Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln. Nebraska, as second class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
Last May there was a movement on foot for a Student Council.
There were only three weeks of school before the summer recess and
when the matter was brought before the students for a vote, many who
felt that the proposition was being rushed too hard, hesitated" to vote
for the Council without further knowledge of the plan.
Nevertheless, there was enough interest manifested to warrant
a revival of the discussions and to bring final action on the matter.
A Student Council is a representative student organization having
certain executive, legislative and judiciary powers. It is a plan for
student control by the students. A Student Council would be created
so that the students would be equally represented.
There are many arguments that will be brought against a Stu
dent Council, but one of the best tests for their soundness is the pres
ence or absence of personal selfishness.
There are many universities and colleges in the country that find
their Student Councils (or self-government associations), great suc
cess. A constitution that would eliminate any entrance of politics,
and that would make the organization respected by all, and helpful
to the whole institution, wouldfill a long-felt need at Nebraska.
How many times have you changed it from 6 to 7, since Jan
uary first?
With Christmas and January sales, the campus is again assuming
a look of prosperity.

From time immemorial there have been prophets who foretold
the most dreadful of futures. The witches and sorcerers.-bending over
boiling cauldrons, have prophesied the fate of many. And in like man
ner, the editor bending over a spotted green blotter, on the editorial
desk, and grinding out the last editorial before the paper goes to
press, foresees the fate of many. For, three weeks from today, exams
begin, and for those who have not been 100 per cent efficient, there
will be weeping and wailing and much midnight oil.
The wise ones who have done their work well and who have kept
their record well above the danger mark, can sit back and laugh at
their foolish neighbors who have wasted their time.
So, if you are one of the latter, get busy, these next three weeks
and cheat Fate of her dues, if you can.

Alumnus Assails College System
One of our present University pro
fessors used to have in his classes a
student with whom he frequently be
came involved in 'very lively debate,
owing to differences in opinion on
political and economic questions. The
other day the said professor received
from this former student, now a pro
fnoHnr nf economics in one of the
well-known co-educatlonal schools of
the country, a letter discussing the
character of the membership of the
college of liberal arts, the one non
technical college of both his and our
school.
The professor who received it finds
that, as usual, he disagrees with most
of the ideas of his former student, be
ing himself a Btrong believer in both
"practical" courses and co-education.
The letter is so pointedly and enter
tainingly written, however, that he has
gelt unable to keep It to himself, and
so has turned it over to The Ne
braskan for publication. If it should
stir up some of the "practical" men or
some of the co-eds to the point of
making a reply, he will probably be
still more interested and entertained.
The main parts of the letter run as'
follows :
"The student whose reading on ser
ious subjects is confined to the Satur
day Evening Post and the World's
Work and similar journals comes
quickly to the conclusion that 'theory'
is all 'bunk.' A course in 'practical
economics is what he wants. It mat
ters not what it deals with, whether
dishwashing or bookkeeping or adver
tising; so long as it supplies many
facts (the less digestible the better)
and speaks learnedly of "modern in
dustry" and 'problem' it receives his
approval. The western student is very
Independent. That makes him a de
lightful man to work with if he has
any interest in the subject matter.
But at present he is unable to con
ceive of the necessity for the analy
sis of fundamentals. Each 'problem'
is to be solved in his view by refer
ence to 'the facts' and by consulting
the experience of those who have ex
perimented. Well, that is scientific
method as far as it goes. But rigor
ous analysis and delving into the more
remote causes Is also necessary for
students.
College Man Not a Student
"But the modern college youth is
not a student. He is an apprentice or
a clubman. I do him an injustice; he
is those things most of the time. He
applies himself to the study of law or
medicine or engineering with com
mendable zeal. But 'cultural' courses,
those that some of us think train for
two mightily fundamental things liv
ing with yourself and with your fel
low men receive either mildly ex
pressed approval or open contempt.
Here we often hear students and a
few faculty men say that at least one
half of the benefits of a college course
are derived from associations with fel
low students and faculty outside the
clubs room. 'It's fifty-fifty,' is the way
they put it: Of course those things
are valuable I mean the things, what
ever they are, that you get by such
associations. But I wonder whether
it is worth while devoting over a mil
lion and a half a year and the time
of 200 underpaid men to providing the
environment for the acquisition f mix
ing ability' and a 'knowledge of men'?
"Co-education complicates the prob
lem. I don't think I do the average
college woman In our bi sexual insti
tutions an injustice when I say that
she regards college as a marriage
market primarily. That is especially
true of the daughters of the well-to-
do. Many, of course, are preparing
to teach or to do something else un
til the fairy prince in a Packard Twin
Six comes along. And I suppose that
for the attractive girl who lives in
the Bmall country town the college
market is the best that can be had.
Here again I must qualify. Many
women students show genuine intel
lectual interest and some of the best
that I have had in a relatively short
teaching experience have been women
students."
