While the
Greeks Slept
, JETURNING to school for the plunge into the
; strenuous activities of rush week, it has prob-
- ably escaped the attention of most fraternity men
that things of importance to their world have been
going on during the summer.
We refer to plans for the formation of the
alumni council, the actual organization of which
will begin next week when fraternities will be re-
- quested to elect one alumni delegate each.
As outlined in the preliminary discussions at
the two dinner meetings held recently, the new
council will concern itself largely with the f.nancial
, plight in which almost all fraternities find them
selves. Later, it has been indicated, the scope of
;the council's work may be expanded to include other
problems of the Greeks.
Officially the directing alumni organization is
-not yet actually under way, and officially the pres
ent interfraternity council has not been informed
;;of the proposed effort to stabilize fraternities.
-.When the undergraduate council does officially
. learn of the new endeavor, there will doubtless be
some consternation among the active Greeks, who
will probably begin howling that their preserves
have been forcibly invaded.
To eliminate any such spectacle, why shouldn't
the interfraternity council officers call an immedi
- ate meeting of their organization and have machin
al ery for co-operation with the new alumni body all
Hset up by the time the alumni delegates are named
and assume their duties?
JT cannot be denied that the interfraternity coun
cil in the past has neglected its duties; if such
had not been the case, there would have been no
need for an alumni council. There should be no
excuse then, for the kind of carping that would as
sume the undergraduates had been insulted by hav
ing outside help. The undergraduates need the help,
and the least their representatives in the interfra
ternity council can do is accept that assistance with
good grace and offer all co-operation they can in
return. , '
The. first step in that co-operaticn should be in
the direction of immediate reorganization of the in
terfraternity council.
To make the undergraduate body at all able to
capitalize on its potentialities, politics and activities
climbing must be divorced from the scheme of rep
resentation. As a matter of fact, there i.s even now
i committee of the council empowered to recom
mend changes in the method of representation, but
1 past performances are any guide, the council will
4 need quantities of additional stimulation if anything
definite is to be accomplished.
Seniors, and seniors alone, have the perspective
to deal with the problems that are confronting any
body which sets itself up to face out the problems
'confronting the Greeks on this campus. In the
'past, when there was little need for intelligent di
rection when fraternities would function almost
automatically in spite of undergraduate mismanagc
!ment there was comparatively little need for a
more efficient interfraternity council. As a result,
the post of interfraternity council delegate in each
house became a mere rung in the activities ladder,
Iwith the selection of Innocents as the ultimate goal
'in the mind of almost every hopeful junior.
I Now, however and for some time in the past
'if the truth were admitted Greek problems have
jbecome too involved for such superficial treatment.
One of the inevitable results of continued under
graduate indifference to the problems is already in
evidence with the movement for an alumni council.
Daily Nebraskan exerted it-
selt strenuou.-Iv to discover the status ot the :
athletic department and its specific connections
with the university. The only results could have '
been resolved into a simple sentence, typifying the
attitude which met the investigators at every turn.
The sentence was: "The athletic department is an
independent corp ration, in no way connected with
the university."
It was natural that such a discovery should
cause at least a little surprise en the part ot the in- ,
vestigators. On the one hand their own eyes
showed them the v.ist ;ithht
intimately involved with student life and activity.
On the other hand there was the flat denial that the I
department had anything to do with the university, i
But if there was sin prise on this early oc casion
- some two or three years ago it is difficult to de
scribe the state ot mind caused by the announce
ment of the univer sity's assumption f the athletic
department's debt, which amounted, specifically, to
taking over the unpaid amounts due on coliseum
bonds. ;
Here was a condition that controverted all the
often repeated facts ot a distince severance between
the athletic department and the school. Here was
an action, purposing to "maintain the integrity of
the athletic department" land by implication, at
least, the integrity of the university) which defied
understanding.
liar hats. If the speakers are themselves women,
the conversation is reported to revolve around de
tails of tailoring which usually escape the male at
tention. Definite information on this point, how
ever, cannot be obtained.
Other items under the heading "small talk"
might well include girls (in the case of men i and
hoys (in the case of women i. There should be, too,
some recrgnition for the solicitude with which the
rusher probes the high school activity of the rushre.
; and the plans for university most rushees have
formulated. The key phrase in these cases Is usual
ly "Have you registered yet?" or "What courses
are you taking?", spoken while the big fraternity
man pats the rushee's knee in an informal manner
and sits down on the sofa beside a temporarily
neglected freshman guest.
So it would go. The list would be extended, but
it would enly be with additional banalities, all of
which might well be lumped under one general head
ing "filler." The rusher fills the rushee with a
"line" or conversation sedulously edited to avoid
anything not thoroughly embedded in mutual indif
ference, and the "line," in turn, serves as n highly
effective filler of time.
The subject is revelatory highly typical, in
deed, i f ordinary fraternity procedure.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
pYKN yet the sudden assumption of responsibility
is not entirely clear, since acauisition of such
responsibility would seem to have been most un
necessary in the face of the department's existence
as a separate entity. It is not the province of the
Daily Nebraskan. however, to discuss this unex
ampled administrative philanthropy, altho it is the
province of the Nebraskan to rejoice now that the
connection between university and athletic depart
ment is firmly established.
Things athletic are now as they should be, or
at least much more nearly so than ever before.
With the university clearly and definitely concerned
with its own athletic functions there should be no
more excuses for failure to utilize the facilities of
the department for the greatest possible number of
students. As a matter of tact, the material changes
in athletic administration will probably be few, but
with students now in position to ask their univer
sity for an extension of privileges, a change in pol
icy is not the forlorn hope that it once was.
In the past the athletic department has not
been blameless in its emphasis of certain sports and
activities to the exclusion of any great amount of
concern for what happened to the average student
who wished to take advantage of athletic facilities.
Even while voicing the creed that "football should
pay for intramural and other athletics'' there has
been no great disposition to give much attention to
anything but the gridiron sport. The result, from
the point of view of the average undergraduate, has
been highly satisfactory as far as turning out great
football teams was concerned, but when that same
average student wished to participate in sport for
himself, after tiring of the role of mere spectator in
the stadium, it was not unusual for him to find his
desires frustrated by a host of inconveniences.
Football will, and perhaps should, continue to
be the great provider for other sports, but now as
never before may it be hoped that more attention is
given to the student who enjoys participating in
I sport and athletic activity for its own sake.
A new leaf has apparently been turned. Will
the effects of new policies come up to expectations?
.etc Forces
it Work.
"Campus vs. Classroom" is the way in which a
recent wr iter in Harper's magazine titled an article
on the gradual separation of academic and extra
academic life. The author, Burges Johnson, pro
fessor, reporter, and editor, treats the discussion in
such an admirable fashion that we feel able to
quote freely from his work.
Johnson points out that in the early history ot
education universities were nothing more than
groups of teachers who selected their own abiding
places; around them gathered students from near
and far who cared to listen and question.
Then came the new world and colleges of the
ministry wherein authorities were made responsi
ble for the behavi' r of students, protecting them
from the snares of the world. There arose an or
ganized social liie which has become a tradition of
the American college and university.
This new American college was bicameral and it
intended its two chambers, the Campus and the
Classroom, to work together. But rifts began to
appear here and there. A teacher, brought to a
faculty because ol devotion to his subject, began to
seek scholarship first and the good of the church
second. As these institutions grew students came
from outside the sectarian fold and the denomina
tion wa3 no longer the dictator.
Strange things happened. Activities appeared;
the a'"- ;:iu.s, trained by the Campus and not the
CU: nim, began to determine America's popular
definition of college. The old unity was gone. The
classroom found itself preparing young students for
every sort of worldy activity and professors tried
to provide by cleetives a curriculum that could suit
all, and outwit the shrewd evader by a preplexing
system of credits and cuts and all the machinery
which we know well today.
The Campus grew extravagant. Lacking a sin
gle determination and mutual support, both the
Campus and the Classroom were ripe for exploita
tion. To quote Mr. Johnson:
"Militarists, claiming that pacifism held the fac
ulty in its clammy grip, sent their organizers to
arouse student emotions and to secure their allegi
ance. Pacifists, equally certain that militarism was
an evil, did their own sapping and mining. Drives,
tag days, this thing and that were carried on all
heedless of the confusion and obstruction of teach
ing which resulted."
In respect to this, it is good to be able to say
that California is almrst free of that type of ex
ploiter who lays his hands upon student social af
fairs. In many universities there exists a vicious
system of bribing student committees to obtain
dance and decorations contracts.
The Campus was halted in its wild flight by the
check-rein of the depression. Gradually the two
chambers are growing closer together. We may
look forward to the time when academic and extra
academic activities will be completely inter-related.

AST year it was the A.
fHE next step is the reurgaiiUatiun of thr iiiti-r-
fraternity council so that it will be on a basis
conducive to efficient co-operation with the alumni
' legislative body. Additional work will present it-
self after the first great upheaval of the representa
; lion scheme is accomplished. At the moment, how
ever, the reorganization is the thing of prime im
i portance.
It cannot be emphasized too much that imme
diate action is necessary. A meeting of the Greek
representatives tonight would not be out of place,
and work on the actual business of reorganization
should be accomplished within the first week of
(school If undergraduate Greeks knew how their
alumni regarded the problems to be threshed out
? by fraternities withia the next few months if they
could have heard the expression of opinions at the
Uwo dinner meetings from which the plan for an
alumni council was born-then the members of ac
tive chapters would realize how important their ac
;tions are going to be.
j A big task is set for Nebraska Greeks, and the
'reconstruction program that will present itself has
(innumerable ramification. To set forth that pro-
A. U. meet and the
pending presidential election, coupled with
quantities of the inevitable small talk. This year it
was the world's fair and the national recovery act,
plus the same small talk.
What's all this? Nothing but rush week con
versation. In sorority circles the topics may vary
with specific feminine interests, but in fraternities
it is safe to say that a list of everything talked
about would not have to be extended much beyond
the topics mentioned to include the whole gamut of
"preliminary" conversation.
There were additions, of course, in the form of
argument which varied only in the degree of its
persuasiveness and the combinations of Greek let
ters around which it revolved. In official circles
this is the "rush talk." or the "sweat session," or
what have you; hut since it is common to all dele
gations of fraternity men and prospective fraternity
men it i.s pretty well stereotyped and can be dis
regarded. As for variations which might be thought to be
hiding behind the phrase "small talk." it would be
very, very surprising if they could not be classified
in a limited list.
Always, for example, we have with us the
automobile and the relative merits of the different
kinds. It would, indeed, be an extremely rare rush
party in which an auditor could not detect a dis
cussion or even controversy of this nature. Always,
too, there in prohibition and antiprohibition. This
year, to he sure, is the first in which voices have
not been lowered in illicit whisperings about beer,
but the same fundamental topic the same typical
collegiate interest - is there beneath it all.
"TPHEN there are clothes, which usually come in for
a share of the attention. If the speakers are
male, in recent years, there has been manifested a
derided tendency to evprecs concern over feminine
mentality as evidenced by the latest taste in pecu-
In Dr. P. A. Downs' labor
atory in the dairy building the
lights have been burning very late
every night this week while three
Ag college seniors have been mak
ing final preparations to enter the
Inter-Collegiate Dairy Products
Judging contest to be held in Chi
cago Monday Sept. 18.
In almost constant session on
since Saturday, Sept. 9, Coach
Downs and the three teamsmen.
F.oyce Fish. Bruce Ford, and Bill
Ralston, have been working on the
finer points of products judging.
Their early start and intensified
practice were made necessary by
the fact that the contest comes a
month earlier than usual this year.
The team and coach will leave for
Chicago by automobile late Satur
day afternoon.
Milk, butter, cheese, and ice
cream are the four products Coacn
Downs and his three pupils are
studying. Products judging de
pends upon good seeing, smelling,
tasting, and then the ability set a
numerical value on what your eyes,
nose, and mouth tell you. A good
judge must learn to see quality
and texture in milk, butter, cheese,
and ice cream, and then to smell
and taste any off flavors or unde
sirable ingredients.
The contest, to be held this
year at the plant of the Blue Val
ley Creamery company at Chicago,
is jointly sponsored annually by
the Dairy and Ice Cream Machin
ery and Supplies association and
the American Dairy Science as
sociation. Monday, the day of the
contest, will be the first day of
these associations' annual conven
tion. Last year the convention and
contest were at Detroit, and the
year before they were at Atlantic
City, New Jersey. Professor
Downs, the team's coach, is a
member of the American Dairy
Science association and an official
in the contest.
The chief incentive for seniors in
Ag Colleges in the United States
to go out for the dairy products
judging contest is an $SoO re
search scholarship paid to each of
the high ten men each year. Last
year Perry Meridith. Farm House,
won one that took him to Ohio
The year before Marvin Kivett won
one. and the year before that on:
went to Marvin Keiiey. Nebraska's
students have seemed to hold their
own at the products judging con
tests. Over and above the possibility of
a scholarship, there are other very
definite values that acme to mem
bership on the dairy products
team. The trip to Chicago, whi 'h
will include some time spent at the
Century of Progress, is certainly
worth striving for. So. the boys
say, was the trip to Detroit. So
here I speak with authority, tor
I was there was the trip to At

And beside the trips there Is
