SELF-GOVERNMENT FOR THE STUDENTS The fiet that or.lv seventeen votes were cast against the plan for a student council for Nebraska University accounts for the light total vote on the plan. There was no opposition. That the council would be adopted ha. been a certainty for several months and the students accepted it as a matter of course. Had there been a fight over the plan or any phase of it. a bigger vote would have been the result. Thoe who have fought for the student council believe that i.s adoption moans a new era for Nebraska University. Not the first rear or the second or even the third will the benefits of the plan be wholly realized. The council will probably have its hardest time during the first year. The biggest part of the battle is over, but an important part remain The consciousness of the student body must be roused to the necessity of selecting capable students for the first council. The best plan of government is of little use if those who are exer cising the control are weak. Because the student council plan, how ever offers a democratic form of government, because the members of the council will be directly responsible to the student body for their actions, the machinery of government is superior to any that has been tried before at Nebraska, and the opportunity for a real student voice in government of student affairs has come for the first time. The plan is a simple one. yet it would be well for all of the students to carefully study the different articles of the constitution so that they may become fami'iar with them. The council is given general control over all extra-curricular activities, and it is also made a student court for cases of discipline that may be referred to the council by the executive dean or the de3n of women. The ten junior memb' s will be selected to represent the differ ent colleges of the Ur.ivt . ity ; the eight senior members will repre sent the University as a whole. Each student, therefore, will cast a vote for the senior members, but he will vote for only those junior members who are to represent his collece in the council. The graduate school will elect its representative. A scholarship average of 75 is required of the candidates for election to the council. Nominations shall be by mass meeting of the senior class, fir senior non;inati-ns. and mass meeting of the colleges. f-T nomination of the juniors to represent the colleges. No limit is place i upon the ru:u'.er of noisir.ati'T.s. A preferential ha!t will l.e used in the election On the wh.le. the plan provide for a council that will be representative of the majority of the students, and that can be trusted to sdminist'T student affiars. FOR THE BOYS AT FT. SNELL1NG The sueee.-tijn has le-a made that before the end of the sehoolt year. Nebraska University should in some way recognize the patri;.:i.-r.i of hr students who entered the reserve officers' training c: ;r.p at Ft. fr.elline. This proposal should receive the immediate endorsement of all of the siud'-n's. Some organization is needed to take the lead, sug gest that form the reooenition would take, and assume the responsi bility ior putting it through. Wisconsin university contributed a fund to buy its students in the camp some delicacies of food that are not found in the army mess. A number of Nebraska University girls have said that the co-eds here could in a few hours make enough candy to keep the Nebratkans at Ft. Snelling supplied for several days, and remind them that their alma mater had not forgotten their services. The Nebraskan will hope for concerted action on this matter at once. If the senior class meets this week it may well start the movement. It is an opportunity for the different class organizations to show their worth. The Y. M. C. A. thould be interested in the proposal. Many of the Nebraska students at Ft. Entiling we may never see again. None of us knows what the future holds, but the chances are that some of the Cornhuskers will die on the battlefield. Let us remember this, and show them that we are remembering it. some potash deposits for fertilizers has become acute throughout the United States.
