Nebraska, unfortunately, cannot lay claim to ao

the downtown section of Lincoln restricts the
amount of land that can ba used. Tba campus, con

Alumni of elate schools generally are not ao lib

that ia because the state schools ara newer and
they do not bava wealthy graduatea. The alumni of
an Innitutton like the University of Nebraska, how
ever, ran ba of great aid even though they cannot
make large financial contribution a.
They can create good will for the university
throughout the atate both by their own achieve

university stands for the best in collet e education.
They can use their Influence In muring tb unlver

The Alumni association, aided by Chancellor Bur-

promoting interest tn the institution arooug the
alumni. Clubs ara flourishing ta email towns in
Nebraska and In many large cltiea throughout the
United States. By meana of these organuatlona the
alumni ara kept in closer touch with their alma

OPENING THE LIBRARY SUNDAY.
A CTION taken by the board of regents Thursday
a . . mil I 'i-li m r. , 1
open tea main .Ldorary ounaing- a-nu ouciai
Sciencea library to the student body on Sunday after
noons from 2 to ft o'clock. By Una move the regents
baa fulfilled a need long apparent at Nebraska.
No longer will the atudenta have to fight the
distractions of rooming houses and fraternity dwell
Ings in order to study Sundays. Many who have no
other place to go will tramp to the library and spend
an hour or two over worthwhile books and maga
zines.
Chanceller Burnett, Librarian Gilbert Doane, and
Dean T. J. Thompson deserve thanks of the student
body for the Interest taken In this matter. There
are many bigger projects the university might un.
dertaka, but probably none would yield gTeater pro.
Dortionata returna to expenditure involved than
opening the libraries on Sunday.
One unfortunate aspect of the situation is that
the Sunday opening of the libraries will begin in the
spring. When outdoors is pleasant, fewer visitors
will go to the libraries. But when the stormy days
of late' fall and winter arrive, there is little doubt
but that the Sunday library population will increase.
PACTION HONOR.
OST pertinent in the line of election gossip is the
opinion published today in the Student Pulse
column In which a self-dubbed bolshevik, Lenine II,
inquires whether faction or friend should be placed
first in student elections. Should a student vote the
faction ticket straight, or deviate when he knows the
opposition has nominated a better man T
Piqued because his fraternity ordered him to bal
lot for a certain slate, thia freshman wonders at the
wholesomeneM of such proceedings.
To the freshmen, the throes of university political
life at first seem quite obnoxious. The problem in
the mind of this particular first year student has
to do with loyalty to faction or to friendship. He is
sorely troubled. He need not be. It isn't worth it.
Take friendship every time, Lenine Junior. It's
a mighty poor friend who won't break party lines
and vote for his pal. It's a mighty poor citizen who
won't cast his ballot for the man he thinks will best
fill the position, regardless of factional affiliation.
In national and state elections, some party de
fections are always noticeable. In university the
situation Is even more personal. When friendship
enters in, all students should and most do, think of
their friends and not their faction. It is because of
the size of the University of Nebraska that factions
have arisen. Candidates cannot be known to so
large a student body. A few men are elected on
merit. The rest are carried by the faction.
Aa the young Russian contributor suggests, re
sponsibility should be laid at the door of the party
to select worthwhile candidates. Appeasing frater
nity faction members is not desirable. Honors can
not be passed around among: fraternities. The best
men ara the ones the university wants for its leaders.
Building up a responsibility within the factions
to choose he most capable men regardless of fra
ternal affiliations will bring worthwhile results v.d
will get men into office who expect to do more than
pose for the campus clothiers and yearbook photographers.
CORNHUSKZE ALUMNI.
TTHI president of a great eastern university once
said that be envied the warden of a penitentiary
because the alumni of those institutions seldom come
back to make suggestions.
Alumni nomtiraes do present perplexing prob
lem to college administrators. Some of tbem must

FOR FACTION OR FRIEND?
It seems to me that the political affairs at
the Unlveraity of Nebraska are about as mucky
aa a goupe sundae. Positively gooey is my verdict
Seeing as this is coming from a freshman my
assertions may be taken In that light. First of
all I'm not censuring party politics but I am trying
to get at things at a scientific angle, searching for
truth. If I may.
During the last national election the solid south
waa liquidized. The people of the nation voted
for the man instead of the party. The old band
wagon was evacuated and people took Into con
sideration what they considered the logical and
ethical thing. Precedents of party loyalty wero
abandoned. Would and ta such an action Justified
in our own university sphere of politics? Should
we vote for our faction candidates instead rf the
person we believe to be worthy of the bonor?
With the conception that political officea are
merely honorary positions bestowed upon fortunate
individuals by the vote of tha populus we face the
question, "What's the difference?"
The evidence of the election is summed up in
the person's autobiography tn the Cornhusker.
Political opinions, Ideals and principles are
being formulated during our collegiate career. Wa
are learning: about government and the management
of government. If we aee the affairs in the light
of a farce, a mockery of pure and uncorrupted poli
tics, we are apt to carry over these ides when we
enter national politics.
It is therefore of paramount importance that
we realize the significance of our early political
training and of making thia training profitable and
educational. If the function of the party Is to
select the best candidates voting should be based
on personal judgment. Party disloyalty? No, for
if we wish to preserve these parties we must have
fair elections and the selection of candidates must
be made with fastidious deliberation. Otherwise
factions are a failure and do no public good.
The factions should select their representatives
only after careful and meditative elimination. They
should put forth the best their party ha to offer
and the result of the election should be a personal
rather than a faction triumph.
If the ignorant and misled freshman votes for
the Red Flannels or Green Lingerie because it ha
been demanded of him be is violating his most
precious blessing indepenednt ressoning and in
dividuality. I am inconsistent. I feel a strong
urge akin to mob spirit that says, "Go with the
gang, but my conscience echoes, "Think before you
vote'
Let's see Tvhat Politicus can do about this this
base idealism.

WHY THIS UNFAIRNESS?
To the editor:
We grant that some scholastic requirement i&
necessary to regulate participation in activities. We
agree with the provision that calls for twenty-seven
hours in the two preceding semesters, and are ab
solutely in accord with the general intent of the
rule. But can anyone tell us why those twenty-
seven houra must be taken at the University of
Nebraska?
It is true that freshmen often enter activities
to the detriment of their scholastic work. But just
why should anyone from another school, who may
have bad excellent grades and tbe required number
of hours, be prohibited from entering the extra
curricular whirl? We fail to see any reason at all.
Of course, it may be that this ruling is neces
sary to remove all fear of professionalism in foot
ball. Yet it works a great hardship on all otber
branches of campus activity, and is obviously un
necessary in these other branches.
Why should other activities be made to suffer
because football is prone to draw .in professionals?
That is the fault of football, not the fault of extra
curricular activities in general. It seems to us
that the admir titration made the rule ccanral, w-hen
it actually was made to cover one point only, merelv
because they hesitated to throw any light on the
athletic situation. This would seem to intimate
thai there Is danger In getting at the real circum
stances. Is there?
