Post Mortem
Asked for a pre-election comment, Bill Dafoe,
barb leader and instigator of the amendment to
the Student Council constitution that was voted
down by students in Tuesday's election, 'exploded
verbally," according to the Nebraskan reporter.
Here are his statements: "Rules for student elec
tions, as interpreted by the Greek-dominated ju
diciary committee of the Greek-dominated Student
Council, after the barb victory last fall, make any
campaign outside the organized Greek houses ab
solutely ineffective if not impossible. For this rea
son, the independent organization is not backing
any candidates. Until the rules are changed to per
mit fair and equal publicity for all candidates, both
Greek and Barb, there will be no just student gov
ernment at Nebraska."
Disregarding the statement that the Student
Council and its judiciary committee are Greek
dominated, because that is a lively question with
arguments on each side, the remainder of the state
ment should be straightened out The rules for
student elections were not interpreted by the coun
cil's judiciary committee last year. They were in
terpreted by a disinterested faculty committee. For
verification of this fact,' we r,efer those who think
otherwise to any member of the council elections
committee.
The rule governing campaigns as set down in
the rules for student elections is a follows: "No
vote shall be solicited at the polls or in the build
ing in which election is being held during election
day. No money shall be spent in behalf of any can
didate. No printed, mimeographed, typed, or other
wise published material in behalf of any candidate
6hall be permitted except the impartial announce
ments of the candidates appearing in the press."
(See Article IV).
This rule had been on the books for some time,
but was enforced more rigidly beginning about
three years ago because the council was attempt
ing to clean up elections and prevent the two strong
political parties both Greek from cutting each
other's throats with the use of printed matter. The
rule was, not enforced to keep the barbs from carry
ing on an effective campaign, because at that time
the barb party was not strong. As now interpreted
the rule does not prohibit any party from contact
ing the voters by the spoken word except on the
day of election in the building where the election
is held. By prohibiting the spending of money on
publicizing candidates, the rule protects all parties.
All parties may contact the voters by seeing them
personally or by telephone.
Therefore, we cannot admit that the barbs
and Greeks do not have equal opportunity for pub
licity for candidates. To return to the old system,
when the rule was not enforced, would be a back
ward step in student government. In abolishing the
rule, the council would open up a host of opportun
ities for parties to spend money, and sling mud at
each other through printed matter.
Behind the News
By David Thompson
Labor Trouble
The great strides that labor has made in the
last decade toward collective bargaining, higher
wages, and fair treatment are about to be sacri
ficed by a few top labor leaders who are more con
cerned with their own power than the welfare of
the millions of workers that they represent. For
if the coal dispute over the "closed shop" results in
the strike that is threatened, it will be the last
straw as far as most of the American people are
concerned. It is not that the American people dis
approve so much of the aims of organized labor, it
is that they are not going to have them achieved
at a heavy cost to our defense program.
As a result if strikes continue to arise in such
numbers as they have in the past few months, the
American public will take measures to curb them,
and the more numerous the strikes, and the more
defiant the labor Jeaders, the more severe will be
the curbing measures until labor will have lost the
most important factor in its progress, the approval
of the American public and government. When that
is gone, along with it will go all the gains that la
bor has made in the past decade.
Evidence of the direction of public opinion is
indicated by the attitude of our legislators in Wash
ington. Congress as a whole is rapidly turning in
favor of Congressional legislation to curb strikes
in defense industries. The Congress is tired of hear
ing labor pledge full cooperation in the defense
program only to turn around and impede it at every
step by strikes. Granted that some of the strikes
are justified in one way or another, yet it is not
impossible to settle those grievances through gov
ernmental machinery set up for the purpose with
out recurrence to strikes.
What
Courageous Rally
(Iowa Daily Student.)
It takes courage to organize a pep rally when
a football team loses like the Cyclones did before
last week's Homecoming crowd. But that's what
the pep leaders plan to do tonight.
These leaders are not giving up even though
the team was accused of not fighting against an
undoubtedly better Missouri team. They feel that
first bad break might have caused the Cyclones to
lose' their fight, and the best thing to do is let the
team know that the student body is behind it.
Against Denver University the football team
looked like a real ball club. The players had snap
and punch; they tackled hard and outfought the
favored Pioneers. When Nebraska came along the
Cardinal and Gold boys made a creditable showing
In holding the Cornhuskers to 14 points. But last
Saturday the Cyclones had lost that punch.
We must realize that any team can have its
off day. One bad game certainly should not be the
barometer by which a team's ability and spirit is
judged.
Let us not get hysterical over one bad show
ing. Better, let us give our wholehearted support
until we see Iowa State's gridders won't fight when
the cards are against them. When that time comes,
there will be room for criticism. We don't mind a
losing team, but win or lose we want a fighting
team. We have confidence Ray Donels can produce
that fight; he produced some of the scrappiest
teams in the state while coaching at Ames high
school.
When the sledding is tough, that's when a team
needs student support. Tonight we have a chance
to show the Cyclones we are behind them one hun
dred percent. J. K.
