PAGE TWO -We Crave Action Not Empty Promises Today members of the student council (at ..Vast a faithful few of them) will assemble -Hjrain for one of their weekly meetings. Whether the minutes of that meeting will re "Jord any concrete action remains to lie seen, but if past experience would offer any predic tion, a successful result is rather doubtful. Thus, it will be up to you council members to alter past experience today or merely continue , in' your happy-sro-Iucky manner. Last Wednesday a number of interest ing and commendable plans for campus changes were suggested, but as headlines of ' the Daily Nebraskan announced the follow ing day, the student council merely "aired its grievances." There have been a number of worthwhile projects "hatched" mid the thubub of council proceedings this year, yet not one of these suggestions have reached the stage of materialization. Thus, a plea is being made to you council members in order that you will not let oppor tunities continue to pass. Your plan suggested nt your Inst meeting for the appointment of a .representative on the bookstore board and the assumption of power to enter the bookstore for an investigation of prices is worthy of praise if it is carried out. Your idea to examine text books which are changed only in detail placed on the market ns "new and revised" editions, land consequently outlawing the old textbooks is to be commended if it is carried out. Your suggestion to investigate the limitation on the .number of activities of men on other campii with the hope of changing the men's activity .system at Nebraska, is a good one if some ; concrete change comes as a result of this inves- ligation.

STUDENT PULSE To the Editor: According to Lulu Mae Coe's article on the Student Union build ing, in the Nebraska State Journal and Star of February 6, it is pos sible that a private lounge and a private dining room may be re served for the exclusive use of the faculty. Since the faculty is not men tioned In the list of those who have aided the Union financially, why are they to be accorded spe cial privileges which no organired student group receives? Aside from the question of rights in volved, universities noted for their scholastic achievements have rec ognized a need for a more intimate relationship between the students and faculty, than that afforded by the classroom In a university of this size. The Student Union cpuld aid in the solution of this problem, by providing s plare where the student and his instrur tors may meet outside the class room on the basis of mutual friendliness, which would be valu able to both groups. For this reason, it would seem advisable for the students to is-1 sue an invitation to the faculty to use their facilities, in order that the faculty will not feel it neces-1 sary to isolate themselves in re served rooms in a student building.

"A date with a Canadian girl lasts usually until 4:00 a. m," says Kenneth Kee, now at the Mc Gill Medical School In Montreal. "A girl is insulted if she gets In before 3 o'clock. She thinks you are bored. A slight change from the Nebraska custom of 12:30 nights and 1 o'clock late leaxes." From Oxford, England, comes a letter from Frank Crablll, "3(1, winner of the Rhodes Scholarship last year. Frank says that he likes everything but the continual dampness. Double Page Spread.

THE DAILY tion of fraternity and sorority purchasing agents in order to pursue a plan of co-operative buying will be beneficial if you actually collect some concrete evidence. Whether or not the council has man aged to show some tangible progress during the past semester 'is insignificant when coupled with the fact that the council could contribute a great deal of concrete action if it so desired. There are a number of mem bers on the council, few of whom are effi cient, yet even those few could accomplish some needed changes on the campus if they decided to become interested in doing so The student conucil has a name from past achievement and it could be one organiza tion on the campus which definitely served a purpose. If, however, the council con tinues in its condition of lethargy it will merely serve the purpose of a time waster and a needless activity on the campus. Recent events in Germany afford an inter esting analogv to the present status of the council. "When Field Marshal "Werner von Hlomberg resigned to follow the course of mar ried life, great furor resulted in the Herman military ranks. Meanwhile, completely obliv ious to all this confusion for which she was in part responsible, the young bride of Von lUom borg sat and worked cross-word puzzles. What does this have to do with the council? Simply this. The council like voung Mrs. Yon Rom berg is seemingly unaware of important hap penings which are going on about it and con sequently does nothing about it. Many signi ficant changes could be brought about with a little effort on its part if it should make up its mind to do so. It is with the hope of action and fewer empty promises that this plea is made. It is the customary belief that a business meeting is held for the purpose of accomplishing other than a few social contacts.. 11 EN FACE K. U. TRACKSTERS Nebraska Squad to Defend Big Six Indoor Laurels Here at 2. Coach Srhulte's track squad opens its defense of the Big Six indoor championship on Saturday when its meets Kansas U. on the Husker indoor track. The meet is scheduled to start at 2 p. m. sharp. Only 11 major letter winners and four minor lettermen are now working out, but as Schultn points out, there are no outstanding men such as Francis or Cardwcll, on the squ.id. To add to the Husker mentor's woe, thicc of the leading performers have been lost to the team. Jim Mather, a grout dash prospect, hi been ruled Ineligible, and Boh Kahler has derided to re main out of competition this sea son to save a year of eligibility. Mar" riook, best of the current dash men. hurt his leg in practice Monday night, and will probably be out for a week or more. FMork ran the fiO yard dash in :0B.5 Mon day shortly before he was hurt. Scliulte states that the team will be especially Mrnnr in the low hurdl.'S, 440, SSil h..' " mile and the two and four mile relays, and possihly the broad Jump. Bob Simmons, conference quar ter mile champion has already run that distance in :.r2 4, and will be ablv supported bv four sophomores l'ankonin, Krejci, Hejkal and! Calnon. Krejci has alone the 440 ! in IS4.1. Harr's Andrews and John Brown- j lee have both been doing between I 2:03 and 2:06 In the half mile. Other promising fcSO men are Ku- per and Owen. Kuper edged out I Brownlie In a mile run held lust! Saturday, winning in 4:37.7 with Brownlee a scant yard behind. The dashes will tie taken rare of by Jack Dodd. wilh Kill Ko vanda, a letterman, reporting for the sprints ufter the basketball season closes. Charley Brock and Harwin Dawson have shown up good In the hurdles this year. Neu mann and Dawson, both lettermen, have both been missing 22 feet by a matter of inches in the broad jump Ray Baxter tops the high jumpers with a height of 5 feet 9 inches. Bob Mills is already doing bet ter in the shot than he did at any time last year. His best last year was 46 feet 10 Inches, but he got one heave of 47 feet 2'i inches, last night, Other shot men are Pfeiff and Block, both of whom are getting about 42 feet, which may be good for a few points. The pole vault is still very dole ful, Dodd' 12 feet 4 Indu s being the best in that event this year. Athey, letterman In the vault, has not been doing very good na yet.

Administration forces bring a limitation of debate by a special rule. And no amendments or objections to individual provi sions are allowed, To all this pres sure there are loud protests from republican opponents, who feel that, tho whole thing is being forced through in the administra tion's usual high-handed way. Quorum calls and every other type of strategy are used by the opposition to delay action. Short, republican from Missouri, charges that the administration is trying to "cram down our throats a 121 page bill which members have not had time to examine." Despite strenuous opposit.on, vote on the bill comes up today, with odds fa voring a passage. WHAT! AGAIN? Towey's "slow work, slow pay" bill opens again the long-waged court battle. Towey, democrat from New Jearsey, proposes that judges be made to sign an affi davit that no case has been wait ing more than 90 days for a de cision before they can draw their monthly pay checks. Towey steers clear of the su preme court, however, reports on the plan say. The dockets of the supreme court are at almost all times clear of cases, and Towey gives the "nine old men" credit for "efficiency beypnd the fair criticism of anyone."

Second, there is the badminton racket used to piny badminton by badminton players.. And third, there is the textbook racket used to make more money by fessors. We never have time to play tennis ; we don't know how to play badminton. Prob ably, then, we are not qualified to speak of the former two. But, like all students, we buy textbooks and, therefore, have a more general knowledge of this latter question. Our knowledge, at least, is general enough to know that students don't like to put their money in rackets even those that have strings attached. A Councilor Speaks. Since last "Wednesday afternoon when one of the more prominent members of the Student Council felt that confession was "nod for the soul and spoke freely of his associations with revised editions of textbooks, we have realized that Nebraska's university is no others. Nebraska may be different from other states in that il is the "v.hile spot," but the I'n'iversitv of Nebraska'is no different Hum other state institutions when problem of textbooks. Revised edition textbooks present the entire problem.

For several years now, a nw text! y by Cole has been published every year. The book; along with 1he labornlory supplies, i a requirement for business oruanizalion :i M 4, And business organization II and 4 lire require! merits for irraduation from the college of liUi. ness administration. Most students are iu'syinpathy with flie advancements and new methods of business organization that emerge every year, but they don't like to buy n revised edition of the honk used last year especially if there were only a few changes made in the entire book. The black-covered, plastic bound book that is uso, by this year's students of business organiza tion, then, will be of no value next year. Honk stores have already refused to buy back the used copies of the text because they know thnt n new and revised edition will be printed for next year's crop of freshmen. Probably the cover' oj! next year's edition will be orarg, like that of the year l!):H-37. Mediocrity Superlative. Because of a few minor changes made in the book this year, then, almost 500 fresh men are spending more than $2300 for this one textbook and thev don't like it. The changes made in the text could have been printed or mimeographed for not more than 25 cents. And 500 students would have saved themselves maybe a $1000 by buying used editions. Our knowledge and expe rience with printed, plastic bound editions such as this yes, even our connections with the company that printed this text, tells us that the cost of printing and binding such an edition would cost no more than $1500. lany texts are printed in the form which Jlr. Cole's now takes with the aim of takin); on criticism and correction before, a final, bound edition can be printed. An example of this was the book "Correct Thinking" by Dr C. IT. Patterson. Put Ihis has not seemed to be the ease with Mr. Cole's book and the stu dents don't like il. The wafer has run under the bridge a long time now. A network bat ; an inexcusable circumstance. ing students to think of their safe ty in traffic is that every lour years, there is a different set of students to educate, stated the lieutenant. Now there are stop signs at all intersections along R st. from 17th to 10th, except at 11th where none are needed. In this way and by continually keeping the problem of safety before the students, the police department hopes to protect Nebraska colle gians from themselves.
