No Homecoming
Decorations.
'J'HERR will bo no Homecoming decorations this
year. This announcement, by the Innocents
society, sponsor of this annual rite, appears ln this
morning's paper. Important, however, is the em
phasis placed on the fact that the action consti
tutes but suspension for a single year. Unless simi
lar action is again taken next year, the tradition of
Homecoming decorations will automatically come
back.
The Nebraskan has made a plea for preserva
tion of this, one of Nebraska's noblest traditions,
tho most colorful event of the campus year and
probably the most looked-forward-to occasion, with
the exception of Ivy day, on the university calendar.
But in vain.
2 The decision come to Saturday by the Innocents
society was but recognition of the fact that the
economy program on this campus is more doter-
mined and genuine than had been previously esti
mated. Simply, the situation was this: whether or not
the house decorations contest was officially kept
alive, no many houses were not going to decorate
this year that the spectacle was t'oing to be a
disappointing flop. The decision of the Innocents
society was one of wisdom; it is better that there be
no pretense at decorations than that an attempt be
made o keep up the custom and then huve it fail.
The seriousness with which Nebraska frater
nities and sororities are taking their economy pro-
grams is commendable. Definite action taken by
the Panhellenlc council promises to cut the cost of
"social events almost in half. Fraternities should
follow In this. House bills have been reduced to a
" competitive level with boarding houses and the
-women's residence hall. The GreeU associations on
this campus have, apparently, seen the absolute
necessity for balancing budgets if they are to
weather the economic storm.
All this indicates the wisdom of a system which
can give up old standards and meet the exigencies
-of present conditions when forced to It.
It is too bad that a fine Nebraska tradition,
which the Homecoming house decorations custom
...was, had to be a victim to this necessity. Such,
-however, was the case. It is not that Nebraska stu
... dents do not value the traditions which have been
built up on this campus by years 6f observance. It
is simply that, for this year at least, fraternities
and sororities are forced to reduce operating ex
... penses wherever possible.
The hope for restoration lies with the future.
Suspension for one year roust not mean fhe end of
' the decorations custom. Observers predict that an
upward turn, if not "just around the corner," is
"inevitable. By next year the blight of depression
may have begun to lift. If so, the Homecoming
decorations must come back. A dangerous break
in the continuity of the custom will be made this
year. But this break need not be permanent.

one of two ailments. Either they are color-blind,
or else they are illiterate and can't read the written
instructions for the stunts. For on each stunt the
number who held up the wrong card was large
enough to blur the effect noticeably.
To the band must go credit for saving what
would otherwise have been a sorry between-halves
display. The band, well drilled and well balanced
as to instrumentation, with iU gigantic drum on
wheels and other decorations, provided an imprar
sive ceremony as it marched onto the field and
executed its designs, including a greeting In ini-
tlals for the visitors.

the promotion by this paper of the plan for

They have no common bonds, no means of associa

that every individual barb cannot
be represented in the barb organization any more
than every fraternity man can be represented per
interfraternity council. It is alao
obvious that individual barbs cannot participate In
dividually in intramural athletics, and that to be
politically effective, each individual barb cannot
nominate and vote for his own candidate. In other
words the entire basis for successful participation
in student activities of every sort rests on a cohe
sive organization.
These scattered barbs then must get together
in small groups which are capable of participating
in intramural activities and can be recognized as
entitled to membership in the proposed inter-club
council. This docs not mean that these scatterrd
barbs must live together, but it does mean that
they must keep in touch with each other and at
tempt to establish a self-perpetuating club. Above
all, it does not mean that the small clubs are to
become a "second bunch of Greeks." None of the
rigidity of organization, nor the exr ?nses connected
with the Greek lodges need be incurred.
But the only alternative to organisation Is
the present condition of utter disorganization. We
hope "A Barb" accepts these suggestion! as con
structive attempts to help the barbs become effec
tive. The plan was not Instituted by the Interfra
ternity council, but by the Student council with the
co-operation of a number of unaffiliated students.
As to tho suggestion of the writer to renovate
the old Barb council, we can only say that this or
ganization is based on precisely the same principle
of representation as is the Barb council. Call It
what you will, "A Barb," you cannot escape the
necessity of organization and representation. The

TO THE EDITOR:
It is time that some definite ac
tion should be taken about fresh

ignorned requests to wear their
caps, and upperciassmen nave
passed over their refusal with
laughs.
ir this is tne case, wny nave tne
freshmen caps at all?
But. if the wearing or freshmen
caps is to still be a school tradi
tion, it must be enforced.
For weeks, the Innocents, stu
dent council and other student au
thorities have blathered about tra
ditions and weakly protested
gainst frosh refusal to wear the
caps.
Are the upper ciassmen going to
let the frosh ret the better of
them? Are the Innocents going to
enforce this, their annual duty?
The situation now points to an
overthrow of tradition ... and a
whitewashing- of our highest men's
body, supposedly chosen because
of honesty, integrity, eic. . .not xor

I propose this for definite ac

in force several years ago.
2. The committee to be made up

' COVER THE WATERFRONT."
After snendtnsr six years cover-
lnc the waterfront for a Pacific
coast newspaper, Max Miner has
written a volume in wmcn ne has
attempted to reveal a few of the
facts that lay behind the many
news-stories which he has turned
out for his paper.
He has s-one a step oeyond tne
ordinary recital of facts and has
delved into the background of
some of his newspaper assign
ments. Beneath the surface of the
usually presented facts he finds
little human dramas, which be of
fers the reader with a whlmiscal
twist. It is not. however, fraught
with cynicism, nor made absurd by
forced sentimentality, dui me au
thor does achieve a viewpoint ln
which the merit of the book rests.
If the reader deals strictly in
the subject-matter of the book, he
will probably be disappointed, for
the author does not aisn out soraia
details and the book is far from
risque. Nevertheless, if the reader
can appreciate tne writer a siyie,
his adroit handling of characters
and his philosophy, the book will
be found to be worth reading.
Each chapter is a separate yarn,
telling of some incident that oc
cured on the waterfsont, or of
some interesting personality that
makes this area Its habitat. It is
picture of a certain section of
life, as it has appeared to Max
Miller during his six years on that
beat
"THE GREAT MOUTHPIECE."
This omnibus-like creation was
produced by Gene Fowler as a
biography of the late William J.
Fallon, criminal lawyer extraor
dinary. To call the volumn merely
a biography would be gross under
statement, for it goes b-yond the
scope of one man's life to such an
extent that it is more of an an
thology of the experiences of sever
al colorful figures.
The passing of an opinion on
the book as a whole is rendered
quite difficult by its divesity of
content and multiplicity of detail.
However, it can be said of the
book that it is one of the most ec
centric works produced by any
contemporary writer.
In refusing to be restricted to
events pertinent to the life of Fal
lon, the author has been able to
utilize many interesting incidents
which he has observed during his
years in New York City. Not only
are the highlights ln Fallon's
career related, but the book also
reveal episodes in the lives of
Nickey Arnstein, Arnold Roth
stein, Thomas Mott Osborne, Fan
ny Brice, Peggy Joyce and a score
of other personalities that achieved
prominence during the years
shortly after the World war.
, In dealing with Fallon, himself,
the author has access to one of the
most colorful careers that the
American court room has ever
Known. The author employes a
host of apt similies in describing
his subject and constantly stresses
the fact that thruout his life Fal
lon was the actor supreme.
The reasons for Fallon's prom
inence are quite simple. He was
the first attorney to receive the
tremndous fees paid by the under
world for legal services. His vic
tories ln court and the sensational
manner in which he conducted his
cases attracted considerable atten
tion. As the author states it, "With
Fallon secured as attorney, the de
fendant had two strikes on the
prosecution."
The vast sums that poured into
Fallon's pockets from the coffers
