TO T.KG18LAT0KS: The Illinois state house of representatives h;is vqttMl for th( repeal of the Mute's prolii hitiou "enforcement art. The v ets in tin: sen ,iic nlso' claim h majority, ami apparently we ire about to see another state turn the mi I'ori i'iueiil prolileni over to the federal novern nient. The prohibit ion question, evidently, is i.if from dead. Nebraska state legislators rt-fuscd ly a liiitfo Tiia jority to pass a similar enactment. Tiny are, however, evincing a great personal interest in student morals in general and stu dent drinking at the University of Nebraska. First of all, representatives, let us draw a brief, concise picture of the situations upon ut her campuses, as gleaned from press dippings. Aim Arbor, Michigan. Friday the thir teenth proved an unlucky day for 1S4 univer sity students who roamed the streets in the rain today looking for new homes because iluir fraternity houses had been ordered closed after liquor had been discovered in ; !n in. The students, most of whom declared the nlmle affair was a "mess" and that university officials could not be blamed for "padlock ing" the houses, accepted the decision phil osophically and began looking for new living imarters. The. five houses ordered closed were Phi Helta Theta, Theta Delta Pi, Sigma Alpha Ep silon. Kappa Sigma, and Delta Kappa Epsilon The closing order was issued late Thursday afternoon by the university committee on stu dent affairs. It will be effective until next tall. Even then few privileges will be allowed the offending houses. The drastic order came i's a result of police raids early Thursday, after which seventy-nine studems were taken into informal custody, charged with disorderly conduct. Moulder,' Colo. The Colorado University campus' and town of Boulder were plunged into a prohibition furore recently, following publication yesterday of a prohibition poll, which voiced disfavor of the eighteenth amendment, and set tongues of faculty, stu dents, and townsfolk to wagging. The poll, student publication said, showed that college leaders, more than 78 percent of them, broke the dry law. The students, in answer to a questionnaire, expressed themselves opposed to the law, and candidly admitted the prices paid for liquor, varieties preferred, reasons for drinking, and other personal detail. "The question of prohibition can never be solved by ignorance of true facts," an di torial accompanying the result of the vote stdteif. Foriy-two student leaders, including fra ternity presidents, the football team, athletic team wptains, club leaders, and outstanding scholars, composed the participants in the poll. The group, while small, was evidently picked with eye to securing a representa tive cross-section of the Colorado student body. Average student's monthly expense for liquor, the forty-two said, was six dollars, "licfreshment" was given as the chief reason for drinking. Seventy-four percent of the male acquaint ances of the forty-two voters also drank, it was statpij. ('ls seemingly were also included. The reported result was that slightly more lhan thirty percent of coed friends of the forty two representative men also drink. The last query: Should university authori ties attempt to control the situation, wa an swered by a unanimous "NO." On the -v ut coast, the Daily California!! mi mm arizes the situation editorially by saying: "Virtue is a grandmother and prudery is her nickname." This in exception to the creat wave of reform "that seems to be sweeping I the nation." "ru ., . .1.1 :. .1 J . i l- .u:i.j l a. in- ui in . ... in loo uiu tu pifv l,c CliliU and virgin without making itself ridiculous." Scholarship is also the cause of sweeping criticism of (jrcck-lctter fraternities in par ticular and eulleec students in general, as shown by the following: Madison. Wisconsin. Fraternities are facing serious difficulties today at the University of Wisconsin, which has the largest undergrad uate group of fraternities of any university in the country. Sororities escape the danger by higher rat ing in scholarship. "We are going to notify loafers that the University of Wisconsin cannot be turned into a high class country club," said President Glen Frank, when scholastic requirements of the school were raised recently. Scott II. Goodnight, dean of men. is of the opinion that the average Wisconsin fraternity man is "content with just getting by." Those- are a few highlights from other schools. It' Ihe member of 1he present Ne braska legislature will compare them with con ditions on the campus of their own university, we aro suro they will feel relieved. Fraternities and sororities on the Nebraska campus are doing very well, both scholastic ally and otherwise. When the only arguments between Ntudents and administration arise over the "moral" question of whether sorority porchlights shall be extinguished at 1 2 : 1 o or 12:110, the legislators may relax their study of thu pc reditu go of undergraduates destined for the gates of Hades, and turn their attention to the more serious topic of university appropria- , tions. Nebraska students are not going to their downfall. Student morals are quite as well as the.v ; have ever been.

After rule, have been passed they must be enforced: furthermore the .student council needs the as sistance of the administration and faculty in enforcing its decisions. Hul we see several glaring defects in the plan presented at the council meeting Friday afternoon. operation with Esther Gaylord drew up the new proposal, acted as chairman pro tern during the proposal's presentation. It was recommended that the proposal be included in the Stu dent council's new constitution be fore submitting; Ihe document to the faculty committee on student affairs mid the university senate At: ii ofavsnlj t rS A ri-riiao 1 w nlr&n e lieheey that a joint taeulty and student provision for the delegation of en committee, including in its membership the i lorcement to the proper student dean of student affairs and th dean of women. ! organizations and administration. should work out methods of administering Stu dent, council legislation. This committee should be empowered to use all of the facili ties of the administration in enforcing lliese rules. But what is the sense in having both a fac ulty committee and a student-faculty commit tee for the administration of regulations? Why give, both groups the. excellent chance to pass the buck ' That is one of the faults with administration of student affairs now. Prof. E. . Lantz. defending the Chinese puzzle of administration, stated, "1 am con fident that faculty members will refuse to bandy votes with students on any committee of that kind." t 4 In the first place we can't see why the en forcement of regulations calls for the bandying of votes. But even so, if faculty members are unwil1' g to trust student leaders enough that thev will sit with them on a committee and try to enforce rules that have been made by students for the general student welfare we might as well abandon the hope of undergrad uate government. Everyone recognizes the fact that the fac ulty is not signing away any of its sovereign rights by condescending to help students in student government. After all. the faculty committee and the senate can nullify any rule that any student governing body passes. The senate might also consider that fact when it passes on the eligibility clause in the consti tution. Any plan which tends to widen the breach between student leaders and administrative officers is contrary to the spirit of student gov ernment. Organizations f the nature of the Student council. Interfraternity council, the Panhellenic board and the A. W. S. board are intended to assist the dean of student affairs and the dean of women in administering stu dent affairs. Those officers need, however, to have some confidence in the integrity of student organi zations. They need to cooperate with them. They should ask their assistance in solving problems and the3 must entrust them with a little power. A concrete instance in which that might have been possible was the special excursion to Kansas last fall. The unfortunate conditions As specified In the proposal two committees would be established. One of them, the student judiciary committee, would be composed of six members: the four hold-over members of the Student council, a chairman elected from senior Stu dent council representatives, and the council faculty advisor who would have no vote. This commit tee would be delegated to consider methods of enforcement recom mended to it by the Student coun cil proper and would recommend to the faculty executive commit tee the methods of enforcement considered in the best interests of all students concerned. Faculty Compose Groups. The other committee provides for a faculty executive committee would be comprised of the dean of men, the dean of women, the Stu dent council faculty advisor, the chairman of the student judiciary committee (who would have no vote), and two other faculty mem bers to be selected by the Student council from a list "of four sub mitted to it by the first three rep resentatives named above. The faculty executive commit tee would have the power to ap prove or reject methods recom mended by the student judiciary committee, delegate the enforce mnt of their decisions to student organizations properly concerned, and refer to the administration any matter not lying within the i jurisdiction of any student organi zation or group now extant. ! As explained by Grau, chairman pro tern, the student judiciary , committee would be the key body acting: between the Student coun cil and the administration in the enforcement of powers gratned to the Student council. Faculty, ad- j ministration and students would I be represented on both committees i and in that way the organ of stu dent government could be oper ated by the Student council work ing through its judiciary commit tee. Would Act Thru Faculty. Although maintaining a position as the "pivot committee" for en forcing Student council legislation the student judiciary committee would act by and through the fac- i ulty executive committee. Thus the counci. s jurisdiction would be transferred for enforcement to such groups as the Interfraternity auow wiuuuw tmikgioiinu was used, before which the models were posed like china figures.
