Duties of a
Campus Leader.
At a dinner meeting of men's organizations
leaders held last Wednesday night at the city Y. M.
C A., James Hardwick. a traveling Y. M. C A, sec
retary, stated that the college fraternity la one of
the most potent factors in shaping tha adult life of
a college student H declared that it Is the duty of
the fraternity to be a positively good molder of char
acter, denounced some of tha house practices, but
commented favorably on fraternity organization in
, general as it exists today.
One point thtat Hard wick made is clear to all
the fellows who attended the dinner, but it is a fact
that few of them appreciated fully before hearing
the talk. He pointed out that freshmen, new to tha
university and its ways, look up to Juniors and sen
iors, particularly those prominent in campus af
fairs, and pattern their characters, actions, and lives
after those of the older fellows. For that reason
it is highly important that upperclassmen realize
that they are in positions of responsibility as well
as influence, and that they have a duty to perform
in setting the proper example.
If campus leaders, both men and women, are
known as exponents of good habits in their mental,
physical, and moral Uvea, new students will follow
in their footsteps in planning their college career.
rraternity. sorority, and activities leaders
should realize and feel the weight of their responsi
bility to underclassmen and the university. They
must remember that as well as being in their posi
tions because of the political importance of those
posts, they are also there because of their capability
of fulfilling their duty as leaders deserving a fol
lowing. Students who elect heads of groups should
remember that there is more to leadership than
merely conducting business meetings and carrying
out other constitutionally-imposed duties.
The group is the most influential factor in the
shaping of the individual and all of his characteris
tics. AH groups should determine to make that in
fluence favorable.
Should Games
Be Broadcast?
Announcement was made Saturday that Sena
tor Bullard of McCook will take the controversy in
regard to broadcasting of Nebraska football games
te the legislature this winter, and will attempt to
pass a bill vftig it compulsory for the university
te receive competitive bids from broadcasting stu
dios for the privilege of putting reports of Husker
grid tilts on the air.
Both the group opposing broadcasting of games
and these demandiag such publicity and service pre
sent good arguments.
During the last football season Nebraska and
Xawa State were the only schools in the conference
te note an increase in attendance at games. They
are the only schools prohibiting broadcasts from the
etadium during the games.
Senator Bullard stated that citizens of the state
are the taxpayers who support the university and
are therefore entitled to the right of listening to
football games. It is a fact, however, that not a
cent of tax money is used in supporting the athletic
department of this school.
It seems though, that Nebraska would get seme
splendid publicity over the nation if games in which
the Rusker grid team participates were broadcast.
TX the rule couM have been waived this fall when
Pittsburgh played here, that game would have been
Broadcast over a national hook-up. If Senator Bul
lanfs bill is passed by the legislature this winter,
the athletic department win be paid by a radio sta
tion for the privilege of broadcasting football gams.
It remains to be decided whether the sum would
make up the difference in attendance resulting from
broadcasting.
Restless
Nuisances.
Eight thousand spectators witnessed and heard
the presentation of "The Messiah" in the coliseum
Sunday afternoon. To the observer, trying in vain
to hear the music, it seemed that every one of those
thousands walked in and out of the building at least
five times during the two hour program.
Children are always restless in church, at school
and at public programs, but adults Are supposed to
have learned how to sit quietly for a certain period
of time, and do what they came there to do pay
some attention and enjoy themselves.
It might be suggested tiat on each of the pro
grams distributed at Sunday afternoon concerts in
the Coliseum a request be made asking members
of the audience to remain quiet except during inter
missions marked as such on the printed programs.
After reading the headline "To Give Xmaa
Party Xmas Party Thusday" which appeared in
Sunday's Daily Nebraskan, we suspect that Ger
trude Stein substituted for one of the news editors
Saturday afternoon.

Revolution Is art
American Tradition.
TO THE EDITOR:
Some time ago a series of letters printed in the
Student Pulse column' called upon students of this
university to fight and destroy Reds and radicalism
because they are revolutionary, want to overthrow
our government, and because their teaching is un
American, pro-Russian, etc
In this letter I should like to point out that con
trary to prevailing opinion the American tradition
is distinctly revolutionary and is extremely rich in
revolutionary inspiration. This nation was born ss
a result of revolution, and the Constitution doesn't
deny the right of citizens to revolt against existing
conditions. The state constitutions of Connecticut
and Florida declare that "the people have at all
times an undeniable right to alter their form of gov
ernment in such a manner as they may think
expedient.
There are few more revolutionary documents
than the Declaration of Independence which lies at
the very roots of our national philosophy. It de
clares that whenever anything becomes destructive
of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness it is the
right of the people to alter or abolish it.
In regard to Shay's rebellion Jefferson stated.
'Can history produce an instance of rebellion so
honorably conducted? God forbid that we should
ever be twenty yoars without such a rebellion! The
tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time
with the blood of tyrants. It is its natural manure."
Abraham Lincoln, another good American,
stated in continuing this liberal tradition that
"whenever the people of this country grow weary
of the existing government they can exercise their
constitutional right of amending it or their revolu
tionary right to dismember or overthrow it.
American literature abounds in expressions of
revolutionary spirit Thoreau, Lowell, and Bryant
and many others praised the use of force in fight
ing slavery.
Wendel Phillipps stated that "We affirm as a
fundamental principle that labor, the creator of
woelth. Is entitled to all it creates." Abraham Lin
coln, speaking on the same subject, declared that
"Capital is the fruit of labor. It never could have
existed had not labor first existed."
Mark Twain: "My kind of loyalty ' is to my
country; not to its institutions or its office-holders;
institutions are extraneous, they are its mere cloth
ing, and clothing can wear out and become ragged.
The citizen who sees that the Commonwealth's
clothes are worn out and yet holds his peace and
does not agitate for a new suit is disloyal, in fact
he is a traitor."
American radicals and many of the Reds are
bearers of a fine native American radical tradition
which should encourage them and urge them in the
social-economic struggle for a full life and happiness
for all of us.
May I conclude with the words of L. P. Ed
wards, a conservative and highly respectable scholar
who comes to the following conclusion in his book,
"The Natural History of Revolutions," published in
1827. He says, "This country is destined to evolve
through capitalism into some sort of social control
of industry. The laboring man seems destined to
be the ruler of the future. We may take it for
granted that revolutions, even most violent ones,
will occur periodically for a long time to come."
Millions of our people are subject to misery and
starvation in a time of overabundance, our natural
resources of soil and men are exploited for the en
richment of the few, degrading and destroying the
Uveal and happiness of the masses, As long as such
conditions exist the cry "Destroy the Reds!" is futile
and ineffective. America is bound to realize the
dream of its builders, and a great, noble, and happy
race will yet come into existence.
An Old-Fashioned American.

Due to the many different scenes
in "Yellow Jack' it is usual for
different members of the cast to
be out certain scenes. Strangely
enough, during the "time out" for
several members of the cast, a
mock engagement was announced
Adola Tombrlnk and Era Lown,
the "Dr. Walter Reed" and the
nurse. "Miss Braka" of tha caat,
were the two participants, in
want of chocolates, Mr. Lown
passed a box of couph drops and
still further In need of the usual
cigars, a package of Wrigley'a
gum was used. However, due to
the scarcity of young ladies to con
gratulate the prospective groom in
the usual manner, uie age-oia cus
tom usually employed to bestow
the good wishes of those present
on the happy coupio, was untor
tunatelv aklDDed. and all the many
fellows in the cast lost their chance
to wish Miss Adela well.
Several members .of .the .cast
have had outstanding, roles In oth
er productions this season In Unl
verslty Player dramas. Last
year'a patrons will rememDer
wmnt Perkins for nis unuiuany
fin performance In "Another Lan
guage" and tnia year's meawr
goers will want to see him again
after his role as "Mickey" In "The
Shining Hour." In "Yellow Jack"
he is cast as "Jamea Carroll." the
American assistant to Dr. Walter
Reed. This role, in which he plays
th part of a scientist. Is a difter-
ent type entirely from any previ
ous one Dwignt naa porcrayca;
however, ha will be one of the ma
jor attractions in the cast as tne
part is a cnoice one.
mm
Irving Hill will be remembered
this year for his portrayal of the
father in "Wednesday's Child." In
the new play now in rehearsal, he
will be on of the soldiers who is
tested for yellow fever. .Besides
the soldier quartet whose parts
show the different sidelights of hu
man nature, Irving plays the part
of the dumb soldier from the coun
try and incidentally furnishes the
comedy in part.
Clare Wolf, the young man who
will be the Canadian tougny in
this soldier quartet, is making Ms
debut In the University Players.
He says he likes the part immense
ly and is getting a great kick out
of it However, his activities have
uo until now run along ether
channels, for our friend is presi
dent of Theta Nu, the honorary
Dre-med fraternity. Htte has
played on the B team in both bas
ketball and football, and is ex
tremely fond of pineapple cream
oia and dancina. Se neres a
chance for some interested young
lady te make her acquaintance
with a future B. M. O. C. It's ad
visable for her to look a little bit
like Ctaudette Colbert, however.
During the 1927 scene in "Yel
low Jack," "Dr. Harkness, a
vouiur American adventurer ui
South Africa who attempts 10 aia-
cover a cure for vellow fever, is
to be played by Sidney Carton
Baker, Jr. This chap is also a fol
lower of Miss Colbert, and also
likes to see pictures of FreUsric
March. He is a sophomore who is
taking a p re-law course, and his
hobbies are public speaking and
dramatics. The home town is Nor
folk and while in high school, Sid
was active in dramatics, aitho this
his initial try at drama here.
This year he is a member of the
circulation staff of the Cornhusk
er. Here's a secret: he likes to
tinker with electric trains and even
builds bis own tracks. But the big
gest secret of all is that he was
named for a character in DicKens
novel, "The Tale of Two Cities."
Dancing is his specialty, and he
likes sweet young things with dark
eyes and raven locks, and he en
joys everything to eaL with spe
cial emphasis on Delicious apples.
The soy bean, fifteen years ago
considered to be fit for consump
tion by horses and cattle, bas to
day been so intensively developed
that Prof. G. I Schuster, of the
University of Delaware believes
that it will eventually replace 15
to 20 percent of the wheat con
sumed in the world.
