THIS dire charge has often been brought against the University, and the facts seem to bear it out.
   Up to Valentine's day, before the real crush of dances called forth by the warm weather and moonlight nights, one hundred and thirty-five dances had been given, an average of six a week. The fourteen fraternity and sorority formals which come in the second semester, to say nothing of innumerable informal house dances, increase this average.
   Of these dances, seventy-nine were of the informal fraternity house variety, where usually there are no programs, and a pitcher of water is substituted for the bowl of punch. Fifty-one were held in halls, but were informal, while five were formal affairs, with dress suits and all the "fixin's."

   By careful calculation it has been figured out that students at Nebraska during the past school year have danced 216,000 miles, seventy-two times across the United States, or eight and two-thirds times around the world.
   The cost of the dances totaled, approximately, twenty-two thousand dollars, which does not include cabs, flowers, or clothes of those attending the dances. The average cost per man was a dollar and sixty cents, so that if a student goes to forty dances a year he spends sixty-four dollars for tickets (or taxes) alone.
   The following is the standing of Nebraska organizations as determined by the number of dances given up to February 14th:
