Ours is not a mission of leuloev or well-meriled uraise, we are merely ttlad to see the hih school students on the j campus, and hope they will enjoy their day I of sightseeing and work. A pleasant prou ram jot' trips through Lincoln's scenic spots has ; been planned, and all points to a successtul. j enjoyable day. One Flunk Isn't Failure. After a week of discussion, plan, counter- plan, and all the ai -umentative windings ot a normal investigatory committee, the student council finds itself the proud father, and moth er too, of an imbecile. The investigatory committee on itid campus polities worked hard, there is no doubt of that. And the report submitted to the coun cil read well and promised to alleviate the campus groans and moans about the under handedness, the unfairness, the perverseness of campus politics. Proudly, mama investi gatory committee presented papa student council with the ofl'sprintr. I'apa student ciiuncil iiiilped once or twice, collected his nits, and decided that the ofi'sprintr wasn't ::t till in harmony with democratic government, and with tiie cry of "Sac the pee-nul." re moved sect inn two. the life and irist of the recoiiimeiidat inn. Troublesome section two provided for the judiciary committee to somehow or other take into its hands the power of review over faction nominations, striking off the ballot the names of those men it considered unfit or incapable of holdinu' office. This power violates the section of the student council constitution which reads that the ballots shall be made up of nominations proposed by the factions in caucus. Any change of those caucus nomina tions would, obviously, violate the constitu t ion. Not only the constitution, argued a coun cil member, but would violate the democratic ri;:ht of any man to hold public office. "Who are we."' he thundered. 4'to decide on the mer its of a man we might or might not know.'" The council agreed with him. includiirj every member of the investigatory committee, and struck out the brain, leaving but a small bit of advisory power in the hands of the ju diciary committee. Thus the student council is faced not only with the fact that politics retain their status quo. but also with having on its hands an imbecile. The Daily Nebras kan suggests that the creature be put to a merciful death, the desk be cleared off. and a fresh start made. While section two was undoubtedly un democratic, and would place in the hands of the judiciary committee power unheard of and unprecedented in popularly elected legi slative bodies, the seriousness of a political situation which is sinking deeper and deeper into a quagmire of deceit and fraternity spite calls for strong-arm measures. Nothing can be done half-heartedly and with success. The student council cannot by advisory opinions control faction pledges. A fraternity promised an office for its support will get that office, no matter if its man is much inferior to another candidate. As long as there are combinations which regard not the welfare of the students nor the success (if campus organizations, but think only of their own prestige, that situation will exist. Merit lias ceased being a factor in campus voting. Political affiliation is the prerequisite for office. While that may he the evil of a democracy, and while factions perhaps are to be preferred to the chaos that, would result without them, yet some measures should be taken to control this evil, and to check the iniquitous activities of the parties.- The student council, it seems, is hitting in the dark. It has failed to make up its own mind as to just what it wants. Control of factions and politics, granted, but how and why and by whom is that power to be exer cised. If i proposed body of review is un democratic, then it has political affiliations which eliminate it. Amendments to the con stitution would require the approval of the Board of Kcgents. and probably would require a year for passage. Any change, to be ef fective, must be sweeping enough to require an amendment. At present the situation seems to be pretty hopeless. Inferior men will be nominated, will run. will sweep an election, and will serve on student governing boards because they have the right fraternity and fac tion pledge back of them. Factions will re sort to attempting to split the other's votes, will attempt illegal voting, and will by strong arm methods attempt to influence voters. The investigatory committee must not cease action. Its work has but begun. Some thing must be done to curb the flow of fra ternity and politically backed men into stu dent government, and something will be done.
