A GRAND OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS.
Next week the chancellor will call a meeting of the men of the University to find out the real sentiment of the student body concerning a students' day and a students' council. He will discover whether the agitation for both these features is from a few active demagogues or from the majority of the students. All reforms must come from the students themselves and the chancellor is willing that they should have every thing they want within reasonable bounds. The meeting will afford an opportunity for every man on the hill to express his opinion of a students' day and students' council. There should be speeches by conscientious students who take the matter seriously. If enough serious minded men attend the meeting called by the chancellor a committee will undoubtedly be appointed to draw up a scheme for a council and the student body will enter upon an era never before known. School patriotism will increase wonderfully, societies will be organized among the students to give the University publicity over the state and to increase the enrollment of the school. The chancellor will receive a fuller aid from the students before each legislature and the graduates will look back upon their alma mater with tenderer memories than is possible under the present arrangement. School spirit is the key to a great University. A students' council, in a hundred ways, will further this spirit. Every student should attend the chancellor's meeting, let him know that the student body thinks on these matters. Be present at the meeting or forever hold your peace.
Whenever some student gets a particularly lazy streak and wants to cut class he merely announces the fact to his classmates and brands all who refuse to follow him as "pikers." Now no student wants to be a "piker," whatever that is, and
so generally they will cut the class against their own wish and better judgment. The majority of the students that cut class do not really wish to do so.
