E
Accepts Student Counci
Invitation to Big Six
Conclave.
MEET FOR DISCUSSION
Problems Encountered
Various Schools Are
Submitted.
Iwa State college Is the .first
school in the Big Six to accept the
invitation of the Nebraska Student
council to attend a conference in
Lincoln for the discussion of protv
Jems mutually encountered by stu
dent governing bodies in this
region. The conference is to be
held April 23.
The conference was suggested
by some of the members of the
student councils of the various
schools at a meeting of the na
tional federation of student gov
erning bodies which met at Toledo,
O., last December. Nebraska sent
Edwin Faulkner and Julia Sima
nek as representatives to the
meeting and tentative arrange
ments were made at that time to
hold the conference of Big Six rep
resentatives in Lincoln.
Iowa State indicated that it
would send at least two represen
tatives, and that probably a car
load of members of the Iowa
school's student governing body
would attend. Replies from the
other schools which received invi
tations are expected in the near
future.
Topics Suggested.
The Nebraska Student council
has suggested among other to
pics for discussion at tne comer
ence the question of student rep
resentation on athletic boards, the
problem of finding useful duties
for class officers, and the problem
of a practicable alignment and
recognition of campus factions,
These three questions are of par
ticular interest on the Nebraska
campus at the present time, and
it is hoped that suggestions from
other schools and discussion of
the problems may aid in their solu
tion.
The complete agenda for the
conference cannot be formulated
until replies have been received
from all the schools which will at-

Professor White, Debating Coach,
Dismisses Idea That Interest In
College Debating Has Died Down
By HOWARD HOLTZENDORFF.
Students are fed up in their classes on discussions, and
eontrary to the opinions Advanced by some of our prominent
students, interest lias not died
but intramural competition should create more interest. These
were the assertions of Professor
an interview Saturday.
"During the six years that IO
have been at Nebraska, there has
been no lack of interest on the
part of tbe student newspaper.
All administrations have given us
noble support, all that we have
claimed, and In some instances
possibly more than our merits
warranted," be declared.
"In this agitation regarding
intramural debates, certain mis
conceptions nave arisen in regard
to the program of debating at
Nebraska. . Tbe impression has
gone out that debates have de
clined In Interest and number.
Just the reverse In regard to num
ber is, of course, true. In regard
to our audiences, I wish to say
that in the last four years, we
have taken our debates to those

HARD PROBLEMS
Observer Notes Several
Difficulties in Way. of
Realignment.
BLUE SHIRTS ON TOP
Any Alteration Calls for
Sacrifice From Major
Political Group.
BY THE OBSERVER.
Realignment of campus factions,
as proposed by the Committee of
Student Spirit from tbe Innocents
society, is a problem which in
volves Immense difficulties. If the
movement is successful it will be
only because of a marked conces
sion on the part of the Blue Shirt
political party.
For two years a spirit of po
litical unrest has been stirring on
the campus. If the move to realign
tactions is successful this unrest
will be brought to an end. . Tbe
Student council ' has appointed a,
committee to investigate the mat
ter. The committee is constituted
on a fair basis and should it fail it
will undoubtedly not be because it
has not tried.
The Blue Shirt majority fratern
ity faction has been an easy victor
in every election during the past
two years. The Barbs, solely be
cause of lack of organization, have
elected no candidates while the
Yellow Jackets have succeeded in
getting perhaps one or two candi
dates elected. Last fall the Barb
and Yellow Jacket refusal to file
a slate may be, in part, attributed
to a feeling of futility. That there
is much Justif 'cation for their
claim that class offices, as now
constituted, do not mean anything
is not to be denied, however.
Blue Shirt Stand Pat.
There have been times when
Blue Shirt fraternities have been
approached by the Yellow Jackets
to the end that they "switch." In
every case these approaches have
been unsuccessful for tbe particu
lar Blue Shirt fraternities declared
they would rather stay with their
original faction, despite the fact
that their men got nominations at
lengthy intervals because of tbe
