The Friday Election
The atmosphere and surroundings of an adult- dents voting will reflect their feelings of political
thinking community will descend upon the cam- duty. It is interesting to note that on the Repub-
pus Fiiday at 8 a.m. as the polls open in the City lican ticket, Dwight D. Elsenhower won the stu-

Reporters Banned
The Pally Nebraskan was informed this week
that, in keeping with past action, no reporter of
this paper would be allowed to sit in on and re
port the activities of the meeting of the Inter
Fraternity Council. Council officers told The
Nebraskan that reporters had not, in past years,
covered their meetings, and that some Council
member could bring whatever might be of public
interest to The Nebraskan offices following each
meeting.
The Nebraskan is sorry that the IFC has seen
fit to close its meetings to our reporters. The IFC
and this paper have had disagreements concerning
what to print and what not to print this year
which might have something to do with this latest
decision.
We apologize to our readers for not being
mble to report IFC meetings from their source
s we do Student Council meetings, and vari
ous other sessions. To the IFC, The Nebraskan
would like to say that we mean not to pry
but to report the news as it happens. We must
comply to the dictate of IFC and offer our read
ers what we receive through the courtesy of
some Council representative. R. R.
voters look into the past. John Quincy Adams
and Thomas Jefferson were elected President by
one vote in the electoral college. By one vote
there came into the nation the states of California,
Idaho, Oregon, Texas and Washington. That's a
big chunk of territory . . . and today all the mil
lions living in thoRe states are Americans by jiust
one vote. If one feels that the one vote situation
applies only to the past, don't forget that the Draft
Act of World War II passed the House by just one
vote . . . and you can carry this one vote historj
on and on.
The Daily Nebraskan hopes that students do
not feel that Friday's election will have less effect
on their lives than an election pertaining to the
campus. However, the election will have a great
significance for it will reflect the college student's
choice in regard to their voting elders.
In the 1948 election only 51 per cent of the
country's voters went to the polls. With an en
rollment of 6900, it seems highly possible that the
University might far exceed the national percent
age of 48.
The voting results of the mock election will not
prove an end in itself ... it will be in the per
centage of the University's 6900 students who vote
which will show the awareness students have of
national issues and their interest in the people who
have executive positions in our government.
The Daily Nebraskan makes its plea to urge
all students to take a few minutes from their coffee-time,
activities and studies to show that they
will not join the ranks of the apathetical voters.
S. G.
An interesting possibility was brought out by
a national wire story Tuesday morning: If all the
eligible voters voted, there wouldn't be room for
them.
Experience, of course, has taught the election
administrators not to expect much more than
half of the possible voters to bother to come to
the polls. So our nation-wide election set up is
geared with this in mind. In Lincoln, polling
places provide one booth for every 75 registered
voters. That should be enough to give everyone
a chance even if everyone who Is registered
votes. Of course, modern life is so regulated
that ever ne gets time off about the same hours
and there is congestion around the booths. How
ever, Lincoln officials have promised that no
one waiting to cast his vote when the polls close
will be denied that chance.
Lincoln seems to be in fairly good shape but
many observers are worried about the rest of the
nation. There is no indication that the whole
number of eligible voters will vote but there is a
good indication that more will mark ballots than
ever have before. This possibility of a record vote
has brought up this problem of what could be
done to handle the crowds.
The obvious answer to these worries is a
change in the election rules which would create
more precincts, wards, etc., to take care of larger
crowds. And The Daily Nebraskan is sure that
this is the answer which will be forthcoming.
If only this trend toward record voting could
be continued or expected to continue, there
would be real justification for changing election
laws. But this year votes will be cast in an
extremely vital hour and millions of Americans
are interested. Maybe interest in voting will
subside in years when the outcome isn't so im
portant The Daily Nebraskan doubts if it will.
We cannot envision an election that wouldn't
be vital that is, if our governmental system
was working the way it ought to. We cannot
see how interest could subside with all the new
devices parties have to attract the attention of

Morse Revolts . . .
Dear Editor,
Much of the debris littered
about the minds of independent
voters by the constant bombard
ment of both political parties in
the current campaign must have
been partially cleared last week
by the stand taken by a champion
or independent thought and Jdeals,
Sen. Wayne Morse, Republican
irom Oregon.
Refusing to be tied by a contra
dictory party "line" to which he
could not honestly adhere, Senator
Morse withdrew all support of the
Eisenhower-masked forces of re
action, whose strangle-hold on the
ttepubJican Party must surely
iorce its death, and announced
his active support of the liberal
ana progressive governor of Illi
nois, Adlai Stevenson. That such
a move endangered the position
and career of Sen. Morse would
be an extreme understatement. A
more precarious step is unimagin
able. Thus, it is readily apparent
that this action was neither
blindly nor rashly taken.
Rather, it is for us, the public,
to assume that the course over
which ' Morse has chosen to sail
was embarked upon only after
serious consideration of the dead
ly consequences which might pos
sibly endanger his personal wel
fare, and, that the Oregonian,
guided by the principles of his
ideals and motivated by the
soundness of his judgment, has
risen above the selfishness of per
sonal interests and the channelled
reasoning of partisan politics.
The factors which prompted
such a decision must indeed have
been serious, for it is obvious that
such a grave step must have been
preceded by a gruelling struggle
of mixed emotions and conflicting
loyalties. The story is indeed interesting.
Morse, a strong internationalist
in the Vandenburg tradition, and
an announced opponent of the
"Kangaroo Courts" of McCarthy-
ism fs probably more liberal than
the majority of his Republican
colleagues. In line with such
views, he was the first Republi

Margin Notes
Busy Day, Friday
If University students haven't been politic
ally conscious to date, they surely will have no
reason for not being totally aware of elections
and voting after living through this Friday on
the campus. At various times throughout the
entire day, elections will be carried on for:
Pep Queen, AUFs Ugliest Man on Campus,
Honorary Commandant finalists and the YW
YM mock presidential voting. The typical
"Have you voted?" question will really have to
be qualified Friday.
Campus Paradox?
It seems slightly paradoxical that the office of
Registration and Records has to announce quite
frequently that students expecting to graduate go
through Senior Checking by Nov. 1. Most stu
dents art anxious, at the end of four years, to
graduate. Perhaps the slow realization that col
lege life is mighty good after all makes seniors
reticent to make the trip to the administration

in the Union ballroom. Classes will be dis
missed for Auden's discussion of his own writ
ing and that of other contemporary authors.
The Nebraskan sincerely hopes that the ball
room will be crowded with students eager to
hear this man.
