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. ~~~x~ 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. _x_. 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 Six expeditions wintered in the Ant- arctic this year.
