At one of the debating club meetings, Sat
urday evening, a fraternity man, who deserted
the barbarian cause only last spring, said: "I
consider that a debating club a do more for
a student than any other organization, except
theY. M. C. A." Tn the language of the
street he would have said: "These fraternities
are not what they are cracked up to be."
This should serve as a warning note to any
student who is mystified by the pomp, . the
show or the tradition of the Greeks.

is by no means a stranger to Lincoln music
circles. At the recital last week Mrs. Jones

body.
In justification of the existence of college
fraternities, our esteemed contemporary quotes
an eastern publication to the effect that col

Christianity. Remember to accent necessa

themselves, but for the University school of
music. They are welcome and valuable ad
