Les Said The Better By Les Glotfetty V I L i Another shot at a presentation not the pep queen, but a coed that could run said queen some stiff competition namely, JOYCE CROSBLE Crosbie with an "ie" as it was specified to us in no uncertain words. Joyce, one of the managing editors of the 1VJ40 uornnusKer, reany works at this yearbook busi ness in fact we found her in the Cornhusker office yesterday down on her hands and knees, doing things the hard way. Seems that about eleven-seventy cards out of the yearbook I file got dropped on the floor y and there was Joycie put- shiiu.iv crosbie. ting them back together almost as hopeless job as repairing the famous Humpty-Dumpty. Besides being one of the stalwarts of the Cornhusker, Joyce is a member of War Council and the all-campus vespers commit tee, AND, as she put it "one of the 250 Coed Counselors." Her major is sosh and she is a Lincoln girl, which may account for the fact that she seems to know all the men in uni form who come back to town. Delta Gamma claims her and so does the dying junior class. Technically speaking she's a blond, but not really blond if you know what we mean blue eyes, average height, and with a pug nose which gives her, if pun is forgiven, a slightly pugnacious look. A good-iooking, hard-working, just plain good gal. Mail is piling up in the Nebraskan office at an alarming rate for one DAVE D. WADE. We don't know who Mr. Wade is and neither does anyone else on the staff, but if he will reveal himself to our wondering eyes, he may collect approximately four or five letters from Crawford, Nebraska, from one N. Monroe, addressed only to him in care of the Nebraskan office. And as a special favor to Fanchon Jones, we're pleading for the return of half of a white, cable-stitched sweater. Fanchon was knitting the sweater for a man, when she turned it over to one of her mends tor sale keeping temporarily. Said friend left the sweater, knitting needles and attached can of yard somewhere on the campus, maybe in Sosh, she thinks. So, since cold weather is a-coming, if anyone is running around in less than half of a white sweater, we sug gest they deliver it to Miss Jones. ber of the Burma Road Engineers, attached to the Services of Supply in China. Sergeant Versa w is foreman of a section of Chinese laborers as well as an operator of the com Dlex road-building machines. He was grad uated from UN in 1942, and was inducted into the army in November of that year. The Nebraskan's Stand on Politics The appearance of two opposing political parties on the campus both of which are recognized as legal by the Student Council has caused some question among student leaders as to the Nebraskan's political stand. It has been previously, and will continue to be in the future, the policy of the Nebraskan to be non-partisan in regard to the newspaper columns. Both parties will be given as fair, equal, and accurate news coverage as is humanly possible with no discrimination shown either party. The Nebraskan believes, insomuch as there is only one newspaper on the entire campus, that it should not take sides on campus political issues, but strive to present both sides of any controversy between parties so that the stu dents will know the facts and make up their own minds. The editorials and signed columns of the paper will also be non-partisan and present over-all views of both parties. The only exception to this rule being if, some action of either party comes to our attention that is in our opin ion underhanded and needful of clarification or reform. that situation will be given full airing in the editorial col umns. That the Nebraskan will be non-partisan does not necessarily mean that staff members and reporters will not belong to or be active in any political party. Staff mem bers still have their private lives and this is still a land of freedom of thought and action. Except such private opin ions will not be reflected in the Nebraskan. Which Party? Students have until next Thursday at 12 noon to decide which of the two recognized parties on campus they will join. Thursday, Nov. 16, all afternoon the Student Council will sponsor registration for membership in either the Student Party for Democratic Gov ernment or the Progressive Party. After the parties have their membership lists, they will be able to proceed to elect party of ficers for this year and carry on party business. Every student is urged to decide his party membership for himself by weighing carefully and comparing for good and bad points both party platforms, organization, method of nominating party officers, and candidates, and method of voting. Both parties platforms and organizational plans show wide differences in make up, altho both parties are pledged to support democracy in voting and in representation and fairness in general elections, and are opposed to so-called "dirty" politics. Every person is asked to consider his political stand as an in dividual and not decide for or against one party merely because his best friend or his organized house has decided to go that way. It is strongly recommended by both parties that houses do not vote to join any one party in a bloc. Despite the fact that whatever political parties there are on campus must be strong enough to nominate their best-qualified people to office either in the party or in any campus elective post, students are not required to belong to a political party. Some may wish to vote as an independent in general campus elections, and have no voice in party matters. Nor is any party required by either party to vote a straight party ticket in the general elections. He may, after considering the relative merits of each party nomi nee, wish to cast his vote not for his party's candidate, but for the other party's man. According to the Student Council by-laws on this subject, "A party member's main duty to his party is in help ing to select the most worthy member f his party for ffice. Bis duty in the final election is to the school, in helping to put the most worthy of the candidates into office." Both party plans and platforms are out for each student's in spection, and it is hoped by the parties that each student will make up his own mind.
