The DAILY NKKKASKAN Wednesday. November IS. igjg Student Pulse... 1 Suggestions to the Council Dear Council: Again this is mooting day. Again today in terested campus eyes turn toward your decisions and your ac tions. You have an important issue to attempt to solve. That issue is one dealing -with political rallies and arises from an incident a week ago which sent one student to the hospital and brought ridicule to the eavortings of university students here in general. "What will be your solution! The motion presented by the judiciary committee is: "When ever any faction shall prove that its members were attacked. . . . during the rally preceding an election by the members of an other, that the former shall have the grounds to protest the election, and that should the council (acting as committee of the whole) see fit to grant the validity of that protest, each of ficer elected by the offending faction shall be replaced by the man with the next highest number of votes." What does this mean? It means that the "whenever any faction shall prove that its members were attacked" clause would lead only to further fighting. It means that the "should the council see fit" clause places the responsibility upon those who depend on factions for their election. It means that any faction having insufficient power to elect could attack from every side wihout suffering retributions. Seriously, we ask that you look beyond your polit ical noses, and give intelligent treatment to this problem. If necessary, and you are the judges, abandon political rallies entirely. Give thought to the ideal situation which would be an intelligent rally of all factions under one roof where candidates would be introduced, their sentiments expressed, and their platforms in vestigated. It is necessary, however, that some legislation be effected for fear of what might happen at our next rally if it takes place. Your body needs reason for existence. It needs prestige Valid and intelligent, action which necessarily lacks political muckraking on this issue is your first step. Other issues also present themselves. "With a common understanding between us that the council has been inefficient, unconcerned, and lacka daisical during the past year and a half, the DAILY would suggest the following for your consideration: (1) Investigate the possibility of a central orchestra booking agency on the campus, (2) Take action in studying the needs for the opening of Decoration judges7 remarks weren't appreciated t I W - v. .

To the Editor: Now that Homecoming is over, I suppose we all should forget the past and look forward to the next injustice which is liable to pod ud anytime. But if the guys who judged the decorations have any conscience at all, I'll bet they re member some of those designs till their dying day. For the first thing. It has al ways been my idea that the pri mary principle of judging the dis plays was centered on the clever ness and the manner in which the diplay told of its story. But ac cording to the host of interior dec orators, window trimmers, art teachers and what have you, who judged the Greeks best efforts I guess that I had a slightly old fashioned ide. And such technical details as lighting effects, quality of the portrait work, etc were the big judging points. O. K. I'll bOW out on that nninf but by what rieht hav th "critics" to give the shady and un called for criticisms that were flung in the faces of the houses who were not on the "right side of the fence." For instance, take a look at Sundays "Rag." They at least could have given criticisms in a civil manner but th which were exercised in portraying masters decisions were about the calibre of a ten year old s sense of humor. Don't misunderstand me. I am not griping on account of the gen eral taste of the incident altho the reneral - -jvao vt L3 mat Uie criticism! t I am surprised at the various im plied suggestions the judges gave for instance "not adequately Lghted" (altho this house had three large spots)" (nothing out side of a Hollywood premier evi dently would have satisfied the judges.) Also-a few other dis paraging remarks were cast to and fro about the idea being O.K. but the art work is poor. (In this case the introduction of Mr. Tetty would evidently help the general situation like everything i. The 12th and II incident was about as un-funny as a crippled old man. I for one would like to see the homecoming display put back on the same standard as it once en joyed, and not judged by a group of individuals who are naturally specialists in their own lincs-viz-lighting, art work, general bal ance, practical jokes etc. and once more judged from the standpoint of the central idea, cleverness and idea implied. Sincerely, Verne Rawalt. To the Editor: The remarks contained in the November 12th issue of the Daily Nebraskan concerning the efforts of individual sorority and frater nity houses in the way of Home coming decorations must leave a distinctly bad taste in the mouths of anyone who took time to read them. I cannot believe that the judges, who received credit for the not-so-funny puns, actually made them, but if they did, I should ask they consider these facts. The displays were viewed by thousands of Lincoln residents, students, alumni, and out-of-town visitors, as testified to by the crowded sidewalks and jammed streets. Each display received its share of attention and each one received its share of commenda tion and approval. In walking about, I apparently missed the judges, for I heard no derisive re marks and bronx cheers but in stead voicings of approval and a great many compliments for those displays most panned. Another thing to be considered Is the full hearted enthusiasm and spirit of the Nebraska students in entering into the contest, not only for the houses themselves but also for the purpose of making the an nual display the enjoyable and looked-for event that it is. A great deal of time and effort was ex pended and a lot of labor went into the planning, completing and erecting of the decorations, some thing the judges apparently over looked. I am not finding fault with the decisions pencered. but I do pro test the printing of common tab loid remarks about a project of this type. If we are to take the remarks at face value, a great number of houses have, by their ludicrous and lackadaisical dis plays, disgraced the University of Nebraska. If such is the case, the judges should have appended to their remarks a recommendation that the event be discontinued un til su h a time as the students of Nebraska had developed sufficient talent and desire to do credit to 1 the school. j Kenneth Holm. ! the university library on Sunday. wnr3 ,ake.strid.es " attempting to better the men's and women s housing; situation. wS? ?PS 10 about 8tndent efficiency on all boards hich have student membersh:psSuch as Athletic 2K StUdeDt Uni0D Controrb!
