'S a climax to preparatory work of the year two important organizations begin their serious ac tivity tonight, Tuesday, when they launch definite eteps for reforming and revitalizing their member ship. One of the organizations is the Interfraternity council, which decides the fate of long-pending re organization plans. The other is the Inter-club council which takes first steps in strengthening bard unity. Both councils face the year with big tasks to perform, and both will have taken deci sive steps toward or against the performance of those steps after their meetings tonight. The Interfraternity council delegates will ballot on plans calculated to place matters of Greek administration and legislation beyond the pale of politics. The Interclub council represent atives will not deal with such a critical issue, but their meeting is equally important, for they will show tonight whether progress in barb organization Is to continue or to retrogress. tt3 last meeting the Greek council showed some (encouraging signs of entering into re-organization whole-heartedly and completely, but the ballot on proposals was delayed until the temper of the fraternity chapters themselves could be deter mined. Now, returning fortified with the approval of their houses, the delegates can proceed to the elimination of politics which they approved so strongly at the council's earlier meeting. And once that cleanup is effected, the Greek legislators will ire in a position to make of their organization the strong body it should be. Strengthened and vitalized by delegates who can look beyond the narrow limits of their own political ambitions, Nebraska fraternities will have a council that can in turn strengthen them. Mem bership in the council has too long been but a step to the Icnocency, and to see the representatic n on a new basis ought to be the incentive for some valuable endeavors among the Greeks. Certainly those endeavors are necessary if campus fraternities are to wipe out petty rivalries and keep step with the changing scene in Ameri can colleges. And just how necessary they are will probably appear to beter advantage after the Na tional Interfraternity council meeting in Chicago in two weeks when fraternity trends and potentiali ties will be discussed in the light of actual existing problems. For the present, reorganization has the track at tonight's Interfraternity council meeting, just as it will be the center of Interclub council activity for the evening. For both bodies the evening is an important one. It may well be the decisive meet ing of the year for each organization, determining whether the future will hold progress, or retrogression. it'." Have you bought 'It0' The student athletic ticket drive enters Its sec ond day this morning, and the question "Have yon bought yours yet?" la a pertinent one. To go even further, the Nebraskan hopes that the ques tion if yon are among the hangers-on who have not bought their tickets yet is even embarrassing With early reports showing a tifty per-ent In crease in the sale of tickets to non-student tuns, university students ouht to feel embarrassed if they hesitate to purchase their season hooks. Stu dents are integral parts of the institution which the nthletio teams represent, and it would be a sorty thing if they did not feel called upon to surpass the i efforts of outside supporters.

Alons with many other changes, a compulsory student tax was put into etieot this fall; each student was required to pay $3.75 before he was em oiled in school. Contrarv to expectations, there was little complaint to this nick in the students" pockctbooks. The fellow who was least able to pay w .is usually the one who was most enthusiastic about the new tax.

TLEVATING infoimality to an institutionalized plane of carefully organized co-operative en deavor: Paradoxical, isn't it? Yet that's one of the seasonal activities of the g ills' senior honorary society, the Mortar Boards, and Friday involved preparations will be culminated in the usual feeble way with a few scattered greetings. The occasion is " Hello Day." a relic ot former years, into which some faint signs ot life were breathed three years ago when the Mortar Boards were looking for something to do. As it has worked, and gives every sign of con tinuing to work this fall, -Hello Day" is the day when some half a dozen freshmen women are very much surprised to find themselves being timidly or sometimes brazenly greeted by a few self-conscious upperclasswomen. The ideal supposed to be at the bottom of all this, in the words of the spon sors, is to "create a united Cornhusker spirit" and to "secure and promote a belter feeling of co-operation among all university students." The ideal is generally conceded to be a worthy one, but almost no other method could be so ill adapted to attaining it. Tvpicallv American is this left-handed at- the Idea seems to be gaining friends among educators. The proposal has Its sound points. Students In Its educational Institutions are among a country's best Investments. For more of the nation's energetic and ambitious young people to be fitted for spe cialized work would be national in surance against future difficulties such as the ones through which we are passing.

The RFC probably will want a demand on the part of the students themselves before installing such a program.

The monev collected through the student tax, will be distributed among the major extra-curricular activities of the campus Ath letics. Fine Arts programs. Work shop. Forensics. the Savitar, the Missouri Student, and the Student Government association. Formerly, a Savitar cost five : dollars a season, a year's ticket for 1 fine arts programs cost five dol lars for downstairs seats and three 1 dollars for balcony seats, a season ticket for Workshop productions was priced at three dollars (plus ' assessments for one-act plays). ' and a year's subscription for a ' four-page Missouri Student cost I fifty cents. An athletic activity j ticket cost six dollars and fifty ' cents.

The very fundamental value that acciues to informal greeting is more than destroyed when an attempt is made to organize and dispense "hellos" formally. The value is trampled on, held up to redi cule, disgraced. "Hello," symbolic amicable greet ing, certainly denotes a kind of social spirit a unity, but to place it in the gap of tradition as a means of organized promotion cf "a feeling of co operation among all university students" is prob ably one of the most absurdly futile projects ever attempted on this campus College IIt Crlle lloUir dozen sets of hum-drum reasons Is not so easy to do. One of the most agonizing situ ations that a contestant can find himself In is to reason himself out of his placing. That Is, when he comes to analyze in his mind the reasons tor placing A over B, he discovers that there was no reason for doing It. that he had failed to see the animals as they were. Then he has to stand up and lie to the judge. He has to tell the judge whv A w.s superior to B when he knows all the time that A was not. Such a situation leaves the contestant with an empty feel ing. He can't put much "punch" into what he has to say. But after it's all over, and the banquet comes in the evening, and the awards are announced, even the student who had to stand up and tell lies to the judge sees how much the experience has been worth to him.
