A CALL TO NEBRASKA MEN
The scarcity of candidates for the track team is not only regretta
ble because it is such convincing proof of the lack of interest of
Nebraska University men in one of the finest forms of athletics, but
it gives those who oppose suggestions for a new athletic field and new
gymnasium some grounds for their stand. Football is but one of the
1niversity sports, and it will be hard to get an adequate, athletic
held until University men show that they are as enthusiastic for other
forms of sport.
It is not laziness that keeps the Nebraska men from working out
for the track team. It is rather that they are too much absorbed in
other affairs, and are not thinking of the importance of track work, or
the fun they could get from trying for the track team.
Coach Stewart says that nine out of ten men who work faithfully
in track can be placed in their proper events and can make a letter.
The athletic board is most generous in its offer of medals, and its
program of meets is most attractive.
Nebraska men are being put to the test in this. The situation wilt
be discussed at a track meeting tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. Five
hundred men ought to be at that meeting. A half of that number
ought to be in daily track practice on the athletic field.
Nebraska must no longer be down at the bottom of Missouri valley
colleges in track athletics.
THE SPRING VACATION
Spring vacation is but a week away, and it is time to begin to plan
for it now.
A certain number of students there will be who will be forced to
make up back work. Let it be hoped that they get even with the world
and do not drop behind again.
For the rest, the problem remains of what to do with the spare
time. The Nebraskan has the suggestion that the thing to do is to
spend that time, gloriously, in picnics, tramps, bikes, baseball, tennis,
anything to get out in the open air and play.
The student who spends the time poring over a novel or magazines,
or at movies, doesn't deserve the vacation. Put it to account by doing
something for youur health, and resolve to come back to school in the
best of physical condition.
THAT CORNHUSKER SECTION
The Cornhusker staff is to be congratulated on its decision not to
conduct its proposed election for a girl's section in the annual. The
sales campaign can now be held on the merits of the book.
It is to be regretted that the editor still thinks it necessary to have
the proposed section, but no one will quarrel with him on his decision,
nor will there now be any unpleasant features connected with the
selection.
The Nebraskan hopes that every student in the University will
subscribe for the Cornhusker. Good or bad, it is the year book of your
college days, and something that you will be glad to treasure. ItejKjrts
from the Cornhusker office indicate that the 1917 annual is going to be
worth having.
FORUM
The Student Council Plan
To the Editor of The Daily Ne
braskan: Answers to the queries
in The Daily Ncbdaskau concerning
the Student Council.
1. The council, according to my
opinion should consist of twenty
members, or about twenty, not too
large a body but liirjie enough to
reprt-ent the studi-nt body from
every phase of student activities.
2 There shall not be a separate
council fur the co-eds and the men
but all work toeethcr giving the
council jiower to divide some of
the work which is of less importance.
C. Members of the council are to
be: The class presidents of th
first Sftuester giving the two lower
classes, sophoiuon' and freshmen
classes, only a voice in the council
and not a vote to enable the presi
dents of the respective classes to
report to their classes.
All departmental organizations and
clubs, the president of the respective
club is to be the member on the
council.
Two faculty members and above
all the two deans, Iean Mary Gra
ham and Dean Karl Kngberg.
The maximum term of membership
to be two years excepting the two
deans whose term is permanent.
4. Th council is only to have
delegated power of recommendation
to the faculty.
5. The function of the council
shall he to control students' affair
in general. A STUDENT.

Pres. W. E. Stone Opens
Council Conference
President Stone in opening the
Conference of Student Councils at
Purdue, said:
'Two features of student life are
characteristic of the present day.
One of these Is the multiplicity of
student activities. It is amazing to
learn of the great ncmber of organ
izations and enterprises carried on
bv students outside of their studies
and without a better knowledge of
these one jumps to the conclusion
that they must be destructive of
educational alms. A closer study
shows, however, that these are for
the main part only normal mani
festations of the energy and ambi
tions of youth. Through these chan
nels the college students find their
recreation, the cultivation of their
nnrfioiiinr tnlents and incidentally
j most valuable experience in the
preparation tor many oi me nuano
of life. Such activities are not to
be repressed but, there is danger,
unless there is some supervision or
regulation, of their running to ex
cess. They have their proper place
in the life of young men and women.
Thirty years ago a characteristic
of college life was the disposition
of students to engage in lawless
pranks and depredations. These
have now given place to the organ
ization of stodent enterprises of a
more wholesome and in most cases
highly useful character. The change
has been greatly for the better.
"The other notable tendency in
college life is toward self-government.
The function of the faculty
more end more recedes to the ad
ministration of instruction and of
the duties connected therewith which
must always remain in their hands.
More and more the regulation of
students agairs and even of their
conduct Is being placed in their
hands. This is a most healthful
tnd desirable development. The
student body is a democracy in
miniature affording splendid oppor
tunities for lessons in self-government.
The co-ordination of student
efforts, the regulation of customs and
traditions and the promotion of con
structive movements such as the
honor system, are all legitimate
phases of self-government. Their
ultimate success depends upon the
wisdom and poise of student leaders
backed by student sentiment. No
movement for self-government will
succeed until the student body
realizes its full significance and is
willing to samrifice individual de
sires and opinions for the good of
the whole. Will not be brought
about by self-imposed legislation but
by growth from within of a real
desire to accomplish better things
through organization and cultivation
of public sentiment. Faculties will
be only too ready to turn over to
student bodies the responsibility of
regulating theid affairs, just as rapid
ly as they demonstrate their ability
to assume their responsibility."

Once
Upon a time
There was a
Foolish virgin who
Envied her sisters
All about her.
Their apparel was
More costly than hers
And far more colorful.
And the foolish little virgin
Wanted, oh so much,
Some clothes like
The ones that were
All around her
In the classrooms
And on the campus
So, finally, quieting
The conscience and
Unheedful of her purse
She sallied forth.
To buy as others had bought.
And when she was through.
She was very beautiful
As to fashion
And struck envy In
The hearts of all.

And she forgot too
The little sisters around her
Who could not
Have what she had
And so, as she
Walked about
From day to day
She struck discord
And envy into
Their hearts
And she lost
Those friends

Disappointed them
And had shown
Once again

Abnormal love of dress
