The Student Council at its last meeting heard the report of the delegates to the Na tional Student Federation association conven tion -which brought out the fact that most of the 163 schools represented at the convention ' had some sort of student representation on the ; athletic hoards of control. The University of Nebraska was among the few schools which has no such representation. In fact, the Ne braska delegates to the convention had diffi culty in making the other delegates understand that no form of student representation existed on Nebraska's athletic board. The Student Council will investigate the feasibility and the possibility of having a stu dent on the athletic board. This same thing was done last spring, but after a long period of investigation and much effort on the part of the council's committee, there was still no student member on the board. Perhaps there is no need for such a member,, perhaps he could do nothing if he did sit in on the meet lings; but nevertheless most colleges and uni versities deem it advisable to have students on , their athletic boards, so there may be reasons for it. A student representative on the athletic board, if he could do nothing else, could at least be a connection link between the students and the controllers of athletics. He could carry to the board the student's wishes and de sires, and could carry back to the students an explanation of what the board is trying to do, and what their reaction is to the wishes of the students. This student representative should be a member of the student council. "What objections there can be to this plan are hard to see. The student would not be in the way, he Mould not hinder the board from carrying on their business, but he would be on hand when needed. Undoubtedly he could be used, if for nothing else, as an informant to the student body. In this school where there is supposed to be some degree of student gov ernment, there should also be a connection be tween the students and all of these extracur ricular things which concern a large percent of the student body. But going farther into the matter we learn that most of those 165 or more schools who were represented at the recent National Stu dent Federation convention had students on their athletic boards not only to sit in and lis ten, but to have a hand in the formation of the athletic1 policies of those schools. This gives the students at least a small say about the athletics which are supposed to be solely for their benefit. "We dinibt very much if a student repre sentative on the athletic board of control would actually have much to say about the athletic policy, but he would be there at any rate to express the opinions of the students. Athletics coin-en a large number of students, not only ihose who take part in the sports, but tSise who attend the panics as spectators. The a'hl.tie program is supposed to be car ried on solely for the benefit of the students, so it S'-fins almost ridiculous not to have a stu dent on the athletic hoard. Endowments Are ft Great Help. "With a shortage of funds from which stu dent loans may be driwn and a retrenchment program made necessary by a reduced univer sity budget, the endowment situation at this institution is too serious to be ignored. The George "W. Slade estate, from which funds are to be drawn for student loans next Vcmcster, forms a basis for what should be a stinging reminder to University of Nebraska .students and alumni. Mr. Slade, who had no children or near relatives who attended the university, willed his entire estate of $6,400 to .'Nebraska to be used as the regents saw fit. At the time of his death he was living in Unadilla, N. Y., and his only knowledge of this univer sity and th? work it has been doing came to him while living on a farm near Albion some years ago. ; Upon reflection it seems strange that a man with such remote contacts with .this university could recognize its needs so plainly -while alumni of the institu tion forget its circumstances so completely. Nearly all universities, the country over, de pend upon endowments from alumni and friends for their building funds, loan moneys and partial running expenses. At Nebraska the attitude of alumni, possibly through mere oversight, has been that tax money gives the university all the aid it needs. Under present plans of Chancellor Bur nett and the alumni association a University Foundation is to be organized within the next year. This foundation is to be made up of alumni who will bend their efforts toward se curing endowments which the university so greatly needs if it is to attain its deserved rank in academic standings.

In Which We Ask for Justice. In the January 14 edition of the Daily Ne braskan there appeared the announcement of the engagement of two University ot AcurasKa students. In today's issue there appears a story run as a correction m attempted miti gation of the offense of the inaccurate publi cation of the day previous. On the face of it, it would appear only that through the amateur and probable care less efforts of some reporter to secure news, the item was run apparently without verifica tion or authority. But underneath the surface of the facts therein lies a tale. The item, as it happened, was given to the reporter as recent news by a fraternity brother of the young man m the case, rear ing to trust in the absolute veracity of the statement, (having had similar experiences previously) the reporter went to another man of the same organization and asked for verifi cation which was readily given. Yesterday morning two embarrassed if not irate young women phoned the Daily Nebras kan and asked for a correction. It so hap pened, however, that the name appeared with a typographical error, and so the actual injury to the two young ladies whose name it re sembled was not so great. But. as we hear so often, it's the principle of the thing. The Daily Nebraskan potentially and ac tually serves as a laboratory for students in the school of journalism who, as such, are well cognizant of the fundamental rule of accuracy regarding the fact of every statement run in the columns of the sheet. It is to the advant age of these students, and indeed, is an un written law which every one of them does his utmost to observe, that they must have verifi cation for the things they write for publica tion. To say the least, then, it is a pill, difficult indeed to swallow, when they are blamed for publishing erroneous facts which have been given them and verified by those persons who should know. The office of the Daily Nebras kan has long been known as a gathering place for various men and women whose knowledge of campus affairs puts them in a position to give occasional news tips. It is natural, then, when a news tip such as that of yesterday is given to take the informant at his word! And then, the dawn! Coals of fire are heaped upon the heads of the innocent staff, and the misinformed only laugh! Those who are injured, and others with whom they come into contact, lose their confidence in the pres tige of the sheet, and are inclined to look upon all the matter printed within the columns in a dubious if not actually suspicious manner. Would that all students expecting to grad uate from the institution be required to take a beginning course in news reporting where they would be impressed with the value of accuracy to such a degree that upon giving out information, they would do so only when such information is accurate. Such is a journalist's prayer! Did you hear about the farmer who planted his corns and thus put one foot in the grave? MORNING MAIL A Critical Critic. TO THE EDITOR: Disgusting! Disgusting! This my opin ion of the all-American water color exhibit now on display at Morrill Hall. How can they exhibit such work and invite the students of this university to visit it? We are supposed to be here to obtain an education and develop an appreciation for the finer things in life, and we are presented with these paintings to aid in the development of our appreciation of art! Develop appreciation? Develop disgust! "Singing colors is the comment attached to a painting of a garden scene, which looks like the work of someone who painted wnn one hand while trying to juggle a ping-pong ball on the end of a toothpick in the other hand. Those singing colors remind one of the "barber shop quartet" staggering home at four o clock in the morning to the yowling tunc of "Sweet Adeline." A cat is the object of another painting in the collection. It appears to have been 1he vic tim of infantile paralysis. The comment re garding this picture informs us that the artist recently held a "one-man show at the Denver Art museum." Aft - viewing the painting one wqnld infer that, possibly, only one man at tended the "one-man show at Denver." Another painting it described as "A well rounded, carefully considered design." It might be the work of a blind man. A further comment on the same painting declares that it "can withstand analysis." It can. There is nothing to analyze. "Radiant Sunshine Filtering Through Trees" is the title of another exhibit. My first impression of this picture was "Small pox." I'm glad I was told what it was. The last painting that I shall mention here, is, to me, the "masterpiece" of the whole col lection. "Gay and amusing," "spontaneous in treatment," and "obvious skill" are all pres ent in the observation regarding this work. To be sure it is spontaneous in treatment; the painter must have had a convulsion when pro ducing it. The skill is obvious obviously that of a child in the second grade. This last state ment is no exaggeration, for the work reminds one of what children might produce in their second or third attempts at drawing. The pic ture is truly "gay and amusing" when one imagines that it is supposed to be ait. I don't mean to say, however, that there were no good paintings, real examples of art. There were about nine excellent productions, but there are thirty-nine paintings in the whole exhibit. The collection is circulated by the American Federation or Art, and on the whole it is terrible! Gutzon Borglum, in his recent lecture here, said, "America has contributed nothing to the world in the field of art!" This collec tion helps to prove it I AN AKT1ST.

Frntpmities have fallen down in their duty toward the university, men in their ranks and the na- ional organization. The duty re erred to is the observance of the ulcs and regulations set forth by th imivprsitv. Most fraternities have a national rule that demands that the chapters of that organiza- ion comply v.un me laws oi :ollege where it exists. Fiftv-seven men have been ini tiated into twenty fraternities dur ing the last year and a half with out the consent and approval of the dean"s office. Many of these men were initiated before the pres ent rule went into effect, which makes it a case of ipso facto. Fraternities are an important cog in the educational system. Vast opportunities are offered to those within the ranks. Those that do not belong to them are handi capped. If fraternities fulfilled their duty mid grasped the possi bilities for education that oppor tunity affords, fraternities would not only be justified but would be as important to the scene of edu cation as U.o college itself. To teach men how to live to gether and how to co-operate. To sponsor scholarship and character. To cultivate religious fidelity and to exemplify the teachings of Christ in the formation of a brotherhood. This and other op portunities the fraternity has. Fraternities in the violation of a university regulation have fallen down in an important phase of their work. Fraternities should cultivate adnerence to laws. They make the freshman obey their own decrees. Discipline is a part of any training. Kelt discipline is the most imponani pait of discipline. We hope that fraternities will not only continue but will make a serious effort to strive for the ideals that are inculcated in the bpiiit of the fraternity. I have been asked bo many times to reveal the whereabouts of the brown derby of the law school that I have decided that I will at last comply with this request. Go to the Stuart. A man on the stage comes out and tries to be as funny as "Gus" was in the Delt act at the Kosmet Revue. He's the man in the brown derby. If you don't think that this is the law bowler go up and ask him. If he denies it get a writ of corpus delecti and demurer. If you can't find It there go over to the Engineering college. Walk five paces east by east from the front steps, then turn north by north for five paces, to the rear march for five paces and then pivot and go west young man, go west for five paces. This brings you to where you started from. If you are a good lawyer you can figure that out.

The Clothes Line For the first nine months of last year $30,066,641 in public and pri vate charities was given in fifty six cities for relief of unfortunate families. Europe will miss its "peace maker." Veteran foreign minister of France, Aristide Briand, will retire on his farm at Cocherel in Normandy. No wonder United States has said nothing since Chancellor Bruening said Germany would be unable to meet reparations after the moratorium year.

Both Japanese and Chinese gov ernments have notified Aristide Briand, as president of the League of Nations council, that they ac cept the nominees to the inquiry commission appointed by the league to conduct an investigation in Manchuria. N. Y. Times. Senator Bingham and others who contend that 4 percent beer would aid unemployment can now determine to what extent they were right. The greatest figure ever was 86.814 employed at beer makir.r in 1914. Would be help ful to have the figures of those now botr making. Imagine a flying boat twice the size of the German Do-X.

Much as we adore these slaying sleighing parties that everyone's having, and beautiful as the campus looks with all its ugliness hidden under a blanket of snow, still, this eternal and ever lasting snow is beginning to wear on our nerves. Spring may be just around the corner, (oh, yeah!) but it has al ready arrived at the Band Box Millinery. The blizzard blew us in there the other afternoon, and what a sight for sore eyes eyes that have looked upon nothing but the blank monotony or snow for days and days! Such vibrant colors as Nassau blue, Lido red, and Jadestone green we saw in cunning close fitting hats of crys talline and charmuse, priced at $3 and $5. Just the right touch. of color to top the fur coat and what a new hat won't do for the disposition! In one of these ex clusive styles insured by the Band Box, you'll feel like a new woman. Other encouraging signs that yes, spring is coming, keep drift ing across from Paris, where the Powers That Be have put their heads together to .decide what the well dressed woman will wear this forth-coming season. Here's what they say. Waistlines are mounting higher and higher. Take a very wide sash and wrap it around your ribs, and you will have the effect. This lalsed waistline is the most im portant change in the silhouette. There will be a soften effect around the neckline of the new frocks. Bows, and still more bows, will contribute the softening touch. A loose knot of white crepe may lighten your dark dress of crinkly crepe; a tiny twist of white pique may appear at the neckline of a woolen frock. And now for tome thing new. We've had the cat's meow, t he cat's pajamas, and now make way for the cat's whisk ers, which is a long, stiff ended bow of white pique that ties at the neck. From these bows you'll have to decide which will be your best. Corduroy is given approval by Paris, which should delight those coeds who already have frocks of that fabric. The newest note will be blond corduroy, that is about the color of the trousers that the B. M. O. C. affect. Wonder if they will resent our adopting their fa vorite to our own uses?
