PRICK F1VF CENTS 0 STUDENT COUNCIL HOLDS iST I Perd Bing Elected President, of Next Year's Council at Initial eMeting c-a HEPPERLY REPORTS ON TRIP TO CONVENTION Ccach Dawson Also Addresses New Executive Body; Many Plans for Next Year Ttle first mating of the new Stu dent Counril was held Tuesday even ing. A report was given by Asa Hep perly, Mr- Dawson talked and offi cers for next year were elected. HrM'i'ily. tne representative the Nebraska Council to the Mid Western Convention of Student Coun cils Mil at Lexington, Ky.. April 21 ,nd "2 gave an interesting report of tie meeting. He said that, although the Council was poung in Nebraska md there is much room for improve ment, tin1 activities of the Nebraska Council compared very favorably with those of other schools. This is es pecially true if the publications of Nebraska University. They some up to the stand. .rd of publications put out by any other University. The method of electing the Publication Board, however, might be improved. The point system which is used so successfully in many other schools is i good thing in that it keeps track of the work done by applicants Therefore the positions might be filled to better advantage if this knowledge is in the hands of the faculty, who awards these offices. The method of advertising the Uni versity might be more efficient and might be brought about by organiza tions, as the Glee Club and Univer sity Players in Nebraska. These methods are excellent in tfcemselves but the best w-ay to advertise the school is through the persons who are in that school. This is often in the hands of Phi Delta Chi, who when some student acquires distinc tion, is immediately telegraphed to that person's home town paper. Thus many are influenced by this personal contort vitli the University. The Student Council is not an or ganizntinn in charge of the discipline cf the school, but its duty is to teach tlie traditions to new- students and to show them what is expected of thorn. Tin's involves the problem of Cf mn -1 freshmen to wear green cars. S: me method should be insti ttited by which the freshman spirit would b instilled in them and they should he proud to wear them. The honor system was also dis cussed in the conference. The sue cess ;,nd benefits of this system were brought out. Coach Dawson also addressed the Studci. Council. He said that the only vay to accomplish anything is to lve a definite program worked out, and each member should stand "J plan of the Council and help to see i carried out.

The results are good." These were the words of O. J. Fer guson," Dean of the College of En gineering, at the freshmen engineers' Orientation lacture Monday evening, when they met for the last time this semester in room 20C, M. E. Hall. "I have just return. -d from a con ference in Chicago, where fifteen en gineering colleges were represented. The purpose of the meeting was to try and rearrange the engineering curriculum and see how it couldt be benefitted. In general, a man does well in an engineering course, goes to his employer with as good a tech nical education as could be expected of him. "The technical side of his educa tion is good, but he lacks such sub jects as English, Economics and lan guages. If any change comes In the engineering curriculum ' as a result of the conference, it is going to be (Continued on Page Three) Now That The "Reds" Have Started It, Who Will Be The Reds are doing it now!

Endorsement of the plan for stu dent directors of ach line of sport activity at the University, was made at a recent meeting of the university "N" Club.

LAST FROSH LECTURE Dean of Arts and Science College Reviews Year's Work For Freshmen The last freshman lecture of the season was delivered this week by Dean Buck of the University Arts and Sciences College. Dean Buck made a brief review of some thirty five lectures which had been given this year, their purpose and thei: importance. Also, he added a few words of advice as io the future course of the students in his college. "The University contains some four or five hundred professors, instruc tors and graduate students," Dean Buck said, "whose time is chiefly spent in research and original work. By that, it may be seen that the prin cipal, or not the least wcrk of an institution of this character is the acquiring cf knowledge and adding it to the world's supply. The instruction of students, that they may carry on the work and be able to live success fully, is of minor importance. If it were not for the universities, there would be no new- knowledge in the world; and if there were no new knowledge, the civilization of this uni verse would at least cease to pro gress and probably go backwards. "Studies that you do not like," de clared the Dean, "should either be dropped or examined as to the seat of the trcuble. Distasteful subjects do the student little or no good. Pleasure to Work Mind "There is no pleasure in the world equal to that of working the human mind. It is the greatest toy that the Supreme Being ever gave to nun. and beats any game of football all over the place. It is rarely utilized, however, and the p'tential pos-ihili-ties of the human mind have as yet never been fully utilize,!.

"I have a firm ooiniction that a student well-versed in the liberal at" winch this college attonls, win go out of school far better able o cope with the problems of life, than ihose who have merely gained a technical education.

T. C. Students in Annual Drill COMPANY G WINS FIRST PLACE IN COMPETITION Muddy Field and Rainclouds Make Good Drilling Al most Impossible Despite the threatening weather and the muddy condition of the Ne braska R. O. T. C. drill field, prac tically every cadet in the University was on hand yesterday to take part in the annual compet, which is one of the University's oldest traditions. A fair sized crowd viewed the man euvers of the different companies, the weather conitions keeping away a large number. The compet drill was a success from every viewpoint, Colonel Ameri cus Mitchell being especially satis fied with the showing made by the Nebraska cadets. In the company competition. Company G was de clared the winner of first place, with Companies L anw K winning second and third places respectively. The Pershing Rifles did not give their usual exhibition. Company G is captained by E. Grant Lantz and the members cf the winning company were favored by having blue ribbons pinned on them by their sponsor, Miss Vera Cleland. Company L is captained by Joseph Noh and those men received red rib bons from their sponsor. Miss Isabel Evans. Captain Donald R. Hewitt heads Company K with Miss Gladys Rozell sponsoring it. In the individual compet that was held, Albt-rt Olson carried off first honors wi,h Monroe Gleason taking second. Olson gave a very excellent exhibition of handling the army rifle and many of the older army men commended him on his ability to ex ecute the commands in such a mili tary manner. A large number of the cadets took part in this competition and there was seme difficulty in pick ing the final winner. Pn-vioup to the drilling, each com pany was inspected and the men do ing the inspection had few comments that were against the appearance of the R. O. T. C. unit. Following the individual compet, the entire retiment passed in renew of all the officers and the graduating class of U'22. The annual shirt tail parade, which comes the evening of Compet Day was carried out in a very picturesque i manner last evening by the entire R O. T. '. unit. Practically every man in the organization was on hand and for over an hour, "O" street was the scene of much excitement. Many of the students wore novel appearing eos'iuues which helped liven up the parade. Galli Curci a Loyal Ccrr.husker Following the celebration down town 'he entire parade of students were invited to Auditorium, where Galli Curci, the world famous singer, sang the Swanee River and finished up w ith the "Sc; .-let and Cream." Previous to this she tore tip her huge bouquet and threw all of the flowers to the students. After a great deal of cheering the entire aggregation dispersed very quietly.
