This year, above all years, the Honors list should be long and all-inclusive. Obviously, it is too much to hope that every student in the university could make grades equal to those required for the Honors list. But this year, above all others, students should be students instead of kindergarteners on the college play-ground. All too few of America's young people are still in college. The majority have interrupted or postponed college education until after the war. Those of us who are left are obliged to take our education seriously, to work for understanding and assimilation of material offered in our courses. If we are not willing to take this responsibility, we should be in defense work or in the service of our country. Students who are being honored Tuesday have evi dently realized the purpose of college work and the impor tance of really learning what is offered in the university curriculum. If for no other reason than this, these stu dents deserve recognition. Honors Convocation will be held in the Union ballroom. Every university student should be anxious to attend. The Nebraskan offers its congratulations to those who will be honored and hopes that the ballroom will be filled to ca pacity by others who wish to do the same. Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority, recently announced that its new members would be chosen Ivy Day instead of next fall as in the past. With the excep tion of the sing contest, the Mortar Boards are THE attraction of that fatal day. We think they like the limelight, not being the shrinking violet type, because ever since the Theta Sig announcement, have been muttering dire prophecies to the effect that "Theta Sig can't do this to us." Time will tell, and we hear that Theta Sig says "Can do!" a a Tn t ht Poster edition a week a0. we got carried away in the raptures of spring. Seems we said something about spring be ing here although we expected a blizzard, mnnsnnn. hurricane or chinook. We were speaking of chinooks in perfect innocence. Out in Wyoming, wnere we come irom, a rhinnnk is a storm that comes down off the Rocky mountains. Unfortunately for our reputation, students on tnis campus ior me most narr An not come from Wvomine. Consequently they did not know that a Chinook is a storm irom tne KOCKies. in fact, they did not know what a chinook was at all And if thev did know what a chinook was, they thought it was something besides a storm trom the mountains, iney even went so far as to think a chinook is the same thing as Webster's dictionary says it is namely, an inaian wun a nauenea skuu. t AnvwAv. for those of mv dear readers jwho have doubts or dark unfounded sus picions, we wish to state with emphasis that we were expecting a storm WE WERE YOUR UNIVERSITY Plans Campus of Future BY JANET MASON. If you should come back to the University of Nebraska about 1950, the campus you have all dreamed about would be a reality. This column is to give those of you who may be unable to return a bird's eye view of the university in the future. These dreams are not the re sult of an April fool's joke, but are taken from authentic plans drawn by the architectural depart ment and displayed in Chancellor C. S. Boucher's office, the Alumni office, and several other places on the campus. The first building our children will not set, in 1950, is Ellen Smith hall. In its place is the- new teach ers college training school where university students win hold classes for their pupils in teachers' high. The old teachers college will be used solely for university classes. On the mall between teachers and Andrew. :s the new class room building in which va rious classes, which are now scat tered about in several buildings, will be held. Directly north of this building a street win be cut through from Love Library, across the mall, behind Andrews and MorriH, to the Coliseum. Across this street from the new class building is the new Auditorium. Every university theater director who has worked with the small, ill-lighted stage at Temple will breathe a sigh of envy for the lucky fellow who can use this new building. Keeps Bessey Company. Keeping Bessey Hall company to the south is the new Music, Drama and Art buildinc Those students who have spent long hours in the dusiy ana lire Haz ardous Temple will be tempted to come back to school in t fw docades to enjoy classes in the building. Even more enticing than this building will be the Engineer ing hall, to be erected between Avery lab and Grant Memorial. It is a long, four storied building, with tall columns gracing the en try way, facing 12th street The new Armory building is lo cated east of the Coliseum and will house the military department, re lieving Nebraska hall for other classes. On the corner of 14th ana Vine, a block from the Sigma Chi Iuhim is the rirls' rvmnasium. The final new building on this future campus takes some explora tion to find. It stands on the block where the Phi Psi. Siema Nu, Sie Ep and Sig Alph bouses are now located. The entire mock wiu oe remnrieled into a forest of trees and on the north side, almost a half block west of the gins' dormi tory, is the residence halls for men. Yes, this is a cleverly planned rimmi and if we all work hard enough and hope long enough our children are sure to nave u $oobnotes With the present day emphasis on language, two books, recently added to the reference collection of the university library, are of particular interest. Duden's Pictorial Encyclopedia presents more than 10,250 differ ent expressions in five languages by means of pictures. The lan guages included are English, Ger man, Spanish, Italian, and French. Those who are in search of special terms in these languages and those who wish to enrich their vocabulary will find a study of these plates and the accompanying five langufe vocabulary of value. The Manual of Foreign Dialects for Radio, Stage and Screen pre sents a scientific approach to the use of foreign dialects to take place of the model system of the vague inspirational system. Among the dialects included are Cockney English. Hawaiian, Beche le mar, Pidgin English, and dia lect of India.

As storekeeper, he writes, he hears all the gripes of the bluejackets when their clothes don't fit, shav ing cream hasn't arrived, or the stationery doesn't LETTERIP Dear Editor: Tuesday night the officers of War Council presented a "Rules of Organizaiton and Membership" NOT a constitution to the members for discussion, and approval or rejection. The rules were discussed thor oughly from every angle by all members present, and, with an amendment opening the eligibility to office to all members who have attended War Council meetings for one semester, were unanimously approved by the Council with the exception of one vote. Apparently misunderstood by outsiders was the rule pertaining to voting privileges. This rule which states that "each university organization (organized houses and campus activity groups) is entitled to one repre sentative who shall have voting power for official election (election of officers)." It was also provided that anyone interested in the work of War Council would become a member by regularly attending meetings, and could vote for every measure before the Council, except election of officers. This rule was formulated not to encour age politics, but to prevent their entrance into a war co-ordinating organization by allowing each authorized representative to vote as its organization dictates. There was no provision "that persons who are mem bers of one organized house and also repre sentatives to War Council may vote by bloc." It was suggested that the representa tive from an organized house who had voting power should consult the other mem bers of War Council from that house who were not invested with voting power so that her vote would accurately represent her house or organization. As the rules did not comprise a formal constitution, they were not presented to the Student Council for approval. The Officers of War Council. suit their artistic temperaments.
