The Gate City I One of the Wonders of the West
Compares With Nation's Biggest Cities.
What stall be done with the 2,000
students that are going to Omaha two
weeks from tomorrow, when the uni
versity will be the guest and the
Commercial club, business houses,
high school, daily newspapers, and,
best ol all, old Nebraska alumni will
be the hosts, is a question that is
bothering the Btudents more than the
men who are arranging the program
in the big city. - V '
For in Omaha, they are beginning
to worry over the problem of get
ting enough of the city's bigness be
fore the students in the short space
space of twelve or fourteen hours.
For Omaha is Nebraska's greatest
city, and she is the Gate City ot the
west.
The Omaha Commercial club is
carefully arranging the program to
crowd as much interest and excite
ment into the short space of time as
possible. There is much to see.
i A Trading Center
Omaha is a great trading center.
The trade statistics show the high
rank the city has, comparable with
Chicago . and Kansas City, and ex
ceeding all other centers as a stock
market, as a packing center, as a
grain market, as a butter manufactur
turing point, as a thousand and one
other things that one can call to mind
in thinking of the business of a great
city.
But great as Omaha, jobbing and
other interests are, her merchants in
the retail district are proud to invite
comparison with merchants in other
cities of two and four times Omaha's

garnered in every corner of the world.
Her great department stores are load
ed with every conceivable thing that
can please the purchaser.
And as a progressive American mu
nicipality, Omaha invites the study of
the university students. She has a
promt, mimicinal waterworks, with
headquarters at the beautiful Minne
lusa pumping station, that furnishes
the purest water to its thousands of
inhabitants. She has a park system
that compares favorably in both wild
and cultured beauty with that of any
other city. And : her parks are con
nected with a boulevard system that
furnishes drives to please the most ex
acting. The Public Schools
Her public school system is one of
the finest in the country. A high
school that is an architectural tri

recognized by the most exacting uni
versities, and a commercial high
school where business branches are
taught that has won wide recognition

The Nebraskan will tell more about
Omaha, dwelling not along general
lines, but on specific points of inter
est as the time approaches for the
trip. Meanwhile the city is extending
the welcoming hand. The response of
the students and faculty of the uni
versity will be as warm as the wel
come extended. The campus commit
tefes are- planning on not less than
1,750 students making the trip on
the great day, May 19.
HUGG, CANDIDATE FOR ATH
LETIC BOARD, NOT ON BEFORE
In the report of the candidates for
membership on the university athletic
board, published a few days ago, Ed
Hugg was mentioned as a present
member of the board woh is a candi
date for re-election. This is a mis
take, as Hugg, who was captain of
last spring's basketball team, Is not
now and never has been a member
of the board. The Nebraskan takes
this opportunity of making the cor
rection of the mistake, which was
caused by the inadvertance of a re
porter. "REVIEW OF REVIEWS"
WANTS PICTURES
The "Review of Reviews" has tele
graphed the Alumni Journal, asking
for a loan of the photogiaphs of Doan
Roscoe Pound, of Harvard univer
sity, and Chancellor Elliott, of Mon
tana university, former Nebraska stu
dents, which were published in the
April issue of the Journal.
FAIR MUST BE PROPER
The County Fair, a very Important
event in the college life of the stu
dents of the University of Washing
ton, may be wiped from existence by
the faculty unless "the students ful
ly realize their responsibility and act
decorously. Heretofore there has
been a feeling that on this one eve
ning at least, the lid had been lifted,
and that anything was permitted,"
according to the Dally, which ran a
red-ink scare-head extra on Friday.

The Student Council
THE THREE ISSUES:
DO NOT CONFUSE THEM
There are at present three import
ant issues before the students, hav
ing to do with university life.
Though they are entirely different,
they are closely related. That they
may not be confused, we will outline
them as follows:
1. The Single Tax is a fee of three
dollars a semester, the proceeds of
which are applied to certain all- uni
versity activities. It will be paid by
all students who will receive benefit
from thes activities.
2. The Student Union is an organ
ization having as its 6bject the es
tablishing and maintenance of a
Union building, to be devoted to stu
dent life.
3. The Student Council is an or
ganizatlon elected by the students and
responsible to them. It will have gen
eral legislative, administrative and
some Judicial power over student af
fairs.
The three institutions are closely
related. The Student Council will ad
minister the funds collected from the
Single Tax, and will have as one of
its duties the obligation to see that
the best returns are being received

for the money expended. The Stu

Student Council for the proper admin-
tration of the all-university Union

WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT
THE STUDENT COUNCIL
1. It will mean that the students
have an organization to represent
them on all occasions.
'2. By unifying student life it will
create a better Nebraska spirit.
3. By being representative ot the
various departments of the university,
it will create a greater and more
wholesome departmental spirit.
4. It will mean the adoption of
the Single Tax, which will produce
better student activities.
' 5. It will mean the adoption of the
Student Union, which will produce
more democracy among the students.
6. It will mean the creation of a
University State, having functions
similar to the state at large, thus pro
ducing a laboratory in self-government.
7. The results in other schools Jus
tify its adoption here.
8. It will bring order and unity
where now we have disorder and
chaos.
