Seemingly " answer to rontinus, charge of
procrastination, the student council has made
preparation for immediate anion on the matter
of proportional representation in lhat body.
The meeting time of the group has been
changed to Wednesday evening this week so
that the originator of the plan will be able to
attend and explain phase which reed clari
fication. The vigor with which ihe council is inves
tigating this new plan is entirely commend
able but the tendency toward haste is deplor
able. In its eagerness to. do something
promptly, the council is running a risk of pick
ing upon a project which requires, more than
any other, a large amount of careful considera
tion and deliberation.
That thoroughness is desirable is indiratd b
tie council in its changing of the meeting time,
wlioily for the aecomodnt.on of the author of
ihe pfan. But in the determination to act im
i icd'ately, the council in a wh eontnidici
i-lf.
Ti-at the plan is radie! is an obvious iruHi.
;in.l Iiy that we do not mii:i ths' ii is in au

The council now occupies a position oi i'
K,rtaiice in the matter of student K-pk-cruuiciit.
With the introduction of t lie new system, it
may become more important, or it may .,.
Tliat is an issue for the council to decide, f-ud
it is an issue which cannot be decided binidi.i.
Here in one instance where ,,poki' g along" is
justifiable.
The Crying Meed.
Fifty men, representing fraternities on the
university campus and several nonfraternity
men, struck the keynote to a crying need when
a discussion was held last week concerning the
remodeling of the V. M. ('. A. club rooms to ac
commodate more Nebraska men.
Behind the times in this respect, the 1'niyer
sity of Nebraska has no Student Union build
ing, and maintains only a place where the
women students may congregate. The present
Y. M. C. A. club rooms accommodate very few
students and generally only those who are non
fraternity men.
The fraternity men, who at this meeting were
interested enough in fraternal betterment, de
cided to back the Y. M. C. A. finance drive
which is now under way, in an effoil to accom
plish that which has heretofore been impos
sible. The Daily Nebraskan heartily endorses
the iiction of this august group in attempting
to nise this money to elevate the standards of
campus fraternal relationship. Concerted -f-fort
and allegiance among fraternities cannot
be denied as being a factor in the magnitude of
campus relations. Members of Greek groups on
this campus do like to "get together," talk
over their common problems, discuss rushing
rules and carry on such business tis will be
necessary for the organizations.
Universities throughout the country art com
pleting magnificent Student Union buildings
devoted to the students, their meetings and
their campus relations. This institution has a
greater need for a new library', "d several
other buildings as outlined in the proposed
campus development plan.
Nebraska men do not ask unreasonably of
their fellow students when they voice their ap
peal for enlargement of the Y. M. C. A. club
rooms. This organization does noble work in
1he university among young men. Freshmen
find solace and understanding in discussions
provided by the YM. G. A. and the type of
work carried on by this national group cannot
be rivaled by individual teachings, ll truly is
deserving of all the help it can get.
Music and music alone bath charms to
calm the savage breast. When ihrep volleys of
rifle fire in memory of the university's honored
dead Saturday failed to stop the Gornhuskers
in their process of warming up, 1he blowing to
taps finally brought a momentary pause.
We wonder if the announcement 'regarding
the discarding ol green caps is not a bit behind
time. It seems that most of them have been
discarded for a long time.
Bidieuloualy simple, yet completely effec
tive, was the action of the W. A. A. in "decor
ing" the apples sold at the game Saturday.
The lower s"ats in the stadium are now safe
from bombardment. Thanks.

A CihhI Sugge$tion.
To Ih.. Kditor of The Ntbrsikan:
Investigation of the duties, if any, of claw
officers at the university is being undertaken
l.v a committee appointed by the student coun
cil. Whether the ttiehtigatin. is being carried
on with serious intent or is a mere geaiure to
allay temporarily unfavorable criticism cannot
be. ascertained as yet.
The idea behind the move is an excellent
one. Glass honorancs were ilumpefl into tne
discard when it became all to obvious that they
served no worthwhile purpose on the campus.
If minor class officers can be shown to be an
, equally useless and obsolete tradition, they,
too, should go the way of the honorariea.
If, on the other hand, holders of these posi
tions perform certain offices, hitherto un
known to the university at large, it cannot be
denied that these duties should be brought to
light so that the criticism may be henceforth
s.lcneed. Go to it. counol ! The stu.lent no.iy
as a whole will watch with interest the results
of the investigation. H. N. A.

To the Kditor of The Nebraskan:
A reporter of The Daily Nebraskan staff
conies out with the announcement of a newly
invented, all university game, easily played on
the Nebraska campus, lie calls it 'plaah and
wallow." He says it may be enjoyed most in
the mud hole between Bessie hall or Social Sci
ences hall, although the drill field, with its
cindered paths, furnishes an excellent substi
tute for the mentioned mud hole. It is a simple
game in which an unlimited number of stu
dents may participate without loss of its ef
fectiveness. Each spring and fall for the past several
vears, students at dear old Nebraska U have
experienced the same difficulties during the
rainv season." Mud, mire, and miniature
swimming holes have found places on the most
traversed walks of the campus. Notable among
such examples was the crossing just south oi
Chemist rv hall. That evil has now been rem
edied, but it will be long remembered for the
disaster it brought to daintly shod maidens
and flovivg trousered youths.

provements to Ihe walks of the campus. Stu

An Unjust Accusation.
To Die Kditor of The Nebraskan:
The well meaning individual who so merci
lessly flayed musicians in the editorial column
of this paper Sunday should have availed him
self of a few facts before launching his broad
side in such a cocksure manner.
It is sure, in some measure, as he aaid, that
drunken musicians have at times caused a
somewhat disorderly atmosphere to prevail at
house parlies, hut the gentleman wno wrove me
editorial should have qualified his atateinent to
read that it has practically always been non
union musicians and not members of the Lin
coln Musicians' association who have con
ducted themselves thus.
Had the author of the editorial done a little
investigating before making such a broad gen
eralization, he would have learned that the Lin
coln Musicians' associatum pays a certain "of
ficial to do nothing but check up on orchestras
at house parties, making sure that all union
orchestras are hiring only members in good
standing, and that their conduct while on the
job is in perfect conformity with accepted de
cency and common courtesy. ,
Any union musician found to be disorderly
fir under the influence of liquor is promptly
reported to the board of directors of the local
union, and is subjected to the proper fine or
other manner of punishment. If the offense
has been of sufficient gravity, the member is
expelled. ,
For this reason, it is very rare to find a
union orchestra conducting themselves in an
ungentleinanly manner. The offenders are
nearly always nonunion musicians, usually am
ateurs who art not responsible to any higher
up officisl for their conduct.
If thf student council were to pass a rule
that orJy union musicians could be tired for
house parties, it would not hsve to worry about
the "drunkenness and misbehavior" of or-.tiuti-a
m. -rihfrs and would eliminate an evil
which undoubtedly is partly responsible for the 1
criticism direeted at fraternities and sororities I
and their parties. M. X. '
