JSEBRASKA'S student governing- body for the en suing year will meet for the first time next WNk. Included in the gathering will be eight hold ever members from the old council, aod twenty-four w men and women elected by student voters last week As is tha usual custom, councilmen will spend - moat of the first session electing officers and an- nouacing a few well-meaning intentions for the coming year. With the ballots counted and the sudden 'splurge of campus enthusiasm dying an inevitable .'death, members will feel little outside pressure "calling for Intelligent legislation and interest in -council enterprise. They will realize that they repre sent no constituency. They will not be, responsible, "Jn addition, to the student voters. This aspect of the campus student government inay. account, in a large measure, for the over-jn-helming lethargy which grips every council soon -fter the echoes of election have died away. It is -to be expected, then, that next year's council will be no different from its predecessors. It would seem-that this inconsistency in the present system of student representation should arouse the initia tive of interested council members. But it does not In this event, the present council will not differ greatly from other councils. In view of the present turnover in student ac tivities, the new council is afforded an excellent op portunity to improve student activities on the Ne braska campus. Among other projects, the council should un dertake to rectify its own plight. It would be well worth the council's efforts to' spend next year work ing out a program for reorganization. The need for such legislation will become more apparent to lead era in the student governing body ss the year pro gresses and member's interest wanes. They will realize, in addition, that the functioning groups on this campus are the extra curricular organizations and not the colleges. As such, the council should represent these groups. Such a student governing body should be more active and interested than under the present system. The new council should moie vigorously con tinue the revival of the student activities program inaugurated by the old council last fall. Indeed, councilmen have here a fertile field for constructive endeavor. A thorough weeding out of the super fluous and worthless organizations on this campus, or at least a justification for existence, would be welcomed by thinking students. While the council recently put into operation s student book store, the actual benefits of the project have been at best doubtful. Councilmen might well look Into the possibilities of establish ing, on a broader scale, a student owned and oper ated book store. It would indeed be a welcome re lief to suffering student pocketbooks. These proposals, and others, offer many possi bilities well worth the time and effort of the coun cil. In addition to reviving student interest in Its own enterprise, such a program would tend to di minish the tremendous significance attached to run ning football rallies correctly, appointing the prom committee, sad investigating the chaperon situa tion on the campus. The broad powers delegated to the student council under the provisions of its constitution offer many opportunities to improve student extra curric ular activities. With this in mind, it should not appear wholly unassuming to ask incumbent coun- ettmea for Immediate action: tive standings In campus opinions on the number of dates they have. Competition for leadership in this line becomes extremely heated at some time, and due to encouragement from the individual co-ed's sorority, she can never hope to give up the chase. From the moment a girl comes to the univer sity and Is pledged, she begins to undergo training in whatever sorority she may have accepted. She is constantly drilled on the fact that popularity is everything. If at any time she allows any inclina tion to "settle down" and go with one particular boy, she is looked on by her sisters with such dis favor that she soon discards her unheard-of atti tude and again joins the throng. At times, of course, it becomes necessary for the individual co-ed to hide her personal feelings, because It is necessary to keep all of her suitors be lieving that they have a good chance. After hiding their true feelings for a certain length of time, some co-eds finally become so hardened to the grind that they no longer know themselves what they really feel. Such girls after having submerged their true feelings, seldom return to their natural selves. What can be done about this situation? Does anything need to be done? Alabama Crimson-White. The University Is Inconsistent. Northwestern has honored, sweatered, blank eted, and lettered brawn that could win a football game or two. If a letter on a purple sweater has to be used to bait the bones and muscle needed to make gridiron machines or basketball teams, we resign ourselves to the perfunctory "thanks" and tribute of that emblem. But the university is inconsistent, and univer sities should avoid that condition. A capable de bate team swept through Big Ten competition to its second championship, winning seven out of ten contests. The same team went on tour and re turned with the Mid-West title. It added an intel lectual tone to the reputation of the university in central United States. But the debating team closes its season in ob scurity. It probably does not desire the little letter or trinket or bauble a great university may hold out in reward. Yet such a medal or key would act as encouragement to those who return to the team and to those who may compete for Northwestern in the future. Shall they go unrewarded? Daily North western, Ag College Carlyle llodkin Contemporary Comment Queening Sorority Women at Alabama. The University of Alabama has a peculiar so cial system which is brought about by the fact that there are more than three boys to every girl. This act has made It possible for the majority of girls to go with more than one boy. which has in turn led to a erase for popularity. Girls are given rela- THE LAST LAP. It's one under the belt, this weather. To have to try to start studying again after -pring viua tion is bad enough. But to have to do it in a spell of mid-June weather is too much. A trip home during spring vacation usually helps a student to muster up enough spirit ana sense oi responsibility to struggle through the remainder of the semester. But when the opening davs of the lajt lap take such a huge toll from any stored up determination, then it is har to say what the next few weeks will bring. The adage. is older than text books that in the springtime young men's thoughts turn to thoughts of other things than the economics of farm crop production, the care and management of soils, or the comparative anatomy of destructive insects in Nebraska. And when the grass gets green, and the nights get warm, and the flowers begin to bloom and the birds to sing, the truth of the old adage becomes apparent; and text books accumulate dust on the book shelf. The difficulty of it all is that there are exam inations coming in a few weeks, .nd despite all the grass and trees and flowers and spring nights, the text books will have to be drug out and looked a time or two. It's a pain to have to try to learn anything out of books these spring days and nights when there is so much to be learned from the big world outside. But if it has to be done, it has to be done. NOW IT'S THE OLD COW. What to do on the farm this summer is a ques tion bothering many in Ag student. First the wheat program came along and took fifteen per cent of the usual wheat land out of production. All that land ran be legitimately used for nothing but a croquet grounds or a landing field. Then came the corn-hog program to take twen ty percent of the corn field out of production and send twenty-five percent of the old sows to market before their pigs came. That means more land useful for nothing but a race track -and in the summer it's too hot to race. And a quarter of the hog houe will be empty. That means less cleaning to do: it means fewer pails of slop to carry, less feed to grind, fewer pigs to vaccinate, fewer to mark, fewer to kick up the shute and haul off to town. And now they're saying that every pail of cream is going to have to be fifteen percent smaller, that there is to be a dairy leduction program. That means that an old cow or two will have to go to market. It means that somebody will be out of a Job milking that old cow twice a day. and some body else will be without a job of brushing flies off her back while somebody else milks. The job of chasing her in from the pasture will be gone, and so will the Job of fixing the fence when she breaks out into the clover field, and the Job of doctoring the teat she cuts half off in the fence. In case it nappens to fce an allalfa patch beside the pasture, then gone also will be the job of poking a hose down her throat to let the gas out whn she hops over the fence into the green alfalfa and gets bloated. So with fifteen percent of the wheatfield and twenty percent of the corn field standing idle, a quarter of the hog house empty, and the cream can fifteen percent smaller than usual, there Just won't be much to do on the farm this summer. Looks like the government will have to initiate a new pro gram to send fifteen or twenty percent of the stu dents to summer school. That will mean that they will be as idle as the idle acrca or the empty quarter of the hog house, and there will be enough work on the farm for the remaining eighty-five percent.
