Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, us second class
mall matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
THE SINGLE TAX CARRIED
The result of the vote on the Single Tax was an overwhelming
verdict in favor of it, both by the parents and the students. It was
an expression so decided that the adoption of the tax, and its enforce
ment at the next registration period in September, is a certainty.
The result 'means big things foe Nebraska Universtty. It means
the beginning of the true Nebraska spirit, that has existed in every
student's heart, but has been almost incapable of expression. It
means that the student life of the University can grow and expand
with the growth and the expansion of the new University campus.
Nebraska University Is at the beginning of a wonderful era.
THE STUDENT COUNCIL NEXT
The adoption of the Single Tax makes necessary as never before,
the inauguration of a Student Council. All University activities are
to become so much broader, student life is to take on such a bigger
meaning, that student self-government through a council must come.
The Student Council should be the body that will provide for the
distribution of the Single Tax along the lines laid down by The
Nebraskan before the election, and adopted by the students. Those
activities will benefit that were included in the tentative Single Tax
plan.
While the funds will be distributed in about the proportion
suggested by The Nebraskan, the exact ratio of distribution can
only be determined after a careful consideration of the needs of all
activities. The student council should be the body that will draw up
the plan to be presented for final ratification by a vote of the
students.
That a majority of student sentiment is as strongly in favor of
the Student Council as it was for the Single Tax, can be safely
asserted Some" representative student organization should now take
the leai, in suggesting the plan fcr the council.
The first step towards securing the Student Council should be
the selection of a student and faculty committee to act as a charter
convention, and draw up a plan for a council to be voted upon at a
general election if possible the coming election this mouth. With the
adoption of a plan for a council that will be truly representative, that
will be composed of broad-minded students of the University, that
council can be elected and begin its duties during the present
semester.
The Daily Nebraskan invites immediate discussion of plais for
the selection of a council, at once. The Forum will be open to letters,
and students and faculty who hare thought of the problem, should
make their views known.
TIME TO CALL A HALT
The anti-drill agitation could be tolerated when it was merely
a thing unpatriotic to the University. It is unfortunate that it went
so far as the introduction of a bill into the legislature by Represen-.
tative Norton, who appears to hare been misled as to actual condi
tions either misled, or careless enough not to seek the actual facts.
But with the recent developments of the past few days in the
international situation of the United States, the severance of diplo
matic relations with Germany, and the probability of war, the agitation
has become a thing unpatriotic to the United States.
We believe that those students and the alumnus who has been
encouraging them, will recognize this and bring their activities to an
e"nd. They should do this at once and Bhould ask Representative
Norton not to urge his bill for passage. This is a time when every
American wants to be ready if his country calls, and every University
man who has had military training should be glad for this as he
is better equipped than most of his fellows, for service.
The debate on the anti-drill question, scheduled for this, week
end, should not be held. It would be a fine thing for the "pacifists"'
to take the lead in withdrawing. Certainly their opponents should
refuse to debate the question, and take the higher ground that at a
time like this, such discussion would not only be. silly, but most
unwise.
With the Student Editors
What Ic a College Student?
Most of us can remember the time
w hen the college 'student was a gaily
dressed person who early adopted a
pipe bearing strange insignia and al
lowed himself to be led about by a
bulldog, stopping occasionally to give
vent to a lustry rah, rah for some
thing. There has been a mighty change in
this person. He no longer feels under
obligation to live up to the comic-supplement
ideal. The tendency with re
gard to perronal appearance seems to
be toward a more conservative mood.
nd that other greaf - ;!ement of
college life, hazing, is also d.. appear
ing rapidly.
What is the reason? We think it is
that the college student has ceased to
be quite such a rarity. Everybody
goes to college now. There are tens of
thousands of degrees handed out every
June and the number is constantly
increasing. And with regard to all
this there is something that most of
us should keep in mind.
With competition keener in every
line of business, it behooves the col
lege student to get a few of the things
that others are missing. The man who
blunders his way through university
along with hundreds of others, is not
very far ahead when he is through.
For that reason, the "forehanded per
son" will ark himself if be is making
the most of bis time. Michigan

To the pacifists it will soon be

"peace at any price."
The Garden of Eden hasn't anything

Here's a good one. "There's a new

"Kant A. Ford, the gink who reads

It was a
Warm day
Yesterday and as

My allowance,
Which is like
All allowances.
And also like

1 phoned one of the
Best looking girls
In the nearest sorority house
And asked her
To go to the
Moving picture show
With me, hoping that
I would make a
Decided hit and
Stand a beginning of a chance
For a formal bid
Because most of those women's
Lodges and clubs have
Their forroals along about
This, time
Of year.
The picture was one of
These Thedabearalot pictures
Where the first scene
Shows all the Sophistication
Of the stage manager
And the weakness of
Human nature
And makes you feel
Like the world
Is full of Anything but Good
And wish you could
Have your money
Back.
Then we went to
The Drug Store and
Had a "Double Goup
With whipped cream on it,"
And she told me
How much she
Appreciated my asking
Her "to go this afternoon."
After the goup and thirty cents
To pay for it
We sauntered homeward
Talking about the
Fine spring weather
And the rest of that
Kind of stuff and before long
We reached "the house"
And she was telling
How sorry 6he was that
She couldn't ask me in
But that it was
Almost dinner time
And she had some
Studying to do.
Which was a
Subtle hint that she
Was going to date in the evening.
And then she raved on
About the perfectly wonderful time
She had and
Vanishing within the
Interior of the house
She left me muttering
A few incoherent monosyllables
On the front porch.
As I walked away
I wondered how much of it
She really meant
