FOR SENIORS ONLY
It's out at last! That much-discussed
and breathlessly-waited-for
list of senior class committees for the
first semester has been announced.
Now that the semester is three
fourths pone, we at last find out
what it is we were supposed to have
been dointr for our class during the
first semester.
All of the seniors who have been
watching The Daily Nebraskan so
closely during the last few months
for the committee lists can now cease
their anxiety and those of us who
were so lucky as to be named a mem
ber of one of the committees can feel
complimented that we were chosen
after deliberation that took so long.
And the best thing of it all is that
we're going tt have a senior hop. We
seniors are not going to let the jun
iors put anything over on us; if they
can have a dance so can we. Ours
is going to be formal and exclusive
and everything; if you don't believe
f oct nnr nrpsident. He even told
v . i'
resolution hoping that its enforce
ment would not be necessary. In fact,
th Council has not the power to dic
tate when fraternities shall not have
parties. But if the Greeks continue
to disregard tho requests of the Var
sity Pance committee and tho Stu
dent Council, steps can be taken by
the committee on student organiza
tions which will restrict University
parties on certain prescribed eve
nings. We are not expressing the opinion
that the present Varsity dances are
not successful. They are. There is
enough of an attendance to assure
the continuation of tho parties with
out seeking to regulate the Greek
parties. But stop to consider the pos
sibilities of the All-University parties
if even half of the students who at
tend these private functions would
go to the University party.
The present Varsity dances would
then take their place on the campus
as the important social event of the
week-end, as they do at other schools
It would afford .students a place to
gather, where outsiders were not ad
mitted, and where a congenial and
representative University gathering
could enjoy a wholesome evening's
entertainment
We hope the student council will
not have to ask the committee on stu
dent organizations to take any more
steps than have already been taken.
If the Greeks will cooperate with
them in this plan it will not be nec
essary. If they do not, further steps
can and probably will be taken.

way, I have observed to be indulged

If one wishes to attend any of

Mr. Weir could not have chosen a

see all sides of tho truth and to give
each side a fair hearing. This be
comes a matter of personal habit and
of personal temperament. Bishop
Spalding once said very wisely, 'The
only true teaching is that which
comes from the touch of soul with

can ever become a great teacher. It
is, of course, one's duty always to
serve society, but one can serve so

tolerant spirit.
Moral Phaie in Political Opinion.
"Most political opinions have a
moral phase, but even then opinions
differ as to what is moral. A preacher
sometimes feels called upon to ex
nrosa nolitical opinions. This is un
wise. He should confine himself in his
sermons to the expression of general
principles and then urge his parish
ioners to do what each one thinks
right without attempting to tell them
whether, for instance, the gold stand
ard or silver standard is right. Let
each person investigate for himself.
If the preacher advocates the gold
standard, it is quite likely that he will
find at least one-third of his congre
gation on the other side, and h
ought not to rlBk his influence with
them by advocating that. Frlvatolj

students wish, after they have
learned to think, tell what his own
personal views are; but the real
function of the university is to build
a love for the truth and to teach the
students to seek the truth indepen.

The Council voted to send a request
to the committee on student organi

house dances, formals, or spring par

were booked.
