The present Councilmen have seen to it that a general statement of the accounts for the year has been giv- en publicity. For this and for their earnestness in endeavoring to strengthen the Council they are to be commended. We have believed that the accounts relative to public funds should at. all times be open to public inspection and that the present Coun- cil as successor to the former Coun- cils and custodian of their accounts should see to it that these accounts are open. This has now been accom- plished, the recent opening of the rec- ords coming on the heels of the inves- tigation of the disposition of the "bu- gle fund." We believe that the Council should proceed still further toward full frank- ness. We reiterate our belief that, in general, the meetings of the Council should be open to the university pub- lic.

Dashing Delbert, the dauntless duke of the dreary dungeon, darted dankly down the demonical decline and drag- ged the defenseless Doctor devant his dark den. "Dog!" drolled desperate Delbert. "Dog!, never," hissed the Doc- tor, "doc-u-ment!" Whereupon the strain of "Ike"Fisch- er's orchestra whiled away a pleasant evening for all present. Prof. Johnston to Address Engineers.

It is for us to place the facts as we find them be- fore our readers. We do not believe however that the Council which han- dled the "bugle fund" was guilty of any intentional misappropriation of public funds. We recognize that the Council must have money. We recog- nize its undoubted right to tax the classes and the student body for its support. That such measures should have been necessary to provide the Council with funds is unfortunate and is a matter for which the student body is in a large measure to blame. The Council has not been given prompt and adequate financial support. ''he pres- ent state of affairs reveals the necessi- ty for a definite and compulsory sys- tem of taxation. We do not believe, however, that the Council should raise money by special collection for a special fund and de- vote a large portion of that money to its general purposes. Whether it did or did not do that, it seems clear that what it did with the funds should be open to the student body. tdo P122 Ithr I UNI' VAN DOREN'S I THE BROWN D QUARRY' DRUG Before eight-thir ty p.mt JUST i SPR Wagner & Co.
