THAT Nebraska fraternity men realize effective
legislation must be passed to regulate rush
week next fall Is apparent, judging from sugges
tions proposed at the last meeting of the interfra
ternity council.
The latest step toward fraternity co-operation
was advanced Tuesday evening when it was sug
gested that dues and accounts of all fraternities
be placed on file in the office of the Dean of Stu
dent Affairs. This would presumably enable incom
ing freshmen to examine honest figures of fratern
ity expenses. At the same time measures were re
ferred to the special rushing committee recommend
ing a limit to rushing expenditures and the elimi
nation of special inducements to rushees.
If effectively put into operation fraternity men
will eliminate at one stroke several obnoxious ap
pendages to the campus rush season. We suspect,
however, that their enforcement will suffer the
usual fate accorded revised rushing rules. Perhaps,
however, this year will be dl'ferent.
It is plainly apparent that rush week next fall
will claim more than the ordinary share of the
Greek undergraduates' attention. For many chap
ters should acknowledge that a poor rushing season
will mean certain extinction. With th's in mind, it
seems rather ridiculous for fraternity men to thumb
their noses at members of another club who are
seeking a way out of the financial entanglements.
A small degree of co-operation would aid immeas
urably the fraternity system on this campus.
The establishment of the alumni council will quite
obviously help this program along. In fact we be
lieve that it will be a most effective instrument in
disillusioning Greeks to face the actual facts of
Uie situation. At least a review of fraternity activ.
tiy since the creation of this organization would
bear out this conclusion.
And well might Greeks adopt a realistic attitude
in facing their problems. Indications from other
university campuses reveal that the fraternity sys
tem is definitely on the spot With this in mind they
are presumably taking steps to rectify a sad situa
tion. While at Nebraska an honest attempt is being
made to revamp the fraternity system, on other
campuses it is being abolished. As such, events
transpiring on this campus recently may be re
gaided as significant gestures.
The present movement at Nebraska should be en
couraged by undergraduate fraternity members.
Indeed they should cast aside petty illusions of tra
dition and adjust themselves to a realistic situation.
Contemporary Comment
Evaluating
Scholastic Attainment.
Campus scholars came into their own last week
end when, in Saturday's issue of The Daily Student,
the announcements were made that 31 freshman
coeds had won places on the Mortar Board recogni
tion list; Beta Gamma Sigma, commerce scholastic,
had initiated seven pledges; Phi Eta Sigma had
pledged 39 freshman men, and Eta Sigma Phi, hon
orary Greek and Latin society, had inducted six
students.
The chief objective of higher education is to learn
with the purpose of being able to live a saner,
broader, more intelligent life. Without a means of
measurement education is only relative. The various
campus scholastic organizations furnish the yard
stick by which the scudent can measure tangible
evidence of his progress in education.
Those who have been honored are to be com
mended for the measure of success which they have
achieved, yet scholastic success alone does not
measure perfectly a student's progreFs. It is only
the first step because with only book-learning the
student can not look forward to a well-rounded fu
ture. Life beyond the campus generally takes full
account of scholastic attainments, but it expects
something more.
To better adapt oneself to useful living, the stu
dent should strive to achieve a thorough knowlelge
of social niceties, the ability to converse intelli
gently on both current and classical subjects, a
olid grounding in politics and the ability to com
mand as well as serve others. Here extra-curricular
activities assume more than a passing importance.
Through these the student is enabled to throw a
light dim though it may be upon life after grad
uation. The full advantage of higher education is
not gained in the classroom alone. Do not allow
your diplomat j mean only the attainment of certain
scholastic standards, but let it show the results of
achiev.ments on the campus, as well as In the
classnom. Indiana Daily Student.

NEGLECTED CLEAN-UPS.
The Block and Bridle Club's very successful Jun
ior Ak-Sar-Ben was presented nearly a month ago.
But their over-sized announcement card is still
adorning the Ag hall bulletin board.
Now the boys' show was very interesting, but
people don't want to be kept reminded of it for
ever. The sign was a very attractive one, but prob
ably not enough of a work of art that students will
want to look at it as they go to and from the li
brary from now until June.
Most of the things that are tacked up on the
bulletin board are worthless, of course. The things
occupying the space being worthless means that
space itself is worthless. Hence the space might as
well be filled by a month-out-of-date Block and
Bridle Club sign as with anything else. But it would
at least give the board a variety of appearance to
have an occasional change.
It is well known, of course, that no one ever
reads the bulletin board. That is, almost no one
does. But there may just be a few students so
anomolous that they actually do read the bulletin
board. And if they do, of course it would be rea
sonable to suppose they would rather read some
thing not a month out of date.
So, all in all, it might just be worth while for
the Block and Bridle boy who put up that sign to
go to the trouble to tako it down.
DAIRY COW TALK.
The Varsity Dairy Club members and a number
of other students assembled Wednesday night to
hear M. L. Flack discuss the dairy code and the
proposed dairy production control program. Mr.
Flack has been in Washington the past six or eight
months working in the dairy division of the AAA,
and the boys expected him to present a very clear
cut picture of what dairymen may expect from the
government What Mr. Flack gave was rather less
than that
The reason Mr. Flack gave less "inside dope" on
the dairy program than he might, perhaps, have
given is rather amusingly apparent Mr. Flack has
been a government worker at Washington. Gov
ernment workers give out iio information. Goverii
ment workers are reminded constantly that they
are to give out no information, that they are to
permit no "leaks." Information, when it goes out
to the public, goes out from the officials.
So Mr. Flack has been sold on the idea that he
is not the one to let the public in on what is hap
pening in Washington conferences. The things he
told the dairy students, therefore, were not par
ticularly illuminating as to what is to befall dairy
men. Not the lowest of "low down." perhaps, was Mr.
Flack's discussion, but many of his facts were note
worthy and his stories entertaining. It is note
worthy, for example, and contrary to rather wide
spread opinion, that consumers are not opposed to
paying ten cents or more a quart for milk if they
know the producer is getting his fair share of the
ten cents. He's a kind of an honest fellow, the con
sumer, who is willing to be fair if he knows how.
Three problems that have kept dairy authorities
guessing as to how best to work out a production
control program, Flack said, are these: (1) how to
levy and collect a processing tax; (2) what to do
with the cows taken out of production; and (3)
just when is a farmer a dairy farmer and when is
he a beef farmer. The East and South, Flack said,
are both opposed to a processing tax. The middle
west is passive, and it is the middle we"t that would
get taxed. For it produces '.he surplus.
Discussing the actual set-up in Washington, the
speaker said there are 80,000 people there working
on government projects. In the Department of Ag
riculture they work shifts, a gang of girls starting
at 4:30 a. m. and working until 11 a. m., and then
another gang starting. Very often, he said, the men
in charge of the work stayed on the job through
two shifts from 8 a. m. to 11 p. m.
There are about 25,000,000 dairy cows in the
United States, Flack said, and the government's
job is to get rid of 2,000,000 of them. One plan sug
gested to do that job he said was a program of
cow testing and culling in all the important dairy
states. The government would pay for the testing.
That Idea particularly appealed to the dairy club
men, for an extensive cow testing program would
create a large number of jobs. But that plan, un
fortunately, has been abandoned.
The thought the speaker left with the group was
an important one: that efficiency of production is
still the keynote of successful farming. The Ne
braska extension department's program has l-en
sound, he said, for it has laid its emphasis on ef
ficiency more milk or beef from a few good cows
and more crops from a few good acres rather than
on expansion more cows and more acres. The
farmer who will profit is still the one who gets
large returns per unit

LAWRENCE, Kas March 29.
What little gold there is in Kan
sas is not worth mining, according
to an article in the Kansas Engi
neer by E. D. Kinney, member of
the University of Kansas faculty.
The rise in price of gold from
$20.60 to $35 an ounce has created
interest thruout the country in the
mining of gold, even In Kansas,
where small quantities of gold are
known to exist
Professor Kinney says in his ar
ticle that both the mining and the
metallurgical departments of the
university have received many
samples for assay. Included in the
samples have been several of iron
purites, or "fool's gold," a com
paratively worthless material.
"Various places along the Re
publican river in north central
Kansas are at present receiving
attention of prospectors," says
Professor Kinney. Samples sent
to the metallurgical department
have assayed from nothing up to
70 cents per ton in gold. The aver
age has been 14.6 cents.
"To complicate the situation, the
gold in the samples received ap
pears to exist in the form known
as "float gold." That is, it occurs
in extremely thin, small flakes
that are difficult to recover by the
conventional water concentration
method, whicn as would naturally
be used for a low-grade placer deposit."
STUDENT
PULSE
TO THE EDITOR:
Activity workers and embryo B.
M. O. C.'s are in action. The mo
tion of stirred waters is discern
able in the distance. It's only a
few weeks until spring elections
will be held, and shortly following,
Nebraska's greatest tradition. Ivy
Day, will put in its annual appear
ance. All very well and good, and
necessary portions of the student
life. But what of the results ? Too
often these events are considered
fine old traditions, and nothing
more.
Lacking them, something im
portant would be missed from the
campus, but even as they are there
is something that is conspicuous
by its absence. And that is the
candidates for the honors. At
least until a very few weeks be
fore the names are to be placed
on this or that ballot, or until it
becomes necessary to be seen once
or twice about the campus before
Ivy Day recognition.
If history repeats itself, and it
has never failed year in and year
out, activity workers will begin
being busy within a reasonably
short time. It is uncanny the
amount of energetic hopping can
didates can do when the political
pudding is abuot to be dispensed.
Then, and only then (almost) is it
known just who is who among
thnne who would he a who's who on
Nebraska campus. Such is the
situation and such it has probably
been for a long time. The remedy
lies in the hands of those who pur
port to be activities men and wo
men. They are seeking positions
in the campus sun or thev wouldn't
be working, for the most part, at I
all. It seems to roe that there is j
room fur many more earnest
workers. The publications offer j
positions to nearly seventy-five j
students, not to mention other ac-1
tivity centeis. Observation of these j
centers will reveal a much smaller
number actually participating un
til, perhaps shortly before election, j
meetings of the publications boatd
or the eventful day in May. 1
Why can't those who desire po- j
sition take upon themselves the re-1
