over the sad pass to which student
deal out patronage, so to speak.
But in reality the condition is
much healthier now than under the
conditions where campus politics
worked with clocklike precision.
Students who have the desire to
work in extracurricular activities
need not feel so cynical about the
chances to break in on a closed
corporation without pull. There is
less justification for the fooling of:
"Oh well, whafs the use. I'll only
get chiseled by somebody who be
longs to the right group."
Why, then, has there been such
a lack of student interest?
Perhaps the lack of interest in
student affairs this year is simply
a hangover of feeling from the
time when conditions were such

be a tendency to adopt a policy of

technical change in ownership had
taken place.
Without knowing any of the dif
ficulties or obstacles involved in
such procedure, we can only say
that it is interesting to realize that
there is possibility of lightening
the burden of costs which fraterni
ties and sororities are puzzling
over. If the pressure nee-emus
much greater, some such solution
may be worthy of investigation.

has appeared several times on the
cover of the latter publication.
"Marjorie has a strong sense of
responsibility and argumentive
ability. She would argue with a
congressman and uphold a tin
standard if she could find the con
gressman who would argue on that
point," offers one of Marjories
friends. "Sne exceis m - -
conversing and enjoys a poinl
talker." . ,
According to another friend
Marjorie would much prefer to
hoar the friendly whine of a stray
dog than to listen to a child say
his first word. She has a "weak
ness for cats and dogs and can't
resist stooping down to pick up or
pat one when one of them passes
her. She ha-, a habit of speaking
her secret thought aloud in Ger
man. Marjorie has no definite plan as
to what she will do when she is
out of school but says she is open
to suggestions. Having no definite
plan for the future may explain
why Marjorie would like so much
to have her fortune told by "a
really good fortune teller."
Someone suggested that she
was an upholder of stoicism since
she always let herself be governed
solely by reason.
When asked her views on mar
riage Miss Quivey said they were
still very very vague as yet. she

In view of the fact that there
has been Jess domination and pre
arrangement of the political
scenery than hitherto, it is ready
surprising that there has been this
lack of interest and initiative. Not
lor several years has the oppor
tunity been so good for those with
out pull to make themselves
j lace in campus activities. Espe
cially is this true in regard to jobs
in student publications.
No doubt certain things have
iter, iixed in some cases. But for
the most pa it there has been a
i.er."ial disorganization nd absence
- f political bossi-rn which in turn

ures might be inclined to give se

to avoid these taxes.
H ETHER the state would con
sent to accept the property
thus countenancing avoidance of
taxation is of course another ciues-
a j tiori. But in view of the fac t that
I fraternal organizations supply the
facilities of dormitories in Lincoln,
without which labilities the stud
ent housing- problem would be a
serious one, it would not be diffi
cuit for the state to justify owr- t
ship of fraternal property.
From the point of view fraterni
ties and sororities there would be
little to lose by adopting this
course of action. The state, thru
the university, already exercises
