Fights
Coming Up!
Student council con.tiumu ajijiroved by a
ntudent vote of .141 to S. Which means that it
now goes into effect.
Having gone into ei'fcet, it brings up a few
problems.
Most important of these problem., perhaps,
is this: Just how powerful, in its supposed au
thority over the "subordinate" student groups,
is the council?
For iustauce. point 5 of the powers clause
gives the council power to "review all rulings
of-student bodies affecting the social conduct
and well being of the students." A. W. fc. board
provides practically the only code of rules reg
ulating the "social conduct"' of the studeut
body. The council apparently has power to
"review" all the A. W. S. board rules.
According to Webster's "ew International,
to review is to reconsider or to revise; in the
legal sense, to re-examine judicially, as a higher
court may review the proceedings of a lower
one. A reviewer, according to Webster, is a
reviser.
Hence in the accepted meaning of the word
we find a source of new powers for the Stu
dent council. If the members do not like an
A. W. S. board ruling, they may revise it.
Meaning that it shall not pass unless approved
by the Student council.
No cause for fights, especially, but we have
an idea that a few will arise. We have aji idea,
too, that the innocent term "review" was
slipped in unnoticed where the phrase "ap
prove or reject" would have resulted in whole
sale battle before this.
' "To have complete control of student pep
rallies, similar forms of pep demonstrations,
and student migrations" well, the council has
sort of bitten off a right large chunk. Probably
would have been better if the organization had
attempted to regulate the tides, or something
simple like that.
Rallies are hard as heck to start. And, once
started, it will take more than one Student
council to stop a good one. Only poor rallies
can be regulated at all, and a real demonstra
tion Home day would be appreciated ou this
monotonously indifferent campus.
Student migrations that must mean trips
to Kansas or Missouri. Would it be a student
migration, we wonder, if eight students started
out in one or two cars, with one or two gallons
no, that would be something else. A migra
tion must mean a group of students going
somewhere on a student special train. When
The mob gets on the train, the Student council
begins to control it. Well, the council prob
ably will do a pretty fair job of it, at that?
After all, if things go too far wrong, and
something or other causes the crowd to get out
of "control' as practiced among councils, the
members could say "That wasn't a student mi
gration. It was a bunch of the boys and girls
going to see a football game!"
'To conduct all student elections of general
university interest."
The whole campus was interested in discov
ering who had been elected president of Inno
cents for the next year. Should the Student
council have conducted the polling?
The indefinite language used in stating the
clause hag brought worried frowns to many a
student's forehead. Just what is an election
"of general university interest?" The council,
here again, has an opportunity to establish a
position of great authority, or of no power at
all, depending upon the wise or foolish inter
pretation it puts on the provisions of its new
constitution.
"To regulate and co-ordinate the activities
of general university interest of all student
organizations and groups."
When is a group?
When is an activity?
When is an activity of general university in
terest? Silly questions, aren't they? Yet the exact
status' of some "bunches" or ''societies'' would
indeed be bard to define. And application of
the power authorized in the clause awaits spe
cific interpretation of its phrasing.
"General university interest," used through
out the new constitution, is the point upon
which the whole future of the council will
hinge. Whether the organization becomes
powerful, as it rightly should be, will depend
Vfon the meaning read into that one phrase.
r
Of course, such problems will arise but in
frequently, it is true. Chances are that few
of them will ever arise, or at least arise in such
a fashion that they call for a careful decision,
upon which the future powers of the council
will rest. v
But after all precedent will be the thing.
The council must set a few precedents.
Then it will be established. Then it will take
its rightful position in the university world.
And setting the right precedents will be no
easy job.
"Dean F. Louise Hardin of the University of
Wisconsin sayn that college women are eight
times uh successful ns other women in adjust
ing themselves to married life. Yes, and they
get about eight times the practice!" Indiana
Daily Student.
Studeut gripes because janitors in libraries
make too much noise cleaning up the places.
Dut do you suppose the janitor, on the other
hand, likes to be annoyed by the continual bill
iug and cooing?
On May first, red flags flew from dormitor
ies at Columbia and at Wisconsin universities.
Wonder what would happen if someone tried
the practice at Nebraska?
Education
Or A Diploma?
Wabash college, at Crawfordsville. Indiana,
has shoved iuto the background "credit hour"
requirements, and has adopted the system of
"comprehensive examinations," to be given at
the end of the year to all candidates for de
grees. The idea being that once in a while an
educated man might be discovered who has
not taken Military Science 1 and 2, or English
4. And. wonder of wonders, such a man may
now claim his degree!
". . . At the end of his senior year the can
ili.lmi I'm- 1k bachelor's deirree shall pass a
comprehensive examination over the subject
matter of some one of the four divisions into
which the studies of tlyj college have been div-
ided. .
"The comprehensive examination in any divi
sion will normally be divided into three parts.
Each of the first two parts will be written, and
will require three hours of the candidate's time.
The third part, will be. oral. All three parts
will be given under tlie direction oi mi lutimj
.f th division. One of the two written examin
ations may be entirely upon one subject.
"These examinations given canumuies ior
decrees do not interfere with their regular
class work, and they will be expected to take
the final exams, if any, in their classes quite
as usual."
The adoption of such a plan will mean that
the semester hour requirement will be forced
into the background as a rather mechanical
feature of the scheme, while gaining and reten
tion of knowledge for the immediate purpose
of passing the comprehensive exams satisfac
torily will be foremost.
As the new curriculum begins "hitting on all
four" next year, it is probable that a new atti
tude will become prevalent upon the Wabash
rnmpns. it may we! be in all tour classes that
greater effort will be spent in actually fixing
important facts in the mind to be retained for
at least one to four years, rather than details
for a brief semester. The comprehensive exam
plan will do wonders, in all probability, to in
sure a good general knowledge of the courses
taken.
The new svstem thus places an effective
check on all individuals who desire the di
ploma without the education.
Its progress and success or tailure will be
watched with interest. If successful, it will
offer a means of avoiding many of the undesir
able features of present-day higher education.
A diploma, under the new plau, will quite evi
dently mean an education.
FACULTY MEN WILL TALK
Prof. H. J. Oramlich, W. W
Derrick Are Listed
On Program.
Two University of Nebraska
faculty members are to appear on
the program at the first annual
Feeder's day held at the North
Platte substation the latter part Of
this month. They are Prof. H. J.
Gramllch, head of the animal hus
bandry department, and W. W.
Derrick, state extension agent In
animal husbandry and until re
cently an instructor In the animal
husbandry department.
Derrick Is expected to talk on
the proposed co-operative creep
feeding tests which are to be run
in different portions of the state.
He Is expected to point out the ad
vantages of creep feeding the
calves while still sucking their
mother.
Appearing as one of the feature
speakers, Prof. Gramllch is to nave
charge of the question box period
in the program. He will probably
speak briefly upon the position of
livestock on the farm of today in
addition to answering questions
put to him by the hundreds of
feeders expected at the meeting.

Current Comment
College Romances.
One. of the most popular subjects for discus
sion is that nf "flroriincr vnnth." Pprhflns in no
- - j 1
other age has the younger generation been so
severely criticised as are the younger people
of today. It is the general concensus of opin
ion that we ate speeding down the road of
perdition. Judging from the articles appear
ing in the press and the heated sermons orig
inating in the pulpit, we are beyond salvation.
Newspapers take advantage of every "gin
orgy" to print screaming headlines. We are
constantly being admonished of our wayward
ness and wrong doings.
College men and women in particular have
recoi vwi the. brunt of these heated diatribes.
The average citizen has come to regard col
leges with the deepest suspicion aua orten hesi
tates in sending his children to an institution
of higher education. He is not in a position to
judge college life as it is and the exaggeraiea
mnvW fcntnrp articles, and sermons convince
him that college is just one week-end debacle
after anothre.
sitntiKticB have recently been published
which throw an interesting light on this bright

covered that while the general divorce rate has
increased until there is now one divorce for
every six marriages, the record of marriages
resulting from college romances show only one
divorce for every seventy-five couples.
It was also found that college men and
women marrv at later age than the average,
that college Vaduat?H bave elual advaitaSes
and have come to regard each other as intel
lectual equals. Most important, however, is
the fact that college boys and girls have the
opportunity to judge each other under many
conditions and over a long period.
If college courtships have thirteen timers the
chances for happiness that others have, con
ditions cannot possibly be as bad as they are
pictured. Figures of this nature give a truer
picture of college life than all the denounce
ments of the press and thunderiugs of the
church. Meanwhile the same exposures will be
made, the same invectives will make the air
blue, and the public will continue to fear for
the younger generation. Purdue Exponent.
ENDORSE INCREASE
OF STUDENT POWER
(Continued from Page 1.)
willingness to co-operate with their
governmental body, the council.
Representation Equal.
According to the constitution,
as approved by the student body,
representation to all bodies of any
considerable size is equalized, and
it clarifies the power of the coun
cil to deal with extra-curricular ac
tivities and all phases of student
government
The new organ, which goes into
effect immediately, will enlarge
the number of representatives to
be elected to twenty-nine, includ
ing the four holdover members.
This is four more members than
the body has previously had.
Perhaps the most radical depart
ure from precedent embodies in
Article three, the so called "Power
clause" of the constitution, is the
subdivision which gives the council
"complete control of student pep
rallies, similar forms of pep dem
onstrations, and student migrations."
This means that the regulations
as to football specials which have
previously been in the bands of
the faculty, will be regulated by
the council.
Administer Rules.
The election yesterday definite
ly settled whether or not students
shall have the power to legislate
on problems concerning them, and
came as a climax to almost a year
of work by the council to make the
document effective and at the
same time of such nature is to
meet with the approval of the
various bodies necessary before
Correction.
The Daily Nebraskan Incor
rectly stated In the Wednesday
Issue that the All-University
party would be held Friday. The
party Is scheduled for Saturday
night at the coliseum. Members
ef the Barb council premise a
"col" party since they plan to
use twenty-five tons of Ice both
for decoration and for a cooling
system. Red Krause's orchestra
will play for the party.
the issue could be presented to the
student body.
All political factions and women
students bad given the proposed
code of laws their approval before
the electioon, so that it's passage,
after the university senate's action
in approving it Tuesday, was vlr
tuallv assured.
Contrary to the hopes of some,
the constitution is not as radical
a departure from precedent, but it
nevertheless assures a representa
tive group to legislate on ail mat
ters of student import and allows
future governing: bodies to work
unhampered by doubt as to the de
finition of their powers.
Women Gain Power.
It goes into effect immediately,
so the general election Tuesday
will be operated under the new
code. Under the new provisions,
voting is by a system of propor
tional representation with a ratio
of one seat for every twenty-five
votes.
The strength of each faction will
be determined by the number of
those who have expressed their
preferences on the ballot, aand ap-
portionmnt of seats to the factions
will be proportional to the number
of vdtes cast for it.
An active part in the coming
election will be taken by women
students, who now have a total of
ten council positions to fill. This

Is an equal representation with
men, and under the new propor
tional system of seat allotment,
they may get even more.
Whichever way the election
Tuesday goes ,it Is believed by
student leaders and faculty mem
bers alike that a new and desirable
step toward more complete stu
dent government has been taken.
Chancellor E. A. Burnett, in a
recent statement on the new code,
expressed the belief that it will not
in anyway lead to conflict be
tween the council and the faculty,
and Prof. L. E. Aylsworth, mem
ber of the faculty committee whica
considered the document before its
presentation to the university sen
ate is highly in favor of the new
constitution.
