GIVING
University girls who know the work that Miss Grace Coppock,
'05, is doing in China will be quick to respond to the call for funds to
ray her expenses another year. It is a fine thing to think that Ne
braska university students are taking time out of their busy lives
to remember the girls of the other side of the world, who are still
ages behind American young women in attaining the finer woman
hood that has come with the recognition of "woman's rights "hack
neyed as that phrase is.
Too often one hears upon the campus complaint that too much
charity is being sought, that the University students are asked to
give more frequently than the request Bhould be made. Rather the
reverse is true, that the call for free will offrings is not hard often
enough. It is only rare instances that giving by University students
reaches the point where it involves a sacrifice on the part of the
giver. Until it does reach that point, the surest joys of giving are
not realized.
THE RIGHT TO VOTE
Closing the polls on election day during the convocation period
is an unnecessary and a thoughtless imposition upon the students.
More than 100 were in line yesterday morning, ready to vote, when
this was done. Profably at least half of them lost their vote as a
result.
The University authorities, who are in charge of the student elec
tions, should follow the general custom of making it as easy as pos
sible to vote, instead of hedging the ballot box with restrictions that
cost some students the privilege. The announcement made Tuesday
that the polls would be open from 9 to 12 should have been binding.
If the polls were closed to get the students to attend convocation,
that plan failed. If holding the election in the east end of the armory
disturbes those attending convocation, the remedy would be to hold
the election at some other place, not shut the polls. If a better place
is not available the Daily Nebraskan offers its office for 1 he next elec
tion, so that all may have a chance to vote.
THE NEW OFFICERS
The University expects of the new officers sincere and unselfish
service. Anything less than that is unthinkable of those who have
put themselves forward as leaders of a community that is a selected
group of people a community that is concentrated with culture, edu
cation and ideals.
The time has passed at Nebraska when a successful candidate
can use his office as a place for petty politics and the spoils system.
Should any of those who were elected yesterday attempt to do this,
they will rightly earn the contempt of their class.
A PREFERENTIAL BALLOT
The results of yesterday's election apain show the necessity for
the preferential ballot for University elections. The successful jun
ior candidate, but one vote ahead of his nearest competitor, was the
choice of less than a third of the class. A preferential vote would
have made more certain that the wishes of the majority were triumph
ing. The Student Council, a representative organization that will be
established at the University this present semester, must be elected
by a preferential vote. It is hoped that this council, if the classes
do not themselves take action, will start a movement that will put
all elections at the University on the preferential basis.
