N i ESENTATION ON EQUAL BASIS Student Council Recognizes Protest; Amends New Constitution. KEEPS ELIGIBILITY RULE Legislative Body Retains Right of Determining Qualifications. Making provisions for granting women equal representation with men, members of the student coun cil yesterday afternoon passed an amendment to their new constitu tion providing for the election of eight Junior women Instead of four. It waa also voted that the particular phase of the powers clause which relates to the coun cil's control of eligibility should be left Intact, despite the suggestion of the tub faculty committee that It M omitted. In connection with the Wednes day council meeting a report from Robert Klnkead, chairman of the Junior-senior prom committee, was heard and a discu ion of decorat- ing and orchestration expenses waa heard. A motion by Alan W il liam to the effect that the prom committee be limited to $350 in se curing an orchestra was lost for want of a second. Special arrange ments were made, however, to hava Williams act with the com mittee in securing an orchestra. Faulkner Gives Report. The report from Edwin Faulk ner, chairman of the constitution committee occupied the major por tion of the session. Faulkner an nounced that the sub committee of the faculty committee on stu dent affairs had considered the constitution and had returned it with a few suggestions for revision before presentation to the univer sity senate. First it was suggested that rep resentation on the council be changed to allow women a larger representation as: Section 1: The student council shall be composed of the following representatives: a. Eight junior men one from each of the following colleges: a g x i e ulture, engineering, law, pharmacy, dental, business admin istration and two junior men from teachers colleges of arts and sci ences. b. Eight junior women, three from teachers college, two from the school of fine arts, two from arts and sciences, and one from the college of agriculture. c. One man or woman from the graduate college. These representatives shall be voted on by the members of their own college or school at the regu lar Student Council election. Added to Constitution. The new section was added to the new constitutional document after considerable discussion. Wil liam McCleery objected on the grounds that it was a rather "broad move" to initiate, especial ly in view of the sentiment which advocated larger men's represen tation because more men are registered at the university. Fred Grau's declaration that such a move would add a new feature to the campus political situation which would possibly strengthen the council's position was also questioned by McCleery. Removes Women Protest. The acceptance of this particu lar amendment, according to Es ther Gaylord, senior councilwoman, would remove all opposition to the new constitution which was being raised by women on the campus. The amendment was passed. As the next suggestion, Chair man Faulkner stated that the sub-committee recommended that the clause wherein the Student council reserves the right to set eligibility requirements to be stricken out. This was opposed, by McCleery, and Orau's motion to the affect that the eligibility clause be removed was lost. Two other minor changes In the wording of the bill passed unan imously. Students of Colorado university are insured against being called upon to recite. This certainly puts a premium on either modesty or laziness. Blue Shirt Platform 1. Blue Shirt faction favors immediate action looking on the erection of a student union building on Nebraska's campus, and pledges Itself and its mem bers to support such action to an extent at least equal to the support pledged by any other group. . 2. The Blue Shirt faction fav ors immediate action on the proposed Student council con stitution with equal representa tion for men and women, or some similar document which would materially increase spe cial election at the earliest pos sible date to vote on such a constitution. 3. The Blue Shirt faction, if victorious, will see that each class officer will this year, and In succeeding years, erect on the campus something of a per manent material nature; and advocates that at least three meetings looking to the ad vancement of - class spirit be held by each of the four classes 4. The Blue Shirt faction favors the lowering of admis sion prices of major university parties, to be brought about by reducing expenditures for or ohestras and decorations. GRANTED WOMEN AG COLLEGEJQ BE HOST Some 31 4-H Club Leaders Prize Trip Winners, to Meet Here. , 4-H club leaders totaling thiity one will be the guests of the col lege of agriculture during club week this spring as a reward for their unusual work during the past year.

SATURDAY IS FINAL DAY Sales on the Cornhusker year book have picked up during the past two days, according to Busi ness Manager Edmonds. The fi nal sales campaign which is being handled by both the Tassel's soci ety and business staff of the an nual, has taken on a new impetus since students are beinning to re alize that their last chance to get a Cornhusker is nearly over, says Edmonds. A booth is being maintained in Social Sciences hall for sales pur poses, and staff members have been placed at different points on the campus in order to facilitate 1931 Cornhusker sales. "It is evident, however," Ed monds explained, "that many want Cornhuskers but are unable to get in touch with a salesman. In that case It is necessary only to report at the Cornhusker office in person or mail $5 to the business man ager and a book will be reserved." Sales on the yearbook will close Saturday, Feb. 14. and the print ing order for the total number of books to be received in the spring will be placed Monday morning. Payments for those who bought the yearbook on the installment plan should be completed immedi ately or an order will not be placed for those students, and their money will be forfeited. Organizations are instructed to make contracts and arrangements for group pictures at the campus studio immediately. EIGHT TRUE US IN U. S. SAYS BUTLER Declares New Institutions Deserve Name; Gives Definition. (Symrum Dally Orang'.l The United States has several hundred universities, but only about eight are deserving of the name and only about eight more have a .university aspect and standard in any part of their ac tivities, stated Dr. Nicholas Mur ray Butler, president of Columbia university, in an address recently. "It Is difficult as time goes on to come to any straight thinking on higher education and the college and university. As a result of the haphazard and almost vulgar ap plication of the title "University" or "College," the classification is without distinction," Dr. Butler continued. In defining a university Dr. But ler said that the true university is not a collection of colleges or a group of students, or a group of professional schools. Jt is rather an Inst itution of higher learning where scholars of high competence guide students prepared by highei education into advanced studies with the aid of libraries, labora tories and seminars and such aids in the dissemination of knowledge The primary object of the Amer ican college is to provide a liberal education that gives subjects of vo cational value the broadest treat ment and Interpretation. Dr. Butler declared, and, subjected to tne pressure of vocational interests. the diverse curricula now in force in American colleges indicates that nothing had been found as yet to replace the old prescribed courses. Disagreement with Dr. Butler's evaluation of American universi ties was widely expressed among educators, most of whom claimed that this country has at least thirty universities worthy of the name. Attention was called to the I laci mill neany ininy uiuvrinuiva had been admitted to the Associa tion of American Universities, whore standards for admission are particularly high. K. U. SCHEDULES THREE MATCHES FOR RIFLE TEAM LA WHENCE, Kas Telegraphic matches are being held by both men's and women's rifle teams at the University of Kansas with the University of California and with Keene Normal, Keene, N. H. Two teams of men, and two of women, four to the team, with two alter nates for each group, are to be chosen for the tournament to be at Kemper Military academy, Booncville, Mo., Feb. 2L ELECTION 0 0 ARE OVERHANGING CAMPUS ACTIVITY Dopesters Predict Slump in Political Efforts of Both Factions. BARB VOTE IN QUESTION i Yellow Jackets Have Slate Complete; Blue Shirts Maintain Silence. BY THE OBSERVER. With four intervening days re- j malmng before students go to the polls to elect second semester class leaders, an Ivy Day orator, and prom girl nominees next Tuesday, the campus air will be thick with political verbiage and activity. All filings for these positions are due at the Student Activities office be fore Friday evening so faction and sorority candidates are undoubted ly already selected. The campaign for the coming election will undoubtedly be limited in extent Both the Yellow-jackets and Blue Shirts will hold their main steam in reserve for the Stu dent council election of next spring, but there will still be plenty of activity during the next few days. The barbs have declared their decision to remain out of the race, thus throwing a new kink in the possible outcome. Should this group give the Yellowjackets even a half-hearted support it could easily make a vast difference in the outcome of certain offices. Yellowjackets Make Slate The Yellowjacket faction has al ready selected its candidates for the respective offices. The Blue Shirts, however, as rumor will have it, will meet this evening to decide on the men they will place in the field. According to the logic of events, one member of their fac tion, the candidate for senior presi dent, is virtually decided on. If predictions run true to form the Yellowjackets will have much to do before they remove this man at the ballot box. If the weather, at its present (Continued on Page 3.) Fi World Brotherhood' Topic Of Missionary for Noon Luncheon. NEW SYSTEM IS URGED Dr. Paul Harrison, medical mis sionary to Arabia, spoke Wednes day noon at the World Forum luncheon in the Annex cafe. Doctor Harrison, who was Intro duced by Dr. Hattle Plum Wil liams, used as his theme, "World Brotherhood." Doctor Harrison, although advocating- world brotherhood, sug gested that the cultured nations of the world should use different tactics in their attitude toward the more backward countries. In stead of trying to impress our culture upon these countries, we should help them work out their own problems, he said. In other words we should make a study of their ideals and civilization, and help them develop along their own lines, Doctor Harrison declared. It is believed by Doctor Harri son that the developed countries like the United States and Great Britain try to impress their own superiority upon the primitive states, instead of taking into con sideration that, due to the differ ence in economic, religious, and political structures of the coun tries, this will do more harm than good. Illustrates by Stories. This Doctor Harrison illustrated by the story of two cities, one of which waa ruled by the tribal rulers and working people had fair protection of life and property, the otner under British control, did not help the working people but rather aided the wealthy classes, who did not need the aid. "We should reconstruct their whole system," said Doctor Har rison, "but we should do it along their lines and not ours." Nearly 130 people attended the meeting, and although 1t was ex cused In time for the students to go to thel 1 o'clock classes nearly one-half of the number stayed to question Doctor Harrison about the life and problems of Arabia.

The inevitable trend in education is toward the rapid shrinking of the traditional educational wall be tween vocational and cultural de partments,. lsthe. , conclusiop as reached by the Educational conier ence ' onducted at Rollins college In Florida, according to a newspa per report. They claim that the liberal arts college will survive and render service in proportion as it recognizes this fact and brings its course of study into eiiecuve con formity with it. It was the opinion of the confer ence that in appraisals of achieve ment the best grading method is that farthest removed from the percentage method. The use of let ter or group grades, division of the class into thirds or quarters, a de scriptive analysis of the students' progress, or combinations of those methods, were proposed. The purpose of the liberal arts college, according to the reports, is to discover the values and signifi cance of life, individually and so cially, through the extension and application of knowledge; tne ae veloping, disciplining and harmon izing of interests; appreciation and attitudes; and the inspiring of stu dents and faculty to consecrate their unique personalities to the common good. Among the other proposals as stated and discussed in the report are that there should be less em phasis on the acquisition of more facts and more upon thinking and application of knowledge; the pres ent rigid departmentalization be condemned as the greatest block to efficient administration; and mat methods of individual guidance through advisors, and faculty com mittees should be extended. The report stressed the import ance of emphasis on breadth in the first part of the college students career while in the latter part there should be more emphasis on specialization. It also urged that more emphasis be placed on the development of the individual rather than on a sort of machine production that characterizes the present university systems.

I Tops Board Requisite. According to the "way back wheners," a sale of a thousand copies was extraordinary during the Awgwan's former existence on the campus. When Sigma Delta Chi applied for the publication's reinstatement, Inst December, a circulation of 800 was set by the publications board as requisite to making the magazine self-supporting. Yesterday's sale surpassed all expectations of the staff, Backus stated. Made up almost entirely of orig inal material, the February issue contains five humor articles, a good deal of much shorter ma terial, and an unusual amount of art work.
