Give the Corn
Cobs a Chance!
rELEGATION of rally supervisory powers is to
be made by the Student Council Wednesday aft
ernoon at a special meeting.
During: the last few years Innocents society
has had control of campus rallies, but this fall Corn
Cobs and Tassels are offering the senior men's hon
orary a challenge In regard to this important func
tion. These two organizations contend that a
Joint committee representing both groups should
logically have charge of pep demonstrations, since
they are the pep clubs on the campus.
Tassels have repeatedly demonstrated their
ability and usefulness. For this reason they have
every right to expect to aid in supervising rallies.
Corn Cobs have constantly exhibited a spirit
far removed from that a pep group should possess.
But the men's pep club has revised its constitution
during the past year, and is now champing at the
bit, eager to accomplish deeds so long left undone.
. They feel it is unjust thst they should any longer
be a pep club in name only.
Such a move as delegation of the power of con
ducting rallies to Corn Cobs and Tassels would be
xperiTnentjU and far from dangerous. There is no
danger because the Student Council can at any
time revoke the move if the power is handled care
lessly and inefficiently.
It is argued by opponents of Corn Cob control
that they have demonstrated no ability to manage
pep functions. In the first place they have never
been given the chance to handle them. The only
way to determine their ability or lack of such is to
experiment.
Politics aren't kept out of the picture with an
Innocent in charge. In fact, if that man so wishes,
be can control Corn Cob policies to his own advant
age by appealing to them through their ambitions.
The ambition possessed by many is to be a mem
ber of Innocents society. The editor of the Nebras
kan believes that politics won't be as strong a
factor as before in the organization if Corn Cobs
are given rally supervisory powers.
Will the Student Council give Corn Cobs a
chance to demonstrate their ability to cooperatively
and independently of outside rulers conduct rallies ?
If it doesn't work it won't have to be continued.
ATT. Corn Cob revenue comes from program sale
made by members at football games to Memor
ial stadium. Without this function Corn Cobs would
go out of existence. If Corn Cobs become extinct
there would be no men's pep club on this campus.
That condition would be disastrous as far as stu
dent spirit is concerned, and student spirit is very
necessary in any college or university. Reasons for
this necessity were listed in Sunday's editorial con
cerning student athletic tickets.
At present the athletic department is threaten
ing to offer to freshmen athletes the function of
Belling programs. If such a change is made, Ne
braska can be rightly accused of direct subsidiza
tion of athletes, because these salesmen would work
on commission.
At football games Corn Cobs lend color to the
setting, and spectators at games, spotting the dis
tinctive uniforms, know to whom they can go for
programs or information of any kind.
It is sad but true that at just the time when
Corn Cobs are being fired with a new enthusiasm
the life of the organization is threatened.
By granting the program sales concession to
Corn Cobs, as usual, this fall the Athletic depart
ment can avoid a charge of subsidization and also
peed a worthy organization on the road to what
msy well be new success. Corn Cobs have faithfully
worked for the athletic department and Husker
football crowds in the past
a
v TOW for a word to Corn Cobs as an organization
aiming for better days.
The Daily Nebraskan's best wishes are with
you as long as you try to attain new heights as a
pep organization. But if you fall, the Nebraskan
will rue the day when it hailed you as comers, and
will say you aren't worth your salt.
A Word of
A ppreciation.
The letters printed this morning in the Student
Pulse column pleases the editor greatly. He has
been credited with doing the Seemingly Impossible
arousing a member of this docile student body to
action, or at least to strong words.
In last Friday's Nebraskan the editor delivered
K harangue concerning this recently vexatious reg
istration problem. Our contributing reader baa very
kindly supplemented the editor's opinions as ex
pressed last week.
There is no doubt but what there Is very much
ef a problem, one which can be solved with a bit
' of thought on tbe part of the administration, assign
ment committee, awad faculty Peuavts. Crciiniitinrfal
demand action, and It should b forthcoming at th
next faculty meeting.

Discourse
On GooneStepping.
TO THE EDITOR:
Your appeal to the. "namby-pamby" student
body shall not be scorned. Only your urgent editor
ial has evoked this letter; so take dus credit to
jourself.
After all I am just another one of these invinc
ibly patient fellow students who feel Irritation when
thoroughly mistreated by ths administration and
then recover spontaneously and harbor no ill feel
ings. And I am thoroughly convinced that on the
whole student body is tha best natured aggrega
tion of people to bt found In ths state. Witness the
behavior of the students during registration week!
I understand from the latest issue of the Rag
that the assignment committee was the cause of the
delay. I also see that we are promised a better
line-up for next semester. Hence I have no real
cause for indignation any longer except that, in
general, I am indignant at the absence of indigna
tion In the student body.
I happened to talk with two adult specials who
were caught in the duuiness of registration dur
ing the last week. The venum with which they as
sailed the administration was a source of amaze
ment but of satisfaction to me. Students are dis
ciplined all through ths public school and In uni
versity into the realization of the fact that they are
being educated on tax-payers money. Their hu
mility resulting from this realization is in its way
really admirable. But I wonder If students are not
admirable and humble to a fsult
Taxpayers who had to submit to the registra
tion process this year are nettled beyond descrip
tion. They are accustomed to being treated with
relative decency and not prepared for the utter dis
regard with their time and comfort were treated.
They were ready to wreak their vengeance upon the
person or persons responsible for the delay to the
utmost extent If there were a few more of them
every year, there would be more action on the part
of the administration, who, in my opinion, have
been spoiled by the invincible patience and humility
and good-nature on the part of students.
IX the faculty had to deal with the general
public rather than with students, there would have
been considerable scurrying around done in the vi
cinity of the assignment committee. Perhaps extra
help would have been employed. After all, extra
help and more efficient management would have
cost the school and the state no more money than
is wasted in less self-evident ways in the whole two
day delay in getting classes under way this semes
ter. The fsculty and administration are, however,
pampered and spoiled by the good nature of the
students. That is why we are humble to a fault, to
my way of thinking. We demand no efficiency, no
resourcefulness on the part of the administration.
As a consequence a loss of time accrues, which con
sidering that in aggregate it amounts to two full
days multiplied by the number of students enrolled
this semester, is tremendous. Money is lost, not
only by the school but by the students. (I, for one,
missed altogether eight hours of work at thirty-five
cents per hour, and was in danger of losing my job.)
And there was the student body, pale and apa
thetic, but with a fixed glassy-eyed smile, reclining
on the seats in the balcony, standing in line, sit
ting in front of the assignment committee, numb
with ennuie. dizzy from being turned around and
sent backv but steadily patient and tolerant, like
so many stupid (and not admirable) cattle Mean
while, the faculty tipped back in their chairs, or
sat on tables and swung their legs, smiling and ex
changing pleasantries. Smug, dogmatic, inflexible
in their Inefficiency, and indifferent
A RED.
Why the
Gravel?
TO THE EDITOR:
I wish someone could please explain why the
purchasing department of the university saw fit to
lay gravel along the north side of R street from
11th to 12th or if they did not do it why did they
permit someone else to do it
Many improvements which were made upon the
campus lawn this past summer are commendable,
but this is not one of them. It creates and gives
one an impression that he is viewing a piece of
grade school land where due to necessity it becomes
necessary to put something in place of grass which
will not stand tbe wear and tear that school chil
dren are accustomed to giving it
It not only creates a bad impression from one's
artistic standpoint but it also lesves one filled with
disgust when he is forced to walk across it and
comes out on the other side with bis shoes full of
gravel. This may only be a small matter in re
tarding the "campus beautiful," a term which one
of our Ivy day orators chose to use a few years sgo,
tut still I for one would like to see it replaced with
eod. I. A. H.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
h He
Quibbling?
"Learning for learning's sake cannot survive
amid a tumult of students' clubs and students' ac
tivities, a fierce and continued excitement of con
tested games, enthusiastic politics, student elections
and mimic journalism," warns Prof. Stephen Lea
cock of McGill University. "Student activities are
destroying the student. Soon we must set up in the
campus a monolith, to tbe unknown student'."
Pretty strong words. Professor Le acock! State
ments so emotional and Irrational that one is forced
to the conclusion that tbe learned gentleman Is
quibbling or rather seeking free publicity for him
self. Le acock chooses to believe that all undergrad
uates participating in activities are doomed as stu
dents, and conversely, that all who do not partici
pate in activities are evidently good students. True,
many activities workers are willing to "just get by"
academically, realizing the valuable practical train
ing they are receiving from their activities. An ac
tivities undergraduate may be but a fair student; In
later life, be Is a good, practical man.

In the meantime It was a series
of Interviews, radio talks, and
handshaking. At a large banquet
in his honor that evening Mr. Far-
lev and our president were ac
claimed at great length by Con-
rressman Burke er NenrssKa ana
other speakers who typified the
spirit of democracy of the several
states, participating in the various
ceremonies.
As a last word of greeting to
Nebraska students prior to his de
parture for Fargo, N. D., Mr. Far-
Icy said: "our country must oe
kept together by youth and the
young people now attending school
in our many universities ana col
leges are the ones who will take
over the ship of state and lead us
on in the generation to come. That
is why the students cannot be and
will not be neglected by our pres
ent administration. The future oi
the country depends upon them,
and I am sure we shall not be dis
appointed." After spending three
days observing a man of Mr. Far
ley's caliber one cannot but appre
ciate the type of leaders at the
head of our government His radi
ant personality and ready smile
earn him friends wherever he goes,
and how he can keep up the pace
dav after day is bevond human
imagination. A continual round of
being before the puDiic eye ana
having to be congenial to all who
come is not a pleatant job for any
one, but for the No. 1 politician
of the democratic party it is all
in 'a day's work.
From his pictures one cannot
appreciate Mr. Farley. He is a
gentleman who would stand out in
any group in spite of his position.
He towers well over six feet and
be could easily qualify for fullback
on any football squad. He is un
usually handsome and his pleasing
personality cannot soon be forgot
ten. Either Mr. Farley or Presi
dent Roosevelt will probably pay
a visit to Lincoln and the univer
sity campus within the next couple
months and the student body can
at that time meet personally one
of the most important men of the
country.
