She CULTURAL sterility has been charged to the um- versitv so often that the attack is as trite and stale as last year's wage scale. The charge, it must be admitted, is not without some justification in the light of certain neglected opportunities, but neithei does it state the whole truth. It is a truism that the machinery ol institution alized education, although the be.st we have, is in evitably ponderous, but since there is little hope ot immediate escape from circumstance, acceptance of that circumstance seems the best alternative. A "Pollyanna" attitude- is certainly not to be implied, either, for only constant alertness and diligent ef fort can gradually overcome the deficiencies which cause such spirited criticism of the university. Meanwhile there are hopeful foundations al ready laid, and it is upon them that any improved structure must be built. Among the foremost of these encouraging phenomena is an organization which this fall begins its eighteenth year of active work: the University Players. Inspiration for both extravagant criticism and bitter condemnation, the Players yet remain as val uable a cultural addition to the university as is to be found on any campus. Presenting dramatic ma terial of superior merit, and doing it in a commend able fashion, the dramatic department, through the University Players, is making a very real contribu tion to student lives. It may be true that the ability of the actors is not to be ranked with the type of performance at tributed to Broadway. That escapes the point. If the Players' art was so great, then it is obvious that Nebraska would not have the opportunity to enjoy it any lor ger. We have the University Playeis, and we should be grateful for so much. And the gratitude should take the form of the support which the Tassels are soliciting today as they open the annual ticket sales campaign. The University Players open their eighteenth year.

Discourse ostali;ia. DKHSONAL Oil reflection deserves small space, per haps, in an editmia column, but strolling along a shaded university walk to the accompaniment of a clamour of associations, it is almost impossible not to recognize a kind of melancholic reminiscence, and recognizing it. to give it expression. College students, however much they may ridi cule sentimentality, are as much given to nostalgia as all other human beings, and whatever the indi vidual's particular brand of "homesickness"- whether it be for the great American fetishes home and mothei," or the days of the past, or the I lelt Dial the mice difference be tween slued pickles deliverer! at her dooi and cucumliers in the market was too great. The committee thought so too. Tin' committee thought so too. and they sot out to investigate the matter They found that the grow er of those encumbers had a high cost of production--rent on the land, cost of fertilizer and imple ments, tost of hired men, cost o, risk, cost of transporting the crop to town. And the vegetable grow er complained that he could not make any money. Next the committee found that the wholesaler had a host of serv ice costs to pay. He had capital invested in buildings; he had in suiance on his buildings and risk on the perishable products; he had workers in the plant, stenogra- liers salesmen and others to oav: girl who camped across the lake, or whatnot - it is. llaiJ transportation costs out to ! the letaileis to whom lie sold.

Sentimental? Certainly. But so nearly univei- I sal that even the most vociferous professor of cyni- j cism has somewhere a vulnerable spot. ' As for the editorial justification lor the expres sion of these observations, the point that the recog nition of the phenomena mentioned is connected with a college education need not he labored. No hint of the pedant's "evaluation" is intended; ephem eral manifestations within the mind of the individ ual cannot be evaluated, unless, indeed, some sort ol I poetical measurement be applied. It is enough to say that to he on speaking terms with one's own j nostalgic moods, and to recognize them as having a place in the complex of personality, is another little part of that vague "culture" which university students avowedly seek. wholesaler complaino'i Id not make much How Tradition Heath Work. From China, land of confusion, tradition vs. "modernity." comes a tal.- which the university in gen era!, and its student n.'irtioular. miirht well in I be and Morale: 'A Fundamental. THE fervor with which self appointed vocational advisers have overworked the "co-opeiative" concept obscures, in a measure, some of the real value attaching to the mutual projects we brand co-operative. But once in a while something occurs to re-emphasize the fundamental virtues accruing to joint effort. On the campus such a renewal of emphasis v,-as glimpsed only recently when the scholastic standing of undergraduate groups was released. There, at the head of the list, was Howard hall, a thoroughly co-operative enterprise undertaken by a few girls last semester. It was probably shocking to many aristocratic Greeks that the manual labor attendant on actual housekeeping and home management could be cou pled with high scholastic achievement. But the facts are there, and they are not such as to be con troverted by mistaken notions of the inherent value of wearing Greek pins. Howard hall stands alone at the head of the U. illation of scholastic achievement, It stands alone in certain other respects, too, and therein may lie the explanation for the high position in scholar Ship, The girls who lived in the co-operative house were first of all girls who were working together to keep their enterprise a going concern. Theirs was the energy that cleaned the house and kept it presentable and homelike. They alone were respon sible for their own financial'welfare, and their minds the ones that made the budget and devised ways and means of sticking to it. The girls, in short, had type have Actually All-l iiiversit OYV many times have vou heard some enthusi astic student bemoan the lack of any sort of all- university social functions comparable to the "var sity parties" which prevail at other schools'.' It would not be wide of the mark to guess that the number of undergraduates, and faculty members too. whir have voiced such a plaint mounts rather high. Attempts have been made in the past to actual ize the dream of a scheme of "varsity parties," but they have almost iinil'oi mly met with a failure that can only be described as dismal. "All-university parties," under the direction of the barb council. were a gesture in the direction of the desired of all-student social entertainments, but they failed to meet the requirements. They have failed, that i.-, previous to this year, hut if the Coliseum dar.ee Satin day night is any in dication, the campus is going to see this year a type of party that can be truthfully described as "all university." A good crowd, i epresenting as near a cross sec tion of student life as can be obtained on a campus the size of Nebraska's, payed money to dance at the Saturday party. Mu h is left to be desired in the way of decorations, of course, but once the Coli seum's permanent drapes are adequately de netted and made available for general use. this difficulty j should vanish. i It may be, of cuui.-.e, that some of the success of the party must be discounted as arising from the i circumstances of its being among the first student social ai fairs of the year. Kven so, however, a good j beginning has been made, mid the committee in , charge need only follow up its inaugural success to insure a kind of party f' i which the campus has long felt a need. into that And the that he c profit. The grocer also had capital in-ve.-led in his building, and in stor age room, and in i ef rigci at ion. And the grocer had to pay u host of sales clerks, and office help for j cash customers, and more office j help to take care of customers who found it more convenient to pay their bills once a month or less. And the grocer had to pay a delivery boy to take those pickles out to' the home of the lady who had made the complaint. More services piled up, and the grocery man complained that it was diffi cult for him to make money. When the Committee of Agricul tural Inquiry grit back to the lady who had complained because she only got two cucumbers for thirty five cents, about the only thing they ti.uld tell her was that there were a very large number of serv ices that had to be performed on those cucumbers before they reached her in the form of sliced pickles. That every person who rendered those services had to be paid. That paying for all those services had made it impossible to get the pickle to her fur any less than thirty-five cents. And that the only way the cost to her could lie reduced would be to find some way to reduce the number of serv ices. And then that lady sat down and figured out that if .-.he had bought two pickles ill the vegetable Ill.ll ket. paid catf.uo down to the mar ket and back, paid for all the ma terials to put up the pickles, pait tier miiiil tn do the work, and nai'1 to have the refuse hauled awa,l01' her jar oi pickles would probably j have cost mine man it Ui'l to orir them from the gnu er. leaders heed. l.-nr fount, ess eeilllllies, we me informed, the ancient customs and traditions of the far-off Kansu province have prevailed - influenc ing and mellowing the inexperi enced actions of any "younger generation." Since time im memorial, the Kansu women have fervi ntlv followed one particular creed; sunshine on the sixth day of the sixth moon is a command for I hem to flock to the open, roll up their pantaloons and sun their legs as long as the sun shines. The,- nrp confident that by con tinuing this practice they wi protected against contagious infectious diseases. There came a time when nearly all of Kansu's sage, elderly lead ers had passed, their places not filled by the younger men of the province. So a new governor was sent to Kansu, Ceil. Chu Sliao liang, a tempestuous militarist, wi li-versed in political strategy. When he learned of this particular tradition prevailing among the women-folk, he decided to abolish it. "It doe.-, no good. Times have changed. The officii ncy of my ad ministration will be disrupted by such a meaningless custom." he thundered. The few remaining older heads sighed sadly. "IVstioy this tradi tion and you permanently wreck an innocent custom, a vital part of Kansu," they advised the governor. TMscretion 'is the better part of valor." they reminded him. Womhr of wonders', they persuaded him not to act until he had seen the custom in effect, until lie was sure of what he was doing. On the sixth day of the sixth moon Ceneral Chu, yielding some what reluctantly to the advice of Ills elders, wandered to the open spaces. wh--iv h'- saw thousands of legs belonging to female citizens tannin- nicely. By the end of the day the governor had completely circumstances that one gets into. The longer the lapse, the more tangled aft'aiis become and the harder it is to cut loose from it all and come back into school. A stu- dent's return to the campus after -an indefinite absence signifies a wot thwhile determination. changed his mind. He had no in tention of interfering with the tradition cherished by the woman hood of Kansu. "It really is a nice, picturesque custom," he remarked. Thus far everybody is happy in cluding the Moil. General Kansu is, of course, several thousand miles away from the university campus. Yet, strangely enough, the problems of both are similar. The Kansuans convinced their political mogul that traditions are pleasant, innocent pastimes, and are often very beneficial. May the Californians do likewise! Daily Californian. A Political Machine Falls. The federal government's ex tensive reduction in veterans' re lief was one of the best things that has ever happened to the Amer ican Legion. Through promises of obtaining governmental aid for ex-service men, the American Legion was able to build up one of the most politically influential organizations in the country. Until President Roosovelt knocked the props from under it, the Legion was able to get almost anything wanted from congress. As a result, the whole organiza tion was generally discredited, and "pension racketeers" and "treas ury raiders" were opprobrious epi thets hurled at the Legion. President Roosevelt's economy bill caused great hardship to thou sands of veterans and their depend ents. This fact lias made it neces sary for the Legion to revamp its program to prevent veterans who do not need and who do not de serve aid from sharing the govern ment's relief appropriations. As the time of the annual con vention of the Legion nears, offi cials are laying plans to see to it that only deserving veterans and those who wen; actually disabled while in service are placed on the federal payroll. They have recog nized that the Legion can no longer continue its quondam policy of getting all it can out of the gov ernment.
