Petitions Presented.
Two petitions presented by Lee
Young, senior class president, were
tabled by the council until their
next meeting. The first calling for
changing the Junior-Senior Prom
committee from twelve juniors to
six juniors and six seniors, was
not received very warmly as mem
bers felt that it was too' late to do
anything about it this year.
Young contended that he could
see no reason why the juniors
should give the party and call it
a junior-senior affair when the
seniors wera charged for attending.
Members of the council stated that
the committee would not be any
more representative of the student
body if it were changed.
The second petition presented by
Young providing for a standing
faculty committee to supervise
each and every student election
was strongly opposed by members
of the council. Toung. in defend
ing the petition, declared that it
was purely to exonerate the coun
cil from all criticism which might
(til upon it. and stated that it
would relieve the position of the
group if definite proof of an honest
election were had in the form of
a faculty supervising committee.

Ideal Reading Room Would Contain
Davenports, Footstools Instead Of
Conventional Tables, States Doane
"If the university library were placed in a more advan
tageous position and made more attractive." emphatically de
elared Gilbert Doane, head librarian of that institution, "I
believe more students would come here for studying and relaxa
tion." Mr. Doane, who recently spoke on "The Present Or
ganization of the University Library" at the last meeting of
the local chapter of American Association of University Pro
lessors, is of the opinion that a library more centralized on the
campus and easily accessible by all the different colleges -would
increase the number of students who would use it
"If we could take a census our
all the students who make use of
the library for educational or re
creational purposes," he stated, "it
would be a very small percentage
of the total number in the univer
sity." Michigan Solves Problem.
"The University of Michigan,
for example, has solved that prob
lem very well. When I was there
in 1922," Mr. Doane went on to
explain, "their library, a very at
tractive building with interesting
inw-casM ana sneives, was inrer
r years old and had a reading room

had to turn students away for lack

it was opened." This was over a
tenth of all the students in the
university.
The reason for this, according
to Mr. Doane is that students en

Epidemic of Dirt
Slinging Is Seen;
Gridiron Built Up
There has been an epidemic of
dirt-slinging on the campus, none
of which can be credited to the
publications. A large chunk of
terrain has been lifted from be
tween Andrews and Bessey halls
and deposited in the south end of
the stadium where a level plateau
is being created. This level stretch
of land will be later utilized by the
Husker gridmen as a bit of prac
tice ground, three fields being pro
vided in the new area.
CWA workers have also busied
themselves digging trenches north
of the Administration and west of
Pharmacy hall. Temporarily de
stroying the beauty of that sec
tion, the ultimate ' aim of these
trenches is to beautify the cam
pus, in that the pipes laid in them
will carry water to dampen the
sod. Numerous persons have in
quired about the purpose of the
ditches, some of them suspecting
that the military department was
preparing for a sham battle.
Another trench in that vicinity
is to harbor a pipe which will
carry water to the Administration
building. Heretofore the heat tun
nel served as the path which this
supply followed, and the water
was too warm in the summer. So
much corrosion had taken place
that the pipes were extremely thin,
the blow of a workman's wrench
being sufficient to break in the
conductors.

Perfect Library.
"My idea of a perfect library
would be in a building which in
spires a student entering It," he
continued, "and whose reading
room is comfortable and home
like, with davenports, footstools,
and lamps, instead of the conven
tional row ot tables with three
chairs on each side."
That the situation of a library
has much to do with the degree
to which it is used ia firmly be
lieved by Mr. Doane. He stated
that since most of the students
come to the library during the day.
it should be placed where it could
be easily reached by faculty and
students alike.
"If we nad a library that would
be attractive both inside and out
to the student body." summed up
Mr. Doane. "and could be easily
accessible, a greater number of
people would use it and benefit by
it"

Tribute Is Paid
To Mickey Mouse
In Morrill Hall
A constant stream of visitors to
a second-floor gallery in Morrill
hall pays tribute to the greatest of
all movie stars, Mickey Mouse
There, where are exhibited por
traits of the iovable rodent and
other drawings from the pen of his
creator, Walt Disney, admirers of
all ages relive Mickey s many
movies. A child's excited question
ing mingles with his fathers
hearty If ugh, and in one corner a
Sillv Symphony fan is copying a
colorful drawing of Old King Cole,
all material evidence of the artistic
influence of a thirty-three year old
Chicago boy who has made good.
The drawings, exhibited in lead
ing museums and colleges thruout
the country by the college Art as
sociation, consist of black and
white drawings of Mickey and
characters from his movies, and
colored pictures from the several
Silly Symphonies. The latter are
rather complicated, consisting of a
water color background, with
characters and outstanding objects
painted on celluloid sheets over the
background.
The most prominent character
or object is on the top sheet, with
other factors or persons in order
of their importance in subsequent
sheets. Since sometimes the object
to be emphasized is but a portion
of the complete character, as
Santa Claus' knee, the effect upon
close examination is often ludi
crous. The pictures exhibited were
used in actual animated cartoons.
Between eight and ten thousand
drawings, produced entirely by
hand, are required for each film,
for which about eight weeks are
required for completion. Altho
Walt Disney has surrounded him
self with a staff of more than a
hundred talented artists, musicians
and writers, he is himself responsi
ble for the major portion of the
ideas and drawings.
He usually selects the subject
and makes a series of key draw
ings, covering the main situations
in the plot
An artist at the Mickey Mouse
studio must serve a long term of
apprenticeship doing just ears or
tails or feet before he is entrusted
with more finished drawings,
which is one reason that the cost
of making a Mickey Mouse picture
is greater per foot than that of a
full-length feature picture.
Great attention is paid to de
tails and the musical score which
forms the background for the pro
duction is enormously important,
since the number of beats in a
phrase of the music determines
bow many movements Mickey can
make in as many feet of film.
The drawings will be on exhibit
until Saturday, Feb. 10.

OTHER FUNDS DOUBTFUL
Burnett Returns Wednesday
Morning From Trip to
Washington.
Little definite information re
garding University of Nebraska
federal projects could be secured
by Chancellor E. A. Burnett of the
University vho returned to Lincoln
Wednesday morning after a ten
day trip to the east. While in
Washington he interviewed the
Nebraska delegation in congress;
Secretary of War Oorge H. Dern;
Col. H. M. Waite; Col. Fred E.
Schnetfe, head of federal building
projects division; Congressman J.
J. McSwain of South Carolina,
chairman of the military affairs
committee; and others.
War Funds Not Available.
Little hope for the erection of
the Pershing Memorial armory
was heH by the chancellor unless
it should be ' provided for from
specific appropriations now before
congress. Chancellor Burnett found
that all of the PWA funds set
aside for war department use have
already been "earmarked" for
other purposes and that it was not
probable that an outright grant to
a single state for an armory would
be made because of the danger of
establishing precedents. He found
that had the building been planned
on a 70-30 basis that the chances
of early approval would be greatly
increased. The PWA commission
has not given a definite decision on
the armory project.
No New Projects.
A policy oi not approving new
projects until additional funds are
available will stop the university's
move to secure federal aid for
destitute students, unless the re
quest of Commissioner of Educa
tion George F. Zook for $3,000,000
per month from CWS funds is in
cluded in the new grant now be
fore -congress for its approval.
Then it would be" handled as a
state project.
The budget items now before
congress would seriously hamper
engineering, agricultural work,
and agricultural extension and ex
perimentation, reported the chan
cellor. One bill would reduce
federal appropriations to land
grant colleges by 25 percent. The

Calls Graduate to
Soviet University
Melvin Martin, 24, popularly
known as "Count" on the univer
sity campus, and who graduated
from Nebraska at the end of the
first semester, will leave for Rus
sia, April 2, to assume a teaching
post in a Russian university.
At present Martin is in Omaha
working in his father's butcher
shop, marking time till his de
parture for the Soviet republic.
Martin has often, during his uni
versity career here, been accused
of leading communist activities,
and some charges have been made
that the Soviet was paying his way
through school.
In answer to such an assertion
In Omaha recently the former
graduate declared that such pay
ment was not at any time offered,
and indicating his butcher's apron
stated, "This is how the soviet
union pays my way."
Previous to the Russian revolu

members of the aristocracy, but
during the bolshevist upheaval the
family was driven into northern
Manchuria, where Martin lived for
several years.

Gepson Denounces Petition Seeking
Faculty Supervision of Elections;
, Young Upholds Merits of Proposal
John Gepson, student council
president, yesterday denounced the
petition asking for a standing fac
ulty committee to supervise cam
pus elections. "I feel that any criti
cism of the present election system
is unjustified and that the usual
rumors of corrupt elections are the
results of defeaied candidates," he
declared
"It would be impossible for the
council to act upon the proposed
amendment to its constitution,
since that power does not rest with
the council." he continued.
An amendment to the council's
constitution must be voted upon
by the student body, from whence
it goes to University Senate, then
to the chancellor and finally the
Board of Regents for approval be
fore it can be incorporated Into
the fundamental law.
Commenting on the petition re
questing the junior- senior prom
committee be composed of six jun
iors and six seniors instead of all
juniors, Gepson stated, "It seems
to be a good plan on its merits,
but it cannot be passed in a single
meeting. Provision in the constitu
tion requires that such an impor
tant change be voted upon two
weeks following presentation In a
Student Council meeting."
He asserted that the council
would consider the petition open
mindedly and that such a change
would possibly be made.
"Five years ago." he pointed cut,
"a faculty committee had charge
of student elections, during which
time there were probably more ru
mors of corruption than ever be
fore -
0$5 was carried by a big majority
1 and the Daily Nebraskan which
was offered at fifty cents a semes-
ter also proved popular with those
votinjr. carrying with a comfort
able margin.
Awgwan, monthly humor mag
azine, which was listed at sixty
cents a semester was voted down
1101 to 815, and the proposed stu
dent union fee of ten cents also
lost out. The Cornhusker, which
was offered at four different pric
es ranging from $2.05 to $4.20 lost
by a small margin.
Confusion Over Yearbook.
It was believed by members of
the council committee on the tax
that the Cornhusker lost because
of confusion resulting over the four
plans which provided extra asses
ments for individual and group
pictures. It was also indicated
that the poll was disfavorable to
the yearbook because of fresh
men and sophomores voting
against it.
The council, after a short discus
sion, voted to accept the report of
the committee and sanction a re
port to the university Board of
Regents. The proposed report to
the Regents was to include the
Cornhusker with details of the
plan to be worked out later by
the council. An idea, whereby the
annual was to be made optional
for the underclassmen and com
pulsory for juniors and seniors
was recieved favorably by the
group.
A report brought in by the Stu
dent Forum committee which ad
vocated dropping of the forum as
a -project -of the council was ac
cepted. LUTHERAN STUDENTS

council faculty advisor. The boxes
are opened again by him when

vote counting.
It was also stated that the num
ber of votes cast and the number
of names registered are checked.
A discrepancy throws the election
out. "The present system of hand
ling elections is as good as is pos
sible," Gepson concluded.
Opposition to the movemert for
a faculty committee supervising
elections which has arisen in tho
Student Council soems ridiculous
and petty, "in the opinion of Lee
Young, sponsor of the petition ask
ing for the reform. "Thus re
sults of the move will benefit the
council, the candidates in campus
elections, and relieve the campus
as a whole of the rumors and
scandal fcllowing every election."
"Denying the need for this re
form is to ignore the facts of the
case," continued Young, "because
regardless of whether there was
corruption or not there have been
rumors that it existed following
practically every election this
year. These rumors have hinted
at stuffed ballot boxes and mis
counting of the votes. Either of
these charges is derogatory to the
