Hey, things are looking up in our filthy
business. Some kind soul finally came to
our aid and dug up a little dirt for us. Last
Friday morning we received a letter printed
in the most completely impersonal printing
we have ever seen. Said letter is herewith
reprinted as follows:

Dear Miss C,
Because of my position on campus, I find
my hands tied and am unable to say or do
anything about a trick for which we, the
students of UN, must pay hard cash.

Danger in the Dark . . .
With Milquetoast pacifism, student members of the
Pan-Hellenic Council Monday "ayed" in another "don't"
rule. This rule states that no sorority woman can go out
alone after dark. Whenever possible, she must be with an
other jrirl. a croup of girls, or an escort. The "rule" passed
without discussion, nor was there one dissenting voice when sive fun and whoopee at our expense. They

In the first place, the rule is not one which can be book covers and to purchase same for the

Secondly, the rule applies only to sorority women,
since Pan-Hel has jurisdiction only over them, and not over
unaffiliated women. Are unaffiliated women, then, more
able to protect themselves than affiliates?
This "rule" should have been discussed thorolv in
Pan-Hel meeting, and its apparent weaknesses eliminated.

Why then must they make this trip? Is
that where our money goes?

Twenty-five members of War

War Fund dinner and rally to be
held in the Union Friday night
at 6:00. It is the beginning of the
AUF Drive for this year, and all
solicitors and people in charge of
the drive for the next week and
a half will be present.

sions. Although no formal rule was
made, sorority-fraternity football
were discouraged of games, as
they are not llattering to the
eoeds, physically dangerous, and
poor publicity for the university
as a whole.
It was derided that a Paihel

year, would be held.
No sneak nights may be held
without the permission of the
housemother, and without first
registering it with both Dean
Verna H. Bojles and the Panbel

The Panhellenic council, made
up of two active members and
one alumni representative from
eich sorority, will bold regular
meetings the first Monday of each
month.
Dr. K. O. Broady, director of
the university of extension divi
sion left for Washington Sunday
to attend a white house con
ference on rural education, to be
held Oct. 3, 4, and 5.
Dr. Broady is chairman of the
committee on "Problems of the
Professional Personnel for Rural
Education," which will discuss the
problems of professional educa
tion, salaries, tenure, retirement,
living conditions, and relationship
between laymen and professional
personnel.
Two hundred leaders in rural
education will attend the con
ference. Dr. C. W. Scott of the School
Administration Department in
Teachers College will speak to the
local education association of
Blair, Neb., Friday night. His
topic will be "Our Immediate
Professional Task."

morrow, and we'll let them defend them
selves, if they care to do so, through the
medium of this column.
Thanks "Anonymous", in case you are
serious. If the letter did happen to be a
joke, it still gave us material for a column,
for which we are deeply indebted. Anyone
else having any particular gripes to air is
welcome to send them along to us.
To Whom it may concern:
Every so often, and that's pretty often,
some upper classman starts telling the stu
dents how the students must support a
certain organization now which, in the
past, has done the campus so much good
Well, now maybe these 'writers can remem
ber when the university wasn't "at war"
but this writer can't and, with freshmen
enrollment the way it is, the majority of the
students can't remember either.
One of those organizations which in the
opinion of some either is about to disappear
or has lost all its power anyway is the
Student Council. Now of course a univer
sity of this size should have a student coun
cil; but if that council does not become or
remain effective on its own merits, for
getting the past, then it should properly
fold-up. The students are constantly re
minded that this council does not have the
support of the students or that its members
are not present at the meetings or some
other instance about which we as individual
students can do nothing. Certainly the
students will support the student council,
but support it on what?
We should remember, furthermore, that
"our" council, practically choses its own
members. That is, according to its con
stitution the council choses eight of its
members to remain on the council, no vot
ing by the students. And doesn t the coun
cil also have an election committee which
practically decides which of those who file
are to run for an oiiice :
Well, now my point is that if an organ
ization has this way of practically chosing
its own members and still gets people who
are not interested, then it ought to fold-up.
Surely there are 24 people on this campus
who are interested in helping to govern
this campus, or would be if they were told.
what and how. If the organization which
is supposed to represent the students
doesn't know the students well enough to
find those 24 then, I think all the past in
the world shouldn't save it.
Of course we the students who have
come here since the war hit the university
want to support our student council but we
won't follow blindly and we can't follow
leaders who seemingly don't exist. Of
course we think there should be a student
governing body but want one that will
work, not just exist.
Maybe the present student council can't
be blamed for the present conditions but if
they don't do something they will be and
can be blamed from now on. Maybe you
can change this, Andy. Huh?
