And Still ...
Mr. Otto Woerner
. . . isn't in council
News reports on today's front page will tell you
Mr. Otto Woerner, fiery barb leader, is back in the
Student Council after the body voted to accept an
investigating committee's report not to accept his
resignation. Mr. Woerner, you know, is the lad who,
after a nauseous Prom committee election, appro
priately described the Student Council in a burst of
brilliant oratory that ended with his proposed resig
nation and the now famous "I love you all, but I
bate your system."
But Just to show the student body how their
auspicious Student Council operates, we're going
to say that Woerner Is still not a member of the
body he "told off" several weeks ago. No motion
was ever made at yesterday's meeting to accept
or reject the committee report. The only vote on
the matter was on this question: "How many want
to vote on this again." The "again" made refer
ence to a vote held the tempestuous day when
Woerner offered to resign. On that day the Coun
cil reached somewhat of a "gentleman's agree
ment" to the effect that the resignation had not
been summarily rejected but rather had been ta
bled by a move for temporary rejection.
Further evidence of the Council cavortings yes
terday show the only question which WAS voted o
eame from the chair itself. In this case the chair

CHAMBERLAIN ANTICIPATES ACTION.
Prime Minister Chamberlain, in his speech be
fore a lord mayor's luncheon Tuesday, anticipated
greater action in the war between "the allies" and
Germany. It appears that Chamberlain expects Ger
many to take definite offensive action initially.
At the same time, Chamberlain said the costs
of this war would be well repaid by the establlsh-
lished an article o this concept in Time magazine.
Now Chamberlain brings it before the British public
as an ideal toward which to fight. Perhaps this
is to be Britain's r 1 in her present war.
It is interesti , to note that the idea of a fed
eration of European states Is the political ideal
of every major nation in Europe, provided that that

What does this show?
It shows the Influence exerted by the faculty
sponsor whose dissertations are taken M "law."
This Influence Is only natural when no attempt Is
snade on part of the council to preserve or investi
gate any of Its past rulinos. Rulings and methods
of handling affairs are passed on from year to
year not by Intelligently kept files, but by the
faculty sponsor who has seen every meeting for
many, many years. Tho every bit of faculty ad
vice given the Council may be accurate and kgl
cal, that advice comes at such appropriate times
that the members give little further considera
tion except to vote as a formality. That seemed
true yesterday. Further proof of this domination
lies In the fact that the. chair will, at any time,
entertain discussion from the faculty representa
tive, completely ignoring student members for the
ttene being.
Ing to note the report of the Tuskegee Institute
recently released. It shows that there were but
three instances of lynching throughout the United
States In 1939. The figure is the lowest on
record. During the same period there were 18
instances of law enforcement agencies preventing
mob violence. It is apparent that Judge Lynch
