THE DAILY NEBRASKAN

By DON PIEPER
Editor
Put your ear to the political turf and hear the
rumblings of the first red-hot student election
campaign this campus has witnessed in a good
many years.
The air is filled with all kinds of campaign
promises some of which deserve student atten
tion. On the front page of today's paper, candi
dates for class offices present their platforms.
Whatever you do, read this section. Look for
ideas which you believe should be put into op
eration. Look for candidates with solid, well
thought out proposals. Try to evaluate the plat
forms and see if the candidate is running because
he believes in class government or5 if he is merely
someone shoved in to pad the ballot.
Take In all the advertising, all the platforms
then vote!
There are a lot of students, more than any
election in recent years, running for class and
Student Council positions. Most of them are run
ning because they honestly want to represent you.
It is up to you to show equal interest and elect
the best candidates.
The best candidates can only be elected if
every eligible voter exercises his privilege. Unless
everyone votes, certain candidates will win be
cause they are supported by block votes not be
cause they are the best persons for the job. This
does not mean that the candidates supported by
the Faction, or any other political movement, are
not worthy. But it does mean that these candi-

dates should be elected on the basis of that worth
and not because they happen to have group sup
port. There are some enterprising independents
running this year. I believe that it would be good
for the school if the myth that an independent
doesn't have a chance in campus politics would
be blasted. That does not mean that I endorse all
independents; it does mean that no one should be
overlooked because he doesn't wear a Greek pin.
There are women on the ballot in unprece
dented force. This might indicate a strong coed
vote. If it does, it will be the first time I can

Councils from Colleges
A few weeks ago there was some heated dis
cussion concerning the re-opening of filings for
class officers. The Student Council decided to re
open the filings because a lack of candidates
threatened to Invalidate the officer elections.
But the Council Judiciary Committee and the
faculty had to pass on the Council action.
It was in the Judiciary Committee meeting
that the two views concerning the future of class
government decided on a compromise. This com
promise was accepted by the faculty and Thurs
day afternoon the Council also passed it.
Here's the plan: Instead of having Council
chosen, class councils working with the class offi
cers, junior and senior representatives from eight
colleges would fulfill this function. The officers
elected this spring would implement this plan and
prepare it for the future.
a senior class president would be elected by the
seniors at large. The other officers would be
elected by the college representatives.
The class councils serving now were chosen
last fall by the Student Council from applicants.
nouncements and helping with other activities.
The important thing about this new idea is
the support it is getting from both the advocates
of strong class government and their opponents.
With backing like this, the new plan is sure of
success.
Just how is this new proposal better than the
old plan? In the first place, it satisfies the old
claim that true class spirit can come only through
the colleges. Class associations, it is argued, are
made and kept on the college level (this is ex
cluding associations made within small social or
ganizations). This college loyalty will be ex
ploited under this new plan.

The 97-hour maximum, most Council members
agreed after the meeting, would have opened the
vote to a number of students who will clearly be
seniors next year and who should have the right
to help select their class officers.
They also seemed to regret that the Student
Council had not acted three or four weeks earlier.

terests of Nebraskans are .not being entirely
neglected.
Sen. Dwight Griswold (R-Neb) was quoted
Wednesday as stating that he would vote against
the Tidelands bill now before the Senate, which
would award the oil-rich submerged lands to the
states bordering the ocean.
The Nebraska Unicameral Legislature the
game day voted 27-11 in favor of federal owner
ship of the lands.
Nebraska's four Congressional representatives,
however, have already voted to give the oil lands
and their title to California, Texas, Louisiana and
Florida. Sen. Butler (R-Neb) will undoubtedly
follow the same line.
Thus, among the six representatives who pos
sess a vote, Nebraska has only one congressman

No doubt, you have, Jn all prob
ability, the most elaborate display
of E Week. In your own words,
the course of electrical engineer
ing is of such "Herculean under
taking" that you are "forced to re
quire several floors to house ell
the numerous machines, devices,
phenomena, developments and
progressive engineering habits."
One cannot help being awed by
your magnificent array of gadgets
and devices which bless our so
ciety with all the labor-saving
machines for which we labor. But
one wonders what on earth all
these ethereal gadgets are doing
here. They should be in an en
vironment akin to their nature.
There Is such a place, you
know. It is called Infinity. We
lowly mortals cannot go there,
for it Is for Electricals only, and
the sole means of conveyance is
the Slide Rule Express.
But I hear it is an electrical
heaven, located equidistantly from
the third points of Monotony,
Boredom and Doldrum.
So why not locate the EE com
ponent of the E Week display
there there, where they have
solved the riddle of the squared
circle and speak in hushed tones
of gobbledegook. That's where you
laddies belong, for, as far as this
world's concerned, "You're out of
it."
