fit for neither man nor beast. The store is hot in the spring
and fall, and ventilation is something which just doesn't
exist. It is impossible to operate an efficient business in
the cubby-hole which now houses the store, to give the
Ag students the service they deserve. The present loca
tion can't even be called a room; there's hardly enough
"room" in which to turn around, ine Ag store can i iianuic
books necessary for all Ag courses, much less carry sup
plies in addition to books.
All the Ag students are in favor of a larger store. A
poll taken last semester by the Ag Exec board showed
that they were unanimously behind such a project. Ag
faculty members have indicated their approval of the proj
ect, and Dean Lambert has given it his whole-hearted support.

well-meaning and which Will prove a benefit to all COn-j

The Union board was the next to say "no." What about

Police officers are supposed to be watching out for
the public good. Fine! We assume that's what they were
doing after the Missouri basketball game when they
stopped fans in the coliseum
their cigarettes. But when a city police officer uses pro
fanity in ordering a lady around, he's going a little too far.
This very incident occurred Monday night. If a police
man can't be civil while carrying out his duties, especially
when such a minor matter is concerned, and especially
when talking to a lady, he has no business masquerading
as a public servant.

Blueprint Editorial Urges
Engineers' Political Bloe
"It seems only logical that
representation on the Student
Council be from the entire stu
dent body. How could this be
accomplished better than by
simply electing representatives
from each individual college?"
writes William Splinter in the
January Nebraska Blue Print.
Splinter says, "Accidentally in
cluded among the 23 members of
the Student Council is one repre
sentative of the students of the
College of Engineering one rep
resentative for approximately 1,
.'150 students."
"More Active Council."
Splinter feels that while the
Council has performed some
"very worthwhile functions" a
more active Council could carry
on a great many (unctions for
the betterment of the student
body.
He writes:
"Only recently a movement
has been started to help men
from Engineering college get into
activities. It was felt that many
engineers would be interested,
yet they hesitated to actively
seek campus olfices knowing
they would get little if any sup
port from their fellow engineers.
Without tins support, the united
front ol the faction posed an in
surmountable obstacle.
"One of the recent results of
the movement may be seen in
the recent elections for junior
and senior class presidencies.
Encouraged by the interest of
their brother engineers, five men
filed for senior class president
and three filed for the junior
class presidency.
"The result nf the election was
a faction victory through a write
in ballot. The fac tion mustered
L,r)2 votes for their candidate for
Senior class president. The engi
neers turned out I8R 'votes split
among five men. It is significant
that had all of the 3!)7 senior en
gineers voted solidly for one
candidate they could easily have
put their man in olfiee."
Fairer Representation
Splinter savs, "We must have
a fairer .system of representation.
We must have Engineering Col-
le.:;e representatives whose first

obtaining a better stoic has been
a source of surprise to me and
is, I think, rcgietable."
Dean Lambert, when asked
about the Ag bookstore, said that
one is not being established at
the piescnt tune. "There is no
suitable space out here," he
said.
"I asked the students if they
wanted to give up part ol their
Union for a bookstore and they
didn't seem to want to do that,"
he explained. He said that the
other space that was under con
sideration was rather poor.
The matter is still under con
sideration, according to the dean,
and will be taken up again when
suitable space appears.
Harper Comments
W. C. Harper, director of com
meicial enterprises, did not seem
to optimistic when asked if he
thought a book store on the Ag
campus would prove successful.
He said, however, that he would
favor the opening ol such a store
when and if suitable space for
it could be found, lie professed
doubt as to whether the store
would be able to operate without
heavy subsidizing.
Harper said that the present
Ag book store would be open
only during the month of Febru
ary because the space alloted to
it is altogether insufficient. He
agreed mat it would be very
convenient for Ag students to
have a store that would sell sup
plies as well as books and said
that it is difficult for. a book
' stole to meet expenses without
handling other items.
Union Approves.
Duane Lake, managing direc
tor of the Union, said that he
would be in favor of having a
book store at the Ag union "il
it can be connected with the
Union without usurping the prcs-
loyalty is, of course, the Univer
sity, but whose second loyalty is
the College of Engineering. If wo
want representatives in student
government we must put them
in office.
"Elections will undoubtedly be
coming up soon. We must present
a unified bloc behind our candi
dates. We cannot afford to offer a
divided front. We must do our
preliminary choosinR before the
general election." he writes.
This can be done in two ways,
feels Splinter, father by having
I a primary election within the
' College of Engineering, or by let
jting the Engineering B',xccutive

' chosen.

method is "the most feasible"
He says, "There can be no ques
tion about the fairness of selec
tion and the quality of men this
body has ciiosen for Co-Chairmen.
Similar men would be a
credit to the engineering collee
students as their representatives
' in student government."
