THE STUDENT COUNCIL CONVEN
TION.
It seema qujlo evident that ,tho
representatives of tho various classes
choBen to framo a constitution lor a
student council havo taken tho law
Into their own hands and havo de
elded that thoro Is no demand for a
student council In Nebraska. ThlB Is
tho wrong spirit on their part. It
should bo of no matter to theso people
whether or not their plan would be
adopted. Thoy havo boon dolegated
to do a definite work. Thoy should
do that work regardless of all clrcum
stances.
But perhaps tho way In which
things aro working thomaolvca out Is,
after all, not far from a good solution
of tho problom. If no ono cares
enough about tho council to raise His
voice in protost against such inde
fonsiblo dolay and .inofflcloncy of
thoflo In chargo of tho movement, thon
cortainly wo aro not ready for solf
govornmopt. If no ono cares enough
about It to demand tho action which
1b so nocoBsary to tho movement, then
If adopted wo could hopo for llttlo real
Olf-govornment,
W.o aro in favor of self-governmont
of every Intelligent body. Wo bo
Hovo that self-government would bo
a good thing for Nobraska. But It Is
so palpably ovldont that tho greater
part of tho school either thinks tho
Dthor way, or else dooB not think at
nil, that wo hdvo- gravo fears whether
or not self-govprnmont could bo sue
coBBfu'ly attomptod hero.
Wo bollovo tho only way to start a
council at Nobraska would bo to band
togethor soveral supporters of tho
plan, havo them draft a proposed con
stitution, havo them" glvo it tho neces
sary publicity, and then submit it to
tho students. It will be accepted as a
matter of course. Then may It bo-
mmi n leal Nebraska institution;!
through use and through custom. Its
possibilities can only bo realized
through oxporlonco. Wo havo found
out that tho ono way to "put ono over"
bo It a candidate or a student coun
cil Is to band together a group of
men whoso IntoreBt is sufficient to
guarantee their earnest work. Such a
body is tho only ono that will succeed.
fTho sense of duty is sadly lacking
In tho average University student.
Thoy havo not tho slightest idea of
tho meaning of tho term. Soe how
thoy accept their duty on ho conven
tion. If, Instead of elected representa
tives of classes, wo had a body of
mon vitally interested in seeing a
council "put across" at Nebraska, wo
would havo action ana havo It at once.
You can not oscapo It. Tho fact Is
that personal interest will accomplish
what It sots out to do; class repre
sentatives seldom if ever do. What
tbo school wanted was a draft of n
constitution to voto upon. Mon who
wantod to see a council bad enough
to work hard for it would submit tho
best possible constitution becauao
they woro so anxious to havo it adopt
ed. What do wo care who frames it?
What wo havo wanted is action, tin
dor tho present system wo havo not
had It Wo aro forced to await the
advent of tho other.
ENGINEER INSPECTION
(Continued from Pago Ono)
Lincoln Traction Company's Plant
3:00 p. m. to 4:00 p. m.
Tho trip through tho Havelock
shops Is limited to twenty men, but
tho other trips will bo opon to all
mon going on tho inspection. A break
will bo mado In tho group when tho
inspection of tho Lincoln Traction
Company's plant is mado for there
aro many divisions In ontorpriso.
.Chairman Holllster said that any
young man interested in tho trip can
make arrangements to accompany the
onglneers by seeing him. ,
COLLEGE man is fonder of his sweater than of
any other garment. This is why you should wear
a "Bradley." It's worthy of your regard. It's
a friend that will stand by you all during your college
course. It's made of tho "stuff" that will never go back
on you that will stand all you can givo it and never lose
its shape or newness.

leaks this year. Tho juniors will all
