THE REASON FOR THE STUDENT COUNCIL
The chairman of the student council charter commission has giwn
in another place in this paper, some of the things that the chartef
commission expects of the student council, which is to be voted upon
tomorrow. The whole thought cf the students and faculty members
who drew up the plan was to provide some means for the development
of student responsibility in managing their own affairs, by creating a
representative body that would command thf respect of the students,
and exist for the purpose cf doing the will of the student body, and
for no other reason.
The plan that has been proposed is not expected to be kept with
out change throughout the years that come. It will develop, even as
the constitution of the United States has developed, by the wisdom and
experience rf the students who are members, and of the student body
that is reprented on the council. The scope of the council's activi
ties can be enlarged or restricted as experience teaches is necessary.
The plan, providing for the selection of representatives from the
different colleges, is a direct appeal to the pride of the students to
chose the most able people in their colh ge to represent them. Clique3
will be eliminated by making the nominations in open mass meeting,
there being no limit on nominations at first, and by elections at large
before the entire student body, in the case of the seniors, or before the
entire enrollment of the college, in the case of the juniors.
The council is e xpee'ed to lead to a development of the honor
system, it will have charge of the single tax. it will take up the work
for a student union, it will assume a control over general student ac
tivities; in short, it will take over the supervision of strictly student
affairs, a supervision now in the hands of the faculty for lack of a
representative student body to erercise the control.
If the responsibilities of University citizenship mean much to the
students at Nebraska, if the opportunity for self-government, for ex
pression of studrnt ideals, appeals to them, they will vote for the
student council tomorrow. The polls are open from 9 to 12 and from
2 to 5, at the west entrance of Memorial hall.
It is a call to real Comhuskers.
THE 1917 CORNHUSKER
There is always more or less of an element of disappointment
when the Oorahui-ker conies out. The s:ud-n;s have awaited it long.
is coming out is dt-layd. when it finally appvirs one looks through
it. find;: that it is much the same old thing, ani closes it with a feel
ing that there is something lacking.
The 1917 Cornhusker escapes this to a certain extent. A number
of feature of the book are very good, and on the whole it is as good
perhaps as any that has been issued. Students who have come in
close contact with Professor Fogg mill appreciate the dedication to
him. The really fine views of the campus are revealing to those stu
dents who are to went to complain because our University is lacking
in beauty.
This will probably be the last year that a "beauty section" will
appear in a Nebraska book. It was merely a following after similar
sections in other college annuals, and Nebraska girls have repeatedlv
stated their disapproval of it. Deprived of its advertising features it
has little to make the staff even want to retain it.
The s'udent !fe section shows that colleee editors still have dif
ficulty in di.- c-rn;ie between the really humorous and the inane.
Because the 1917 Cornhusker. however, has succeeded in repre
senting the different phases of campus life and student activity, it
will remain a book of pleasant reminiscence, more especially when,
as Chancellor Avery has poimed out in his foreword, now that war
has come, we "look at the stu1fnts' faces through tears."
