Bis subject was, "A General Discus

The address was followed by a short
Meeting of the society to adopt a

mers now have to work very much
wder than in former year and get
o more for it, proving that, altho
Jtatistics do not shpw it, the fer
w'ty of the soil is alarmingly de
feasing. The scientists however,
ca get nowhere until the farmer is
'"ade to see the calamity that is ap
proaching him and tries to work out

ganic matter back into the soil when

ON HISTORICAL STUDY
Says History Is One of Most
Fundamental Subjects in
Curriculum.
"History is one of the most funda
mental subjects in a university cur
riculum," Dr. F. M. Fling of the
history department told freshman
lecture students of the College of
Arts and Sciences in his lecture on
"The Significance of Historical
Study," Monday evening and Tues
day morning. He compared history
with other subjects, pointing out
that history concerns everyone.
The narrow and the broad are two
relations of- education to life, Dr.
Fling sad. The narrow, dealing with
the acquisition of material things,
seems to dominate. The broad, deal
ing with the spiritual, is the one
worth while. History comes under
the latter classification, he explaned.
"Making a living is viewing life
from the economical side," Dr.
Fline declared. "Technical subjects
strengthen the narrow point of view.
They should not be studied until after
a broad general education has been
secured.
"I am not in sympathy with turn
ing the undenrraduate college of this
University into a vcational school. I
don't believe that the people of the
state should be taxed to bring stu-

Mrs. Roy Green Tells Women
of History and Purpose
of Campaign.
The first Lenten Vesper service of
the season, held Tuesday evening at
5 o'clock in Ellen Smith hall, formal
ly opened the tenth annual Grace
Coppock campaign for funds with
which to support a foreign mission
ary. Mrs. Roy Green, who was a mem
ber of the Universtity Y. W. C. A.
cabinet when the first similar drive
was initiated, spoke at length con
cerning the history and purpose of
the campaign, and gave n account
of the activities of the late Grace
Coppock as a missionary.
Dr. John Andrew Holmes of the
Plymouth Congregational church, in
his address on "The Meaning of
Lent" asserted that, although Lent
is probably more generally observed
by the Catholics, it is an institution
as wide as Christendom itself and
belongs equally to the Protestant
churches. "The Lenten season is
primarily a period of penance and
faith," declared Dr. Holmes.
Margaret Williams, chairman of
the Grace Copock drive, lead the ser
vices. Helen Kinquist sang a solo.

SUBMIT PROPOSAL
FOR STUDENT TAX
Council Considers Plan for
Single Tax to Do Away
with Drives.
ASK FOR OPINIONS
OF SUGGESTED PLAN
The student council has received
one proposal for a single tax plan and
is carefully considering its merits.
The single tax plan, which would
take care of all student expenses and
do away with all campaigns and
drives is being brought up for the
third time.
In 1916 and again in 1917, stu
dents voted strongly in favor of the
plan but it was vetoed by the regents
both times. It is expected that a
general referendum vote will be
called within the next two weeks,
according to Clifford Hicks, presi
dent of the student council.
The plan which follows is not def
inite, but is merely being considered.
The council, however, is asking that
comments on this plan as well as the
idea in general be written and sent
to the Daily Nebraskan. With a fair
idea of the students' opinion on the
subject, the council will be able to.
do much more toward perfecting the
single tax plan, say members.
Cover All Event.
In almost every plan, the single
tax covers admission to all athletic
events, subscription to all university
publications, admission to theatrical
productions and various intercollegi
ate contests.
It is possible that the plan may
be adopted by the students even
though the regents may veto it, ac
cording to the council. It has not
been decided as yet how many votes
in its favor would start the plan, but
it is intimated that if 2000 students
vote in favor, the,re is practically no
doubt that the University of Nebras
ka will have a single tax plan.
The plan which is now being con
sidered by the council would allow
a student to become a member of
the student body only by the pur
chase of a single tax ticket, but it
would not bar him from entering the
University.
The Suggested Plan.
Ownership of a single tax ticket
will be a condition precedent to the
following:
1. Student privileges in any class
either for school, college or subdi
vision thereof.
2. Any office on the Daily Ne
braskan, Cornhusker or any recog
nized college publication.
3. Membership in any extra cam
pus organization which has been rec
ognized by the student affairs com
mittee. 4. Certified membership on any
athletic team, such certification to
be made by the coach in that re
spective branch.
5. Certified membership in any
other general recognized school ac
tivity distinct from the actual in
struction of the university course.
May Refund Part.
For any person who may be a cer
tified member of one or more of
the recognized general school activi
ties already set forth above a re
fund from the single tax fund may
be made of that proPrtion pid to
the activity in which he is a certified
member by reason of his services
therein.
The controlling board of the sin
gle tax fund shall be composed of
the student activities agent, the burs
ar of the university, and two senior
representatives of the student coun
cil. A provision for a fifth mem
ber of the controlling board shall be
made in having the ex-president or
president of the council act as a
member for the first year after the
adoption of the plan. After the
first year, the fifth member shall be
a junior or senior elected at large
by the whole school. This board
shall have complete control of the
funds of this agreement. Other than
for the general fund, no jurisdiction
for the expenditures of the propor
tion for each activity will be 'exer
cised by this board but this rwer
to disburse will remain as hniori
in the regular constituted authority.
Complete jurisdiction over disburse
ment from the general fund will be
vested in the controlling board here
in designated.
Abolish Drive.
Upon the acceptance of this agree
ment, all drives, campaigns, and Fe
licitations whatever are positively
