S. Boucher to Stu dent Council members. "We have faith in our students individually and collectively. They have much ability and are sound and reliable citizens." Politics Are Important. A section of the handbook is de voted to politics which has seem ingly settled itself into fairly strong factions on this campus. For practical purposes and for the insurance of the maintenance of student government of a desirable form, any election demands the existence of two or more political parties, and the division, as it ex ists, is between those students who are members of fraternities and sororities and those who are unaffiliated. Politics should not, however, exert an influence over the business of the Student Coun cil. The greater part of the Student Council's work is not done by the action of the body as a whole. All new projects are first presented at a general meeting for the con sideration of the. group as a whole and the Council passes prelimi nary judgment on the valdity of the problem or project. Since the greater part of the Student Council's work is accom plished by the committees which exist within the Council it is ob vious that the committee organ ization must be efficient. The per manent committees are the judi ciary, elections, constitutions, ac tivities, cheerleadng, rally and mi grations. The Council also ap points representatives to the Stu dent Union Board, the rally com- Lucky Millinder To Play at King's Playing for dancers at King's ballroom Saturday night will be Lucky Millinder and his Decca recording band.

Council History. The Student Council, which was created in its present general form by vote of the student body on May 14, 1931, has had a re markable history. Seven years ago it started the $300,000 fund drive for the Student Union building. In 1936 the Council sponsored the national N.S.F.A. convention and after long effort on the part of the Student Council the Re gents Book Store was opened. Five years ago the Student Council affiliated itself with the National Student Federation of America. In 1938 the men's activity point system was set up. New election rules were adopted in 1939 and revised in 1940 as the result of a vigorous controversy over the results of an election. The year 1941-1942 marked the creation of what may become a project of great importance, the Nebraska Student Foundation. The Council also sponsored a cam pus drive for the American Red Cross. The book store committee succeeded in getting the price of caps and gowns lowered and, in addition, the book stores agreed to contribute a portion of their prof its to the newly created Student Foundation.

Yesterday we whipped over in the general direction of the coli seum, swung from one of the un capped pillars and noticed that the prevailing fashion right at this uncertain period in college life was the uniform. The uniform comes complete with gold buttons (regulation, with eagle), olive drab hue and insignia. Insignias come in all shapes, sizes and colors, but the best-dressed man on the campus, from this side of the situation, wears three silver diamonds on his shoulder. And a dignified ex pression on a stern face. They Watch the Men. Gathered along the bank to watch their men in action were clusters of Nebraska's typical lovely coeds. We noted that they wore, under topcoats, summer dresses cotton shirtwaist jobs and spectators. We were glad to see that summer has come at last. We were happy to find that the coeds were more numerous, pre sumably because of national de fense. Buy bonds and stamps now. Tomorrow the situation will change drastically. Summer will still be here. People will traipse over the old campus and sit be neath the trees to watch tradi tional ceremonies connected with the planting of the ivy and the IT? SWNCO Co., Long Island City, N. Y.

Assuming, as we do every year, that it will rain the night before Ivy Day, we caution all coeds to wear last year's spectators which will stand the stain when their heels sink into the immortal green of the traditional grass-covertd quad. And we warn all junior men and women to wear last year's shirts, slacks, sweaters, skirts and, most practical: bluejeans. In fact, we urge all students who plan to be anywhere near the scene of fes tivities tomorrow afternoon to wear their oldest clothes. With this year's mess, the Mortar Boards might have chosen 13 freshmen. Anything can happen. Like the above. Dr. Lyman Attends Education Meet Dr. R. A. Lyman, dean of the college of pharmacy, leaves the campus today to attend a meet ing in Chicago of the American Council of Education, which will take place Friday and Saturday, May 1 and 2. Dr. Lyman will represent the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, on which he has served as delegate ever since the association joined the council twelve years ago.
