Publication Board Satisfied With
Business Management and Re
elects C. C. Buchanan as
Its Manager.
Clifford L. Rein was elected Editor-in-Chief
of the Dally Nebraskan for
the ensuing semester at a meeting of
the Student - Publication Board held
Wednesday morning in the ofllce of
Dean O. V. P. Stout, president of the
Board. Kenneth M. Snyder was pro
moted to the position of Managing
Editor, filling the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Merrill Reed, the
present Incumbent, and who, on ac
count of the pressure of outside work
will not be able to Berve on the paper
during the next semester. John L.
Cutright, C. Neil Brown, and Miss Bes
sie Mason, will be the new associates.
The present business staff, consisting
of C. C. Buchanan, Manager; J. L.
Driscoll, assistant manager, and J. S.
Bowon, circulation manager, were re
elected to serve another term.
C. L. Rein, the newly elected edi
tor of the paper, is not a stranger
to University students, although he
assumes a new role in taking over
the editorship of the Nebraskan. He
has represented the University in two
intoraollegiate debating contests, is a
member of the Senior Society of Inno
cents, Delta Sigma Rho, Phi Alpha
Tau, and Silver Lynx. Rein has been
especially active in various student
movements, taking a leading part in
the Single Tax movement laBt May,
and the Freshman Cap movement this
last fall. He is a brilliant student, and
a fellow in the department of rhetoric
and it is expected that his occupancy
of the head position on the paper will not b'-en announced, but the frat men
be met with general success. i .ire expecting the worst.

son were on the repetorial stall the
past semester and will do efficient
work in their new positions.
Coc Buchanan will be the only busi-
ness manager of the Daily Nebraskan
who has received a re-election, the
usual custom being to retire this offl-
cer at the expiration of his yearly
term. He was retained, however, be
cause, of his successful management
of the paper's finances, he having suc

NON-FRAT MEN UNITE AT WISC.
Common Organization 8lmilar to That
Formed by 8enator La Follette
Takes Place in Politics.
UNIVER8ITY OF WISCONSIN,
Jan. 23. An organization of all the
non-fraternity men in college, to be
known as the Commons, is now being
perfected here, despite the opposition
of the societies and many of the in
dependents themselves.
The organization states as Its pur
pose the upbuilding of true all-Wisconsin
spirit, but does not deny that
it will, as a body, take an active part
in undergraduate policies. Whether
it will "cut" all fraternity men who
run for oflice, or merely support cer
tain representatives independents, hasi
oiganied 1 Senatoi Robert La Fol
lete here in his undergraduate das.
Charter Day and Interfraternity in-
door Candidates.
Tin hours from 4 to 5 on Monday
Wednesday and Friday and 2 to 3 Sat
unlay have been reserved for practice
for these contests and Dr. Clapp or
one of the other instructors will be On
the floor to help any students who
wish assistance in preparing for these
events.

LACKS HOSPITAL FACILITIES
A reclassification of the medical
colleges in the United States, Just
completed, places Nebraska in the
second list, instead of the first, whero
the last classification of a fow months
ago placed it. This apparent lower
ing of the standard of Nebraska's col
lege is taken, by some to mean that
rtho course gUerv. hejro is below stand
ard, whereas, an Investigation reveals
the fact that the present ruling 1b an
arbitrary one- Tvhloh does not affect
the present rating in the least.
Up to the present time two classes
A and B have been recognized as
the above and below standard classi
fications. Class A meant that the
courses in the colleges of that class
were accepted by the Board of Amer
ican Colleges. All unqualified col
leges were listed in Class B. In the
last distribution Nebraska was well
toward the top in ClasB A.
In the Saturday number of the
Journal of the American Medical As
sociation a third division is Intro
duced Class A-plus.
This new claBB Includes those col
leges owning, or controlling a hos
pital. Because of the fact that Ne
braska does not maintain a hospital,
but gives practical medical work in
the several hospitals of Omaha, It is
retained In Class A. While colleges
formerly less qualified have been
raised to Class A-plus, because of
their hospital facilities. It is under
stood that by the new arrangement
Nebraska is deprived of a rightful
pluce owing to the lack of facilities
which have never been necessary.

ATTEMPT OF LOCAL CRIER TO SE
CURE ORIQINAL COPY OF
TUESDAY'S EDITORIAL
FAILS.
SNOOPING GETS NO RESULTS
Lack of Evidence, However, Does Not
Prevent Usual Knockers' La
ment to Extant of a Half
Column.
Hoping to get ovldonco to substan
tiate charges made against the Dally
Nebraskan, an attempt was made yes
terday to obtain tho original draft of
an articlo printed in Tuesday's paper.
The purpOBo was to discover if pos
sible, tho eourco of the item In ques
tion. However, the attempted steal fell
through. Tho foreman in churge of
the copy bo badly desired realized
that ho was working for tho Dally Ne
braskan and that be must protect
their Interests against the crooks ho
was dealing with. The snooping re
porter was quickly told to "beat It"
and left without tho desired copy.
With ordinary yellow Bheets tho
lack of evidence would have stopped
matters nt this point, but not with
this ono. Without one scrap of ma
terial subfltuntinting the charges made
over a half column was devoted to
pure indoimlble knocking on tho Daily
Nebraskan, such as might bo hotter
expected from a country weekly.
Tho next time any copy is desired
by this paper it is suggested a re
quest will probably bring better re
sults than the childish procedure gone
through in this case.
