A SUGGESTION BOX FOR THE STUDENT COUNCIL
The Daily Nebraskan, ut the request of the Student Council char
ter convention, has placed on the campus south of University hall, a
box for suggestions regarding the student council. Every Nebraska
University student is invited to submit ideas on the question by
dropping them into this box. Especially is it urged that theso sug
gestions be made today and tomorrow, bo that they may be of use to
the charter commission in drawing up Its questionaire to be submitted
to the student council representatives who meet at Purdue university
this week-end.
Students of the University who have gone to college where the
student council has been used, should consider it their duty as loyal
Nebraskans to tell about the council In their former school, and to
submit ideas to the commission. Any student who has thought enough
about the question to have any definite ideas should take this oppor
unity to make those ideas known to the charter convention.
Now is the time to be of service to the student council commis
sion. The establishment of the Student Council will prove a crisis in
the student life at Nebraska. The call is clear for every student to
help by all means within his power.
THE ALL-GREEK PARTY
The success of the second annual all-Greek party at the Alpha
Sigma Thi house Friday night, should mean the establishment of this
event as an annual University interfraternlty and interaorority affair
under the supervision of the Interfraternlty council and the Pan-Hellenic
union.
The Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity is to be congratulated upon its
unselfishness and upon its hospitality, but the expense of this annual
program should no longer be borne entirely by this fraternity. The
affair proves such a good means for getting acquainted, and is so truly
a democratic event, that the University cannot afford to let it drop.
This is somehlng over which the two governing bodies of the
fraternities and sororities should assume general charge The Nebras
kan urges them to announce soon that this has been done for next
year.
PUBLICATIONS AND ADVERTISING
The action of the student publication board, in defining the field
of advertising for University publications, was a wise means of retain
ing the friendship and patronage of Lincoln advertisers. Business
men who have not been in close touch with the University have at
times been confused by the constant demands upon them for advertis
ing, made by representatives of the numerous campus publications. To
restrict them to their own fields, giving only The Daily Nebraskan and
Agriculture a free field, was due the Lincoln merchants.
WHY NOT INTERSORORITY CONTESTS?
The success of the fraternities in holding annual tournaments in
basketball, bowling and baseball, should encourage the sororities of
the University to start similar competitions. Intersorority basketball
and bowling tournaments could be run off, and other means of sorority
competition might suggest themselves to the women students. Many
universities have bowling and basketball contests among the sororities.
The fraternity contests at Nebraska are annually the means of
giving healthful physical exercise to men who would, not otherwise
receive it. This is even less important than the friendships which
the contests cement between the participating fraternities. The same
good would be accomplished among the girls by sorority tourneys.
