Although the Library buys approx imately 6000 books per year, there is no increased buying this spring, There are few books of exceptional interest being bought due to the con dition of the Library fund. ized in 1923, although a course in news writing was offered as early as the mid-nineties. In 1925 it was ad mitted to .the American Association of Schools and Departments of Jour nalism composed of the eighteen Class A institutions in the country. "Journalistic instruction at the University of Nebraska purposes three major thLigs: first to ground its students thoroughly in the ele ments of a broad, general culture. Second, the acquisition of technical training in news writing and report ing, editing, editorial writing, writing srecial feature articles, and in spe cialized fields of newspaper work. Third, a purpose subsidiary to the others and springing in part from them, the development of those jurl- ftis of trind and cfearactrr "U-? make for honesty, fairness, tolerance, and diligence."

Dean Candy also stated that many students reach his office without hav ing the white schedule forms prop erly filled out These forms must accompany the regular registration blanks and to avoid delay and con gestion in the Dean's office they should be filled out at the same time as the official registration blanks.

PRICE 5 CENTS COUNCIL ASKS FOR POWER TO NAME CHAIRMEN Petition Committee on Student Organization for Control Of Varsity Dances ASSERT CHANGES NEEDED Petition States that Lack of Support in Past Year Indi cates Need for Renovation The Student Council will present today to the faculty committee on student organizations a petition ask ing that the selection of the Varsity Dance committee members for the coming year and in the future be under the direct supervision of that body, according to James Jensen, president of that organization in a statement issued following the special meeting held last evening in Temple 204. The contents of the petition fol low: The Student Council of the Uni versity of Nebraska does hereby peti tion the committee 'on student organ izations to make as a part of their official duties the selection of Var sity Dance committee members; that is, the executive oficers, the chair man, secretary, and four committee; heads will be selected by the Student Council with the advice of one mem of the faculty committee on student organizations and with the recom mendations of the officers of the Varsity Dance committee for the preceding year. Reasons Are Given The reasons for this request are as follows: 1. Varsity parties are the key to the spirit of th university students, be cause the .rsity parties should be so organized and conducted that they would form a common recreation for both the organized fraternities and sororities and the large unorganized group. 2. Varsity partiea have not re ceived the support and backing nec essary to make them successful, fi nancially and socially, therefore some changes should be brought about 3. The Student Council has no means of defraying its own expenses. (The erpenses during the past year have been borne by the Varsity Dance Committee.) (Continued on Page Three.)

Helen Van Gil der is making arrangements for the sing. At the same meeting a number of important changes were made in the A. W. S. program for the coming year. The Cornhusker Luncheon sponsored by the Board and held on Homecoming Day for the a number of years has been taken off the pro gram of A. W. S. activities because it is felt that it has ceased to serve the purpose for which the luncheon was first started. "The Cornhufiker Luncheon has not seemed to promote the proper spirit among University women, as most of the interest in the luncheon has seemed forced," states Helen Anderson, president of the board, in commenting on the luncheon, "Ad I feel that there are more worthwhile projects that the board might spon sor." The general opinion of the other members of the Board were of the same nature concerning the lunch eon. Orrel Rose Jack feels that it has been unprofitable and unsuccess ful for the last three years.
