Likewise, a majority of tho working- women
Ntiideiits indicated Unit they would not 1';ivor
a student workers union.
Thus, the inclination toward unioniza
tion by students working- on the campus is
not due the unfavorable working condi
tions, but rather to the fact that a ma
jority of these students working on the
campus come front families in a lower in
come bracket than those working off the
campus. Thi'j conclusion is in conform
ance with opinion over the nation with
regard to unions. Men and women in the
lower income brackets favor unions more
than men and women with larger incomes.
Kven though I lie M;iily N'cliraskan survev
indicates lliat as a whole students are satis
fied with their jolis, the Student Council and
oilier organizations should not forget the
working conditions of students. There are
prolialdy many isolated eases of poor working
conditions which should lie and could bo
remedied. Since it has been shown that most
employers reward their student help with
equitable pay ami other coiisiderat ions, litis
fact could be used as a "lug slick" to per
suade those employers who persist in a modi
fied sweat shop policy.
Student Workers
Generally Satisfied
Yesterday's survey on student working
conditions by the Daily Xebraskan disposed ol
a myth thai has been prevalent in the minds
of members of arioiis student orgabinl ions
with a eriisiidmo' spirit. Kv ry year (lie St u
denl Council along wit!; other croups has
ildopted as one of the "ll.iiigs to be done this
year,"' ihe improvement ol student working
eotulilioiis which allegedly were poor. Nothing
was ever done except to look into isolated
Cases and imagine the rest.
According to the Daily Ncbraskan pur
vey, ta!:en with the co-operation of Dr.
W. E. Walton, working students were gen
erally satisfied with their jobs with regard
to conditions under which they were
working and their remuneration in either
cash or board.
The survey revealed that students were
about equally divided in opinion as to the de
sirability ol' oNlablishiny. some form of student
workers union. Men were more favorable to
the union idea than women, and stndcnls
working on the campus favored the union
more than students workiiio; off the campus.
Those working on ihe campus needed their
jobs for the continuance of their educalion
more so than did the sludents work in v.' at vari
ous jobs off the campus. This indicates a cor
relation between the financial position of the
student and his opinion Inward unioniat ion.
for students both on and off the campus were
about c(iiall satisfied with their working
coiidil ions.
This same correlation can be seen with re
pard to women students. A clear majority of
those women working indicated that they did
not need a job to confmne their educalion.

Dodging themselves to support the government
of United States in every way possible, the student
division of the University of Nebraska patriotic
league met at Memorial hall in October of 1017.
Two hundred students fathered to elect John
Ividdell, 'IS, of Valentine ptesidont; secretary, Eliza
beth Doyle: and treasurer, L. V. Kline.
Three hundred university men acted as bond
salesmen and canvassed city in the liberty bund
campaign.
The limit on the amount of money spent on
each downtown parly was set at the meeting of
Intcr-Kororitv Council. Manv of the houses levied
the usual tax on members and the sum was do
nated to some relief organization.
Members of the State Education Conference de
cided to recommend to all schools and colleges that
all possible be done to aid in harvesting the corn
crop but the specific method was left to the dis
cretion of the individual schools.
"You do not know in this couniry of
wealth and beauty what war means." -Mrs.
Paul Yei'lish lold a convocation in Memorial
hall Sept. I ! 1 7. Mrs. Yeftish was louring
the Tinted States in the interest of ihe Franco-Serbian
Field hospital, located on the Mace
donian border.
Mrs. Yeftish. emphasized the importance of
the Serbian people in the war. "I want yon
to realize what the smaller nalioiis have done
to help your freedom and mine."

pus. Students were given an opportunity 1o do
their bit for the Serbian nalioii now overrun

There is deeper truth than ever
before in Jefferson's statement:
"Were it left to me to decide
whether we should have a govern

should not hesitate a moment to
prefer the latter."
"International News and the

an understanding which should not
be overlooked. The full title ex

pamphlets, magazine article;!, and
studies dealing with the subject of
international news communications
and the foreign press.
Titles are restricted to those
