UP TO THE STUDCNTS
The annoiim cnicnt ot the withdiaw

in u daiu es w ill sti ike a popular chord
The situation since the beginning o!
s, hool has been strained, as far as tin
dame is concerned. The rule toibid
nig all but the unit, two step am'
Boston has been lived up to, but tin
idea lias hi en somewhat prevalent thai
"it" was mcieh a matter of time, ami
that in the meantime "it" was rathei
tough link. A condition which lostei
ed the new dances in the private sex
ial affairs of the city and which per
mitted them in dances given duriiu
vacation while the students were honn
and out from the purisdiction of tin
campus, was not a premanent work
ing condition. When the parents (
the students did not object to, and
even aprcned ot, the new dances, tin
University could not well hold out
Howeer, now that the ban is re
iimml, it is "up to" the students to
in ove that their right to enjoy tin
pri liege is appiec iated. The etrenie
fornii ot the dames which hae slipp
ed under the bars are specific all dis
criminated against. They have not ie
reived the aproval ol universit au
tliorities here or in other universities
Students will reali.e that they are still
considreed bv a great many, question
able. And in honoring this lact and
respecting the pmilegfle gi anted by
the committee, literally to use their
own good judgment as to what should
and wiiiit should not be danced, thej
will p.ie the wa lor lurther pni

SELF GOVERNMENT
Students c nunc lis in one lorm or
another hae t pitied the western uni
versities in their development. At
some institutions extremes ot libert
have been granted students by tac ul
ties, and the power has been given
them of settling far greater questions
than they are tltted to act upon. The
usually course of development for
sue h a council leads from a period of
great success (seeming to ultimate
dissolution and loss of power. For
students are everywhere particular
and exneting, even more so than the
faculties, when they assume correc
tive attitudes over themselves. And
when it is seen that a false standard
Is being maintained, that oo great lib
erties are taken by the councils, the
downlall of the organization is im
pending. Likewise, efllicient councils
have flourished.
At Nebraska there has been an agit
atlon ol some form or other for such j
a student governing body for seveial
years Of recent times it has been
openly agitated, and the Australian
system, the junior c lass board of man
ageis, and the proposed senior class
government ol a board of coinniision
ers may be said to be steps in this
direction. Each tends toward unif
ing systematizing the student govern j
menl j
Tlnie is no student government at'
pres. nt, howeer Class government is i
weak in itsell, and is not representn
tie or active except in the limited
quest ions which concern the1 classes
A representative genernnient, or a
representative bod, ot the entire
Unuiversity does not exist. Cuestions
of general student concern tall nat
urally into the hands ol the faculty, '
for there is no student body which
has power to act. This semester an i
unusal number of sin h cases have o
cured, which has caused the usual '
student protest ot "fac tulty control" to
rise Ml because in lieu ol a student
bod with power to act, the fac ulty has
had to take a hand .mil enac t rules
and regulations.
Rec ognimg this c ondition, and bear
ing the assurance of members of the
facult that laculty control is not de
siied H students can eflec t their own
sstem, the movement for a student
Couin il c ulminated in the meeting yes
terday The initial steps taken will
be to piepare a broad statement of tin
success or failure of the plan in other
Universities. From this an organia
tion which will meet the peculiar
needs of Nebraska is to be planned
This will be submitted to a vote of
the student body. If an constitution
can be drawn up which will give the
council just enough power, make it a
tiuly representatne student boch, and
make it efhc iei.t. there is no doubt
but that it will till a long felt want.
