CONGRATULATIONS of the heartiest type are in order for the revitalized Interfraterr.ity coun cil, whose meeting Tues lay right marked the greatest teps taken in Creek circles since the cruncil's formation. Determined delegates convened for the specific purpose cf wiping political pettiness from the council, and the passage of three revolu tionary measures indicates that the purpose is going to be accom plished. The three measures were: 1. Reorganization of the basis for representation. The active delegate from each house will be a senior man, who will be assist ed by a junior man serving as al ternate. Each house will have one vote, 2. Provision for selection of a committee on committees, con sisting of of three delegates from each faction, to be apponited by the president of the council in conjunction with the two faculty advisers, 3. Decision to limit member ship on alt committees to senior men only. Here, In three concise actions, is the consummation of the new Greek spirit so determined to place fraternity legislation on a sane and efficient basis. Tuesday night's meeting is the culmination of years of campaigning on the part of lib eral Greeks aided by the Daily Ne braskan, thru many personal changes, and the steps taken by council delegates mark the begin ning of a new era among Nebraska fraternities. A bow to the council that has shown itself a capable body! measures adopted have been aimed, and with that consideration In mind, the proposal for government help to worthy students becomes very much a part of a "recovery program." It is certain that education, of all things, is concerned with the fu-1 ture of a social order, ar. i past ox- perimenta have shown that loans to j students are good investments. As the Indiana paper points out: i "Student loans are not a new thing. They have b.'.-n very suc cessful wherever tried The recipi ents of these financial aids have adde? incentive to work for self betterment, and few are the cases in which this has not been found. The students are cor.si iered good risks, for they invariably look for ward to the time when they can pay back their benefactors, and their training usually equips them so that this is relatively so-" after their graduation. There is. in short, arr.pie piece dent to etahlish the worth of the principle behind lar.s to worthy students and surely there can be no doubters, at this late date, that thousands of young men and wo men in America are eajrer to f.ke advantage of any or port unity that will send them thru college. In the case of Nebraska alor.e. the num bers cf applicants t-i the registrar and administrative offices for loans, the requests for all kinds of help, were very many this fall. As Dean of Student Affairs Thompson expressed it at the be ginning of the year. "If the uni versity had $25,000 to loans to the people who are anxious to enroll, there would still be needy appli cants uncared for." And that is the story on the cam pus. From all indicatio ns it could be duplicated thruout the country. On the ether hand, financial aid is undoubtedly available from the government if the need is made known. Without demand from the universities themselves, there is small possibility of student loans being offered by the government or any other agency. E NGINEERS Fraternity Policy: The Open Door. i 71THIN a week five fraierni-, ties on the campus have re port robberies of money and valu-, ables. Five times, in fi", houses. Greeks have arisen in the morning ' to find that their houses hr.J ben entered during the night-probably thru an unlocked door. As Campus Officer L. C. Rosier puts it, fraternities can expect to find themselves being robbed as long as they fail to take the ordi nary "precautions of locking their doors. He says: "Fraternities do not "take the responsibility in watching their houses and prevent ing the thefts. If they would make someone responsible for keeping the house locked the robberies would be cut down a lot." Simplicity itself the only re quirement is that doors be locked after each night yet the Greeks can't seem to manage to get it done. It is an opportunity for an unkind person to point out that there is an example that serves as commentary on the most of fra ternity management. "The robberies would be cut down" if -the doors were kept looked As a matter of fact they . might never have started if laxity j had not invited the petty thieves to ; take advantage of an unequalled ; chance. It would be foolish to sup- ' 'pose that fiati-rnity men can af ford to lose th.Mr money and pos i sessions, so the only alternative is . the conclusion that they have been j ! more than ordinarily careless. They j have been grossly negligent. Now, however, five houses have ; been entered, and if that is not 1 enough to serve as a warning, then ' ' nothing will. Every house should 1 look to its security by making sure J j that a man is definitely assigned to ; ' the specific duty of locking up the j house after a certain hour. Care- j lessness has gone far enough. j CAMERA EXHIBITION Machine Will Take Pictures At Rate of 20,000 Per Second. Re.-eareh on film taken by a r.ewlv perfected high speed can-era. which takes pictures at the rate f 20.000 per second, will be shown and explained at room 206 Mechanical Engineering build in? Wedne.-day night at 7:30 p. m. The st'.idtT.t branch of the Ameri can SocLtv of Mechanical Engi neers is sponsoring the presenta tion which is open to the public and ail students. Orville Taylor, president and Otto Von Bargen, vice chairman are in charge of ar rangements for the meeting. This new type of high speed camera and film were brought to this country by Frof. Earon C. Shiba. director cf Aeronautical re search at the Institute of Japan, and professor of marine and aero nautical engineering ai im perial university of Tokyo. This camera was constructed under his personal supervision. One of the interesting features f this film is the photography of a hull -t shattering a light bulb. The picture, which is slowed down, shows the bullet as it leaves th muzzle of the gun, shows its path through space, and then its impact with the licht bulb and the shat tering of the light bulb. The pic ture shows the bullet leisurely floating thr.ugh space, then its impact with the light bulb, and then the pieces of the bulb are seen slowly floating through space in hundred's of different directions. This invention marks a new era in scientific research and especially in the field of aeronautical engi neering. This new camera will record for instance the effect of air currents when they are at tacked bv the propeller of an air plane, also the shattering of a light bulb bv a bullet. No longer will pilots 'be forced to risk their lives to test out new types or parts of planes. All they need do is record the test cf a plane in a wind tunnel with this new camera and the ef fect of the air currents and strain on the plane may be easily seen.

Sen Skmti&.SctU' FORMERLY ARMSTRONGS o iobh pure I Governmental Aid To Students. T is unfortunate that economic difficulties extend to the closed circle of campus life, but that is the case, and college students are constantly being reminded of the fact only to realistically. So much ink, indeed, has been spilled about the "shifting emphasis" and the "changing world" since 1929 that the theme is pretty well thread bare, but occasionally out of the turmoil of catch phrases and an alytical gravity, a new angle is re vealed, and those are the points tie Nebraskan strives to empha size. The newpst phase to disclose it self is the movement gaining head way in various parts of the coun try for government loans to needy Students. Altho noised about for gome time, it is only recently that educators have given serious con jideration to the proposal. Yester c. ;,v, for example, the Nebraskan'B rr'r.trmnnrarv Comment column rarrlfd an article from the Indiana Daily Student about the scheme and an xaminaUon of the project revealed that it is very much in harmony with administrative work looking toward future national sta bility. , , he valuation placed h.
