THE BIG STICK.
"LIANG your clothes on a hickory limb, but don't
go tirar the water."
This seems to be the attitude taken by the fac
ulty committee on student organizations and affairs
Wednesday when It completely disregard! the
Student council's motion to do away with minor
class officers, and on a technicality held that they !
should not be abullbhed.
The faculty committee, that one thorny barrier
that the council must leap before any of its pro
posals become fact, has always maintained its inter
ests were always Identical with the student body's
if thoe were worthwhile and practical.
Yesterday It fatled-falled miserably. It prac
tically samtloned minor class officers, neglecting to
oust them at the behest of the Student council which
sought their abolition. As this committee knows
and as the council and The Nebra.kan have pointed
out repeat d'y. minor rl office In therrwlve are
of no particular evil or good. They are simply use
less positions carrying no honor; mere playthings
for campus politicians.
THE Student council in urging that they be done
away w ith was motivated by the desire to main
tain traditions and offices only when they accom
plish some definite purpose. It felt ngn nu.y mat e mt &round

of unfairness in counting ballots as has always oc
curred before when representatives were not pres

candidates can reasonably be expected to be on
hand.
-THIS method of counting ballots should be abso
lutely satisfactory. While challengers cannot
ask to see everyone's Identification cards, their pres
ence and vigilance will tend to eliminate any ten
dency toward crookedness If It still remains.
The student body Is entitled to a fair election.
Measures which the Student council Is willing to put
into effect next Tuesday to secure honesty at the
polls should give the university a quartet of class
presidents and a sextet of Prom girl candidates who
will at least be honorably elected even If w hat they
are picked for amounts to practically nothing in the

three tercent to forests, according
to Mr. Kiener.
Switierland Is Dependent.
Mr. Kiener declared that altho
agriculture was the principle In
dustry in Switzerland, that grain
raised in the Helvetian state would
supply the Swiss people with bread
for about one month and a half.
Furthermore Switzerland has no
minerals, or coal, according to Mr.
Kiener. making Switzerland de
pendent upon the rest of the world
for many products.
"The secret of the Swiss people's
survival is quality," Mr. Kiener
stated He pointed out that the
Swiss were forced to import raw
products and Increase their value
thru manufacture and then export
the goods. He said that Swiss pro
ducts were famous for their qual
ity, which made It possible for
them to compete in the world mar
ket successfully with all the rest of
the earth.
Watches, textiles, especially
silks, and cheese are the chief pro
ducts of Switzerland, according to
Mr Kiener. He said that the
people imported butter from Hol
land, as they used all the miiK pro
duced in Switzerland for cheese
manufacture. Mr. Kiener declared
that it was only a reporter's story
that large herds or goats were Kepi
in Switzerland for producing milk
for cheese manufacture. He said
that goat's milk made very poor
cheese and that the Swis? people
never used it for that purpose.
Tourist Business Over Emohaslzed.
The importance of the tourist
trade is much over emphasized, ac
cording to Mr. Kiener. He declared
that tourists spent twenty-five mil
lion dollars annually in Switzer
land, which is only half the
amount spent by tourists In the
State of Colorado each year.
Mi. Kiener stated that there was
not much difference in the lives of
the industrial people of Switzer
land than in United States, but
that life in the rural districts was
much different than country life
in America. He said that some
rural communities in Switzerland

nal on the wholesome proposal of the council is dis
couraging. The committee added no word of con
demnation for the laudable position the council took
in the matter. It could at least have explained that
it would be glad to reconsider the matter if the
council saw f-.t to send class presidents alon? to the

Something is missing in the makeup of colle

was accepted. This action means that the student

Frequently in the pa.n the faculty committee

the faculty committee on student organizations.
Recently the campus has been informed of the
passage by the Student council of a bill which al
lows proportional representation on the council. Is
this not proof of the sincerity and open mindedness
of that alleged governing body? The faculty and
administration, however, will not allow this group
to have any individual powers.

French descent and speak French,
eight percent are of Italian ances
tory and retain the language of
their forefathers, while two per
cent speak a derivation of an old
Roman language. These people
inhabit the mountain valleys In
eastern Switzerland.
Fifty-eight percent of the people
are Protestants. Mr. Kiener said,
forty-one percent cling to the
Catholic faith, while the member

population. He stated that there
