Counsel for
The Council.
AST week a new student council took office to
begin the work of carrying on the projects
started and developed by last year's group. Tues
day the organization will meet by Itself for the first
time to outline plans, to appoint committees, and to
set the necessary machinery in order, so that it may
begin to function competently when the new semes
ter starts.
Like all large and unwieldy bodies, the council
carries on the major portion of its work thru com
mittees which number about 10. During the past
year many of these groups have functioned to a
great advantage, putting new projects on their feet
and rousing students in some measure from their
apathy. The student union committee, used book,
publicity, big six conference, and constitution are
among the host which have been wowing, out. u is
interesting to note that the same few names appear
on the roster of each committee, that a very few
members do all of the work.
The old student council need not be ashamed of
its record during the past year; it deserves a great
deal of praise for the numerous plans which it has
Instituted and carried out. However, it has been
hampered, as have all past councils, by a member
ship consisting of two-thirds "dead-heads," wno
were elected to the organization on a party ticket
and who appeared only at voting days to cast their
ballots as they had been instructed.
Out of a membership of thirty-five the past
council did its work through the efforts of about ten
members. Committees had to be rearranged contin
ually as members dropped out, failed to appear, or
protested that they were too busy to accomplish
the tasks assigned them.
Only one time last year did a quorum fail to
appear to do business when a meeting was called,
but everv meetine showed many absent; and the
regular work of the organization suffered greatly
because the burden of a tremendous program was
thrown on the shoulders of too few people, who
could not conceivably accomplish all the goals which
the organization sets itself,
One of the chief difficulties, of course, is that
the council is regarded by many as merely a step
ping stone to senior honoraries or as a method by
which members can put their cohorts on the prom
committee. The other problem is the method of
election and total absence or any system or. recau.
As long as senior honoraries and political Sys
tems exist upon the campus, the first problem can
not be solved. But the second shows greater possi
bilities for change, if the council itself would take
as much interest in this as it does in other projects.
The committee on reorganization should take de
finite steps to remedy the situation.
Democracy is a great thing and should and docs
have its place in all true American institutions,
However, it can go so far as to hinder its own pur
pose, and such has it done in the student council.
It has resulted in a situation where a great many
students who have neither knowledge of or interest
in the affairs of student government are yearly
elected to frame and carry out the work, so that
every college may be represented. This means that
men and women who could and would work are not
permitted to even place their names on the ballot.
Why not some sort of merit system to at least
limit the selection of candidates, with an election
held at large? The student council should be con
sidered a major activity, and as such, only those
who have the time and interest to devote to it
should make up its membership. Why not give the
council the authority to expel members for inac
tivity and neglect of their duties ? No organization
can exist efficiently if there are no provisions for
replacement of inefficient officers and members.
Student government is still a "noble experi
ment" which cannot and wiil not prove itself suc
cessful unless each student takes upon himself the
responsibility of accomplishing a part of the work.
Much undue as well as much merited criticism has
fallen upon the organization during past years. A
great part of this is and was due to no other fact
than that membership of the organization failed to
measure up to any standards.
If the new council has hopes of successfully
carrying thru any sort of program, let them first
look to some work in the reorganization committee.
Half-measures have dogged the footsteps of every
council; let the new one take advantage of past ex
periences and see that the council membership gains
in responsibility, activity, and consequently, in
merit!

FRED NICKLAS.
THEY stand with the president.
United States senators Thurs
day sustained Roosevelt's veto of
the Patman bonus bill. Their action
had been forecast, even before the
overwhelming overriding vote was
taken in the house of representa
tives. Barely had President Roose
velt concluded his veto message
when representatives began an
swering the roll call for the rec
ord vote. Their verdict: 322
against the president, and only
98 favoring sustaining the veto.
The nation's executive gave five
polntsd reasons for his veto Chief
among thtm were fears of infla
tion, and uncontrollable prices, re
sulting from printing press money
to be used In payment. First, how
ever, he reminded congress that
the payment was not due for ten
years.
Last Tuesday mighty little
Adolph Hitler delivered a message
the world had long awaited. Ger
many, ha said, would b willing to
do her share, and then some, in
securing Europe's peace security,
lis promised not to abridge the
Versailles treaty any more. If there
IS anything left to abridge he has
a swell chance to prove his sin
cerity. Sine the Nazis began their re
armament program, the rest of
the world has lost faith In Hit
ler's willingness to take much
part in any sort of a peace move
ment Now the fiery dictator an
nounces ha is ready to discour
age competitive arming.
Potential Hitler foes brand Ms
metasgs a disguised threat of a re

nerve to drive a car around the
oval at more than a hundred
miles an hour knowing that
you might be next.
One of the drivers, a twenty-five
year old amateur didn't even make
one circuit of the treacherous
track. He was dead when they
hauled him out of remains of his
racer, after it plunged over the re
taining wall. His mechanic may
not live.
You can fool some of the people

it once too often. Because he could
dislocate his neck at will he was
able to collect damages on several
fake accident charges. Now a
court has caught up with him, and
it's the court's turn to do a little
dislocating.
