THE PUBLICATION BOARD
vrITMN TIIK nrt thr meek th Stutlrnt lub
liiatlm board will meet to pick the taff of
Tb Pni!y Nehrakn for next meifr and the
Ornhunker fr next yr. Thlt coming Tuesday
stuimti will fo to the poll t elect three new slu
dent member who will sen on th board next
year.
Given yi repreentation. five faculty mem
her to three student, it I very possible for these
student to exert crnilrrb!e Influence in the field
cf publication. Two inherent fault In the publi
cation board prevent this possibility frm becom
ing a reality.
First, the usual student elettrd to the board ha
little or no Interest !n publication and I unquali
fied to Juiljie candidate seeking promotion and
position beside lnckir.g the Journalitic background
Becr.ary to discuss tnieiliKrnl matters or policy
Second, election
on poll! ics. "which means that position doled out
by ihe board often are Influenced by student poli
tics rsir.'r than by capability and previous work.
To ;.t Impartial members and at the same time
students who know what Is Roinj: on In university
publications Is the solution to the difficult problem
presented here.
The need of student members on the board Is ap
parent. Its work is d -v oted chiefly to choosing the
staffs of Ths Nebrakan and the Cornhusker,
though It also considers matters pertaining to pub
lication policies.
Two Journalism Instructors on the board can
know the potentialities of the candidates but can
not know how muh work they have been doing
In student publications nor how they are regarded
In the eyes of their follow students. The student
point of view in other matters is likewise needed if
the decisions of the board are to be fair to both the
students and tlie university.
(X THE OTHER hand, putting In political mem
bers defeats the very purpose of having stu
dent on the board. In the past, these members
have fallen, generally sneaking, into two categories:
many. It mut regulate tb person! conduct for
students, plan courss requirement fr graduation
and set rules in any numlier of things.
Students seem to deli.ht in being non-chalant.
They want the world to think they don't car about
their future. Their real interests and desires a re
hidden underneath thi sham front. That is why a
staif of consultants on career who would have to
be interviewed by the entne student body once a
year wouIJ be a worthwhile addition to the university.
rrilisps they could n"t advie tne individual in
bis particular field, once it was discovered. Hut
they could refer him to other profear who are
acknowledged leaders In the various lines of learn
ing. And then men could provide this valuable
advice.
The Nebraskan has proposed that some such
conference system be beld In connection with regis-tration-the
logical time for consultation on ca
reers. In addition the standing consultation bu
reau would be available for conferences throughout
the year,

is so evident that a negative vote would seem too
raw. The student members, however, are not to be
blamed for supporting their faction. They are
elected through factlonr.l politics nnd arc bound to
make an effort to pay bark some of the honor
which has been bestowed upon them through their
selection.
The need of a new plan of student representa
tion on the board seems very apparent. The fol
lowing scheme, The Nebraskan believes would be
a vast Improvement that would give students on
the board real authority and that would eliminate
factional politics to a very great extent.
1. The editor of The Nebraskan and the
Cornhusker, and the business managers of both
publications would constitute the student mem
bers of the publication board.
2. The outgoing editors and business man
agers would recommend ajid vote on their suc
cessors along with the five faculty members
on the board.
DEASONS FOR this proposal should be evident.
First, the men actually working on these pub
lications know what various individuals are doing,
keep in close touch with staif workers, and realize
th problem which confront the publications.
Second, factional politics would be eliminated to
a large extent No editor or business manager who
has worked through a semester or a year with staff
members Is going to be unjust in his recommenda
tions, 1a going to barken to the call of politics over
real ability In applicants.
Editors and business managers come to regard
their responsibility too keenly to let politics inter
fere. Forward steps in this direction already have been
taken. A year ago the editors of The Nebraskan
and the Cornhusker were permitted to sit with the
board In discussing editorial applicants while the
business managers were on hand to tell the board
what they knew of Applicants in their departments.
The move which The Nebraskan now sponsors is
a continuance in this direction. No change would
be attempted for spring elections to staff positions,
and a Lew publication board. There is, however, a
reed for alteration In the election of student mem
bers that Is inevitable if the present trend continues.
If students want authority in directing their own
destinies about this university, if students are seek
ing justice and fair play in tbe field of publications
from which politics should be entirely eschewed,
they will support a plan to do sway with the stu
dent elected members of the publication board and
to substitute staff heads whose capability and inte
grity are usually above dispute.

CONSULTANT ON CAREERS.
AT HARVARD university, one full time instruc
tor, well schooled in vocational work and un
derstanding of student problems, has been ap
pointed as consultant of careers. All of his time
will be spent in conferences with individual stu
dents who are unable to decide what kind of life
work to follow, who are perplexed about what
course to pursue, who are confused in the maze of
facts that surrounds the modern university.
In as large a school as Nebraska one Buch per
son would be inadequate if many students took ad
vantage of the opportunity extended to them
through the conference plan. If optional, however,
a very limited number cf students would interview
a consultant of careers at Nebraska.
In fact today in the department of vocational
education at the teachers coltrge, students may go
to aecu'.e advice regarding lines of work for them
to follow if they care to do ao. Remarkably few
outside the teachers college know anything about
this department and fewer still have ever used it.
Students, It would seem, should be Interested in
their personal welfare" sufficiently to make every
effort to get the best advice on such matters.
They ar no longer children, but approaching man
hood and womanhood.
A state university, however, must take certain
responsibilities tha.f. aeem quite unnecessary to
ing the employees used by the corporations.
In college, students should be developing high
ideals to guide their conduct. They should also
cultivate a broad understanding of sympathy for
humanity. The world looks to them for enlightened
leadership leadership that will make the world
better for all classes of people to live in.
To many of them are permitting the great mate
rial forces of the outside world to crush their fine
ideals. They are willing to let industrial monsterB
use them as tools in bringing about economic im
perialism. It is unfortunate that for financial rea
sons the fine spirit of individualism should be sacri
ficed on the altar of capitalistic enterprise.
F0 THE FUTURE.
JIVE NOW bu. plan for the future."
This signal statement of Richard T. Ely, Chi
cago public utilities tycoon, was made in a recent
address before the Northwestern university stu
dent body.
The exhortation to "live now" obviously is not to
be applied in a hedonistic sense. Life is to be a
progressive thing, enjoyed from day to day to be
sure, but planned so all the happiness of living
will not be cramped into one youthful orgy of de
bauchery. The future must be remembered. The idea of
planning for possible hardships and days of decline
ahead is inherent in modern civilization, is the
product of bitter experience in the past. Famines,
destitution, poverty nationwide in extent resulted
in ancient times because the people did not learn
to save their food, because they forgot to think of
tbe future.
Now we look at financial measures that provide
for the future as fundamental and a matter of
course. Insurance and savings accounts are almost
requirements in American life today. Citizens
guard their bank accounts but forget to guard their
personalities, their minds, their souls.
An individual's life is the capital or principal with
which he starts. Properly invested the interest that
will accrue will allow bim all the satisfactions of
the moment and will provide more in tbe way of
new ideals and new purposes to add to that prin
cipal so that a life abounding in intellectual spirit
uality may be passed on to inspire others engaged
in the business of living. Detracting from the prin
cipal always results in an improverished spirit and
a worthless life. .
There is a great need of correlating the present
life to the future. This task Is one of the greatest
confronting the university today as it furnishes
thought food for tbe cation' youth. i
merce. Ten years hence you'll be
fat and prosperous, complacent
and influential, a made man with
the little home and the little fam
ily." But no one says to the graduat
ing senior: "Pay no attention 1o
this drive! Never forget your wild
est and most romantic dreams.
Forget that American fame is now
based on influence, conservative
ness and wealth. Be a hobo if you
want to be a hobo. If you dreamed
of the Isles of the Sea, go to them.
If you want romance and adven
ture, don't throw it over in order
to be a credit in your community.
No, you never hear anyone say
that.
The University of Nebraska is
bere now because there were some
men back east who, despite the
horror expressed by the old home
towners, got into their covered
wagons and treked across a thou
sand mileB of prairie, fighting In
dians and plagues and bunger and
thirst, and made their homes in a
"god forsaken" country. But their
grandson's are graduating from
the university this June and some
of them are going into the gro
