Nebraska rooters acquitted themselves well in the game with Kan
sas last Saturday. The cheering was better than usual, the cheer
leaders had more pep and the new Cornhusker chant was recited with
stirring effectiveness. Students are to be congratulated on their ac
tion in remaining after the game and baring their heads while they
sang "The Cornhusker." It was an act of courtesy and respect to a
victorious team.
A STUDY OF THE ABSTRACT
"Article II. The purpose of this organization shall be the re
lating of all extra-curricula activities to one another and to the
university as a whole; the creation of such other expressions of
student life as shall supplement those already established; the di
rection of such other matters of student interest as shall be ini
tiated by or referred to the Student Council. The council shall al
so act as a student court to investigate and make recommendations
in such cases of minor discipline as shall be referred to it by the
executive dean and the dean of women."
The above Is neither a problem in psychology nor an extract from
the Book of Revelations. It is Article 2 of the constitution of the pres
ent student council of the University of Nebraska and is the onl pail
of that constitution that limits, defines or explains the powers of that
body. A rather careful study of this remarkable article has left many
people, interested in the success of real student government, somewhat
at a loss to understand just what the council as now constituted, is
really authorized to do.
"The relating of all extra-curricula activities to one another anu
to the university." That is the purpose of the council, a boly which
might be so powerful that it controlled the university public here ::Xe
it does in many other schools where it has been so successfully tried
out. Just what are extra-curricula activities and how are they to be
related?
"The creation of such other expressions of student life as shall
supplement those already established." That could hardly be critisized
for its terseness at best. Analyze it for yourself. "The directiou u
such other matters of student interest as shall be initiated by or re
ferred to the Student Council." The council here is given an almost
tangible power of regulation over things it originates or which are re
ferred to it but what of matters which are for one reason or anotner
not referred to it?
The final sentence is reasonably open to a clear construction. Min
or cases of discipline can be handled by that body, only when the exec
utive dean or the dean of women refer them to the council. It is oi
course necessary to leave many matters of individual discipline to the
deans and the last provision can not be objected to.
But the delineation of powers which are given to the council in
this article, can they be interpreted to make good sense, sound rea
soning? Technically they may be correct, probably are, possibly ex
press just what the ones who drafted the constitution intended. There
was a well defined intention on the part of many connected with the
council to redraft the constitution the past summer but it was not done.
We do not know nor care particularly who wrote that Article 2. It
is a masterpiece of evasiveness and abstract words. If the student
council is to take its proper place in the university public it should be
backed by a Bill of Rights that gives a straight forward outline of what
it can and what it can not do.
THE NEW EDUCATION.
A new note is making itself felt in the system of university edu
cation. The standardized, boxed and crated type of knowledge form
erly handed out to students to swallow and forget is gradually disap
pearing for the unbound type which the students must capture, hog-tie
and stow away mentally only after a deliberate process of elimination
and discrimination.
la other words the student is assuming his right as a thinking
individual and the grains scattered in the classroom by the instructor
are not accepted as absolute without investigation and amplification,
except perhaps in certain sciences where fjmulas have been
generally accepted as true. The new type of instructoi is pleased
when he finds his class is unable to reach an agreement on a propo
sition, for it Indicates the individuality of its members, &ud l the re
flection of students wbo are learning the process of thinking rather
than memorizing. The Pail Kansan.

To the Editor of the Nebraskan. -It
was with considerable disgust 'hat
I read i tne columns of the Pri.j
traskan ;";ie clipping from tho Iowa
Slate SuJfnt relative tioament
received by cur rooters on tne Nebras
ka field the day of the Ames-Nebraska
game.
I happened to be at the game. h,ii
in a position to see uie start oi -..m
rush of the Nebraska rooters upon
the field and know the reason there
for. It was in no way malicious, but
the permission to go upon the field
was granted by the cheer leaders on
the request of a number of the stu
dents. Had the Ames rooters contin
ued In their snake dance as ihey start
ed, I don't think that there would have
been any clash, but the momenc thf
Nebraska rooters commenced to e
upon the field they huddled together
as tho they were expecting a scrap,
and really Invited the congregation of
the Nebraska rooters about them
I can bee nothing particularly dis
courteous in this, and the matter
should have been taken by the Ames
rooters in the light it was intended.
Furthermore, I don't think that they
are In a position to say anything what
ever. One of the most discourteous things
that I have seen in a number of years
was enacted by the Ames hand. When
they came upon the field the Nebraska
band very courteously allowed them to
finish their piece of music before tney
started one. The Ames band ob
served no such courtesy, and the
crowning act of it all was when (he
Nebraska band, standing before the
south bleachers playing America, md
every Nebraska rooter in that sec
tion was standing with uncovered
head, the Ames band blaring out some
piece of rag time passed between the
band and the bleachers. This to mv
mind was not only very discourteous
but unpatriotic, and the man In the
overseas uniform who was with the
Ames band, and directing the roof
ing should have Vncwn better than n
allow such a .hing to happen.
I think that an apology is due the
student body of Nebraska both for the
article in the Iowa State Student and
this act of discourtesy by the visiuu
band.
Cordially yours,
J. LLOYD McMASTER.
