LEADERS ARE ESSENTIAL
"There is absolutely no hope of

large companies and put it into the
hands of the people," Howard Wil

in an attempt to help the working
masses organize themselves to
fight capitalism by means of the
ballot box, told a group of students
in the Temple Wednesday after

of Minnesota university and has

student council to take the ini
tiative in party realignment came
upon ue suggestion oi a com
mittee of the Innocents society
that has been investigating con
ditions since the activities confer
ence held two weeks ago.
Arthur Wolf, chairman of the
Innocents committee, made the
report to the student council and
recommended that body take ! the
initiative in launching the investi
gation. -The committee that will be
appointed in the. near future will
consist of ten persons. It will be.
composed of three members of the
Innocents society, two members of
the student council, the three fac
tion presidents and two faculty
members.
Lack of organization on the part
of the barbs was named as the
cause of the lack of non-fraternity
participation in student activities.
Issuance of a pamphlet for in
coming freshmen to acquaint them
with activities in the university
was recommended in the report.
Wolf stated he has corresponded
with a number of schools that have
such a system. It was also sug
gested that the informatory mate
rial be printed in the N book, is
sued each year.
Objection Raised.
An objection was made by Bere
neice Hoffman to point number
two of the report dealing with
women's participation in activities,
on the grounds that women have
no desire to work in the activities
that are dominated by men and
that student publications should be
open to both men and women.
The result of the investigation
will be reported to the student
council in tne near ruiure. ine
dawn of a new political era at the
TTntvprsitv nf Nebraska was seen
as a possibility by members of the
student council wno teei mat pon
tics should be fair and that the
factions should have an equal
opportunity of electing their men.
Following is the report that
Wolf, chairman of the committee
appointed by the Innocents, made
at the student council meeting.
The same report has been sent out
in letter form to all of the organ
izations on the campus.
TO ALL ORGANIZATIONS:
' At the first meeting called by
the Innocents society to discuss
the lack of interest in student
activitiet, seven points were
brought out by the assembly as
the principal reasons for this
lack of interest.
These points are enumerated
as follows: 1. The unbalanced
