Note to
The Innocents
HAT happened to ths idea of
informing new students about
campus activities and organiza
tions? Occurrence of the annual all
activities tea for freshman girls
ehows up in a rather bad light the
complete absence of any similar
project for freshmen men. The
Nebraskan has no way of judging
the success or the actual merits of
the all-activities tea, but it is, at
least, an effort in the direction of
Instructing new girls in the extra
Currlcular institutions with which
they will be In contact thruout
their college years.
But Incoming men are left to
find out for themselves "what the
score is" in activities, and often it
is a long, slow and even painful
process. Thrown into a world of
which they know nothing, fresh
men are yet expected to mal:e
themselves at home in activities
which more often than not are lit
tle more; than a vast confusion to
the inexperienced student.
In recognition of the problem, It
must be admitted, at least some
effort was made to inform new
students last year, and even be
fore. Older students will recall a
meeting of the presidents of most
organizations In the spring of
1932, when the problem of Increas
ing interest in activities was posed
and it was resolved to take steps
toward definite means of inform
ing new students of the campus
activities-scheme.
As a result of that meeting, the
newly-elected members of the In
nocents society put their heads to
gether, and during the summer in
formation was compiled for an
"activities handbook," to be dis
tributed to all new students. Ade
quate means of financing the pub
lishing of such a pamphlet were
lacking when fall came, however,
and the compiled data had to be
shunted Into the columns of the
Daily Nebraskan, where it ran in
terminably in daily sections.
The use of the Nebraskan for
this purpose was not satisfactory,
and could Dot be unless a special
edition devoted solely to the intro
duction of organizations could be
&ff&iied. Ail J tutliu SUCll A-Ti edi
tion might be possible after the
passage of the "blanket tax" plan,
it Is far down the list of impossi
bilities at the present Certainly it
has been ehown to be: impossible
to maintain Interest in the bare
outline of the activities structure
when the material must be strung
out from day to day over a long
period of time.
ND now, for another ycur.
treshmen remain uniniormed
about the university's extra-cur
ricular lite. Snatches t informa
tion they will gather, of course, as
the year progresses and as organ
ized houses make spasmodic at
tempts to "get men started in ac
tivities," but any vital and valu
able attempt to spread informa
tion about activities aniens new
men students is completely lack
ing. On the surface, that luck may
seem an unimportant thing, but
ultimately it means a disasterous
result for every activity -slow de
cline of interest and feverish ef
forts to get workers. Executive
heads among the various organiza
tions will be forced to have an
other meeting to discuss the prob
lem of diminishing interest, and
the prospect of gradual decay.
"Gradual decay" Is not overem
phasizing the seriousness of the
problem, either, for without keen
competition among many subord
inates striving fcr the top in par
ticular activities, successors to ex
ecutive positions will slowly ap
proach lower levels of ability and
efficiency.
The problem, in short, is a
problem with real foundations.
And it is, furthermore, one which
should immediately Interest the
organization about whlcn ill cam
pus activities tor men revolve the
Innocents society.
To them the campus looks tot
j solution of a variety of problems
: in activities. Can they afford to
! neglect this one, which strikes at
j thevery roots of the future of ex
tra-curricular endeavor?
Picking teachers is something
like picking wives. It would be
hard to find any two men tu agree
on the qualities to be sought in
either. --Dean Harry N. Irwin.

pALL weather and the fuct'oall
season!
Two inseparable parts of the
first semester are beginning to
make themselves fe'.t and with
annual Varsity-Frosh band benefit
clash scheduled for Saturday the
first surge of real gridiron inter
est washes over the campus.
All during the autumn football
crowds almost everything out of
the spotlight, to the exclusion,
even, or one of Its very Important
adjuncts- the band. Only once dur
ing the whole year does the band
come in fcr its share of attention,
and that one event is the occasion
when the musicians have the op
portunity of using the receipts of
the Freshman-Varsity game for
transportation expenses to one of
the out of town games.
only this ence Is the band given
attention, yet what would football
be without band music?
It is the band that makes the
rallies. It Is the band that leads the
waves of spirit that flow and
overflow in the stands at the
games themselves. Practicing,
marching, working in all kinds of
weather the band is the nucleus
arouno which student spirit grows.
Vet only once are football fans
asked to give attention to their
musicians, and this year that
once is tomorrow, Saturday. Pro
ceacis irom the game tomorrow
afternoon will be used to send the
band to one of the games away
from home, where they will carry
a big load of Nebraska spirit to
foreign soci.
Get out tor tomorrow's game,
then! Yur support of the band at
the Freshman game is as much a
part of the football spirit as your
attendance at any other game. It's
the band that makes the spirit,
and it's the spirit that makes or
breaks team morale. Get behind
the band!
Possibly the silliest sophistry
with which we have deluded our
selves is that, struggle between
species being in order in nature,
war is inevitable and natural. Al
