by tbt faculty committee on atudent affairs, the
Student council at Ita Wednesday meeting mpo
ered Ita president to appoint a committee to Investi
gate both the councUa authority and that of tba
faculty group a regard student acUxllles.
The council wants to know, tad properly o.

reject or toy with It aa tbty eaw fit. No matter how
urn all tbt Isaut. tbt council has referred It to tbt
faculty comjwttee. requesting ita approbation.
A perusal of tbt council's constitution would in
dicate that submitting ita tvery act to faculty ecru
t'nv la unnecessary. Certain of Its powers, aa relat
ing to supervision of student election and Uiitla-
tion of projects dealing with student activities, art'
aet fortb clearly and imply bo faculty Interferenca, j
though auggestioaa would bt svelcorne when offered i
la a eon-ttructive way.
Council legislation can be classed in two divl-!
sions. One type aeau wim miners aiicciwg me

reflection upon tbt Institution. The other typt per
tains to tbt students only and warranta no star
chamber approval or disapproval
la matttra affecting the reputation of the insti
tution tbt faculty ahould clearly bold a position of
dominance. But in matters where only students are
Uirolved there is no need for intervention except
whet improper conduct is reported. Just as in tht
local ranheUanlc association, its council, dominated
by students, la final la most legislation, so should it
bt ia tbt Student council.
Certainly tht Student council should consult the
raculty oa all matters even those of a purely stu

DIMINISHING LIBRARY RETURNS.

that tht law of dtmlnlablng return aa tht fact that

Iheie is thia difference to be noted, that whereas

TOR ALL, NOT A FEW.
Tou ask: What better way could the university
Invest 11.000 than by keeping tbe library1 PB 00
Sunday afternoons. A thousand and one ways, but
the nvit crying; need is the Improvement of the
lighting system in the libraries In Social Sciences
and the reserve section of tht mala library.
At present the lighting la all from ceiling light
which are so few and far prt that they give veiy
poor light. It would be far more beneficial to the
students and would make concentrated study pos
sible If something were done about it. At present
tbe average student finds he la forced to stop every
fifteen minutes or so to rest his eyes. Even the
strongest eyes cannot endure an hour of continual
reading by poor light.
As for keeping tbe library open on Sunday after
noons, tht idta seems tht selfish and inconsiderate
viewpoint of a laxy atudent. How many people
would actually "browse" among the periodicals In
the library on Sunday? It seems to me that the
complaining party does not know that tbe actual
stacks of the library are not open to everyone and
anyone who takes a notion to look them over.
Why take from the librarians the only afternoon
of freedom they are allowed? There are others be
sides students who have a claim to being over
worked. No matter how much you pay a person
for giving up his lost bit of rest from monotony,
Such co-operation would be forthcoming from the ' you cannot make up for the rest itself. Why should

AWOWAN ELUCIDATION
To the editor:
I beg the indulgence of the editor to permit
me to continue the discussion relative to the ques
tion of reviving the Awgwan. Now that F. K. H.
has entered the lists aa a champion of collegiate
wit and humor, a few more words on the subject
are really not superfluous.
First of all, I may say that my critic mis
understood me when he stated that I claimed to
voice the opinion of the student body in express-
Dmetimee are in conflict. But the sincerity of the ' tng my dipapproval of the Awgwan. I aspire to
otudent ia to be doubted no more than the sincerity
of the faculty. In fairness to students, however,
their privileges ahould be extended further than
today. Aa young men and young women on the
threshold of life, they should assume a few of the
responsiblllttea they will meet when they step out
side the shelter of a university.
SUNDAY LIBRARY COMMENT.
COME bnckfire on the action of the board of re
gents opening university libraries on Sunday
afternoona pops forth in the Student Pulse columns
today. Another student communication in addition
to the two printed tn this Issue took The Nebraskan
to task for usurping the credit in getting the libra
ries opea oa Sunday.
This complaint came from the fact that the news i
story relating to the opening of the libraries in Fri-1
day's Nebraskan Insinuated that the editorial of j
Thursday morning was directly responsible for the
move made by the regents. All this was figured
out dispite the fact that an editorial in tbe Friday
issue made clear that it was to Chancellor Burnett,
Librarian Doane and Dean Thompson that apprecia
tion should go for getting the libraries open on
Sundsy.
Certainly If these men had not had the interest
no such heiirhts. I tbourbt I made it clear that
! I was merely giving my own opinion. My further
; statement was to tbe effect that no one student,
including L. C. D., has the right to set himself
1 up as the mouthpiece of student sentiment.
I do, however, consider F. K. H.'s offer to
wager a very Mportsmanlike proposition. And the
j idea of a referendum "straw" vote is intriguing.
I But it doesn't bear on the matter of determining
; tbe quality of the Awgwan's alleged humor. It
j is quite beside the point, and only tends to betog
the real issue.
I maintain that the only real issue in this
1 whole argument is the quality of the Awgwan,
i and in this regard, F. E. H.'s defense of the worth
i of the ill-fated publication is full of logical dif
ficulties. Now. what are her contentions 7 It would
be well to scrutinize individually the eight argu
ments auvanced to show that the Awgwan was af
high calibre:
1. It won a first prize in a college humor
contest. It is only necessary' to indicate that a
blue-ribbon baby is still a baby withal.
2. It wasn't the quality, but the quantity of
the "borrowed ttash" that cast odium upon the
last Awgwan What an excuse! A a if there is
any "quality" to trash. Maybe my sense of humor
isn't aa keen as F, K. H.'s. Maybe her sense of
nf rH atnrfanti at heart and the wlllinmess to See
their point of view in the matter, today would not i t"te is too plebeian. But. she says, it's always
be marking the Initial opening of the libraries on , lUilu"' lu la lrMU- " "cu
Sunday. Students, however, are concerned prima- , custom for men to walk on all fours, but the hu
t.r thr the libraries are onen on i rc Sr' ut ot that. Why can't students
Sundays, not in how they got that way.
In spite of other objections offered in the Stu
dent PuIm columns today, it is hearteuing to note
that libraries are going to be open Sunday after-
aoona through the rest of this semester, summer
school, and all the next academic year. The two
who voice their objections today to this practice, it
should be explained, are assistants at the library.
It Is natural that they should not want to have their
free Sundays taken away from them.
Both arguments they present are obviously from
a personal angle and are not offered with the inter
ests of the entire student body in mind. Queer it
seems that one writer should employ apparent falla
ciousness and illogical reasoning in declaring that
opening the library oa Sunday benefits only a few
not alL
What If the cost for Sunday library hours is an
increase over present expeditures ? Tbe returns
may be diminishing from a financial standpoint.
Certainly they .will be increasing many fold from an
intellectual point of view.
It is eaay to understand that something greater
than the mere opening of tbe library doors today is
involved. This opening signifies that tbe university
ia interested first and foremost is iU duty to tbe
vouth of the state it ia trying to educate, that it ia
doing; ail is Its power to make learning desirable,

grow out of tbe habit of publishing cheap trash
under the pseudonym of "humor"?
3. The Awgwan was no worse than many
other similar publications on other csmpusea, and
better than some. Pitiful logic! That a prize
tramp is superior to a mediocre tramp doesn't jus
tify the .hobo's profession.
4. The Awgwan added to school spirit. T
deny that. I think dragged it down into the mire
of amut. This school spirit argument is always the
last argument of one seeking to justify some cam
pus oddity. It is a petty form of rah-rb chau
vinism. F. K. H.'s analogy between the Awgwan
and such organizations as tbe Y. W. C. A., uni
versity pastors, and tbe football team, ia not only
ridicuolus, but casts aspersion upon them.
5. The Awgwan was funny, and the fact that
I didn't think it was proves that T have no sense
of humor. This Is just like asserting that O'Neill's
"Strange Interlude" is great art. and that if you
deny it, you indicate that you have no sense of
the artistic.
6. Tbe faculty failed to let the Awgwan grow
up. but always interfered "when it was beginning
to come to Its own." I suppose T. K. H. considers
that last faculty intervention a caae in point, when
the faculty interfered with tbe publication "when
it we s beginning to come to its own." If the
Awgwan would have ever ah own signs of maturity,
the "ax" wouldn't have been neceanary. Aa it
was. if tbe faculty wouldn't have stepped in. aa
outraged public opinion would have accomplished
the same result.
