VKU'.K riVK CKNTS. The SKAN STUDENT COUNCIL ASKS N. TO FILE CHARTERS Societies Must Act Before Close of Semester, Says Miss Motl. Reopening1 Its drive to' collect constitutions of all active organi zations on the Nebraska campus, the student council issued an an nouncement today stating1 that all constitutions must be in the coun cil files hy the end of the first se mester. Rosalie Motl, chairman of the organization committee in charge of the drive, stressed the fact that this ruling, binds, not only major campus organizations, but also honoraries, departmentals. professionals and locals. According to the statement of the announcement made, if an or ganization is unable to submit its document preceding the end of the first semester, it will be necessary to make advance arrangements witu the president of the council Arnold Levin, the organization chairman, Miss Motl, or the spon sor of the group, Mr. E. W. Lantz. Must Submit Revisions. Emphasizing the importance of all organizations attending to this matter immediately Miss Motl add ed, "any organization which has handed in a constitution at an earlier date, but has recently re vised or amended their constitu tion is required to send in a notice of this revision as soon as possible, in order that the information in the files will be accurate and com plete." Outlining the advantages for or ganizations to assist the council in this project Miss Motl continued by stating, "It is imperative to submit constitutions sometime be fore the close of the semester so that when the time comes to let rooms and space in the new Stu dent Union building the necessary information regarding1 the organi zations will be available." To Benefit Locals, According to the student coun cil's plan, the project will benefit local organizations who co-operate since in case of trouble, the coun cil will have a copy of the organi zation's constitution in their hands and will be better fitted to take action in favor or defense of the local society. Likewise, the project will be an important aid to departmentals and honoraries in research and correspondence work with similar groups in other schools. When in formation for research, compari son with the activities on other campus, and knowledge of the functioning of the organization are wanted, correspondence is often put in the hands of the student council, and by having1 the consti tution of the society on file, much needless difficulty would be avoid ed. Copies of constitutions may be turned to Arnold Levin at the Daily Nebraskan office. Lack Many Constitutions.

ICY ROADS SLASH RALLY RIO TO 75 PREP PLAYERS 200 Jay-Sees, Grid Stars, Coaches at Tuesday Luncheon. Honoring seniors of the football teams of Nebraska and Wesleyan, Lincoln's junior chamber of com merce introduced an all-state Jay See football rally at which cap tains, coaches, and representative players from every Nebraska high school team and the coaching staffs of Nebraska and Wesleyan were honored guests Tuesday. Attendance was greatly reduced because of the inclement weather, only 75 outstate coaches and play ers registering for the day. Those who braved the December cold went away more than satisfied with the innovation.

Courage Required for Political Changes, Senning Declares; Unicameral a Step Towards Adaption By Harold Niemann. "11 would be a serious reflec tion upon the knowledge that comes with experience and upon the wisdom of men now living to say that we should not face in government what is faced and met in industry the constant need for readjustment and reorganization." These wore the words used by Dr. John P. Senning, chairman of the political science, department, as he discussed the advent of Nebraska's new unicameral legislature. These arc the words of an authority on government problems and a keen observationist of the fight to se cure the first one-house state legislature in the United States. As one who can take a personal pride in assisting the drafting of the bill pertaining to the one-house legislature, Dr. Senning has out lined the history-making and mod el set-up as it will exist in this middlewestern commonwealth. "A major change in the machinery of government requires courage but the task of making the now sys tem work successfully demands even greater courage as well as foresight and patriotism," the political science professor said. Conditioning Factors. Briefly outlining the beginnings I of state legislatures, Dr. Senning stated that governmental func- J tions are conditioned by the chang ing: texture of society. While so cial, political and economic forces, under the stimulus of applied science, transformed the character of organized society from an in dividualistic agricultural commu nity to an integrated and highly complex industrial order, the in stitutional structure of representa tive government remained essen- FWA Director Will Receive Construction Offers on $400,000 Building.

All the coy coeds go after their jovial Joses like seals after fish (pardon the unromanticism). After they have made him say uncle and that he will go they proceed to the open air markets of the city to pur chase a corsage. This usually is done up in the way of onions and lillies. Now. if you will pardon my showing off I will tell you that they are from the same family; Dr. Pool told me so. This year another improve ment is made. Maurie Sherman is rendering the scales to which you will sway and he is one of the better Tenderers we know. He came directly from many of the Windy Cities better places (pardon me if I make a noise like an ad, so help me it's true). His music has become familiar ized thru a national hookup broadcast. As a way of explanation we would like to tell you that the reason the tantalizing tuxes have been required is this: The sponsor ing society had no intention of pinning carrots and sech to a man's best or borrowed, but it was the only plan by which thoy could got that night closed for their frolic. Thus the thing is for mal and whether we like it or not we must bind bows, steady studs, and bow stiff-curse the tux. If you have wondered about deep circles and embedding lines in brows, this is the exculpation. I have spent much time in deep meditation. Recently the univer sity has been spending days in transplanting sidewalks. This has little to do with my point, but it gives it impetus. The transplant ing is seemingly of no avail. They are changing the course from square to round and back again, but here is the thought which bur dens me. Have you ever noticed that the paths are everywhere the side walks are not? Certainly, you say, but have you ever noticed that the sidewalks are where the paths aren't? Certainly. But have you ever noticed that the paths run where the sidewalks don't? Why? Why doesn't some man like Doctor Wimberly or someone sit down and figure out where he would make a path if he were going somewhere. For instance, at Morrill hall they are shifting the walk into a circle, but the path gees diagonally across the campus. If they put a walk there it would put an end to the path. Right? Why doesn't some man come to hit senses and build all walks someplace else because people never walk where they are. Usually people make paths in the shape of the letter "X." This would be a good plan to start out on, In short, perhaps the concrete I I iTTUJIftr BY STEEVES construction would not be so ar- mas party is a new venture for tistic, but the campus would be j the pep club and if successful will more beautiful if the sod were not j be held every year, so mtitilated.

Reform of governmental I in.si.it in ions is a manor oi slow development but the time has come when the people of the United States are facing the problem of simplification of the legislative branch of the state government so that the representatives may be held responsible and accountable to the people. Simplified Structure. "If the institutions of represent ative government are not to be regarded as an end in themselves but on the contrary are. accepted as moans through which social and economic adjustments may be made, the legislative structure must be simplified so that the legislature can assume the role, which properly belongs to it, of furthering social and economic progress and of adjusting the deli cate individual relationships in the present social order,1' stated Pro fessor Senning.

CHRISTMAS PARTY FOR DECEMBER 1 6 STEINER TO VOICE IMM GRANTS DEA E Noted Author, Educator Reflect Advances in Assembly Talk. to Dr. Edward A. Steiner, sociolo gist and professor of applied Christianity in Grinnell college, Grinnell, la., will address a uni versity convocation at 11 o'clock Thursday in the Temple theater. Ho will speak on the subject of "The Chronicles of a Chronic Im migrant'' in which he will present some reflections on the changes in American life which he has witnessed since, coming to the United States. Dr. Steiner was born in Austria and this year marks the oOth anniversary of his coming to America. His immensely varied experiences and contacts make him one of the most pene trating commentators on Ameri can life. Dr. Steiner was trained as a classical philologist at the Uni versity of Heidelberg. He escaped to the United States to avoid mil itary service nnd began life here as a day laborer. His own diffi culties and those of others like himself in getting a foothold here led him to the study of America as the great melting pot. In pur suing this interest he divided his time between his classes in Grin nell college and the people of the lower east side in New York City. His efforts in their behalf brought him into vital contact with almost every economic, social and politi cal problem in the country. Guest of "Teddy" Roosvelt. Theodore Roosevelt read his books and invited him to the White House. He was also a guest in the home of Andrew Carnegie and J. P. Morgan. "They were fine fellows," says Dr. Steiner, "but they were blind. Madness makes men blind. I told them they were blind when they fought labor unions. I told them the unions would be the only wall between them and a revolution. 'Maybe,' they said, "you are right for 20 or 30 years from now, but it is not the time now'." Dr. Steiner has written 14 books of which the best known are "From Alien to Citizen" and "On the Trail of the Immigrant." These belong to the class of best sel lers. In addition to all his other achievements Dr. Steiner is rec ognized as a masterful lecturer. His platform work is artistic, his humor is subtle and he wins his audience as much by his personal ity as by the nature of his lec tures. N. U.
