STUDENT COUNCIL ASSURED The appointment by Chancellor Avery of a Student Council charter commission means that there will be student self-government at Nebraska University before the end of the present semester. It is inconceivable that this committee, in which both faculty and studvnts, men and women, are so ably represented, cannot draw up a plan for the council that will meet with the approval of the students and of the Senate. The chancellor lias very clearly pointed out that the selection of a Student Council will really add to the dignity and importance of the Innocents and Black Masques and strengthen the tradition that is connected with them. The charter commission should commence its work at onoe. Student organizations and individual students should be ready with suggestions and a complete discussion of the problem should be had. This is one of the most important questions that has ever come before the Nebraska student body. MR. NEFF AND MR. TULLY IN THE LIMELIGHT The appointment of a senior man and a junior woman as mem bers of the Student Council charter commission is in the hands of Mr. Neff, the senior president, and Mr. Tully, the junior president. The appointments are the most important these two gentlemen will make and will be a test of their fitness for office. A Student Council, to meet the approval of the student body, must avoid any taint of politics. These two class presidents must appoint as representatives, students known to be broad-minded and known to have made a study of the Student Council question and to be in sympathy with the movement for it. They must appoint with out regard to political favors past, present or future, and with the sole purpose of getting on the commission, students who can act intelligently and unselfishly. " These appointments should be made before the week end, so that the charter commission will not be delayed in its work. USING THE FORUM Nebraska students are neglecting an opportunity for a whole some exchange of student opinion, by failing to keep the Forum department full of letters every day. About the only letters that come in are from those who have a grudge against the editor, and while it is a lot of fun to get these, they do not help make general conditions around the University any better, and It is doubtful whether they even improve the editor. The Student Council problem now before the students is an Invitation to a public discussion of the question through the Forum columns. The invitation should not be neglected. The Cornhusker staff has guaranteed to put out the annual on time if students have their individual pictures taken by this week end. The seniors and juniors should make themselves individually reHpoimibie in this and then the s an can have no excuse for failure to -make. good on its bargain. A few more days like yesterday, and the 'bench workers" may be expected to make their appearance. UNIVERSITY NOTICES ed. Bring another man and any sug gestions you may have to offer.

NON COMPOS MENTIS Our Daily Thought If politicians don't pass lot of things around they don't pass themselves. Have you seen 'em on the campus Shakin' hands and lookin' glad And a-'tellin' how they love you, You so much like dear old dad. Have you noticed the air of satisfac tion, Have you heard the arguments Don't you see that something's brewing When there's so many on the fence? Have you seen the "Jobs" gain num bers Have you heard the word "pull' Don't you see all the fore-runners Of election spiked to kill. Spring is here As far as Muddy streets and spring hats Are concerned, Also yellow neckties. Strange how all three Increase the number of rubbers. Muddy streets are inconvenient, But easily Pussed from view. Not so with the Yellow bonnets and orange chokers. This is a season for yellow, Yellow hat, yellow shoes, Yellow hair and Fruit yello But to return To the original topic Of yellow neckties, How can they be? The men refuse to Allow the women To vote Because fhey say they are Irresponsible. What is more so than A piece of silk Dipped in the Curse of civilization And four-in-handed Around an innocent Youth's neck? A yellow tie, (And there are Too many of them) Is the sign of Weakening tissues Under the skull; An advance poster For malaria mosquitoes, A flag of distress. May the day Come When all of the Yellow neckties are used Only for the purpose Of warning the ordinary Harmless citizen Of Approaching Danger And Geiiuiuv DiireMst CONVOCATION The Band Hop An unlimited number of tickets have been validated for the band hop, to be held in the auditorium February 24, 1917.

C. of L. of today, the seniors at Karlham college this- year have done away with, the customary commencement invitations, and have adopted the commencement announcement.

THE CHALLENGE In days of old All men were bold When all their tools of war were words. Now comes a call To brave men all And proof of bravery affords. Ye who did boast A Valiant Host How much you loved your native land; Ye who defied Foes far and wide. The time has come to show your hand. Not words hut deeds The nation needs: Strong men who dare to show their might, To give their all At Duty's call, For home and nation and for right. 1 , Scuff y. ALUMNI NEWS Mabel L.
