The charge, it must be admitted, is not without some justification in the light of certain neglected opportunities, hut neithei does it state the whole truth. It is a truism that the machinery ot institution alized education, although the host we have, is in evitably ponderous, but since there is little hope ot immediate escape from circumstance, acceptance ot that circumstance seems the best alternative. A "Pollyanna" attitude is certainly not t" lie 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 inundations 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 riayers. Inspiration for bi th extravagant criticism and bitter condemnation. Hie 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 Flayers, 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 longer. We have the University Playeis. and we should be grateful for so much. And the gratitude should take the form cf the support which the Tassels are soliciting today as they open the annual ticket sales campaign. The University Players open their eighteenth year. Few other activities can equal t'.ieir record of successful achievement. IK th th. loregoing conclusions. It can be shown. However that it is not Isolated.

Something ot tile same reasoning, indeed, may he applied to explain the greater .scholastic success ot professional groups. Bound together with inter ests gicwing from mutual woik, the professional fraternities invariably stand highei In scholarship than their purely social contemporaries It is something for the Greeks to think about, and seriously. Involved as they are in financial bogs, it might prove highly lienetioial lor Nebraska chapters to still the voice ol pseudo "dignity" and "ai istoeracy" in older that they might hear the voice ot co-operative effort. If Howard ball's achievement is meaningful and the Nebraskan believes it is scholarship is more than study it is closely linked with that in efiahle "morale" that seems to ci me most com pletely with real co-operative work.

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 ot "homesickness" whether it be for the great American fetishes "home and mothei." or the days of the past, oi the girl who camped across the lake, or whatnot it is very likely to creep out from time to time. The frequency varies with the individual, ol course, but it is safe to say that almost everyone experiences these occasions oi dreamy melancholia. Sentimental'.' Certainly. Hut so nearly univei sal that even the most vociferous pic fessor of cyni cism has somewhere a vulnerable spot. As for the editorial justification for the expres sion of these observations, the point that the tecog- nition of the phenomena mentioned is with a college education need not be 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 poetical measurement be applied. It is enough to say that to be on speaking terms with one's own 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 avowedlv seek. 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 was glimpsed only recently when the scholastic .standing of undergraduate groups was released. There, at the head cf 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 tabulation of scholastic achievement. It stands alone in certain other respects, too, and therein may he 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 Actually All-l niversity. TTOW manv time: have you heatd some enthusi astic student bemoan the lack of anv 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. who 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 partus." but they have almost uniformly 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 type of all-student social entertainments, but they have failed to meet the requirements. They have failed, that i.-, previous to this year, but if the Coliseum dance Saturday night is any in dication, the campus is going to see this year a type of party that can be truthfully described as "a!l university." A good crowd, i cpresonting as near a cross sec tion of student life as can be obtained on a can-pus the size of Nebraska's, paved money to dame at the Saturday party. M-.n h is left to be desired in the way of decorations, i f course, but once the Coli seum's permanent drapes are adequately delicate.. and made available for general use. this difficulty should vanish. It may be, of cause, that some of the success of the party must be discnur.ted as arising from the circumstances of its being rut ng the first student social affairs of the year. Kven so, however, a good beginning has beer. made, and the committee in charge need only follow up its in augural success to insure a kind of party f- l which the campus has long felt a need. in l.iiumoie Mio na.l oincreci from I'd grocer a jar of sliced cu- ,..,:ol,. i mi'l.-ies The nii'ldes bad ' cost her thirty-five c ents.

I sliced pickles dehveied at her dooi and oiiciiiiiImts in the ', market was too great. 1 The committee thought so too. 1 The committee thiamin so too, and j they set out to investigate the matter They ound that the giow ' er of those cm umbels hail n high j cost ol production rent on the land, cost of ferl illzei and imple ' ments i ost ol hi'ed men, cost Oi I risk, co.-t ol transpoi ting the crop to town And the vegetable grow er complained that he could not make anv m. m y. Next the committee lolil'.d that the whole-. 1 1 i had a bos! of serv j ice costs to pay. He had capital j invested m buildings; he had in , sin , -ince on his buildings and risk , mi the perishable products: he had ' woi kers in the plant, stenogra- pliers, salesmen and others to pay; he had 1 1 anspm tation costs out to , the letailets to whom he sold. All : th" time the co.-t of services put ! into that jar of pickles was rising. A t.(l the wholesaler eomplaine't that he could not make much profit. The grocer also h.'id capital in , ve.-ted in his building, and in stor age room, and in i e! i igei ation. And th.' grocer bad tn pay a host i f sales cleiks. and office help for onnected 1 casn customer.', and more office help to take care of custoineis 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 ma le the complaint. More services piled up. and the grocery man complained that it was diffi cult for him to make money. W hen the Committee of Agricul tuial Inquiry got back to the lady who had complained because she only got two cucumbers for thirty five cents, about the only thing they could tell her was that then? 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 rendeied those sei vices had to be paid. That paying for all those services had made it impossible to get the pickle to her for any less than thirty-five cents. And thai the only way the cost to her could be reduced would be to find some way to l educe the number of serv ices. And then that lady sat down and figured out that if she had bought two pickles m the vegetable mai k. t. paid catfaio down to the mar ket and back, paid f..r all the ma te: sals to put up the pickles, pait h. r maid to do the woik. and paid to have the refuse hauled awa, her jar of pickles would probably have cost more than it did to old. them fri m the g:oc cr. in lion- Traditions licallv orU. from China, land of confusion, liadilion vs. "modernity," comes a tab which the university m gen cm! anil its student leaders particular, might well heed.

Thus far everybody is happy In cluding the Hoii. fioiicral Kansu is, of coiuse, several thousand miles away from the university campus. Yet, strangely enough, the problems ot both are similar. The Kansiians convinced their ; ontical mogul that traditions are pleasant, innocent pastimes, and are often very heneficinl. May the Californians do likewise! Daily Californium lees as lone; ns the sun slimes. They are confide lit that by con tinuing this practice they will be protected against contagious .and infectious diseases. There came a time when nearly all of Kansu's sag. , elderly lead ers had passed, their places not filled by the younger men of the province. So a new governor was sent to Kansu, Cell.

"I', stioy this tradi tion and you permanently wreck an innocent custom, a vital part of Kansu," they advised the governor, "discretion 'is the belter part of valor," they reminded him. Wonder of wonders, they persuaded him not to act until he had seen the custom in effect, until he was sure of what he was doing.

The lederal govei nment s ex tensive reduction in veterans' re lief was one of the best things that has ever happened to the Amer- i lean Legion. ! Through promises of obtaining governmental aid for ex-service imen, the American Legion was able to build up one of the most politically influential organizations m the country, int.il rresiueni Roosevelt 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 raclu leers" and "treas- ury raiders" were opprobrious epi thets hurled at the Legion. President Itoosevelt's economy bill caused gloat hardship to thou I sands of veterans and their depend lents. This fact has made it neces sary for the: Legion to revamp its program to prevent veterans who do not need and who do not de 1 serve ai l from sharing the govern I ment's lelief appropiiations. As the time of the annual con ! vent ion of the Legion nears, offi ! cials are laying plans to see to it : that only deserving veterans and those who were; actually disabled i while in service are placed on the j federal payroll. They have recog ; nized that the Legion can no longer j continue its quondam policy of I getting all it can out of the gov i eminent. Oklahoma Daily.
