Out of The Frying Pan. A W. S. hnard. throusrh one of its members, raises ft howl to high heaven in tho Morning Mail column today over the thought f a ic- clominnully male student council being "su prcme" over the women's governing orgnni zation. Thn linul hooch, is not devoid of construe tive ideas. The contributor proposes a plan for Rtudent sell government mat is lunusiucn tally in accord with the reported ideas of th; council constitution committee. While it dif I'ers in one or two points, the major ibsues an -rtimoriori thA student council will ttuaran tee equal representation on that august body 1. 1 ii'AmAn triirlftiitc It is granted by all concerned that the goal is self government. And self government, evi dently, cannot bo attained if the two orgnniza tinna nrimnrilv concerned expend all then ...loro-ina fiifhfino- each other. The student .tt,iii onnstiiiitiim foirtmit tee. which intend to draw up today the outline of the working .,,.,,o;.7ntinn it will recommend, niiurlit do well to pause before they ride rough shod over the A. V. S. plea, for atter an me xwo kui'd working together, might reasonably be ex ......f,wl in trot rPKIllllt. The one plan seemingly not incompatible with the ideas of both groups inciuues uk points: 1. Faculty check to act on student coun cil alone. 2. Student council to b supreme over student affairs in general; to be made up of an equal number of men and women itu dents. The president might be chosen by the student body at large. 3. Subordinate to the student council, the A. W. S. board and a men's council similar to it; under these two, the Panhel lenic, Barb and Interfraternity council, all supreme in their own particular fields. 4. Student council to have power to en force its rules by adequate penalties. Addition of a men's council might be ques tioned, since there are no faculty restrictions on men's conduct that the proposed group might handle. It might or might not be a necessary unit in the governmental structure. This, however, does not seem to be a major point. Equal representation on the student council seems to be a fair request, if that body is to be given any degree of supremacy at all over the subordinate groups. The other factors in the proposed plan sketched above seem rather obvious, if any workable machinery is to be put into opera tion. All in all, it presents what The Nebraskan Relieves is a practicable plan for government hy the students. Its success will depend upon whether or not the council committee can get behind it, together with the A. W. S. board, instead of precipitating a fight "within the ranks." Will the committee proceed sanely, or will it choose to leap overboard, upsetting ihe whole boat! The campus is awaiting eagerly its action. Admitted that students in general are not particularly interested in this self government racket. Admitted, also, that citizens of Chi cago are not especially concerned with setf government either. Result: A government 1 hat they think could be a bit better suited to conditions existing! Regents wsnt a building to replace U hall. How can you replace something that isn't theret Wouldn't il be fur, though, if the men really could prescribe the regulations for women' conduct T Worder what time they'd have o be in at nights? Deferred Pledging Loomn Up Once More. Nebraska's fraternities and sororities were slartled rather severely some time ago when Hie slate legislature was considering a motion to enforce deferred pledging. The resolution lost liccuiise of university opposition, on the grounds that the administration had no place to house the frerjhnien, and could handle af fairs more satisfactorily with them in or ganized houses than scattered over the city. . This year the regents are asking an appro priation for a women's dormitory, to house, 'eventually, 800 freshmen women. This means that no freshmen women will be allowed to pledge sororities, for 800 is a number tbat will include the entire group of freshmen women studeDth. Later, as money is obtained, freshmen men will likewise be provided with dormitory rooms. Then fraternities will face the same problem. Are fraternities and sororities ready for this move? Are all campus Wreck letter organizations sound financially ? It is a question that must bo fauod soon, and should be gravely consid ered now. Member of the interfraternity Mouiiiiil were indirectly warned on this point some time ago. Administrative auditing of organisation bonks may beeonie more 1han a vague prospect. It must he realised, of course, thai all such moves are intended for tho ultimate benefit of tlin organizations themselves. Kvcn deferred pledging would be advisable, under proper cir cumstances. Insofar as it would eliminate per petual flui'kor from the lodges, and weed out Ihu poor men before Instead of after they are pledged. Hut for some groups, these, ultimately bene finlul moves may come before the organuu tloim are ready to stand the gaff.

S. governing body has been functioning smoothly and quietly. It has made its own rules and en forced them, it has earned its own money and spent it for the good of the women students as a whole, it has given parties, shows and teas for the enjoyment of all university women. A. V. S. has minded its own business in that it has confined Its activities to women s affairs and kept women's affairs out of cam pus politics.' Now the student council inter feres. In the first place, just what does the student council propose to do? It is a pity that its members can't get together on what few ideas they do have. Some say that A. W. S. should be abolished. What good will that do? Will there be no government for women, or will the student council, with men holding the ma jority power, assume that power? What do men student council members know ahout women's government? Practically nothing. Now that the women students have spent much time and energy organizing and perfecting their government, perhaps the male council wishes to grab the glory of successful women's government by usurping the hard earned pow ers of A. W. S. If there arc those who doubt the success of women's self government, let them read Ihe review of A. W. S. activities found elsewhere in this issue of The Daily Nebraskan. Is there any men's organization, is there aify organiza tion that accomplishes more or does more con structive work? Some student council members say that the plan is to make A. W. S. a sub-board, under the jurisdiction of the predominantly male student council. In other words, King Student Council, dominated by men, will give orders regulating the A. W. S. board. There are in numerable faults in such a plan. A .W. S. board members refuse, to submit to any such reorganization. Now if men and women students were equally represented upon the new student council, the plan would be more practical. M student council of half men and half wome representatives would be fitted for a position of technical supremacy over the A. W. ' board, for then the women students would not be subject to unwanted re strictions imposed by men students of the council. Another point is this: There should be a men's council to balance the A. W. S. board; it would regulate affairs of men students in general much as the A. W. S. board effects its regulation of women's affairs. The ideal plan of self government, Ihen, would include these provisions : Faculty cheek on student council; student council supremo over student affairs in general. Subordinate to this council, upon which men and women students would be equally represented, would be A. W. S. and the men's council. Under these two bodies would be the Panhellenie. council, and the Barb and Interfraternity councils. If the student council will agree to this plan, which obviously is a fair and just structure for student government, then perhaps tne whole student body can work in harmony on the project of real self government on me Ne braska campus.

To TIIK KDITOK s It is with a great deal of pleasure t lint tmrnt students anticipate the reappearance of the Awgwan, Nebraska's humor sheet. Someway college just doesn't seem like college without one of these Joe College magazines. The great majority of Vliools have them and conduct Iheui very successfully, anil undoubtedly Ne braska will manage In is just as well when it again makes its formal bow. There has been a great ileal of discussion pro and eon concerning the Awgwan of the past and uf the future. Many more or less pessimistic individuals seem to think that the second attempt will follow in the footsteps of the first as fur as tl:n business venture goes. Others think that flie second Awgwan will not he improved, in iu reading pages, over the last issue. They object rather strongly to it. oil the grounds that it is bound to be indecent. That all seems ton bad. that these students cMiuot look forward to the issuing of another magazine with a spirit of helpfulness rather than disapproval. The editorial stall of the humor sheet will have to make it just what the students want or it will not be a financial success. Hut tho desire on the purl of sonic, students to sup pers the publication mid their lack of sup port I not going" to help it. If the Awgwan i again to hn published, why cannot these students who have found grounds on which to object devote their ener gies toward making the magazine one of tho best of it kind in tho United State. There Is no reason this publication cannot bo good. All it needs, and it needs that badly, is co-operation, by everyone, A. V, ing aa a definition of the penguin. "A penguin is a bird that Mies backward because he doesn't card where he's going and wants to sen where he's been." Style note: Downtown stores are endeavor ing to sell full soup and fish to all students. Idea is, evidently, as aoon as everyone is sup plied with one typo of formal wear, change styles and make some more sales. Al that, we are about as sure of the identity of "Our Sweetheart," as is usually the ease. i ,, Surprising how inarticulate and. confused studentN who rave about "the iron-clad rule of the faeu'ty" become when one asks, "Well, what do you want, exactly?"

His topic was "The Modern Movement In Architecture, and Its Perman ence." He explained that those phases of modern design whlrh have arisen from the new needs of to day will endure, but all efforts at mere novelty will perish aa they have always done. He cited the office building as a new type of building, and one requiring a new treatment. Ornament on such Immense structures would be lout, so the mass of the building be comes the mafn consideration. Mr. Davis said that certain things In architecture are good and always will be. In particular he mentioned Greek design as ex emplified by the Parthenon, Ro man grandeur, and the Gothic type. ' Frederick Graig, another Lin coln architect, also attended the Ionlque meeting and held an In formal discussion after Mr. Davis' talk. He explained the values of water colour and charcoal render ing to an architect, and expressed his approval of a five-year archi tectural course as compared with one of four years. It is interesting to note tbat the speakers of the evening made such an Impression upon tbelr audience that students in the department of architecture practically suspended work Thursday In favor of discus sions on the talks.

The timid and conservative student council has ventured forth with resolutions favoring the Awgwan. While their stand is somewhat hazy, the council does boldly state that it. be lieves the majority opinion of the students favor the Awgwan's reinstatement. So intelli gent minded individual on the campus can doubt ths. Thus fortified Siirnia Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity, goes forth to battle for its beloved but banned brain child. The fra ternity suggests that if 1,000 subscriptions sre obtained, and sufficient advertising space sold for two issues, the magazine would be on the highway to success. With these Ihings iu mind it has petitioned the publication board. it is to be hoped that the publication board will not allow itself to be swayed by popular acclaim. Awgwan has been given a fair trial on the campus and has scarcely ever been anything which could be considered a credit to the University of Nebraska. The obscene contents of the last issue brought more un favorable publicity to the school than any other episode for many years. If the magazine was errant but one time u might not deserve such a cruel fate but the publication has been banned and reinstated time and again. At its best it is nothing in- dispensible to the university and at its worst, well the least said about it the better. Sigma Delta Chi does need some project to nourish with its wit and ability. Why not let them lavish their talents on the poor, but praised, Prairio Schooner. If the publication SALLY PICKARD LISTS POWERS, WORK OF A. W.S. (Continued from Page 1.) explained. "Following this, comes the sale of Homecoming "N" stamps, the Girls' Cornhusker party, a cos tume affair for women only, and the Coed Follies all sponsored by the board. Personnel week, later in the spring, is one of the board's major activities. During this time well known speakers in women's work are brought to the campus and the university women are given an op portunity to hear talks on voca tions and discussions on vocational problems. The final activity of the year is usually the Ivy Day sing for which the A. W. S. board makes arrangements and awards." The officers of the A. W.
