used to be an all university social function,
but the majority of them don't believe they
have "a kick coming." In previous years the
unaffiliated students had their own weekly
parties and their annual .barb formal. They
feel that the fraternities and sororities should
be accorded the same privilege.
Those who feared the exclusion of barb
students would create a friction between af
filiated and non-affiliated students can forpct
their nolions o "class feeling. If there ever
has been such a disposition, which we doubt,
the new Greek party for Greeks will not foster
or engender it.
The bizad college holds its own party.
The engineers ball is primarily for those regis
tered in the college of engineering. The barb
organizations sponsor their own functions.
"Why shouldn't the fraternity system have its
own dance?
All unsigned editorial are the opinions of the editor and
should not be constructed to reflect the views of the d

ear Readers:
The Daily Nebraskan is printed for you,
the students. The staff desires as many
students as possible to have a part in the pro
duction of it. Perhaps you have no journal
istic inclinations, but the Ncbraskan has a
"letter to the editor" column in which all
regularly enrolled students of the university
may air any legitimate grievance or profcr
praise. Letters should be accompanied by the
author's name. The name will not be pub
lished if the author so desires. Short letters
are most likely to be printed.
Write us, we'd like to hear from you.
It's All Greek at
Interf raternity Ball
For the first time in over six years the ln-
terfraternity Ball will be held exclusively for
affiliated students. The decision to invite
only Greek students to the affair came from
the Interfraternity Council which felt the
party should be designed for and supported by
affiliated students only.
Comment concerning the all-Greek party
has been generally favorable. Sorority women
and fraternity men are almost unanimously in
sympathy with the idea. Most unaffiliated
students don't seem to care much one way or
the other. They are being excluded from what
By Marsa Lee Civin.
The wives of Nebraska farmers were not in
favor of the idea of free help from university coeds
during the summer. Mrs. Emma Reed Davisson of
the university extension service, returning from an
extended trip into the state, broached the plan to
place university women on Nebraska farms to al
leviate the summer drudgery.
After convincing the wives that labor was free,
Mrs. Davisson was met with the reply that "they
would be expected to be treated like guests and
that was too much bother." Assistance would be
accepted of only those girls who would be willing
to eat in kitchens which were insufferably hot in
the summer, to attend the baby, and to help in
fields if necessary.
A Daily editorial comment on the attitude of
farmers wives in spurning the offer follows. "Sure
ly, the trouble must be that they don't know the
coedn Perhaps, they have heard their sons speak
boastingly of social conquests and thus have got
ten the idea that the "butterfly type" prevailed.
Perhaps they fear the college girl will put them to
shame by their ability; perhaps they prefer to bask
in the glory of hard work as a weapon of attack
on their husbands. Perhaps these wives do not
need assistance with their chores."
Ten UN men had enlisted in the "mosquito
fleet" of the naval reserve. They were sent to the
Atlantic coast to prepare for the work of subma
rine chasing.
May 25 was the last day of drill for university
students under the instruction of army officers. Ac
cording to war department orders, Sergeants W. J.
Allen and Thomas F. Wirth were ordered to close
up government business with the university and
report to other duty.

Not included in the tabulation,
of course, is the effort being placed
by many students in regular cur
riculum studying courses that may
be regarded as directed toward the
war effort engineering, medicine,
physics, etc. The effectiveness of
work being done cannot easily be
judged, for not doubt many stu
dents who answered affirmatively
may not actually be very active.
But the figures are a good indica
tor of the manner in which work
is being distributed in the col
leges. In many colleges, Surveys inter
viewers reported, defense curricula
were to be established for the
spring semester, at which time
many more students were expected
to begin work on war courses.
