Nation.Associate Prof. Starr, of the de­partment of Anthropology, will de­liver a Lincoln's birthday address on"America's debt to Liberia" on Feb­ruary 12, at the McCormick Theo­logical seminary, Fullerton and Lin­coln avenues. The Liberian repub­lis passed a special act last Septem­ber expressing its appreciation andthanks for Dr. Starr's interest in andassistance to the republic. Mr. Starrreceived word of this action only afew weeks ago, as a communicationwith Liberia is practically cut off onaccount. of the war.

"In it I shall aim toshow the immediate conditions in Li­beria and the urgent need for aidfrom the United States. The duty ofthe United States in the presentemergency is evident.

KldW&7 IIIITHURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1915.A POWERFUL COUNCIL.For the first time in several yearsthe question of the power of the Un­dergraduate council has become ofparticular importance. Except in oneor two instances, no definite complainthas been made against the council,but there seems to be a general im­pression abroad that it has been try­ing to do too much, has felt that ithad more power than the student bodywishes to concede it.Linked with this opinion has grownup another, namely, that the councilhas felt that to maintain its dignityand the sacredness of its position, itwas necessary to "do something," tomake business whether the necessityexisted or not. From this determina­tion, it is maintained, have grown uppractices which have been more of ahindrance than a help.The council is the students" and canhave as much power as the facultyand the students are willing to give it.\Vith the permission of the faculty the,students may sign away their lives totheir representatives. But, on theother hand, the students may desire,even, to grant to the faculty alonepowers which that body is willing toconfer upon the students and to freethemselves from the responsibility.WHAT THE COUNCIL SHOULDNOT BE.The llaroon thinks little can be�aincd and much lost through havingan Undergraduate council which has agreat deal of power or control overUniversity activities. It believes thefunction of the council should be, ingeneral, to act as an organ of com­munication between students and fac­ulty, and to act as a central office andclearing-house for matters relating toUniversity student activities.To givc the council more power,legislative and executive, and, parti­cularly, judicial, would be to handover to a few students, chosen hy arelatively small portion of the under­graduate body, power which they arenot capable of wicldinz wisclv .. as arule, and which. it may he assertedstrenuously. they have no right topossess over students who are rc­spo ns ihlc to the Univcr sity authoritiesonly.Of cour s e, the Univcr s it v can de­liver its authority in such cases to the!'ttldents, hut such a policy seems un­wis c, bccause :(I) A widespread system of stu­dent government tcnds tohring out those evils whichare hi�hly ,,",l"�i!"��!�; ;��!ousies, fraternity log-rolling,and the like.(2) Too much emphasis is placedon the extra-curriculum activi­ties.(') Time and attention of the stu·dents is put out to the serviceof what must, of necessity, be- come a more or less compli­cated system of government:whereas, the University,t hrouzh its committee on stu­dent orgunizn tions, can easilyhandle the matter. without thet w o disadvantages mentionedabove .REALL Y A "COUNCIL."However, students are capable ofhandling their own individual depart­ments effectively. The best plan, theone the Univcrs'ity has always favor­ed, is that of students having' practi­cally absolute control of such organi­zations as the publications, the Black­friars, and the Dramatic club. Butthis privileg e, naturally extends onlyto those students who arc directly in­terested in these acrivitics.When the council attempts to ex­plain to these students how to do thisand how to do that, and arbitrar-ily toannounce what policy they shouldpursue, then the trouble begins.There are, however, some activitieswhich make a council necessary. Thecouncil serves as a medium fortransmitting from year to year tradi­tions and customs for the manage­ment of certain undertakings-theProm, for example-which have noself-reproducing organizations.I t may serve as a means of bring­ing the student body and the mem­bers of the faculty together. and itmay help in differences between stu­dents and faculty by presenting theside of the students, when appealedto by these students.\Vith a few exceptions, this has beenthe work done by the council in thepast. \Vhether there is a tendency atpresent to go beyond these limits isa debatable question, but at least it isa question. Each candidate for officeshould announce definitely what powerhe thinks thc council should have.Then the student body-or, at least,the voting portion of it-in thc com­ing elections can demonstrate theform of council it desires.�===========�SCALP OF, JUNIORSADDED TO COLLECTIONOF SOPHOMORE FIVETake Basketball Game by 28 to 8Score-Exhibit FastTeamwork.Standings in Interclass BasketballLeague.w.

It is planned to bring in thebreast stroke before the end of theQuarter.Coach White is pleased with theprogress of the men in the tank andbelieves that the present system willgive him a good idea of any menwho are capable of making the Var­sity squad. He also hopes to de­velop candidates for the Varsitywater-basketball team from thosewho are competing in the push ballcontests. The game of push ball isgood practice for prospective water­basketball candidates, as they learnhow to handle the ball and how tostand the "duckincs" that they wouldreceive in a real game.Hold Semi-Finals Tomorrow.The scrni-finals in the intcrfratcr­nity howling contest will he held to­morrow at.t.
