this committee published the fol

for the remedy of the situation.
The men appointed to the com
mittee were Art Wolf, chairman,
Ed Faulkner and Bill McGaffin.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE
, ON STUDENT SPIRIT:
Committee: ARTHUR WOLF,
EDWIN FAULKNER
BILL M'GAFFIN.
1. The main difficulty brought
out In the meeting seemd to be
the unbalanced political align
ment. This situation Is deep
seated and nothing can be done
about It without first Investigat
ing it seriously. For this pur
pose the committee recommends
a committee of ten to carry on
this Investigation. This commit
tee to be composed of three
members of the Innocents so
ciety, two members of the Stu
dent council, the three faction
presidents, and two faculty
members, namely, Mr. Lantz
and Mr. Schramm.
2. Women are not represented
In the activities which men dom
inate. This was one of the causes
advanced for lack of interest.
The committee feels that the ac
tivities now dominated by men
are those which belong rightly to
the men. It is true, too, that
women are limited by the A. W.
S. board's point system as to the
number of activities In wftlch
they may participate. Women
dominate a number of activities
on the campus, activities which
are theirs to dominate. Men's
organizations cannot be expected
to allow women to gain control.
3. Freshmen as a group do
not know anything about activi
ties and have no means of find
ing out. They are Ignorant of the
fact that they are wanted in ac
tivities and are not acquainted
with the procedure of how to get
into then. Therefore, the com
mittee recommends a pamphlet
containing all the Information of
all of the activities on the cam
pus to be distributed to each en
tering freshman. This pamphlet
will assist In acquainting him
with every activity so that he
may be Inspired to indulge In ac
tive participation. To go along
with this an all-activities convo
cation for the freshmen should
be called conducted by the
Mortar Boards and Innocents
and allowing speakers from the
major activities on the campus
to acquaint the freshmen with
the activity picture as a whole.
Barbs' Own Problem.
4. The Barb-Fraternity fight
will probably always exist until
Barbs become organized. As it
stands at the present time the
Barb organization is not func
tioning and It Is impossible to
negotiate with that group except
In small factions. There Is no
chance to sound out Barb senti
ment as a whole because of this
disorganization and as a conse
quence their wishes ara often ig
nored, not because they are
Barbs but because they cannct
be contacted. The probable solu
tion Is organization and feeling
that this is the Barbs' own prob
lem, the committee has no rec
ommendation to make.
5. A lack of workers on stu
dent publications was noted.
This seems to be slowly righting
itself and under the system of
realignment as suggested the
whole situation will probably
work itself out.
6. The fact that too few were
In activities and that the burden
of the major activities rested on
the shoulders of the same few,
was also advanced as a cause
for lack of interest. The commit
tee was not able to cope with
this problem but suggest a per
manent activities committee in
tie Innocents Society to promote
activities and get more and more
people Interested. The code plan
as used by the women was not
deemed feasible at the present
time.
7. This point could be worked
out under the above suggestions.
THE INNOCENTS SOCIETY.
OF
COLLAPSE
Speaker Tells Economics
Group of Weaknesses
In Nebraska.
Lack of adequate state super
vision over Nebraska's state banks
before 1929 was forwarded by
Earl C. Hald, graduate student of
business administration, in his talk
before the Economic Round Table
Tuesday evening, as the funda
mental cause of the collapse of
state banking several years ago.
Banks, although strictly examined
and held to account, were allowed
too much freedom on vital fea
tures, Mr. Hald pointed out.
"In an audit of failed Nebraska
state banks 81 percent of the as
sets were in loans and discounts,"
the speaker declared. Real estate
was allowed to accumulate In ex
cess of statutory limits and Invest
ment securities were found to be
only m percent of total assets.
"This low percentage of invest
ments of solid form contributed to
weaken the banks' foundations,"
he pointed out
"Outstanding unsound practices
of the state banks prior to the
wholesale failures,' " stated Mr.
Hald, "were, 1. Too low capital
was required (about ten to fifteen
thousand dollars), 2. Banks were
started to back certain pursuits,
3. Banks made excess loans, above
legal limit of 20 percent of cap
ital and surplus, 4. Some state
banks paid too large dividends, 5.
Bankers who were real estate
agents unloaded real estate on
banks, 6. Bankers made all their
loans in own communities, and 7.
Made 'character loans,' which are
undesirable."
Proposes Remedies.
Remedies of the situation ad
vanced by Mr. Hald were: 1. Re
quiring the state department's as
sent to all dividends, 2. Preventing
over-banking, 3. Stricter regula
tion. "Bank failures cannot on the
whole be attributed to economic
conditions," concluded Mr. Hald,
"although they may be caused in
part by the movement of trade to
cities. If we bring about a general
revised change of our concept of
what banking really is, we shall
have solved the problem."

Economic Round Table group.

answered, and twenty-one of these
report that students at the respec
tive institutions have some vote or
control in the formation of athletic
policies. Replies from the remain
intr schools are expected soon.
"The investigation so far has
shown very clearly that a a gen
eral rule, students do have some
voice in the regulation of athletic
matters," Wolf stated. "We feel
that, after all, athletic affairs are
primarily students' affairs, and
they should have something to say
about them."
Report Adopted.
At the last meeting of the stu
dent council, the athletic relations
committee submitted a report out
lining the plan of student repre
sentation. The report, containing
seven points of importance agreed
upon by the committee after inves
tigation, was adopted by the coun
cil.
The seven points are:
1 The students of the Univer
sity of Nebraska, thru their elec
tive representatives, the Student
council, request two student mem'
rbers on the University Athletic
Board of Control.
2 These two shall be: a junior
man and a senior man, the junior
to be selected each year by the
Student Council and to hold over
for two years, becoming the senior
member during the second year of
his term.
3 Both members shall not be
members of the same political fac
tion.
4. Student members of the ath
letic board of control shall not be
members of the Student Council,
but shall be directly responsible to
that bodv.
5 f he student members shall
have full membership on the Ath
letic Board of Control with a full
vote.
6 They shall be subject to the
usual eligibility rules or the Stu
dent Council constitution.
7 The junior member shall be
elected at the last meeting of the
Student Council eacn year.
Referendum Approves.
At the spring elections, held
about a month ago, the student
body in a referendum vote in'
dicated by an overwhelming ma
jority that they were in favor of
student representation on me ata
letic board of control. This fact
will be included in the petition to
the board of regents.
The plan of student represent
tion is based on the systems used
at other schools surveyed, and the
committee has endeavored to take
the best points from each system.
It is believed that a working plan
which will actually fit local condi
tions has been worked out.
For several years the Student
Council has considered the ques
tion of securing student represen
tation on the athletic board ot con
trol, but previous efforts met with
defeat or died out Agitation on
the question was aroused last year,
but notning dennite was done.
Bill Devereaux, co-chairman of
the Junior Senior Prom committee,
made the official report of the
prom to the council. He stated
that a rough estimate of expenses
would be $319.00. It is expected
that a donation of at least $250
will be made for drouth relief.

"THOUGH fathers and mothers of
College of Agriculture students
are unable to get their swine to
market due to tne Dad roads, tney
are at least happy that the hog
market has advanced steadily dur
ing the past few days. Poor
weather conditions have made it
impossible for the regular supply
of hogs to reach the market and
as a result the packers have paid
a higher price for the animals.
If hogs were to advance to o
cents within the next few weeks,
there would be many happy Ag
students. Many of them have hogs
of their own back on the farm
while others are hoping that
things will improve for the folks
back home.
pARMERS in the drouth stricken
area of northeastern Nebraska
evidently are going to receive some
more aid from the xederai govern
ment, if press dispatches from
Washington are correct. Congress
recently autnorized the release of
5,000,000 bushels of the farm board
wheat for distribution to the needy
and it is expected that several
thousand bushels or tne wheat win
find its way to Nebraska.
It is expected that the drouth
counties will receive the large
share of the wheat shipped into
Nebraska. Much of the grain will
be used for human consumption
while somo will be used for live
stock feed. Experiments conducted
at the Nebraska Agricultural col
lege in recent months have proven
that wheat is a good feed for all
forms of livestock when fed in con
junction with other feeds.
A FTER attending a farm oper
ator's short course at the Col
lege of Agriculture for several
months, seventy or more Nebraska
farm boys will return to the farm
next week when the course is com

have been at the college they have
studied the practical side of farm
management. H. K. Douthit is
director of short courses at the
college.

when they realize that bulls

one of its kind in Nebraska.

Drouth Area Gets Names of
Places Where Grain

Two hundred thousand bushels
of seed grains are now listed for
farmers of the drouth area in
northern Nebraska thru the efforts
of the Agricultural college exten
sion service at Lincoln. Lists of
those who have seed for sale have
been forwarded to elevators and to
committees in charge ot feed and
of crop production loans in the
drouth territory.
One list is that of the Nebraska
Crop Growers association, a group
of Nebraska farmers who produce
certified seed from stock originat--inRr
at the Nebraska extension sta
tion of the university.- The other
list is that made up during the
past two week with the help of
newspapers, radio stations, county
agents, and others who helped the
extension service get names of
those who had seed for sale.
In sendlne the two lists to

and D. L. Gross, crops men of the
extension service, had told the
prospective purchasers of seed in
that area that the certified seed of
