Art Singely. the male lead, did quite a bit of leading before the final cur tain went down; in fact, the plot hinges on him. He made ft very effective entrance and said the clever things Johnny is supposed to sav as Johnny is supposed to say them -with plenty of dash and self-assurance. Miss French Plays "Julia." Miss Augusta French in the part of Julia Seton. the young lady who is engaged to Johnny when the play starts but not when it encs. has the poise and dignity the part requires. Jere Mickel as Ned. the brother, does his small bit here and there extremely well.

It was found among other things that the report in the Thursday Daily Nebraskan of the subcommittee, after its confer ence with local political scientists, was erroneous. The sukCoiitr.iilUc'3 report to the faculty committee was not in fa vor of the plan. It failed to find any cause for sanctioning the pro ject and therefore let the commit tee as a whole decide the matter. The result was that the committee approved the amendment provi sionally reserving the right to re verse its judgement should the plan fail to meet th exigencies. Student Vote Tuesday. But now the fate of the whole thing lies in the hands of the stu dents. They are to be given an opportunity to accept or reject it at the polls in the Temple next Tuesday.

E N HAS STANDARDS ABOVE AMERICAN Brian Stanley, Graduate of Oxford University, Visits . Nebraska Campus. ENGLISH MORE SERIOUS System in U. S. Distracts From Specialization, Says Scholar. "There appears to be a lower standard of education In the Amer ican system of education, than is found in the schools of England," are the words of Brian Stanley of London, who is making a tour of the United States comparing and observing the American education al svstem. Mr. Stanley, who is just completing a tour of Clevel land. Chicago, Albany, Des Moines and Columbia, Mo., arrived in Lin coln Sunday and will be here till tonight. He will continue his tour for another month before leaving for Europe. Mr. Stanley is a graduate of Ox ford university, and is touring this country on a fellowship given by his school. On his return to Europe, he will study in Germany for five months, then teach for a short period, at which time he will become administrator of public schools in England. Speaks at Club. Last night, be spoke at the Uni versity club at a dinner given in his honor, where he gave his views and conclusions which he ha drawn from his tour thus far. "The students of English col leges are more serious of mind, and are more attentive toward their studies." is his explanation of the higher standard of education existing in England. He contin ues, "the American students are allowed a too varied selection of subjects, which tends to distract from the specialization, which the English student accomplishes in hi.-- education. The students of lugland are older and make a 'business' of going to college." Observes High School. Mr. Stanley spent yesterday aft ernoon observing the Lincoln high school and reports that it has im pressed him more favorably than any school he has visited during his stay in this country. He says the same thing exists "in the high schools of our country. "The high school students are allowed a free dom of subjects that is lacking in the English student's curriculum. The students of English high schools have already started their specialization and they are not al lowed the freedom of choosing their electives. On the whole the grades are better in Kngland and the English student is more seri ous over his school work than the American student professes to be." Mr. Staniey is enjoying his visit in the United States and hopes to promote a friendly feeling among all English speaking countries, which is the purpose of the Eng lish Speaking union, under whose auspices he is making this tour.

FACULTY COULD ADVISE; Organization Would Have Supreme Control of Activities. Editor's Note: The following story contains the suggestions for complete revision of the Stu dent council constitution, re ceived from an interested stu dent. Reccomendations of the constitution committee of the council itself will appear in a later issue of The Nebrpskan. Believing that the Student coun cil should have absolute control of student activities in the univers ity .Fred McFarland, Lincoln, a sophomoie in the college of arts and sciences, has submitted to the Daily Nebraskan a proposed re vision of the present constitution of the council. Appears Before Council. McFarland appeared before the Student council when it met in special session last week and pre sented his ideas for student activ ity control. He would place the council as the supreme power in all governmental regulations with all other organizations suhsidary to it. In his proposal. MsFarland pro cedes to enumerate by articles his plan of Student council control, which he specifies should be abso lute, but with the "help of the fac ulty advisory board." The faculty board would be a modification of the present faculty committee on student regulations. Council Lacks Power. "At present." said McFarland. "the Student council does nothing but recommend. It has few if' any definite powers. It is not a student controlling body. The council should have a series of stipulated powers and should have full au thority to exercise them." Questioned in regard to the pro posed blanket clause which was suggested bv the Student council committee on constitutions, Mc Farland stated his approval. Such a proposal would empower the faculty committee to dictate pro cedure on any question arising out side of the designated powers, he remarked, and would not make the Student council supreme in stu rent government. The faculty com mittee should lend aid and advice. he intimated. In regard to the dismissal of students from the university, Mc Farland believes that concurring action on the part of both members of the Student council and of the faculty advisory board would be most feasible. Submits Poposal. Following is the proposal sub mitted by Mr. McFarland: Article I. , Sec. 1.

' These are times that try men's souls." That is precisely what Univer sity of Nebraska men students are saying as the Nebraska Sweet heart election approaches. Women politicians are going full blast, whispering strmzing prnm ises and subtle threats into the cars of every college Joe who will li3len. "Vote!" is Warcry. "Vole for Nellie and you're the p! of dear old Pi O for life.'' "Get .he boys out at the house to vote for Suaie and well give you an hour dance," or "Pull for Mamie at the ballot box and we'll vote for your fatcion at the next election," are some of the assurances which smooth tongued coed politicians are giving out. Meanwhile Joe College plays the role of arch-hyprocrite. giving hands down promises to every proposition. (May the diety save him from the women if two of them every get together.) Hypocrites All.

U. meet was held in Lincoln in 1927 and the success of the .first games had much to do with the selection of the Capital City a second time. Lincoln's crntral location influenced the se lection. Hemy Schulte, Nebraska track coach, is attending the meet ing in New York. Waugh Receives Wire. Sam Waugh, one of the leaders of the 1927 meet, received a wire from Athletic Director Gish Mon day morning that Lincoln had been awarded the meet.
