Political Rumblings
-Are Heard
; VlflTH the announcement of several campus elec-
tlona, political machines will be again oiled
for action and dark clouds of political verbiage will
hang heavily over an otherwise peaceful campus.
About this time every year choice political
; plums of the Nebraska campus are dangled before
the eyes of ambitious men and women. Each year
. the Incentive to participate In the political game is
,too great, and pseudo politicians begin to take
.themselves seriously. This year, ws understand,
will be no exception.
At present, Nebraska women have monopolized
the political scene, what with the recent W. A. A.
elections, and Mortar Board selections to be voted
upon this week. Then too, we must not omit the
May Queen and Maid-of -Honor elections.
According to a story appearing In this morn
ing's Nebraskan, candidates for Mortar Board will
be voted upon by Nebraska senior women Wednes
day. The thirty receiving the highest number of
votes will automatically be considered for member,
ship in Mortar Board society. After this procedure,
candidates run the gauntlet of red tape before real
izing Ivy day success.
Another May Queen and Maid-of -Honor, whose
identities are kept secret until Ivy day, will be
elected Wednesday. Fortunately this is the last
major queenship Nebraska students will be forced
to realize this year, provided, of course, several
others aren't created in the interim.
While Nebraska women, naturally enough, de
clare vehemently that this side of the activity fence
is reasonably free from politics, the Nebraskan is
inclined to agree with the skeptics that even this
branch of student extra-curricular life is involved In
political machinations. Indeed, we suspect that
many strings are pulled to line up Junior hopefuls
for Ivy day success.
AST week the Student council set the day for
" spring elections at April 3. This is over a
month ahead of last year's schedule. It means that
campus political factions will begin festivities earli
er than usual.
Spring elections, commonly accepted as the ma
jor fracas of the year, offer student positions in the
Student council, publication board, and Ivy day
orator.
As is the usual procedure, both factions will
center their attention on securing the barb bloc of
votes. Last fall with the political turnover, barbs
' fell In with the progressive faction which, it will be
remembered, carried off the honors. The other fac
tion, auspiciously labeled the Green Togas, evidently
precipitated the revolt in political ranks.
At that time, it will be recalled, the party split
was regarded as little short of earth rocking. There
was much beating of the chest and flag waving by
over-enthusiastic undergraduates. More sober re
flection, however, reveals the shakeup as a natural
working of the undergraduate mind.
The spring elections will obviously test more ac
curately the strength of the two factions. Indeed,
the skeptics have predicted a short life for this ar
rangement. Organizations cf the delicacy of stu
dent political combines are usually built on a foun
dation of personal relationships. As such, the life
of these organizations is obviously determined by
tho strength of "ties that bind."
Turning aside from this aspect of the political
situation, the Nebraskan finds itself wondering why
such tremendous significance is attached to politi
cal factions. In all this time, no one has come for
ward with a justification for these organizations.
At best, campus factions do little toward bet
tering the interests of the student body. Rather do
they support only activity climbing Greeks and oc
casional barbs. Why factions should dictate the
fate of student elections is only a moot question.
Perhaps this year a better quality of candidates
will be foisted on Nebraska students. This will in
deed be a reversal from previous performances.
While the Nebraskan feels that it is assuming too
much for intelligent selection on the part of campus
factions, such a reversal in form would aid lm
measureably In Justifying, to a degree, their exis
tence on the university campus.
Inspired politicians, however, successfully over
look obvious discrepancies in their organizations.
As in former years the political scene on the cam
pus will be ss humorous as in tha past. Faction
meetings will be held in utter secrecy; future B. M.
O. C'l will be nominated; faction chiefs will save
campus political institutions for another year; and
the usual number of serenades will be perpetrated
thus drawing to a close another successful cam
paign, and with it the fruits of lc.fcor. You're not
supposed to ask what they are.
part these concerts have been successful. In add!
tion they have drawn, sponsors say, over 15,000
people.
The university symphony orchestra has a mem
bershlp of fifty-four, and a well rounded instrumen
iatlon. It has played at various points over the
state, and Judging from reports it is a highly com
menaabie organization. In addition, the program
that has been selected by the orchestra offers a
variety of compositions. Probably best known to
students is George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue."
The program and the apparent success of the .uni
versity symphony should behoove university stu
dents to attend this afternoon's concert in the coli
seum.
For Spring"
A Snotvstorm.
"IITE note on the calendar that Wednesday is offl-
cially designated as the first day of spring.
That should be good news to Nebraska students.
What with snow and mud on the ground, it seems
that spring is just around the same corner that
Hoover prosperity was lurking.
During the recent warm spell on the Nebraska
campus and elsewhere we noticed that our contem
poraries were heralding the approach of spring, the
twitter of robins, and the sprouting of buds.
The Nebraskan was skeptical. We resisted the
urge to splurge forth with the annual spring expos
tulation about the beauties of springtime.
Today we are not heralding the approach of
spring. On the other hand we predict snow for
Easter. In this manner we are able to resist the
temptation to write about spring until later. In
the meantime perhaps a "Snow for Easter" cam
paign may be inaugurated by the factions. Perhaps
better still would this be an enterprise sponsored by
senior honoraries.
Youth's thoughts are not turning to lighter
fancies. - Neither do robins chirp loudly. Buds are
not bursting. Spring is not here yet

The Future of
Education.
At a time when society looks fever more closely
at the public institutions which its taxes support,
the people of Wisconsin are s siting wnat ine uni
versity is doing concretely for them in return for
their sunrjort As money is increasingly harder to
get, those who spend it want more and more for
that money.
It is the move of a wise and alert university
president, then, to attempt to prove to the tax
payers that their university definitely beaems tnose
who sunnort it, as well as the students enrolled in
its colleges. President Frank in his Monday ad
dress to the faculty brought home to them the fact
that a new social mood no longer accepts the in
stitutions and structures of the last decade with the
old laissez-faire attitude. To preserve itself the
university mudt satisfy the questioning of the new
mood, as it easily can, by spreading its service, and
using its facilities for the wider aid of tne state ai
iarge.
Looking into the future President Frank sees
that it is not improbable that the decade ahead may
witness a widespread revolt against science and a
retrogression of the whole educational enterprise.
Any ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,
and if the advance of science and technology can
be put before the state in concrete service, it will
be saved from the revolt predicted by President
Frank, and instead of science appearing as the
force which has caused unemployment, maladjust
ment and overproduction, it will be seen as the only
possible solution for the future.

Just been published. Like Poet Ezra Pound from
Idaho and Poet T. S. Eliot from Missouri, Dr. Wil
liams writes with eccentricity and exoticism. Among
his works are "Kora in Hell" and "Sour Grapes";
his favorite is his "Red Wheelbarrow":

Brunet Dorothy Thomas, Lincoln authoress, has
published some twenty short stories in the past
three years, sprinkled among the quality magazines:
Harpers, Scribners, the American Mercury and the
Atlantic Monthly. Miss Thomas is now correcting
proof of the French translation of her novel, "Ma
Jeeter's Girls," and the Atlantic Monthly will soon
print her "First Love." Her favorite author is
Xatherine Mansfield, whose "Garden Party" is often
anthologized.
Katherine Mansfield's husband, John Middleton
Murray, has published her letters and her Journal
since her death, and he has recently added another
biography of D. H. Lawrence to the growing list
Known to the man-of-the-street for his untamed
"Lady Chatterly's Lover," D. H. Lawrence has also
written a novel which is one of the world's great
est: "Sons and Lovers." During his life Lawrence
was almost worshipped by all who came Into con
tact with him, and no less than a dozen of these
people have written of his strange life, including
Aldous Huxley, Catherine Carswe'J, and Norman
Douglas.
It i difficult enough to keep up with current
books oid classics often go unread. Half the peo
ple who talk of Thackeray's "Vanity Fair" have
never read it, and the same is true of Samuel But
ler's "Way of All Flesh.'
Critic Ludwig Lewisohn calls Pavl" Elmer More
the "idealistic critic of today, shielding himself with
Plato, precisely as thoughtful men did in the early
Christian centuries." Lewisohn's autobiographical
"Mid-Channel" is recommended again and again,
and his critical "Expression in America" deserves
high rank. His "An Altar in the Fields" appeared
early this month, but met with f aiat praise,
CIVIC ISIC WOK
Membership in Association
To Be Sold During
Drive.
With final plans approved more
than 100 workers are ready to
start membership solicitation for
the Lincoln symphony orchestra
and civic music associations, wnose
"Greater Lincoln music week"
campaign begins Monday, Mar. 19.
The solicitation will cover mem
berships for 1934-35 which entitles
holders to admission not only to
all the concerts of the Lincoln
symphony orchestra but also to the
artist presentations of the civic
music association.
Memberships will be available
only during the week of Mar. 19
to 24, inclusive. A new policy
adopted this spring eliminates the
sale of single admissions for in
dividual concerts.
Because of the great artists
brought to Lincoln on the course
of the civic music association, the
symphony, instead of presenting
artists with its concerts will have
guest conductors.
In this regard, symphony orches
tra heads received the following
telegram from Dr. Howard Han
son, who was guest conductor of
the ensemble in a concert here dur
ing last December in conjunction
with the nations? music teachers
convention. Dr. Hanson wires in
reply to a request to return to
Lincoln as a guest conductor next
year;
". . . snouia like very mucn to
arrange to come (to Lincoln) in
December if I could possibly ar
range dates here. Cannot know
with certainty until our own phil
harmonic schedule is completed.
Sincerely trust that Lincoln rallies
to the support of its fine orchestra.
It should have a great future if
properly supported. Regards.
Signed, "Howard Hanson."
Workers will assemble Monday
evening at the Hotel Cornhusker
for banquet at which time they
will be given further instructions
and will turn in the first reports.
Archie M. Furr is chairman of the
banquet committee. While many
workers this year have served dur
ing previous campaigns, there are
also a number or new names that
have been added to the campaign
list for this year.
The campaign is under the co-
direction of Mrs. Ellery Davis, rep
resenting the symphony group
and Mrs. R. Max Anderson, of the
civic music organization. The
membership fee in the combined
organization is five dollars, the
same fee that was formerly paid
for membership in either organiza
tion. The student fee will follow
on the same basis, or two dollars
and a half. Dorothy Holcomb of
the school of music, has been
placed in charge of student enroll
ment.
Campaign headquarters' have
been established at Schmoller and
Muellers, and the special campaign
telephone is B4490. An attendant
will be at headquarters each day
to receive orders.

their own in an effort to outdo
the other salesmen.
For example, Frances Kalin,
who has sold 25 subscriptions to
