Does This Opportunity
Appeal to You?
AS further proof that the Stu
dent council is not attempting
in any fashion to "put over" the
activity tax, the council approved
plans Wednesday, for holding the
student poll on the proposal at the
time of registration for next year.
In this manner, the council feels,
every student will have the ques
tion forcibly brought to his atten
tion and the opinion of every stu
dent will be secured.
Registration begins a week from
Monday. During the intervening
period the various points in favor
of the activity tax will be
stressed. When a student has
completed his registration and
takes his schedule to his dean's of
fice, he will be given a ballot and
asked to vote "yes" or "no" on the
proposal of the adoption of the ac
tivity tax plan at Nebraska. Sen
ior students and underclassmen
who fail to register will be given
the opportunity to express their
opinions at the regular spring elec
tion to be held May 9.
QO far as the plan as now defi-
nitely proposed is concerned,
the question to be decided by
every student is: "Do I want to
pay $4 each semester in return
for privileges which would other
wise cost $13.50 and would have
to be paid nearly all at the same
time?"
There is only one answer to that
question from the point of view
of the student who would buy
these privileges or several of them
nyway. That answer is yes. If
he would buy all of the items in
cluded under the tax, namely the
athletic ticket, the Cornhusker,
the Daily Nebraskan, and the
Awgwan, he is saving about $6. If
he would buy only an athletic
ticket, he is, under the tax plan,
paying about the same amount of
money, and in addition securing
several other privileges as well.
TJUT the question will appear In
different light to the individ
ual who never has taken advan
tage of any of these opportunities
before. Whereas previously his
expenses were nothing for these
privileges, it is now proposed that
he should pay $4 per semester. His
first reaction, no doubt will be:
"Nothing doing."
It is to this individual that the
Nebraskan wishes to address its
remarks at this time briefly.
Would you not like to have the op
portunity to bring yourself in
closer contact with university stu
dents and their life outside the
classroom when this opportunity
will be available to everyone at a
considerably reduced cost? Do you
not actually feel that in some re
spects ypu are missing a part of
the value of university life, when
you do not take advantage of the
facilities offered on this campus
for your amusement, and your in
THE
terestthings not essentially a
part of classroom and library
work ?
THE Nebraskan would be the
first to oppose a compulsory
system of forcing students into
something for which they cared
not a whit. But the Nebraskan is
behind the compulsory activity tax
because we believe that most stu
dents would, like to take advan
tage of these opportunities if they
can be secured at lower cost. We
believe that the vast majority of
students will be inclined to answer
the question just propounded in
the affirmative.
In the next issue of the Nebras
kan we will discuss the compul
sory feature of the tax and show
that this feature is not obnoxious,
but merely the mechanism which
makes possible offering these priv
ileges to you at low cost. Today,
the Nebraskan would like merely
to emphasize the fact that a sub
stantial cost reduction is provided
by the activity tax. Since this is
true the Nebraskan merely re
quests you students who have not
formerly been interested or finan
cially able to take advantage of
the opportunities offered under the
activity tax, to decide whether you
would not like to be able to secure
these pi ivileges at a reduced price.
We believe you would, and it is
primarily on that basis that the
activity tax plan is submitted for
your consideration.
The Closed Mght
Matter .Voir Settled.
UNDER the provisions recently
written into its by-laws, the
Student council approved the re
port of one of its committees
Wednesday and determined cer
tain dates for next year which
should be given the status of
"closed nights." Three of these
events, namely the Interfraternity
ball, Military ball, and Junior-
Senior prom, have traditionally
been held on closed nights. The
Innocents Homecoming party and
a Barb council All University par
ty were, however, also afforded
the protection of a closed night.
Notice will be sent to all organ
izations on the campus of this ac
tion of the council, so that there
need be no conflicts in parties
scheduled for those dates. This is
the first actual test of the coun
cil's effectiveness in co-ordinating
such student activities. The en
forcement of the closed nights will
be the task of next year's council.
Now that the matter has appar
ently been settled and the action
taken, it will be up to the council
to see that the enforcement is
rigid, and that future action of the
same nature be consistent and well
considered. The council certainly
should have the authority to reg
ulate such matters of student in
terest. Its careful handling of this
matter should set the precedent
for future wise control of other
student activities which need bet
ter regulation.
These Organizations
Are Really Worthwhile.
a N excellent illustration of the
part professional organiza
tions may play on a university
campus was afforded by two
events scheduled for Thursday
night. One was the smoker for all
journalism men, sponsored by Sig
ma Delta Chi, men's professional
journalism fraternity, and the oth
er was Ad-Nite, under the direc
tion of Gamma Alpha Chi, wom
en's professional advertising sor
ority. Both organizations are building,
on a foundation of mutual interest,
a structure of departmental and
professional unity whose impor
tance is felt even beyond the con
fines of campus walls. Integra
tion of professional interests
among students is the first plant
ing of seeds which will develop
into codes of professional ethics
so badly needed in every field.
The purpose of these organiza
tions can conscientiously be ap
proved in contrast to those of an
organization such as discussed in
DAILY NEBRASKAN
these columns yesterday. The Ne
braskan demands of no organiza
tion that it be constantly perform
ing, but it does feel that it should
have some real basis of common
interest to justify its existence.
STUDENTS TO VOTE
ON ACTIVITIES TAX
(Continued from Page 1.)
man, soDhomore and junior stu
dents, on the other hand, will be
reached by holding the referendum
in connection with registration.
Then, with the seniors voting at
the spring election, nealy the whole
student body will express its
opinion on the plan."
"The council wants to reach the
largest number of students possi
ble in investigating the student at
titude on the proposed tax plan."
Howard Allaway, chairman of the
committee, explained.
"The council is the students' leg
islative body. It doesn't want to
cram this tax plan down the stu
dents' throats against their wish.
If the students don't want the tax
plan, neither does the student
council. If they do want it, the
student council will do all in its
power to secure its adoption at Ne
braska." he declared.
The plan, in its present form,
would assess each student en
iv,Horf nn nrtivities fee of four dol
lars a semester. The total of eight
riniinro a vpht would be distributed
to support all-student activities as
.ti. A . rnHi
follows: Atnieuc iickci, un";
Vohrmknii. eiuhtv cents: Corn
husker yearbook. $2.67; Awgwan,
fifty cents; ana biuuem cuuuu
fund, three cents.
Thio fnp would be rjaid at the
same time the regular registration
fees for the university are paid
each semester. Exemptions would
be granted for financial reasons
only and only after a hearing be
fore a faculty committee.
The plan, the committee explain
ed Thursday in announcing the
rrfprpdnm. is not in final form as
yet, and there is some possibility
of a slight reduction in the fee on
one or time items. The final total
will probably be something be
tween $7.50 and $8.

la&t night. The program was pre
dominately musical in character.
Jungbluth and his orchestra
played as the theme song of the
broadcast "A Night for Love" and
an overture, consisting of parts of
the tunes in the show and espe
cially arranged by a member of
the orchestra. Members of the
cast, including Duncan Sowles and

plot and charactera in the show,
and Jack Thompson, production
manager, gave a brief talk on the
history, aims, and record of Kos-

REMOVAL OF GOLD STAN
DARD WILL NOT AFFECT
THE ORDINARY CITIZEN,
SAYS ARNDT.
(Continued from Page 1.)
that the country would return to
the gold standard in the near fu
ture, Professor Arndt stated that
he thought the government would
eventually, but possibly at a lower
ratio, than is now existing.
The country has been placed in a
disadvantageous position and more
so in the past few months, and as
a result of being on the gold
standard has suffered a continual
drain upon its holdings in foreign
countries, Mr. Arndt stated.
"As far as the every day life of
the average individual is con
cerned the removal of the gold
standard will have no noticeable
effect Prices may rise, but the
causes may be attributed to many
other sources," said Mr. Arndt.

Woman 'Sherlock Holmes' To Appear
In Kosmet Klub's
Part of Pearl Clarke Will
Be Taken by Bernard
Jennings.
A female "Sherlock Holmes"
who solves mysteries with her
camera, not to mention annoying
vacationers by requesting numer
ous snapshots such is Pearl
Clarke, one of the feminine charac
ter leads in "The Bar-Nothing
Ranch," Kosmet Klub's spring
show scheduled for production
next week.
The part of Pearl Clarke will be
taken by Bernard Jennings, Chi
Phi from Lincoln, whom many will
remember as the outstanding
comedy member of the Pony
chorus in last year's Kosmet show,
"Jingle Belles." Jennings Is a
member of the University Players
and has been featured in many of
its productions.
The part of Pearl Clarke fur
nishes a great amount of the hu
morous element of the show. She
spends most of her time on the
Bar-Nothing Ranch with a cameia
in one hand and a spare roll of
films in the other. She finally vin
dicates herself, however, by solv
ing one of the puzzling mysteries
ot the show.

a gallery of famous engineers, l ne
Blueprint staff for next year will
be announced at the banquet. The
Clark E. Mickey award of a set of
handbooks will be presented to the
student having the greatest in
crease in his grades.
The Sledge, an annual engineer
ing publication' containing slams
about engineering students and
members of the faculty of engi
neering college which is published
during Engineers Week will be re
leased at the banquet.
According to George Swatek, the
engineering students are following
a four-point plan for the week. The
plan includes, first, the reunion
banquet; second, stressing of prac
ticality in displays made in the
open house; third, full co-operation
of the engineering students; and
fourth, extensive publicity program
