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.

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

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.
