Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln. Nebraska, as second class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
A student council would have for its object, the provision of an
effective means of communication between the undergraduate body and
University authorities, the maintenanceand interpretation of Nebraska
traditions, and a general supervision over student activities, organiza
tions, traditions, customs, and conduct of the students in general.
This would be en organization of the students, and most decidedly
for the students. It would create a renewed interest in student activi
ties and rejuvenate the declining interest and spirit of Nebraska
students.
Every student at Nebraska receives some benefit from activities.
Only a few contribute for the support of these activities. For ex
ample, The Drily Nebraskan has about five hundred campus subscrib
ers, and about fifteen hundred readers.
If every student should support student activities, no one would
receive benefit from them without paying for them. The proposed
system is that all pay and all receive benefit from the blanket tax.
The argument that it might prove a violation of private rights,
may be answered to the effect that if any student will show that he
cannot afford to pay the fee, he will be excused. This is only fair in
such an institution as this is, democratic and supported by the state.
Questionaires on the single tax were sent out to various schools
last spring, and nearly every school reported that the, single tax in
creased student interest. Another remarkable thing was the fact that
no schools indicated a tendency to abandon the system, and were ever
considering Increasing the amount to cover other activities.
Five thousand men and women will come to Lincoln this week
to attend the sixteenth annual meeting of the Nebraska State Agricul
tural associations at the University farm.
The different agricultural associations throughout the state send
specialists to this meeting where the professors at the farm lecture
to them and give them the benefit of the scientific experiments they
have made under the most modern conditions. Classes are excused
but the students are required to attend the lectures.
Every subject of interest to the farmer will be touched upon
from the farm loan law and the varieties of fruit for the home orchard
and the garden to the newest approved method of canning fruit and
raising future presidents.
It is one of the biggest meetings of the kind held in the country
and the benefit derived is priceless. It is an opportunity to hear the
discussion of subjects of the greatest Importance, and anyone would be
greatly benefited if they should attend.
