The stand taken by the faculty

minor class officers was ex
plained to The Dally Nebraskan
Thursday by Dr. T. J. Thompson,
dean of student affairs. Tabling
the Student council's recommend
Hon that minor class officers be
abolished, the faculty committee
came in for some censure from the
editorial colunms of The Ne

"We simply left the matter up
to the students," explained Dean
Thompson. "The committee felt
that perhaps it had been taking
too many things In the way of ex
tra-currlcular activities away from
students.
Minor claws officers, consisting
of a vice president, secretary and

'Family Too Large for Its
House," Is Subject
Of Address.
Mrs. John Sennlng spoke before
a meeting of the University
League of Women Voters Thurs
day afternoon in Ellen Smith hall.
She spoke on the "Family Too
Large For Its House," referring
primarily to the divisions of de
partments in our present day gov
ernment. "William Hart rightly compared
the government to a picture puz
zle, as each department is so
closely related and dependent on
each other," declared Mrs. Sen
nlng in opening her talk. "It is
plainly evident that the depart
ments need reorganization, and
has been realized by the people
because so many plans, some ri
diculous have been submitted to
the president," she said.
President Hoover is slowly re
organizing and redividing the de
partments. For instance the bu
reau of prohibition is under the
treasury department, but congress
is now working to change prohibi
tion to the department of justice,
according to Mrs. Sennlng.
Following the talk, Virginia
Jonas gave a reading, "The Re
considered Verdict." Leone Ket
terer, chairman of the efficiency
in government group, was in
charge of tbe meeting.
A meeting of the group led by
Leone Ketterer was announced
for Thursday. Feb. 20, at 4 o'clock
in Ellen Smith hall.

Average Valentine Is
Far Too Sentimental
Avers Star Snooper
St. Valentine's day. descending
upon tbe campus this morning,
will find a few of the less popu
lar coeds heartless. Others, bask
ing In the warm sunshine of popu
larity, may rate one or more of
the lacy things known as valen
tines. The Dally Nebraskan's star
snooper reports that the average
valentine is far too sentimental
for average use and that breaches
of promise suits might be caused
by them. Heart balm, he reports,
would be the least disagreable re
sult of the distribution of valen
tines. Anxious to assist the university
lovers In the pursuit of their ac
tivities. The Nebraskan offers a
safe verse.
I want you for my valentine
Along with several others.
I must admit I have a line,
But so do ail the brothers.
Hats are off to the lads who
'indulged in scraps with their fem
inine friends about last Sunday,
hence eliminating the necessity of
scraping the coffers dry in an at
tempt to purchase valentine gifts.
The wireless valentine communi
cations might be considered heart
to heart talks.
KXPKESS THEIR FAVOR
tli- plan to revolutionize the
nvnt. the president of tbe Student
council, the fponsor ot the plan,
and the head of the three student
political fac.ons, divergent views
on the .sc'jjecl have been found.
Discuiiion is Rampant.
Following the favorable action
taken by the committee on student
organizations Wednesday evening,
much discussion has been rampant
concerning the validity of the new
sc heme. It was found among other
things that the repoit in tho
Thursday Daily Nebraskan of the
subcommittee, after its confer
ence with local political scientists,
was erroneous.
The subcommittee's report to the
faculty committee was not In fa
vor of the plan. It failed to find
any cause for sanctioning the pro
ject and therefore let the commit
tee as a whole decide tbe matter.
The result was that the committee
approved the amendment provi
sionallyreserving the right to re
verse its judgment should the plan
fail to meet the exigencies.
Student Vote Tuesday.
Eut now the fate of the wholo
thing lie in the hands of the stu
dents. They are to be given an
opportunity "to accept or reject it
at the polls in the Temple next
Tuesday. What happens then will
be final.
The father of the bill, David
Fellman, graduate college repre
sentative in tbe Student council,
cun see no reason that fairness
and honesty cannot be manifest In
politics as well as in other walks
of life.
"And proportional representa
tion Is premised upon Just these
considerations," he says. "Our
Student council represents but half
of the student body. The other half
has no representation at all. Why
not give all the students a voice in
their only self-governing organ?"
Barbs Are Important.
That the Student council has
suffered tremendously in prestige
because it does not command the
loyalty and support of all the stu
dents is attested by Fellman. The
unaffiliated group or the barbs ou
the campus are too important to
be ignored, he believes.
"If the barbs are not admitted
to tbe Student council." continued
the sponsor of the plan, "they will
strengthen their own council, as
they have already done to some
degree. This will tend only to
solidify factional sentiment ou the
campus, pulling apart and setting
up barriers where tliey might be
brought closer together. Propor
tional representation, as a method
of minority representation, is in
the interests of the university as
a whole, and the university spirit."
Objections Are Raised.
Objections raised during the
course of discussion on the plan
ever since it was taken up and
some of which, incidentally, are
brought out in subsequent inter
views, are answered by Council
man Fellman. The idea that pro
portional representation would
drag women into politics seems to
him to be specious.
"The plan does not require it; in
fact, specific provision is made to
make possible their continued par
ticipation in student affairs inde
pendent of politics. And I may
add that even if it would Involve
the women In politics (which it
doesn't), what of it? This is an
age of universal suffrage, women's
leagues and equal rights, isn't it?
Fellman Replies.
"Tbe objection that the plan re
moves representation by colleges is
equally unfounded. All that is
necessary to refute this is to refer
to the clear text of the amend
ment, which retains the present
plan of representation by colleges."
Regarding what he considers to
be the greatest objection that the
representation on tbe council will
be all muddled up Fellman waxes
warm in his reply:
Students Mutt Consider.
"The only muddling I can con
ceive of is in the minds of those
who won't take the time to sit
down, read the plan, and think it
through. The greatest hazard
which lies ahead of the adoption
of the plan lies in the fact that its
comprehension calls for some
thinking on the part of him wbo
seeks to understand it. Thinking
is, unfortunately, the most difficult
of all the human processes."
But strange to say, that's what
everybody is complaining about
the. pi Atj, They don't understand
it. They have a vague idea of
what it is all about, and therefore
formulate their opinions on that
basis.
Blue Shirts Favorable.
The attitude of the blue shirts,
who now control tbe seats In the
Student cCjncll, was sounded at a
