The hibernating lion stirs!
The lion of conipuH spirit wliii'h has been asleep for
c lnnir io ounlfPninir His movements Tuesday shook the
t5 l" ..''"--n- ' - .
entire campus and the quakes he caused are awakening stu
dents to a realization that all is not as it used to be.
Tuesday the largest election in the history or ine uni
versity of Nebraska brought out over 1,300 voters. Nor

straight ticket because they
Blue Shirts had tho high total
and still did not elect as many
merited. And the parties are
Blue Shirts were elected to the Student council, seven l enow
Jackets, two Barbs, one independent, and twelve women.
The publication board is now composed of one Blue Shirt nud
two Yellow Jackets.
Just one year ago now the Blue Shirt faction meandered
to the polls and swept every elective position without ex
ception. Thus far this year, they have been without oppo
sition and have not been scored against. But Tuesday the
Blue Shirts, for the first time in two years, felt the sting
of defeat.
Nor was this defeat a repudiation of the Blue Shirts.
For the Student council this year was almost entirely of
that faction and has accomplished many worth while things.
The secret of the affair is that the campus activity becomes
deadened when one party remains in control too long. The
campus needed a change they made it.
The beginning of this change occurred early last fall
when the Daily Nebraskan began an investigation into the
lack of campus spirit. The project was referred to the Inno
cents society who in turn took their recommendations to
the Student council. Out of this grew the present Barb
organization to which much of Tuesday's surprising election
result must be attributed.
The Barbs concentrated mainly on the engineering col
lege and their concentration resulted in the election of both
of their candidates. It is now common knowledge that the
new group formed an alignment with the Yellow Jackets
which seems to have worked out successfully. Now, per
haps they may feel powerful enough to paddle their own
canoe. At any rate, the Barbs should feel elated enough
over their victory to keep their organization together, in
so doing, grow to its rightful place in the campus political
sun. ,
The Yellow Jackets, who have been floundering about in
the doldrums for two years, have at last come into their
own. They have worked hard and their efforts have been
rewarded. They made a conscientious effort to win Tuesday
and they were successful no end. The Yellow Jackets, too,
have something to work for now. They have come out of the
cellar and their victory should encourage them to stay there.
And with the present provisions for class presidencies, they
should file candidates here and give the Blue Shirts some
more competition.
And what of the Blue Shirts? What of them, in
deed? They have been victorious for so long that the de
feat must be bitter indeed. But there is no medicine so
stimulating to victory as defeat. Now perhaps the Blue
Shirts will come down to earth and struggle for the next
election. The fact that the Blue Shirts won a majority
of faction preference votes indicates that Blue Shirts were
voting their preference but jumping the ballot on candidates.
This is commendable, for if voters believe a candidate of
another party is better than a candidate in their own group,
they should vote for him. The Blue Shirt preference victory
meant something else, too. It meant that many women vot
ers were tearing up the preference ballot. Then, too, it
meanUhat the Blue Shirts got one man on the council by pro
portional representation.
Yes, the lion is awakening. It begins to appear as
though perhaps the Nebraska spirit of years gone by might
return. It begins to appear as though students really do
have campus spirit after all. The situation, ns it stands,
is full of potential fire. It can only be hoped that all
future elections are as clean and as fiery as the one Tuesday
and that all students continue to take a real interest in the
University of Nebraska and all of its institutions.

SEVEN COUNCIL SEATS
The explanation for the Yellow
Jacket triumph seems to lie in the
fact that the barbs voted solidly
with them on all offices in return
for which the Yellow Jackets sup
ported the two barb candidates
from the engineering college, both
of whom were elected.
The Blue Shirts faction prefer
ence poll was highest, indicating
that the barbs and Yellow Jackets
voted separately for their respec
tive factions. But with the com
bined force of Yellow Jackets and
barb votes for Yellow Jacket and
barb candidates, the Blue Shirts
were vanquished.
The scattered votes or unorgan
ized women who in all probability
divided their votes to some extent
may also account for the triumph
of the Yellow Jacket faction. This
scattered vote is also responsible
for the divergence in the number
of votes polled by members of the
same faction running from the
same college.
Names Written In.
A number of names were writ
ten in on the ballots. In several
races not enough students filed to
fill the quota necessary. As a re
sult several who were . ritten in
were elected.
Warren Debus, was the man
chosen from Teachers college uy
being written in on the ballot. Wal
lace Webster was elected in the
same manner from the College of
Dentistry. Valentine Klotz from
the Agricultural college, and Vir-
rene McBride rrom tne scnooi or
fine arts were also elected by hav
ing their names written on the bal
lot. The two men who were elected
in this manner are both Yellow
Jackets.
The vote Tuesday was much
heavier than it has been for sev
eral years. Indication of this
heavier vote is shown in the fact
that the senior at large polling the
highest vote, received approxi
mately 200 more votes than the
largest vote getter at last year's
election. In the factional pref
erence ballet, the Blue Shins
polled twenty-eirht more votes
than last vear, hile th- Yellow
Jackets polled 238 mc-s votes than
they polled last year. The barb
preference vote wc approximately
the same this year as last.
Three Innocents Picked.
The three seniors at large are
members of the Innocents society.
Pinkerton, who polled the highest
vote, is a Sigma Alpha Fpsilon, a
member of Kosmet Klub. Junior

Amanda Heppner Stresses
Developing Talents
By Interests.
H0N0RAR1ES HAVE VALUE
"If the activities a university
student participates in are directly
connected with his major interests,
thev are valuable to him, other
wise they are not," is the belief of
Dean Amanda Heppner. "Activi
ties" was the subject of Miss
Heppner's talk before Vespers yes
terday afternoon.
Correct selection or activities
Important since it is through them
that students have the best possi
bilities for development of their
attributes. "The word 'activity
means leading out," said the
speaker, "and so it is appropriate
that outside Interests are those
which will give expression to cer
tain abilities and talents."
Miss Heppner mentioned various
types of activities and their value
to students. Tbey give a student
social training, poise; and the stu
dent Jearns to submerge his own
will in the interests of society.
There are opportunities to develop
in every way in activities.
"Students are not sufficiently
interested in bonoraries, and pro
fessional societies," Miss Heppner
said. "They do not realize the real
value that these groups may have.
We all come to college with the
idea of helping ourselves, but we
also have an altruistic idea to do
something to make the world a lit-
Itle better.'.'
