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

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
