as a result of membership in these
organizations.
But the really significant feature
of the ceremonies of selection thi
afternoon lies in the fact that cer
tain traditional jobs which add to
the pleasure and worth of college
life will be carried on by capable
persons for another year. And cer
tain new ideas for the improve
ment of opportunities on this
campus will emanate from the two
newly chosen societies whose pur
poses are in this much the same
thai they arc working consciously
for the interests of the university
nnl its students, now and for the
future.
An Idealistic Conception
Of the .Senior llonorories
rJvODAY the two campus honor
ary organizations, Mortar
Board and Innocents, confer the
distinction of membership upon
their successors. In varying de
giees, these two senior honorary
societies have for years held the
respect of the student body and
have been the goal of achievement
for large numbers of students.
Both societies aim to pass their
membership distinctions on to suc
cessors whose work in extra-curricular
activities has been so cred
itable as to merit recognition and

rice is i linen.
iHE Student council has failed to
get official approval from the
Athletic Board for any figure at
which athletic tickets can be oi
fered to the student body unde
the activity tax plan. In unofficial
conversations, the price of $4 was
suggested as the lowest possible
price at which the ticket could be
offered the student body.
But since this price was first an
nounced in the Nebraskan as the
tentative figure to be submitted tc
the student body, the Athletic
board has met and refused to ap
prove that figure or any other. I:
other words they have refused to
have anything to do with the ac
tivity tax.
The reason for this unwilling
ness is explained in the fact thai
the athletic board is responsible
for payment of the bonds and in
terest on the coliseum. These pay
ments in times past have beer
made from the profits of the foot-
to give promise for a final collegefball revenues. During the last two
year of worthwhile conscientious
effoit. Today's ceremony is in the
nature of conferring a reward for
past services. But after today, how
wisely this reward was granted
will be tested for an entire year
v iien the new members of these
oiganizaiions are the chief leaders
ot various student activity pro
jects. HERE will almost certainly be
some dissatisfaction as a result
of the choices. Retiring societies
aie each year faced with the dif
ficult task of singling out individu
als who merit distinction above
nearly equal individuals. In mak
ing the selection, opinions are
bound to differ and a certain
amount of criticism is likely to re
suit. hither of these honorary organ
izations is handicapped wnen this
teang ot dissatisfaction is too
fcUuiig. Both depend tor their posi
tion of campus leadership on the
ltjjcct and approval of the stu
ot:ii body. Consequently, the
cik n-es ot new members are al
ways made with a very .-.tiont;
ViL.-mer eye out lor campus

k..-.eis ol the student body in cer
tain lines ot achievement. And as
a ijole, these two societies have
ni .ch that they can contribute to
the welfare of future student
Louies, and thus to the uiiivtioily.
I'HE Xebraskan is confident that
i.he choices today will be re
spected by the student body. It
kr.ows that the newly elected
members will have some unique
experiences of pleasure ahead of
them in their Jast ear of college
years, however, this prom has
fallen ofl decidedly, partly because
student tickets have been reduced
fiom the formeiv price of $9 to $ti.
tne uoara is not going to oe
able to finance the coliseum
program 11 it secures no more
revenue than was secured last year
when tickets sold at $6. If the
athletic tickets were sold at $4 un
der the tax plan, the total revenue
derived would be no more than
that derived last year. The Ath
letic board must have more than
this, some way or other. The ac
tivity tax plan offers them no re
lief and forestalls, the board feels
the possibility of raising the price
of student tickets when times be
come better to a 'igure sufficient
to yield the necessary revenue.
In brief this is the explanation
for the repudiation of the original
figure of $4 which the Student
council calculated could be set a
the proper cost of athletic tickets
under the tax plan. In other words,
the coliseum is the white elephant
which blocks the wav to a mini
mum lee for student athletic
tickets whether sold on an optional
oasis 01 under the tax plan.
Faced with this situation, the
student council has been obliged to
revise its plan lor the activity tax.
Instead pf printing on the ballot
the athletic ticket for $4, the coun
cil is merely listing the athletic
ticket along with other items. A
maximum cost of $5 will be listed
after the ticket. Each student will
check the items which he feels
should be included in the tax plan.
If he feels that $5 is too high for
an athletic ticket, he may simply
refrain from voting for that par
ticular item.
ing the athletic ticket as one of its
component parts.
Ah a matter of fact the tax plan
is valuable even tho applied to only
a very small number of cheap
items. The Nebraskan is interested
in seeing the tax plan adopted, not
necessarily for any particular item,
but for the principle of the thing,
because the items that are in
cluded can be secured so much
cheaper than under any other plan.
If the tax plan should be approved
this year by the students, even for
only one or two items, the mere
chnnco of seeing how it woiks
would be advantageous. The Ne
braskan is confidant that its ad
vantages would bo so apparant
that in due time, the athletic
ticket and other items would be in
cluded in the plan on a mimimum
cost basis.

of regents the distribution of the
appropriation. The house had not
previously provided for a cut in
the medicial colege appropriations,
but had applied the entire slash to
university funds to be used here
n Lincoln, but the conference re
port makes possible the applica

funds, if the board of regents so
determines.
Several irreconcilables in the
house were saying Wednesday that
rather than agree with the confer
ence committee recommendation to
raise the appropriation for the uni
versity, they would favor a special
session. The university item in the
budget was the chief bone of con
tention between senate and house
conferees.
The conference committee had
for several days been in disagree
ment, and at one time had report
ed that they were in hopeless dead
lock. Later, however, they agreed
on splitting the difference between
senate and house recommenda
tions.
