Every Student Must
Make a Decision.
AN intensive campaign to in
form every student on the
campus as to just what the activ
ity tax is will be undertaken by
the Daily Nebraskan from now on
until the matter is brought to a
vote of the entire student body.
Prior to beginning this campaign,
the Nebraskan wishes to urge
every student to really give the
matter some thought so that he
may be able to vote intelligently
as to whether the plan should or
should not be adopted on this
campus.
The Nebraskan is wholehearted
ly in favor of the plan. Its edi
torial comment will attempt to
emphasize the advantages to be
derived from the adoption of the
plan at Nebraska university. But
the Nebraskan recognizes the fact
that many students may be op
posed to having a tax of $4.00 a
semester imposed upon them, in
asmuch as they are finding it ex
tremely difficult to make both
ends meet as it is.
Consequently, the Nebraskan
takes this opportunity, at the be
ginning, to point out what the
plan will mean financially to
every student in case it is adopted,
and to urge those who are opposed
to bespeak themselves now and at
the time when the plan is voted
upon by the student body. The tax
will have no chance of being ap
proved by the board of regents un
less the student body overwhelm
ingly approves.
There are a number qf students
w ho have never purchased a Coin
husker, nor subscribed to the
Awgwan or Daily Nebraskan.
Many of these students are sim
ply uninterested. Others are fi
nancially unable to afford these
"extras" when they are using
every penny to buy bare essen
tials. These students must make
up their minds about the idea of
the activity tax, and if they are
opposed to it, must so register
themselves at the election.
rTHE Nebraskan feels that the
plan will make possible the
enjoyment of these "extras" by
Ktjdents who have never realized
their advantages before. The low
price will enable many more to
take advantage of these opportu
nities. The Nebraskan will press these
advantages later in a series of
news stories and editorials. Right
now it wants to emphasize that
the plan contemplates the compul
sory taxation of every student, un
less granted special exemption, the
Fum of $4.00 per semester. This
fact must be weighed against the
advantages.
The student council, which is
.sponsoring the plan, is supposedly
a representative bod3'. It has no
tting on the student body, v. hich J
the student body does not want
The council is recommending the
activity tax because it believes the
student body should have the
chance to approve or disapprove.
The council feels that the plan is
one which should be adopted at
Nebraska because of its many ad
vantages. The Nebraskan believes the
rouncil has formulated a desirable
scheme. We should like to see the
student body vote overwhelmingly
in favor of it. But we want the
plan thoroly understood and we
want the vote to be a true indica
tion of student opinion.
Another Example of
The Organization Mania.
I MONG the records of achieve-
ment which some students
pile up while in university is the
record of belonging to as many
organizations as possible. The
campus affords innumerable op
portunities for the "joiner." Every
where he turns he finds a club
which he can belong to if he is
willing to pay out some specified
amount of money. And in his sen
ior year, the yearbook will carry
under his picture and name, a
most imposing list of societies in
which he claims membership.
A large proportion of the organ
izations on this campus are so
innocuous that little can be said
against them. Many of them of
course have useful purposes. But
there are some societies which not
only have no definite purpose to
fulfill, but fail to even provide a
common interest for the members,
and which are actually nothing
but incipient rackets. At one time
in the history of campus activities,
these organizations were numer
ous. In time they became such
pernicious institutions, and the po
litical skullduggery which grew
out of them created such a stench,
that they were abolished.
Those organizations were the
well known class honoraries, which
were created innocently enough as
a result, no doubt, of some per
son's mania for organizing organi
zations. But they became pure
and simple rackets, dummy soci
eties, used to further the political
ambitions of certain of their mem
bers. M BODYING all the evils of the
- functionless society and the
incipient racket, groups which jus
tify their existence on the basip
of vague phrases as to their pur
pose, the Freshmen Kernels, an
embryo organization, knocked yes
terday at the door of the student
council requesting recognition. The
council wisely refused such recog
nition. The objects of the Kernels' or
ganization are listed in their pro
posed constitution as follows: "1.
To acquaint freshmen thru their
representatives of the activities
which should concern them. 2. To
promote social gatherings among
the freshmen, such as smokers,
etc. 3. To encourage scholarship
as stated in Article IV. 4. To aid
in projects by which the freshman
class would benefit." Article IV,
dealing with the "encouragement
of scholarship," declares that
"members shall be chosen by the
lespective fraternities, one from
each. Eligibility shall consist of
keeping up with the respective
averages of the fraternities."
The magnitude of the task fac
ing the Kernels in accomplishing
their purpose was staggering.
Their high aims in th field of pro
motion of scholastic endeavor,
namely the maintenance of a 72
percent average, (which they have
to maintain anyway) also over
whelms us. Clearly, the society was
another proposed racket, another
nOxious growth in the already
overcrowded weed bed of campus
organizations.
The Kernels proposed to meet
every week. The constitution of
the organization provided for an
election of officers every fourth
week. Apparently nearly every
member would have been an offi
cer at some time or another, and
the organization would at least
have had some business to trans
act one meeting out of every four.
To further insure that the group
would have some business to jus
tify its existence, the constitution
provided that "every member of
this organization must make at
least one motion, or discuss some
measure to its completion, or serve
on one committee."
READING between the lines of
the constitution is was evident
that the Kernels was nothing more
than a further attempt to set up a
dummy society to give recognition
to ambitious hopefuls of various
fraternities. In other words, it was
to be just a stepping stone to other
campus "honors."
The student council already this
year had inverted its thumbs in
the case of the sophomore vigi
lance committee, a proposed or
ganization for the enforcement of
the wearing of freshmen caps
That group was organized on a
basis similar to the Kernels. There
was, in reality, more justification
for the sophomore group than can
possibly be seen in the Freshmen
Kernels.
In view of the fact that the
campus already teems with use
less organizations, and in consid
eration of the experience in the
past with organizations made up
of representatives of Greek letter
houses purporting to be class soci
eties, and inasmuch as the consti
tution of the Kernels is so evi
dently a farce, the Nebraskan
was pleased that the student coun
cil saw fit to put this Infant so
ciety to death. Denying existence
to such a nitwit association must
have been a, pleasure as well as a
duty.
SENATE FAVORS
BRYAN BUDGET
(Continued from Page 1.)
tion to Chairman Callan, yester
day, in which he restated the po
sition of the board of regents in
opposition to the house cuts, in
which he discusses the proposals
and stated that the house reduc
tions would seriously cripple the
institution, teachers would have to
be discharged, departments elimi
nated, certain activities ended and
many valuable instructors lost.
Regent Cline urgently requested
that the Bryan budget be adopted.
Appear Before Committee. .
Earlier in the week Chancellor
Burnett, Regent Earl Cline and Fi
nance Secretary Gunderson of the
university, appeared before the
senate finance committee to urge
that body to accept the Bryan rec
ommendation for the university.
At the meeting it was pointed
out by the university representa
tives that the house had evidently
overlooked the fact that the uni
versity's cash and federal revenue
had decreased $545,000. They also
pointed out the serious difficulties
that the university would encoun
ter if the house recommendations
were accepted.
Chairman Callan also pointed
out at the time, that the senate
was not interested in the salaries
of the university instructors, but
had definitely left that up to the
board of regents.

This Association Says
Worker in China.
Miss Lelia M. Hinkley who is
on the foreign field staff of the na
tional board of the Y. W. C A
has recently made an interesting
statement in connection with her
work in China. Following is the
quotation in full:
"The most outstanding phenom
enon of the work in China to me is
the crowing faith of the people in
the Y. W. C. A. The boards of
Directors are made up of attrac
tive, capable, socially minded
Chinese women, who believe so
thoroughly in the work they are
doing that they are willing to ex
pend any amount of time and ef
fort to bring it to pass.
"Any problem in the city which
concerns women is brought to the
door of the Y. W. Church, police,
schools, turn to this association.
The government's faith was dem
onstrated in 1931 when the Na
tional Flood Relief commission
asked the Y. W. C. A. to take full
responsibility for one of the three
concentration camps in the Han
kow district where over 9,000
refugees were cared for."
Before going to China Miss
Hinkley was Girl's Work Secretary
in the Y. W. at-Denver, Colorado.
She has been a member of the
National Board staff for 12 years,
recently serving as general secre
tary at Peiping, China.
In discussing Nebraska-in-China
week Miss Bernice Miller, local
secretary, announced that several
girls had already turned in their
"mite boxes. She urged that
other girls who have been saving
pennies and other small change
hand it in by the end of the week
