Editorially Speahiny
The most popular In all fairness
Another popularity vote pre
sents itself today with the an
nual fall election. Today we
choose the Planters-of-the-Ivy,
who labor under the mighty
sounding monickers of class
presidents; the girl who dons
the boots and britches and re
veals her presence at the Mili
tary Ball; and the beautiful
specimen of feminine pulchri
tude who will step from some
ingenious pattern to be
crowned Nebraska Sweetheart
at the annual Kosmet Klub fall
show.
Campus politicians, inebriat
ed with the conception that
elections are of as much import
as the university itself, are set
for victory on all fronts. From
Tumblings of faction splits and
dissensions, which have leaked
out in the past two weeks, we
go now in preparation to an
aftermath flavored with cries
of fraud, stuffed ballot boxes
and election of unworthy can
didates. The Student Council, this
year, promises a clean aud ac
curate election. Student Coun
cils since the days of their in
ception have always promised
such. There have always been
Council members more imbued
with ideas of faction or frater
nity interests than with good,
clean, honest student elections.
The DAILY will remain im
partial to all candidates, fac
tions, or interests of the future.
It will remain impartial in its
publication of party platforms
or candidate qualifications.
But today it looks toward the
faculty as the only means of
insuring fairness.
"Our education is tied to our tociety. It must take account of
the student's need for m job, and therewith a place in the community.
It must take account, too, of his hunger for meaning and for beauty,
or his desire, so to speak, to find o place for himself in the universe.

News comment
(Continued from Page 1.)
trality act aim to prevent involve
ment, but repeal of the arms em
bargo runs counter to that prin
ciple. The bill is predicated upon
the theory, denounced a year ago
by President Roosevelt as a "de
liberate lie" when attributed to
him, that America's first line of
defense is on the Rhine.
Major premise.
The major premise of the bill is:
That to protect America, we must
first protect England. The way to
protect America is to keep out of
war, not to go to war to protect
somebody else! That the currenti
struggle is an ideological war of
democracy against dictatorship is
a fantastic dream recently ex
ploded by none other than Prime
Minister Chamberlain. Russian
Premier Molotov had charged the
English with waging an ideological
war, and Chamberlain answered
with a clear statement that the
present war is by no means ideolo
gical, but aims simply to over
throw Hitler and Hitlerism.
Into this last great empire
struggle, America is going to send
an unlimited number of arms to
kill men, women and children, all
for the purpose of setting up again
a balance of power in K.urope. By
this recently enacted "Hclp-the-allies
bill'" America has, in the
words of Englishmen, become their
"unlimited arsenal," and out of
the blood of slaughtered Euro
peans, American business hoes to
reap the profits which made 21,000
millionaires in the World war.
They all write the president "
He finds pathos and humor in his mail
Politics--

No one will be allowed in the cor
ridor of the Union basement dur

proved voters and officials. Inas
much as only juniors and seniors
may vote for junior and senior
class presidents respectively, spe
cial class rolls will be checked as
identified voters secure their bal
lots. AU duly registered students in
the jniversity my vote for Hon
orary Colonel. Only men may vote
for Nebraska Sweetheart.
The University of Oregon has
an amplifier that will magnify a
sound 15 million times.
(Editor's note. The following Is re
printed from the editorial rohimns of the
Iially Texan where it appeared under the
beading, ''The President's Mall.")
The heartaches of the humble
find their way into the mail of the
president of the United States.
Every day, rain or shine, cold or
hot, from 2,000 to 7,000 letters are
received, the number approaching
the highest figures when the
weather is bad.
Because he is a different kind of
president, Mr. Roosevelt gets more
and a different kind of mail from
his people than any president in
the past ever has received.
This is not altogether traceable
to our recent centralization con
sciousness and trend in political
thought and economic and social
action, and not chiefly because
Mr. Roosevelt in his fireside chats
has cordially invited the people to
write him about their problems.
Mr. Roosevelt Is a leader whom
the great body of the people be
lieve they can rely on to do his
best for their welfare. Born to
riches and the manor, he always
has shown that his interest lies
with the man who toils, whether
by his hand or brain.
It must be a source of great
pride to the sincere socially con
scious soul of Mr. Roosevelt when
he reads these letters or hears
about them from his correspond
ence associates these appeals
from the meek and the humble
letters from troubled souls thruout
the land who cast their burdens
upon him.
Naivete. Grievances. Frustra
tions. Disappointments. With real
ism they bare their most troubled
thoughts, Many, In their simple
thought, think they are the only
correspondents, and expect direct
aid from the president.
Here are some of them:
1. My mule is out and gone five
weeks. I can't find him nowhere.
2. Wife and I think it would be
nice if we called the baby FERA,
the name of your relief outfit
3. Will you kindly send me all
available information on birth con
trol? 4. I've tried since last June to
get in the insane asylum, but they
don't seem to want me because
I am not insane. The joke is on
them.
5. Please give me a big job or
a shoe shop. God loves a cheerful
giver. God sure would love for you
to give me a big job. Are you
going to work me at the Washing
ton White House?
6. STou as president should make
a law that kidnappers can't col
lect ransom until the victim is de
livered safe.
7. I am writing this letter in
longhand so that your stenog-.
rapher may not know its contents.
It is strictly confidential. I don't t
even want you to tell Mrs. Roose-
velt about It.
8. Mr. Roosevelt, they said I was
living with a married woman. In
the first place, she was not mar
ried. In the nccond place, I was
not living with her.
Surely, to our president, who is
human, the main product of tluo
letters is laughter. Surely agmn,
to our president, who is also hu
manitarian, the main by-produit
are pathos and a misty eye.
