Mr. Jones and his 40
Rosebowlers leave tonight
Tuesday evonhig in social sciences auditorium a few members of the sen
ior class, requested to attend this meeting because they were leaders in vari
ous organized groups, informally accepted a proposal, the purpose of which is
to unify the senior class into a body in which every senior would become con
scious of his place as a senior in this university.
For years this campus has seen no class organization comparable to the
organizations working on large university campuses all over the country. For
years it has seen senior class presidents who had nothing to do but plant the
Ivy in the spring and stand in mute office the rest of the year. And as a re
sult of no class organization, seniors have left this institution with no real
class memory, no real impression or realization of what their class meant to
them. During all this time, classes on other campuses have enjoyed the par
ties, dances, receptions and other activities senior classes should sponsor and
co-operate in realizing.
The plan presented to those who met Tuesday evening is simple, and is
Stated here briefly:
1. There should be an organized senior council, composed of presidents
(if they are not seniors, then senior representatives) of organized groups,
such as fraternities, sororities, activity groups, barb co-ops, barb eating
clubs, barb social groups, and whatever other organizations are deserving
of recognition.
2. The presiding officer of this Senior Council shall be the senior class
president.
3. This council shall provide ideas for senior class activities, of which
there can be many enough to let all the seniors know there is class or
ganization. 4. On various committees appointed for activities, all seniors who want
to work may do so after indicating they would like to help.
5. Then Senior Council shall be the body with which the administration
would meet in any emergency that would demand immediate gathering of
student opinion or aid from the student body in any promotional efforts.
Those points are merely what we think the organization should be like.
If the membership is fixed and the body meets, it would, of course, be free to
decide on whatever kind of program it fdt necessary or proper. The seniors
who heard the proposal evidently were in favor of it, as there were no objec
tions. After vacation, plans will be carried out. The success of the whole idea
depends on its acceptance by the rest of the senior class. "We would appre
ciate comments.
Tonight, 40 of the Jones boys entrain for the Rose Bowl. In light of ei
thusiasm shown since the acceptance of the bid, including the mad scramble
for tickets, there seems to be no reason why the rally tonight should not be
the noisiest sendoff a Nebraska squad has ever received.
Classes today will not be dismissed in any event, and those who attempt
to break them up may get into serious trouble. Save your lungs and legs
for tonight.
Remember, those 40. men who carry the name "Cornhuskers" into battle
in Tasadena on New Year's day will be just a little more intent on winning
and perhaps a little more capable of hitting paydirt if they leave with cheerg
and songs really ringing in their ears.
Senior health
examinations
Appearing in yesterday's editorial column was a resume of a story ap
pearing in the University of Kansas daily paper which announced that seniors
should apply for appointments to take physical examinations. The Kansas
health service gives these examinations as part of its regular service.
According to Dean R. A. Lyman, director of the Nebraska student
health service, his department conducts the same type of work. Dean Ly
man yesterday told a DAILY reporter that any senior could take a similar
examination upon request.
At Kansas, the health department asks for requests, and from the tone of
the article appearing in the Kansan, the practice is promoted and seniors are
urged to take the examinations,
We are sorry that our ending phrase, "Could it happen here?" carried
the implication that it did. But there is no program or series of dates set
aside on this campus for senior examinations, and to our knowledge, the
health service would be hard pressed to conduct a really sizeable senior exam
ination schedule.
The examinations given at Kansas are thoro and rigid. If the health serv
ice offers similar tests here, we suggest seniors take advantage of the offer
and submit to examination.
If this is offered to seniors here, we apologize for the implication . .
and we urge seniors to take advantage of the offer.
A song boasting
a vivid past is
'On Wisconsin?
MADISON, Wis. (ACP). The
famous college son?, "On Wiscon
sin" was originally written for the
University of Minnesota.
Hard-pressed for money, Wil
liam T. Purdy composed the tune
to compete for a $1,000 prize of
fered by the University of Min
nesota for a new football song.
When Carl Bock of New York, a
friend of Purdy, heard it, he wrote
the words and persuaded Purdy to
give it to the University of Wis
consin instead.

game in 1909, "On Wisconsin" was
an immediate hit. Since then it has
been adapted, with changes of
words, by numerous colleges
throughout the United States.
When Purdy died in poverty in
1918, Wisconsin alumni and friends
gave $2,500 to his family. Later
the state provided scholarships at
the University for the composer's
two children.
