Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln. Nebraska, as second class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March J, 1879.
USING THE PARING KNIFE
The legislature yesterday killed cet tain of the recommendations of
the board of regents for appropriations for the State University, among
them an item of $200,000 for an increase in salaries of the faculty
members. Other plans for expansion of the University will have to be
altered because of trimming in the general appropriation bill, the
"economy" program seeming to be most popular with the sUte law
makers at present.
Very probable it is that the faculty should have the increase in
salary, and that the other recommendations of the regents for appro
priations if adopted would do much toward making this a better schooL
The legislators, however, are probably thinking of the people back
home who appreciate no showing quite so much as that which appears
a saving of the dollar, and it is not hard to account for the trimming
of the appropriation bill when this is remembered. A cut must be
made somewhere, and the University has to stand its share of the
saving.
The University of Minnesota has recently gone through a similar
experience. A Minneapolis daily newspaper recently printed an indict
ment of the legislature for not granting salary increases, and listed
seventeen strong faculty men who went to other cshools for higher
pay. Among them was Dean Woods of the college of agriculture, a
former Nebraskan. Nebraska Is not the only school whose wishes in
the appropriation bills have been doomed to some measure of disap
pointment. The regents propose, but the legislature disposes. Both are acting
from conscientious motives. It seems unfortunate that the University
cannot get all its friends desire. It will, however, continue to grow
and prosper.
WHAT DO YOU TALK ABOUT?
Perhaps because of the doses of higher education and "heavy"
things the student gets in his classes each day. he has a tendency, in
the relief of the association with his fellow outside of the class room,
to seek in chaff and light gossip, a mental relaxation, and, to use a
phrase in common parlance, he is wont to talk a lot without saying
anything. Table talk at boarding houses is very apt to be concerned
principally with sharp-edged personalities or the state of the weather.
One can get a great deal of pleasure out of an intimate friendship
if he can find time for an intei change of virile ideas which will lead to
new and interesting fields of thought. Often it may behoove one to
play the listener. Both the speaker and the receiver of the new
thought can get a lot of good out of ten or fifteen minutes of serious
discussion of the things that man in his spiritual nature is most inter
ested in.
A few years ago a game used to be played at parties, where for
five minutes one talked on a given subject with one partner, and then,
when the bell rang, found another partner and talked on something
else. It might be a profitable thing to revive this old pastime, and
ring a bell now and then on certain lines of conversation, carrying it
for a given epac-e of time into deeper channels.
The students at Nebraska are studying everything from under the
sun, almost, but seem lo have a certain shyness in ever revealing in
anything they say that they have thoughts beyond the next party date.
THE SPRING STYLES
The windows downtown are full of them now, brilliantly colored.
Joyously prophetic spring hats and suits. The fair ones are not alone
In the revels of window chopping, for the new hats and ties and shirts
of the men are occupying a place in the public vision as prominent as
the suits and hats and waietj of the women.
A good Indicator of the temperament of the average man or woman
is the extent with which he lets his enthusiasm over the new modes
get the better of bis Judgment and calmer reason.

Student Council At Penn. State Has
Class And College Representatives
In reply to the editorial for sugges
tions on student government the fol
lowing description of the student gov
eminent as organized at the Pennsyl
vania state college is submitted:
The student council of Penn State is
made up on a class basis, the class
officers being elected for a period of
one year to insure more permanency,
greater stability, greater efficiency in
their duties, and greater class spirit;
consequently greater college spiriL
The members of this student council
are elected by their classes and the
number is apportioned in direct ratio
to the number of students enrolled in
the different colleges.
The senior representation consists
of the senior class president who acts
as the chairman of the student coun
cil, six men elected from the agricul
tural college, six men from the col
lege of engineering, one from the
liberal arts college, one from the col
lege of mines and metullargy. and one
from the college of natural science.
The Junior representation consists
of the Junior class president, three
men from the agricultural college,
three from the college of engineering.
one from the college of liberal arts.
one from the college of mines, and one
from the college of natural science.
The sophomore representation con
sists of the sophomore class president,
and a member elected at large from
their class.
The freshman representation con
sists of their class president
The council passes on all questions
affecting student government, origin
ates and assists in the execution of
college customs and refers the more
important steps to the two upper
classes for ratification.
The student board consists of mem
bers of the student council elected by
that body according to class. Only
the three upper classes are represent
ed in this. It is the duty of this
body to discuss minor questions rela
tive to student government which are
later presented to the student council.
In addition this body tries all cases of
infringment on the honor system and
recommends suspension or expulsion.
The student tribunal is a body con
sisting of three seniors, four juniors.
and five sophomores which tries all
cases of infringment of college rules
and customs and interprets all col
lege customs.
These bodies as described act as a
medium between the few matters of
concern to the faculty, and the more
powerful board of trustees (regents
here). To all intents and purposes it
has made greater college spirit for
which Penn State is known in the
east, greater democracy, and a more
well balanced action.
