THE ACID TEST
"1 am not goini to o;e aain as
long as I am in school." Tli.s clianc
reuiark heaju ou the campus may ap
pear at first of iiu signnv i.uce, uu
we believe the feeling 01 digus-i
wliich it implies is common among a
greui many siudvnis. is the state
nu-nt justified? Hae bad po.itic
made ii useless to ca.- one's vote ai
elections?
Certainly the student council elec
tion sliouid be beyond pontics. There
are lit spoils to be uivi.i.d, and in
Sw.ad of being a great honor or ad
vantage, it means an expenditure 01
liniij and energy and peihapo a politi
cal death to the kind of nu mber, 'vIa,
is needed to place the council in ta :
position it should occupy.
Every' candidate should be asKeo,
not "What political faction uo you be
long to?", but "Why are you ruuning
for student council?" Does me cue
dielale siu.-ere-ly wish to . (JeM
ciaiic governmm lake its piacv above:
all campus organizations, or dot lie
favor ths rule of an org.iuizi'ii mi
nority, with its two contending fac
tions and its spoils system? U i.j
willing to sacrifice Unit to ...'-;Ml
every council meting, or v ill h-.-, one
elected, sit back and lit George do
it?" Is he willing to give i:uuc.5t
biaiu sweat without the lewaid of a
printed line, or will he do ju.-t euoug
to keep his name before the public .'
Is he willing to take, il mcessaiy, the
brunt of adverse public opinion, or
will lie change to s&tiM'y ue wh)j.-

constitute the acid test to be :j piitJ
to Uia prospective members of tue
siudeut council.
CURFEW LAW A PUZZLER
The Chicago chief of police i ;.j de
nounced curfews in gcinral aaJ .t
curfew for the Windy City, in panic
ular. "Women's styles make it im
possible," he says. The law baii';
boys and girts under sixt.en years of
age recently went into effect in th.
Chicago metropolis, hu it h.ln'.
mean anything.
It U Mrongly contended by the po
licemen that the law could n.4 be en
forced even if they wen- inclined to
en'orce iL "How's a policeman eo.nf
to enforce that fool law with womei
of 60 dressing like girls of 16?" a.-ked
th .chief. "It might have bet a all
right back in the old days whin tUo
girls under sixteen wore short skirts
possibly went barefooted, but look
at 'em today they all look alike,
young and old. And it is almost as
bad with the boys. Slrteen-year-rld
boys? I haven't seen one in years.
Why, they stop wearing knee breeches
when they reach twelve, and at six
teen, well, pome of them are 40. En
force that ordinance? Not me."
Such Is the Twntleth century!
IT'S HARD TO GIVE IT UP

there was a bill in.roducvd in tho leg

with certain factions that wanted

Chancellor explained in his modsagu
siudeuis Tuesday, a sort of gouf.le
man's agreement exists between tn.
Senate and tho Board of Regents n ii
to increase tees during the bienuiuu
except necessary laboratory fees, nd
of course it appears on the surface,
(auhougli it is not true in practice)
that a single tax would be more fees
i.-vked onto the registration slips
each semester.
the teiiate complied with the Hc
gents' request to restore to the l.Tn'
versity a quarter of a million dollais
which had been cut off from live esti
malt s by ihe house; then the Regents
complied with the senate's request to
reduce fees for the benefit of the self
supporting students. To advocate the
compulsory single tax now means ..0
ilie senate only the increasing of Uul
versity fees again, although in realitv
it is only another way, and a cheaper
i n. , for students to pay lor their ath
ktic tickets, Dailv Nebiaskan and
Cornhusker.
We presume that a voluntary single
tax would not be antagonistic to tlu
legislature, but the question looms:
"Would it work?" We believe vh.it
.-.uch a system would almost be worse
than the present plan of conduciiug
drives and campaigns.
Obstacles have presented ihenisel.es

going on.

Kor thee I grieve.
Badly thy top is torn, frayed arc thy

Arid woe is thine.

NOT WHOLLY AN ILL WIND
We agree with tne editor who L
of the opinion that the present high
coet of books will not be without ad
vantage to this country if It will in
duce people to buy more carefully eot
that they cannot buy so lavishly. Trie
same amount of money formerly ex
pended for ten volumes of small valu

only one or two books of high value.
And even if some people are un
able to buy any books at all, tLere
may be advantages In the situation.
