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

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. Let's get busy.
