Today campus problems are over shadowed by the election of a man to presidency of the United States. The outcome is more in doubt, the issues more fundamental, perhaps, than they have been for many years. The Republican party is standing on its record. The Democrats are at tacking that record on the basis of numerous Senate investigatons. The Progressives charge both the old par ties are corrupt and are appealing for mendations which may be overruled or disregarded. Other statements of purpose de clare that "the Council shall have power of relating all extra curricula activity to one another and to the University, the creation of such other expressions of student life as shall supplement those already establish ed." Are not those remarkably Kansas and Nebraska Rrofessors Discuss Engineering Education At the meeting of the Kansas-Nebraska section of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, held at Kansas University last week when Dean O. J. Ferguson of the College of Engineering of the Uni- specific in detail?

Upon that quicksand, the Council is expected "to develop into a real agency for the exnression of intelligent student opinion." The recent penalty imposed by a faculty court of no appeals pene trated far from the curricula of the University and deep into the person al lives of students. Student social life is a tender subject and has been the point for prejudiced attacks from unscrupulous newspapers, members of legislatures, and uninformed per sons. Yet, Dean Heppner, with her knowledge of such, issued statements giving yellow journals that mavelous opportunity to introduce the most re pulsive distortions into their news columns. And later, Dean Engberg issued statements, not condemning the advisibility of the Council's reso lution nor supporting the action of the Committee on Student Organiza tions, but rather quibbling over phraseology that students less versed than he had drawn up. What recourse have students to this ever-increasing faculty domina tion? The Da'ly Nebraskan is an outstanding example of such. It is now a tool of the School of Journal ism and has the purpose of trying to portray the ideal journalism. The Nebraskan was first estab lished as a student newspaper and we surely need a student newspaper today. Later, the all-powerful pub lication board and its equally power ful chairman began to dictate every thing for the Nebraskan, even to the nolicv of the editorial column.

The Lincoln Gas and Electric Co. acted as host to the electrical engin eering students from 10 o'clock until noon, Saturday morning. About for ty students were guided through the plant. Paul Kreuch, '23, explained the different parts of the plant. The spray pond was inspected first. This cools water from the tur bines and can handle a million gal lons an hour. The handling equip ment and the boiler room was next seen. These are all of modern types and very eficient. All the boilers use the same stack. A model of the construction used gave some idea of the size and strength of the stack. The remainder of the trip covered the gas plant. This company is building a 66,000 volt transmission line u connect with its properties in Iowa. The sub-station for this line was shown to the students. Nebraska Alumnus Is Vice-President W. H. Sawyer, '94, president of the Public Utilities Company of Col umbus, Ohio, was elected second vice-president of the American Elec trical Railway Association at its re cent convention in Atlantic City, N. J. Mrs. Georgia Case Sawyer was graduated in 1897. Their son, Robert T. Sawyer, re cently made a trip around the world. On his return, he wrote an article about railways of Australia which was published in the Ohio State En gineering magazine. The Australian Commission is sending him on a lec ture tour of thirty-three American universities with a motion picture film and with 10,000 copies of this issue of the Ohio State Engineering Magazine as a program for the lec tures. "In conducting laboratory work should the instructor give the stu dents careful guidance and assistance throughout the work, or should the work be laid out clearly and the stu dents left to the proper solution without further assistance? Is it ad visable for an engineering college to employ or otherwise engage a limit ed number of practicing engineeis and executives to offer supplement ary instruction in the regular senior engineering classes. "Should we have a non-degree two or three year course for engineering students who after entering college find themselves unable to carry mathematical subjects and hence, un der our present system, are forced to drop out of college during the first year?" As a background of the meeting, the local Kansas University commit tee had made arrangements for the entertainment of the visitors. A 6 every citizen. STILL A CHANCE. The 1324 Missouri Valley title is not yet lost to Nebraska. With Mis- faculty. souri eliminated by the Huskers themselves only the Drake Bulldogs are undefeated. The Des Moines gridsters are worthy champions if the score they rolled up against Okla homa University recently is a sur indication of their strength. But they have yet to meet Ames and Kansas University, two of the most consist tenly strong teams in the conference. Because of the remarkable records of Nebraska elevens for many sea sons, the quality of game that Valley squads play against the Huskers can not be taken to show the relative strengths of those squads. Each of those elevens, if we accept the words of their supporting scribes, puts on special "polish" for Nebraska. So It is easily possible that the Bulldogs will lose their head In the near fu ture, in spite of their shut out of the Sooner. But the Huskers must make sure that another Valley team does not been discovered and must be rem edied by this cure-all system. Where is the court of appeals for the student body?

A NEW THOUGHT. The letter in the student opinion column today expresses a new thought the Student Council is a body without power or authority. The question of student self- gov ernment is not of primary import ance the writer of the letter real ises this, of course but a state ment that it does not exist at Ne braska, when it is supported so vig orously, is worthy of consideraton. Student Opinion A LAMENT. To the Editor: As a result of the resolution passed by the Student Council, the question of the faculty and its relation to the student body naturally arises. From the standpoint of a student, I should like to know where the rtuont has an opportunity to express his opinion in regard to matter that vitally con cerns him. It has been said that the Student Council would fill that need but what student can believe such tc canvassing the freshmen in his fra ternity.

As a football player he's a good poet IET'S admit that all men are not born for J gridiron honors, just as all men are not bom poets. You can admire a man's grit for plugging away at the thing that comes hardest to him. He does derive benefit in developing himself -where he is weakest. But to achieve real success it is only common wisdom to pick out the line for which you have a natural aptitude and go to it Particularly if you are a freshman it may be useful to remind you of this principle, because it can help you start offon the right foot in both your campus activities and your college courses. If your fingers love the feel of a pencil, why not obey that impulse and come out for the publications? You can serve Alma Mater and yourself better as a first-class editor than a third class halfback. . Similarly, when it comes to electing your col lege courses, you will be happier and more effi cient if you choose in accordance with your natural aptitude. The world needs many types of men. Find your line, and your college course will be a prep aration for a greater success. Yestem Electric Company Suvt i&s? maktn and 3iitrihuton tf tltctrual equtpmmt Ararir I ritSSFWt
