DAILY NEBRASKAN Sunday, April 6, diIoMaL QommsmL It's your constitution! Study it! The trial and error period of the temporary Student Union constitution has come to a close. And in accord ance with experience gained through the Union's first three years of operations, the Board of Managers last week drew up a permanent constitution . for the student managed building. The managers acted upon the constitution as rep- . resentatives of the students who use or would like to use the building. But to be assured that their decisions were favorable to those students, ten days were allo cated during which time the constitution might be studied and suggestions made to them. Eight of these ten days remain. It isn't so important to try to criticize the constitu tion, as to understand it and to take enough interest in the building which the students themselves govern to study its constitution carefully. Briefly the changes which have been made are: The membership has been increased from 16 to 17 by the addition of one more student member. This in crease proved necessary because of the increased work required of the board. The tenure of office has been made three years for sophomores and two years for juniors, in order to add experience to the membership of the board. Along the same lines as "the new interfraternity council plan, students can now grow into the more Important posi tions and carry out programs that may straddle two or even three years. Five standing committees have been created, namely, executiye, finance, house rules, faculty and ac tivities. Such a change will thrust more administrative work onto the students and give them greater opportu nities to work out their own ideas. Workers groups under the activities committee are expected to expand the union program to over 250 separate activities. The union treasurer Is empowered to collect all dues and obligations. This provision Is designed to facil itate the collection of faculty and resident membership dues, the collection of which has heretofore caused confusion. Any expense of maintenance over ordinary ex penses shall be borne out of union funds. This provision was necessary to clarify the relation of the building to the university. When large expenses occurred in the past there was always a question of whether it should be billed to the university funds through the regents or to union account. The constitution Is posted on the Union bulletin board. Details of it are important. It is your constitu tion. If It Is to be a good one, It is your duty to study It carefully and see that all changes are made to make the administration of this student managed building function most smoothly. Sullsdm, Clothes make the man- Lincoln clothing merchants are to be congratulated for the special efforts they have made In the past three or four years to dress up university students. From cor duroy pants and dilapidated sweaters that characterized the average college man several years ago, the type of dress has changed to sports coats, neckties and the other inexpensive fineries that go to make the well dressed man. More than 200 student salesmen are today em ployed by these merchants, in fact are putting them selves through school by this work, and these students, trained In styles, goods, values, and accessories, have done much to make the campus mare clothes conscious, and to help the individual dress more economically. Of course the store managers are in the business for money. But because the profit motive prompts them in much that they do, deserving praise for other cultural functions should not be denied them. On the whole the stores make no more t selling stylish merchandise than any other kind. And the various style shows and dress contests sponsored by them to aid the student eat deeply Into their overhead. ' Since It costs no more to wear proper clothes than unstylish, out of date garments, any Work toward im proving the college man's dress is to be commended. Bearing In mind always that this is a poor man's col lege and that economics must govern dress, hats off to the merchants for the work they have done.

He will be the dinner guest of Dr. James Mac Woodward, president of the society, preceding the lecture. Although it is little known by the layman, vitamin K is the fac tor which prevents hemorrhage by causing the blood to coagulate when it escapes the blood vessels. It was while connecting experi ments upon the utilization of fat in newly hatched chicks that the noted scientist discovered vitamin K in 1929. One morning he found several of the chicks dead al though they had been fed a diet supposedly adequate in all of the vitamins then known. Beneath the down Dr. Dam could feel a net work of extravasations of blood. The chicks had died of internal bleeding, and Investigations showed that their blood was com pletely lacking in prothrombin one of four factors needed for blood-clotting. By further tests DrT Dam discovered that hog liver or alfalfa cured the tendency toward bleeding caused by a de ficient diet. Thus the effects of a new vitamin were discovered.
