Our Ineffective
Student Council.
Last semester the editor of the Daily Nebras
kan launched a campaign for reorganization of the
Student Council, declaring that the student govern
ing body was worthless and non-representative of
campus sentiment (whatever that is). He pointed
out the fact that the council hadn't done anything
constructive during the year. Meetings of campus
organization heads were held in which discussion of
possible reorganization plans was featured. "It was
finally decided that council organization as it ex
ists at present is good in most respects and is quite
representative of student opinion.
This year's Student Council, having started the
year boasting that it would surpass all past per
formances in the way of progressive campus legis
lation, has become well aware that any one who
seeks to change existing conditions must be ex
ceedingly patient and diligent
It Is a well-known fact that the 1934-1935 Stu
dent Council has done nothing in the way of con
structive work this semester. Such propositions as
the Cooperative Bookstore plan have been discussed,
but no final results have been checked up on the
credit side of the ledger.
Why has the Student Council failed to do what
It aimed to accomplish at the first of the year ?
In the first place a majority of the members
of the council is quite uninterested in anything that
smacks of action. The council is actually comprised
of about four or five people who are really inter
ested in doing something constructive. There are
also some members of the governing body who are
chronic opposers. Naturally political opponents
would clash, but It seems quite unnecessary that
they refuse to cooperate on broad, social issues that
concern the university as a whole and are in no
way linked to Progrssive-Green Toga politics.
Members of the Student Council represent no
distinct classes of student opinion, in fact the stu
dent body as a whole can't become too excited about
such things as who shall be members of the Junior
Senior prom committee. Because members repre
sent no distinct sets of opinions, the Nebraska Stu
dent Council is about as non-political as it can pos
sibly be. If members were chosen from extra
curricular activity groups such as each of the pub
lications, Kosmet Klub, Interfraternity council, In
terclub council, A. W. S. board, and the Y. W. C. A.,
the Student Council would reek with politics, and
because of political conflict would never get any
thing done.
It seems that our Student Council is quite in
evitably ineffective as an originator of constructive
plans for university improvement
Concerning each campus problem there is al
ways a small group of students which is very inter
ested. For example, there are groups primarily and
deeply concerned about the Student Union building,
the library, duties of the senior and junior class
presidents, Varsity parties, university publicity, and
the Cooperative bookstore plan.
In our idealistic campus way we attempt to
keep hands off and in so doing believe that the
campus will remain untainted by politics. We re
gard initiation of all constructive developments as
strictly Student Council business, and work under
the idea that a student is stepping out of his rights
if he tries to manipulate affairs without consent of
the council.
As affairs are run in the outside world groups
interested in any certain sort of legislation take up
the reins themselves, plan the campaign for draw
ing up and presenting their plan, and then submit
that plan in complete form. If things were run in
that way on this campus the Student Council would
be merely a rubber-stamp organization.
Student leaders, knowing well that the Student
Council is quite useless as originator of bright ideas,
should take their own pet ideas in hand, gataher
others who are interested into a group, formulate
plans for action, and then submit the finished
product to the council for approval or disapproval.
One problem that has been rather quietly dis
cussed this fall is the secondhand bookstore situa
tion on this campus. Many students are interested
in establishment of a Cooperative bookstore, but
the only group that has any sort of organization
working in behalf of the plan is th Y. W. C, A.,
which is evincing interest because it fears that if
it isn't interested the Swap Book Shop will die.
Is there any reason why interested students organ
ize, and supplement their talking with a bit of ac
tion? It seems that the lobbying system described
above would be quite effective in nudging the Stu
dent Council out of its lethargy, and making of it
an effective, active organization.
Must the
Men Slosh?
A standard and stereotyped subject on which
college girls write themes for English is that of
courtesy, and as a general rule they rake their
male fellow-students over the coals for their ap
parent and frequent breaches of etiquette.
Several years ago students on the campus suc
ceeded in kicking up quite a fuss in regard to fel
lows not opening doors for their scholarly sisters.
The girls seemed to have had their dander aroused
to quite a pitch and were demanding more service.
Because college men were on the spot as a
result of their alleged lack of courtesy in compari
son to that exhibited by girls, members of Innocents
society decided to try a test. On registration day
they opened the back door of the coliseum for each
and every feminine registrant. Only 39 out of the
several hundred said "Thank you."
It has been quite noticeable of late that femi
nine threesomes monopolize sidewalks, forcing mere
men to walk in the mud and heaps of snow. Is it
out of the way and discourteous to suggest that our
cultured college girls stoop to requirements of their
culture, and leave a few Inches of the walk for
masculine use? Or are they being subsidized by
shoe-polishing establishments ?
Lethargy and
Innovation.
Student groups that exist for the puipose of
studying and discussing current events are not as
active as they were last year, altho the newly
organized Social Problems club promises to stimu
late student thought to some degree.
Last year the International Relations club was
very active, held monthly meetings at which topics
of international importance were debated and dis
cussed, and sent a half dozen delegates to the Mis
sissippi Valley International Relations clubs' con
vention at Grinnell college in Iowa. There has come
a change during this school session, however, and
the International Relations club is quite lamentably
inactive, in fact only one meeting has been held.
Officers were elected at that gathering, and it ap
pears that those people are quite content with
loafing.
Student Forum luncheons have also been notice
ably scarce and infrequent, altho last season numer
ous luncheons of this sort were held, with promi
nent speakers appearing at each of them. Can't
something be done in the way of reviving these
affairs.
Convocations held so far this fall have been
very successful, the Temple building being jammed
each time, and most of the students enjoying the
speeches by Mr. Sokolsky, Mr. Norton, and Mr. Fay
very much. In regard to convocations, many stu
dents are objecting because instructors refuse to
dismiss claases for the events. At many schools
provision is made at registration time by the regis
trar by scheduling no classes at the hour assigned
for convocations.

Michigan Consider
Rushing Rules.
The interfraternity council on
Wednesday night came out of its
temporary lethargy, existent since
its last meeting seven weeks ago,
and passed five significant changes
and additions to the present runn
ing raj lea.
Acting upon experiences of the
last rushing season when alumni
of fraternities broke practically
every rule set down by the council
as regards rushing simply because
there were no rules to prohibit
them from doing so, the council
voted in favor of subjecting alumni
to the same rules as undergradu
ate fraternity men. The merits of
this rule need not be argued.
Another rule addition states that
"No unethical mention of another
fraternity by name or implication
shall be permitted during the rush
ing period."
This rule, on the surface, seems
unenforceable and therefore mean
ingless. However, it serves a def
inite purpose in that it sets up a
definite standard for the council
by whicL they act in cases where
there are flagrant examples of
"mud-slinging."
It was the unethical abuse of
oiie fiaUiiiity by another that
more than anything else put a black
eye on the late rushing scison. A
number of flagrant examples were
brought before the council with
definite proof, but no action could
be taken because there was do rule
prohibiting it.
Last rushing period of a fifty
cent fee was assessed all entering
students desiring to be rushed to
a fraternity. This ni instituted in
order that a good system of name
flics could be established for the
use of fraternities during the pe
riod. Another purpose of the fee
was to give the council a source of
revenue, thereby reducing the
membership fee in the council for
fraternities.
Xbe plan succeeded well in both
of its purposes. More names of
rushees were filed for the conven
ience of the fraternities than in
any other year. The yearly mem
bership dues of fraternities to the
council has been reduced from
J7.50 to 3.50.
The only defect in the plan as
it stood was the rushees registered
too late. That has been rectified in
one of the new provisions by mak
ing the fee progressive. After the
first Saturday noon of rushing the
fee will be raised from fifty cents
to $1.
It is not only the passing of the
rules that is commendable of the
Interfraternity council but to an
even greater extent the stron?
spirit of co-operation between all
of the houses in unanimously ap
proving them.
All legislation in regard to the
control of rushing tends to favor
the weaker and smaller houses, be
cause under the old "hot box"
method of rushing the more preten
tious houses had definite advan
tages in membership and financial
backing. Despite this, all of the
rules were passed without a dissen
ting cry from any of the larger
houses. The Michigan Daily.

Maryland Diamondback.
What Would
You Do? .
He graduated from one of the
best preparatory schools in the
country after five years of study.
On his admission to Pennsylvania
the following remarks appeared
upon his admission record, "Keen
mind, lazy, jumpy, lack of concen
tration. I.Q. 128." Previous to ma
triculating at the university, he
had enjoyed a cloistered existence.
Yet he was at no time tied down,
was allowed to do what he pleased,
enjoyed life immensely.
At the completion of his fresh
man year, his record showed a
passing mark in all of his courses.
He had made an excellent frater
nity, had not opened, as silly as it
sounds, one single text book since
the beginning of the second semes
ter. He had made several worth
while competitions, had run him
self into debt for about $30.
Completion of his sophomore
year found him $60 in debt, two
courses flunked, possessor of only
one school book, a cynic. He was
still having a fine time. His out
side activities carried him into
devious social and unsocial fields,
he was still carrying one worth
while activity, had no particular
interest in life save a good time,
friends, plenty of morning sleep.
He wished he could stay in college
for the rest of his life.
He hasn't finished his junior
year yet, but he is beginning to
wonder. Perhaps "that beginning
to wonder" is what higher educa
tion has taught him. He is begin
ning to realize that he is one of the
vast number of fortunate under
graduates who does not and never
has, belonged in college. He is not
a cynic now; rather a little bit
afraid of what is ahead. He still
hasn't the courage to buckle down
and try to get something out of
his remaining year and one-half.
There Is no question but what he
will graduate graduate in the
same fashion, the same manner in
which he has tackled his past un
dergraduate career. Still he under
stands that it is really too late to
attempt to salvage anything from
his college existence. He is very
definitely in a rut a rut that he
can't get out of.
Yet his luck still holds. He has
the chance to leave college and
start the makings of a business
career. He has an opportunity to
start the inevitable early perhaps
before it is too late. And still, we
know what he is going to do that
I.Q. of 128 stare him in the face

of sacrificing to the slowly dis
appearing sun. Tneir aitar iires

Christmas. Aioaern unrisimas can
dles were lit at their blaze.
The American custom of illumi
nating shrubs in the garden with
electric lights has, however, more
recent lineage. It may have been
copied from Sweden, where it is an
old custom to leave lights in the
windows of the houses on Christ
mas day. Or probably it sprang
from the old practice in the Roman
empire of decorating buildings with
evergreens at the new year.
"Yule Log" Pagan Custom.
The yule log, so long associated
with the celebration of Christmas,
originally was dedicated to the sun
as the light of the world. The early
Christian teachers found the burn
ing of the yule as a pagan custom
in Britain. Instead of forbidding
it, the church transformed it into
a sanctioned rite, the log being
kindled in honor of the birth day
of the Light of the World. The
songs too, that were sung to the
sun were altered to carols in praise
of Christ.
Today people have a vague feel
ing that somehow the coming of
Santa Claus is connected with the
birth of the Bethlehem infant,
which is, after all, the accredited
occasion for the festival. Any such
relation is extremely far fetched.
One writer says that the two were
brought together in the early
Christian church at this time of
the year to avoid an annual busi
ness slump. But the more popular
tale is that of St. Nicholas, the
Christmas Eve gift giver of Ger
many. He has other names in other
countries, in fact Kriss Kringle is
the expression employed in Ger
many today in preference to St.
Nick. The "monicker," Santa
Claus, is thought to have originat
ed in America before it was im
ported into England and there pop
ularized. "Stocking Hanging" Accident.
There is an absurd legend con
cerning the hanging of stockings
at the health on Christmas Eve.
It seems that St. Nick on one of
his mystic midnight excursions
climbed on a roof and dropped a
purse. Instead of . falling where it
was intended to, on the hearth, it
alighted in a stocking that had
been hung up to dry, and stocking
hanging was on its way.
The mistletoe myth is another
idea harking from the pagans, that
accompanies the yuletide. Accord
ing to the Daily Illini, it causes a
lot of talk but no action in present
young people's circles. Probably
the earliest legend concerned with
the mysterious power of the mis
tletoe is that it was the only thing
in nature that could harm the god
Balder when an enemy deity want
ed to kill him. This evertrreen par
asite is further hallowed in Celtic
ritual by being called the all-heal-pr

agined relation between the love of
the sexes and the spirit of fertility
in the sacred bow. Or it may be a
vestige of the license often pei-mit-tcd
at folk festivals. A pail often
forgotten is that the young man
plucks a berry off the bough each
time he kisses the victim, and
when, or if, the berries are all gone

The custom of sending Christ

W. E. Dotoon in 1844. He drew a

season, to show him that absent

mas. Apples are the characteristic
Christmas fruit. They were also
thought to keep the gods and god

Christmas bells can also be traced
to the good times of the ancients.

nant attitudes."
"These problems are hurling a
challenge to youth and are a battle
for the provision of an enriched
life for all of our people. They are
not pessimistic issues; they are
approaching and various changes
may come about in five, ten, fifty
or in a hundred years. Their ap
proach does not necessarily indi
cate warfare or violence, but that
the changes will be brought about
in a dispassionate and intelligent
manner."
Machine Age Discutted.
In discussing his various strate
gic points where the forces will
prevail, the speaker spoke of the
machine age, asking what will be
its outcome? Industry, he said, is
not working at full speed and is to
a great degree not operating in the
most efficient manner. He stated
20 million today are unemployed
and soon this large group will have
to be taken care of. The labor
question is followed by that con
cerning distribution of income, he
related, and asked how the pro
ducts of labor shall be better dis
tributed among the people.
Dr. Werner then inquired whether
or not the present concentration
in control oi American industry
represent the most desirable form
of ownership, and why dishonesty
in business, education and life was
so prevalent in our existing soc.al
order. He discussed the move
ments toward war and peace, re
organization of our basic institu
tions government, church, hom
and school the attitude toward re
tention of our civil liberties, our
educational system and even our
individual and social life.
In summing up his talk. Dr.
Werner stated that these change?
are coming forward, and they will
have to be met and settled by tha
American youth of today.
