A CHANGE IN OUR SINGLE TAX PLAN The regents did not lay the Single Tax on the table, as was intimated in one of the city papers. It was mid night when they finished their other business, and no human being could ask them to work later, even though the disposal of this matter would have taken only a few minutes. The Single Tax is yet a live issue, and we trust that it will be considered at the next meeting. It is of sufficient importance to the student body to de mand early attention, even though it may seem insignificant in comparison with the other business the regents have to dispose of. It is certain, however, that if the Single Tax plan were to continue in its present form it would have a long, weary road ahead of it. We, there fore, deem it advisable to alter the original plan in one particular. We will now change the plan so that if the student desires, he may escape the payment of this fee by signing a statement to the effect that he does not intend to take part in any activi ties, and therefore considers the fee an imposition. The only class, we believe, that would sign such a state ment is that class of older people who are past the age of student life. The change, furthermore, will remove from the plan all idea of compulsion. This should remove all opposition to the Single Tax, both on the cam pus and in the state at large. The only reasons advanced thus far by the opposition are, in their last analysis, objections to the fact that it is com pulsory. With this phase removed, the plan would pass without objec tion. We are not doing this because we believe the change is right. We still contend that the old plan should be adopted. It has the support of the student body; it is urged by the fac ulty; results elsewhere overwhelm ingly justify its adoption; it is legal. If these facts are not sufficient to paas the measure, and to justify the regents in the eyes of the legislature and of the people of the state, we are unable to conceive a state of facts that would. But we believe that the compromise plan is better than the present state of chaos. Its adoption for next year will assure progress, while the chance of securing the adoption of the other plan will not definitely guarantee anything. If the voluntary plan is tried for a few years and the fact that it is voluntary found to be its only fault as in other schools where it has been tried there will be time for amendment. In the meantime, we will have a Greater Nebraska. For the sake of expediency, there fore, we change the Single Tax to the voluntary system.

Spend Too Much Money States are not justified in spending the large amounts they do for edu cation, declared President Hill. The craduate must have a social point of view and help the state. There could be fewer instructors with more pay and better results. The money could be made to go farther if we could start ail over and put on only the fun damental courses for each student, and add others for the graduate stu dents. The great number of courses we offer in American institutions are not to our, credit. They only de tract attention from what is more im portant. One thing that retards the development of the graduate student is the variety of courses open to the undergraduate. "The spirit of discovery is the very essence of good teaching. The func- Ion of an institution is not to uphold the idols of democracy, but its ideals." In conclusion, President Hall said that institutions should co-operate, for it is difficult for an individual unl versity to stand alone. There will be a senior program at the Palladian meeting this evening. A short play, "Divorce," will also be given. Visitors are welcome. The Palladian and Union societies will hold open meetings in their re spective halls this evening at 8 o'clock. Visitors are welcome. UNIONS IN OTHER SCHOOLS Among the universities that have recently established a Student Union is the University of Colorado, situ ated at Boulder.' The Colorado Union was begun in September of 1915, and is situated on the campus. The building contains reading, lounging and billiard rooms. Besides these, they have the regular business offices, similar to the student activi ties office at Nebraska. The Union also handles the annual opera and a part of the May Fete. Plans for en largement in the near future arc un der way. All male members of the Associated Students of the University of Colo rado are admitted to membership. The finances of the Union are kept up by membership dues. Our corre spondent reports that the Institution is successful in every way. Considering the age and size of the two schools, Nebraska should be far abler to support a Student Union than is Colorado. All that is lacking at Nebraska is the spirit and organiza tion.
