yesterday afternoon with data cover
ing student council systems at all of
lie larger universities of the west,

cil conference, with headquarters at
Illinois, for the purpose of organizing
the student self-government move
ment and lending all possible aid to IU
development Bryson was named as

of control.
Council Decidedly Successful
Regarding the value of the confer-t-Dte
in supplying suggestions lor Ne
braska's problem, Bryson declared
that the general discussion of the
plans in practice at different universi
ties resulted In the discovery of reme
dies for individual situations that each
has to face- He said all of the dele
gates, nben asked the question
nether or not the student council
were really a success, were emphatic
in an affirmative answer.
The general form of the different
council plans is much like that pro
posed for Nebraska in preliminary dis
cussions before the appointment of a
charter commission. In the majority
of schools, Bryson found, the men and
the women each have a separate conn-j
cat! kid demands. The function of the
council Invariably was to exercise
judicial and legislative powers and to
look after the general welfare of the
student body.

CITY HEALTH OFFICERS EXPECT
THAT MANY AT LEAST
May Not Stop There Unless More
Care is Taken Health Officers
Are Grave
One hundred cases of scarlet fever
is the least the department of health
expects of the present epidemic, and
statements Issued by officers yester
day Indicated that unless persons In
Lincoln, students especially, did not
exercise greater care, the minimum
number might be easily passed.
A total of twenty-one cases of the
fever this week had been reported tO
the health office op to yesterday even
ing. Among these are a number of
University students, and one Instruc
tor, Professor Babbitt, of the depart
ment of rhetoric who was quaran
tined yesterday. Rooms have been
isolated in the Phi Delta Theta boose.
517 South Eleventh street, and It is
said that one or two other fraternity
bouses are "suspected."
Over Ninety Cases Now
! rtvr ninetr caaea have been taken
care of by the health office since the
epidemic started- Suspects and cer
tain exposures will probably bring the
number beyond one hundred, and
should the population not awake to the
seriousness of the situation, the dis
ease may spread beyond bounds.
The department of health yesterday
declared that too great care could not
be taken In the matter of sore throats,
at least not until the nature of the
trouble was ascertained for sure. A
large number of students are report
ing at the department for immunizing
treatment
To The High School Visitors
You are here today, one thousand of you. representing your bteh
school and your home In the greatest athletic tournament In the United
States. It Is given under the auspices of the University cf Nebraska.
The University bids you welcome. Do not think that the homely
iron fence, the nottoo-lovely brick buildings, the hurried Impersonality
of many of the student and faculty members, make np the University
of Nebraska. The real University Is the thing that is found in long
association, hard work, and pleasant relaxations within that iron fence,
within these red brick buildings, and with these burned students and
members of the faculty.
It Is an indefinable something a spirit of fellowship, of peace
with the world, of Ideals, a spirit mellowed with the ages that have
contributed their knowledge to the curricula here and freshened by
the youth of the stuists.
You could not define your friendships by the appearance of your
friends, their clothes, the color of their eyes; neither can we define
the University by the physical part of It; it Is so much more than that.
We can tell you that Nebraska University means the broadening
of our outlook on life, the increasing of Its spiritual content, the setting
of a loftier plane for our ideals and a lower level for our noses. Even
that would mean little to yon.
Voti can only find out what It is by coming. That very one of us
urges you to do. If you haven't got the money, borrow It. If you
can't do that come down anyway, and you can earn it if you are
determined.
Then you, too. will learn what the University of Nelraska Is and
what ft stands for; then yon. too. f ia take part In the joys that come
of being a part of It.

ATHLETICS GOOD,
SAYSJBOVERHOR
Executive at Convocation Yesterday,
Said Every Fit Boy Should
Indulge in Them
"I believe that every boy who is
physically fit should indulge in col
lege athletics." Governor Keith Neville
who is not only fond of athletics but
also a successful coach, told Univer
sity students yesterday morning at
Convocation at 11 o'clock in Memorial
ball.
-I have thougLt that If I were ever
called upon to address a student body
that I should try to leave one prac
tical thoueht, said the governor, and
te then referred to bis own college
days In an eastern scbooL where the
students listened to bishops, arch
bishops snd philanthropists, especially
the latter, snd received in exchange
large appropriations for the school.
Once an Athlete, Always
Covernor Neville emphasized the
fact that the person who participates
in athletics wbiie In college should not
neglect -sercise when be bad finished.
The sayir. "Once an a'hl'te. always
an atbl;te. should be true, he de
clared. "If you play football or take
part in any otter athletic activity, you
muist k-p It up tlje rist of your life,
or you wi!l undergo a g-et deal of
physical p- Fifteen minutes a day
devoted to ciu-rcie Is sufficient to
prevent the reaction of inactive work,"
be said.
Governor Neville's talk was short,
practical and Interesting.
