The Answer Is Not
In Faction Dissolution
A specially appointed Student i oiineii
committee is concerned with heated hemming
and hawing about the merits or demerits of
Ihe present ciimpus factional setup. The Stu
dent Council, upon recommendation of several
of its members, is engaged in a "cleanup poll
lies" campaijm.
In years past, when there resounded over
the stately mall a cry of "dirty politics." and
when uncomplimentary tidings wafted thru
fraternity smoking rooms, campus pohticos
raised a "supercilious eyebrow and smirked a
bit. if they were on the winning side; went into
.secret, vengeful sessions if on the losing.
lint there has come upon tlie people of
the campus enliybl enment , and with it a new
day So the investiuatory committee.
' No more besmirched political linen wid
lie aired in judiciary committee meetings, and
y i veil the submissive approval of "it happened,
so what are you going to do about it;" no
more will fraternities rule campus factions.
That is, no more if t lie in ventilatory commit
tee's hypotheses work out as well in practice
as when they are propounded in the heat ol
argument.
One does not require the use of clairvoy
ant powers to discover the why of the present
radical proposal to ban factions from partici
pating in the coming fall election, l'olitics last
spring, due to the formation of tbird parties,
alignments, realignments, independents, and a
general eonuloinerat ion of all the existent po
litical deviation, fell into a stagnant morass.
Not only was the election to Student Council
offices protested with resulting disclosure that
approximately :'() percent of the votes were
miscast, according: to the I'imires submitted to
the Student Council, but election of officers
in various campus organizations seemed based
on party affiliation, and not merit. Conse
quently, three elections were brought before
the judiciary committee for adjudication.
The arguments against factions are five
fold: 1. Incapable men are placed in responsi
ble positions which they fail to fill satisfac
torily. 2. I'Vatcrnitics dictate faction policies,
with' the result that large fraternit ies shove
their candidates into power. :i. .Men of small
fraternities and barbs have small chance to
prove themselves. 4. Factions use unscrupu
lous means to place their men in power. :". I'n
der the factional system there is a concentra
tion of power in the hands of few men.
The vices of the faction so enumerated are
the vices of democracy. Similar reasoning can
be applied to our national and state political
machines with similar conclusions. No more
do fraternities control factional policies than
cli.pies and blocks control state politics, dic
tating the men they want, seeing to it that
their favorites are well taken care of. The
electorate is not always enlightened in the ca
pabilities of the men it chooses to be its repre
sentatives. !ood men are overlooked, it is
true, but where are they not 1

one is knocked down and fallen

That the attitude on the Nebras
ka campus has changed toward its
major sport interest is evidenced
by another article in the Nehras
kan's forerunner: "The athletic
association of Illinois college is
making efforts to raise by private
subscription, fifteen thousand dol
lars with which to build a gym
nasium. We should like to know
how long it would take the ath
letic association in the IT. of N.
to collect that amount of money?
Evidently we are not such enthusi
astic admirers of athletic culture
as the people of Illinois college."
Bemoai.ing the ignorance of the
importance of the state university
on the part of the citizens of Ne
braska was the lament of the edi
torial comment. Small denomina
tional schools were tied as the
chief cause of lack of interest ami
support of the university. In an
other editorial, the editor denies
that public speaking is out-of-date.
Debaters probably were obliged to
uphold the merits of their own
interests.

President Admires Capitol.
The president began his speech
bv Having; admirable tribute to
the state's most striking piece of
architecture, the capitol building!
As the chief executive praised
their edifice the majority of Lin
colnites were obliged to turn away
from the dynamic speaker to look
at the capitol. At least half of
the 25,000 executed an about face
and gazed in wonder at the great
gilded dome crowned with the
statue of the sower; an out of
state observer might have thought
that Mr. Roosevelt brought the
capitol with him.
While the president talked,
friend to friend, to the crowd, in
the appealing vein of the astute
politician, which he is, the crowd
talked about something else. In
fact the president's income figures
were received into our mind with
an admixture of complaints on the
part of one little Suzie, directly in
front of us.
Suzie Was Curious.
Suzie was a sweet blonde child,
between the ages of 3 and 4, who
did so badly want to see the presi
dent. Daddy finally succumbed to
her somewhat raucous persuasion
and lifted her up on his shoulder.
But it was all to no avail,' for little
Suzie couldn't tell which one of the
men was the president.
Nebraskans may have been in
terested in F. D. R.'s figures on
the increase in the national income
in the last three and a half years
and in his analogy on the farm
program changing each year to
keep up with the changing models
in automobiles, but they responded
only slightly to the efforts of the
scattered democrats to get the
clapping and shouting started.
Mr. Roosevelt wanted the citi
zenry to distinguish truth from
falsehood in the current campaign,
to separate the wheat from the
chaff, so to speak, but the people
in our vicinity wanted fiercely to
know whether the football game
had Btarted up in Minnesota.
When Mayor Bryan expressed
the wish that Mrs. Roosevelt Kay a
formal 'howdy' to his clients and
maybe wave and smile, his clients
expressed a wish that she speak to
them. She declined. The powdered,
painted and plumed lady on our
right did not feel that the first
lady was exactly the fashion plate
she might have been. The intelli
gent looking lady 011 our left felt
that Mrs. F. D. looked much better
than her pictures.
Then the crowd, that had come
to see, and not to hear, hurried to
their radios. Nebraska was hold
ing her own.

Miss Amanda llcppner, dean of
women, stated that the organiza
tion was extremely worthwhile
and should appeal especially to
girls interested in religious or so
cial service work.
As a I'eaune of the opening of
the finance drive, workers who
have been named to assist in the
campaign will meet at Ellen
