VettaCirculation Manager AN OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Nebraskan purposes, beginning with its Thursday issue, to include in its columns an official bulletin for notices from university authorities to members of the fa culty and from members of the fa culty to students. The University authorities have informally approved the action and will cooperate by us ing the bulletin for all official no tices. Tht object of The Nebraskan in this innovation is to render a more effective service to the faculty and student body. With this system, many notices that are now scattered on bulletin boards over the campus or sent through the mails will be el iminated. The official communica tions of the University will be brought together in a systematic and compact form. Not only will this be more satisfactory to all concerned, but it is thought that considerable expense will be saved the University in the elimination of the old system. Most universities have some such department in the student newspaper. The Minnesota Daily carries each day a long list of notices, which tell of registration rules, special examina tions, entrance examinations, special lectures, concerts, class changes, openings for scholarships, program corections, absences of instructors, requirements for physical education, and many other things too numerous to be listed here. All students and faculty members are responsible for what appears in this column and it is one of the most read and most important departments in the paper. The Nebraskan hopes to make its official daily bulletin as important and efficient. It there fore invites the cooperation of al' faculty members, for without this it cannot succeed. THE AMENDMENT An amendment to the constitution of the Inter-fraternity Council, which provides for the establishing of an executive board to enforce rules, was introduced at the meeting of the Council Sunday, The six members of the board are to be alumni who have ben out of school at least five years, and they are to be selected by a vote of the council after the nominations have been made by a committee of three. As originally proposed, this board would have the power to pass rules; but the Council voted to leave all legislative power with the Council itself. The execu tive committee, in fact, is a court, to try violators of the rules and to set the penalties. The new plan, which will consider ably change the functioning of the Council and make it practically a legislative body, is really of tremen dous importance to fraternity men. The plan, we think, is an excellent one and sems to be the only method by which the Council can be made efficient. In the past the Council has solemnly passed rules and promptly forgotten them, chiefly be cause there was no machinery for the punishment of the offenders. Under this plan the rules the Council pass es will be very much alive and. the fraternities will be required to ob serve them. There were a number of points raised at the meeting that are of interest. Some members feared that th executive council, composed en tirely of alumni, might drift too far from the student's viewpoint. The reply to this was that the committee was chiefly a court, and that active punitive action against their own or other fraternities embarrassing. Another had to do with the nomi nation of committee members. The members," according to the amend ment, are to be nominated by a com mittee of three to be composed of the chairman (a faculty member) the vice chairman (an alumni repre sentative), and an active member. Two names are to be Submitted for each office. Objections were raised to this on the ground that the men submitted might not be acceptable and that nominations from the floor should also be permitted. In reply to this it was said that while popular men might be nominated from the floor and elected, the chief require ment for the committee members would he interest and a willingness, to (!. tbe work characterises not f'tc:-.:,r:!y those cf popular men. The Nebraskan would wolcomf discussion on any point which may be of interest and believes that the while matter is of sufficient importance to warrant considerable thought. The amendment, as it is presented, seems to us to be all that could be asked. It will offer a means of en forcing rushing rules, the limitation of probation weeks, and other things sorely needed by fraternities if they are to withstand the criticism that is now impending. It will give the Council its first businesslike govern ment. At the next meeting, after the chapters have expressed their opinions, the members of the Council will vote on the amendment. The Nebraskan hopes the amendment will be passed unanimously. THE PURPOSE One of the most encouraging ten dencies to be seen in college circles is the increasing desire of students to inquire into the purpose of their college training and study the ob jacts of the various courses. When Albert Brilt, former New York mag nzine editor, chose as the subject for his inaugural address as president of Knox College, "What is the good of a college education?" he had one of the livest and most interesting sub jects in the educational world. President Britt pointed out that the primary aim of a cultural college should be to enable human beings to live interestingly, lively, usefully, on the highest plane of which they are capable. An institution which successfully attains these goals serves the needs of the age, and its continu ance is worth striving for in face of growing commercialism as advan ced by vocational institutions. Speaking of the relation betwen the cultural and the vocational schools, he declared: "The fields of the two are separate; to learn to make a living or to learn to live ex presses the difference between them. Rightly applied there is no conflict." Instead of highly specialized ex perts in one particular field, the new Knox president thinks it is the func tion of the cultural college to turn out graduates in every line of thought. Carrying out this idea he would eliminate over emphasis on de partments and break down the par titions separating one course from another. The value of a course, he believes, is not how many experts it can turn out, but how wide a know ledge it can impart. AN EARLY SPRING The sporting writers report that spring football practice has already started at the University of Illinois. The squad is said to be working al ready on a basis of one hour of the oretical instruction a week and two hours of indoor practice. The early start is said to be necess ary because conference football authorities have decided that the new agreement of Big Ten coaches limit ing the actual time of practice to an hour and a half during the foot ball season as well as eliminating the evening skull practice. It won't be long until all the Big Ten schools will have spring practice under way, the reporters say. This attempt to evade a rule limit ing the time that can be devoted to football should be frowned upon by all college authorities. The need of a limit of some kind is so great that proper enforcement of such rules is imperative. If no such limitation on the amount of time devoted to football can be successfully imposed, the hu morists' description of the modern college will soon be more truth than fun. Few really intelligent students will care to play football if its de mands become so heavy that schol astic work must be slightly any more slightly than is now necessary.

OUR STORY The rent-a-Ford combination came out of their cavern of silence Sun day, and finding the sunshine delic iously warm, decided that the student body should receive tidings which would clear the darkness away from the campus and allow the light of understanding to penetrate. They, therefore, concocted a sweet story, which told of the unnecessary pub licity we had given an action which was not intended to increase our expenses, and which was not, in ef fect, an increase in rates. We sup pose they must have emphasized that term "IN EFFECT. In retort It suffices to say that we are the individuals who are paying for the rental of cars, being on the demand end, and we would certainly notice a decidedly greater hole in our pocketbooks were we to rent cars ac cording to the new rates. We wish to say also that the rent-a-Ford com bination has failed to penetrate the problem as far as we have. Our so cial system, because it is one of in dividual groups, and because it has grown away from the old system in which parties were splendid, jovial affairs, by which acquaintanceship was made a more glorious thing in the realm of student life; because of this it has been laughed at by city people. We are conscious of the fact and we are absolutely ready to take a step right now in the direction of setting the thing on a real basis. Every student in the university o5 Nebraska is anxious to get back to the old conditions as far as our so cial development is concerned. We are not the foolish, unsound, non thinking individuals that a' great share of the elderly world declare us to be. We want the congeniality of democratic friendship, we wish to see the social horizon around the univer sity just as colorful as the clean tew acv sas 11 i ii mrm THE DAILY NEBRASKAN bouyancy of youth can make it. We came down to this democratic school for two things; to discipline our minds with the intention of enlarging our while vision of life and to de velop our personality and character. Every man and girl in this university has the right to the opportunity for self-development. They have the right to protest if, In a democratic institution, the expense of the social system has become so great that they can no longer indulge in the things which make for development. And they have the right to ask that the system be changed, and to change it if they will. That is a part of our story. We want to make our social life one which is attractive to every fellow and girl and to you, Rent-a-Ford combination, who has made this im possible by your late action, we send our message. Dating in your cars, we have tended to isolate ourselves in groups at parties. We are now going back to the good old times when most everyone was glad to re strain clannishness and make the party a jolly success; we are going back to the time when people used to know each other in this university well enough to call a great number of fellows and girls "friends." That's our program and part of it is WALK ING. Can you deny that it is all right. E. F. D. On The Air University Studio broadcasting over KFAB (340.7) Tuesday, Feb. 23 9:30 to 9:55 a. m.
