IS THE SINGLE TAX JUST?
The tentative plan for th-a allot
ment of the single tax has been an
nounced by the Student Council, and
for a lump sum of $15.00, each stu
dent will receive an athletic ticket,
a Cornhusker, the Daily Nebraskan,
Awgwan and contribute to the sup
port of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W.
C. A., Student Council, W. S. G. A.,
Glee Club and also other miscellan
eous causes.
To bar drives and solicitations
from the campus is the avowed pur
pose of the single tax. That is a
worthy object. But whether or not
this desired result will be effected
is more than we pretend to be able
to forecast.
Another feature that causes us to
wonder as to the ultimate success of
the proposal is the optional charac
ter of the plan. It might be that
if the single tax were compulsory
upon every student in the University
it would provide enough funds for
all the activities that are embraced.
. But the question that arises is,
would this be just to each and every
student in the University? Expon
ents of the plan saythat all the ac
tivities that are included are worth
while and should be supported by all
students. Perhaps they should. But
it is questionable whether every ac
tivity in the University deserves the
unanimous support of the students.
Activities are becoming specialized.
What appeals to one student may
mean nothing to another, and there
fore would not deserve any financial
support.
Of course, if this plan were
adopted and made compulsory to
every student the same as tui
tion fees, then there would no
doubt be a considerable saving to
all. But his would necessitate a
certain number of students con
tributing to activities in which they
have not the slight?st interest.
Another question that arises is,
can the athletic department afford
to go into this agreement and take
the chance of a loss in income. The
stadium pledges are not being met.
A large percentage are not keeping
these up, and this repudiation of
pledges has involved the Nebraska
Memorial Association in financial
difficulties. The athletic department
can hardly afford to gamble. They
must be sure of their income.
University authorities are very
much in the dark as to what attitude
the Board of Regents will take on
this question, but the general opin
ion is that the board will not adopt
the single tax as compulsory to en
trance and place it on the same
basis as tuition fees.
However, if a large enough num
ber of students are in favor of the
single tax, it will be placed in ef
fect by the Student Council.

shocked any good and fearful New
Englander who might be teaching
in an institution in New York. Yet
he was put out of the class for hav
ing ideas which were too far ad
vanced, for endeavoring to get at
the fundamentals of life, for trying
to risa above the lowly plane of
American thought to the lofty level
of Greek philosophy. And this in
an institution of learning!
Again we say, in the name of
men call education?

THE PENALTY FOR THINKING.
(Duly Cardinal)
A short time ago the son of the
president of Rochester university
was put out of a class in ethics at
that institution for having "too far
advanced ideas." The young man
is reported to have said he was an
anarchist, that he did not believe
in law because law meant forcing
reople to do what they ought to do
of their own accord, that he was an
atheist, an iconoclast; he was put
out for arguing with the instructor
on everything which the wise man
taught. What else the young man
in question may have said or done
is not generally known. He may have
solved problems which the jsjages
have never solved and which the in
tractor was afraid to give out; he
may have been disagreeably blat
ant, said things which may have

Don't give a cap
u it
too much rope
Just when you're hurrying the most
zip! and away goes that shaving
cream cap. The new cap on Williams
ends the nuisance forever. It's hinged
on and can't get lost.
In shaving, too, Williams has just as noticeable im
provements: Williams lather is hesvier and more closely
woven. It holds the water in against the beard. Result:
quicker softening. Williams lather lubricates no irri
tating friction. Last, Williams is decidedly helpful to the
skin. It keeps your face comfortable no matter how
heavy your beard and how tender your skin. There's
no coloring matter in Williams it is a natural vhite,
absolute y pure. Say " Williams Hinge-Cap" to your dealer.
