THE STUDENT COUNCIL
On the twenty-fifth day of May, 1917, the students of the Univer
sity of Nebraska adopted the proposed plan for a Student Council, by
a vote of 216 to 17. Tha verdict of the students was practically
unanimous in favor of the Council. In adopting the student council
idea, Nebraska followed the lead of many other large universities
and colleges in the country. The movement is democratic in nature,
and places within the power of the student body, the right to control
all matters realting to student life that may be referred to it, and
such other matters as may bo initiated by it. The purpose of the
body is summed up in the following extract from the Student Council
Constitution:
"The purpose of this organization shall be the relating of all
extra-cuTicula activities to one another and to the University as a
whole; the creation of such other expressions of student life as shall
supplement those already established; the direction of such other
matters of student interest as shall be initiated by or referred to the
Student Council. The council shall also act as a student court to in
vestigate and make recommendations in such cases of minor discipline
as shall be referred to it by the executive dean and the dean of
women."
Because of unsettled conditions brought about by the war last
year, it was decided to lay the Council aside until student life re
turned to normal. President conditions seem to indicate that the
plan will be put into operation sometime before the end of this
semester; this is the members of the Council for next year will be
elected before the close of the school year.
As the Constitution now stands, no definite time is designated for
the election of the members of the Student Council. For this reason
it has been thought best to make a change regarding this point, and
to choose a definite date on which the Student Council election will
be regularly held. The second Tuesday in May has been suggested by
responsible students, as a possible date for the election. This date
comes near the end of the college year, thus giving the student body
the entire year in which 1o make their choice of members for the
Council.
The question of making this change in the Constitution will be
submitted to the student tody at the polls tomorrow. If the change
is not made the whole future of the Council for this year will be In
definite. Perhaps no definite dale will be set. Anybody's job is no
body's job. Students, then, who are desirous of definitely fixing the
date of the Student Council election will vote for the change in the
Constitution. Remember that the Student Council plan renders the
student body all-powerful in matters directly touching upon student
affairs, and thta the sooner students come into their rights, the more
enthusiastic will be the interest shown in student affairs, and the
more unified will be the college spirit.
HUSKERS STRIDE
TOWARD VICTORY

through the net. Reynolds, Gillilan,
Bailey anl Neumann came in for their
share of the honors.
Gym Is Packed
The Nebraska gym did not look
like itself on a Saturday night for
every seat was occupied and the
spectators were packed against the
end wall in the balcony, which all
goes to show that Cornhuskers are
not dead when a real thriller is on
the card. The yelling and spontaneous
cheering was the most gratifying
noise that the boys had heard for
years and it undoubtedly factored ma
terially in the victories.

Referee, Jones, GrinneU.
The Missouri Tigers lost their first
conference game this season to the
Huskers Friday evening on the Ar
mory floor, the final count being 21
to 14. The loss of the preliminary
game with Nebraska pulled them
from the lead and the Huskers moved
into the vacant throne. Nebraska
started the scoring and was never
headed.
Once again the old armory was
packed, and trembled to the echoes of
old number one. The Huskers took
up the spirit with the first blast of
Referee Jones' whistle and rushed the
ball immediately into Tiger territory.
Inside of two minutes Shelly had
dropped a couple through and Jack
quickly followed with another. The
Huskers simply rushed them off their
feet, and guarded so closely that the
Tiger forwards couldn't get within
range. Reynolds stuck to Captain
Ruby like an octupus and turn and
twist as the Tiger forward would,
good old Reynolds or Bailey were be
tween him and the basket. Only
toward the end of the half did he
manage to sneak one in. At the end
of the first six minutes the score
stood 10 to 7. . Both teams then
tightened and fought like demons.
Shelly played the best and fastest
game of his life. He seemed to be in
every play, blocking like a fiend and
locating the basket A goal from the
scarlet and cream center followed by
a pretty Jacksonian toss brought the
count to 14 and 7. Shelly soon shot
another and the half nded 16 to 8
for Nebraska.
The Tigers struggled desperately at
m...nlnK of the second half to get
into their stride and head the Husk
ers. The first 10 minutes of this
period the spectators were treated to
as close and fierce a fight as was
. ... ..,! in the old gym. The
fighting guards on both ends of the
lloor fought the enemy from the dan
ger eone and mussed up all attempts
at the netted ring. Shelly was by-
all odds playing the hardest of any
warrior In the arena and he was
warned bv the score keeper that three
personals were checked again him.
Four minutes had paused and no
score. Jackson managed to get with
in passing range several times, but
Schroeder was always so close that
they all went wild. The Tiger guard
fought Jack so close and hard that a
personal on the Missourian let C.illy
slip in the first counter of the half.
The Huskers battled determinedly to
maintain their lead. Bailey and Rey
nolds formed a wall of stone through
which the star Tiger count grabers,
Rubby and Scott, absolutely failed
to penetrate. The lanky Vogt finally
bagged one and at the end of the
first ten minutes only three counts
had been chalked up.
The score shows the fierce nature
of the contest. Shelly and Reynolds
committed one personal each during
this period, while Bailey was guilty
of two. Newman replaced Bailey at
this point and Browning went In for
Scott. "Dick" seemed to inject some
concentrated high explosive pep into
the Cornhusker cylinders for with a
flash the bounding sphere passed
from "Dick" to Gilly to Jack and the
resounding roar testified to a bull's
eye. Starting on high, Jack sped
down for another, but just as the ball
flew from his fingers Referee Jones'
eye was damaged suddenly and a
desperate blast from his whistle rob
bed the Huskers of a counter. The
score stood 19 to 11 with six minute-s
to go. The Tiger seemed to feel his
hold on the throne to slip and leaped
savagely to catch up with and over
take the red and white warriors. He
gathered strength and momentum but
the fighting Cornhusker center broke
away for his fourth goal of the eve
ning. Four minutes remained. Mis
souri attempts desperately to get the
ball into her territory. Captain Ruby
succeeds in eluding Reynolds for "s
only counter during the game. Two
minutes left. Browning drops in a
free throw and the game is over, 21
to 14, the Tigers have lost their first
game of the season and dropped into
third place.
To fighting Shelly belongs the lau
rels of the game. His four floor goals
placed him at the top of the scoring
colums while the way he stuck to
Vogt held the star Tiger to two coun
ters. The guarding of Reynolds, Bail
ley and Neumann needs no comment.
The tabulated data shows that the
two Missouri forwards bagged only
one floor goal between them. Schroe
der and Coffey guarded a close game,
but Jackson and Gillilan slipped
through with five floor goals.
Nebraska clearly outplayed the
erstwhile leaders. Dr. Stewart's men
early jumped into the lead and main
tained it in spite of the most despe
rate attempts on the part of Coach
Miller's gafesters. The Tigers met
their match and the game may prove
their Waterloo.
