GET IXTO ACTIVITIES
All Students' Must J'ote
Tor Good Government
Says Coleman.
Declaring that lethargy on the
part of unaffiliated students is
largely responsible for poor stu
dent government in many schools,
Dr. David A. Coleman, prominent
educator and youth leader, urged
that Barb students thruout the na
tion take a more active interest
in stmirrrt "atfttvTWfs? J" """"--" -
"To insure the best possible stu
dent government in any educa
tional institution every student
must voe." declared Coleman in an
address before the Promotion of
Student Government club at Co
lumbia university, April 10.
Dr. Coleman asserted that it has
heen his experience to observe that
these colleges which so-called
independent students take as live
ly an interest in student affairs
as do fraternity members who
have the most efficient student
governments.
It was the famous educators'
opinion that if the students in a
school take advantage of their vot
ing privileges and the chance they
are given to participate, they
would have much to say about the
policy of an institution.
"In most cases declared Cole
man," rotten politics are directly
the result of student lethargy, and
refusal to participate."

poem is reprinted from some other

It may In' .-ill right for members of the Kosnict Klub show
to walk on the stage in women's nttire, but when they appear
in public in such costume, things aren't the same. At least this
was Art Bailey's experience yesterday afternoon.
Art .plays the leading feminine role in Kosmet Klub's

Yesterday afternoon he donned
his costume to have his picture
taken for some publicity material

of the show in Omaha next Friday

Just as he left the building, he

PUT ON VARSITY
Committee Brings in Report
Against Plan Drafted
By Council.
SEVERAL MEETINGS HELD
Group Takes Such Action
Because of Existing
Deadlock.
Faculty veto of the Varsity
party plan was voted by the
faculty senate judiciary com
mittee Wednesday afternoon,
aeeordins to announcement
made by Dean T. J. Thompson
Thursday evening. Due to the fact
that no satisfactory agreement
could be reached between the sup
porter and opponents of the plan,
the faculty committee deemed it
advisable to do away with the idea
of establishing the new plan at
present.
Since early in the fall the var
sity party plan had been discussed
in the student rnnnril onrl finoll,.
on Feb. 15 the plan was definitely
approved bv that bodv.
The plan provided for a com
; mittee of eight members to con
duct all-university parties, that
committee to be made up of four
I Barbs and four Greeks. There
would be two members from each
of these organizations: The Inter
fraternity council, the Barb coun
cil, the Interclub council, and the
Panhellenic council. This commit
tee would be selected by the stu
dent council from a group of sis
teen candidates proportionately di
vided among these four groups.
Parties would be conducted under
the supervision of the student
council.
Following the student council
approval of the plan. Barb repre
sentatives on Feb. 20 presented a
petition to the faculty senate de
oianding that the control of tha
parties remain in the hands of the
Barb council as it now is.
A faculty committee was ap
pointed to look into the problem.
Members of this special varsity
party plan committee were Prof.
E. S. Fullbrook. chairman; Dr.
S. M. Corey, Prof. E. V. Krhmrnm,
dean of women, Amanda Heppner,
Miss Mabel Lee, Mr. John Selleck,
and several others.
Several meetings of the oppos
ing forces were held before this
faculty committee, and the whole
problem was given a thoro going
over by all those convening. A
deadlock resulted, and because of
this the special committee advised
the iudiciarv committee to twt the
plan aside for the present.
