THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Monday, October 20, 1952 Poae n 4 M - W Si f . -J 1 'i 1 i S' i - 1 H V 1 EDITORIAL PAGE It's About Time For the first time that this editor can remem her, the All-University Party, commonly called the taction, is making an attempt to bring us political activities out into the open. This Tarty, composed I representatives of University fraterni ties, has decided to give $50 from its treasury to the Junior-Senior class board officers and coun cil members. The letter accompanying; this donation, to be formally presented to the class board Tuesday, ,, suggests that the money be used to purchase -scholarship cups which the class officers de oided Vould be presented each year on Ivy Day to the senior man and woman with the highest -weighted average. ,The All-University Party had Its birth In the banding together of Greek students against Inde pendent students. For such, it drew the wrath of administrative officials and consequently took its activities into closed session. ....And now. It would seem that the faction nas decided to brave the University world past, they have attempted to control student elee faction, The Nebraska has continually Quar relled, An organization act up purely to keep the opposition out of officeand not to have any strong, worthwhile objective of Its own seems Inherently wrong ta us. However, with this move to bring their politi cal party into the student-public eye, by donating part of their oft-questioned Treasury to the ad vancement of the class boards, The faction appears to be changing part of the basic philosophy of their organization. It is to be taken for granted that the fac tion's motives In this latest project will be tjues tioned. It goes without saying that the admin istration still would not condone a Greek vs. In dependent organisation. And, we assume, that this action might possibly be taken as a whim not an indication of honest endeavor. The Daily Nebraskan is in unanimous agree ment with this latest faction venture. We think In the they ought to be out in the open. We hope their motives are sincere and that activities 01 mis ,r,c wv fHftBin slates of fraternity men and, sort will be carried further. 4 tvl w.r,m Vm their men in control of stu- There may be no deep-rooted change In fac- Aon cnvM-nmnnt. policy- With various methods and motives of the Letterip fff Re- I dents and faculty members should wit ease . , make a more definite indication Dear Editor: Uf their stand on the romint elee- I have read some stupid, insipid tion. -with this we still tjnarrcL ever, we agree with this move.

About all I could see was a bag of sour grapes on this author not writing the tribute to Reynolds. As I read the tribute, it seemed to me that it was a fine piece on the fellow's character at the wind-up of a career in football eligibility. There was nothing there about him dying of or such as your editorial implied. To show the writer's ignorance, he said Reynolds was not known when he first came to Nebraska. He was probably the most famous athlete in Nebraska high school history and drew bids from S9 colleges, as I remember. If two shoulder separations wouldn't hinder a guy's baseball career, I hardly know what could be worse, being a baseball player of sorts myself. Also, how inconsistent can you get? On the sports page you give the piece tribute as being "one of the great sports writings" (which it was). Then you pan it on the editorial. Why not eat those sour grapes? We dont want them. WAYNE WINTER tion. From the point of view of Ste venson's high-level, intellectual campaign, it would seem that he would have a good deal of appeal for the college student. It seems to me that Stevenson's appeal is considerable, as shown by the re sult of the YM-YW poll. A little better than one-third of the stu dents polled indicated that they favored Stevenson. Assuming that this is a measure of the political atmosphere of the campus as a whole, about 2,500 students (one third of 6,900) prefer Stevenson. This fact is rather remarkable when one considers that Nebraska is predominantly Republican, Through a concentrated effort on the part of these people, an expression of their views would be forceful. It seems to me that such an expression could have no little influence in major political circles. Inasmuch as their political activities and experiences in col lege will determine, to some ex tent, their political aetiities in the future, it is necessary that this complacency be replaced with a real interest in politics. It has been announced that a Students for Stevenson movement is being offered to them for such a pur pose. Why not get on the band wagon?" RAY RICE Political Apathy . .

It is very fcratitrine that the appalling conditions existing in our University dormitories have been brought to public attention by your excellent editorial.

The blan kets serve to keep me warm at night. Dust collects everywhere.

"In going back into Korea they evoked the patriotic and sacrificial support of the Ameri can people. But by their hampering orders, they produced stalemates and ignominious bartering with our enemies, and they offer no hope of vic tory."

Politicians may advise both men to hide the Korean question under the rug, but we can be sure that neither man can keep it out of his heart. Too many of us do keep Korea out of our minds and hearts unless we happen to be mem bers of a family with a boy in the service, or about to be called. , Up to now, Korea is the forgotten issue of the campaign. It is up to the Republican party to make it so, because the Democrats would like to have us forget it.

BURNETT Assistant Trofessor of Accounting (Editor's Note: The Nebraskan has asked several members of the faculty to contribute .to our editorial pages. The opinions in these editorials do not necessarily represent those of The Nebraskan.) . Students and faculty may feel a bit flattered by the recent visit of US Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer to the University campus. Speak ing at the Union to Economic, a College of Busi ness Administration organization, the Secretary des cribed the work of his department voiced the re action of businessmen he is contacting on his cur rent trip, and discussed briefly the plans of his .department to aid business when defense ex penditures taper off. In Nebraska to discuss business problems, with Lincoln and Omaha businessmen, Secre tary Sawyer took this time to visit the campus and feel the pulse of local professors and stu ents of business administration and economics. Information gathered from talks with business men and women In bis jaunt across the nation . will be used in a study which will be published by the Department of Commerce about January 1, 1953. A lawyer by profession, American Ambassador to Belgium and Minister to Luxembourg from 1944 to 1946, and a former owner of 16 newspapers in bis native state of Ohio, the Secretary proved to he a very interesting and entertaining speaker. He expressed the opinion that the best way for the jovernment to aid business was to leave it alone. He Indicated strong disapproval of the Federal excess-profits tax and contended that the tax car ried with it a vote-getting appeal because it en abled "certain office-seekers" to capitalize on the promise to "soak-the-rich." On the other hand, he said, It was an unfair tax on businessmen which was inflationary and robbed them of the incentive to make big profits. Business sentiment, he felt, strongly favored a reduction of govern mental expenditures rather than an increase in Daily Thought . A w?se man thinks all he says, a fool says til he thinks.

At the end of the debate, McKinley snmmed vp his pres entation by sayine, in effect, that all this talk about farm policy is so much poppycock for "what the farmers are par ticularly interested in is Korea."
