Council Wakes Up
Early last fall the University of Nebraska Student Council ap
proved the constitution of the Student National Defense Committee
which was formulated through the efforts of the Daily Nebraskan
and the Student Union. Durinng this first semester that commit
tee has functioned in aiding as much in defense as possible by
helping the British War Relief society with knitting and ticket
sales, by sending news letters to former university students now in
the various branches of military service, and by offering its services.
to the Red Cross. Since the United States has become involved di
rectly in the war the committee has arranged to help with Red
Cross knitting for civilian use, Red Cross first aid classes in th-i
Union, knitting for the army, sale of defense stamps, continuation
of the monthly news letter, entertaining the 220 men at the air
plane school and campaigning for volunteers to assist with the
projects.
Perhaps the Daily Nebraskan has not ballyhooed enough the
work the defense committee is doing. This appeared to be the case
when, at its meeting last night, the Student Council opened dis
cussions on setting up "some sort" of a defense denization on
the campus. The editor realized the need for such an organization
last spring and started work on it immediately after school started
in the fall. Only last night did the Student Council realise that
the committee which it had authorized several months ago had
been working on defense projects.
The Daily Nebraskan has been giving a great deal of publicity
to the defense committee's activities and has continually asked
for suggestions and aid in its work. Up to the present time, no
one has offered any suggestions and very few have offered
aid. Since the Student Council has finally waked up to the fact
that there is such a committee in existence perhaps that body will
have some suggestions or will offer some help. As we have said
all along in news articles and editorials, we welcome suggestions
and help from any individuals or groups that are willing to give
suggestions and help.

Details of the extempore-discussion
contest will be furnished by
Dr. Laase in the department of
speech office in the Temple to any
interested student.
Students who desire to enter
should register their intention with
Dr. Laase. A number of round
table discussions will then be con
ducted on the campus from which
eight speakers will be chosen to
represent the university in the
district conference which will be
conducted here February 27 and
28. The extempore-discussion con
test will be a part of a complete
forensic meet which will be held
here on that date.
Build Morale.
The entire plan was outlined
toy government officials last week
in Detroit at the convention of
the National Association of Teach
ers of Speech. It is proposed as
part of a program by .which the
college and university speech de
partments throughout the nation
will cooperate in a civilian morale
building program. The university
will cooperate to its fullest ex
tent. Tentatively planned by the
speech department are: training of
three minute speakers for defense
bond and stamp sale; presentation
of patriotic skits and pageants by
the university theatre; debates on
post-war aims.

news letters to former students in

Palladium Vote
To Spend $600
For War Bonds
Tying in with current war inter
est and efforts on the campus, the
Palladian Liters iy Society voted to
purchase $600 worth of defense
bonds at their regular business
meeting Monday night.
The society decided to take the
money from its savings after con
sulting with an alumni committee,
and president Harold Alexis an

zation of the educational staff for
work in the next few months.
. Need for cooperation of all
groups and agencies in the food
for freedom campaign was em
phasized by Reuben Brigham, as
sistant extension director in the
U. S. department of agriculture,
in his second appearance before
the Nebraska agricultural exten
sion service workers. 'This isn't
a solo performance," he declared,
"it requires the cooperation of all
farm people and every agricultural
agency."
The conference will close Thurs
day, i
weekend entertainment in the
Union for some 220 army fliers
stationed in the city, and booths
for selling defense savings stamps
in the Union lobby. After our
meeting tomorrow, we will issue
a call for volunteer workers in
any of the defense activities."
Following Miss Kerrigan's re
port, President Thiel stated, "We
realize now that the Council has
overlooked the Defense Commit
tee, which has evidently been op
erating very efficiently. It is now
our duty to devise some method
whereby the Student Council can
co-operate with the Defense Com
mittee." Following the discussion, Chris
Petersen moved that the Student
Council appoint a committee of
three to co-operate with the De
fense Committee which would con
tinue to operate under the direc
tion of the present executive
group, including Patricia Lahr,
Union director; Mary Kerrigan,
and six other student members.
The motion was tabled until the
next meeting, to be held today
at 5 p. m.
