STORY HARDING

For This Isius
THE AFTERMATH
Election Day has come and gone, along with some successful
and some disappointed candidates. To the great surprise of many,
there was a real election day atmosphere everywhere and campaign
ing was rife. One could not enter the Social Science building with
out being approached by an interested, enthusiastic worker with a
"Are you a freshman, in a junior?" and thus the day went. The
halls rang with "Whom did you vote for?" and "Now listen, let me
tell you about Mr. So and So." One unusual feature of the election
was the intense rivalry In all classes for offices, and the candidates
were indeed well matched, as the close results show. The freshman
contest was a true hot-box and the eager friends of both aspirants
for the longed-for honor, rushed wild-eyed here and there for voting
material, and had long confabs over various turns in the tide of the
day's events.
This is considered the largest number of votes ever polled in
class elections and this fact is very satisfying to those who hoped
to see the student body interested in school affairs. College is the
place to awaken an interest in politics, since after university life,
every citizen is expected to take very seriously his constitutional
voting right. We hope that this election will start a movement to
put class election control in the hands of the students rather than a
political machine. Too often class offices are honors bestowed on a
more or less grateful member of the class. These honors, (as they
rightly should be, but so often are not, because of machine control)
should go to students interested in further class spirit and activities.
CAMPAIGN FRIENDSHIPS
Interesting comments have been made these last few days con
cerning elections and friendship. In fact, someone said that you
never realized how many friends you had until campaigning began.
It really surpassed "Hello Week" this time for people seemed to
wake up to the practical value of friends. We wonder just how long
this brotherly spirit will continue. It might also be interesting to
know how many supposedly good friends were lost because of politi
cal differences. The general spirit was very friendly and we hope
that university students will not be so childish as to let such differ
ences become Kludges.
The student who never makes mistakes mlssos a lot of good
chances to learn something.
ARE YOU CURIOUS?
"Curiosity killed a cat" and the modern sage adds "but satisfac
tion revived it again. "It is said of Lyman Abbott, eighty-three and
a well-known editor, that the secret of his youth is that he has pre
served the intellectual curiosity of eighteen. No man is ever really
old until he has ceased to learn, or to be "up and doing, with a heart
for any fate." If university students would take a more Inquisitive
interest in general campus affairs, they would begin to realize what
a really big work Nebraska University is doing. Get acquainted
with something outside of your own social group, your particulai
department or activity and be a real Nebraska booster not boosting
on hearsay, but actual, fact information.

THE DAILY DITTY
by
Gayle Vincent Grubb
You can talk about the national poli
ticians
And the crooked stuff they pull to get
a vote,
But say! These guys will have to
boost ambitions
If they want to be the high moguls of
note.
And what I mean is, they don't hold
a candle
To the guy who runs for office in a
school ;
Politics? Say, they can't begin to
handle
What these amateurs are pullln' as a
rule.
They drag you 'round and pat you on
the back,
And call you slick and guide you to
the polls,
They say "Mark here," and do It
with a knack
That beats the preacher's way of win
ning souls.
But when the count is over, you're
the bunk,
You were nuthin' but the boob that
falls for flash;
All the honey talk was nuthin' else
but junk,
The make-believe has burned down to
an ash.
I suppose there ain't no use for me
to rave.
You've all once been the instruments
of use;
But doing so, you're nuthin' but a
slave.
And each new day helps make a bigger
goose.
