Message to
The Innocents
Th new society of Innocents is a I'hIp over
a week old and liiis now hud time to jret over
anv conceit- which may have attached to their
tapjiiii),'. They are about to betfin their work
for next year and they most realize that both
feet must' be on Hie ground. They uiiisr realize
that thev Hiv not honornries, they are members
of a service ffroup. They were organized in the
beginning, thirty years ago. for that jiirKse.
and they have niueli work lo do for the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
They have, above all, lo promote tltat intan
gible Homething called school spirit. That task
will always engage every Innocents society. It
always lias and always will. The work of
prompting this vague something is difficult but
vital. They must work toward the goal of uni
fication of interests in college spirit. Then,
too. they must represent Nebraska, they must
be the group which unceasingly pushes forward
for Nebraska.
Aiiot her vital portion, of their work shall
be to provide the contact between administra
tion and students. This part of their work is
important to both students and administra
tion. There is no other xssible contact be
tween the two. The Innocents society must
ever be ready to take hold of any project which
it believes to be for the good of the school.
Besides this they have eight routine tasks
to perform. They are: Freshman caps, fresh
liian initiation, football rallies, cheer-leaders,
stunt section, Homecoming decorations, home
coming party, and Dads day.
Committee appointments will be made
within the next two weeks. Immediately upon
being notified of their positions the individuals
will have to begin their labors. They must see
to arranging for their dates in the school cal
endar. They must begin to arrange for pur
chases and methods of distribution. They must
see that every tradition is carried on.
The Innocents nociety has several jobs next
year. They caunot afford to muff any of them.
At the present time they are fortunate. They
have the friendship of the administration and
of the student body as a whole. It will nt ;
pay them to lose either. j
The senior group has been criticized n great 1
deal in the last few years. Most or tins criti
cism has leen in the Dature of destructive ar
ticles written in The Daily Nebraskan. Some
of it lias been of the ''Hour grajie"' variety and
some of it has been sincere. The Innocents can
rest assured however, that ihey will not be
criticized if they keep the best inierests of the
University of Nebraska always in the foreground.
Respectful
Request. K
The proposal to place two students on the
athletic board of control Is now in the hands
of a committee of the board itBelf. This com
mittee 1b investigating the proposal and will
report to the board at the next meeting. Then
as soon as the board of regents convene again
the athletic board will report to them as per
instructions. Then the Jlegents will pass upon
it.
" The Student council and The Daily Nebras
kan have been waitiug for two years for the
culmination of this project and it is hoped at
last that the end is in sight. It is noteworthy
that no objections of note have been voiced.
The evidence of tl'ie success of the systems used
at other Bchools and the weight of the over
whelming student vote in favor of the student
representation cannot, be discarded lightly by
either group in consideration of the plan.
Students have a right to representation upon
the board which governs their athletic affairs
and not only do they have that right but those
who have studied the situation believe that the
athletic situation at Nebraska will be improved
and the officials will be better enabled to ac
complish necessary work toward athletic bet
terment. At the present time the athletic department
is considering ticket prices for next year. It
is obvious that a drastic change must lie mane.
The athletic board and those connected with
that change would be much better able to con
sider and accomplish this work' if students
were seated upou the board to state the stu
dent viewpoint sanely and surely.
The plan as advanced by the council com
mittee is believed to be foolproof. The fact
that the representatives would lte directly re
sponsible lo the Student council assures that
each of the members would have to give time
and attention lo the work or be removed.
Time is growing short for the completion of
this project. The Daily Nebraskan again re
spectfully asks the athletic 'itoard of control
to report its findings to ihe Hoard of Kegenls
at its earliest Kissible convenience and that the
Hoard of Hegetits meet within the next two
weeks 1o make their final consideration on the
matter.

Merchants
Institute.
The Merchant Institute, the first of is kind
ever to be held at the University of Nebraska,
is something new and different, and above all
successful. Approximately one-hundred and
fifty merchants from all over the slate at
tended the meetings, and heard merchants from
other towns tell of successful innovations that
had proved of lienefit to their town and its
inhabitants.
The topics were well chosen the shakers
interesting; the group interested. The mer
chants were not only interested Is-cause of jer
sonul motives, but also because of civic pride.
Merchants are interested in anything that will
enable their town to prove an exception to the
general depression.
It is said that Merchants Institute is to be
come an annual affair and well it should. Such
Institutes arc valuable to the university, and
to university students. That they are of value
to the merchants goes without question. The
college of business administration is to be con
gratulated on the success of its venture, and
may the ones in yours i come be even more
successful.

Higher
Education.
This week and the next two will see, we
don't know how many. Ihousands of boys and
girls graduated from the high schools of Ne
braska. For most of these this high school
commencement exercise will Is the end of their
school days.
Of these a siiihII fraction will contiuue their
education. Supposedly this fraction consti
tutes a selected gronj" selected on ability of
their parents to seud them to school, their own
ambition to obtain learning and certain other
abilities, especially athletic.
f?ome two thousand or i.iore of these l"ys
and girls, become over summer, young men
and women, will enroll here as Freshmeu next
September. Just what sort of a group will
this be? How faulty has the selective process
which has sent them to the university as com
pared to what is required of them here will he
shown when mid semester and final exams send
many back home as unfit, subjects for the ex
penditure of limited public money in an at
tempt to educate them.
How to make the pre-college selective pro
cess more effective, how to give the lietter stu
dent higher education has leeu aud continues
to be a problem under a system when facilities
for such are limited.
What kind of students are wanted is another
complication. Athletes are in general good
demand. Fraternities aud sororities do their
part in bringing those with money to school.
How to attract the scholar Is not so simple.
The state normal and parochial schools of
Nebraska have for some time used a system
of "rr;sIiroan scholarships to attract sujKjrior
students. Such a system of tuition scholar
ship for the freshman year to be given ISO
promising high school seniors has been insti
tuted here for next year. It is not expected
that the plan will radically change the general
body of students who enter the university each

Sin Sermon.
'A Canadian university professor, who calls
himself "an oltksiuner," but who probably is
the very pink of professorial propriety, says
that the "seven cardinal sins" as set forth by
clergymen are not nearly so sinful as those on
his little list.
According to the moral code as revised, the
reully serious sins are: (Stupidity, ugliness,
moral turpitude, cowardice, meanness, hypoc
risy and pessimism, and the worst of these is
pessimism.
Hut pessimism is not a sin; it is a disease.
It comes not from temptation but from in
fection due to exposure to other itesslmists.
A healthy mind is never pessimistic. It may
contract's little despondency when exposed to
adversity as a healthy body may contract a
cold when exposed to a sudden cbill. but it
reeognitea the mood as a aicknesa and treats
it accordingly.
And the earlier it is treated the sooner it is
cured.
lon't let a cold develop into pneumonia and
don't let a little despondency develop into pes
imiiim. Omaha Bee News.

Horrifying Example of Amer

a fanatic no laws can be enacted
which will be effective."
Don Larimer said, "I think the
Lindbergh case is a good demon
stration of how a cancerous
growth of the criminal element of
the country is sucking the very
life blood out of the greatness of
the United States. If it can serve
the purpose of moving the nation
to ousting organized crime it will
not have been in vain." Larimer is
a Theta Chi senior from Lincoln.
Gangs Blamed.
At least three of the men inter
viewed held that the crime could
be laid directly at the door of or
ganized criminal groups and ex
pressed a hope that the brutal kill
ing of the little boy would have
the influence of inciting the public
to violence against the criminal el
ement in the United States.
"The case is that sort of thing
which will eventually rouse the
public consciousness to such a
pitch that we will soon be able to
put an end to the public enemies,"
Art Mitchell, Huron, S. D., de
clared tersely. Mitchell is a senior
member of Delta Tau Delta.
Jack - Erlckson expressed virtu
ally thu same sentiments in re
gard to the case when interviewed.
He held that altho Americans
were sufficiently aroused against
the criminals they must admit
they are whipped. "Organized
crime has delivered a blow," he
said, "to the hearts of the Ameri
can people which has left us mo
mentarily stunned. It has laughed
in our faces it has taken the child
of one of our most popular heroes
and brutally killed it. If the Lind
bergh atrocity will not rouse us to
action against crime in general we
must admit we are licked." Erick
non is from Newman Grove and is
affiliated with Alpha Theta Chi.
He is a junior.
Change May Follow.
When questioned about the case,
Donald Carlson, Hollywood, Calif.,
senior, and Alpha Sigma Phi, said,
"Naturally, the case attracting the
widest interest of any kidnaping
in iht last few years should affect
the hearts and minds of American
citisens. Perhaps," he added, "a
result of this crime, which seems
to have interested almost every
one. will be to incite American
government to the point where life
and property can be protected
against organized crime."
"Mere words," he went on, "can
not express it any way the senti
ments everyone apparently holds
concerning the matter."
Expressing an opinion that all
the elements in the case had not
yet been revealed, George Elmborg
of Omaha, struck a new note in
the comments. Elmborg, a junior
ami member of Sigma Phi Sigma,
declared, "There is something
strange, in my opinion, about this
whole affair. Some elements of
th? cane seem to be missing. Peo
ple not connected with the case
are not getting the vital details.
It seems to me there have been
too many Intermediaries in the
case, while the whole time the
baby has been dead."
Bernard Jennings, '34, Lincoln,
Alpha Theta Chi, said, "I feel the
same as everyone else about the
thing. I think it is terrible, un
speakably horrible."
Hits at Hers Worshjp.
Phillip Brownell said, "1 can't
think of anything to say about it
Anything ons says it trite and does
not aid the Lindbergh family in
the slightest Of course it Is the
most atrocious crime in the his
tory of the United States and all
sympathy should be extended to
the bereaved family, but the sar
donic thing still hits home hard
that the American people have in
dulged just ones too often in their
silly hero worship." Brownell is a
Delta Upsilon from Lincoln. H
is a junior.
"I think there has been too
uu:h publicity given the case and
I don't want to give it any more,"
Russel Mouseii, Hastings, Beta
Theta Pi, declared. He is a senior.
