Play Your
Records.
The approaching of Ivy day and the ncaring
of the spring elections bring to mind the fact
that for the activity people the college year
is almost at a close. The spring elections will
put a new Student council into power. The
ceremonies Thursday will place new senior stu
dents in the Innocents society and the Mortar
Boards. All the other organizations on the
campus will have changed or have already
changed to build up lor next year. A survey
of their records for the year past is in order.
Innocents Society Aside from the usual
services which the senior men's group has per
formed, those services which the society is
called upon each year to do, that group added
several tasks to its list. This year for the first
time the Innocents aided in putting two new
campus wide parties on the party calendar.
One, the Homecoming party, instituted this
year on Homecoming evening, drew some 1.000
students ajid alumni. The next the Ivy day
party which the Innocents are promoting with
the aid of the Alumni association and the
Mortar Boards. The Innocents also submitted
$300 to the student loan fund for a new loan.
A new policy in the selection of cheer leaders
which will take at least two more years to
work out will assure Nebraska of well schooled
and efficient yell kings. The realignment of
politics on the campus came as a result of an
investigation begun by the Innocents society.
Mortar Boards The senior women's hono
rary hurled the campus out of its usual leth
argy with its announcement of the Leap Year
party and the selection of the most popular
man. The party was a huge success but the
Mortar Boards pulled a fast one and pre
sented Ray Ramsay as their popularity king.
They also sponsored a scholarship tea. The
names or all junior and senior women with
averages of over 80 were published and they
were invited to the tea.- About 2.0 women
were present at the affair which Mortar Board
expects to make an annual affair. They con
tinued with their sponsorship of Alpha Lambda
Delta and are assisting with the Ivy day party,
Student Council The student legislative
group was acting this year for the first time
under the new constitution drafted last year.
The power which accrues to the council under
this new document makes the body the central
governing board of the student body. Routine
elections and work have all been cared for and
it also began the consideration of the local
orchestra situation which resulted in a lower--rg
of prices for parties. They also succeeded
in adjudicating a dispute between the Kosniet
Klub and the Law college over the Nebraska
sweetheart. The conference of Student council
delegates from Big Six schools held here Sat
urday was another achievement of the local
group. Al.so accomplished was an organiza
tion of Barbs for the purpose of getting more
Barb representation in student activities. A
request for two student members to be seated
on the athletic board of control is now under
the consideration of the Board of Regents.
A. W. S. Board A new system of date slips
and means of checking them was the prime
new task worked out this year. A revised point
system was arranged and more strict enforce
ment of the system was carried out. The
fashion review and the election of the best
dressed girl was also an innovation.
Interfraternity Council Work accomplished
on lowering of orchestra and ballroom prices.
Otherwise nothing.

every sport for women.

looking toward a national organization of

Daily Nebniskan No record yet. Maybe
something will happen before the end of the
year.
Public
Execution.
Two heads will probably be lopped off when
the matter of lower class presidents comes be
fore the Student council for final action today.
What to do with the four outstanding po
litical plums among student offices has been
one of the problems confronting the council
this year. At present none of the four have
sufficient duties to justify their existence,
Recently a committee was appointed to in
vestigate and recommend to the council.
There were two alternatives: The class presi
dents could be abolished or they could be en
dowed with sufficient duties to warrant their
continuance. The committee's report was a
combination of these two. The junior and
senior presidents were to be retained. For
duties the senior president was to continue his
part of the ivy planting ceremony, have charge
of the senior graduation invitations and, in
addition, act as a contact point between stu
dents and alumni. The junior president re
tained his important position in the ivy rite
and, to justify the. honor, was to be president
of the junior-senior prom committee. This in
theory would give the two upper class presi
dents more to do than get their pictures in the
Cornhusker.
As for the freshman and sophomore class
presidents, they were to be abolished for lack
of anything to do.
The council, in acting on the committee's
recommendation, however, accepted only that
applying to junior and senior presidents, post
poning action on the other two until after the
Big Six student council conference at which it
was to be determined what other schools
found for their freshman and sophomore presi
dents to do.
Saturday the conference met. The other
schools reported about the same condition
which exists here. The council in its previou
action had implied that the sophomore and
freshman presidencies would go by the board
unless something turned up in the conference,
It did not. Today the matter comes before the
council again. It the council was ever seriou
in its investigation, there is nothing to do but
lop a couple of heads.
Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta and Beta

Miami unlverilty, Oxford, O,
was the birthplace of three well
known national fraternities, name
ly Sigma Chi, Fhl DeltaTheta
and Beta Theta Pf. They com
monly go under the name of the
"Miami Triad." Of these three
fraternities Alpha Epsilon chapter
of Sigma Chi is the oldest contin
uous fraternity at the University
of Nebraska while Phi Delta The
ta Is the first fraternity to be es
tablished on the Nebrsska campus,
The local chapter of Sis-ma Cht
was installed Jan. 12, 1883, while
the national organization, consist

Its founding to June zs, IBM.
The founding of Sigma Chi was
the result of a revolt of its seven
founders against the existing con

them in operation In the four fra

The Miami house Is a memorial
to the founders of the fraternity.
An endowment fund for the build
ing of chapter houses was estab
lished In 1897.
Of special Interest is the organl
ratlon in 1864 of the celebrated
Constantine chapter, probably the
most unique fraternal group ever
gathered together, and one un
paralleled in the history of any
fraternity. It was composed of
seven Sigma Chi serving In the
Confederate army, and had as its
purpose the perpetuation of the
fraternity In the south during the
most Intense period of the war.
Nationally prominent Sigma Chit
are: Harry S. New, former post
master general of the United
States; Booth Tarkington, novel
ist; George Ade, Fontaine Fox,
Fieldolng H. Yost, John McCutch
eon, the DuPonta and John M.
Studebaker, Jr. Prominent loral
alumni are: Harry D. Landis, W.
E. Hardy. Dr. G. E. Condra, O. J.
Fee, Judge Shepard, Harry Grain
ger and Edward O'Shea.
Phi Delta Her In 187S.
Alpha chapter of Phi Delta The
ta was Installed In 1875. At that
time neither faculty members nor
student were favorable to f rater
nlties, and the following year it
chose to run sub rosa until 1883.
In that year It began to run openly
under faculty recognition and has
continued so until toe present time.
The national organization was
founded Dec. 26, 1848. Expansion
was contemplated bv the founders,
and since that time the growth of
the fraternity has been steady un
til now it reaches the total of 106
chapters.
Prominent national members of
the fraternity are: Frank Crumit,
radio singer; Grantland Rice,
sportsman; Chick Evans, golfer
Harold ituel and Lou Genrtg, base
ball players; W. C. Johnson, car
toonlst of The Saturday Evening
Post; Will Haya, motion picture
executive; J. C. Reynolds, Justice

editor of Colliers, and Judge J. H,
Wilkerson.
Scholastic
Recognition.
In the name of high scholarship, the annua
honors convocation will he held tonight in the
coliseum to.. honor several hundred Nebraska
students for distinctive achievement in the
scholastic field.
The honors convocation in its scope rivals.
some say surpasses, ivy ciav. its meaning is
broader and; its significance is great. But each
is a recognition for achievement. The people
wno are honored on Jvy day will be selected
for their interest and their strivings in the
field of activities. Their achievements will all
come into consideration, indeed even their
scholastic achievements. Those honored to
night will be selected for their achievements
scholastic only. But they will have earned it.
The honors convocation serves the purnbse
of turning the student viewpoint toward the
academic side of student life. True, students
do grapple with classes each day, and in the
evenings struggle with a few textbooks. But
seldom do they turn unanimously toward
broader view of the intellectual side of school.
The motive behind the affair is worth while
even though the honor fs based on grades.
wnicn we nave long insisted are not represent
ative of true scholarship.
As it stands, the parents of students now
receive both angles of the academic life. Not
long ago the parents got only the delinquency
slips when students were down in hours. Now
they are given the opportunity of knowing
vwien a student is doing consistent v pood
work. The honors convocation is a fitting cli
