ANOTHER BOUND
The row between the Advocate- and the wreck
Ing crew of the present May Queen machinery con
tinues. Argument etstled back and forth at the
second sitting of the probe committee lam evening.
There has been no backing down on either side.
The probd committee is working out a report that
will be submitted to the student council. And the
Nebraskan stilt clings to the belief that some
change is necessary.
At the meeting of the probe committee last
right disapproval of the Mortar Board for the ex
tension of the Toting franchise to men was ex
pressed, with indications that there was a leaning
toward an election that would be open to Junior
women as well as senior.
The arguments on the May Queen have crystal
Ired into a Joust over the status of the May Queen
that has been elected for the June exercises of this
year in face of any change in the system of elect
ing. Advocates of the continuance of the present
system have pointed fingers at the inexpediency and
illegality of nullifying the May Queen election.
They are concerned with the May Queen-elect.
The student council, listening through its probe
committee, to the airings that have been given the
May Queen during the last two weeks, and con
ducting investigations on their own inUtiative, have
in their possession the facts that are necessary for
consideration of a revision of the system status
quo. The Ncbraskan's part has been to aid in ad
vocating that a change be made. Just how that
change will affect the status of the May Queen
elect is not the paper's chief concern, although it
has favored the view that the new election ma
chinery should be set la motion this spring.
The student council must realize that there has
been a rising tide of student opinion on the subject
of the May Queen. The members of that group
must understand that there is dissatisfaction among
the students. They must understand that it Is their
duty to lug a slumber song to this restless campus.
The argument that the May Queen does not
represent the entire campus and all the students
of the University is shallow. When a May Queen
election can arouse as much interest as it has tM?
spring, among seniors, juniors, sophomores and
freshmen, then there must be more than a few
senior women interested. When a path has been
beaten around the bush for so many years when
the suggestion of remodeling the system has been
made, then it is time for the students' voice to be
beard.
Mortar Board does not favor an extension of
the franchise to the men on the campus. There is
no need of resorting to the methods of shortening
the dog's tall a little at a time. If there is to be an
extension of the voting privileges this spring then
there la no reason under the shining sun why men
students, who are a component part of the student
body, should not be recognized in the recommended
change. It will lave to come sometime; why not
this year?
The Nebraskan believes that this issue must be
met head-on this spring or never at all. If the May
Queen that has been elected, whoever she may be,
can hoax herself into believing that she has been
the representative choice of the University of Ne
braska, and the council feels that it cannot faror a
new election this spring, then students must be
pacified with a change that will become effective
next year.

THE RACE TO NOWHERE
Raclog down It street, streaking up Twelfth
between Social Sciences, Pharmacy hall and other
central campus buildings, bucking the bumps on the
cinders west of Bessey hall, and shooting around
the curves of Memorial mall must stop, says Peter
Johnstone, chief of Lincoln police .in referring to
student traffic around the university.
"Or," he mutters in his heavy Scotch brogue,
"somebody's going to get killed."
Drivers of renowned collegiate tinshop wrecks,
1929 sport model roadsters of racy design and all
other purring vehicles of a more proletariate de
scription find it equally easy and pleasant to satisfy
this gasoline-craving appetite of thnir automobiles
beyond Epicurean prudence.
This love of speed seems to be l-iracteristlc of
youth of today. Alacrity, keenne .. ;n l sealousneas
accompany this continuous insane ('.;.. -I. Ing from one
plpce to another. These traits ar- quite as typical
as speed in the Twentieth century world, and are
to be admired when properly correlated with care
fulness, consideration and common sense.
But this correlation la essential and when ap
plied to the campus automobile problem should re
sult In slower and more careful driving Instead of
the springtime recklessness which now keeps the
. student pedestrians doing a form of the notorious
hula-hula whenever they cross nearby thorough
fares In order to avoid being trampled by some
charing gasoline stallion.
There were not quite so many patrons of the
west entrance of Social Sciences yesterday after
noon. Coach Bible has started directing the foot
ball team.

WEAVER'S APRIL FOOL
NO APPROPRIATION BUI.
MORE POWER TO LINCOLN
SAVED IN THE NINTH
(By Bob Kelly)
After lost nighi's exhibition at the probe torn
mitten hearing, it Is suspected that politics played
a major part In the last May Queen 'election.'
ON THE PLAINS
"Lk the buffaloes still roam the plains out there
In Nebraska?" asks the New Yorker. Anyway the
stories have It this way.
The latest one has this beat by a few country
blocks. The state high school basketball team from
Wlnnemuca, Nevada, had heard about the gangs and
machine guns of Chicago, so their roach makes an
appeal to the Nevada congressman. Mayor Thomp
son was notified, four policemen met the Nerada
boys at the Chicago station, and they were taken
away to the University of Chicago safe ready to
compete in the national high school basketball
tourney.
Mere mention of the second largest metropolis
In the United States seems to strike a note of terror
In the hearts of people living three, four, five, and
six hundred miles, from the city. Almost men, a
high school basketball team from the far-off burn
ing sands of the southwest, dislike the Idea of going
into the city with the reputation of barking machine
guns and gangster warfare. Krom the land of the
cowboy and the six-shooter, these young fellows
wince at the thought of entering Chicago.
There can't be any blame placed on the door
mat of the Nevada youths. They have come to know
Chicago by the tales that have filtered out into the
remote and sparsely populated areas of the country.
Their conception of the metropolitan area has been
nursed by narrations of Valentine day massacres,
liquor hauls, coughing machine guns mounted on
high-speed cars, and daring hold-ups.
No, buffaloes don't roam the plains of Nebraska.

played a Hill April fool trKk on

Just what la holding it up Is un

that It merely Isn't "dressed." Uni

IT'S HERE SPRING
Foffie longing rise within each man
Stirred ly the breath of tpring.
And from the court on gentle breeze
Loud shouts and laughter ring.
The pasting ttudenti pause and uotth
With envy in their eyes,
Those free from ctattrs and all rare
To shout Kith lusty battle cries.
"It's fifteen love" or "thirty all''
Impassirc scorers drone.
Perhaps "net ball'' or "kcrvice vAde"
In ceateless monotone.
Trim rarourts flash fast thru the o-
With hollow thud resound,
And send the ball across the net
To neatly cut the ground.
, The classrooms suffer from neglect
When tennis days arrive
Then all thoughts turn from chem and math
To the art of lobbing perfect drives.
The most common expression among seniors
now seems to be, "And I need all the hours to
graduate."
Organizations better start electing their officers
for next year, because with this nice weather com
ing on it will be hard to even get a quorum.
Among the things that hurt, Is buying a book

The boy's hero story where tie
champion batsman arrives In the
ninth inning to knock a home run
and win tho game was nol unlike
the passage of the child labor
amendment in the Senate Monday.
The bill was up for third readlog
and the roll calls resulted in only
fifteen votes for the measure. One
more vole waa needed to put the
tiiea. ure across. Consequently the
hcrpt-ant-at-arma waa sent out Into
tnr c ipltol corridors to look for
iiny senators. Presently Senator
KiVdall a friend of the measure
I -u rd. the bill was passed.
I I. will now go lo the House. A
(..u.i.r bill was killed In the House
committee on the grounds that
there was already a bill in the
i Senate. It is a ratification of an
amendment to the constitution or
the United States giving Congress
the power to regulate child labor
for children under eighteen years
of age.
Thv House voted unauiinuosiy lo
concur in the Senate amendments
on H. R. SI, state inheritance tax.
This bill was passed early in the
session by the House. The bill as
Introduced would have given the
revenue from the tax to the Uni
versity to build dormitories. It was
amended In the House to let It go
into the general fund.
The Senate accepted the bill but
attached the lollowin amendment
"That this act Is not a commitment
of the legislature to the principle
of the coercie feature of the fed
eral excise tax. It is accepted in
order to protect the temporary in
terests of the people of the state of
Nebraska."
Several of the senators, notably
Senator Rodman of Omaha, are
very much opposed to the great
encroachment of the national gov
erment on the powers of the state
governments. They contend that
such measures as this inheritance
! tax, the federal highway aid and
DOING AND UNDOING
Students are well aware of the advantages to .
be gained from concentrated study, since that gos
pel has been preached to them time and again, but
they are not so familiar with the other side of the
argument
Overwork is the root of many evils, but it Is not
implied that many students ever overwork them
selves. It Is only the exceptional case in which a
student finds he has injured himself from overwork.
In the course of the past year, however, three
students are known to have left school on the verge
of nervous breakdowns which later developed Into
total collapses. The condition was attributed to
overwork while In school.
The nervous breakdown in: be classified as
the effect, and since there Is an effect there must
have been a cause. The cause as stated seems to
have been overwork. It is only In the most excep
tional cases that students find their courses of study
burdensome. It U suspected that a better term to
use is "unregulated work or study."
Too many students cannot settle down and ad
Just themselves to a well-defined routine of study.
An exceptional student reaches this state in his
Junior year but the majority of students do not ad
Just themselves to routine or schedule until they
are seniors. Many do not then.
The general plan of study for the majority of
students Is to postpone their concentrated study un
til a week or so before examinations. They leave
a great amount of work to be done In relatively
few hours. They overtax themselves to accomplish
this work and suffer Its ill-effects for some time
afterwards. A much better plan would be to draft
a schedule that would apportion this wotfc over a
desirable length of time and a brief review Just be
fore examinations.
Students or other persons never surfer from
hard work If they practice the ftataamental rules
of nature. Eight hours of sleep and a well-regulated
diet are (he best safeguards against any Ill
effects that might arise from mental strain.
Have you heard about lb coif
fiend who kept raving about the
"dirty lie." and when asked, said
that bis ball Isnded in A mud
a mldsomestr
test, one of the campus wits said
he knocked the test cold Just
about tero. (Cheer up, this stuff
can't last forever.)
On the right we have the girl
who left college after one year be
cause she made her average and
got her sorority pin and snagged a
fraternity pin in two semesters.
The Blue Shirts won the Junior
class election. Perhaps the barbs
will now schedule anoiher party.
Maybe ao. maybe no.
The spectators at R. O. T. C. pa
rades are those who have fiat feet
or nothing else to do.
