THE DAILY NEBRASKAN

OUR UTOPIAN
UNIVERSITY
(Continued from rage 2.
aIho criticized. Our Utopian unl
veiHity would not .tolerate Buch
..emulations, but we are reasonably
certain that we have done nothing
to advance the coming of the mil-h-nlum
in this connection.
We have decried the emphasis
ut upon grades and the grading
BVHlem, which is by no means an
original idea, and which has prob
ably irritated the readers as much
,lM it has us by reason of Its trlte-m-HH.
Hut we nevertheless believe
that the ideal university would rot
be mien a manufacturer or si
anilzed graded products.
-N the realm of student affairs
I we have in different connec
tions tiled to point out the neces
sity for establishing equality of
opportunity In extracurricular af
fairs. We have encouraged the
development of the barb organiza
tion and indicated our contempt for
tiie a.uiiclal aristocratic pose as
sumed by many wearers of Greek
bulges.
,u many instances the Nebras
kaii has encouraged such projects
as the raising ot money tor coli
seum permanent decorations. By
voicing the opinions of various stu
dent organizations, we have tried
to help them secure co-operation
in the promotion of various proj
ects, in this capacity we feel that
the Daily Nebraskan is Invaluable.
Among the more important fea
tures of student life on our Uto
pian campus would be the exist
ence of a student activity tax. In
connection with this proposed proj
ect the Nebraskan has launched its
most lengthy and no doubt most
boresome campaign, but we do feel
that wc have accomplished some
thing in the way of informing a
substantial portion of the student
body as to what the activity tax
plan is.
"UK criticisms of the Interfra-
V7 ternity council have started
a movement to reorganize that
body on a basis whtcn will lay
more emphasis upon co-operative
achievement rather than political
climbing. We expect no radical
improvements as a result of this
change but hope that a new idea
of accomplishment may arise
from it.
If this newspaper were pub
lished on an ideal campus, it would
probably be allowed to use tobacco
advertising and certainly its staff
members would be selected, by
somo Infallible process. We admit
we did not propose that infallible
process, however.
Comments on possible means of
Improving the annual Honor's con
vocation were taken seriously and
a real effort is to be made, we un
derstand, to eliminate some of the
minor defects of that program
next year.
IN connection with the consist
ent harping on the evils of
compulsory military drill, we have
maintained a more or less paci
fists stand. While we have not
gone to the extremes which many
college editors have In piomoting
the pacifist doctrine, we have felt
strongly that those who hold this
doctrine arc entitled to speak their
minds as fully and freely as they
like.
Our Russian comrades failed to
come to our aid when our pacifist
utterances and in particular a ran
dom criticism ot the antiquated
methods in this state for catching
bank robbers brought down upon
our head the wrath of the state
sheriff's office. As an example of
an impersonal criticism which was
taken personally to the disadvan
tage of the sensitive Individual
who took it personally this little
Incident was an amusing Instance.
The Incident also illustrated the
sensitiveness of people to the au
dacity and presumption of a mere
student upstart editor who had the
bad taste to comment on anything
aside from school affairs. Which
we did rather frequently but for
the most part inocuously.
AND so the semester has gone.
By no means do we claim
that should all the reforms and
improvements we have suggested
be adopted and all the grievances
eliminated that we would In truth
have a utopla. We haven't even
touched upon some of the most
Important changes which should
be made. And we would hesitate
to claim that our ideas if put into
effect would really establish Uto
pia for anyone but the editorial us.
But we have gone along comment
ing, criticising, enjoying, and be
ing annoyed with our job.
We feel that it is at least some
consolation to have these personal
ideas of Utopia exist In the mind.
We protest that life would indeed
be dreary if we did not feel free to
conjure up pictures of ideal situa
tions and hope and believe in the
possibility of their realization.
Never again, probably, will we
have the opportunity to crystallize
these notions by writing them each
day. We have appreciated it. From
now on we shall have to keep
mostly to ourself the peculiar
ideas, the critical observations, and
the fanciful ideals which we have
been allowed to print this semes
ter. And so, goodbye.
