana other English United Lutherans, 130: Aueustana synod, 65: Ger man Nebraska synod, 30: United Danish, 25; Iowa synod, 10; mis cellaneous, 21. Co-Operative Body. "The committee for Lutheran student work," he asserted, "en deavors to take care of these. This is a co-operative body rep resenting the Nebraska and Ger man Nebraska synods of the United Lutheran church; the Augu.stana synod and the United Danish church. "Its aim is to keep the young people of the Lutheran church loyal and in touch with the church and its work. For this purpose the committee employes a student secretary on the basis of a graduate fellowship." The work of the student secre tary is three-fold, he said: 1. Responsibilities to students. 2. Responsibilities to the churches. 3. Responsibilties as a repre sentative of the Federation of Religious Workers on the Ne braska campus, co-operating in their activities. "The secretary counsels and helps to direct the activities of the Lutheran club," he said. "Monthly meetings have been held to serve a constructive as well as a social function. Each time an interesting subject by a competert speaker has been pre sented. Form Contacts. "The secretary tries to form direct personal contact and ac quaintance with the students. The claims of the church are represented, and the obligations to the church of their member ship are emphasized. In general, he acts as a friend and counsel lor to the students." Carlson cited the southwest re gional conference of the Lutheran Students' association, held here Feb. .19 to 21, as one of the activi ties of the school year. "According to the retiring president of the region," he said, "this convention was by far the most successful thus far experi enced by our section of the asso ciation." Speakers who have appeared be fore the Lutheran club meetings include Dr. C. P. Harry; Dr. Joseph Alexis, professor of Span ish; Dr. L. C. Wlmberly, editor of the Prairie Schooner; Dr. William Werkmeister, professor of philos ophy, and Prof. G. D. Swezey, chairman of the department of astronomy. Average attendance was 75, he reported.

GREEK YODELERS BEGIN WORK FOR IVY DAY CONTEST "In the springtime little birds begin to sing." And likewise the campus emits a few harmonious notes. Not only from the open windows of the school of music, but from the privacy of fraternity and sorority houses come obvious efforts to "get together" on high. ivy day, with jts tabulation of sorority and fraternity sings, looms ahead with horrible proxi mity. In the warm flush of en thusiasm nearly every Greek group responded to the call to yoddle two numbers which passionately de claim the honor of their house. Now that a little practice has shown up the weaker members, de spair is in their midst. First came the sounding out process by which all members were classified as to high, higher and highest or vice versa. Next the awful agony of choosing a song with a range narrow enough that it could be traversed easily by all members and with a harmony that would please. Following this all members were required to, but never did, appear at regular inter vals and try the tunes. Negligent groups, hearing notes emerge from neighboring houses, begin frantic work on their own songs and the practice for the sing begins. Up to date all work has been done Indoors but it will be only a matter of a few days until won dering pedestrians will behold a line of solemn Greeks emerge from their house and form a mel ancholy line while one member takes the position of yell leader and movf-s out in the foreground Then tie harmonies ofsueka practlcejiill Jrv.! uicii way into the open air and the real turmoil will begin.

TAXES WORRHAROLINIANS High Levies Force Greeks to Sell Houses for One Dollar. CHAPEL HILL, N. C Because of the high taxes levied on frater nity houses at the University of North Carolina some of the houses have been unable to keep tbem paid. Several of the fraternities received notice that unless their delinquent taxes were paid, the property would be advertised for sale. As a result a plan has been sponhored to have the university buy the houses at the minimum price of $1 and thus exempt them from taxes. The sponsors of this plan claim that it would cost the state considerable money to build dormitories to house students who now live In fraternity houses, and therefore the houses have helped solve the housing plan and should receive some recognition for it.
