About All We Can Do
Is Try Another Hatch
God, give us leaders.
It's an annual prayer, and never so timely as
the day when Nebraska's activities boys and girls
graduate into the ranks of the senior honoraries. '
More significant to the campus should be the spring
elections next week, when students are given their
one opportunity to demand certain things from
self-governing agencies.
Our prayer would not be doleful if those in
high office had fulfilled their responsibilities dur
ing the past year. The need would not be keenly
felt had students in elective positions principally
the Student Council increased the value of extra
curricular life for the average student.
The record of this supreme governing body
has little to commend it. Members mulled over fac
tional politics, meddled with other organizations,
and appropriated new powers for their own use
all with little or no constructive accomplish
ment. Their opportunities for fruitful labor were
Ignored. The student bookstore, supposedly a stu
dent enterprise in part, was allowed to fall into
administration hands, and its professed "savings"
to student buyers have become a farce. Only one
student forum that one successful enough to war
rant many more was held. When an enterprising
group of juniors presented a class organization
program, they were delayed and ridiculed by need
less committee bickering. Their greatest accom
plishment in launching the new student union gov
ernment was the selection of political appointees
to the union board; but one of their membership

Do or Don't They
Give a Damn?
By John and Joan Barb.
It can't be true, it seems almost
beyond the realm of possibility for
such a thing to come about but it
has, for a fact it has. In the short
space of only three days no less
than two students pulses on the
barb situation have found their
way to the editor. "The barbs don't
give a damn," says Adrienne Grif
fith, "The barbs do give a damn,"
says Kenneth Mill. Neither offers
a practical remedy to pacify or
satisfy the "hair tearing barb polit
ical leaders" but the mere fact of
their writing indicates that there
are hidden about the campus a
few barbs who do care enough to
stand up on their hind legs and
shout what they think.
Two out of 4,158 barbs is
hardly enough percentage to
give the "lie" to the oft-voiced
claim of barb insensibility to
campus affairs, but it is a step
in the right direction. Pulse con
tributors Griffith and Hill were
at least conscious of the fact
that there were barb and Greek
students on the campus and that
the unaffiliates were trying to
accomplish things in a political
and social way.
John and Joan
Tell All:
For over two months Joan and
John Barb have been columnizing
for the barb cause, trying to let
you know what is going on .trying
to bring aobut a modicum of barb
solidarity. Thus far we have with
held our own opinion as to what
is really wrong in the b&rb camp.
Today we let down all restraint
and tell you. If you agree with us
say so; if you don't, say so; but
for gosh sakes say so:
The reason barbs don't care is
not because they won't, but be
cause they can't. And our reason
for saying so is based upon a lit
tle private delving into barb polit
ical history, and a great deal of
personal back of the scenes ob
servation of barb-Greek political
"deals."
In the past elections barbs
have been sold down the river.
We wait only until the publica
tion of the lift of student coun
cil candidates to pass out judg
ment in this. In brief: The whole
history of the barb group, but
especially of the Interclub coun
cil, indicates that yearly one or
two politically ambitious barbs
obtain control of certain united
barb groups. The next year they
go fawn upon fraternity faction
bosses; pledge the whole barb
vote if the faction will promise
to nominate even only them
one or two men mind you ; and
let the rest of the barbs go
hang. Why should they care
about the rest of the barbs?
They are nominated and that's
that. Last year the barbs
chummed with the progressives,
got one man nominated for the
student council, one for the pub
lications board elected only
the pub board candidate.
In next Tuesday's election the
Barbs are teamed with the Liberal
party. In joining this faction, the
Barb Inter-club leaders were prom
ised 50 percent representation. Un
der such an arrangement the Barbs
should be given six. certainly no
less than five candidates on the
Student Council ticket. Have they
received them? If not, we promise

Barb, of the Barb A. W. S.

The Council itself should be

new set of duties. Merely spon

is not instituted it is time for
Dean Thompson, Dean Heppner,
and the Student Council judic

If the Barb Council cannot per
form a truly valuable function
for the campus unaffiliates, it
might just as well be scrapped
the sooner the quicker.
Wa believe that the council can
have a valuable function: but
its rests upon you, Barbs, whether
such new and more powerful funs

To Barbs, the election of Barb
Council nominees Tuesday is more
important than the Student Coun

the choice of his candidates, can
effect the desired changes in the

She expressed much admiration
for two enormous tusks suspended
from the ceiling of elephant hall

great tuskers in Africa so wearied
by the weight of their own ivory
that they would rest their tusks
on banks, on limbs of trees, and
even on the backs of other ele
phants. The ancestral beaver in the Mor

for camels. A woman who has
been chased up trees by rhinocer

ordinary a matter as a camel.
From two to three o'clock Wed

can take credit for work on the union consti
tution. The student leaders, more than ever before,
must realize that their election or appointment is
the beginning of, and not the prize for their labors.
A wider field of opportunities is open to the new
class, and the rest of the campus, with more at
stake than in any previous year, should demand
that they meet the challenge.
Student responsibilities on the union building
governing board will eclipse those of any single
organization now on the campus. The bookstore
must become something more than a profitable
administrational sideline. Student forums should
become the center of campus controversial Interest.
Other opportunities, some ancient and some
untouched, are still open to well-directed work. A
series of great artists and noted speakers con
vocations would be a valuable addition to this
university community. Possibilities in special fields,
such as the organization of unaffiliated students,
arc endless. Housing conditions for those living
off fraternity row could stand a thorough clean
ing. The university building program, with the ad
dition of a men's dormitory, still demands student
efforts.
If Nebraska's spring election could become
contests over issues instead of popularity of in
dividual candidates, half of these problems of stu
dent government would be solved. But no little gods
ever had clay feet half as lifeless as the faction
platforms worshiped for the limited period of two
campaign days.
We can only pray that some of the new In
rocents, Mortar Boards, and student council mem
bers will take their positions seriously, and con
sider their new offices more than a reward for
smoking campaign cigars with the right people.

Melchers to Describe Nile Life.
A description of "Life and
Scenes Along the Nile" by Dr. L.
E. Melchers, chairman of the de

directly applicable to Nebraska,
according to Dr. Weaver. He in
vites everyone interested to attend

speaking in behalf of the faculty,
said that they would be able to
boast of a first class team. He

win by the lop-sided score of 24

"A close race" was all that
John Howell would predict regard

bore him out in this, but hoped
to give the faculty the short end

this late rusii,
which is in no
' i way aided by
.SfWJ th'e intensity
a ml sneed with
ft
which tlm leg
islators are now
working- that
we met Senator
Hugo Ashniore
of Palisade.
During the
term we have
picked the sen
ators for inter
views at ran--Lincoln
jmirnaldom; no legis
lative accomplishments or favors
have blotted our choice.
Altho Senator Ashmorc has had
no previous legislative experience,
he feels that he has learned more
during this session of unicameral
proceedings than lie could have
hoped to learn under any old sys
tem. That the legislature will
only be what type of men the
public chooses to represent them,
has been the senator's firm belief
since the beginning of the session
last January.
"Probably tho most efficient
type of government would be a
dictatorship if we hud a perfect
man to be a dictator," the Palisade
senator maintains. "But since all
men are human and possess the
frailities of all human beings, the
best government must be close
to the people thru equitable repre
sentation." Senator Ashmore prides himself
on being probably the second
senator in line when it comes to
introducing the least number of
bills. Next to Speaker Warner,
who has introduced no bills, the
district 37 representative is second,
having introduced only four bills.
But the bills that Senator Ash
more has introduced produce a
different story. Of the lour, three
have been passed by the unicam
eral and have already been signed
by the governor.
One of the most important bills
to the Palisade senator was bill
310 which provided for audits of
country government. Legislative
bills 245 and 216 were also his
specialties. These two bills pro
vided for a budgeting system in
county government. Mr. Ashmore
is a member of the legislative ad
visory committee, the revenue
committee, the government com
mittee, and the labor committee.
Mixing a bit of philosophy
with his political comments, the
senator is sincere in believing
a Nebraska senator can make
an honest mistake and be proud
of it. It is only when the
senator makes a dishonest
mistake he believes, that poor
legislation will come. He be
lieves that the lobbyist has too
much Influence in the new legis
lature, but deems the corpora
tion and organization repre
sentatives a "human element."
"Every voter should serve at
least one term in the legislature
of his state," the senator says.
If we could bring about thu
situation we could have the
most intelligent legislative body
ever on record. Representatives
every day are faced with criti
cism mainly because the public
does not see our position."
