bill, creating a new state board of
education to take over and man
age the university and its
branches, the four teachers col
leges, the school for blind at Ne
braska City and the school for
deaf at Omaha was unanimously
killed by the state senate Satur

JOHN STOVER, INTERCLTJB COUNCIL PRESIDENT.
By Lloyd Friedman.
"Students don't have to join
fralerriitios to be activity
men," declared John Stover,
president of the Barb Interclub
council the first unaffiliated
student to be interviewed for Lit
tle God's Galley. "There are
enough activities in which barbs
can participate without joining a
bouse."
Admitting the desirability of
fraternities, the Barb leader smiled
and stated that one of the pur
poses of the Interclub council is to
give the unaffiliated students the
opportunity to Join barb groups in
order to fulfill their desires for as
much of fraternity life and broth
erhood as they can get without
actually joining. He believed that
finances rather than diHlike kept
muni of the barbs cut of fraterni
ties. This quiet barb leader has a.so
been secretary and treasurer for
the past year of Delta Sigma Rbo,
national honorary debate society,
and a member of Dr. H. A. White's
varsity debate squad. For two
years he was also a member of
the Cornhusker business staff.
Even when he attended Hick
man high school, Stover was in
terested in oratory as he captured

"We should have reached our goal

Immediate Action Necessary.
"We cannot possibly extend the
