Captain Ciissy of the military

stated that they will fight against
the subordination of tha authority
of their groups.
Certain persons have said that
if the council Interferes In the
spherea of power of these other
two bodlea it will be ignored.
Other wtudents feel that Nebraska
Knowing that an average of 40,
percent of freshmen entering state
unlversltloa do not return tncir
second yenr chiefly because of low
scholarship, and that only 18 per
cent of thoas entering college are
graduated In four years, the Teach
ers college at me university 01
Nebraska this year is starting a
comprehensive program to "save"
Its first year stuuents.
Tha teachers college through us
adviser, William H. Thompson,
will help them wnen tney exper
ience scholastic difficulties. His
first task la to learn all possible
about each freshman in order to
know where help la needed In case
of scholastic difficulties, A bat
tery of tests la given at tho outset
and tha results classified. Once
tha student's record Is found out,
everything possible is done to help
mm.
Speolal Training.
Many who possess inadequate
backgrounda in "tool" subjects
such as English and composition,
which are required in all other
courses to some degree, are given
special training in reading and
studying aa well as advice on the
type cf work to follow until their
foundation Knowledge is atrengtn
ened.
In reading alone 25 percent of
tha 800 fresnmen in teachers col
lege this year are below eighth
grade standards. And 71 percent
of those who were delinquent In
their studios at the end of the
first quarter of school had less
than ninth grade reading ability.
This la not Indicative of a poor
claaa, according to Professor
Thompson, as the all time average
for college freshmen everywhere
mis test nas Deen given is even
below this standard.
Professor Thompson's report
shows a high correlation between
students with inferior reading abil
ity and those delinquent at the
first quarter. These are the ones
ho hopes to help through an ad
visory program which he charac
terizes as "'simply human and in
telligent.

nody.
Other Points.
Two other pointa of dissension
are the questions of the propor
tion of men and women on the new
council and the raisinar of the scho
lastic requirement for council
members. Both points are under
fire bv students.
Should the constitution be
adopted by the council the docu
ment will follow a aevious route
before It will become the official
ruling organ .of the students. It
will first have to be ratified by the
atudent body. After that it will go
to tha faculty committee on student
affalra thrnuch recommendation of
Its sub-committee on the Student
council, headed by Prof. E. s. Fuii
brook. If Ttasted bv that body It will
go to the University senate where
the final authority now rests.
Should It be passed favorably by
that horiv It will become the plan
of government for students at the
University or XNeorasaa.

So sensitive is this tube, that it can measure 6.000,000,000,000,000,01 .
