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 sL . At i. i. J 4-1. AvniviinafiAII Student (Jouncii convention, mvesugateu cAammai,.

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 VII LUC CWIH V Miv wa. " l M. plans are always so carefully made that there are very few cases of error In judgment or execution. 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. Yours truly. Roy M. Green Dean, College of Engineering and Architecture 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.. gv;rr3 rcnormance. ; ; Union's date of summer activities offers a tantaiiz- '.n to anyone who plana to spend the warmer : r;hooL From photography instruction and ' -.--J to r porta films and square dances . . , the ; . :. 1 student should seldom be at a loss for en 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, Bill Sherwood Dave Ferguson 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" BY DICK WALSH If you see" students gaibed in streaked cotton dresses and grimey old denims, you see the signs and can't help but know that Farmers' Fair season is in the air. And underneath the sweat and dirt that has always accompa nied the initial work on Farmers' F a i r exposi tion lies the happy hearts and the tired muscles of more than a score of Ag gie students. This year's festivities are well under way. Adver tising is out. Signs are painted. U p houses have Barbecue and Walsh organized serenaded. 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 (1,000. Edgar Ortner, president of the senior class, made the presenta tion. Principal speaker at the ceremony was J. N. Anderson, professor emeritus of Biblical languages, and former mission ary to China.

Sua fryer, leadari Penn State Plans Delayed Rushing The Pennsylvania State col lege has recently proposed to house all freshmen. In campus 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 rolling in college, up to the pre sent time. and May morning breakfast at 5 p. m., Jan Johnson, leader. The Social Service tours group will visit the Christian Record Benevolent association where braille books are printed. town been dance tickets have been sold. Rodeo animals have been as sembled. And orchestras for the Friday and Saturday night swings have been engaged Of course, I'm not the person to be giving credit where credit is due. So all 1 11 say is, credit is due. a 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. . ' Agricultural enthusiasts at tending the Block and Bridle 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. , An illegal "synthetic cream" peddler from Iowa was caught in the act cf selling his concoc tion to a Northeast Nebraska cream station, State Agriculture Inspector Harold Gannon said Monday. A Morton's salt salesman noted Harold Alam selling a five-gallon can of . "cream" at two different stations in Teka mah, Neb., last week. According to an article In the Lincoln Evening Journal, the "cream" was "mostly lard, with a stabilizer, 1 or 2 percent cream, skim milk and enough dye to make it look like cream." The product passed the Bab cock butterfat test, but when it wag churned, "it went out with the butterfat," Cannon said. As a final word, don't try It. The human cream factory Is in the Burt county jail, sentenced to 90 days on a charge of selling adulterated cream, MB Committees Plan Ivy Day Plans for the 48th annual Ivy Day are being made for May 6 by six committees of Mortar Board, senior women's honorary society. The traditional day, which dates back to 1901, is held each year as the climax to a year of activities by student organiza tions. An Ivy Queen and court are presented, a band concert given, and contests are held for sorority and fraternity singers. Climax of, the day comes in the afternoon, when new Mortar Board and Innocent members for 1950-51 are masked and tapped. This year there will be no orator or poet as there has been in the past. Committees of Mortar Boards planning the event are: public ity chairman, Jeannie Sampson; Marilyn Boettger, and Mary Helen Mallory; invitations Ja net Eythe and Janice Cochran; band and flowers Mary Ellen Schroeder; ivy and daisy chains chairmen, Katy Clem and Jan et Fairchild; gowns Jan Nutz man; general arrangements chairman, Jean Eckvall; Dorothy Borgens, Gwen Munson, and Marcia Kushner. mm mm vmm Weidman. VY Proposes School Revision New York State has made a proposal to establish two-year colleges in communities through out the state, whereby elemen tary school would be six years, junior high school four years, and junior college four years. This plan for combining the last two years of high school and the first two years of college, tends to raise the community education level through the four teenth grade, it is reported.

America is now at war. in a tragic and very real sense, with the Soviet Union, Cecil Brown, radio commentator and author declared at the honors convoca tion held at the Coliseum. "I have just come back from a survey of nine countries of Europe. I must at once present to you a stunning fact. We are right now, in a tragic and real sense, at war with the Soviet Union." "My impression is that Russia need iot for the present engage in a shooting war." Nebraska Floods ' A Jeep levee at South Sioux City broke flooding about 2,000 acres as rising waters from the melting snows hastened new casualties over the state. As of yesterday, the Missouri has spread out over at least 75, 000 acres of land in Nebraska and Iowa, leaving about 300 per sons homeless. F e derally-constructed levees were holding, protecting areas behind them, but privately-built agricultural levees all along the Missouri were sagging. No let up is forecast in flood conditions. Five Years Ago Russian Friendship It was five years ago yester day that American and Russian armies racing across shattered and vanquished Nazi Germany met at the Elbe river.

Was five years ago dedicated to nothingness? What ever became of left handed hitters? This is the question that Tony Sharpe, baseball coach at the University of Nebraska, would like answered.
