Let Them Be Heard . . .
Not to be forgotten in the whirl of national politics
which will engulf the campus and the state durjng the next
two weeks, is the annual university spring election.
At this year's election, as in years past, student council
members will be chosen, an ivy day orator will be named
and student members of the publications board will be se
lected. In addition, Ag campus voters will determine mem
bers of several Ag College governing groups.
The Daily Nebraskan intends to devote considerable
attention to these elections, especially to the student council
portion of the ballot, in order to furnish students with more
information about the candidates. For the past several years
the election has come and gone with the paper uttering little
more than an urgent plea for students to vote.
This year The Daily Nebraskan will devote several
pages to interviews and thumbnail sketches of candidates
for the council positions. With campaigning held to a mini
mum by council election rules, we think it necessary that
all candidates be allowed some chance to express their
views on campus problems and present to the campus elec
torate any ideas and proposals they may have.
Pro and con discussion on the question of affiliation
with the National Student Association stirred up a number
of proposals which seemed to receive sizeable support. It
seems logical to suppose that some of these proposals will
come into student council deliberating next year. Hence The
Daily Nebraskan will present the platforms of the various
student council candidates to the student body.
Also to be considered are the junior student council
members. Eight of the present junior members will be
elected to holdover positions on the 1948-49 student gov
erning group by the present council members. These junior
members of the council too will have a chance to declare
their intentions along with the would-be council candidates.
Student council elections have been carried on without
adequate student interest for too many years. The Daily
Nebraskan hopes that its survey of the candidates will help ;
to produce a greater interest and increased participation in
student elections.

Dear Editor:
On March 23rd, the Engineering Executive Board submitted a
recommendation to the Student Council that a voting booth be placed
in the Mechanical Arts Building for the spring elections. On March
31st, the Student Council gave this recommendation unfavorable
action.
That recommendation was made originally in the form of a motion
to the Engineering Executive Board, with the idea in mind of making
the opportunity to vote easily available to more students. It seemed
desirous that not only engineering students, but all students who
spend most of their time in the west end of the campus should have a
voting booth more conveniently located than the one at the Student
Union. Yet our Student Council decided that this was showing fa
voritism. This is the Council which has been "Beating the Drums"
claiming they are interested in larger turn puts at elections, and that
they wish to represent the whole student body. It hey are truly in
terested in securing a large vote, why don't ihey place voting booths
at other locations than in the Student Union. Why not put voting
booths in at least one building of each and every college on the
campus? This would not be favoritism.
We believe that the Student Council should not ask the students
to come to them they should go to the students. Can one voting booth
take care of 9000 students? Evidentally the Council does not expect
everyone to vote. Everyone knows that most of the elections on this
campus are nothing but a farce and represent a very small percent
of the student body. Can a vote of 500 to 2000 claim to be repre
sentative of 9000 students? In a city election, is there only one voting
place for the whole city?

Dear Editor:
We heartily endorse the suggestion of the University of Ne
braska Young Democrats and the University of Nebraska Stassen
for President club that those possessing the franchise use it more
fully. We further advocate that the democratic right of participation
in governmental processes should not be denied to any citizen re
gardless of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ability to pay
a poll tax, or the threat of militant coercion.
As Wallace supporters, we oppose any unprevoked aggression
on the part of any national state, be it German, Russian, or American.
The Russian rape of Czechoslovakia, and the American support of a
fascist Chinese tyrant are equajly abominable, and should, we be
lieve, be dealt with by an international agency in the same manner.
We further support the right of peoples everywhere to choose
for themselves any type of government or economy they so desire, as
guaranteed in the Atlantic Charter.
Mr. Morrow and Mr. Ells ably pointed out in their letter of
yesterday that both the Republican and Democratic parties "present
a united front of foreign policy." The course of the bi-partisan foreign
policy has been only too clearly and tragically spelled out for all to
see. America supports a Greek fascism, supplying the arms and
munitions to secure a regime which with U. S. approval has im
posed the death penalty on strikers. In Germany America's policy
is one of restoring power and war potential. American wealth and
power is used to coerce' the governments of Western Europe. Fascists
are allowed to remain in office. Food relief is denied to governments
which fail to take orders. Both parties embrace fascist governments
like Argentina's. Both parties are planning to aid Franco Spain, and
France's DcGaulle climbs back towards power on American dollars.
The answers to these issues are not found by the malicious
smearing of individuals or groups as "reds and "communist sym
pathizers." The answer lies in Dernocratic rational thought and dis
sussion. We do. therefore, okalkace the Yuti Democrats, the Young
Republicans, or their coalition to a phUr debate on tneoe vital issnes.
