Come the Politicians Omni lhi politicians, now. to i" i 1 iipp'-al against the fiction of the eieetion committee in calling "illegal" the distributing of printed liatnlliills in ml effort to elect liarh candidates to Student council positions. Says Williams, Barb brainstonncr, "Tiny cannot call our handbills illegal. And, to add the ciwening touch, tiny had no legal right to 'recommend that two Barbs be given seats in i lie council,' if the bills were illegal." Evidently he docs not .seek the election of Barb Student council representatives, unless that election is recognized as legal and above board. "In the ilr.vt place," he says. "The new con stitution declares specifically that it is to sup ersede the old document, printed on pages til) to To of the University Oatalng. These pages include the old election rules." We fail to find any such specific declaration in any part of the liew constitution. Evidently it supersedes nothing more than the old one, together v.ith such portions uf the by-laws w ith which it may conflict. The new constitution logically replaces the obi. Logically, too, its provisions supersede such portions of the by-laws which contradict it. And logically as well as legally, the code of !;. -laws, or such portions of that code as are not contradictory, still hold. I'nder the old but still valid code of Election ;t.!cs. it is illegal to spend any money on be liah' of any candidates. There is no word to repeal this clause in the new constitution. It T j i 1 remains as a valid regulation. There is no room for doubt. The Barb hand ''.IK were illeiral. In iis effort to secure fair representation for e.vli portion of the student body, the council i-ciioii committee voted lo ''recommend that the Barb candidates (two of them) be seated in the now council," in spite of the unlawful p- nditures iisfd in attracting votes for them. 'I bat ilii.s gesture was a laudable one, and gen erous to an extreme, is admitted. But Wil li,in: is right: The committee had no author ity to make it. If the Barb faction, by printing handbills, v, as aeting illegally (as all the facts seem to indicate it was; ihe council cannot, honor its oting strength. One of two things may be done. Either the Barb tactics (or rather the tactics of their unofficial adviser and counseler1 must be de clared bgal and two of the candidates seated, or cNe they must be declared illegal and none of fhiir candidates seated. As far as accepted legislative practice noes, and following the ebction rules for student voiing upon this campus, ihe I'arb faction's andidat.es must be rub-d ut. It is loo had. and had not the iioii-fiaternity group's unofficial promoter been stricken with a -cere attack of "coup d'etat." would never have happened. Hut i' did happen, and now tin- blow must fail upon their n heads. And Low, says Williams, the Barb faction .till sue us for libel if the Senate decides the handbills were legal! Well, maybe the "un ofticial adviser" f the faction cannot speak lor the group as a whole. We hope Hot. Any way, this is editorial comment, and comment v. will ! Cornell and Ohio Fall Into Line. Faculties of two of the largest land-grunt colleges, Cornell and Ohio state university, voted recently to make military drill upon their campuses elective rather than compul sory. The vote at Cornell was 81 to 38. Cor nell, with the fifth college U. O. T. C. unit in size, had, in 11128, 42 men detailed for military instruction. The government (War Depart ment) spent more, than $150,000 during the year J!)2!)-30 for training of cadet officers. A twenty-three page report on "compulsory military training at Cornell" was made last winter by an unofficial committee of students. "Compulsory drill in college is un-American eonseriplion of a few," said the report. "It is inconsistent with the ideals of a country which has refused to accept compulsory training for all its citizens." Ohio state had the largest H. U. T. C. unit in the country, with ;i,:580 men in compulsory courses and ;5o6 in optional courses. For such truining. .1(208,320.00 was spent during l!2U-30, to pay for the o2 instructors detailed by the War Department. Vet the faculty of Ihjs in stitution also voted to make military science optional rather than compulsory, by a majority of 83 to 7(1. Protests and petitions at Ohio state, have been , c,ul) t refiuent since Wzo. A threatened strike was called ott only on t ureal oi expulsion tit iih-i student leaders. A mass meeting declared "It! is inconsistent with the spirit of the Kellogg; Pact for our State University to compel stu dents to think and train for war." Within the past five years, 23 educational in stitutions have abolished compulsory military training. At the University of California, Los Angeles, more than 2.000 students have signed a petition to make drill optional. How soon v ill Nebraska fall into line behind the leaders' POSTPONES BANQUET Annual Affair Is Put Off One Week Because of Other Events.

TO THE EDITOI? : Your "so-called" reporter is completely and utterly squelched annihilated as the ancient Trojans might have put it. Further than that it might be added and explained that "the so called observer" has no apologies to make. The story which aroused such righteous in dignation and practically unutterable con tempt at the hands of Mr. "Wolf was printed with absolutely no thought of party bias. It was one-sided in that there was no other side to present. The only controversial element in the whole story rested on the repudiation of the Blue Shirts for not erecting the perma nent class memorial which they had promised. The charge is made that Yellow Jackets played a "sour grape" role. Could it be ex pected when the platform was drawn up that the Yellow Jackets would become unduly be nevolent in helping the Blue Shirts to carry out a platform pledge? All things being equal it certainly would seem as though a party which, as told to sorori ties at the Monday serenade, "brought twelve thirty nights, brought back the Awgwan. and gave women equal representation" should be able to erect a class memorial without Yellow Jacket aid. But this letter is becoming parti san and does not explain the mooted "Story which flagrantly violated a newspaper's fair ness." Sincerely, there was no thought on the part of the "unfair reporter" that the article would help elect any particular candidate or faction. The story was written because of its inherent news value. It was personally solicited from Xeal f-i onion, Yellow Jacket president, because it is practically unprecedented in late years for a fraternity faction to appear without a platform. There was nothing in the story which indicated 1 hat Yellow jacket candidates wore better than Blue Shirt candidates. There was no part of th story wherein Mr. Oomon said. "h should appreciate support from ihe voters at the polls." There is nothing inure to ssv. "The ob server" wrote the story without thought of "jnlvertisiiiK." He is now "on the spot," fig uratively, tor a so-called journalistic blunder. II is entirely li i domes, not Hie etnior s, the j iiiiiiui'inc editor's or the i,iews editors. And llhere are still "no apolocien to make." .IACK KIUCKSOX, The Observer. The Ccntlfinan from California.

TO THE EDITOR: The great, political organisation on the campus should have, been satisfied yesterday with winning all of the major offices on the ticket. But they just couldn't ee oine "wild horse" party infringe upon their infallable lights of governing student affairs, and it hurt their tender feedings to think that such a corrupt and lowly organization could pool so many votes. Like the selfish, tender-eon-seii need monarch of old they must have their poor, hurt feelings avenged, by fair means or foul. And since there were no fair means, they of course used foul, for nothing must stand jn Ihe way of .soothing their tender conscience. So the oles were thrown out because the fac tion had so obnoxiously violated one of the rules of fair play in the Utile, catalogue, and for other personal reasons too numerous to mention. To show legal foundation for llieir powerful decision, the election committee, de clared that the new constitution, now in ef fect, does not void the rules in the old cata logue. But the president Mas extremely sorry, and regretted tho fact that he bad lo take such h step to promote Justice, but it was the, only way to further honesty, and since bo is no ex treamly honest he just had to do it. So h tprcad thick the "soothing salv of politic" ond assured the boys that he would do all in his power to see that they get their proper representation, for which Mr. Kelly, we thanJc thee. We unorganized and lowly fellows, whfc don't understand the doings of the great aociil and intellectual onos, go meekly about our daily t.i ks thinking: "Is it any wonder that the politics of our national governnicut are so corrupt, when Ihe seeds of corruption are sown in the polities of our universities ami col lege'" is ID.

ORCHESIS PRESENTS SIXTH DANCE DRAMA (Continued from Page 1.) organization, and the latter was an inerpretation of a mood. After a short intermission, the program was resumed with a num ber entitled Dynamics. With only tbu drum and tbe cymbal as ac companiment, this group of girls portrayed the passing; of electrons from one to the other with per fect rhythm and co-ordination. The design and execution were excel lent and accounted for the impres sion which the number made on the audience. After the Hungarian Dance, which was a delightful contrast from Dynamics, comedy was pre sented in the form of Army Life. This brought hearty laughter and applause from tbe audience as the "soldiers" got up, mounted their "horses." drilled, and after a day's work, went to bed again. Continuing in the comedy spirit was i number entitled Gossip; then Parasols and Umbrellas. Many types of people were repreented in the latter number, and the actions of the dancers were truly charac teristic. Improssiont Nxt.

Head of Rural Economics At Ag Cites Views On Situation. Steady to firm com prices are r,..,iif.rn',i f.ir Xnhrnska farmers In fthe next thirty days by the eco- nomic situation report rs ihnuci from the agricultural college to day oy Prof. Harold Hedges of the rural economics department. Fat cattle prices will probably be firm, egg prices may change but little, cash wheat prices will probably remain at present levels while rioult.iv Diices will remain ..... , , steady, according; 10 i-ilhikcm. hi au dition his report indicates that further weakness in hog prices and steady or a little lower butter prices may prevail during the pe riod. With continued suppoit of old crop prices by the Grain Stabiliza tion corporation, cash wheat prices will probably remain close to pres ent levels. The economic situation report says the condition of winter wheat continues excellent. I nc acreage of spring wheat in the i United State, however, has been substantially" reduced but this is! more than offset by the favorable J condition of the winter wheat. ; Crops to be Price Factor. Predicting steady to firm prices for corn in the next thirty clays, j Hedges says the new crop progress , will become increasingly a price factor. Weather conditions have delayed planting somewliRt but not 'seriously as vet. The adjust-1 ment of wheat prices from the stabilized old crop basis to a prob able iower new crop price level will tend to weaken corn prices within the next sixty days. With hog prices usually working lower from May to June, Nebraska farmers are told that they may ex pect further weakness in hog prices in the next thirty days. In eleven of the past fifteen years the June average for hogs at Chi cago has been lower than the May price. Slack demand, both domes tic and foreign, and the weakness of the general price level will work against price improvement until there is a definite setup In market, ings which is not likely to occur t.t. cmiaral U'Pekft. Fat cattle prices should develop more firmness before the end ot the period, Hedges predicts. A sea sonal strengthening in prices for finished cattle usually is in evi dence from May to June, he says in backing up his statement. Re ports of the number of cattle on feed and figures on the number of cattle shipped to cornbelt feedlots since last fall have indicated de creases in the number of cattle In feedlots. Prices Have Weakened. Nebraska farmers will probably receive present prices or slightly lower for their butter in the next thirty days, the monthly predic tion indicates. Prices have weak ened more often than they have advanced from May to June in the past years. Production is increas ing seasonally with the pasture season beginning shnwinir that in the past twen ty-tine years the June average price for fresh eggs in New York has been oeiow me may eleven times, Hedges says there may be but little change in egg prices during the period. Egg pro duction continues heavy despite the report of fewer hens on farms. Poultrymen may find their poultry will bring steady to firm prices in the next thirty days. The o,,ni nrirp trpn.l is onward from May to June and the storage situ ation continues favorable. Kpwotih I-oajjin Plans Piigrant Presentation The Epworth league ot the Ep worth M.
