and capacity to assume," says
Chancellor C. 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-

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

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.
