Business Manager Otto Skold Circulation Manager THE SINGLE TAX. A iiifrle tax plan will soon be pro pi sod by the Student Council. This plan proposes that every student pay a certain fee at the beginning of the school year, and this fee covers en trance to all athletic contests, dra matic productions, debates, mixers, convocations, University Night, Ivy Day, and pays. for the. Daily Nebras kan subscription and medical super vision throughout the year. In lit 17. a vote was taken on a similar proposal, and students and parents voted in favor of such a plan. The matter was referred to the Board of Regents at that time, but the board was not in favor of it. The proposal of the Student Coun cil will be submitted to the students at an election, and if the plan is favored by the student ballot, it will be adopted. Compliance would be made optional with each student. Members of the student Council state that the plan will be taken to the Board of Regents if the students favor it, and that an effort will be made to have this single tax compul sory to all registered students. The plan unquestionably has some merit. The Daily Nebraskan plans t print a number of communications and would like to have students write short opinions of the merits or de fects of this plan.

THINKS MORE BASKETBALL LETTERS SHOULD BE AWARDED. To the editor, student body and those interested in greater and better ath letics for the University of Nebraska: The writer wishes to take this op portunity of expressing his opinion and what the writer feels is the gen eral sentiment of the student body as well as the entire state in regard to the awarding of the much coveted "N" to the basketball men a few days Jigo. The general policy of the Univer sity has been to award a man a letter when he has earned it. How many people are there in the University or in the whole state who are of the opinion that ten men did not earn their letters this year in basketball? If a questionaire was to be sent to every student in the University Ask ing an opinion on this, the writer feels that the answer would be un animous for the ten men and not six, as there were really only six letters awarded. What kind of an athletic board of control does the University have that tells a man they are awarding him a letter for his "faithful service." Rufus Dewitz has worked hard for THE PHI BETA KAPPA MEMO RIAL. A memorial building will be erected at William and Mary College to the fi'iy founders of Phi Be;; Kappa. !,'ii.n;;l honorary frate..i'y rnd jid'.'t of the Gi:-k letter organ isations. This meiv.rial will also cummcwrnte the 15'Hh anniverc?ry of the fraternity. The .jational council of this v gar.i.at:t n is conducting the fi a ;.ear campaign for the funds with which the memorial will be ererted Members in all parts of the country aio contributing to this camp.iifi, and ih se eor.tnbut'ons are crcd t.d to the chapter to which the donar belongs. This memorial is a noteworthy re cognition of the history and achieve ments of this organization. Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest of the Greek let ter college organizations, and is the forerunner of the present fraternity system. Phi Beta Kappa is a notable frater nity and has numbered among its members, some of the greatest minds in this country. It is fitting that a memorial should be erected to the f under. Student Opinion. parision to the number of men taking part in the sport. Three men worked unusually hard for over three months nd did not receive letters. Yet they made every trip, played in almost every game and Nebraska finished in third place in the Valley. Now is there any justice in that sort of a thing? How many of those three think they have a chance to make a letter in basket ball next year if they come out and work hard? Consorvativeness is a good and strong policy when followed along the right lines but there is a chance of one being too conservative and the writer feels that the athletic board was too conservative in this instance. Nebraska, should have a championship basketball team next year with all the veterans back and it probably wouldn't be a good psyc ologieal reaction on the new men coming out for basketball to find too many letter men out for the sport but this is one instance when the writer feels this should have been overlooked and the chances are there would be a harder fight for places on the team than there probably will be. The University invites over two thousand contesting athletes down Nebraska during the last two years jlere eacn pp,-ing for the greatest bas and had the honor of being elected j ketball tournament In the world in captain of the football team. He was j hopes of interesting these future declared ineligible for this and is J Cornhuskers more in athletics and practically through with athletics tno University itself, and basketball here. particularly. How many of these This man refused to take the let- i men are coming here if they don't think they have a chance of winning a letter in that sport when they ter, and who can blame him for not taking it when he has worked hard and faithfully and represented the University in so many contests and probably has done as much to bring fame to the name of Nebraska as any two members of the athletic beard of control or all of them. If Nebraska is going to continue the policy of awarding only seven letters a year for basketball how many men are they going to have out for the sport in a few years? Every Big Ten school and every other Missouri Valley school awards at least ten letters to their men for basketball. Why can't Nebraska do this? If there is any way in which a sport can be weakened it is the lack of compctiton between the men and if a man feels that he will not have a chance for a letter is he coming out for that sport? Nebraska is strong in football and track, largely due to the fact that there are a good many letters awarded in each individual sport and the men know they have a good chance to win a letter. In football there are twenty-two letters awarded, some of the men re ceiving them played only a few min utes of three games. The season is much shorter than basketball, the training less strenuous, yet a much larger number of men receive letters for football than basketball in corn- know that they can go to some other school where they will have a chance to win, a letter. They will undoubtedly have a chance, but how much in comparison with the opportunity they will have at other schools? Why shouldn't they for this reason alone choose some other shcool Where they will at least have a fair chance? Nebraska awards from six to seven more letters in football than any other school in the United States and why couldn't a few of these men be deprived of the great and honorable privilege of wearing an "N" if they are going to cut down the number of men receiving the basketball letters to such a limited number. The writer may have the wrong would like to see some more senti ment along this line in the columns of this paper, for or against the awarding of a few more letters to the basket ball men who have earned and deserve them. A BASKETBALL FAN. The College Press. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?' (The Daily Kansan) In a recent survey conducted by the Central Missouri State Teachers THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BALL. To the Editor: I have not seen anything in the Daily Nebraskan for several days as to what progress, if any, the Junior Senior joint committee is making on the Junior-Senior Prom. It may be that they are sleeping, and if so, I hope that they will not wake up until it is too late for them to go on with their half-baked plans. This committee should consider very carefully whether they have the right to take the chance of staging a losing proposition from a financial viewpoint and thereby again running tLe classes into debt, so that the mem bers can go into their pockets and dig up to get the classes out of debt again. There should be some way for interested persons to stop this out rage. If the rrom will pay its way, all well and good, but this committee should be forced to give an account ing and some sort of financial state ment before they are allowed to con tinue with their plans.
