THE ELECTION
At last the formal announcement
and the plan for the coming election
has been submitted. It is not every
thing that we had hoped for, but it is
better than nothing at all, and will
accomplish more than has ever been
accomplished, along this line before.
The first proposition on which the
students will vote is whether or not
they favor the appointment of a com
mittee to draw up a definite plan and
constitution for a student state headed
by the Student Council. Just how even
the most radical opponents of the
Council can object to this proposition
is hard to see. It does not adopt the
Student Council. It merely provides
for the submission of a definite plan
to be adopted or rejected next year.
No one can consistently object to an
expression of student sentiment. To
do so would be an effort to gag public
opinion.
There will he some difficulty in
getting out the vote There are several
examinations on the same day, to say
nothing of the competitive drill It is
almost inhuman to ask students to
take time to vote when there are ao
many detractions. But there has
never been a real step taken in ad
vance that has not meant a certain
sacrifice of time.
THE COMMITTEE OF FIVE
It will be noticed that the ballot
calls for the suggestion of a commit
tee of five to confer wiht University
authorities as to how to get the proper
organization for the purpose of draw
ing up the constitution for the Student
Council. Remember that this commit
tee does not write the constitution; it
merely draws up a plan for securing a
representative body to do so.
To name the students eligible to
serve on the committee would be prac
tically to repeat the student directory.
However, to secure a sort of informal
nomination, and to get the students to
think on the matter, we take the
liberty of suggesting the following
names:
George Grimes, Edwin Partridge,
Tim Corey, E. J. Althouse, Albert Bry
son, A. J. Covert, Ted Metcalf, Axel
Swenson, W. K. Miller, Doris Slater,
Louise Coe, DeWitt Foster, John
Riddell, Ray Doyle, Edna Froyd, Jean
Burroughs, Eva Miller, Walter Hager,
Vincent George, Glen Everts.
THE VOTE ON THE SINGLE TAX
The submission of the Single Tax
to the students at this time is a sur
prise. The regents at one time waived
the question of student support, and it
was supposed that that part of the
proposition was settled for all time.
But now that it is up, the only thing
to do is to vote it through.
It will be noticed that the plan, in
its present form, is for the voluntary
tax. The arguments advanced by Mr.
Hare and Mr. Weber at the beginning
of the semester were, in their final
analysis, objections to the fact that the
system was compulsory. The change
in the plan has therefore removed
every objection that was advanced
against it. ' '
It might be recited at this time that
last week the students at the Univer
ity of Texas adopted the Single Taj
by a vote of 1,307 to 215. Let's show
them that we have as much school
spirit as they have.
FORUM
Lincoln, Nebraska, May 22, 1916.
Editor of Daily Nebraskan,
Lincoln, Nebr,
Gentlemen :
In The Daily Nebraskan of May 22nd
you asked for an explanation for the
lateness of the 1916 edition of the
Cornhusker. The cause for this delay
was published in The Daily Nebraskan
some time ago, but as you do not seem
to have read the paper I will explain
again. The fact that the year book
is not yet in the hands of the readers
is no fault of either the editorial staff
or the business management. Their
work was all completed on schedule
time. The two weeks delay was
caused by the fact that the engravers
were unable to obtain a sufficient
amount of copper within the limited
time. They had all their copper ex
pressed to them instead of having it
sent by freight, but even at that rate
they could not procure enough to sup
ply the large amount needed to fill the
Cornhusker order of this year. The
munition factories had the first hand
in the supply and did not leave enough
for other purposes. As you realize,
this condition that could not be pre
vented by any students of the Univer
sity of Nebraska.
At the present time the express
men's strike in Chicago Is making
some trouble but I do not think that
it will cause any serious delay. Fri
day, May 26th, has been set as the
day for the distribution and I am sure
that every one will be satisfied as the
quality of the book has not been im
paired in the least by these delays.
Trusting that this explanation is
what you desired, we remain,
Very respectfully yours,
THE CORNHUSKER 1916,
WALTER BLUNK,
Ass't Business Manager.

HOLD PROM IN RATHSKELLER
At the University of Washington
the Junior prom is to be held in the
Rathskeller. To those who may think
it a somewhat unusual resort for an
affair of the sort, be it said that the
Rathskeller Is one of Seattle's audi
toriums, and not what its name im
plies.
