Good Orchestras
An Impossibility?
TTHE season is fast approaching, in fact with
Homecoming is here, when various campus
organizations cast their eyes longingly about
the nation in search of dance bands for campus
affairs. The past shows that efforts have been
expended to no end in the quest for orchestras
of national prominence and the success attend
ing them is comparable to student attempts to
interest the regents m a union building.
Twice, perhaps three times, if the classifi
cation be stretched, in the past four years have
orchestras which really deserved a place among
the best in the nation, played at Nebraska par
ties. And these privileged occasions were but
a stroke of fortune actuated by circumstances
outside the control of campus groups.
A much more familiar scene on the Nebras
ka campus is that of an anxious and worried
music committee feverishly burning up the
wires at the last minute searching for a suit
able band or trying to replace those who have
broken their contracts. Many of the orchestras
that play here are secured as little as a week
before the party and the quality of their play
ing has often demonstrated that fact all too
conclusively.
While Nebraska students are thriving to
get their school on the map in a way to reflect
credit upon it, it would seem that without any
effort at all we are getting on the map to our
disadvantage as the refuge of unknown and un
sung dance orchestra. And, what hurts still
more, students are forced to pay admission
prices for them which should entitle one to lis
ten to the best bands in the nation. The situa
tion needs remedying badly, and if given a lit
tle thought, this might not be as difficult to ac
complish as at first seems.
It must be admitted that Nebraska is off
the beaten track that is trod by leading dance
bands. Therefore bands of any consequence
will be unusually difficult to secure. Still there
are a lot of other schools in the same boat out
here. The Big Six schools and Missouri Valley
loop members share whatever unfortunate con
sequences concerning booking of orchestras
which geographical location imposes upon Ne
braska. This being the case, what is to prevent col
leges and universities of this section joining in
a concerted movement to secure better orches
tras by arranging their social events on succes
sive nights? In this manner orchestras which
now come into this territory to play a one or
two night stand would be assured of several
successive appearances at scnoois locaiea ciose
to one another. The cost to each school would
no doubt be materially reduced and students
would have the opportunity to dance to the fin
est music in the country.
a
Of course schools would have to cooperate.
It might be necessary for one or two schools to
hold a function on a week night once in a
while to insure successive appearances of the
band. But this should not be an impossibility,
especially in schools where administrative re
strictions are not so straight-laced and foolish
as at Nebraska.
Here is a matter to which the student coun
cil could profitably devote its time and efforts.
The proposed Big Six conference which appar
ently has fallen thru, would have been the ideal
channel thru which to organize such a venture.
There remains the alternatives of contacting
Schools by letter or at the National student fed
eration convention during the holidays, but the
latter event comes a bit late to render all the
;potential benefits which the idea includes.
The student council seems to be doing
nothing this year anyway, reverting to its leth
argic existence of years past. This project if
undertaken, would at least give it the appear
ance of trying to operate and function in the
interests of the student body.
little sorority girls are tucked m snug as a
bug in a rug by the proper time.
Now it seems that this practice is being re
sinned by the A. W. S. this year after a respite
of several years for sorority girls. The reason
advanced for the move is that sorority girls
will not check out and in after the fashion
of time-clock punchers as they should and
just will not keep the hours specified.
It is probably true that a goodly portion
of the fair sisters of the campus are a wee
bit late from time to time but the situation
does not appear sufficiently serious to war
rant the presence of female Sherlock Holmes
about the campus at night. In the first place,
the girls are hardly to be blamed for cheating
a bit on the 12:30 deadline which is a heritage
of the days of Puritanism and narrow-minded
restraint. In the second place, repeated serious
violations of the rule by any sorority mem
ber would likely bring down the wrath oE the
chapter upon her head without the assistance
of A. W. S. snoopers; and the matter would
be referred to A. W. S. also without the pro
cess of prying.
On a hunch, the Nebraskan believes that
some of the A. W. S. snoopers don 't do a good
job. Some of them have a guilty feeling, per
bans knowing that what they are doing or
supposed to do is a sneaking, dastardly trick
that reeks of meanness. Part of them probably
have sinned more in staying out late than
those they seek to ensnare, or, being Lincoln
girls, perhaps don't have to worry about hours.
Be that as it may, the practice is in vogue
at present. So watch your step, girls. Make
sure that you are in at 12:30 instead of 12:31;
in fact, to make certain you are under the
line, send vour date home early he won't
mind,, that is, not much. And, after all, you
are doing a sacred duty for A. "NY. S. and if
you are real good gins, mayoe tne snoopy
snoopers won't have anything to do after
while, and you can then go your way and sin
some more.

Corruption
At the Polls.
TO THE EDITOR:
. .Now that the fall elections are all over but
the shouting and the Progressives have come
out with a sweeping victory, while the Nebras
ka Sweetheart and Honorary Colonel remain a
big question mark until the proper moment, it
is time to stop and reflect some of the fraud
that was going on quite openly at this election
and has been going on for quite some time.
Many students were overheard bragging to
their friends that thev had voted as much as
ten times or perhaps even more in the election.
They explained that they had obtained identi
fication cards from disinterested students and
had used them to do this excess voting. This
does not seem to apply to just a few students
but to an alarming number.
It would seem that the stcdent council
would find something to cope with this situa-
lon. It is conceded that theirs is a verv diffi
cult position in trying to keep elections going
straight. But this situation seems to be grow
ing and something must be done to see that it
is kept down. There does seem to be quite an
elaborate system of checking right now, but
evidently that isn't enough.
How any party can feel proud of its vic
tory and know that they got into office by such
tactics .is mereditable. No doubt both parties
are guilty of doing it. But nevertheless it is
the dutv of the Student Council to do some
thing about it. Just what they can do, is no
doubt as big a question to themselves as to the
students, but a remedy can be found J. F.

Sororities have responded fa

taken immediately, according to a
report of Faith Arnold, editor of
the annual. Records show that 60
percent of all sorority girls have
had their photographs taken, '
whereas the percentage for the
fraternities is far below that mark.
Kappa Alpha Thetas are leading
with a record of 80 percent of all
pictures taken; Delta Gammas are

Closely following the two high are
Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Omicron

High among the fraternities are
Sigma Nu with 75 percent of their

TO THE EDITOR:
Last spring, the drive fur a siul-nt union
building rnade a valiant effort tp unify campus
enthusiasm. Its progress was remarkablecon
sidering the lack of school consciousness among
the students. The University of Nebraska
campus is distressingly divided between the
Greeks and the Barbs. Support of nearly every
issue is determined by affiliation or non-affiliation,
and as a consequence, there is little unity
anion? the students. There is no class spirit,
and little school spirit as appears on many
other campuses. While there may be some re
gard for the Alma Mater, it's an active co-operation
of students that makes school spirit a
living thing.
The object of the drive for petition signers
was fundamentally a common denominator for
the student body, a building w here all would be
welcome to use its facilities. Both groups, the
Greeks and Barbs, would be equally benefited
through its use. Perhaps the greatest need for
comfortable lounges, rooms in which to enter
tain friends, is felt by unaffilated students.
This is especially true since the question of
housing accommodations is consistently preva
lent. More than that, unaffiliated students
need a place to congregate to get acquainted
with their fellows.
Fraternity and sorority houses offer social
advantages that boarding houses do not, be
sides being usually more attractive and com
fortable than the ordinary rooming house. Af
filiated students thus have more opportunities
to meet one another, but greater cooperation
is yet possible and would be materially assisted
by the erection of a building to be the gather
ing place for the whole campus.
Greeks do meet Greeks, but they do not
mix with the Barbs, and there is the biggest
factor in the disunity of the campus. If there
were a student building in which all could feel
an ownership, half of the battle would be won.
The campus would have one thing in which all
are interested alike.
Merely getting behind the campaign for
the student union building would help tremen
dously in welding the factions on the campus.
Bumor indicates that the issue is reviving from
its summer slumber, and that now is the oppor
tune time for students to administer the smell
ing salts to the student union campaign. The
campus may learn now that "United we stand,
divided we fall" is as rood for our us se. it
