to do, there seems to be a little discrepancy in this
propositi that would bear further explanation.
The third division ol the reform measures pend
ing on the council calendar has to do with the
Coin Cobs, Notoriously halt-nearted as the organiza
tion unquestionably has been toi a long time, Ihe
poor pep.'ters have from time immemorial come In
for a goodly share of criticism. There have been
spurts when sincere attempts to revivify the Cofc.
have met with some success, and certainly it would
be an occasion tor rejoicing if the Student council
could insure great efficiency in the male pep club.
Charity would urge the hope that by calling tor
a new constitution the council Is headed in the
direction ot actually revolutionizing the club, i'i
Knsilon Pi, alter all, might really mean "pep."

A Stir of
Action.
A CTION began to stir in the Student council as
members in thsir meeting Wednesday saw the
institution of three proposals. The inaugurations
center around strengthening the activities structuit
and include plans designed to:
1. Alter the duties of the junior class piesideni
in connection with the Junior-Senior From com
mittee. 2. Revise the basis for council membership.
3. Stiffen the responsibility of the men's pep
group, Corn Cobs, by requiring submission of a
new constitution for approval.
All three of these plnns have been merely pro
posed, and no action will be taken immediately, it
has been indicated. But all three will constitute
part of the council's work for the year, and a'l
three might become major issues in campus activi
ties. Opinion of the proposals will be sought before
the next meeting, and at that time the council may
rak first actual steps toward instituting or reject
ing the new policies.
Perhaps the most important of the changes
sought is the revision that would put council mem
Oership on a new basis. It has long been agreed
that the present arrangement leaves much to he
desired in the way of securing council representa
tives that are alert, Interested, and informed in the
matters on which they are supposed to legislate.
The question to be decided is whether the arrange
ments proposed would guarantee more effectively
;he selection of desirable representatives.
Briefly the two systems of council reorganiza
tion call for membership on the basis of propor
tional representation from the whole student body,
,ir representation from organizations and activities
:hemselveii. Framers of the plan have made it plain
hat no political considerations whatever entered
nto their deliberations.
A S fcr the gesture involving the junior class pres
ident's duties in connection with his work on
ihe prom committee, the council president has as
sured the Nebraskan that the move has for its
object greater Prom committee efficiency, looking
toward a decrease in political jockeying on the com
mittee. Inasmuch as the original purpose of making
tlie Junior class president ex officio chairman of
the committee was to provide him with something
HPS briefly summarized, the three decisions
lacing the students governing body might very
well be classed as major issues. The council docs
nred reorganization, as does the Corn Cob structinc,
and Prom committee affairs would certainly be none
the worse tor an airing.
F.ach proposal deserves consideration in greater
detail before the council meets again, and that at
tention will be given. For the present we point to
tin- very meouraging signs ot activity as indicati -e,
perhaps, of a real stirring of interest within the
governing body. Maybe none of the proposals mic
significant, but the balance of opinion is on the
oilier side, and in any case - the decisions must te
made and there will be council action.
. I Hoard is
( om mended.
A STF.P toward organization of barb girls, rie-
signed to create greater opportunity and in
terest in activities among the unaffiliated women,
has beer, announced by the A. W. S. board. As in
dicated in the still tentative plans, an A. W. S.
committee will serve to align groups ot twenty-five
gitls under the direction of the committee women
delected by the board itself.
Although the purpose of the new effort is no
more clearly outlined than as an effort to guar
antee equality of opportunity tor harb girls in ac
tivities, the groups will probably "sponsor partici
pation in activities much as sororities do." The en
deavor, in short, is directed toward a goal that Is
high and shining.
Objection to the step the A. W. S. board has
taken might very well be raised by the persons dis
posed to venture Into line details (and such critics
are ordinarily rather plentiful) but in the light of a
first attempt toward a worthy goal the new or
ganization is deserving of praise. The structure ol
the organization may not be the best, but that will
appear only after the endeavor passes the experi
mental stage.
There is, however, one consideration A. W. S.
organizers should keep in mind, and that is the
history of all attempts to organize barb students.
In the pwt it has been discovered that with no
permanent feature to insure the individual group
interest carrying over from year to year, it is ex
tremely difficult to obtain any very satisfactory
kind of barb organization. As the Interclub council
has found, the major problem confronting attempts
to unify unaffiliated students is simply that the per
sonnel of the artificial groups is constantly shifting.
Or that has been the cae, at any rate, in or
ganization gestures based on barb "house-units."
Based as the A. VV. S. plan is on personal relations
between directing committee-women and their
friends the problem may assume new aspects. The
ideal solution, too, may ultimately prove to have
been reached when, and if, all barb girls are
grouped under a thorough dormitory system.
For the present, however, the A. W. S. board is
to be congratulated. Barb girls are not organized
yet, but there Is every indication that they will be,
in some way or another, before long.

scheduled for the evening.
There have been two previous
mixers on the campus this year,
8'id already the old question is be
ll g circulated around. After the
fi st mixers many freshmen were
h ard to ask: "Why call It a
mixer? It isn't any more of a
n:ixer' than any dance I have ever
attended. Why not call it just a

put into operation now is the ad
ministration's big Corn and Hog
Plan.
Much has been talked about the
new corn and heg venture, but lit
tle is actually known. William
Loeffcl, director of the Rooters
Day program, has secured two men
who will explain to Nebraska
farmers the details of the plan, all
its in's and out's, it's up's and
down's, its pro's and con's.
One is Gerald Thorne. an offi
cial of the agricultural adjustment
administration who has been sent
directly here from Washington to
explain the administration's point
of view in regard to the big ven
ture. Thoren will speak officially
for the government representa
tives who drafted the plan.
Hildtbrand Will Speak.
The other speaker who will deal
with corn and hog plan is D. M.
Hildtbrand. Seward, member of
the committee of twenty-five that
met first in Des Moines and later
in Chicago to consider the corn and
hog problem and lay the founda
tions for some sort of action. It is
understood that Hildtbrand is not
in complete sympathy with the ad
ministration's plan and that he has
declared himself strongly opposed
to some of the provisions.
The consequence of the speak
ers chosen for the meeting today
should r therefor, a thnro discus

view of the administration at
Washington, and from the point of
view ot a man fr-m the con and

of the plan and of all its pro's and
con's.
Many an Ag student will In a
year or so be raising corn and
hogs. The measures adopted now
to reduce and control production
are very likely to still be influenc
inir the industry when today's stu
dents nre among tomorrow's farm
ers. It would be wise, it seems, for
every ag man to attend the meet
ing tomorrow and learn as much
as he can about what is going to
happen.
NO BREAD LINE YET
Not one student who graduated
in agricultural journalism at ag
college is today in the army of job

jobs, to be sure, but they do have

another in the editorial department

In Wisconsin one graduate Is

Still another is with a Kansas oil

TO THE EDITOR:
New comes a well known east
ern sport writer asking what has
become of the college editor who
every year at this time raises his
voice against football overem
phasis and commercialism.
I shall not attempt to repeat the
sound argument advanced two
years ago by the Nebiaskan's
"boy editor" iso styled by a local
sport writer 1 but I shall deny the
eastern writer's charge that the
college editor is so unremoved
from football that he doesn't know
what the score is. Those of us who
have criticized overemphasis and
commercialism realize the part
football has played in increasing
college enrollments. It had a 1' t to
do with my decision to attend Ne
braska and I am no football player
nor desirous of being one.
But the fact that foci ball in
creases enrollments neither ex
cuses or disproves overemphasis.
Sports writers the nation over
have always remained faithful to
the game when these charges are
made and have tried to misdirect
attention by calling these critics
reformers. It really was, and still
is a silly argument in their behalf.
Nebraska football has no more
devout follower than this writer.
At the same time, it is evident
that so much time is spent with
football that scholastic activities
seem secondary. When you have to
say that these college editors as
pire to fame, are desirous of pub
licity, and seek to become martyrs
for what they believe is a just
cause, it is certain you haven't
any argument. That's what the
sport writers did. It has been the
fashion to append to these editors
the distasteful name of reformers.
And so this eastern writer, re
joicing at the passing of these
unnatural beings is chuckling to
himself and having a good laugh.
And still overemphasis Is unex
plained. If one dares to question
the existing order he Is called re
former! J. H. B.

When little sister dashes home
from school and asks papa for a
nickel to buy a cake of soap, papa
ask., "Who says so?" And little
sister replies, "Teacher says so.
And as teacher's word Is law in
most homes, little sister gets the
nickel while mother grumbles that
it's an insult. The child is clean,
or at least as clean as the Schultz
children. ,
Papa in this case is merely ear
rvinc out number one of Dr. Kim
ball Young's four tests for propa
ganda which were given to a re
cent convocation audience. Other
questions which papa might ask
arc- "Why is teacher asking you
to do it?" "What does she say?
and "What will be the effect of
buving this bar of soap?"
By such quest ionlnr; papa can
find out that teacher wants the
students to bring soap to class to
carve into cows, cats, rabbits and
wampuses. The purpose evidently
is to encourage pure, if not clean,
art, and only a floating 99.44 per
cent pure white variety of soap
will satisfy the arty teacher. Papa
knows that he is out a nickel, and
mama knows that a squatting cat.
carved in soap, will wash no shirts.
But seldom does mama or pnpa
UKe the trouble to find out that
some soap manufacturer is at the
bottom of sister's artistic urge.
And that is just where Dr.
Young's tests of propaganda fall
short. He does rot tell how mama
and papa can get the facts on the
thousand and one backdoor at
tempts by which the propagandists
assault both purse nnd intelligence.
The soap business is quite easy to
trace to its source, but more diffi
cult is the detection of some of the
more subtle forms. How is the lay
man to know that a ceitain volume
published by the Smithsonian In
stitute was fostered by a group in
terested in the private ownership
of public utilities?
So far there is no public journal
to which a person can turn to get
the low-down on propaganda. The
coarse but lively Ballyhoo tried to
fill a niche bv driving advertising
into saner channels. Peihaps there
is room in this country for a jour
nal that will give intelligent
answers to Dr. Young's questions.
Perhaps newspapers could be in
duced to state the mIllifllfletos",fi;tCS

Relief for
Crads.
In a recent issue ot me
York Times, there appeared an ar
ticle staling .hat one of the na
tion's most serious economic prob
lems at the present time is that ot
its unemployed college graduates.
In 19.13 alone, 1,500,UUO graduates
turned out by American colleges
and universities, of which only I.)
percent have so far succeeded m
obtaining jobs. According to Col.
II Edmund Bullis, executive
iicei of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene, those forf.i
t.ate K p. ieent have received then
positions through relatives and
friends, who, through insuperaole
and essential "pull," have secured
the few indispensable cases of em
ployment. Colonel Bullis recently decried
the attitude of the govcrnme-it
toward these unfoi tunate grauu
ates, who, because they have never
been employed or have never
".shouldered'' any responsibility,
are officially excluded Irom the
ranks of tlie "unemployed. ' So
far. not one single effort has been
made to remedy this dangerous fi
liation. The government has con
sistently denied to college gradu
ates the right to enter the Civilian
Conservation Corps except in an
extremely limited number ot cases
where they have been ".smuggled''
in under the disguise of forest: v
experts. Because of these adverse
conditions among our graduates,
many Instances have resulted in
serious menial ilisntdeis.
Since the country has allowed
itself to come to the place whe.-e,
in older for one to be employed or
to retain employment, he must
have this "necessary pull," many
of our employers disregard the
merits of the prospective employe

Surely the socalled "New Deal"
cannot be considered a complete
success until at least some attempt
has been made to foster the em
pioyment of these unfortunate
Graduates. It seems as though :e
