Council9 s Future ...
Student povernmfent- on this campus has no alterna
tive but to continue in its present "interim" state for
another year. The Student Council's pnncipal objective
for this term, a Council constitution that will adequately
serve the student body, can hardly become a reality in the
remaining weeks of this semester.
It is now for the Council to take steps to set up a
succeeding body to carry on its work of this year. It
should be the task of the students themselves to recom
mend the plan to be used next year. Long have cries
of "faculty domination" hovered over the Council scene,
resulting in a student government that appears weak
and Inefficient. Thus, it seems essential for the present
body of representatives to initiate action to assure the
continuation of the constitution project in a manner suit
able to the group m power.
There is no reason why the present Council members
cannot take action immediately on the plans for next year.
Faculty approval seems imminent if the representatives
set up the organization list for their successors, if they
elect their holdover members and select their officers to
insure a carry-over of the Council's work this year.
The Council now in office has just not had enough
t?m mnlfltr all of the work on their year's agenda.
In adition to writing a constitution, the representatives
considered a possible student court to regulate student con
duct, set up regulations for budgets and ticket prices on
University dances, acted as first host for the Big Seven

ordination of freshman orientation, planned a new seating
arrangement at basketball games, and discussed NSA, in
addition to such administrative duties as issuing parking
permits, approving constitutions, calling tor student ac
tivities reports, campaigning for a bigger budget, conduct
ing student elections and fostering better student-faculty
relations.
The Council obviously has not been a loss to the
campus. There is no disgrace in being unable to finish
such a complex, highly debatable and necessarily practical
instrument as the new Council constitution must be. In
stead. thework that has been done on that document
should prove to be very profitable in the second year of
consideration of the constitution tor wmcn every siuaent
entertains high hopes.
With that thought in mind, it would seem to be most
desirable for the present Council to put their year's work
into suitable form for next year's group to complete. It
is for the representatives now to set up the machinery to
select the leaders and members of the second session of the
"interim" Student Council.
To the Editor:
The University calendar for 1949-50 designates the dates April
27-29 as College Days. To students in the College of Engineering
and Architecture, the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth represents
Engineers Week. Into the 48 hours of these two days are crowded
many events which are the products of careful planning, and in
tensive work.
Open House at the College on April 27, from 2 to 5 p.m. ana
7 to IT) D.m.. is the portion of the program which is most interesting
to the public. During these hours, there will be displays or stuaeni
work and ingenuity in all departments of the College.
Laree groups from high schools and colleges are expected to
visit the exhibits in the afternoon. A great crowd is expected in the
evening. If you wish to make the tour in a leisurely fashion, it is
suggested that you take advantage of the afternoon hours.
Educationally, Engineers' Week is a very important part or me
fundamental training of the students of Architecture and engineer
ing in the College. The event is the result of fifteen weeks of care
ful nlanning. Several hundred students will be organized to carry
tu. nf ths ivoolr without anv nrevious rehearsals. The

Members of the faculty and student body of ts University nave
alwavs been very helpful to the students of the college by attending
the Open House and exercising patience with the slight interrersnco
with normal routine expected on Thursday afternoon, tor your
courtesy and sympathetic cooperation we are grateful.
We extend a cordial invitation to everyone to visit us and see
any or all of the displays at Open House on Thursday.

Editorial Briefs
Results' 'f the all-University poll Wednesday morning
will not be published until instructors have returned their
ballots to W. C. Harper's office. We urge aU faculty mem
bers to get their ballots in the campus mail as soon as
possible on Wednesday so the results can De puDiisneu in
Friday morning's Daily Nebraskan.
Our congratulations go to the more than 1,000 Uni
versity of Nebraska students wno won ouisiancung recug'
nition for their scholastic achievements at yesterday's an
nual Honor's convocation. The freshmen whose names'
appeared on the high scholarship roles can consider them
selves off on the rieht foot toward making their next
three years in the University the most valuable educational
experience. The sophomores and juniors are a step turtner
along the way, maintaining praise-worthy averages and
developing as college should develop its students, .but tne
seniors, especially those with superior scholarship, are the
ones who have the greatest right to feel genuinely proud
of themselves. They are buttoning up their University
careers with a record deserving the greatest commendation.
Not once have they slipped along the way. When they re
ceive their diplomas, 'these symbols of fulfillment of Uni
versity requirements will have special significance. They
will not be mere meaningless scraps of paper; they will
signify success.
Few things could better boost University publicity than
Chancellor Gustavson's recent "swing around the state."
We sometimes think that we are the only ones with whom
Dr. Gustavson is a great favorite, but his popularity is
acclaimed throughout the state. His personal appeal, his
nationally proclaimed abilities, make him one of the biggest
drawing cards which the University possesses. The trip
through the state convinced the chancellor that ' Nebras
kans will be satisfied with nothing less than the best."
The best, of course, will be provided only if the next uni
cameral sees fit to supply the University with a great in
crease in appropriations. The last legislature left the Uni
versity "sadly short changed; we cannot afford to let a
similar betrayal take place again.
Block and Bridle's choices for awards to Ag students
win the approval of the entire campus. To Robert Beck
went the top prize for being high winner in the senior
division of the recent University livestock judging contest.
The national Block and Bridle club's gold medal was
awarded to Robert Raun for taking second place in the
contest. The national organization's silver medal went to
Robert Watson for winning first place in the Junior di
vision of the contest. . And Stan Lambert carried away
r.itior;! honors for being the outstanding member of the
I.Lrw..la chapter. These awards are of no minor sig-
r.ricince; they represent the recognition of far above..

To The Editor:
We do not hope we do not intend (nor do we care) to ex
press the dogma of the majority. Rather, we should like to present
the warped views of a small (O! very smaiij minority wno ieei
that the student body may best be served by their dissension.
At the moment, our concern deals with the two pertinent issues
on today's political agenda. These issues involve the respective sizes
of (1) the union and (2) ihe "Rag." We zealously pursue our futile
arguments in that one-two (1-2) order.
We are informed that many (if not most) students miscon
strued the meaning of our preceding articW. For the purpose of
clarification, we (quite frankly) intend to vote "NO!" on the proposed
addition to the Student Union. The singularly confused few who
misinterpreted our previous "Letterrip" should be censured for their
unseemly naivete with pool cue.
We have taken our stand. And now to elucidate. We vote "NO!"
not because we are blind to the manifold virtues of "snooker
and "Missouri Eight," but rather, our dissention stems from our de
sire to appear obnoxious and contrary.
We take a like stand on issue two (2). Despite unremitting
effort, we fail to see the value in the proposed expansion of literary
mediocrity. We condone and endorse two (2) possible alternatives
by way of improvement: (a) the utilization of different paper; (b)
the transition from its present state into one of non-existence.
Still "amid delapidated buildings, cracked sideswalks, et al.,"
(sic) we say, "Yea, every day, in every way, our campus is getting
bigger and bigger." And three (3) new maxims (just think! THREE
(3): "Viva the king-sized Union!" "Viva the king-sized Rag;" (and
for the point-punchy "Rag" staff) "Viva king-sized activity points!"
With all due servility,

To the Editor:
The University of Nebraska Young Men's Christian association
has had a successful year, both socially and financially. I, as presi
dent of the city campus organization, feel that much of the credit
should go to the superior publicity which we have received in the
"Rag." The complete coverage and prompt attention which your
publication has given the foreign films, elections, etc., of the YMCA
has not gone without extreme appreciation on the part of the offi
cers and members of the Y.
If the addition in size of the Nebraskan means that we will
always get such fine publicity, let me inform you that the Uni
versity of Nebraska YMCA is completely behind your program for
continued expansion.
In closing, let me again extend to you my heartfelt "Thanks"
for all the coverage that the YMCA has received during the past
school year.
Sincerely,
Ralph M. Hanneman
President, City "YM"

To the Editors:
It seems the time has come to make it quite clear just what
the position of I.S.A. is on the campus. The Independent Student
Association is a service group, organized to present a social program
for the 8,000 independent on the campus. We do not now, nor
have we ever stated that we represent all Independents attending
this school. It is our policy to provide an extra-curricular activity
program for any independent that wishes to participate.
Recently there has been some criticism of our last election, and
that we havt been ambiguou in our statements. It is true only
a small portion of independents voted in our last election. But
those students who voted were hopeful that the officers they elected
will present a social program for any Independent to rally behind
if they want This is our aim. Nothing more. It is our purpose to
give every student an opportunity to use his free time and talent
in our organization, not by seeking us but by our seeking him.
The editors of this paper have implied several times that I.S.A.
would be a good start for a political party on the campus. I want
to make it very clear that I.S.A. does not ever intend to be a political
organ. It will, however, encourage participation of its members
in all campus activities, political and- otherwise.
Independently yours,
Jim Tomasek
Vice president of I.S.A.
UC Seniors Give
Lights to School
A unique gift was presented
to Union College by the class of
1950 in a recent presentation
and dedication ceremony.
Seven brick pillars six feet
high, harmonizing with the ar
chitecture cf the buildings,
have been erected t junctions
of campus walks.
Topping these pillars are
three-foot, omni-d irectional
fluorescent lights. Paid for by
the members of the senior class,
the gift is valued at more than

Edgar Ortner, president of the
senior class, made the presenta
tion. Principal speaker at the
ceremony was J. N. Anderson,
professor emeritus of Biblical

Penn State Plans
Delayed Rushing
The Pennsylvania State col

residence halls beginning next
fall.
Freshman will be required to
stay the entire year in the resi
dence halls, but rushing by the
fraternities may start at the be
ginning of the second semester.
In this way newcomers will ac
quire good study habits while
providing excellent living condi
tions. "The fraternity rushee will
have a semester to look over the
prospective fraternities and can
make a wiser choice this way,"
said an interfraternity council
member.
Because of the heavy post
war enorllment, freshmen fra
ternity pledges were allowed to
join the fraternity soon after en

sent time.

Farmers' Fair means many
different things to many differ
ent people. To Lewis Badger
Halsey, it means a rip roarin'
cow-boy-time, or at least, ten-gallon-hat
time.
I'm sure that Badger's actions
need no verification. Here is the
story:
Badger, as he is known to all
his friends, was suppin' in the
Del Friday afternoon, and de
cided to model western style
hats. Leland Keister, Rodger
Egan and Jim Curtiss loaned
their hats as Badger strutted
around in a manner unmistak
ingly similar to Buffalo Bill. But
Badger returned them all and is
now resigned to a week of bare
headedness. The head is too big
for the hat.

Sam R. McKelvie dinner which
climaxed the annual Feeders'
Day on Ag campus Friday, heard
the successful rancher and pub
lisher of the Nebraska Farmer
outline his state of the union as
regard to Nebraska young men.
Formerly governor of Ne
braska, McKelvie had - this to
say:
Confidence in the future rests
on opportunities of youth today.
To destroy this is to destroy the
very foundation upon which our
society is built.
Don t ever start thinking
that you are indispensable. It
just isn't so. I've turned my job
over to other fellows, and invar
iably they've carried on as well.
"And when we think that we
should be on the job all the time,
were depriving some young
men of opportunity."
Such an attitude taken by one
of the leading agricutural men
in the nation should be a note of
encouragement to University
graduates of this year and to the
hopefuls of future years. ,

School Revision
New York State has made a
proposal to establish two-year
colleges in communities through
out the state, whereby elemen

junior high school four years,
and junior college four years.
This plan for combining the
