THE SELECTION OF
NEXT YEAR'S INNOCENTS
The selection of thirteen men who
are supposed to be the best in the
junior class is indeed a difficult one.
No two persons would select the
same thirteen, and no selection would
be universally popular.
But it is not to be doubted that
there is more dissatisfaction with
this year's selection than ever be
fore. One of the reasons for this is the
fact that such men as Tim Corey,
Ted Metcalf, Don Marcellus, John
Iliddell and others are not selected.
These men have always been leaders
of the student body. They will still
be leaders of next year's students
whether officially so recognized or
not.
This complaint will be met by th3
reply that these men are not eligible
according to the rules of the society.
This contention, together with a
glance at the few who were chosen,
will give rise to wonder as to what
the eligibility rules are. The Inno
cents are supposed to be the thirteen
leaders of the senior class for next
year. This is the third year for the
men named above. That Ihey . are
real leaders Is not to be doubted.
What, then, bars them from the cov
eted recognition?
Until the Student, Council is adopt
ed, the Innocent society is the only
organization in school bearing any re
semblance to a representative govern
ing body. The governed certainly
have the right to know what charac
teristics are necessary to the men se
lected to rule them.
Will the Innocents rise to the occa
sion and clarify the beclouded popu
lar mind, by publishing their eligibil-

THE PAGEANT
We are about to witness the second
annual Pageant of Nebraska. The first
appearance of this institution, given
a year ago before a wondering and
doubtful public, was a success, and
justified further work along this line.
A success this year will assure the
Pageant a prominent place amoug
Nebraska's many worthy traditions.
The promoters of this new institu
tion seek no glory for themsfclves.
It is the result of no effort to pro
mote the personal advantage of any
one. No financial reasons entered in
to the conception of the idea. If it
succeeds, we, the people of Nebras
ka, will be the parties benefited.
The Tageant of Nebraska is the re
sult of an attempt to bring to our
state another advantage so long con
fined to the supposedly more learned
east. This is a year of pageants.
The large cities and universities are
alive with this line of work. And
we here have the opportunity to be
hold a work of art second to none,
and composed by Nebraskans.
You owe your support to the Pag
eant, not to make surer its financial
success, but to add your influence
the patient few who are attempting to
do something really great for Ne
braska. Do what you can to promote
the development of a native art.
STUDENT COUNCILS
IN OTHER SCHOOLS
We have often mentioned in these
columns the success with which the
Student Councils have operated in
other schools. This conclusion lias
been based upon answers to certain
questions we mailed to the editors of
other college papers. That the stu
dents may have access to the same
sources we have used, we will pub
lish in Monday's paper a table show
ing the composition, powers and suc
cess of these institutions. Later in
the week we will submit the proposed
constitution for Nebraska, on which
we hope to get a vote the week after.

A woman Is never expected to tell
the truth about her age, or her neigh
bors. If there ever comes a day,
With the bench works put away,
We would hate to try to say,
How many girls would stay.
liuss Israel says he doesn't care for
this column. We'll certainly have to
rustle around and get some better
"dope."
A person will always support his
own idea.
"I told you so,"
Is the song of the crank
When all things go wrong
"You'll never know,"
Say those who are frank.
When strange things happen along.
WEATHER FORECAST
Tonight: Partly cloudy; no decided
change in temperature.

PLAINT OF A MILITARIST
When the four o'clocks are over,
And a feller's tired out,
When he ought to leave the campus,
And put his school thoughts to rout;
Then the bugle call will get him,
And he has to go and drill,
No time to eat some candy,
Or to smoke another pill;
Has to suit up, stick his cap on,
Put on tan shoes, get a gun.
And then drill like the dickens
Till the settin' of the sun,
You may talk about your hard luck,
There's" nothing much to this, well
Gee, it's true just as they tell it,
War certainly is bliss.
