Norman Galleher Jack Thompson Edwin Faulkner Harold Kuba Just the Usual Thing. Every new staff of The Daily Nebraskan be gins its career with a resounding declaration of purpose and poliey. Every staff ends its ' semester's work with a summary of what has been accomplished. We, who are dubious of the latter, intend to eling firmly to the former. Wc may not be able to summarize any accom plishments, but by jingo we can at least string enough words toeether. resonantly, to make a nice noise, call it "declaration of purpose, "statement of poliey," or what you will. ' Military science, compulsory or elective, wc believe has been a bit overemphasized and run : into the ground. The Nebraskan. however, still maintains that a choice between drill and physical education would be the best way out of a bad situation. The Student council, in this connection, has - its first real opportunity to prove any worth it -may have as a legislative body, and a rem organ of student self-government. It passed a resolution favoring elective military science, and directed that a committee be appointed to "appear before the proper authorities and state the council's stand." Whether this com- mittee will bring results or not will determine ' to a great extent whether any Student council ' committee can ever bring results. ... It will be interesting to watch the progres it makes. Election time for Innocents is approaching, - and this year's crop of promising juniors seems a trifle short of last year's surplus. Politicians there are, in plentiful number, but really out standing men are fw. Just what will influ enXfeinTwemoers of the senior horio- 7. - S , - w. St. n llf rarv in their cnoice 01 mirmw" a dubious. A nice beginning was made last spring, in nocents, for the. first time in years, were tapped on merit instead of fraternity affilia tions. This spring will be the obviously ap propriate time for a gentle backsliding not . luo "pronounced, but nevertheless a slipping back into the old mess of politics. This, too, will be interesting to observe. An to jarring this fititrust body into any real action, we can say only this: Whatever we do, we dislike extremely to attempt the im possible. , If the organization springs a surprise again, this year, however, and picks the best juniors available, then naturally the society will be cxme a positive and active influence in campus affairs. The first step, taken last term, has revived the organization to a considerable de. pree, and gained for it the respect of the student body. Another such step, and it will be in an actual rather than an unaginarj club to write the Chancellor, stating their views. The Chancellor, placed as he is in a position where he must not run contrary to , public views, is sometimes unable to distin-J guish between the sentiments of the Podunk , women's club and the sentiments of the state j of Nebraska. Hence all the benefit of the! doubt goes to the women's club. Hence A. W. S. drops promptly the proposed ruling, j This is. has been, and will continue to be the greatest problem A. W. S. board members will have to confront them. If they will give the people of the state credit for the intelligence they undoubtedly do possess, their way will be less difficult. It is easier to estimate the in telligent opposition to a rule than it is to ap proximate the number of ignoramuses who will fight the regulat:' '.

We reserve the right to exclude all libelous matter and direct personal attacks that have no bearing on the issues involved. All letters should be brief, not exceeding 500 words in length.

PLANS ANNUAL GREEK BALL Message To Garcia When war broke out between the democrats and the republicans, it was very necessary to communicate quickly with the slasher of the budget. Garcia was somewhere in the moun tain fastnesses of Omaha. No one knew where. No mail nor suffragette could reach him. The regents must secure his co-operation, ami quickly. What to do? Someone said to the repents: "There is a fellow by the name of Burnett will f,ind Garcia for you if anybody can."' He was sent for, and given a budget to be delivered to Garcia.

"Were the word stricken 'from the language, we iire positive there would 'hi- scores of suicides reported.

All this regardless of ihe fact that this same "administration" minds not a whit all the iin j seemly crunades against its ivui'thy ainl ti.ne 7roved policies, but goes serenely on its May. The Daily Nebraskan is not unbalanced by ihc Mght of an "administration" to revile. Xeytrthcless, if affairs seem to be slipping down a side path rather than takir.e the best road, we will do our level best to disturb the serenity of the leaders, at least. Fully real ' 'ring that the faculty and administration bother themselves not at all with what we 4 print, we intend to print what we think.

This, too, is not in th spirit of hard-boiled sarcasm. We hope these bodies do eventually achieve their rightful position in campus life. We even think they will do so. And a small amount of progress bas already ben made. Whether they progress further, and how speed ilythis also will be interesting to ooserve. Public opinion, of course, is the hand that holds A. W. S. board and Panhellenic from any real progress toward self-government. The1 system, as we see it, works like this: A. W.

The point we wish to make is this: Garcia took the budget, and said to Hurnett: '-Thanks for the budget. It will make an excellent cigarette lighter. You know how it is the Nebraska people must have their taxes cut. Think of it! They pay seventy cents apiece on every acre of laiid they own for educational svstems. This is too much, especially since it takes four or five times that much to pay our own salaries at the state house." Bv the eternal: There is a man whose form shriii lil 1k east in deathless bronze, and the statue placed in every college in the land. Tt is not book learning our young men and women need, nor instruction about this and that, but rather a stiffening of University hall, lhat will enable it to be true to a trust, and carry on for another fifty years! The world cries out for such a man I Any thing he asks shall be his even the governor ship of the state. He asked for it. He got it. Now we are getting ours. Resolutions for The Mete Semester. A new semester. And with it new life, new hopes of better grades, new possibilities of flunking courses. It is very appropriate that the school year should be divided into two parts; it permits everyone to take a new start. Every fall when school gets under way, stu dents swear to new resolutions. They make plans they hope to carry out. Everything is bright. Then the days and months wear away, and with each succeeding day ser-ms to come a new sense of weariness. Students worry about studies, examinations, and a multitude of other things. Final examination week ap proaches, and many worry about the results of this hectic time of cramming and the re lentless grinding far, far into the night. It is no wonder that the entire student body heaves a sigh of relief when finals are over. It is a great thing to start out with a clean slate. The beginning of the second semester gives the undergraduate body a chance to make countless numbers of new resolutions and keep but few of them. It gives the stu dents a chance to celebrate a bit because finals are done, and 'an opportunity to gripe a bit because more classes are starting. And after all, no one could live very long unless there were a few chances for new resolutions, and celebrations, and growling a bit about this and that! New starts do help a bit, at that. And The Nebraskan wishes everyone well in the semes ter now beginning. It hopes that the new reso lutions will be kept that the new start will help push everyone a bit farther on their roads to success, whether their sroal be a diploma. or an education, or perchance both. form and that a detailed an nouncement of his scheme would be released later in the week.
