Council Head Selects Ten
To Study Political
Realignment.
INNOCENTS TAKE 'LEAD
Thursday's Move Follows
Recommendation by
Honorary.
Appointment of a committee of
ten to investigate the possibilities
of political realignment on the
campus in an effort to arouse
greater Interest in extra-curricular
activities was announced yesterday
by Dick Devereaux, president of
the Innocents society, and Edwin
Faulkner, president of the Student
council.
The committee, as recommended
to the student council, consists of
Innocents: Arthur Wolf, William
McGaffin, and Richard Bell; mem
bers of the' student council Phil
Brownell and Willard Hedge; fac
tion presidents William Dever
aux, Otis Detrck, and Delphian
Nash; and faculty members Pro
fessors E, W. Lantz and E. F.
Schramm.
Action on the question has arisen
from the evident decline among
students interest in thevarious
campus activities. A meeting of
Innocents society recently to dis
cuss the problem.
Sift Many Causes.
Seven probable causes of the sit
uation were brought out and em
phasized at the meeting. They
were the unbalanced political
alignment women not represented
in the activities which men dom
inate, lack of knowledge concern
ing student activities, failure of
fraternities and barbs to co-operate,
lack of students working on
student activities, activities placed
in the hands of too few individuals,
and lack of an organization with
which to cope with the large stu
dent body.
The committee of ten to deal
with the problem of political align
ments, generaly agreed to be the
main contributing cause to the
stagnation of student activities,
was recommended in the report of
a special committee to the student
council Wednesday. The commit
tee was composed of Arthur Wolf,
Edwin Faulkner, and William Mc
Gaffin. Report Cited.
The report of the committee rel
ative to the political problem was
the main difficulty brought out in
the meeting seemed to be the un
balanced political alignment. This
situation is deep seated and noth
ing can be done about it without
first investigating it seriously. For
this purpose the committee recom
mends that a committee of ten to
carry out this investigation. This
committee is to be composed of
three members of the Innocents
society, two members of the stu
dent council, the three faction
presidents, and two faculty mem
bers, namely Mr. Lantz and Mr.
Schramm.
The committee as appointed,
contains representatives of all po
litical Interests. It will make a de
tailed study of the problem from
every angle, considering every
thing Impartially, and will make a
report to the student council as
soon as possible.

Novel decorations are being
planned by the committee. Cen
tering about the theme of St. Pat
rick's day, a green and white color

converging over the orchestra plat
form in the center or tne iioor,
stated George. Thomas, In charge
of decorations.
A new arrangement in the loca
tion of the orchestra will be insti
tuted Saturday night, according to
Nash. In the past with the band
at one side of the floor, music was
faint in the far corners. "This new
arrangement will work for the im
provement of the party," Nash
said, "and the effect of the over
head decorations with the St. Pat
rick's color atmosphere will work
for an ideal party setting."
Eddie Jungbluth and his twelve
piece orchestra has been secured
to furnish the music. The orches
tra has entertainers in its per
sonnel and has special novelty
numbers worked up for the week
end affair, according to Jungbluth.
Tickets for the party may be se

Dancing starts at 8:30.
'Tit a Sad Day for
F ungi Now That Dr.
Walker Knous All
The small but mighty fungi,
enemy of plant and man alike, has
been emphatically squelched by
Dr. L. B. Walker, associate pro
fessor of botany at Nebraska uni
versity. Dr. Walker dealt a death
blow to the whole fungi family
when the results of her experi
ments were published as a treatise
called "Mycologia."
How to stop the fungi from
spreading little "fungis" all around
that was I n e question ur.
Walker undertook to solve. She
made a very interesting discovery
in the little laboratory in Bessey
hall. A fungus is only a few milli
meters in size, and yet it is capable
of hurling its spore, or reproduc
tive orjran. over fourteen feet high
into the air.
Food Turns to Sugar.
Through her investigations, Dr.
Walker determined that the lowly
fungus was so powerful because
when the food stored within it
turned to sugar, a great .amount
of osmotic pressure resulted. The
election of the spore into tne air
is the most vital part of reproduc
tion. Woe to the fungi now that Dr.
Walker has found their vulnerable
spot! After her discovery of the
where, when and how of the most
important phase of reproduction
there remained only the task of
finding sprays and chemical plants
to apply to the offending plants.
Dr. Walker s research worK is
of considerable economic impor
tance as the type of fungi with
which she experimented attacks
plants causing serious damage and
heavy losses. At present sne is
concluding a two year experiment
with another member of the fun
gus family.

COMMITTEE APPOINTED
Varsity Debaters to Be

Feeling that enough Interest has
been shown in intramural debate,
Delta Sigma Rho, national forensic
honorary, has made plans to go
ahead and establish debate as a
part of the intramural program at
Nebraska. A meeting was held by
the honorary fraternity Wednes
day night and recommendations
were made by the group, ana a
committee appointed to investigate
the situation and to take steps
toward the establishment of the
program -'. .
The Daily Nebraskan has en
deavored during the last few
weeks to feel out student senti
ment and to determine the amount
of interest that has been shown.'
"We feel that debating should be
made part of the intramural pro
gram if it is possible and that the
intramural point system of awards
should include debate if enough in
terest is shown. The success of the
plan depends upon the support of
campus organizations. We are
planning to select a live campus is
sue that is germane to every stu
dent." Walter Huber, president,
said on behalf of the organization.
The recommendations of Delta

Juvenile Court Head Speaks
To University League
Of Women Voters.
464 CASES LAST YEAR
"I believe the movies are di
rectly responsible for many adoles
cent delinquencies," said Mrs. W.
M. Morning; head probation officer
of the Lincoln juvenile court, in a
talk to the university League of
Women Voters at the meeting
Thursday afternoon. "Theft in
girls, particularly, can be directly
traced to the finery they have seen
in the shows. They learn there a
false sense of standards."
Mrs. Morning touched on the
history of juvenile court develop
ment, tracing the different meth
ods of dealing with delinquent
children from the time of wasn
ington, when a young woman was
hanged for stealing a piece of
cloth, to the present time, when a
special court system utilizes the
best knowledge of psychology in
dealing with the individuals.
The machinery of the children's
court was described in detail. In
speaking of it Mrs. Morning said,
"The council table was originally
the breakfast or dinner table. This
is much the arrangement of the
juvenile court Everyone is seated
around a table and discussion
lakes place very Informally."
Boys Cases Numerous.
The records of the Lincoln
juvenile court for last year indi
cate that 461 cases were brought
into" court: 312 "BT these were boys
and 152 were girls. Of this num
ber, 202 cases were proved de
linauencies. 201 of these were
boys and sixty-one were girls.

Students at Montana State have
two representatives on the athletic
board of control, Roberts' letter
renrta The two are the commis
sioner of athletics, elected by the
students, and the student manager
of the SDort in Question, elected by
the members of the council.
The student members of the
board, two out of six, have equal
voting power with the other mem
hem. The board in all action is re
sponsible to the student senate
providing that action aeais wnn
any athletic subject mat is sup
nnhteri1 hv the students and must
submit its constitution to the stu

The representation or me stu
dent bodv on this board has riven
the students a control over and a
larger interest in athletics from a
business standpoint," Roberts
stated in his letter. "It also af
fords the faculty in charge of
physical education an opportunity
to be in contact with the opinions
and plans of the student body
through its student senate govern

Two-Fflfths At Oregon State.
Two-fifths of the members of
the athletic committee at Oregon

student body, according to Milton
Irishman, nresident of the Asso

At Oregon State, the athletic
committee functions as a sub-committee
of the board of control,
composed of five-ninths students,
which regulates all campus activi
ties. Power of the student mem
bers on the athletic committee is
equal to that of the faculty and
alumni members in an mauers.
"It seems that these students

better than lr everytning is more

N ATHLETIC CONTRO
SCOIT DOES NOT
OPPOSE STUDENT
SPORT BOARD
Chairman of Body Believes
Matter Rests in Hands
Of Regents.
INTEREST IS FINANCES
Group Is in Largest Measure
Financial; Little to Do
With Policies.
"I sec no objection to student
representation on the athletic
board of control," Professor R. D.
Scott, chairman of the athletic
board, stated to a representative
of the Daily Nebraskan yesterday
afternoon.
"I can see no great disadvantage
to the plan of student representa
tion on the board, nor do I see any
great advantage in it," Professor
Scott continued. "After all. the
matter rests entirely in the hands
of the board of regents."
Professor Soott explained- tha;
the present board of control was in
the largest measure a financial
body. It has very little to do with
the definition of athletic policies,
and practically its only activity is
concerned with the finances of ath
letics.
The athletic board at the present
time could not agree to or deny
students representation on the
board, Professor Scott stated. Tha
board was created by the board of
regents of the university and is
responsible to that body for all of
its actions.
Regents Must Act.
If the student body is to be rep
resented on the athletic board of
control, such representation must
come about through some action
of the board of regents, according
to Professor Scott. The matter U
entirely out of the hands of the
athletic board.
The present athletic board of
control was created and estab
lished by the board of regents
about ten or twelve years ago. Be
fore that time, there was no ath
letic board, except one which ex
isted prior to the war, a large and
unwieldy group.
During the time there was no
athletic board, all matters relating
to athletics were regulated and
controlled by the director of athle
tics, who was appointed by the
board of regents and had full con
trol of the athletic department of
the unversity.
Board Failure.
The athletic board. which existed
seventeen or eighteen years ago
was an entire failure, according to
Professor Scott. It was composed
of members of the faculty, students
of the university, and alumni of
the university. The reason for the
failure of the board, Professor
Scott stated, was that it took the
control out of the hands of the
faculty and placed it in the hands
of the alumni and students.
"The matter of the provision for
student representatives on the ath
letic board, since it would have to
do with the reconstruction of the
board itself, would have to be left
entirely to the board of regents,"
Professor Scot stated. "The ath
letic board would be powerless to
