Minnesota to Arkansas while on tour, and will
make a leisurely trip thru the midwest. The
personnel of dance bands and quality of nyisie
will be guaranteed.
The problem of securing suitable music
for university functions is an old one, and a
much fought over one. After threshing the
matter out thru two Student Council meetings,
the power of negotiating for bands was taken
from the hands of the Social Chairman's organ
ization and the council decided to join the Mid
western Association. A subsidiary committee
is working on a plan to develop a central book
ing agency for all bands which appear on the
campus, including fraternity and sorority af
fairs. If the new unicameral legislature passes
this bill, the work of the council will have gone
for nought, and one of the most promised fea
tures of membership in the Midwestern will
have vanished.
The campus does need out of state bands
on occasion, and we believe that the Student
Council plan will solve all discrepancies in the
hiring and membership of those bands.
STUDENT PULSE
Brief, concise contributions pertinent to matters of
student life and to the university are welcomed by this

Let The
Council Do It.
If a hill which was discussed by a legis
lator-elect to the new Nebraska unicameral
house is introduced and tfoes into effect, the
Student Council might as well petition for
return of the $12.00 fee it paid to join the
Midwestern Association of College Students.
The bill will prohibit the hiring of out
state musicians to furnish music for the mili
tary ball, and other social functions. It is
based on the claim that a booking agency fur
nishes th director and principal musicians and
asks hx-al musicians to round out the orchestra,
while the money involved goes mainly out of
state.
If the bill is passed, it will send the L'ni
ersity of Nebraska off on a ''musical nation
alism" all its own. This "buy what you can
in Nebraska or not at all" is a good policy if
you can buy what you want and need in Ne
braska. Unfortunately, no purebred Corn
busker state band of musicians has the appeal
which a hie time orchestra exudes toward the
poeketbooks of otherwise recalcitrant cus
tomers. If any of the larger social events of
the campus are to be successful, they must be
able to advertise on the name of a nationally
known orchestra.
Students, for the most part, like to dance.
And a prime requisite to dancing is music
which is pleasing to the ear and feet both.
They would rather roll up the rugs at home
and dance to radio music than in the coliseum
to an everyday band. They wouldn't pay to
hear a Lincoln orchestra ihey can dance to
the same music any weekend night at a formal
party.
The legislator's charges are not new ones
to the campus. They have been hurled before.
and with some measure of accuracy. It is to
offset this that the Student Council joined the
Midwestern Association of College Students
and its auxiliary orchestra booking agency.
L'nder the Midwestern plan, Hig time
band? will be scheduled for appearances from
Awakrning Interest
In Foreign Affair.
To the Editor:
There was recently organized on the campus
an association of students who are interested
in international affairs. The organization, one
of the many groups of its kind in the country,
is bucked by the Carnegie Endowment for In
ternational Peace. According to its founders,
the local International Relations Club aims to
develop a working understanding of interna
tional problems and situations.
At a time when the world is again suffer
ing from apprehension of a possible interna
tional war. the need for a srood knowledge of
foreign affairs as they affect other nations
is obviously essential. One cannot make an in
telligent appraisal of the cause or causes of a
possible friction if his rrrasp of foreign affairs
is wanting. AVe are not to be surprised, we are
not to be caught asleep and ihen wake up with
a question mark in our minds when we find
that our country is in the brink of involving
itself in an international crisis. We hope, of
course, that that would never happen, but in
this ace of international dependence, where
nations are spoken of as "family of nations,"
one's affairs is almost as much as ours.
Unfortunately, there is a noticeable lack of
interest in international affairs. The ordinary
student usually let the foreign item in the
newspaper go unread. This general apathy
which clings quite tenaciously upon the should
ers of our citizens does more harm than good
as far as solving international problems is con
cerned. The International Club seeks to inter
en t the students in foreign affairs to the end
that a common opinion may be formed as to
the best possible method of averting a likely
conflict.
For the Carnegie Endowment for Interna
tional Peace under whose influence the local
club has been formed, Mands first and fore
most for the avoidance of war as a means of
settling international disputes. It believes that
international differences can be ironed out
and settled amicably if there exists a sympa
thetic understanding of each others problems.
To attain that ideal the Endowment urges con
certed ad ion among peace loving citizens, and
happily, the response, as shown by the growing
number of clubs of similar ideal, is very en
couraging. Under the guidance of Professor Hill, the
local International Relations Club should prove
a useful organization. There is a need for it.

"The contention that examina

legislation." said Dr. Ren
lilng, is not borne out by the
facia. It ia generally conceded by
many authorities that the actual

courts and the referendum. The
veto measage of the chief execu

Commltte Us Demeerstle.
Maintaining the conference com
mittee, which is employed to rec
oncile difference between the two
bouses, aa being esser.tlil but un
democratic, the political science
professor said that a majority of
: such a committee may determine
the fate of the moat important
j legislation of the session. The
j meetings of the committee are aec
j ret and there 1 no roll call or rec
ord of itt proceedings.
I The committee may be re
i strict ed In its action to the points
' of difference, or, in some states,
may alter the entire bill at will.
It report must be accepted or re
jected in toto because the object
of the report is conclusive and
final action on a measure.
In Nebraska the movement foi
a unicameral legislature began in
, 1913 when a legislative committee
I waa appointed to study ways and
mean by which the state govern-!
I ment could be made to function
j more effectively and to report to
the 1915 session of the legislature.
But It wa not until the legislature
: came to grip with the problem
resulting from the depression that
' a nucleus of the electorate saw
clearly that a change in the struc- j
ture of the lawmaking body was
I necessary. The unsatisfactory
'legislative product of the lft31
and 1933 sessions caused much ad
: verse and searching criticism.
; After the gradual development of
the unicameral idea in Nebraska
for the past twenty years, the
time seemed ripe for submitting
i the question to a vote of the
. people."
The sagacity of the people's de-
cision will be determined by the
fust convention of the solons
I solons that Dr. Sennlng believe
j have been Judiciously elected.

Dean of Women Amanda E. Hepp
ner's address before the mass
meeting of all independent women
students sponsored by the Barb

at 5 o'clock on Thursday, Dec. 10.
Misa Heppner's address is the
fourth in a series arranged
by the leag-ue to "give barb
women a further understanding of
university functions and organiza
tions." The other speeches were
delivered by various women stu
dents active in the different cam
pus societies and publications. It
is believed that the dean's address
will give the viewpoint of the fac

given.
Following- the featured speech,
an open discussion will be held to
allow students to ask questions of
Miss Heppner and for expressing
views in regard to the subject of
the meeting. A short program has
also been arranged consisting of
songs by Alice Redwood, and vio
lin numbers by Margaret Porter.
"All barb women students, espe
cially freshmen, should attend this
meeting," declared Carol Clark,
board member in charge of the
mass meeting. "It is thru discus
sions of this sort that independent
students can learn the internal or
ganization and purposes of the va
ried and numerous campus socie
ties. We hope in this way to give
those university members the
same advantages in getting ahead
in campus activities that sorority
women receive from their in
formed upperclasswomen."

Dr. Steiner will present in his

he has observed since coming to
the United Stttes, as well as the

Leon Trotsky, exiled Bolshevik
who will be ousted from Norway
if he does not leave of his own
accord when his permit to stay
expires Dec. IS, has received an
invitation from Mexico to reside
there as long as he desires. The
former co-leader of soviet Russia
who split with Lenin and was
banished from the country was
surprised and delighted at the in
vitation, altho Mexico City claimed
that Trotsky had asked permis
sion to live there.
Mexico's action in offering to
harbor the bolshevist caused pain
ed surprise in Moscow. In recent
conspiracy trials Russian officials
have attempted to link Trotsky
with alleged plots of sabotage
against the USSR. Should Mexico
allow Trotsky to write and talk
as he pleases, the action might
have far reaching results.
Has no one been struck by the
amazing relevance of some fami
liar lines of Shakespeare to the
Simpson case? In "Hamlet"
Laertes warns Ophelia:
But you must fear,
His greatness weigh'd his will is
not his own;
For he himself Is subject to his
birth:
He may not, as unvalued persons
do,
Carve for himself; for on his
choice depends
The safety and the health of this
whole state;
And therefore must his choice be
circumscribed
Unto the voice and yielding of
that body
Whereof he Is the head. Then if
he says he loves you,
It fits your wisdom so far to be
lieve it
As he in his particular act and i
place
May give his saying deed; which
is no further
Than the main voice of Denmark
goes withal.
Shakespeare unquestioningly as
sumed that even in marriage the
king's "will is not his own."
