The Logical Choice . . .
The evils of the fraternity
over the efficiency and effectiveness of the university stu
dent government today.
Student council members
will direct council activities during the 1948-49 school year
Eight holdover members are eligible for the presidency of
the group, but it is a cinch bet that the new leader will be
one of the four male holdover members.
Faction men have gotten together and prepared their slate
of candidates without regard for capability, earnestness and
past performances of the presidential possibilities. Dale Ball,
the outstanding candidate on the basis of work on the coun
cil during the current year, is slated to be overlooked by
student council voters who have their balloting instructions
from faction headquarters.
No one who has observed the student council in action
during the past year can help but realize that Ball is the
logical contender for the president's position. His work in
organizing and directing the campus improvements commit
tee, a division of council activity which was his own idea,
plus his leadership in preparing and submitting a public
opinion poll on campus improvements to the student body
stand high on the list of council achievements during the
year.
Ball formulated the spring festival report, another in
novation on the council agenda. The co-operation he re
ceived from the administration in these enterprises indicates
that he has the confidence of men high in the university.
His energy and ambition put him in the Number One spot
as far as merit is concerned.
It will be a sad commentary on the state of campus
elections if Ball is sidetracked by faction opposition. Faction
council members both old and new will be arrayed in a solid
bloc against a man who will not heed the every beck and
call of faction leaders.
For new council members the election will be a chance
to pay off the first installment on the favor received when
they coasted to office in last week's all-university election.
There is nothing novel in such action and we would not
worry about the procedure except that today's council elec
tion promises to be a decided distortion of intelligent vot
ing if Ball is flattened by the faction steamroller.
The faction candidate, Bill Schenck, has been a silent
figure in the council chamber. We fail to see that he has
contributed anything more than his bit for the faction dur
ing his term on the council.
Reports indicate that the scnencK Doom is Deing
drummed up by a faction within the faction, that a ma
jority of fraternity men are being led around by a close-knit
minority. But whatever the motive, we cannot agree with
the object.
Dale Ball is the man for the student council presidency.
The AUF advisory board will
meet Thursday at 5 p.m. in the
Union.

LEWIS. UMW FINED
Judge T. Alan Goldsborough
assessed John L. Lewis $20,000
and the United Mine Workers
$1,400,000 after their conviction
on contempt of court charges.
Upon hearing of the fines an
additional 100,000 miners walked
out bringing the total of strikers
to 200,000, half the total employed
in the bituminus industry.
Lewis sat quietly as his sen
tence was passed while his attor
ney Welly K. Hopkins lashed out
accusing the court and govern
ment of "political" motives. The
possibility of a jail sentence for
the UMW head was still strong
and for that reason it was pre
dicted that the miners would
return to work.
Hopkins filed notice of intention
to appeal the contempt conviction.
Lewis passed his chance to make
a statement in court. The court
was adjourned until Wednesday
morning at which time a hearing
is scheduled on the government's
petition for a preliminary injunc
tion against a coal strike.
ITALIAN REDS LOSE
Premier Alcide De Gasperi, ju
bilant after receiving a better
than 2 to 1 vote of confidence for
the Christian Democrat party in
the first half of the returns over
the communists, flatly stated
Tuesday that the communists will
not be included in the new Italian
government to be formed about
May 20.
His words were echoed by the
huge vote being rolled up by his
party with voting nearly half
completed. The communists were
running a weak second polling
short of 30 percent of the votes
cast.
The trend in the large cities
was anti-communist. Milan's re
porting sections gave the Christian
Democrats a 3-2 advantage.
The senate vote which is now
three-fourths counted shows G8
percent in favor of the anti-communists.
HOUSING BILL PASSAGE
Senator Taft forecast the pass
age of the Taft-Ellender-YVagner
long range housing bill by early
Wednesday. The prediction was
made after it was reported that
the differences between Taft and
Senator McCarthy (r. Wis.) had
been settled.
The bill co-sponsored by the
Ohio senator provides for the en
couragement of the construction
of $15,000,000 new homes by 1958.
It would extend through next
March government insurance on
home loans and it would permit
wider coverage by the insurance.
I S TROOPS TO PALESTINE?
The U.S. told the United Na
tions Tuesday that it would send
troops to impose trusteeship gov
ernment on Palestine provided
other selected countries of the
U.N. also contribute forces.
It was reported by reliable
sources that the American offi
cials plan to exclude Russia from
any such arrangement.
The Veter-Anns will have
their dinner Wednesday evening
at 6:30 p.m. in the Union.

OIL HAS ALLEGORICAL BACKGROUND "Saint Christopher
and the Lost Ones," an oil by illustrator Eugene Berman recently
purchased by the F. M. Hall Collection from the Nebraska Art
Association's exhibit, has an interesting allegorical background.
The statue on the face of the stylized church is that of Saint Chris
topher, in ancient story a man of exceptional strength who bore
people across precipices and rivers. One night he lifted a child
to his shoulders who proved strangely to be the heaviest weight
he'd ever hoisted. " Reaching his destination, he discovered the
child to be the Christchild who bore the weight of the world.
Thereafter, he called himself Christopher, or Bearer of Christ. In
the foreground, is seen the figure of a war-weary woman bearing
a child amidst devastation. The picture, painted in San Cristobal,
Mexico, where the church represented is located, is on display in
Gallery B of Morrill Hall along with the other seven purchases
recently approved for the collection by the Board of Regents, and
with a grouping of purchases from the last three years.
DJJ Singers
In Radio Debut
Next Saturday
Thirty singers of Delta Upsiloii
will make their radio debut over
KFOR next Saturday, April 24th,
at 1:45 p. m. The choral group, di
rected by Bob "Squirrel" Adams,
will present a varied selection of
numbers including fraternity, no
velty, and concei t songs.
It will be the first time any
Greek men's song group from this
campus has ever had a complete
radio show. "The DU's hope that
the program will encourage other
organizations to present similar
j types of broadcasts of their own in
the future, Adams stated.
The singing group began last
winter when several DU's decided
to get together among themselves
for regular informal song fests.
Their numbers increased as other
members of the chapter became
interested. Finally, Bob Adams
took over as director and will con
duct the group on Ivy Day,
April 29th.
The numbers lo be pres.-nted
include: Hail, Delta Upsilon,
