TO
BE HELD NEXT WEEK
Thousand Students Expected to Attend
Affair at St. Paul
Church.
The second banquot. for 1000 stu
dents this year conducted under the
auspices of the Committee of two
hundred is scheduled for March IS
at the St. Paul Church. The evening
has been declared closed on account
of the banquet and the speech to be
delivered by Bishop Homer Stuntz.
Tickets are on sale by members of the
Committee of two hundred at the
former price of 75c per plate.
The topic of the speech to be de
livered by Bishop Stuntz as well as
for the talk to be given by some mem
ber of the faculty or prominent alum
nus will be, "After College What." The
last banquet for 1000 students was
held in October at the Scottish Rite
Catlndral. At this banquet more stu
dents were present than at any othtr
University banquet ever held. Be
cause the Cathedral is not being used
fur cvh gatherings this spring, tbe
Committee in charge was forced to
sell c t some other place. The mem
l.ers are anxious that students an 1
faculty members should buy their
tickets this week in order that exact
counts may be turned in to the man
agement. Lawrence Slater is chairman of the
committee on arrangements. He an
nounces that fraternities and sorori
ties as well ai other sro.tp who v.i jli
to attend in a body should secure the
number of tickets required at the
Temple building early in the week so
that arrangements may be made. A
largo number of the houses have de
cided not to serve dinner on the night
of the banquet.
The Committee of two hundred will
be re-organized immediately after the
banquet and plans for the coming
school year will occupy its attention
during the remaining weeks of this
semester. The main reason for th?
re-organization is the desire to include
in the Committee the religious organi
zations on the campus which have not
yet come Into contact with the activi
ties of the Committee of two hundred.
The leaders of the Committee this
semester have announced that the
benefits derived this year from united
action are well worth the efforts and
that the work for the coming year'
will be more extensive than ever.

Organization Would Stay on Job
According to Resolution
Passed Monday.
TAKES A RAP AT PETITION
Group Declares Against Document
Calling for Disbanding of
3tudent Circle.
The Student Council voted
a-rainst having its organization
abolished. At a niectinr Monday
it unanimously adopted a resolu
tion as the stand, which the Stu
dent Council takes in opposition
to the reasons set, forth in the
petition submitted to the presi
dent of the Student Council prior
to the mass meetintr of March 1.
The resolution follows:
"The Student, Council is the
only organization in the Univer
sity of Nebraska that, is represen
tative of everybody on the cam
pus, men and women, fraternity and
non-fraternity people. A movement
has been started to abolish the Stu
dent Council. The reasons for this
movement are stated in a petition to
the ouncil, circulated before March
second.
We, the members of the Student
Council, would like to point out some
of the fallacies in this document of
glittering generalities. First, article
I, The Student Council of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, as designed and
existing at the present time, would,
if it should function, coerce the well
defined and properly placed powers
of the Dean of Women and the Execu
tive Dean. Specifically, what powers?
And specifically, how? It sounds
threatening, but it is not supported
by facts.
The second article of the petition
is no better than the first. We are
told that The Student Council would,
if it should function, supplant the
faculty committees and bodies which
have heretofore directed well "the
scholarship, eligibility, student activi
ties, school elections, publications.
University lyceum, etc." The Stu
dent Council has never attempted to
take ny of the work of the faculty,
except the task of managing the
school elections and it was from the
students themselves that the demand
for student management of elections
came.
The third article of the petition is
