Another House
Of Ush

Last night the Student Council met and
elected officers for next year. On the new
council were 24 affiliated students and 10 un
affiliated students, yet it was the latter group
which determined largely the course of the
election.
Yes, the Union faction got too big for it
self and blew up. Certain self-seeking individ
uals broke the foundation of what was once a
rock-ribbed party. A few months ago we wrote
concerning the barb party and its decline in
importance and prestige likening it to The
llouse of Usher. The midyear slump of that
organization was due mainly to a lack of co
ordination on the part of the various leaders
and the general laxity of interest of most un
affiliated students. This cannot be said of the
Greek party. Here not only was a lack of
leadership but down-to-earth treachery of the
leaders themselves. Unlike thieves, politicians
have no code of honor.
"The facts leading up to the election of of
ficers last night are very, interesting. Two
weeks ago the Greek faction nominated offi
cers for the Student Council. Since this fac
tion has a goodly majority on that body elec
tion was virtually assured. However, devel
opments caused r split. People were being
pushed and shoved. They allegedly needed
this and needed that. The faction leader with-
By Marsa Lee Civin.
April 24, 1918, 700 already enlisted,
drafted men were stationed on the campus to
lake up technical intensive training in engi
neering and military mechanics.
Captain Andrew Knight, representative of
the war department and Dean O. J. Ferguson
of engineering college inspected conditions on
Ag campus as to facilities for instruction and
quarters for men.
Three hundred and fifty soldiers were to
receive training on ag campus in automobile,
cement work, forging, wood work, and other
military mechanics. These men were housed in
the judging pavilion, upper part of new horse
barn, and machine shed. They ate in Ihc cafe
teria in the home economics founding.
The 3."0 men on the city campus
quartered at Nebraska Hall and had
meals at Temple Theatre.
Miuiv nf the ex-enirinecrs who
called in the draft were sent back here to re
ceive more training in mechanics.
The returns at the end of the university
drive for the Liberty loan totaled $U,009. The.
campus drive was carried on by the 1918 Kos-met-Klub
group.

out calling a meeting of his followers set about
lining things up without their approval.
However, his moves were blocked even
though he had acquired the block of barb par
ty votes which were offered first to one person
and then finally to the person the faction head
was backing. Failing to establish him as a
candidate the entire block of votes, both barb
and Greek, were thrown behind a substitute
who also was a Greek in order to prevent an
other person from getting the presidency of
the Student Council.
The individual finally selected as head of
the governing body is very capable and richly
deserved the honor conferred upon him. The
Council will thrive under his guidance, but
not so the Greek faction. For without ques
tion enmities have grown. The faith and trust
in faction determination has been abolished
for some time to come.
It was all a sordid mess, and the even
tualities which indubitally will occur will
probably find the Greek faction or what was
the greek faction right behind the old eight
ball. But whatever happens in the years tc
come the Greeks have themselves and only
themselves to blame. It is another House of
Usher trembling with distrust, faltering in
leadership, and rotten with treachery.

Council . . .

over for a week of further by
laws before voting took place. The
Becond stated that all officers of
the council had to be selected from
hold-over members. Mr. Lantz,
faculty advisor of the council, af
firmed the official standing of
these by-laws and stated that the
second had been followed for some
fifteen years.
Roy Byram again objected to
these as being unfair to the barb
party and new members of the
Council and proposed an amend
ment that would make both sen
iors and holdovers eligible for of
fice. Considerable discussion fol
lowed with Burton Theil admitting
the unfortunate party affiliations
of all holdovers but advising the
continuance of the by-law. Chris
Petersen presented the advisibility
of having experienced council
members in office.
Vote Called.
A roll call vote was then taken
and the amendment was defeated
by a 16 to 3 majority. The same
majority passed the re-affirmation
of the two by-laws. A recommen
dation was also passed advising
the shortening of next year's for
mal season. Final business before
the election was the oral report
given by Burton Theil, outgoing
president.
In it he reviewed the activities
of the Council in the past year and
advocated the more serious appli
cation of next year's Council to the
problems of student government
and closer ties with student or
ganizations thruout the country.

It's spring on the university campus, and any collegiate
columnist who is any good puts forth his best efforts and writes
a column on his reactions to the most wonderful season in the
year.
Writing "Sauce for the Gander" in the Daily Minnesotan,
Max Sliulman did some mighty mesmerizing for gopher stu
dents. We like spring, but not because its a good time to write
columns; rather because it's such a wonderful time for picnics.
Therefore, we get the picnic and you get Max Sliulman (which
is a break for both vou and us.)
COLOR. . .The reds and yellows and pinks and greens and blues
of the coeds' dresses and the brown and white of their shoes.
What did girls wear on their feet before saddle shoes! The
bright blue of the sky and the whiteness of the fleecy clouds,
like a very bad sentimental painting. The faring green of the
grass before the summer heat yellows it.
ODORS. . .Best of all, the green earth. Lunch bags being
opened ham, peanut butter, egg salad. Ice cream cones. Noth
ing in the world smells like an ice cream cone. Tee cream has
an odor, but it. is not like an ice cream cone.
STUDY. . .Young men with backs propped against trees. Coeds
lying full length, heads supported on crooked arms. Sunlight
shining on open pages of thick red history books, green too
expensive psych lab manuals, finely set poetry volumes, small
baffling mathematics texts.
