One of the letters calls attention to the plans for the annual banquet, pointing out the value of this func tion, and particularly stressing the careful work which has been done to insure a successful event this year. The Interfraternitv council is deserving of congratulation for the manner in which the banquet is being handled this year. The af fair, as the writer points out, is not being forced on the fraterni ties this year. It is given because the sentiment of nearly every house on the campus favored it. Arrangements have been made to offer a cheaper banquet than those of past years, which is also as it should be. Prospects for the finan cial success of the affair are also good as a result of a careful pol icy of ticket selling. The banquet should be one of the cherished traditions of Greek dom on this campus. The Nebras kan feels that the notice given to fraternity scholarship at this an nual affair is alone sufficient basis for retaining this traditional affair. The awarding of scholarship plaques has become a feature of the banquet, the results of which last over into the next year as each group tries to maintain a scholar ship record sufficient to win recog nition at the annual banquet. OUT there is much point to the second letter which deals with the work of the Interfraternity council. The writer adopts the stand which the Nebraskan has maintained for some time, namely that the only real activity of the Greek council is confined to the sponsoring cf this annual banquet and the ball. "After all," the writer concludes, "it seems a shame that a body with potential power so great should expend all its energy on two events per year. When the banquet Is over, the Nebraskan feels reasonably sure that the Greek body will settle down to await the next big func tion, the Interfraternity ball, next year. At that time, a number of aspiring activity men will battle for places on the committee. And another year of accomplishment will have been completed. Enough has been said by the Ne braskan as to this matter. The Interfraternity council has never taken any notice of criticisms or nrnnosals for iniDiovement. There i is another month of school and there is still time for at least a discussion of the Nebraskan's sug gestion for revision of the repre sentation scheme on the council. Is it possible that the council might give this matter some consideration?

ABOUT every so often university students get a break in the way of an interesting and worth while convocation program. These occasions come all too infrequently, but when they come they are ap preciated by the individuals who can miss classes in order to attend, and who have not been disillus ioned by previous poor programs. Dr. Ferdinand Schevill, in Lin coln for the convention of the Ne braska History Teachers conven tion, afforded one of these infre quent opportunities Friday for stu dents to hear something of real in terest. Despite the handicap of the prolonged noise of the thunder iner .herd marching across the creaky boards of the Temple the atre balcony, and climbing the rickety steps, Dr. Schevill managed to secure the attention of the en tire audience. Dr. Oldfather, who presided at the convocation, did valiant service in giving the speaker a chance to make himself heard. By prolong ing his introductory remarks, Dean Oldfather managed to occupy most of the time while the din of the audience in reaching their seats in the Temple loft was loudest. MORE frequent convocation pro grams of more varied nature are needed badly on this campus. Even tho the facilities for holding such affairs at this university seem, to say the least, very poor, the Temple theatre isn't the only place where such programs could be held. The real reason for the infrequency and doubtful quality of the convocations programs lies chiefly in the lack of money to be used to provide good programs. In Tuesday's Nebraskan, a plan will be advanced whereby this lack in the institution's extra-curricular program can be supplied. If enough money could be supplied to bring to this campus some notable talent, the Nebraskan feels that other arrangements to make a suc cessful series of convocations pro grams could be relatively easily provided for. OSE UUSDRED ATT EX D W. A. A. SPOUTS DAY Affair Is Sponsored by Physical Education Organization. , Approximately 100 college and university women attended the Sports day directed by the physi cal education club and sponsored by W.

INFLECTIONS ON FAME There May Be a Moral in This. I have always liked that Pi Phi ditty "When I Was a Student in College" ever since I first heard it as 6a bus-boy in the dining room of the Stanlc hotel, Eestes Park, Colo. The Pi Phis then as now were a bevy of beauties And when they sang "When I Was a Student in College" L felt like nothing would be so swell as being a student in college too. I went to college. It was.how ever a university and there were no Pi Phis. So we contented our selves with songs about Yale and what they do at Yale and about "When a man first learns to love, etc" We were not, however, ue piived of beauty. It came about this way. Some of the less genteel thought it would be a good idea to have a male beauty contest. In advance, they decided that one Zilch a football player should be the winner. Now Zilch was not the es sence of male pulchritude. He did have a rudy complexion and a jovial nature. And so the contest got under way, the initiating en gineers all the time stuffing the ballot box and enjoying the scene. Finally the vote for the Campus Adonis was closed. Zilch won. From the leading department store of the city he received a new suit By this time he was more than im pressed with the duties brought on by the honor. He combed his hair, he shined his shoes. He was, in short, the very model of a modern young Beau Brummel. a condi tion quite unforseen by the malici ous schemers. Furthermore, the metropolitan press had taken him up as a fit subiect for publicity. And so, in the feature sections appeared Zilch's smiling countenance. His fame became national a shirt manufacturer the one that takes full pages in college magizines and always presents ruddy com plexioned young men planted his picture in their paid advertising space. Thus the story of Zilch. I don't know what he is doing now. I imagine that he has preserved pictures of the days when he was the campus Adonis perhaps he still has one or two of the shirts which the shirt manufacturer gave him for the uses of his pic ture (I suppose he got shirts, hate to consider him a profession, al). I'm just wondering if between the business manager, the editor and myself we can't cook iip some scheme this spring whereby I can get a suit of clothes and a few new shirts. I certainly need them and I do so hate to go around to my friends and ask for a con tribution to make me presentable once again. However, all my thoughts aren't so materialistic now that I am in a college. Every once in a while I think about the Pi Phis and that summer when I bussed dishes out of the Stanley hotel dinning room. Marjorie Shanafelt Speaks at Meeting Miss Marjorie Shanafelt, curator of visual education, was the speak er at a Friday morning convoca tion of the students of the junior and senior high schools at aJckson high, where she talked on "House keeping at the Zoo." A Question of Forestry. Mr. Buzzer I hear that you called on your old enemy, Mc Slugg. I trust that he extended the olive branch to you. Mr. Fussbody Mebbe it was that, but I thought at the time it was an elm cudgel.
