Comes the Barb faction, protesting our uords. "The faction," say its leaders the of ficial leaders "printed those much disputed handbills, not 'persons having no direct con nection with the faction.' It was our own move, and we alone are responsible." We are glad to print this, in eorreclion of what has gone before. Thinking over the situation a bit further, we rather wish the faculty committee had not been so generous in proffering the Barbs two seats in the council, despite their election cam paign tactics, declared illegal. The faculty group backed up the Student council's ruling: i. e., the Barb candidates on the ticket were disqualified because of the distribution of handbills, ruled out by the standing regulations on student elections. A new set of candidates may now be placed in the available seats by the Barb faction, how ever, since their total vote "entitles them to representation." After all, now that the precedent has been set by the ruling, the practice may bid well to continue indefinitely. Any faction can spend oodles of money for election handbills or advertising, get its "printed" slate de clared ineligible owing to such actions, and then put in whomever it chooses to fill the seats its faction strength entitles it to hold. Blue Shirts, next year, might have a few thousand handbills, several hundred pamph lets, and a flock of circular letters printed. They might put up, on the ballot, a group of candidates they had no desire to elect. The faculty committee, acting through the Stu dent council, would then declare these candi dates disqualified, BUT would also say that the faction was entitled to two or three seats, on the basis of its voting strength.. Then the merry Blue Shirts might then run in whom ever they chose whomever they desired elected. Q. K. D. At least, that's according to latest prece dent! Sort of bad, isn't it'.' "Was it nothing more than morbid curiosity that caused A. V. S. board to collect all that information on coed smoking conditions? No action, so far! Of all the medicines, of nil the cures, of all 1 he miracles accomplished by surgical and mental capability, why in the name of heck does man still wear whiskers? Health A'oes. Exercise? Is that "hat students, hurrying to get in overdue term papers and back assign ments, need? Sleep? Is that what students, after lying awake thinking of "what to say, tomorrow," or sitting up pounding a typewriter, or pen ning a learned treatise on "cynicism," need? Parties? Is that what students, grmvn weary of scurrying here and there to find out "what to do to be sure of graduation," to pay fees, to get signed slips from Professor This and that, or Mr. Soamisn, need? Picnics1 Is that what all llie classroom weary ladies and gentlemen of the collegiate strata, worn and worried by reviewing for next week's exams, need? Joy-rides? Is that what foot-sore students, tired of pounding up and down the elegant marble stairs of University or of Nebraska hall need? Is that what the scurrying hun dreds, who raise clouds of dust behind their hurrying heels as they tear across the arid drill field to the next class, "across the campus," need? Or, as Mencken declares, is good, old-fashioned beer the curcall for the ills of the world, collegiate or otherwise? Whatever the student needs, he gets them all, in most cases. And it's a self-evident fact that all of them, together, would kill off most any superman or Amazon. Why not sleep if you're sleepy? Why not exercise if you like it? And stop when you're tired? And take in a party or a picnic if you are in the mood, rather than as a solemn obli gation to your fellows? (The fellows can al ways find others to go, you know!) And a joy-ride, or a bottle of beer if you feel that way? In brief, why in heck doesn't one adopt the sensible course? The Lid's Off! Farternity rushing at the University of Southern California should be interesting from now on out ! Having had rushing rules for the past two years, and having had them enforced, too, the Interfraternity council out there just Bp and decided that the rules "hampered rather than helped." So they were abolished. Poof! Just like that. The. bnly restriction fct'll in operation is one mres an 18-week period to elapse rhe. bnly i ieh'tequii after a pledgo is broken beiorc the candidate can be pledged to another fraternity. The effect of the removal of the rules is to permit pledging by fraternities at any time before or after men are formally enrolled in the university. In other words, it will be frankly a free-for-all, which is better, perhaps, than an under cover free-for-ull. And hero wo sit at Nebraska, putting our selves on the bHck for having evolved an ela borate set of rushing rules, together with en forcement machinery! It's a sad, sad, exis tence ! Swimming is n very healthful sport. Let's all go swimming today. And, anyway, the coed swimming contests will be held this after noon ! Students who wish to arise with the lark must avoid the midnight swallow, MORNING MAIL I Terrible! TO THE EDITOR : I wish at this time to extend my heartiest congratulations to the "Cornhusker Booster" who wrote the beautiful sentiments regarding the 1031 t'ornhusker printed in yesterday's Daily Nebraskan. He must have been one of the few who got his picture in. He "sadly chronicles" that so few of the students have their pictures in the sections assigned and be rates them for not having the school spirit to send in their pictures. Blissful innocence! In our fraternity only about half of those who hn rl their nieturcs taken were lucky enough to have them printed. Some seniors were omitted from Ihe senior section. Why are some fraternities so cramped, while others are even given room for the cook? This is very nice for the people whose pic tures appear it carries with it such a "select few'" feeling, but those who are omitted are ncevnl nnrl riphtlv so. We agree with the Ar dent Booster that the theme was very com pletely carried out and dumped in the ailey if its inclusion means the omission of stu dents' pictures. It seems to me that the titty dollars which rM1.li fmtcrnitv navs for its Daeo, 1he dollar and a half which each individual pays to have his picture included in the aforementioned inio-p n1 the four dollars and a half which each one pays to look nt said page at least merits a full representation, sucn as nas oe fore been the custom. If epnnomv is the watchword, it seems to me that the economy could have been secured with less dissatisfaction if the blurry artistic photographs of that beautiful monument 1o posterity, the steps in front ot .Nebraska nan, nr thf. K E. barn, or the tiresome repetitions of Professor Blotto 's picture, had been cur tailed instead of the students photographs. feel otherwise, but I prefer the pictures of my classmates and friends to sketches of the three musketeers, artistic though they may be. There arc no great mistakes in the legends, as the Booster savs. Of course one of our pledges is included on the "active" list of an other fraternitv. and four names are misspelled on our page alone, and several of the legends in the Senior section are in front ot the wrong pictures, but these will happen in any book. The wholesale omission of pictures, however, is inexcusable. I would like to place my order now for the supplement containing all the omitted items, which common courtesy will obligate the editor to print. The Cornhusker should be called a semi-annual. It's only half there. DISGUSTED. College Comment The Deans Say! "If the girl graduating this June has a fam ily that can possibly support her for a while longer, or a kind aunt to help her, or a little money in the bank, then she should n5t try to get a position in times like these," declares Dean Gildersleevc of Barnard College for Wo men. Instead of attempting to compete for jobs that are none too numerous, the graduate should get technical or professional training that will enable her in the long run to do high grade work, the dean says. She is especialy opposed to the entrance of wealthy college graduates into such activities as ordinary of fice work. "A few years ago," she says, "a silly cus tom grew up among girls of the rich set, of studying stenography and taking posts as clerks in offices, even though they had no spe cial taste for the jobs. At the present moment this would be even more foolish for such afflu ent workers." A college girl in dire straits, she declares, should take up any honest work she can "in order to keep off the breadline. No kind of honest work, well done, will ever disgrace anyone," she avers, "even though it be dishwashing and the girl's ambition is to sing in grand opera." Optimistic economics experts might better confine their activities into hypnotizing col lege deans into believing that there is no such thing as hard times at present and that the whole business is just a frame of mind. Col lege deans have never been so gloomy as they seem to be this year. Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn, chairman of the Experimental College of the University of Wisconsin and former president of Amherst, declares that if the young men who are grad uated this June emerge "intellectually life less" they may better have "spent the years in dicing ditches than in going to college." Says he to the college graduate: "What have you been doing with your mind? Is that mind an eager, living, ventur ing energy going forth on its own initiative! Or have you come to deal with your mind as a sort of bucket to be filled by the inert results of other men's thinking?" Pity this year's June graduates. They are being made to realize their terrible insigni ficance in the general scheme of affairs. Does no one have an encouraging word foe, college graduates this year? Daily Texan. ? , FAULKNER NAMED STUDENT COUNCIL HEAD YESTERDAY (Continued .Tom Page l.i Uon with the national studnet or ganization. Kally't Message. Kelly's statement In part: 'Framing and ratifying a new student council constitution ha taken a great deal of uor time this year. This constitution, I am cer tain, Is a great Improvement over the document under which the council formerly operated In that Is gives the council such powers as It Is capable of assuming. It is not, however, a fool-proof docu ment. The success of the council under It will depend on the Intelli gence and Judgment exercised by the members of the council is us ing the powers given them. "Securing a new constitution has not prevented the council, during the past year, from carrying on various activities. One of the first problems that came up in the fall of the year was the matter of handling rallies. The council dele gated the power to conduct rallies to the Innocents society after an organization presented a carefully outlined plan. That does not sig nify, however, that the council has permanently given tip its preroga tive on supervising rallies and J suggest that the council next year maintain It rigid supervision by requiring that whatever organiza tion is permitted to sponsor them should first present its plan in de tail to the council for approval. I further suggest than any request by any organization for dismissal of classes for rallies should be first approved by the Student council. Urges Eligibility Fight. Kelly continued discussing the ungranted request for power over eligibilities asked by the Student council. He recommended that the council continue to press this re quest. He also mentioned the com pulsory drill fight and the hear ing before the board of regents. Concerning the results of the drill fight Kelly said, "the committee members feel that something has been accomplished In the way of creating favorable public senti ment." Kelly mentioned the difficulty had with enforrlng the rule against subscription parties and recommended that the council do all it can in preventing ex ploitation of the students. He men tioned the work of the Student council athletic committee headed by Walter Huber. "The advisability of affiliations with some national organization was discussed to some length dur ing the year, but no action was taken. The largest organization of student governing bodies is the National Student Federation of America and I strongly urge that the council next year affiliate with It," he continued. As a final recommendation Kel ly approved changing the meeting time of the council to 4 o'clock to permit longer sessions and more detailed consideration of matter brought before the council. Faulk ner also recommended that the meeting time be changed and will try to pick a more suitable time.
