That the Student Council has
seen fit to reconsider its for-
mer action of retaining the
balance of the much disputed
"band fund" and turned the balance
over to the band is an action for which
it is to be commended. While a nar-
row technical construction might have
justified the retention of the fund for
the purpose of aiding in sending some
future band to some future athletic
contest we believe that the students
intended to bestow the money upon
the present band, in appreciation of
its services, to assist it in its work.
The band must have financial support
if we are to have spring concerts and
S music at the ball games. To this end
the balance of the fund has, after a
S long fight, been devoted. We believe,
it has reached its proper resting place
and that a discussion that has been
marked by much bitterness on the part
of both band and Council has been
closed at last.
The declaration of the Council of an
intention to place the disposition of
future surpluses before the student
body is also most pleasing. We be-
lieve that the surplus of a fund raised
for a worthy organization should be
turned over to that organization when
so doing carries out the general pur-
poses for which the money was given.
In the case of a balance in which no
organization has any interest we be-
lieve that the balance should be turned
into the general treasury of the Coun-
cil. This should only be done with the
knowledge and consent of the student
body, however. If the Council is ready
to recognize the right of the university
public which it was organized to rep-
resent to be informed relative to its
actions we believe that it has taken a
long step in the right direction. If the
Council has come to realize that it is
answerable to the student body from
which it derives what powers it is'per-
mitted to wield it is moving toward a
position in which it can secure the pop-
ular cooperation and support that is
necessary to its success. Again we
reiterate our position that popular
confidence is neccessary to the Council
and the Council can only secure it by
openess, candor, and complete frank-
ness.
If it were not for the fear that it
would thaw again before we could get
this in type we might occupy ourselves
in chatter about our "thaw catching
cold" as Hannibal remarked to the
Alps,
Anybody know any scandal? - We
haven't had an exposure worth print-
ing for some days.

Every time we see one of our pro-
fessorial friends descending into the
bowels of Memorial castle we regret
that we are such an uncompanionable
lot that he won't swap theories and
cigar smoke with us at the Union
across the way.

Why is it that every time one passes
a medical fraternity they are always
playing the "Skeleton Rag."
DISCOVERY OF POLE VITIATES
FORMER FALLACY, SAYS HOBBS
"To estimate the value to science of
the recent discovery of the south pole,"
says Professor W. H. Hobbs, "would
be more or less speculation at this
time. One question of extraordinary
importance, however, has been set-
tied for all time in that no longer will
there be any grouids for .believing
that there are two continents in the
Antarctic region. Heretofore scien-
tists have not been at all agreed on
this point, but Mr. Amundsen's work
has proved conclusively the existence
of but one land."
A peculiar coincidence connected
with the finding of the pole, is the fact
that Shackieton who failed to reachc
the spot himself some few years ago,
predicted that some explorer would
land there in December of 1911 andz
within a week of the actual time when
it was discovered.I

arctic this year. The English, Aus-
