Sports Editor Norris Anderson Member Nebraska Press Mark Your 6X; Students will trek to the polls today to cast their ballot in the year's first student election. In past years the turnout for this election has been high, and it should continue to be the same this year. Voting is a privilege which too many assume but do not take the time or trouble to exercise. If the offices and honor ary positions on this campus were elected by one person or a small group of persons, the general student body would rise up in protest. When the student is given the opportunity, however, to voice his individual opinion by voting, he some times neglects to take advantage of the opportunity. In our college "state" the officials we elect and people ;we name to honorary positions are just as important as the officials who represent the state of Nebraska in the different governmental positions. It is just as essential that we name good officials here on the campus as in the state government, since the students we name today represent us, not only on the campus, but out in the state as well. Balloting will be conducted today for senior class presi dent, junior class president, six eligible bachelors to be pre sented at the Mortar Board party, and an amendment to the Student Council constitution which gives proportional repre sentation on the holdover members of the council according to the ratio of the preferential vote of the two political parties at the spring elecion. This amendment should be passed in today's election since it gives each party an opportunity to name at least a portion of the holdover members of the council. As it now stands, the party with the majority vote on the council has the oppor tunity to name all holdover members if it so desires since it has the controlling vote. The passage of this amendment will insure belter repre sentation o all students on the campus and will thus make better student government. If there is to be government at all on this campus, it should be representative government which does not exist now in election of the holdover members of the council. Every student is given an opportunity to east his ballot today. Every student should take advantage of that opportunity. Reserves Ritast EyilaioiiteQini . . One phase of the semester having been completed, students in the Enlisted Ueserve Corps must continue to maintain their academic work on a high plane so as not to jeapordize their their standing in the reserve. Spiking rumors that a certain number of hours must It fcept above a certain average, T. J. Thompson, dean of student affairs, asserted that "Everyone in llie reserve is expected to put his best efforts along the academic line. Each was selected on -potential ability exhibited previously and he must show in tcrest enough to justify his position iu the EKC." RayL. Wilbur Terms Youth Draft 'Poor' Trie teen age arait bill is a 'na tional disgrace," charged Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Staf ford university, speaking before a group of Stanford alumni last week. He said that the law would ruin the nation's colleges. There has already been a 10 per cent reduction in Stanford enroll ment Passage of the bill would probably mean no enrollment at all for the summer semester, he stated. "Where will we get our engineers, technicians and doctors for the winning of this most tech nical war?" Wilbur queried. Why haven't there been delegations to Washington to protest this taking of youth?" TMhaAkcuv Rpmpstpr or II. SO for the Colleee Tear, Enterest as second-class matter at the Act of Congress March 3, 1879, and at Union Building. 2 - 7193. Journal 2,3330. Robert W. Schlater Philip W. Kantor Association, 1941-43 iradles In All Subjects The dean emphasized the fact that there are no f-tauatory aca domic standards et up by the gov ernment, compliance with which Is mandatory to stay in school, HUT that the university at any time could weed out those in the corps not putting forth the necchsary effort. "We have to send in reports concerning progress of earn stu dent in the KHC at the end of the semester. Before the end of the Beniester it is up to university officials to deal with those who appear to be completely befuddled in their class work," Thompson said. "Of course, we will try to be liberal and give the students the benefit of every chance. Any one experiencing trouble now should see advisors and instruc tors and iron out the difficulties," he summarized. So if the student in the EEC is putting forth the proper effort and at. the of the semester can turn in a satisfactory academic record, he can rest assured that he will be given an opportunity to continue his education.

Mcnolier Finds Meat Rationing Not a Hardship Hitting a happy medium, the nationwide "share-the-meat" cam paign .should work a hardship on no one, it was discovered at a meeting of the state nutrition committee on ag campus at which Miss Ruth Menohcr, home eco nomist of the Consumers Public Power district, spoke Wednesday. The allowance of two and one-half pounds of meat per person per week is more than low income families have been getting and less than high income families.
