A WORKING COUNCIL
The report of the first meeting; of
the 1920 Student Council which ap
peared in The Daily Nebraskan yes
terday was both surprising and en
couraging. If we are to belive what
we read (and we would like to) Ne
braska is at last to have a working
Student Council.
The Student Council has been the
subject of as much just criticism as
anything on the campus in the last
few years. The Councils of the past
have had no power, they have made
no real effort to get power. They
have been merely something to b
elected to whereby one could get his
name in the Nebraskan and possibly
his picture in the Cornhusker.
There has been so much that the
Council could do and should do that
. this lack of interest and lack of work
has seemed all the more disgusUng
to the University public.
In previous years the Council has
started out the term with a big noise
about how much it was going to do
but without exception this ardor has
waned and within a month most of
the students have forgotten that
there is a Student Council which is
supposed to be their representative
body.
UUt bills jcal Vll muui v but;
Council seems to be a little more
genuine. They start out as if they
meant real business. Committees have
been appointed and petitions and
rules already passed. This Council
has already done more than most of
them have done during the whole
year.
Thn Council has taken under its
consideration some very good prob
lems. In the first place it has been
decided to keep secret the identity of
the Honorary Colonel until the night
of the Military Ball. While this is not
of vital importance it is nevertheless
a step in the right direction.
Strict enforcement of the election
laws is promised by the Council. Thir
is extremely important and we will
have much more to say about it in
fcllU lUiUlCi
An attempt to reduce the price of
dance orchestras playing at Univer
sity functions is also to be made, we
are told. A reduction will have to
come sooner or later and if the pre
sent Council can succeed in this un
dertaking it will deserve the com
mendation of the entire student body.
The subject of drawing up a peti
tion asking the Executive Dean to
dismiss classes on the Friday follow
ing Thanksgiving was discussed .and
will be brought up at the next meet
ing. This is a matter which is of im
portance to every student in the Uni
versity and it is perfectly proper for
the- Student Council to take it over.
So the Council has already done
some things and has made plans to do
. many more. It looks encouraging tc
say the least. If earnestness of desire
to make something of the Council
on the part of its president could do
it alone, the Council's future would
be assured now.
Whether or not the Council will
fizzle outjigain this year cannot be
foretold, of course. But the time has
come when something must be done.
Either the Council must make some
thing of itself or it most be abol
ished. With the very encouraging
start that has been made we hold
high hopes that it will be the former,
"I PROMISE."
I promise that:
1. I recognize the debt I
owe to parents, friends, school,
and state for the sacrifice made,
encouragement offered, and the
education and character pos
sessed which qualify me to enter
the University of Nebraska.
2. I appreciate the opportun
ity to become a student of the
University of Nebraska.
S. I will be loyal to the ad
rrirustration, faculty, traditions
and purposes of the University.
4. I will enter the Univer
sity with the purpose to advance
in Kcholarship and those social
qualities which mt .'.for good
citizenship, ' - .
5. I will enter my classes
;.v.-i other work with such prep
:.rt.l;on and applied attention
will insure a margin above
rwsrfiner not failure.
C. I will budget my time to
l,o devoted to study, recreation,
or activities and rest, and follow .
t;,is schedule with due diligence.
7. I will censure and guide"
my conduct and work toward my
educational advancement and
vl'.'i fnfi'Kiiard the relation I
i
hold to tho University, Its wel
fare, and service! to the state.
A nnrnvtmntnlV 2.000 new students
rose to their feet Thursday morning
In the Coliseum signifyinf.tneir ac
ceptance of this, tho Nobraska
nledge. These new students, gathered
together for the annual Freshman In
itiation, heard that pledge read and
when they were asked to stand If
tripv were willing to accept It, not
one person remained seated.
While they were making mat
promiso, we wonder how many of
them really knew what they were do
ing, what they were saying, or their
actions saying for them. Wo wonder
how many of them will ever think
of it again.
It would be a fine thing it mere
anma wav to force the new stu
dents to memorixe the pledge and a
still finer thing if they could be
made to follow it
If this and coming generations
would follow that promise, the trou
bles of the University wouiu do over.

EDUCATION AND THINGS
By William Allan Whit.
(University Daily Kansan.)
Four thousand young people are
on this campus who believe they want
an education. Some of them really
desire it; a few will get it. Most of
them will get something else. Many
will get grades and a knowledge of
text books. More than many will get
degrees from the various schools.
Nearly every one will get soma
knowledge of social amenities which
is as good a substiutte for an educa
tion as they can carry. But only a
precious few will get an education.
An education is not a lot of assor
ted information upon various aca
demic subjects. An education is the
blessing of the man or woman who
has a mind and a heart so trained
that he can look at both sides of a
proposition; can accept and digest
the best available information upon
the subject and so can distinguish the
true from the false, the real from
the sham. Unless a student graduat
ing from college has formed a habit
of facing reality, refusing to be de
ceived by sentimentality and has ac
quired a trained nose for sensing
shams, he is a boor and a dullard no
matter how many Phi Beta Kappa
keys he jangles; how well he can
dance; or how many degrees he
tacks after his name.
Books and texts will help the wise
but they only befuddle the fool. If
K. U. this year turns Into the life of
this state four hundred wise young
men and women, it will have more
than justified the state in its endeav
ors, and will have surprised delight
fully Its Baner friends I

Why not-
a vaudeville manager
for "faculty adviser"?
NOBODY understands the principle of a bal
anced program better than the manager of a
vaudeville house
That's a thought to you men now making out
your study programs. Balance the chemistry
with English literature; balance your calculus
with economics.
It all gets down to the fact that in industry
today, electrical communication included, you
will find men well grounded in their specialty but
broad in. human sympathies men of the "all
around" type who can shoulder big responsibility
in a big organization.
