The fault :; In tl.e U.; ot wlnlli lanJidales
f ir the council by the factions. Instead of nomi
nating men and women who are in the habit of
thinking and acting independently, the political
bosses put forward their candidates for Innocents
and Mortar Boards regardless of their capacity to
i present th student body in the council. They
l.u-k cither the ability or the courage to assert their
opinion on matters of moment affecting the student
body.'
It is incorrect to say that th Student council is
unimportant and therclore its memberbcrship is of
little consequence. The Student council is and will
be just as strong as its members make it. If they
are unwilling and incapable of asserting any action,
they will never get any independent power.
Thanks to the minority of active members the
council is making some progress. Next year it will
have the responsibility for the conduct of rallies.
Proportional representation wi!S bring- new powers
and new problems. The necessity of a new constitu
tion is apparent. The possibilities that lay before
the council are many. It deserves a strong mem
bership to carry them out.
Factioni must assume this responsibility of
placing capable leaders on next year's council. If
they fail it will injure their own opportunities In
the field of student politics and in addition the
cause of student participation in the extra-curricular
government of the University of Nebraska.
DOG DAYS.
"THOUGH the most sedate professors in Social
Sciences mutter "dawgone" and worse as
yelps and howls emanate hourly from the univer
sity's newest and probably most beautiful and pre
tentious structure. Canine hall, the dogs ain't gone
and to all appearances promise to stick out the
month and & balf more of school along with the
student body.
What jovial companions! In double-decked rows
of cages, like a miniature jail, the university's en
rollment of hounds spend their days in community
singing. They are a jealous lot, those dogs, and
won't permit any solo work on the part of their
pals. If one feels the nrge to howl forth, the rest
are quite eager to join in on both verse and chorus,
and do so without besitance or invitation.
All this time a score of classes meeting on the
west side of Social Sciences are compelled to divide
their attention between professors, flivvers and
dogs. Actual tabulation last week revoaled that
the campus dog pound made itself noticeable by
sound, as well as by sight and smell, at least once
every classroom period.
One thing can be said for the dog house. It pro
motes a spirit of concentration in the classes. At
least if the students allow the dog calls to interfere
with the attention they ive their instructor, they
lose the gist of the lecture or recitation, and may
flunk the course.
Seriously, however, the appendix to Pharmacy
hall Is a blight on the university. First, the none
too beautiful campus is marred even more by the
dog house at one of the most conspicuous spots
which could have been chosen for such a structure.
Second in mention but primary in importance is the
daily annoyance that tne dog house brings to hun
dreds of students and professors.
Removal of the building to some remot.e corner
of the campus would be viewed as an act of Provi
dence by many. But transfer of the dozen dogs
that exercise their vocal chords and disseminate
a mangy odor in its close proximity is almost neces
sary. Spring is not conducive to concentration.
Coupled with the barking canines, class work is in
tolerable on the west side of Social Sciences and in
neighboring university buildings.
The college of pharmacy may require dogs and
such for experimental purposes, but several hun
dred students and faculty members require some
degree of quiet if class work is to be carried on
satisfactorily.
The sooner that professors cfn murmur "daw
gone" and know the dogs are gone, the better.
LIQUOR AND LIBERTY.

When liquor is taken away from them it i not

That is why prohibition is absolutely necessary

APOLOGIA PRO VITA SUA.
To the editor:
I am exceedingly glad that the editor of The Daily
Nebraskan has made himself the trouble to take
cognizance of my insig-nificant remarks concerning
his very fine and judiciously chosen editorial con
cerning Dr. Alexander. Especially am I impressed
by the lucid manner in which he explained exactly
how it came about that Dr. Alexander was misrep
resented in hia columns; and the pronouncement
concerning hia editorial policy interests me greatly.
I am now thoroughly convinced that Dr. Alexander
was wrong-, and I wish to apologize for my pre
sumption in questioning the authority of The Daily
Nebraskan.
In the editorial which I am about to defend as
"vigorously" as I "panned" the other one, the editor
says that "The more learned a person really is, the
more he should recognize his individual inferiority
in the maze of facts which confronts the world to
day." Behold, "To the Rescue" hath made me
learned, and my head inclineth down into the dust.
I find myself completely humiliated and brought
low by this overwhelming answer.
And now, to demonstrate that I bear no grudge
against the editor for putting me into my proper
pigeonhole, I should like to express my high esteem
for his excellent editorial, "Phi Beta Kappas," which
appeared in the lead position April 9, 1930, on the
day the elections were made public. Feeling the ap
prehension that some individuals are misinterpret
ing the editor's meaning and so making errors sim
ilar to mine, I undertake the following in order to
preclude any possibility of this occurring.
1 shall now prove that all the salient statements
made by the editor concerning the lucky lads and
lassies" are true. However, 1 would frrst acquaint
the reader with a few of the latest research develop
ments concerning this matter. These investigations
have been carried on very quietly, and now the facts
are ready.
Word comes from private but reliable sources
that students of the engineering department have
been making transit determinations and that their
results show that the mean elevation of the smug,
inte'ligentsian P. B. K. nose is at least eighteen
degrees higher than the norm.
The Committee on Verbal Tuffy has reported a
collection of fifty-one different formulae, and a re
search made upon Sunday Fact Cramming Ma
chines has disclosed a great variety of devices,
some very painful, as well as divers Factual Infor
mation Files. Several late editions of "The P. B. K.
Catalog of Snap Courses and Cumulative Index of
Easy Instructors" have been brought to light.
And now to answer the arguments of my oppo
nents. 1 have heard some accuse the editor of ar
guing peewee personalities in his editorial, but they
are wrong. He would not do this, I am sure. In
defense of the statement that "They are emerging
(from the cloisters) this spring with nothing but a
P. B. K. key and a diploma to show for four years
of concentration on grade getting," I cite the fact
that most of them are failures when they leave
school. They seldom attain to any positions of
prominence, I think.
Of course, some of the professors are P. B. K.'s,
but they no doubt got there in spite of it. I think
that most of the great scholars who are P. B. K.'s
probably got their key by accident, or found it
somewhere. Convincing proof as to the importance
of P. B. K. may also be had by noticing how few
of them are ever listed in "Who's Who." In the
pawnshops, I am told, one may get for a song the
golden keys of many P. B. K.'s who have been
forced to pawn them to keep the wolf from the
door.
With this as a conclusion, I end my first com
ment on the Phi Beta Kappa editorial. This line
of thought will be continued tomorrow.
BICKERSTAFF.
While students trudge a block or two or three
from where they have parked their cars, professors
continue to utilize almost one-half of the parking
space allotted them north of Social Sciences. Still

across from the annex and, ac
cording to him, he receives full
benefit of the howls which have
been coming from the dog house
ls:oy. "Very hard on one's nerves
and I don't imagine the students
enjoy it any more than I do," was
the statement of Dr. Senning.
"Surely a different location can be
found for such a howling collec
tion," he said.
"I wish something could be done
either in the way of quieting those
dogs or in removing them to some
other place where their howls
would not disrupt classes," said
Prof. C. H. Oldfather, chairman of
the history department. "They are
a nuisance and I have had to stop
classes at several different times
during the day recently because I
could not make myself heard."
Unfair to Students.
Associate Professor C. M. Kne
ier of the political science depart
ment thinks that in fairness to the
students and teachers, something
should be done about the disturb
ance caused by the barking doga.
Mr. Kneier declared he would be in
favor of any move which would do
away with the noise.
"The barking of dogs kept In
Pharmacy hall is annoying. My
office is on the west side of Social
Sciences and the dogs provide a
continuous disturbanse. Perhaps
the dogs are necessary, but I be
lieve they might be kept in some
better place." This statement was
advanced by J. E. Kirshman, pro
fessor of finance.
Vernon G. Morrison, instructor
in economics, objects to the com'
motion raised by the dogs in the
Pharmacy dog house and believes
something should be done to re
move the disturbance. "I find it
difficult to conduct a class with
such howls as those from across
the street floating into the class
room every few minutes."

The University of Wisconsin has
a student athletic hoard but its
"powers are negligible," and Its
purposes are questionable. Politics
on that campus dominate the
"Men's Union board, the Badger
(annual), and the Athletic board,"
but The Daily Cardinal is removed
from t he control of factional pol
itics. The factions are organized
merely by self interest and polit
ical squabbles exist only between
"divergent fraternity interests for
the non-fraternity student doesn't
vote." Factional allegiance is not
permanent for "there is no group
that can't be and isn't licked.'
Strict eligibility requirements
are maintained to govern partici
pation in school activities, publi
cation work, and athletics at the

When Small Machines
Were Big
TVTORE than a quarter century ago, the
Commonwealth Edison Company,
prophetically alive to the immense possi
bilities of the future, ordered from Gen
eral Electric a 5000-kilowatt steam turbine
in those days a giant of electric power.
To-day, a General Electric turbine-generator
of 208,000-kilowatt capacity sends
out its vast energy to the Chicago Metro
politan District.
College-trained men played a responsible
part in the engineering and manufacture
of both machines just as they serve in
important capacities in the engineering,
production, and distribution of all
General Electric equipment, large or
