COUNCIL VETOES SCHOOL DANCES FOR MONEY OAIN Coatlnurd from Part I. from the College of Kngineerlng be a member of the Executive uoaru. and that the freshmen and sopho-1 more members provided for in the constitution be eliminated as the members of the Student Council thought that they would be of little service on the Executive Board due to their lack of experience. The '"Udent Council also speci fied that amendments to the con stitution or 'the University of Nebraska Kngineerlng Executive Board be subject to the Council's approval and the member of the Student Council of the College of Engineering call the first meeting In the fall for the Kxrctitlve Board since the president of the organisa tion was quite likely to have been a senior who had graduated In June. The matter of the disposal of the funds left over from tne Junior Senior Prom and from the defunct honorary societies, which were abolished last year was discussed. There is a surplus of J80 from last year's Junior-Senior Prom while the bonoraries left a legacy of $10. It was pointed out that if the Stu dent Council took the aurplus from the rrom, if a deficit occurred It would also be responsible for it. The Council voted that the funds be transferred to the Student Coun cil's treasury. Ceppeck Drive Tabled. The Y. M. C. A. acked for permis sion to conduct a drive to raise $1,300 for the Grace Coppock fund, which is used to carry on mission ary work in China. The Council did not grant permission hut .de- t ided to give the matter ita atten-1 tlon at the next meeting The Stu dent Council desires that all organi sations make but one financial drive a year and that they should gel at that time enough funds to carry on its activities. The Y. W. C. A. has had one fl nancial drive this wlntei in which! they raised $3,000. A representative of the Y. W. C. A. stated that it would be Impossible to raise the total amount necessary to carry on tht-lr work at. one time.

"This Is the University of Ne braska radio station and friends this afternoon you are to hear a short talk by Miss on So ciology. Please Hand by."

But constipation can steal your health. Its poisons permeate the system, sap vitality and often cause serious illness. Kellogg's ALL-BRAN, because it sup plies roughage in generous quantities, is guaranteed to bring prompt and permanent relief from constipation even in chronic cases.

While there, a little bank was atarted In the town of Sheridan and I decided to lake up banking. Hut I didn't give up the profession entirely, for I taught drama in the Sheridan high school while employed In the bank.'' 'Diers was lanhier in that, same bank when the war broke out but gave up his position to become food administrator. He returned to the bank for a short time after the war. Hla answer, however, of the occu pation he was engaged In Just be fore (umiua to Nebiaska nas al most too much for the Nebiaskan reporter. A Kentucky Parson. "I was a preacher Iu Kentucky," he said. And the assistant who had by that time Joined the two con verailnn had to emphatically as sure the reporter that this was true. "You see. 1 was employed by the Transylvania university of Lexing ton. Kentucky, and was engaged In endowment campaigns through out all the church schools. I wasn't exactly a minister, but I waa en gaged in religious work." Diers came to t'otner college here In Lincoln to conduct euch a campaign, lett for Enid, Oklahoma for a similar purpose, and then re turned to Nebraska where he has since resided. He has been radio di rector for the past four years and is a Nebraska product as he was born in Seward.
