Readev Tells Group That
Common Trend Is Toward

believes J. C. Readey, Chicago, 111.,
head. o4 relief; garden work for the
Illinois emerafency relief commis
sion, who addressed a community
gardens short course assemblage
here recently.
Fifty-two county relief garden
workers and other Iowans inter
ested in relief gardens were regis
tered for the two-day snort course,
tn first to be held here.
Mr. Readey, one of the country's
leading authorities on reuei gar
Amine, outlined at a dinner luch
on the Illinois subsistence garden
nian considered bv many as a
model.
,th -ardens in-the Illinois plan
am atandarized so as to effect
economy. In administration, organ
ization and management, Mr.
Rde brought out They are of
two general sires one of 5,000
square feet for families up to six
members and one of 7,500 square
feet for families over six members.
They are community gardens with
individual plots with but few ex
ceptions, according to Mr. Readey.
He said that each gardener fol
lows the same plan of planting so
that an entire community garden
may be horse-cultivated. The same
vegetables are grown in each
garden In order to economize in
seed buying and management.
The garden plan is optional with
each county, Mr. Readey went on
and within a county operating a
gardes is optional with the unem
ployed; Gardens are available to
those Only on relief lists, he added.
Mr. Readey takes the position
that most unemployed men would
rather work for relief than have it
doled out Under the Illinois plan,
If a man elects to work a garden
he gets the fruits of the garden,"
according to Mr. Readey. He said
that $o.95 is deducted from the
gardener's regular relief allotment
after his garden has produced the
equivalent of that amount. This is
used by the commission in financ
ing Its program.

FACULTY SENATE
TO DECIDE FATE
VARSITY PARTIES
(Continued from Page 1.)
the year would be up to the discre
tion of the. committee in charge.
The plan as adopted by the
council provides that the commit
tee shall be composed of two repre
sentatives from each of the four
organizations, the Panhellenic
council, Interfraternity council,
Barb A, W. S. league, and the In-
terclub council. All members of
the committee would be seniors.
Each of the four organizations
would nominate four candidates
from its membership for places on
the committee and the Student
council would select two from
each of the groups. The chairman
would be elected by the committee.
The council at that time ruled
that no member of the Student
council could serve on the com
mittee. A standing committee
within the Student council would
be appointed to review the activi
ties of the group in charge of the
parties. This group would also
act as official organ of the council
in matters of minor importance,
concerning the parties. The top
price would be 75c according to
prescription made by the council.
A week after tne provision
passed the Student council the
Barb council and Imerclub coun
cil, which previously had an
nounced opposition to the plan,
presented a petition to the faculty
committee. If this petition with
its objection had not been filed the
Varsity party plan would have
automatically gone into effect fol
lowing the council approval.
At present the Barb council is
operating the Varsity parties, and
is petitioning in protest against
being deprived of that function. .
In the Barb petition are eleven
reasons for the retention of Vars
ity party operation in the bands of
the Barbs. The main plea is that
the Barb council has handled the
parties well, is financially success
ful, and that previous to Barb
assumption of party control five
years ago a student council com
mittee compiled , aericu.
Below are listed some or me
reasons advanced by the Barbs as
to why the Student council snouid
not be given the power to operate
Varsitv parties under the new
committee system:
1. The present All-University
system has functioned well for five
years. It haj paid for itself. No
permanent debt has been incurred.
And the University of Nebraska
has at no previous time had such
consistently outstanding parties,
music and decorations.
2. The parties now provided
under sponsorship of the vara
Council encouragod participation
by students who are more or less
timid and unacaualnted. and who
do not have other adequate social
opportunities.
(This refers to the fact that
more or less of s "mixer system"
Is preserved. Dates are not neces
sary, either oy ruie or cusiuuj.
Hundreds of students attend these
parties to get acquainted with new
people.)
3. Under the proposed plan, tne
probable tendency in a short time
would be to eliminate the "mixer
system," Fraternity students are
frankly opposed to the mixer. All
University Parties would tend to
become purely "date" affairs oy
force of custom which is ironclad
among fraternity and sorority par
ties on this campus. This would de
stroy one of the greatest values ft
the All-University parties.
4. The fraternity students, whose
attendance the proposed plan
would encourage, are not in need
of further social opportunities.

only be'eiause OT the large majority
of fraternity parties which keep
them busv and dated ur.
(The original motive for the
Barb Council undertaking the All
University parties was to provide
the kind of social opportunities
needed by, and unavailable to, the
students who are not in such a for
tunate position. This objective is
certainly more worthy than of
simply creating another colossal
fraternity style party.)
5. There is no need for frater-
nlty students to interfere in thej
management of the present parties :
in order to be welcome at those'
parties and to enjoy them. All stu
dents are welcome at these parties, .
and if fraternity students wish to
attend in greater numbers, they
may. (All fraternity and sorority'
parties could be closed on nights
of All-University parties under the
present system if the fraternity
students were really so anxious to
attend these parties en masse. Why
jdo not the Pan-Hellenic and inter-
i fraternity groups, or the Student
'Council try that? In other words,
the fraternity groups are not after
more general attendance at the
parties they are truly after Greek
control of the parties).
6. A party committee with
Greek participation will inevitably
become emmeshed in factional ma
chinations. Membership will be
come a political plum and the
same difficulties will arise as are
now so glaringly apparent in the
Student Council itself! (And note
that in spite of the generally ad
mitted undesirable political situa
tion in the council, it is the Stu
dent Council itself which is now
proposng this plan for your ratifi
cation.). (Note also that the old
"Varsity Party Committee" ex
tmct five years ago is a monu
ment to the undesirability of po
litical monkeying with the par
ties.)
7. The Barb Council control of
the parties at present places them
outside the range of campus po
litical factional warfare. Factions
have not yet arisen to play petty
politics within the Barb ranks.
8. To the Barb Council goes
the entire and unquestioned credit
for the development of the fine
system of All-University parties
which we now enjoy. Management
of these parties is a worthy Barb
tradition, or which we are proud.
(It will be remembered perhaps
that the Barb Council took over
the parties after the old "Varsity
Party Committee" was abolished
because it bad become a political
instrument, and hsd failed miser
ably had even sunk to graft and
piled up a $2,000 debt.)
9. The Barb Council is itself an
excellent agency through which a
good number of non-fraternity
students may be active in serving
their university. It will not be de
nied that in general Barb students
tend elsewhere to be crowded out
of places of leadership by virtue
of political factional strife. The
Barb Council therefore should be
preserved, by all means, for the
good of the whole student body.
The Barb Council is the only non
fraternity organization conceived
and created by Barbs themselves.
10. The proposed plan would
nearly, if not entirely, kill the
Barb Council and thereby elimi
nate a worthy Barb institution.
Four positions would be open on
the proposed committee ( for
Barbs) whereas eighteen are open
now in the Barb Council.
11. It remains that the only ap
parent reason for creating the pro
posed committee would be to give
the fraternities a 50 percent con
trol of the management of the
parties. All other ends can be
achieved under the present system.
We believe that to make the
change would be to sacrifice the
very existence of the Barb Coun
cil, and to sacrifice certain funda
mental and worthy values In the
parties themselves. What possible
benefit could result which would
be worth such a price?

secrecy was cf Uttle moment, but
the expenses of such organizations,
their clannishness, and the man
agsment of class affairs which
leads to habits of intrigue and the
practice of the low arts of the poli
tician made them undesirable. He
was of the opinion 'hat they in
tensify peculiarities of tastes and
habits until these harden into fixed
defects of character. The only
point upon which tho Hesperian
agrees with him is that their an
nual conventions and activities are
a serious interruption of college
work.
"Struggles of Life," "Concen
tration," and "Improvement" were
other favorite topics of disserta
tion while for some time a serial
story ran on "The Unknown
Heirs " .
The first June issue of the Hes
perian Student contains but one
advertisement. It was inserted by
t'ae university and signed by
Chancellor A. R. Benton in an at
tempt to lure prospective students
to the seat of learning. The ad
(reads, "The university of the state
I was opened last September under
favorable conditions and thus far
has been prosperous and success
ful."
In those days, a five dollar en
trance fee was charged and board
could be obtained for from three to
five dollars a week, At that time,
the university was apparently sat'
isfied with the share of state ap
propriaions which fell to it. The
advertisement reads, "The institu
tion is liberally supplied with ap
paratus, cabinet, library and all
needful facilities for illustrating
subjects taught. The philosophi
cal and chemical apparatus is es
pecially large and valuable."
The most interesting feature in
the publication was a column in
titled "Campus Canards." Mr,
Webster defines a canard as a fe
male duck. Some of the para
graphs include: "Another letter
has been lost by one of the young
ladies. Pshaw, girls, the boys are
growing indignant. This leaving
letters around so loose is growing
monotonous." "We state officially
that the well on the north side of
the university has been cleaned
and a pump put in and now con
tains drinkable water. Water pity
that these improvements have not
been attended to sooner.
"The new crop of moustaches of
this term is so infinitesimal that
the whole school are beginning to
wear eyeglasses. It is hard on the
eyes to look at such small articles
of apparel.
The fraternities are hardly men
tioned in the Hesperian. They were
in tne process of beine: organized,
and the editors seemed to take an
unkind attitude toward them. In
one issue appeared, "A new fra
ternity has been organized in the
university. Phi Delta Theta is its
name. Long may it wave.
Another publication that ran
along with the Hesperian but was
rather short lived was the "Lasso."
The only copies of it now available
are from October, 1891, to April,
1892. In the first paragraph of the
first edition, it said that it does not
believe that the establishment of a
second college paper is absolutely
imperative for the welfare of the
university, but it does believe that
such a publication is opportune,
because there are now almost 700
students in the university, enough
to support several college papers.
Two of 'ts associate editors were
Miss 1 '. ise Pound and Willa
Cath-.,
Students in 1892 had evidently
the same characteristics as pres
ent-day college students for one
article was on courses of study of
fered by the faculty for the com
ing year. Chemistry I was test

ject, three hours; and Economics
Financial history of private
debts, Junior course, five hours.
In its last issue, it mentioned
the first annual which was planned
to be issued about May, 1892. It
was supposed to raise the univer
sity in the estimation cr other col
leges.
The heirs of the great Charles
Dickens finally have decided to
have published for the first time
the authors unpublished book,
'The Life of Our Lord." In his
will Dickens had left it up to his
family to decide whether or not to
publish the book.
