Statement Regarding
Thursday Vote.
"No election" was the verdict
given out by the ag executive
board and the faculty election com
mittee at the college of agricul
ture Saturday regarding the annual
spring election supposedly held
Thursday.
Coming out from behind closed
doors, the two bodies gave out no
official statement regarding the
actual facts of the election but em
phasized the fact that a new elec
tion will be held Thursday.
Not only will the students vote
for ag club officers as they did
last Thursday but they will also
cast their ballots for an entire new
election slate. Four officers to the
club, members of the fair board,
fair manager, sludenl'comeTI rep"
resentatives from the college, coll-agri-fun
committee members and
woman and man at large for posi

the turmoil which followed the
counting of the ballots in the
Thursday election. Protests began
to arise before the evening was yet
gone and came to a head Friday
evening when the ag executive
board and the faculty election com

Important.
The .student activities tax plan,

and constructive measures intro
duced .by that body in many years,
is the opinion of Professor E. F.
Schramm, chairman of the depart
ment of geology at the university.
"Introduced primarily to benefit
the many students who are now
unable to participate and receive
the ben.'fits of the many student
activities, I fffl that the propo.sU
lion is one worth the serious con
sideration of every student on the
campus," denaied Professor
Schramm.
Pointing to several of the items
included in tin- plan Professor

Organization, Releases
Names Saturday.
Twenty men have been pledged

to Pershing Rifles, honorary basic

and the organization of the army.
Balloting on the men was Satur
day morning.
The new pledges are to report
to Nebraska Hall at 5 o'clock on
Tuesday May 16.
the student union building fund
was of utmost importance. He
added that this single item would
tend to concentrate interest of the
students more than anything else.
"With those students who are
financially unable to meet the tax,
granted a hearing before a com
mittee of faculty members, the
plan as it stands presents no seri
ous obstacles to its adoption by
the students and Board of Re
gents." said Schramm.
In his op it:' on the tax would en
able t:.e miblications of the cam
pus 10 put a better quality of
work, and at the same time enjoy
a campus-wide circulation, a thing
which none of them hold at the
nresent time.
There is a certain amount of
Hchool spirit among the student
body at Nebiaska, and with the
adoption of the tax, everyone
would have a direct interest ami
revitalize every Individual into a
higher degree of active participa
tion." stated Schramm.
The tax list as it stands now,
added Professor Schramm, is not
too high for the average student
to afford. In addition he declared
thut the tax might also be extend
ed to Include faculty members.

Usual Cusiom Establishes
Principle That President
Must Be Holdover.
Newly elected student council
members will meet for the first
time Wednesday afternoon at 5
o'clock to elect officers and lay
plans for next year's work. Retir
ing members of the Council will
meet with the new council to
jomplete a few items of business
before the new officers of the

Some speculation has arisen on
the campus as to wether the vic
tory which the Blueshirls v .m at
the polls will in any way influence
the selection of ofiicers for .he
new council. A custom never yet
broken has established the prin
ciple that the new council' presi
dent shall be selected from the
holdover members of the council.
The two men holdovers on the
council are representatives of the
two factions and politics may en
ter into which oi these two shall
be president. Two women holdover
members may also be in the run
ning for the presidency altho there
has not in many years been a
woman president of the council.
The committee which has been
working on the activity tax plan
will seek permission from the
new council to continue its work
until the end of the school yea:-.
The committee will be in chate
