Woman's Place In Homo
We heard, today, of a problem
pledge. Not an ordinary problem
pledge, if you please. The prob
lem, both for her and for her so
rority sisters lay in the fact that
she didn't want to study or go to
school she wanted to get mar
ried. Lots of feminine students come
to school with the avowed pur
pose of getting a husband. Avowed
to themselves, that is. For those
who declare their intentions to the
world embarrass their less honest
female counterparts, and may get
more attention than they bargain
for from the gents. But a gal who
lets her designings so warp her
entire attitude toward campus in
tellectual and especially, social
life that she thinks of iittle. else
is. really, a rarity.
Many college women of this age
tend to look down upon marriage
as a career. They tilt their noses
at selecting homemaking for their
life work. Most of them are even
more specific about child raising,
motherhood. While numbers may
rome round to the point where
they include matrimony in their
scheme of things, the twosome
only idea, with both partners as
breadwinners, prevails to a sur
prising degree. If children rome.
they are taken care of by hired
help, while the wife and mother
continues her profitable wage
earning. College women, the feel
ing runs, arc above the full time
absorption in their motherhood
that has characterized the women
of the ages.
But Margaret Collins, in "Ca
reers. Limited" in the October
Srribner's, is of the opinion that
such an attitude is not only false
but actually dangerous. If it per
sists, the effects upon society, no
ticeable in the next generation,
children of our modern mothers,
may be not too pleasant to con
template. Careers for Clever Mothers.
"We 20th century realists,"
she writes, "have convinced our
selves that if a woman is suffi
ciently clever, she can simulta
neously bring up a family and
have a full time career outside
the home. Little better than the
snug domesticity exuded by the
earlier 'Kinder, Kirchc, Kurchc'
style of thought, this current
piece of romanticism is doing
twoTold damage. Its challenge
is ruining the children of those
women who are demonstrating
their versatility. Its implication
of Inferior ability is poisoning
the satisfaction of those who
stay at home."
The author relates her qwn ex
perience at part time motherhood
to disprove, the current fable. She
thought herself, she says, a
thoughtful, intelligent mother. Her
addition to the family income en
abled her child to have the best
care money could buy. The menial
tasks of daytime routine, all
nicely scheduled, were tended to
by a cook. Miss Collins felt her
self able to handle the special
problems as they arose by being
with occasional crises. She had to
hour each afternoon before bis
bedtime.
With the wisdom of the best
books on rhild-rntsing she was
sure that there were long periods
of normal behavior, interspersed
with occasional crisis, llhe hail to
learn that servants, however kind
mid capable, lack the background
and ability to satisfactorily train
children. Their education is
limited, their attitude toward their
job and charge, temporary. "1 was
unawire," she confesses," that
emotional stability, independence,
logical thinking arc developed
through a long, slow nceiiniulnl ion
of situations successfully me'."
Prompted by what she consid
ered alarming symptoms in her
own son to alter her approach to
her motherhood. Miss Collins
studied the question cold-bloodedly
from all angles. "I found it im
possible to evade the conclusion
that the more able a woman thinks
she is, the heavier is her responsi
bility to supervise her own chil
dren. For her to plead supcuni

Mob Surrounds House,

Incitement, bitterness, indignation-all
ran rough shod up and
down fraternity row last night, as
a disorganized mob of some
hundred Greeks, after marching
back and forth for nearly three
quarters of an hour, jammed into
a line of cars and streaked out to
the home of J. K. Selleck, busi
ness manager for the Nebraska
athletic department.
Reason for the disturbance was
the disputed allotment of seats for
the Minnesota game in Memorial
stadium. Seven Greek houses,
whose membership totals over
four hundred, were completely
shut out of the stadium for that
game, ostensibly because of the
fact that there was this year an
unprecedented demand for student
admissions.

Five hundred students and some few fnc.
ully nipinlicrs will hnve lousy seats for the
Minnesota game. Pool hall hangers-on and
various wised up members; of the general pub
lic will have seals in the choice section re
served for members of the university proper.
The reason why part of the student body
and some of 1 ho faculty will be era n ins: for a
glimpse of their team Saturday from the blind
bloc of seats in 1he cinders behind the Minne
sota reserves is that both students and faculty
have abused their privilege of buying tickets
at the special rales given them.
The irate mob of students which blus
tered over the campus last night berating
Mr. Selleck, who is in charge of ticket sales,
and the editor of the Nebraskan, who made
the drawings, finishing with a clown act in
front of the Selleck residence, were barking
up the wrong tree. They should have vent
their spleen in front of such Greek organiza
tions as Farm House, Acacia and Delta
Upsilon.
These organizations along with other fra
ternities and sororities as well as individual
students have done a fire sale business in
scalping: on student identification cards during
the last week. Faculty members and univer
sity employes have been at fault equally with
students in buving tickets in their reserved
nesota game. Tickets to the public for this
contest were sold out by the Fourth of July.
The public still wanted tickets; consequent
ly, the going rate for identification cards on
0 st. was $3. Because students sold their
cards, and because organizations procured
them and turned them in with their blocs,
the university reserved section was filled
without satisfying the bona fide student de
mand. Furthermore, the faculty ami custodians
bought 300 more lickets this year than last.
Their purchase, limited only by honor, is sup
posed 1o be limited to members of Iheir imme
diate families.

alumni ami medic students have.
At any rate the difficulty exists only for
Ihe Minnesota game. The extraordinary de
mand for tickets for this uame precipitated
the situation. Students will be taken care of
in the balcony immediately behind the student
section at other games.
As to the rumors that the drawing- of
ticket blocs was not entirely above board, we
can only explain how the drawing was made
and ask for faith in our honesty. Envelopes
containing identification cards were num
bered and filed alphabetically. Numbers
were placed in a box and shuffled. We drew
the numbers at random and they were listed
in the order drawn. The first number drawn
was 316. Armene Kuhlman's bloc of seats
was numbered 316 in the file. Seats in this
bloc are thus the best in the student section.
