Tuesday, December 18, 1951 PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Little Man On Campus By Bibler . 1 V 6 " 1 1 .2 '1 Polifical Holiday .Tom Rische Gov. Val Peterson ha announced that he will defer announcement of his political intentions with regard to the two vacant senate seats until after the Christmas holidays. This should give Nebraskans a brief respite from the politicking which has run rampant ever since Congressman Karl Stefan died some weeks ago. Senator Wherry's death and Governor Peterson's an nouncement that he would seek the senate seat of Sen. Hugh Butler have made the political scene quite lively. One political columnist last week speculated that Senator Butler might run for renomination and, if he was successful, withdraw, and let the republican politicos name the senatorial candi date. In this way, Gov. Peterson, who has dis pleased some of the regular party moguls, might be eliminated from the senate race. If such a plan exists, it would, of course, be upset by a Peterson victory. Such a proposition would be an insult to the voters of Nebraska, if anyone is seriously con sidering it The voters have a right to select the man who will represent them in the senate. It is hard to believe that the republican party would try any such thin. Peterson is still debating whether to change his filing and run against former Gov. Dwight Griswold for. the short term or to leave his filing as It is, and run against Senator Butler for the short term. Whether Peterson could beat Butler is a question. He might have ap. easier time against Griswold, but this is by no means certain. Butler has a considerable organization be hind him, and he has kept his fences well mended. I remember that at the tine I was selected to go to Boys State, I received a letter of congratulations from Senator Butler. Taking notice of minor honors received by constituents always makes a big hit with the home folks. The fact that Butler is from Omaha is also a big point in his favor, as well as is the length of time he has served in the senate. Peterson might appeal to the more progressive elements within the republican party. Being a comparatively young man also aids Peterson. Butler has been somewhat ailing of late. Peterson offended some of the party chieftains ( by his selection of Fr id Seaton to fill out the next year of Wherry's term. Griswold is a veteran par"ty member and is generally regarded as one of the more progressive republican leaders. His internationalist views do not seem to be as strong as they once were, how ever. He has a wide following and would un doubtedly make a good senator. Several political observers with whom I have talked seem to think that Butler could beat 'Peterson in the primary. But these same people seem to think that the senatorial battle will be between Griswold and Peterson. The Christmas holidays may tell the tale. Time For More' Britain has announced she will pay off $138,- 000,000 on her 1945 American loan by Dec. 81 It is rather interesting to note that Churchill is planning a visit to the United States the next month. We only hope the payment will arrive in time so that Churchill can borrow it back. State Of Greatness Stop, Look And Wait How many students feel that they are taking their lives in their hands every time they cross the street at the intersection of 16th and R? Quite a few, I believe. They must make the decision to "live dangerously" or wait endlessly for traffic to go by. This situation exists at eight o'clock, noon and five o'clock. ' Both pedestrians and motorists are affected. Cars line up behind the stop sign on R street waiting for the 16th street traffic to cross the Intersection. At eight in the morning cars are often lined up from 16th street east to the traffic light on 17th. Persons on foot must dart in and out to avoid on-coming autos or spend wasted minutes waiting on the curb. This situation affects many students both those living in Lincoln and those living on cam pus. Instead of griping every morning, noon and night, they can do something to end this problem. They can present their views to the Lincoln city council In the form of a petition. They can de- Sally Adams mand action by fixing their names to the follow ing request: "We the undersigned hereby request that an automatic traffic control signal light be installed at the intersection of 16th and R streets. "At the rush hours it is very difficult for pedestrian or vehicular traffic to cross at this intersection from east to west" This petition will bepresented to the mayor and the city council of Lincoln. It will then be referred to Ray Osborn, city director of publio welfare and safety. The next step, will be for the traffic division to set up traffic counters to determine the necessity for the installation of a traffic light. So, something can and will be done if we the students ask for action. Copies of the petition will be sent to the organized houses on R street. Other students may sign copies of the petition at The Daily Nebraskan office. The more people who favor the action, the more weight the petition will carry when presented to the city council. Pre-Med Student Breaks Out Of Jail, Takes Physics Exam, Returns To Jail To The Editor: I read with more amazement than usual the editorial appearing in the Monday, Dec. 17, issue of your newspaper. Here are a few comments; I could not resist the temptation. First of all, by what standard do you select your great men and women? You do not say and I am a little afraid to inquire. I noted that you apparently equate Miss Cather's contribu tions to society with those of some noted money makers in the sport's field. Were you short o( space, or did you deliberately put these individuals in the same paragraph? We ought not to dwell on the question whether' or not Jennings Bryan and other listed actors and dramatists from Nebraska could be con sidered great by any standard. Secondly, did it occur to the writer, that success cannot always be measured in terms of news paper headlines? Many young oeople who are born here take pains to leave the state as soon as they have money to buy a rail road ticket. They seek their so called success elsewhere, not al ways in Hollywood. You say that the spark of greatness has eluded Nebraska. Does Nebraska offer anything to anyone who possesses spark of genuine greatness? I am only asking the question, not attempting to answer it. But it seems to me that the point is basic if you people wish to spend space discussing such matters. Thirdly, what kind of non sense is this, trying to illustrate your thesis in terms of Ne braska's frightful climate and the racial extraction of its citizens. Why don't you go a step further and say that Ne braska is falling behind its neighbors because it grows fewer elm trees and pumpkins than in 1900. Is English blood the answer? There are fewer persons of continental European blood in eastern Tennessee and Mississippi than in any other section of the country. Are these areas particularly progres sive? I imagine that Mississippi would be even less hospitable to an Italian, German or Swed ish genius than Nebraska would be. Fourth and last, you lament the fact that Nebraska is not attract ing industry. What this has to do with the topic of the editorial I do not know, but you conclude with such a statement. If the presence of. bomb factories, ren dering plants and ten more insur ance companies is an indication of success and an excuse for the display of state patriotism, then some of us here will investigate the possibility of buying a coral reef in the Bahamas. ' As a matter of fact, I know three people who plan to leave with me. With wondering regards, HAL GILDERSLEEVE.

Free of the prison walls, St John rushed to the campus ' and took the test. After the exam, he returned to the police headquarters and gave himself up. He was arrested on drunk charges. A premedlcal student, he said be couldn't afford to miss the test since his grade depended ma it, but "kept worrying that the police would be popping Into the classroom any minute."

State mental hospital, Van Dorn and Folsom streets, Lin coln; and Cedars Home for Children, 6401 Pioneers street Lincoln, are two places that would appreciate greetings for their residents. If all the 6,500 students attend ing the University would take the time, cards and three cent stamps to send each institution one Christmas card, the effort would be rewarded by overwhelmed di rectors and pleasantly surprised residents. Students could share their Christmas enthusiasm and gain knowledge that they have helped make fellowmen happier. Cards need not be addressed to particular persons. Names may be written on the envelope when the institution receives it Students should sign their name and maybe add a per sonal greeting to increase the friendliness of the card. Tabitha Home's director re ported that the children and old people received numerous Christ mas cards. However, many of them are forgotten on birthdays. The director said that birthday cards would be highly appreciated at the home. Names and birthdays of residents may be obtained from the director.
