STATEMENT AND FORM OF ELECTION BALLOT The chancellor's statement, and the form of ballot for today's special elec tion, are reprinted below for the guid ance of the students. Voting is to te done at the office of the refe.strar, in the Administration building. The chancellor's statement: At the request of The Nebraskan, the Union literary society, and other organizations I have directed that a special election be held on Thursday, May 25th, in order to ascertain as nearly as possible the sentiment of the student body on certain questions that have been more or less publicly dis cussed for a number of years The ballots are to be signed as an evidence of good faith, but the count ing will be done by university authori ties and the confidence of the voters respected. It is understood, of course, that I am not in a position to promise either on behalf of the faculty or the regents that the results of the election will be carried into effect; I can, however, assure the students that I will see that an opportunity will be given for carefully considering their wishes; the sentiment of the student body as shown by the character and size of the vote will be used as a basis for pro gressive legislation next fall. S. AVERY. The form of the ballot: I. Committee on Constitution I favor the appointment of a com mittee to draft a constitution for the organization of the students of the University and to provide for their rep resentation in a student council, with the understanding that the proposed constitution after having been ap proved by the University authorities shall be submitted to the students for acceptance or rejection before its final adoption. Student Constitution Yes Regarding the present machinery for the management of student affairs as adequate, I favor no fundamental changes at the present time. Student Cousitutlon No - II. Members of Committee I recommend the following fire stu dents to co-operate with the University authorities in the appointment of a constitution committee which shall represent adequately the entire stu dent body. III. The Single Tax I favor a voluntary single tax for student activities. . Voluntary Tax Yes Q I am opposed to a voluntary single tax for student activities. Voluntary Tax No Signature of student voting. The College World STUDENT GOVERNMENT oowinujiuiiiiiiajuiiEiimiiiitk W. L. Bryan, president of Indiana state university, is interested in stu dent government and has promised his support to the movement for stu dent representation on the Commit tee of Student Affairs. Writing on this point, President Bryan says: "I believe heartily in the maxi mum of self-government in families, schools and universities. It Is true that parents, teachers and faculties have the heavy legal and moral re sponsibility of seeing that good habits and customs are established in case bad habits and customs are tolerated by saying that they have turned mat ters over to others. On the ther hand, there must be a measure of self-government even ' in the case of little children, and as young people grow older there must be more and more. Good systems of self-government have sometimes been main tained in the high schools and even in the elementary schools. There are small colleges and great universities where excellent systems of self-government are maintained, in general, faculties are willing to turn over such matters to students as far as. stu dents are willing to become serious ly responsible. I was disappointed two years ago when the plans for a system of student self-government fell through apparently because the students did not desire it. If now the students desire to take up this A Great 3 -Day UNDERWEAR SA AT WAY BELOW REGULAR SELLING PRICES We bought this underwear for the Anniversary Sale cool weather restricted the sale, so for three days we offer Men's high grade, Athletic Union Suits made from pure Irish linens, chiffon madras and track stripe long cloths that are cool and serviceable.

"For the information of the stu dents, I should say that the law places the power of discipline in the hands of the faculty as a whole. The Committee on. Student Affairs has simply the power to make recom mendations. If the students decide to appoint a committee to consider similar questions, I am sure that the recommendations of that commit tee would be accorded real weight. "I shall appoint a' committee of the faculty to confer with a commit tee of the students in regard to plans. W. L. BRYAN." Bloomlngton, Indiana, April 4, 1916. Kansas State Collegian.
