Let' s Show Some
Real School Spirit.
T7EDNESDAY morning a few score students, tak-
ing advantage of an opportunity to "raise hell"
made perfect fools of themselves in the name of
school spirit
Wandering up and down halls like so many
cattle following a leading bull out of whose mouth
came the cry "Rally!" the mob demonstrated what
la called spontaneous spirit, but what Is actually
rowdyism and quite opposed to true school spirit.
A student rally committee, none of whom, in
cidentally, took part in the gang scene Wednesday
forenoon, has planned a series of rallies for this
week. These pep demonstrations should provide
sufficient outlet for the desirable school spirit bub
bling over preceding the Pitt game.
Students in 10 o'clock classes performed ad
mirably for the most part, remaining quietly in
their seats while the so-called rally mob confessed
its impotence inbreaking up classes by beating on
doors, making foolish faces, and looking for the
easiest way to back out of the embarrassing predic-
ament.
Officials of the university find it quite neces
sary to hold classes even tho a football game that
Nebraska must and will win is scheduled for Satur
day afternoon. The administration has indicated
its willingness to go halfway by cooperating with
the rally committee in arranging a series of five
- rallies this week. Will the student body do its part?
Some students protest that the Wednesday pep
display is one of such demonstrations necessary in
arousing student spirit. But was the affair a rally?
Not by a long shot. Did any one hear one good,
organized yell? No! It is very evident that the
gang was merely taking advantage of an opportu
nity to let off some steam, the kind of hot air that
is dispersed by lynch mobs, and by freshman hazing
groups on other campuses.
The Nebraskan challenges you students to be
present at every one of the rallies thia week.
The Nebraskan also challenges you to cooperate
hi every way with the rally committee and univer
sity administration. Cooperation will come by way
ef compliance with rules and student committee
plans.
Mercenary
Managers.
Some campus activities men learn their lessons
well. They become mercenary while they are in
college so they won't have to endure a shock after
graduation. Kosmet Klub and Cornhusker leaders
-are resorting to commercial tactics in a pair of con
gests at the expense of fairness and open competi
tSofl. " Each fall the year book staff conducts a sub
scription campaign. Each organized women's house
hat buys fifteen yearbooks is permitted to enter a
Candidate for the section of the Cornhusker reserved
for -the girls adjudged the six most beautiful by a
nationally known critic of feminine charm. If Miss
America herself went to Nebraska but didn't live
- In an organized house she wouldn't have a China
" man's chance of appearing pictorially in the Corn-
- busker. The contest rules don't provide for true
fepresentation of the campus co-ed group in the
beauty section. Of course it is a good idea from
commercial standpoint to leave the rules as they
Are at present.
Kosmet Klub announced in the Tuesday Ne
braskan that skits presented in the Klub Fall Revue
urould be Judged according to the volume of applause
Z meted out by the audience. This provision is also
food commercially, but is rather unfair and un
" tthlcal.
." Organizations presenting skits will solicit ap-
plause votes by urging friends to attend. These
friends will offer their plaudits to the group solicit-
" tag the applause. And of course Kosmet Klub offi
" cers noted that those solicited will be paying good
J money for admission. Why aren't Judges secured
to rate the acts and award the prizes.
Pub Board Should
Z Supervise Directory.
Student directories for the year of 1834-1935
- Anally appeared on the campus for sale Tuesday,
about four weeks after the date first announced as
- that of their appearance. Meanwhile students and
Z student organizations were placed at a disadvantage
- In securing phone numbers of fellow students, and
Z the registrar's office was the only place one could
find where to locate this or that person.
- It is a fact that the editor and publisher of the
T directory this fall went thru one bad experience
after another in publishing the booklet, but it is
- also true that this campus should have a direc tory
Z on the stands fcr sale at least by the time school
2 has been in session for two or three weeks. The
- Dally Nebraskan, as a student newspaper, would
Z particularly appreciate having at hand a book of
- phone numbers as early In the year as possible. The
- presence of the directory facilitates work consld
Z erably.
" At present the Student Publications Board has
nothing to do with the publication of the Nebraska
student directory. The campus Y. M. C. A. has
charge of the job, and men wishing to do the work
apply at the office of that organization in the Tem
ple building. Since it is a thankless task, there is
usually no more than one man filing for the editor
ship. To remedy the present Intolerable situation In
reference to the directory the Student Publications
Board should be given charge of staff appointments,
and a staff of more than one person should be pro
vided. Publishing of the directory is too tremen
dous for one student to undertake.
STUDENT PULSE
Brief, concise contributions pertinent to matters of
student life and the university are welcomed by this
department, under the uburI restrictions of sound newH
paper practice, which exclurieo all libelous matter and
personal attacks. Letters must to signed, but names
will be withheld from publication if en desired.
Contributions should be limited to a maximum of flvs
hundred words in length.
Swap Shop Needs
Cooperation.
In response to the editorial appearing in last
Friday's Nebraskan with regard to the so-called
book rackets, I should like to' vindicate that exist
ing and aspiring organization sponsored by the
Y. W. C. A., the Swap Shop.
Certainly it is lack of co-operation on the part
of the . student body rather than lack of available
floor space that keeps the shop from reaching the
high expectations of the average student. At the
present time the shop has on hand some 300 or 400
eld editions which cannot be sold and which are
necessarily in the way because of the limited space
that is provided.
Altho notices have been sent to the individual
owners of the books, no considerable response has
resulted. The shop committee has decided, there
fore, that unless the books are claimed before Dec.
22, the beginning of Christmas vacation, they will
be sold in a lot to some second hand book store.
In this way the shop will be able to start out
with clean shelves, unlittered with cast-orr editions
which are no longer adapted to the particular needs
of the faculty, and will be better equlped to meet
the needs of students during the second semestor.
The latter must, however, also depend on that
all-important word, co-operation. Not only is it
essential that students bring in theii' old books to
be sold but it is also necessary that they buy their
text books from the shop whenever possible. Stu
dents are urged also to be definitely sure of the
names of the books that they need before buying
them, as it makes extra work to exchange them
after they are once sold. The shop workers, it
should be remembered, are not expected to know
just what book each student needs for each course.
Since there is no student on the campus in
sympathy with book racketeers who take in ex
orbitant profits on the sale of second hand books,
there should be non who are not willfng to support
the Swap Shop, the one book agency existing on
the campus for the sole purpose of benefiting stu
dents. D. B.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Evangelists
In Education.
Education, like every other movement has its
evangelists and its organizers. Both have their
function.
The one group vaunts itself, clamors loudly
against existing faults, paints brilliantly the millen
ium soon to come. The other group comes after,
patiently cleans up the mess, quietly accomplishes
the few reforms that are practical and possible.
Without the second group, the first would be just
so much sound and fury. Without the firet, the sec
ond would find its way but poorly prepared.
For two workmen whose every success depends
on the interaction of their philosophies, the idealist
and the practical man make very poor bedfellows.
Neither is any too proud of the other nor does he
consider him very essential to the total scheme of
things.
Any single day will bring to light two move
ments, each banging away independently of each
other, each attacking a Bimilar problem in a funda
mentally different way, both together winning some
thing for the future good of mankind.
Speaking of education in particular, we find a
professor of philosophy at the City College of New
York bursting forth with "a burning denunciation
of educational institutions in the United States and
a nation-wide campaign for revision of the present
day educational sybtem."
This educator, a Dr. Ralph B. Winn, finds the
system "Irrational and absolescent." He wants a
curriculum "that prepares us for life, that gives
us a better understanding of self, society, and the
world." He believes that "the time has come for
action." Specifically, he suggests that the admin
istration, the faculty, and the students of schools
should meet in friendly discussion to work out a
program.
That's all very nice and no one will quarrel with
Dr. Winn's fine ideals. Someone somewhere may be
Stirred anew to the action for which he cries. But
boiled down fine, it tells us very little that ws
haven't always believed.
Dr. Winn stops at precisely the point where the
trouble has always begun. Just how administration,
faculty, and students are to get together is what
we've always wanted to know. That they should do
so literally in one big congregation, is inconceivable.
If be means figuratively, through the bungling sort
of contacts that have always existed, we are no
better off than before.
Where Dr. Winn stops, someone else must carry
on. At' the University of Wisconsin, a recently
appointed faculty committee will annually go over
the university curriculum in an effort to weed out
"thin, over-specialized, and unessential courses."
This committee of eight will make few headlines,
inspire little poetic praise, but it will help the actual
realization of some of .the ideals that have long been
shouted.
It's slow, grubby work, Isn't it. Dr. Winn ?

have drawn up our platform for

Ag Column
BY
DICK JACKSON
and GORDON HOBERT
The Ag club has held one meet
ing so far this year. The members
felt that the club should be reor
ganized and some hew objectives
formulated. There was a general
feeling that provisions should be
made so that action could be taken
without calling a meeting of all the
members. A committee was ap
pointed by President Bill Donahue
to draft new plans for the club.
This committee was composed of
Ray McCarty, Walt Moller, Dick
Jackson, Boyd Shank, and Keith
Newton.
The committee held a meeting
and discussed several plans for re
organization and several new proj
ects which Ag club might adopt.
The most important suggestions
which will be submitted to the
members at the next meeting of
the are:
1. That an Ag club executive
Board shall be created. This board
shall consist of the three officers
of Ag Club and two representatives
each from the Dairy club, the
Tri-K club, and the Block and
Bridle club. This is thought to be
a fair representation and a means
of co-ordinating the departmental
clubs on the campus. The members
of Ag club will come in closer con
tact with the activities of all the
In all phases of agriculture.
2. That Ag club and Home Ec
club shall Jointly sponser All-Ag-College
activities. These activities
shall include convocations, dances,
parties, and winter sports. If possi
ble arrangements shall be made for
the creation of a pond on the Ag
campus which shall be used for
Ice skating. let skating has been
contemplated for several years but
no action has been taken. This
might be a worthy project for Ag
club.
3. That Ag club shall provide an
"All Activities Trophy" which
shall be presented to the student
winning the most points during
the year. A system of graded
points shall be arranged. Points
shall be given for participation In
contests. The first and second prize
winners of each contest shall be
given additional points. Members
of judging teams might receive
points. Points might also be given
for scholarship and athletics. At
the end of the year the student
having the greatest number of
points would receive the trophy as
a permanent possession. This
trophy might be a desk set or a
pen and pencil set.
The projects are only sugges
tions. Each member of Ag club
should seriously think over these
and be ready to discuss them at
the next meeting. Any other sug
gestions might be referred to the
committee or to the club as a
whole. These projects are for the
Interest of each and every Ag stu
dent. Thru co-operation we will
have a successful year. Ag club
does have a purpose.

Green Toga faction to put men
capable of nroiectintr Droeressive
ideas into the influential govern
ing groups of the campus, in the
effort to effect reforms and
changes beneficial to the student
body."
At the same meeting the Green
Togas announced that the officers
of the organization for the vpr in
clude: Don Ea.nterday, president;
Herman Rosenblatt, vice presi
dent; Frank Landis, secretary-treasurer.
At the samg time the Progres
sive party was turning its seige
guns on the campus elections next
Tuesday. Elmer Brackett, presi
dent of the party for the coming
year, prepared the following state
ment for the Observer yesterday
afternoon: "We are certain that
our choice of candidates represent
tne best men for these positions,
and that they will do everything in
their ability to carry on the honor
and traditions of the university."
In addition to Brackett. officers
of the Progressive faction for the
coming year include: John Stover,
vice president; Lew Halderaon, sec
retary; and La Verne Luedekc,
treasurer.
Contained in the progressive
party platform were planks along
much the same lines as those for
warded by the Green Togas. While
the Progressive party has been vic
torious In every student election
since the campus upheaval last
fall, observers of the political scene
seemed to see a gain to votes for
the Green Toga party. This as
sumption was baaed primarily on
the fact that apparently well
founded rumors have it that all is
not well in the Barb-Greek coali
tion thrown together as a result of
the Green Toga party formation.
The announcement of candidates
in this group, however, may quiet
these assumptions, since the Barb
faction was handed out its share
of the spoils.
Meanwhile the much talked
about big six of the Green Toga
faction had apparently died out,
and the party seemed ready to pre
sent a solid front against the Pro
gressives in the campus battle of
ballots next Tuesday.
