Cown atk Those coruhuskers seem to be well trained in making the best of an op- portunity. They have been trouncing the Wolverines so long in their public prints that they now appear to have worked themselves into a state where they honestly believe that Nebraska beat Miichigan by a score of 30 to 0 at tlie Very least.. They "won't have fig- ures enough in the case to Print the score by the time the winter is over and when civilization moves out into the wilds during the next decade they will still be relating the famous vic- tory.

"It is evi- dent," says our communicant, "that the Daily oppops es the referendum." All of this is net's to us. We haven't been able to make up our minds as to what we think about the referendum because e display ing Xmas ks and Cak 1lars from the Best and Latest Authors Over 1000, 50 copyright drama- ( tiyed novels.

Kirschbaum "The Original Young Men's Tailor" we have not yet been able to deter- mine just what those advocating the referendum mean by it, to just what they wish to apply it, nor what means they desire to use, to put it in opera- tion. There seems to be about as many ideas of what the referendum, as ap-- plied to university affairs, means, as there are persons thinking about it, The referendum.in its applications to national and state political go ern- ment has come to mean certain fairly definite things but when it is trans- planted to the campus it loses much of its certainty. As a theory we are most favorably disposed toward the referendum. As to its applications to campus affairs we prefer not to express a definite opinion as to its feasibility until We learn just what is meant by it as a campus institution. We pointed out certain advantages of the idea and some objections to it as they occurred to us. We commended it to careful study and consideration of the mom- )ers of the university, We remember a fight for direct vote by the students in the election of their representatives to the Board in Con- trol of Athletics which the Daily as- sisted in waging last spring only to run into a brick wall in the form of the Board of Regents. We do not know of any matters of importance in the uni- versity which are not either within the final control of the Regents or which the- Regents have delegated to the faculty. We recollect that the Student Council endeavored to exer- cise authority in the matter of a class election somewhat over a year ago only to find a higher power in the faculty which swept aside its decision. We do not know what the friends of the referendum expect to control by it but we have not heard it suggested as a means of final decision in relation to any matter in which the student body would have the slightest author- ity. We can well express our true sen- timents and wishes by referendum, but what more can we do? The only trouble with ap lying the arguments, relative to the referendum in its national field, to its campus applications is that in. the nation the people are the source of power while in the university all power is vested in the Regents.
