While ita tiec$ may sometimes coincide with those of the administration, they are not to be taken at having either its approval or disap proval. The Usual Words to The Newly Elected. "THE votes have been counted, thahouting is over, the eggs have been thrown and campus politics are again laid to rest until next fall. As a result of all the turmoil a group of new student represent atives will take their places on the council. The heavy vote recorded may be taken as an in dication that interest in activities is awakening. More than likely, however, it is the aftermath of the shameful riot Monday night At any rate, those who survived the test of the polls are to be congratulated, even If some of their votes did come as a result of black eyes and torn up lawns. The new office holders, however, must realise that to use their positions purely as a political step ping stone or as a means of keeping their names be fore the campus Is a prostitution of their trust. While realising that it is almost futile to say it, the Daily Nebraskan maintains that the Student Coun cil la a service organization. As such, active par ticipation In projects of the council is the first duty placed upon the new members. Personal satisfaction and advancement should not enter into considera tion. It is the usual thing, however, for a majority of the newly elected members to lose all interest in student government once they have been officially seated. There is no ballyhoo or outside pressure to stir up activity. The Daily Nebraskan, a few inter ested council members, and a few outsiders snipe at the lethargic and apathetic. a Btjt let not an be blackness and despair. While there Is life there is hope and other such plati-. tudlnous banalities'. At any rate, from year to year, a few continue to conjure up pictures of the day when an Interested and 100 percent active member ship will step into the council room. In a few days the old council will wind up its affairs, the new members will elect their officers, and get set to open operations if any. It is encour aging that members who have proven their ability and worth during the past year have been chosen as holdover members. And so for the consideration of the new council may a few of the outstanding problems be humbly and hopefully submitted. In disposing of some of them the council will render a valuable and surprising service to the campus. Obviously the council must consider its own shortcomings. It is possible that many of its de ficiencies can be remedied by nothing more difficult than realization on the part of each member of what he Is about The more likely proposition, however. Is that the council should undergo revision and re organization. As it now stands It represents nothing or nobody, It has no Incentive for action, and has no provisions for punishment of flagrant neglect of duty. There are on the hands of the council at the present time two very important matters the sec ond hand book store and the Union building. The outgoing council, or at least the members who have served actively on these projects, are to be con gratulated for getting them under way. Obviously, however, the old council cannot hope to clean these matters entirely off the slate. They have, of course, been turned over to all-campus committees, but the new council must continue to keep them under Its wing In order to insure continued work. CTILL another project that has been started this year, but as yet Is none too well assured of suc cess is senior class organication. Interest in it has flared spasmodically during the semester. While provisions for organization next year are to be made by the old council, senior class organization will still require the attention of the council next year. Digging among old bones one comes upon the prom committee appointments, In the past these appointments have provided fine occasions for choice bits of political skullduggery. The prom committee mieht well undergo revision by the council. Another issue dug out of the boneplle, but which has never been satisfactorily settled, is the chaperon situation. Neither the ones to be chaperoned nor the ones who do the chaperoning are satisfied by the present system. The Student Forum, started three years ago by the council but which died out for some reason or other, could well stand a revival. There is a defl nlte need for an agency thru which affairs of the outside world can be placed before the student body. This is taken care of at the present time by various discussion groups and forums, but they are inade quate. A forum sponsored by the Student Council seams the best method of correcting this need. Along with senior class organization should be considered the possibility of organizing the junior class. Thru this will be obtained the necessary con tinuity of class and school spirit The varsity parties issue, so much alive last year, has been as dead as the proverbial door nail this year. Perhaps there has not been enough gen eral student Interest to justify work on the problem, but there can be no doubt that a better all-university party system could and should be worked out In line with parties the council should devote Itself to an attempt to have the faculty committee raise the maximum rate to be paid for orchestras. Some sort of an arrangement was worked out tljlsj year, but it Is by no means satisfactory. Reasons for the necessity of raising the maximum are ob vious. Eligibility rulings are also a sore spot that should be removed thru efforts of the council in con junction with the administration. An attempt made by the present council to liberalize the rulings met with a flat turn down from the administration. Yet there can be no denial that the various rules are far from satisfactory THESE problems, ranked not at all in order of their importance, and many others should hold the serious attention of the new council. Some have been taken up by the outgoing group, but the usual indifference of the majority of members has hin dered much progress. This lethargy, however, need not be treated as a tradition. There are absolutely no rules against action on the part of the Student council. And so there will continue to be hope that some day a group will step into power with interest and initiative to take care of the aforementioned problems. Hope for Adequate A ppropriations. TTOPES of keeping out of the pooihouse were raised for the university Wednesday as the State Senate finance committee submitted its report on the appropriations bill, showing the university appropriations boosted back to Governor Cochran's figure. How this will fare on the floor of the Senate is a matter for conjecture. It 1 likely, however, that the bill will go thru substantially unchanged from the way it came out of committee. If that be true then the appropriations measure is due to go to a Joint conference committee for still another revision. It is on the Senate and on the conference com mittee that hopes for adequate funds with which to maintain the university are riding. The slash suf fered two years ago undoubtedly crippled the insti tution. For the coming biennium the university is facing Increased enrollment and rising prices. Greater funds are imperative. Governor Cochran, taking into consideration the dire need of the university and the equal need for economy in state expenditures, submitted a recom mendation for what has been considered a fair fig ure. The university could use more money handily, but it has been estimated that the governor's figure provided enough if activities were curtailed. Cognizance of these facts have been taken by the senate finance committee. The welfare of the university is still resting in the hands of the legis lature, and Indications point to the fact that there is still hope. OFFICIAL BULLETIN Contemporary Comment Salt on 'Red? Sore. The communists poured salt on their cause when they attempted to throw cold water on the en thusiasm of the crowd celebrating the silver jubilee of the reign of King George V. If there Is anything that annoys and irritates a crowd when Its hilarity (s at its height it is the disturbing efforts of certain parties to dampen the celebration. An orderly demonstration by the communists would have been more impressive, and consequently more effective. It la such an occurence as this one that gives the party the reputation of being wild-eyed and bumb-tbrowing, and turns the pub lic against It Methods of squelching the com munists are partly to blame for their disorderly demonstrations. Meetings of proper procedure and in accordance with the law fre quently have come to sad enda. The following irtory told by Robert Qulllen, well known writer is an example. A certain professor as a hobby was fond of expounding commu nism. For a thrill one day, his stu dents held a "red" meeting. In the midst of their fun, a po liceman descended upon them, cracked fourteen heads with his Club and arrested the professor. Before the bar of Justice, the prafeesor was reprimanded for his teachings. Then the judge turn ad to the escorting policeman and asked him to recite in his owu words what the professor had tone. "lie made reds out of rice girls asd boy a," the officer replied. "Is that serious crime?" asked his Korior. ' "The very worst" said t'je po ll l H-m-m-m. In that case. I sen-X'-.xA beta you acd the professor to one year in the penitentiary." "Why me?" shouted the police man. "For making Teds," said the Judge. "The professor's teachings made two 'reds.' Your cracking of harmless heads made fourteen." The Oklahoma Dally. The Voter's Responsibility. Political machines, boss control, graft and racketeering are a di rect result of the indifferent voter, according to John Pfiffner, pro fessor of public administration at S. C Authorities on municipal government have also given argu ments and proofs to substantiate this belief. This statement brings to mind the part that men and women who are now university atudents will soon play In politics and eco nomics. As soon as a person becomes a voter and wage earner he accepts, directly, certain responsibilities and obligations. Today's genera tion of college students will soon er.ter Into that phaae of life, but whether or not they dispatch their obligations conscientiously is an other question. One of the best examples which proves the power of the ordinary voter can be found In Cincinnati. There, a citizen's league waa or ganized, composed of voters who desired clean government. The re sult was the riddance of a long standing and corrupt boss rule. In college students, logical ma terial will be found for community and municipal leaders. Since they benefit from their station is so ciety they should in return con tribute to the public welfare which Is la part their m. Haying heard the present busi ness generation condemn the graft and machine methods, yet at the same time not only allowing the eltitaUon to continue but bowing before it will tomorrow's voter fol low the beaten path or will he ex ercise his right to establish clean, falrmlnded government? The Dally Trejan. . The University And the State. It is significant that the recent meeting of the third annual Wis consin Collegiate Country Life conference at the College of Agri culture, was not only attended by members of the university, but in addition brought together a cross section of young people of rural Wisconsin, students in high schools, normal schools, and col leges. The integration of all the educational activities of the slate, which has been one of the func tions of the university, ably aided by President Glenn Frank, has perhsps not been sufficiently brought to the attention of those critics who accuse the university as well as the president of a lsck of Interest in the outside educa tional world. The meetings of high school journalists, debaters, and musici ans, and in another field, the con ference of superintendents of buildings and grounds of universi ties and colleges which ened at the university yesterday, are only a few of the many activities which the university fosters that serve to bring together students and work ers in many fields of activity to their mutual benefit, under the sponsorship of the university. Not only the 8,000 odd students st the university itself are affected by the work of their university, but thousands of other students, in high schools and other institu tions, look upon Wisconsin as their university as well, acting as a mother who serves their needs faithfully and with forethought to the futureThe Dally Cardinal.

Finds Measurement of Age Lies in Eye. (By Attoriitrd Collriat Prrai.) WASHINGTON, D. C Science has come through again, this time with a device to accurately meas ure a person's life span. At the meeting of the National Academy of Sciences, the discov ery of a "life-speedometer" was announced by Dr. Felix Bernstein formerly of the University of Goet tingen, Germany, and now visiting professor at Columbia university. New York City The method and apparatus may be likened to an in strument which combines the func tions of a speedometer and a gaso line gauge. Before announcing his discovery. Dr. Bernstein determined with an accuracy that was startling and almost uncanny the lire expectancy of about 2,500 individuals in Ger many, whose deaths occurred at. the calculated time. In his search for a means of measuring the ageing processes of the body. Dr. Bernstein found the key to be hidden away in the hu man eye. In the eye of every in dividual, he discovered, lies the answer to the riddle nearly every man and woman past middle age ask, "How long am I going to live?" Joe Knappenberger. It is said, will show a clean pair of heels to the 3ig Six array of hurdlers dur ing the conference meet Friday and Saturday.

He's been there since 1916, ana ne s uiceiy io re main the state's guest for a while. Hia moat recent effort to fifain freedom wss quashed by a Cali fornia Oistnci couri wneo ma jority opinion denied his writ of habeas corpus. Only a governor's pardon will do the work said the court And a governor's pardon seems not forthcoming. Mooney waa Jailed on conviction of throwing a bomb during a parade. Hopes of pardon and realese faded, his long battle continued when Up ton Sinclair, California socialist candidate for governor, was de feated last fall. Sinclair, it is believed, would have pardoned Mooney. Slight hope was seen in the recent court opinion when a dissenting justice declared he believed Mooney was entitled to release. If success comes with perseverance It would seem that freedom surely will be his reward some day. JAPANESE are proud that they are not agitated over U. S. navy's maneuvers in far away Pacific waters. At least a Japanese ad miral took liberty to speak words to that effect recently. That his people actually feel that way is doubted. It doesn't seem natural they could remain calm with one of the largest navies in the world playing war games so close to their island. a The admiral did suggest that Americans would be somewhat aroused If Japanese war ships were to maneuver no farther away from our shores. There is truth and perhaps more, in that statement. If they are not agi tated one might infer it's be cause they have confidence the maneuvers are just maneuvers. a Maybe the Japs are being diplo matic Sbout the situation. If that be so some sort of official protest might be expected sooner or later. At any rate there is a feeling the affsir isn't going to foster friend lier feelings between two countries thought to be slready lacking s little in friendship. a a BACK to Hitler and Germany. The stormy little dictator has a message his "legislative" body is anxiously awaiting. May 21 he will outline his foreign policy at a spe cial meeting of the German retch stag. Once before Hitler said he was willing to scrap every detail of armament There's a chance he may reaffirm that attitude at the session. 0 He wouldn't be willing to throw off his military forces un less every other European coun try would do the same. That he would be willing to at all is hard to believe, and that the rest of Europe could be brought into such an arrangement Is even harder to believe. Friday and Saturday will be a general Big Six playday. with track, tennis, and golf teams go ing Into action. CMANTS BY CHANCE.

This Fair is based on a fine arts theme. Beautiful lagoons and artificial fountains have been dug; buildings of classic architecture with colorful land scaping have been erected. The United States Navy will be an chored in San Diego harbor as a guard of honor, and also so that the visitors who have never been aboard may get an idea of what a man-of-war is like. a At this great southland exposi tion, many model villages such as are native to Japan, China and Mexico are being fixed up.
