No, dear. Gadflies, von have pven Itirth to nothing more 1lian a fSnrnkinji Suspicion, and nave proceedi'ii to Kill mm wit Hour so much lis a proper lrinj;in;-up. Vour own eoiiiltU't has in it of late nothing of humor. You call names, from vour hiding pliices, wiili much the snme spirit as that of a miiiiII 1m iv, thumbing his nose at the hroad MACK of a cily patrolman. You are evidently cowards, as are all mental or physical hybrids. And what wilh your offspring worked to death, s 1 1 1 I iirosiiects for any healthv children nhvsi- ciilly impossible, you are dead and buried as far as this campus is concerneil. 1 1 is curtains for you, most august collection of skunks ! AT THE POLLS TODAY. Students will have an opportunity toil.-iv to approve or- reject ihe new constitution of the Student council. The constitution, the work of mouths of writing, rewriting, discussion, and coin pro mise, is far from perfect. It seems, how ever, to be the best that can be obtained, and it is obviously a grea. improvement over the old constitution. For these 'wo reasons, we urge its ailup lion by Mudeut voters iif the polls today. It is the first rung of the ladder on which the Nebraska Student council may some lay climb to a position of real rather than pretended authority. Slander Ho, Hum! Again, Failing to give birth to anything more voii hy of Hole than a Sneaking Suspicion, the Gadflies have completed the ignoble task of working their sole olfspring to death. Jiis de mise, pending for some lime, was announced hetwecu the lines in the last issue of "With Fire aud Sword.'1 released by the society Wednesday at ll a. in., and confiscated by the Jean of men at ll. 01 a. m. After two years of striving mightily to pre sent the gaping college world with two healthy wins. Proof aud Evidence, the weakling Sus licioti speaks poorly for the possibilities of the iadflies, past and present. As a further proof of their ability as par uts, the lodge members proceeded to kill he only child their misguided mentalities en dled them to beget. For, since his appearance last year in the irst issue of the scandal sheet, the poor off priug Suspicion has been working furiously, hough vainly, to uphold the position of his an cestors. As a natural result, his pulse became weak. His circulation languished. And now 'lis death conies as evolutionary revenge on '.he scandal mongers. Eugenics plays strange tricks. I sunlly. ihe uating of hybrids will produce progeny of astounding health. But the poor Gadflies, evi dently seeking to take advantage of this well known theory, were sadly and completely ditched. Hybrids produced nothing more nor 1 ss ihan one more hybrid. Such is life. " At the first 'Fire and Sword." the college v orid, astonished, sat up and took notice. True, there were no healthy twins, but there was that Sn aking Suspicion. . . At the second sheet, they looked again, to see if further natal progress had been made. Still no Proof or Evidence. . . At the ihird issue, they said "Do. hum: Well, we mighi at least take a look. They might be sent this time." They were not. At the fourth issue, they laughed, albeit a bit boretlly and disgustedly. Cannot these enter prising dishers of the dirt give us Proof or Evi deuce with which to startle the administra tion ?'' They evidently could not. and they cer lainly did not. At the present issue, they read between the lines of the deplorable death of the Sneaking Suspicion, hard-worked offspring of the freaks known as Gadflies. And still no Proof or Evi dence to replace the only child. . . The college today, dear Gadflies, is a bit fed up with your rubbish. It has looked to you too many times for something really good, for some hefllthv brain children, and has found litem not. The whole school, most decrepit members of a decadent lodge, has been sadly disap pointed in you. You may as well fold your tents and sneak away into the dark, dark night, for your efforts to convince have been as futile as have, of late, your unconscious attempts at humor. You arc a back number in a moving civilization, Gadflies, ad The future holds for you no hope beyond that of obliv ion. Your bow is in order. It is a human iustuict lo call bad names, of course. Particularly is it human nature to call names at persons just a hit more powerful, or more intelligent, than yourself. This perhaps might explain the motives for ihe first scauda! sheet. Again, it is quite in accord with human prac i ices" and tendencies to hate those whom you i.., i-tiini-i.il. t Alibou"h we fail to sec exactly in tiliflt U:1V the mentally deficient i. nvAim nlntie nersons of n able intelligence. Hence the continued calling of names. But. dear Has -P. ecus, you forgot in your na tural tendencies that your primarv purpose wax to amuse, to ridicule. You had no Proof or Evidence, hence you laughed your victims out of court this was to be your imxlc 1 iu ic. It was a dismal flop. Even Voltaire or Louis Quatorze could not assist vou to elevaie your deformed persons by yonr oVn boot-straps. Evidently, you knew not the laws of nature, or of physics, or of human motives and tendenc ies. Lurky Seniors! "The seniors certainly arc lucky, gelling all through with college while the rest of us have to come back to the same old grind next fall!" The winds are those of a junior, wearied and paiaed. who unburdened himself over his break j last cut fee before the rush to morning classes. The thought is that of many students in the ! three lower classes of the university. Any sin- (lent might express if. for to the average, the j present stale of affairs is unendurable. The fit , lure, of course, always is filled with v under. Hut what does the senior think? After four l years of a sheltered existence, where the cares : of the oiiiside world went for nil. he is to go ,oin into the business or professional world where he will offer his services and lake what tie- world will pay for them. Put w ill the average senior's services bring him an adeiuate reward, adequate as judged ! on the basis of the time he has spent in prepa ration for his career, adequate to enable him to live in "the style to which he has been accus tomed ' In all probability, the reward will not be adequate at first, and it will never be unless the average senior fortrets his college wavs in short order. Whether he was a B. M. O. C. here or whether he was an obscure student matters I little when he goes to apply for a job. I Ill-end aud buiter is going to be hard to earu j this year. Business conditions, as various au thorities have stated, are not as conducive to I hopes for a job as they have been in the past. I The senior must take whatever is offered him. j But the junior, the sophomore, and even the freshman remain here, with nothing to do but study. Eveu if they study longer than the ma-' jonty ol students, they still have ample oppor tunity to have a good time. Their cares are few; their wants are satisfied in the main by ihe monthly dole from home. Not ihe senior, but the junior, the sopho more, and the freshman are the lucky ones. They have some time left in the university, and whether it sounds trite or not, university days probably are the most carefree they will ever spend. When Hie matter is considered from the eco nomic standpoint, they are still the lucky ones, for by the time they are out of school, condi tions should be back to normal, aud the ob taining of a job will be greatly facilitated. MORNING MAIL More on Parking. TO THE EDITOR: What's the cause of all this here, now, 1y rainy? Seriously, how come the faculty drivers-of-cars. after being provided with more parking pace lhau ihey ever use on the drill field, area behind south of administration, and back of university halls, must be given the whole Chemistry hall? 1 don't kuovv w hy in heck they wanted it, in the first place. They don't use half the space they already had. In addition to all this, many of iliein come down to school early in the morning, and use up the student parking spaces on Twelfth or on K streets. Why in ihe (censored) they ueed the whole I campus, just in order to be able to park liere one day and there the next, is more than I can see. I've been late to my nine o'clock classes for two weeks straight, and have paid "overtime parking" lines amounting to almost twenty dollars since I've been in this school, all on ac count of ihe neglect of somebody or other to prov ide student parking space. If the persons in charge would refund my money every time I paid a fine, it wouldn't be so bad. As a matter of fact, ihey don't seem inclined to do anything at all about it. J. B. W. Current Comment ladllics asou- Help! Help! Help! At last a really significant student demonstra tion in one of our American institutions of higher learning, and our faith in the colleges is restored. The students of St. Lawrence uni versity, incensed at the calling off of the upper-class "paddling bee" for freshmen, pre sented an ultimatum demandig the extension of time for parties until 2:30 a. in. aud the abolition of a ruling "forbidding the parking of : iris on fraternity porches during the day time." and threatening, if these demands were not complied wilh, to call a strike "against all cxira-cuiricular activities." Here are real is sues and a threat of real action. Let those who despair or American students note the incident and take courage; for the spirit of lx'tngton j and Bunker Hill is not dead. Consider a strike l.-iL'ainsi all extra curricular activities with the I baseball season caring its culmination and out idoor theatricals and commencement festivities ! approaching: The blood in the sno"w at Valley i Forge becomes pale pink by comparison, and Gandhi's nou resistance movement in India i appears like a Sunday-school picnic.

STATE CREAMERY SESSION OPENS (Continued from Page 1.) Job more efficiently than the other competing agencies thru the view point of the patrons," declared H. D. Kllley In speaking on the morn ing: program. Prof. Fllley said no co-operative can hope to fix prices without con trol of production. He said monop oly without control of production Is but an idle dream. The college of agriculture man characterized monopoly and co-operation as die tant things. The rural economist declared the first essential of a successful co- poet atlve is that it must co-operate. He said there must be a limit on the dividends paid to patrons while the business must be on a cash basis. He urged the cream erynient to leave the membership open to all who wished to Join the organization. As a representative of the fed eral farm board, B. B. Derrick dis cussed the value of a marketing organizations. He said the well managed co-operative has a' place in this period of readjustment of production. Derrick maintained that 'he need for the co-operatives is now greater than ever before. The federal farm board has not attempted to set up a national marketing agency for butter or milk products but Is only strength ening present organizations, Der rick said, Eventually though a na tional organization may be put into operation, he concluded. Speaking on the Iowa state brand of butter and Iowa co-operatives, Prof. M. M. Mortensen, head of the dairy department at the Iowa State college, said the great est need of creameries in Nebraska today is co-operation. He urged the creameries to work together and with the college of agriculture. Professor Mortensen said the dairy industry must economize in production, manufacturing a n marketing in order to continue to be a successful enterprise. He con trasted the quality production acmeved in Denmark with that in this country. The average cow in Denmark produces from 2150 to 300 pounds of butterfat annually while the average cow In the United States produces but lftO to 160 pounds, he said. The Iowa man said the difference In manufactur lng costs Is negligible. E. L. Relchart, assistant profes sor of dairy husbandry at the agri cultural college, denounced the plan of paying creamery managers by the volume of business. He spoke on suggestions for Nebraska creameries. Relchart said the plan or paying tne manager and butter maker by a salary plus a bonus is mucn more successful. Though some creameries over the state have considered reducing the sal ary of the managers now due to low prices, the college of agricul ture man advocated that thev keeD the good man on the job. me convention will close Thurs day with a meeting at the Lincoln hotel. Wednesday evening- the an nual banquet was held at the Lin coln. George O'Malley acted as toastmaster. Fred Coe of Ord is president of the state association. Werkmeister of the philosophy de partment will speak at Royal, Tuesday, May 18 and at Wisner, May 22, on the subject of "A Chal lenge to Western Civilization," a critical analysis dealing with con ditions In Russia. DESTINY OF SELF GOVERNMENT TO BE KNOWN TODAY (Continued from Page 1.) work in putting the new constitu tion across. Yet at the same time women members have served on the constitution committee and the leaders of the women's organiza tions outside the council have co operated admirably In getting the new document before the student body. Implies Concessions. It is understood that the pass age of the constitution may lm ply slight concessions on the part of smaller campus organizations. These concessions have been very freely granted by several impor. tant men and women's groups in the interesti of greater Belf gov ernment for the student body as a whole. It has been hoped by leaders of the new constitution movement that a large ballot will be recorded at the polls today in order that the Student council may feel that it has cnmnlete simnort of the stu dent body and may act according. ty. in me exercise or ineir new powers next year they will feel thlr rpsnonsihilitv stronger if n big polling Indicates whole heart ed student confidence.
