The Student Council has offered a new single tax plan, that provides for three drives each year, a separate campaign for athletics, one for ac tivities, and another for charities. This new plan seems to have rem edied many of the objections that were offered against the other plan. The new plan seems practical. Al though it would consist of three cam paigns, it would eliminate phe ten or twelve that we now have and would partially solve this problem. The new plan would be just and fair to every student of the Univer sity, for it divides the activities into three separate groups and the student can take all or two or one or none of these. This plan would not work a hard ship upon any student, because it is up to the individual to subscribe or not, as he sees fit. Then too, each person can support those activities in which he is more interested and no one will be forced to contribute to wards activities in which he has not the slightest interest. The new plan should be acceptable to the athletic department as it leaves the sale of athletic tickets in the same position as before. There will be sep arate sale of athletic tickets the same as in previous years. The new plan is necessarily of an .optional nature and there will pro bably be no need of submitting it to the Board of Regents. The new plan is just and fair to every student. It reduces the number of selling cimp&igns to three. It is optional to the student whether he contributes cr nm. The p'an- should mei-t with the cjinreva! r.f all con cur od. "THE MARK. OF A KAN." Honesty, decency, chivalry, self-respect and industry were pronounced 'Tbe Marks of a Mar." by President Burton of the University of Michigan speaking at a convocation there re cently. President Burton's enumeration of these five fundamental qualities was prompted by a consideration of cer tain things in the life of the Univer sity which he regards as evil and by recent occurrences which he charac terized as being "about as raw as any thing I have encountered in fifteen years of administrative appearance." He exhorts the students to a sense of their responsibility to the Univer sity and described the prevalence of laziness, vulgarity, lack of self-restraint and individuality among stu dents. He made it clear that he wel comes intelligent criticism of Univer sity policies and conditions, but he finds most of it "futile if not absurd." He deplored " the unusal facilities for self-expression by certain unrep aentative minorities." President Burton is a great educa tor, and we greatly respect his opin ions. Some of his criticisms of Michi gan students will apply to University of Nebraska. At least the principles he seta forth, are worthy of the thought of all. letic ticket. Now all this seemed ter rible to me because of my high school training. There a football game is a big event; all the business houses close and even the farmers stop corn shucking to go to the game. That is what I consider real support. It seems to me that the single tax system as proposed for jNeDrasica would go a long way in uniting the student body behind athletics, de bates and other school activities. A good example was last year's basket ball team. They lost many games but still had fair support Why? Simply because students had tickets. Once there they were enthusiastic rooters. If the single tax system were to be used many students would go to things which they never think of now, simply because it's paid for. Thus they help themselves, help the event they were seeing and make a more united student body. I am strongly in favor of the single tax as far as University events are concerned, but not for the individual college activities such as papers, Farmer's Fair, and others. As far as working a hardship on some, it would merely increase the fees a little and no one would think about it after the first year or so. E. R. C. The College Press. western, then will the consensus of opinion rally to the cause of higher scholarship. High scholarship is worth while, not merely for making the mind a storehouse for so many facts and de tails, but for training the mind to think accurately and clearly. A mind that has been trained to thoroness and concentration in college will con tinue to act in the same manner in later life. Thinkers are always- in demand and there is a high price for their servieas. High scholarship de velops good thinking, and good think ing is valuable. Did some one doubt that high scholarship is worth while? After all, are we not at Northwestern to train our minds? Notices.

The intensity of the new interest which is being paid to the subject of undergraduate scholarship and the low standard of campus attitude to the seriousness of study may be gleaned from the organized effort that the Alumni Association is de voting to the problem. The morale of stud-ant regard for class-room activities has reached a point of stagnation. Study is not popular. It comes in for last consid eration in students' time allotment, and usually the allotment is very scanty and insufficient. Its posi tion in the rank of university, duties is very subordinate. The chief am bition is merely to "get by" with a C and to ward off probation. The general retort to any discus- Lion of this subject is that "what a man learns in college won't do him a great deal of good after he is out, anyway." Answers which have been received to a questionnaire sent out to alumni tend to prove that the op posite is true. The rebuttal to a presentation of the benefits of study is usually based on the comparative values of the va rious phases of campus life. Popular stress is laid on the development of character and personality to be gajined from social contacts. And there is some truth in the statement. It is foolish to deny the good training derived in good fellowship, the build ing of poise and personality. But it must be remembered that the idea of social training was not the motive for establishing colleges and univer sities. Educational institutions are endowed for the purpose of higher learning. All benefits other than learning are results and not causes. They are secondary prizes which are included free of charge in tuiti ,n.

A party for all Congregational stu dents will be held at the Plymouth Congregational Church Thursday. A motor corps will tabs the students in cars from the First Congregational church at 7:20. Student Opinion. THE SINGLE TAX. Cambridge, Nebraska To the Editor: As a student in high school thought that Nebraska athletics were the greatest in the world and that a football game was a signal for every student to drop what he was doing and go out and boost for his team But much to my sorrow, I found other conditions existing. Many students think nothing of working on Saturday afternoon of a game. Others will in dulge in other pleasures, while still more think they can't afford an ath- Lutherana.
