Attorney General Declares
Proposal for Control
Change Void
In an opinion sent to Governor
McMullcn by Attorney General O.
S. Splllman regarding the legality
of the constitutional amendment re
cently ratified by the people of the
' slate, Mr. Splllman expressed the
b lief that the amendment Is void,
and would be held so by the courts.
The amendment proposed to trans
fer the control of the state school
for deaf at Omaha and the statu
school for blind at Nebraska, from
the state board of control to the re
gents of the university.
Following the election, the mat
ter of the legality of the advertis
ing was raised. According to the
state constitution the election must
be advertised four week! Immedi
ately preceding the election In one
newspaper in each count.'. The
amendment was published once in
each county, and this two months
or more before election. This did
not constitute sufficient compli
ance with the constitution, accord
ing to the attorney general.
In advising the governor the re
port suggests that the governor
proclaim the amendment carried by
vote, but leave the matter open to
a judicial dttermlnation. It was
urged that such a decision be made
as soon as possible In order to
make proper provisions In the leg
islative appropriations.

To the Campus
'Wans' for 'an engineer's council

p'bmission to the Student council
for approval. A meeting was held
Tuesday night in M. E. 205 of the
faculty advisors, presidents, ana
secretaries of the departmental or

that the Nebraska Engineering so
ciety was not fulfilling Its purpose
Accordingly, on December 6, Theo
dore Biaschke. president of that
organization, called a meeting of
the departmental society officers
and faculty advisor to make some
plan for reorganization. At the
meeting Tuesday the constitution
was accepted.
Before the details of the new
plan can be published they will
have to be accepted by the student
council and faculty committee on
student organizations.
The organizations that will be
represented In the new engineer's
council are the American Society

AI FORUM MEETING
Stages the Impression That
Argentine Has of the
Monroe Doctrine
IS THIRD OF SERIES
James A. Cuneo, of Argentina,
addressed the World Forum meet
ing at' the Nebraskan hotel
Wednesday noon on the impres
sions Argentina has of the Monroe
Doctrine. This meeting was the
third of the second series held this
year.-
Cuneo said it seems to Argentina,
that the Monroe Doctrine is an
Item in the foreign policy of the
United States and not a doctrine to
be subscribed to by all the other
countries of this hemisphere. When
It was first promulgated it was ac
cepted by the Latin-American coun
tries as an agreement? of mutual
benefit.
As time went on, however, it
seemed to the Latin-American
countries that the United States
used it as a means of keeping Eu
ropean countries from getting what
she wanted to take herself, he said.
Doctrine Used for Intervention.
"It seemed that the United
States used the Monroe Doctrine
for intervention into Internal af
fairs of the Latin-American coun
tries," said Cnneo. "Argentina's
reason for not taking pe-t in the
pan-American conference at Wash
ington this month was the side
tracking of her request at the last
conference in Havana which had
to 4 with the matter or -United
States intervention with internal
affairs in the Latin-American coun
tries. "My position Is not one of criti
cism but a desire for a better un
derstanding, on the part of the
United States, of the Impression
made on Latin-American countries
by the United States action toward
tbem In the past," Cuneo said.
Mr. Cuneo is an assistant In
structor In the Romance languages
at the university, and Is also taking
graduate work, in the . college of
Business Administration.

ties to choose their proper life pro
fessions. "Get on the job, stay

Or Lewandowskl Will
Be Starters
Nebraska Varsity basketball
team will officially open its 1928-
1929 season tonight when it meets
the South Dakota State five on the
Coliseum court at 8 o'clock.
Last night Coach Charles Black
ran his proteges through a long
session of passing formations, sig
nal drill, pivoting and basket
shooting. With probably better
conditioned men than he had at
the beginning of the season last
year, Black will send his squad
against South Dakota State to
night. Witte, Grace, Maclay, Holm, and
Krall or Lewandowskl are slated
to don the scarlet and cream avt
the tip-off tomorrow night. Coach
Black expressed the opinion that,
with such an array of talent of
practically the same caliber, it was
difficult to pick a team to start
the game. According to his pre
dictions, several men who recently
reported for practice after football
season will be in better shape for
the later games In the season.
Maclay Is Find
Maclay seems to be a find at
center. He handles himself well
at center, especially In getting the
tip-off and starting off the smash
ing offensive plays. The other five
scheduled for most of the work-out
tonight are veterans, having played
one season of Varsity basketball.
Both the Witte and Grace, and
the Holm and rall combinations
worked consistently last year, and
with the agility of Maclay should
develop Into a winning combina
tion. Nothing can be gotten concern
ing the South Dakota five, but ru
mor has it that the aggregation Is
composed of all state high school
men, and South Dakota puts out
some f&"t -hlgh-echool quiutote.
Their coach is "Cy" Casper, former
Notre Dame athlete, and the boys
call themselves the Jackrabblts
which may call for a real game
tonight.
Nebraska men will wear their
new suits tonight, it was an
nounced yesterday. The squad has
been outfitted with two new suits,
one scarlet and the other cream
colored, and a sweat suit combina
tion. Giant floodlights will provide
better ilumlnatlon tonight than
was had last year. The opening
tip-off will be at 8 o'clock.
