elect a Tried Man.
Yesterday morning the Junior class
held a meeting In Memorial Hall for i
the purK)90 of electing tho edltor-ln-1
chief of the Cornhusker for the coming
year. The meeting was called to order '
very shortly after 11:110 by President j
Show, and the minutes of the lust
meeting having been read and ap
proved, the reports of the finance com
mittee and the committee on tho
f Junior-Senior reception having been
received, the principal business of the ,
hour wa3 begun.
Mr. Show prefaced the election by
a short speech declaring that in put
ting theee two men, Mr. De Con and
Mr. Jorgensen before the class, ho did
so after careful consideration and
after no little advising with tho fac
ulty. Tho two principal requisites ,
which he felt necessary to the man
assuming the position of editor-in-chief,
ho said, were the ability to write good
English, to bo able to know good copy
when he saw it, and executive ability.
It really lay within tho province of the
president to select tho editor and then
haVe his appointment ratified1 by the
class, but Mr, Show preferred to shift
at least a part of the responsibility
from his shoulders to those of the class
collectively.

Mr. Eaton raised the point as to why

Mr. Munn then rose in his usual coy,
