CONSTITUTION
Status of Other Ruling
Bodies Is to Be
' Decided.
Adoption or rejection of the pro
posed new constitution for the stu
dent council as the first step
toward student government ia the
big item of business before the
student council when it meets to
morrow afternoon. The draft of
the constitution will be completed
at the meeting of the constitution
committee, headed by Edwin
Faulkner, this afternoon.
Indications point against the
adoption of the document in its
final form in tomorrow's meeting.
However, the general outline of
the new plan with its principle
provisions will 'be made then. The
three big problems in drawing up
the document will be settled at the
meeting also. Subsequent work
will consist of. wording the docu
ment and final acceptance of the
draft by the council.
Seek Power.
A Student council with ruling
power rather than powers of
recommendation is the end toward
which the council is working.
Faulkner says, "The conception
which the committee is attempting
to put across is a student council
of consequence in student affairs.
It would form the connecting link
between the faculty on the one
t hand and the student body on the
ofher. . The council at the present
time has no powers. We would
." give it some definite authority."
The steps takeu by the council
toward adoption of a new constitu
tion were begun last year during
the second semester. The question
of the powers of the body arose
diiectlj out of the wrangle over
the abolition of minor class of
ficers. Early in the second se
mester last year the student coun
cil took action and abolished minor
class officers. The recommenda
tion went to the faculty commit
tee on student organizations which
tabled the matter.
Origin of Wrangle.
In the meantime the minor class
. officers in three of the classes
were elected. The council then
passed another law abolishing the
offices. From this situation arose
the wrangle over the powers of
the council which is to be settled
at the council's meeting tomorrow.
There have been several obsta
cles in the path of the council, chief
of which has been the opposi tion
of the various other student ruling
bodies, mainly the Interfratemity
council and the A. W. S. board.
Champions of both bodies have

DECORATIONS FOR
FORMAL 10 TAKE
FORM OF CASTLE
Floor for Military Ball to Be
Covered With Canopy,
Flood Lighted.
PLAN COMMAND POSTS
Majors Will Occupy Corners
As Hosts: Lounges to
Be Provided.
Attempting a new theme of dec
oration for the coliseum, the twenty-second
annual Military ball, Fri
day; Dec. 5. will be given in a me
dieval castle, according to Capt. R.
G. Lehman, in charge of decora
tions. Entirely covered by a canopy
upon which will be emblazoned
military and university colors, the
floor will be illuminated by flood
lights. Greenery will cover the
walls to further envelop the floor
and hold the echo of the music.
Command Posts.
An original idea for Nebraska
Military balls was conceived by the
battalion commanders, Alan Wil
liams, Burton Bridges and R. Stan
ley Da j. In the four corners of
the dance floor will be erected
command posts which are an inte
gral part of every battle.
Each major and his sponsor will
be joint hosts during the evening
at each one of these posts with the
four company commanders and
their sponsors in attendance. The
fourth command post will be occu
pied by the "fourth battalion," con
sisting of the headquarters com
pany, Pershing Rifles and tne
band. Punch will be served from
each command post, chairs and
louneres will be provided and a
maid will be in attendance.
Special Arrangements for Band
Special arrangements are being
made for George E. Lee and his
orchestra to enable them to carry
out the theme of the medieval
times. ,
Plans for the presentation cf the
honorary colonel are being kept
secret, according to Lehman, for
the reason of providing surprises
for those attending the ball. It
was hinted by him, however, that
this presentation will be made in
direct coherence with the general
theme of decoration.
Several plans of decoration were
studied before deciding on the me
dieval, according to Lehman,
which was adopted because of its
unusualness and the opportunities
it lends for magnificent decora
tion.

Carl Hahn, president of the club.
The spring musical comedy is
one of the main activities of kos
met Klub on the university cam
pus. Until last year, the show was
regularly taken on the road and
produced in various Nebraska
towns. The show is usually an all
male production, although the
1929 edition broke precedent with
a mixed cast. Authors should keep
in view, however, that the show
may be given by an all male cast
and should write their manu
scripts accordingly.
The main idea, according to
Hahn, is that the show be an en
tirely university affair written
and staged by students at
Nebraska.

IS RECOGNIZED
Chancellor Is Honored at
Chicago Dinner Where
Portrait Unveiled.
SPEAKER LAUDS CAREER
Gramlich Tells Nebraskan's
Experiments in Animal
Husbandry.
Chancellor K. A. Burnett- was
honored Saturday evening in Chi
cago when his poi trait was un
veiled t;r the gallery of tha Sau
dle and Sirloin club at the annual
banquet of 'he American Society
of Animal Production. The chan
cellor was recognized for his su
perior work in the field of animal
husbandry.
H. J. Gramlich. past president
of the club, made the address in
presenting the portrait. Gramlich
traced the chancellor's career from
th time he came to the University
of Nebraska thirty years ago a
head of the department of animal
husbandry at the state agricultur
al college through his rise from
the rank of professor to director
of the experiment station, dean of
the college of agriculture and last
ly to chancellor of the university.
Praises Work.
Mr. Gramlich praised Chancel
lor Burnett's work in the exper
imental field, and declared that
his work in developing the.
strength of bones in hogs was still
looked upon as a masterpiece. He
also stated that Burnett was the
first experimenter in the feeding
of wheat to cattle for fattening
purposes. Gramlich recalled that
the steer. Challenger, which won
the championship at the Interna
tional Livestock exhibition several
years ago, was fitted and exhibited
during Chancellor Burnett's
regime at the agricultural college.
Chancellor's Reply.
Chancellor Burnett In reply
stated that agricultural colleges
are contributing more to . fitting'
youth for life work than any other
class of schools. The chancellor
spoke extemporaneously and re
called that iorty years ago there
were no agricultural colleges in
Nebraska and told how the devel
opment of such schools aided in
the development of Nebraska.
James W. Riley, president of
the association, greeted the chan
cellor in behalf of the organiza
tion. Dean Coffey, of the Univer

Subject Dec. 11, V
India's troubles and her people
as seen by the Irish poet and edu
cator. Dr. James H. Cousins, who
has spent thirteen years in school
work in India, will be discussed in
his address on "I iberation in Edu
cation" at the University of Ne
braska convocation Dec. 11 in the
Temple theater.
Dr. Cousins lived in India. be
tween 1915 and 1928, served as
professor of English and principal
in the University of Madras,
founded and directed for six years
the Brahamavidya Ashrama at
Madras. This Ashrama was a
school for the synthetical study of
world-culture and included stu
dents and lecturers from all parts
of the earth.
A gradt te lecturer in St.
Mahatma Gandhi's school at
Ahmedabad as well as at numer
ous other Indian universities is a
rank which Dr. Cousins still holds.
His close tt.,.ociation with the
Gandhi school has given him an In

which he will discuss briefly.
Dr. Cousins' primary interest is
in poetry. He has written twenty
volumes, most of which deal with
his native country of Ireland.
Duerr declared, "has shown con
sistent improvement over its pre
rollment of 200.000 show, that the
fraternity men'? average is some
what more thPJi one percent high
er than the average of all men un
dergraduates, and almost two per
cent higher than the average of
non-fraternity rnen."
"It ia generally conceded," Mr.
Duerr continued, "that the con
tacts fostered by fraternities,
both socially and In extra-curricular
activities, have constituted an
invaluable asset to college life. But
whether or not this asset has been
purchased at the price of scholar
ship has long been a moot ques
tion. That question is no longer
moot. The increasing size of
American colleges, with the eoau
ing breakdown in personal con
tact between individual students
and the faculty has opened the
way for the college fraternitl to
supply the inspiration and person
al guidance which was a priceles.
