STUDENT COUNCIL REORGANIZATION
THE 'MACHINE:HY of reorganization for Student
Council has swung into action. It is the time for
those who have advocated reform with fairer rep
resent4ion of students in government to support this
reorganization. It is time for them to 'cooperate.
Many students are familiar with the history of the
movement. It came to a climax last - April during the
political campaign to elect class officers. Student gov-
ernment reform became the pledge of each man running
for office. Each one elected was' pledged to reorganize
Student Council. The movement was supported by the
Collegian
Now it. seems that definite action has materialized
Actual reorganization is being attempted.. It can fail.
But it will not if those who are interested in student
government support it now. And it will succeed if it
received the support of the individual person in each
school. They voted for reform. It is their duty, as well,
to support. There is the final analysis government.
students and student leaders alike have the oppor-
tunity of performing a great service to the future of
student government
Hesitancy in attending discussions and meetings may
prove fatal. Student leaders may become disgusted and
ignore the voters, taking the work entirely into their
own hands. It will be diffidence on the part of the genL
eral student body that will be to blame if this happens.
CONGRATULATIONS TO LA VIE
LA VIE IS TO BE congratulated upon her first-honor
rating for last year. LaVie has always been a top
notcher in her field. It is fine that.she has maintained
her, position. Last year's editor, N'Vlt Peterson in par
ticular is deserving of commendation: This year's staff,
we teal confident, will maintain La Vie's position
SOUR NOTES
IN THE MAIL comes another of the numerous com
plaints the Collegian has received about the following
"Going to amplify those chimes so that they can
be heard five miles in the country? .Why amplify?'Why
not just take the infernal, discordant jangle five miles
Out in the country or even ten—and leave it there!"
• Objectors to the terrific jangling of the Old Main
clocli'every 15 minutes have been so numerous, and our
reverie so utterly shattered. upon numerous occasions
that w•e agree that the noise is tremendous and annoy-
Without casting any aspersions upon the boys and
girls whose class gift they represent;.we do think that
the ringing of them might be modified to twice an hour
or so, and still keep everyone informed as to what time
it is.
NOT OVER YET
TO FRESHMEN WHO may be heartened by the an
nouncement that there will be but two more R. 0. T. C.
parades this fall we wish to say that this silliness will
be followed by belly-rubbing on the Armory floor where
ycu will learn to splutter all over one side of the struc
ture.
Then there will he dry lectures where the teacher will
be as mystified as the student as to why a parallel
should be drawn between an azimuth and intestinal for
titude. Then there will be more shooting, and in the
spring, parades again.
The show never closes down. It has a full-season
LABOR PAINS
THE A. P. of L. CONVENTION in Denver has been
an interesting thing to follow. The A. F. of L. is un
questionably much stronger in the field of labor organ
ization than it has been for some time. Clever poli
ties by William Green added to an overdose from the
public standpoint of John L. Lewis-have been driving
numbers into the old line fold.
NOW the A. F. of L. brings forth an interesting argu
ment in saying that the NLRB shrill not have to medi
ate union disputes. It would appdar that they have
something there
It brings to mind the Cane at Ambridge, Pa., recently
when an A. F. of L. majority walked out because the
company wouldn't deal with them when the NLRB had
ordered an electric company to deal with the CIO. The
NLRB in this instance overruled a court order that de
manded recognition of the A. F. of L.
It appears that a perfect set-up has been provided all
the way along the line for a cagey old bird like Green.

How About A BUllgy
Some whip called 'Resides Taxi the night of 'the
Collegian dance and asked how much it would he
.to
take his girl :tad himself to the dance in a taxi. When
told it would he 2tl cents apiece, he replied, "Oh, hell.
11l hire a horse." Resides would like to locate the hay.
Philosophy Is Great Stuff
II we hadn't seen it, ourselves the other 'night in the
Corner we wouldn't believe it. But the Dna:km:in, in
tellect and philosopher supreme, came traipsing down
to the counter to pay It is dinner check with a napkin
tucked in the last button hole of his vest. had he
not been a great thinker, we would have Passed him
by for a waiter.
Perhaps, as philosophy goes, it was just a figment
of Lhe imagination. Maybe we just thcught it was
there. But as figments'go, this was TenlitY.
And Sikaking of Brains
Who was the babe in whose psych 1 'class, Who
after the prof had explained that morons should be
sterilized, especially pretty girl morons, asked why?
Kicked Out
Johnny Metzger, football first, is still thinking
about what be did last Saturday at the game.
It seems that John went over to.a man standing out
on the field and told him he'd have to get off the field.
The gent. said he would, but when John looked'sagain
he was still standing there. John told him this time
he'd have to move. Still the gent hung around.
Later John learned that the guy he'd been trying
to kick off the field was none other than Ccl. Shields,
president of the Board of Trustees.

To produce airplane wings which
are both lighter and stronger than
those now used on military craft is the
aim of Dr. Merit Scott, who has re
cently been appointed to an associate
professorship of physics. •
Six years ago, shortly before. corn
ing here, Dr. Scott invented the inflat

from coating on wings. At that time
he was associated with the Guggen
heim Foundation, for the Promotion
of Aeronautics.
Dr. Scott . . is himself 'a
pilot: He
does a considerable amount of re
search on airplane structural design,
and in devising methods of stress an
alysis.
In order to further his - experimental
work, Dr. Scott spends his summers
with airplane companies. Last sum
mer he was at the naval aircraft fac
tory in Philadelphia, working on a
problem involving aircraft testing
problems.
