,i mass meeting two weeks ago, tho
student body today, will vole whether
or not they desire to keep the Student
Council in force. Tho voting will tako
place in Social Science 107 and the

On March 1 a mass meeting was
ct'lli'd by President. Metxgar of tho
Student Council. At this meeting
made possible through tho signing of a
petition, a proposal was made to abol
ish the Student Council.
During the two weeks since the
meeting was held, a great deal of in
terest has become evident among the
factins n the campus. Several meet
ings f different organizations have
been held and the matter discussed.
Student opinions, publicly expresed
through the student ouinion column of
the Daily Nebraskan, have increased
the interest in this election.
BIG ROCK ON
CAMPUS IS A
NATIONAL CURIOSITY
Of course you have seen the big
rock on the campus, but have you
ever stopped to consider why it is
there and where it came from. It
may serve as a convenient seat for
lovers and for the weary, but it is
one of the most notable relics in the
state. This rock was brought from
Hiirington, Nebraska, by the class of
1892. If you will notice the rock you
can plainly see that it has been picked
and carved by the hand of man. The
imprint of a bare foot is cut into the
surface half an inch deep. A cross
is deeply cut near the center of the
top while around the entire surface
are carved curious cryptographs. The
Creek letters, Delta, Omega and Chi.
ran be made out Others resemble
Chinese inscriptions. No one thus
far has been able to decipher these
inscriptions. It is not probable that
this carving was done in Nebraska.
If it were, to decipher it would not
be such a difficult task. Then, too,
there would be some evidence of the
work near where the rock once
I'f.Med. This work would require
many pieces of rock and bits of rock
would have been worn away. The
Miil near the rock has been analyzed
and no trace of any material like the
rock has been found. No similar
markings have ever been found on
any other rocks in Nebraska.
About twenty miles southwest of
Boston, Mass., there is a rock called
"I'iglitin Writing Rock." Much has
bi en written about this rock. It was
discovered in 1630 and since then
hundreds of scientists have been
puzzled over tho inscriptions on it.
Many of the characters on the Dightin
nock arc similar to those on our
rock. The characters on Dightin
Rock could not have been cut while
tile rock was in its present place as
it is below.tide and is covered with
water except for about three hours a
day.
These boulders are "drift pebbles"
brought to the United States in 'the
drift by a great glacier which covered
the northern part of the earth many
centuries ago.
