Editorial Comment
Sacked Out
Maybe step has been taken toward self-government
by students. The Daily Nebraskan will
be awaiting the results of the review by the of
fice of student affairs on the case of the Theta
Chi fraternity antics.
The Interfraternity Council was given the op
portunity to look at a case of one of its members
by the student affairs office and pass judgement
on the organization even so far as setting the
punishment.
Whether the job which the the IFC has done
will meet with approval of the Student Affairs
office we do not know at this time. But we do
know that a step in the right direction, a step
toward students disciplining of themselves has
been taken.
We cannot say whether the action taken by
the IFC was too harsh. Perhaps it was the
thing to do under circumstances.
We can speculate, however, that the work of
the IFC in the handling of the fraternity
"prank" was swift and apparently democratic
justice.
Some schools of thought around the campus
seem to believe that the action allowing the
IFC to handle the disciplinary action is a dis
crimination against independents. "After all,"
one junior in Arts and Sciences suggested, "if
an independent were gjilty of such action he
would be dragged before the Dean of Men for
discipline. It seems that being a Greek allows
one the privilege of judgment of one's peers."
But no matter how students look at the case all
will probably agree that this is a definite move
toward self-government, possibly even toward
the establishment of a student tribunal on the
campus.
There must be some starting point from which
the administration can gauge if students are
capable of handling their own problems. And
since the IFC is a well-organized group it seems
that it is as good a one as any to test student
trials.
It will certainly be interesting to see the re
sults of the review by the office of the dean. We
are hoping that the IFC will not.be overruled.
We see a great deal of hope for the future of a
student tribunal by this step toward allowing
the student to judge himself and deliver a just
punishment.

Homecoming Elections
If it's not one thing it's another.
Last year the big squabble the student body
had with the Tassels was that the candidates
for homecoming queen were not representative
of the students at large. They had been just
members of the Tassels.
This year the big wind is blowing over the
length of time during which students are allowed
to vote for this very important honorary posi
tion on the campus.
Now in the first place, it should be known that
the Student Council sent a recommendation to
the Tassels which, in effect, stated, "the names
of the nomecoming queen candidates should be
released to the Daily Nebraskan for Friday
publication and voting on homecoming queen
be changed to from 1 to 9:30 p. m. Friday
(that's today)."
Now it seems that there's a mixup some
place along the line.
The letter of recommendation should have
been in the hands of the Tassels long ago. The
pep organization should have been given ample
chance to discuss with various members of the
Council the reasons for the desired chages.
These changes, it seems, are obvious to those
who look at elections with a somewhat objec
tive eye.
In the first place it is hoped that a great num
ber of students will partake in the election. We
doubt that there will be a big turnout. But even
if there were, it would be arithmetically im
possible to handle every student in the Univer
sity who is eligible to vote during the two hour
voting period. Carrying this to its most ridicu
lous point, there's less than a second for each
of the over 8,000 students to get a glimpse at
the candidates, make the decision, check the
ballot and get the I. D. card punched.
But there won't be anywhere near that num
ber of persons voting.
And this is because of the time of the elec
tion. Now it is assumed that the election is be
ing held following the rally to insure a large
crowd at the rally. But the hour is so incon
venient for so many that this just doesn't work
out. It hasn't in the past. It's not likely to now.
In the third place, students don't have enough
time to get a look at the candidates, find out
what their qualifications are and make a choice.
The candidates are presented to the people
at the rally, certainly. But how many get a
good look then?
We are led to believe that this method of
operation is being undertaken to avoid politics
in the election. Well, who ever heard of an
election which wasn't full to the brim with
politics. The only worry the Tassels should
have is that the ballot boxes might be stuffed.
After all, we doubt whether much pressure
can be put on a fraternity pledge to sign a
certain name in a ballot and certainly no check
can be made as to the candidate anyone voted
for.
In general we feel that there isn't enough
publicity given to the candidates. If this is such
an important election (and this newspaper is
the first to admit the importance of it) then we
feel the students have a right to know who
are to be the candidates ahead of election time.
But it seems that what is being said is being
said too late for this year.
Perhaps, though, the Tassels can take it from
us that the student population in general would
be much happier in the future if the time for
the elections were lengthened, if the publicity
were available at least a couple of days be
fore the election and if the election were held
at a more convenient time.
Then, maybe it's not too late . , ,

since. (This is not to say that I
am not open to offers.) But I am
told that a stampede ensued un

mallows off the ration list. A few
staunch traditionalists discreetly
kissed their girls and let it go at
that. Others simply parked their

Words .
Of a Kind
e. e. hiiies
Yahnnie Cobster was proud of
ole Cornaska U., school of the
pink and gray.
Once its teams had reigned vic
torious over the Bean-B e 1 1
schools. Though the state had nev
er had mountains it had known
many prosperous and proud years
in which its countryside was dotted
with fields of greenbeans gently
swaying in the breeze, and Its
giant beanboys gallantly and tri
umphantly carried the pigskin for
ole Cornaska U.
These were the days when Corn
Caugas state, Folklahoma, Fio
way State and Holorado U. looked
ahead with dread to the Saturday
when they would have to meet the
Bean-Belt butchers.
But, alas, a blight one year
struck down the state's fields of
greenbeans. And with the fall of
the beans came the fail of the
beanboys butchers.
They dashed off to other states
to play their football. States of
corn and oil and wheat attracted
the lads. And, thus, was marked
the end of glorious fall seasons on
the Cornaska gridiron.
The once ivy-covered Cornaska
campus lost its traditional appear
ance. Its buildings and trees in
stead donned a new array . . ,
effigies of football coaches.
Yet the proud people of Corn
aska fretted not. Like Dodder fans
of old they shouted, "Wait till
next year!"
And so they waited and
eventually hanged a new group
of coaches in effigy.
Still not crying, "I give up," they
decided on a big schedule. They
played Fittsbuff and Farmy, great
Eastern powers. Then when the
team lost they said, "By George,
I know what's wrong. Those Uni
versity students at Cornaska
aren't as beany and bouncy as of
old."
All of the metropolis newspapers
sent their best beansprout report
ers to Cornaska campus to ask,
"Why?" That is, "Why aren't you
students here as beany and bouncy
as your pops and moms were 20
or 30 years ago?"
Yahnnie Cobster was one of
the boys Interviewed.
He said, "Me, I got the spirit."
He then beat on his chest and
sang "Dear ole Cornaska U."
Then he ran screaming down
the street ringing a bell.
Next he inspired a group of peo
ple to thunder forth with a rumble
of "rah-rah's." :
He dashed down the campus
streets in his car, stopping where
ever he saw a crowd, and moti
vating the students to rally in the
very streets of old Cornaska U.
itself to show the world that they
all had the spirit even yet.
Of course, this took a little time.
He ignored a few studies.
The next week, campus police
fined him $1 for blocking the
street and withdrew his park.ing
sticker for "abusing the privilege."
He was on social probation for
making too much nois on campus
during the evenings.
He was on scholastic probation
for failing two tests.
And he was tco hoarse to give
his spirit speeches on the Union
steps.
But all the world now knew that
his spirit burned bright even yet
at Cornaska U.

very well and good to pluck at
your typewriter once or twice a
week for your own pleasure, but
the realization that people are be
ing amused or angered by what
you write brings with it an omi
nous dread and a certain sense of
responsibility.
Faced with these dual emotions,
one can adopt one of two lines of
action: (1) He may clothe him
self in the discretion customary to
leading contestants in the Scamper
For The Scarlet and write copy,
cloying fables concerning toadies,
mudhawks and frisbies, or (2) He
may write about something which
seems to him significant and which
he thinks someone somewhere
might find interesting. In either
case, he must realze that at any
given moment he may be under
discussion.
This lengthy prologue brings me
to the crux of this week's Schultz
ian mental gymnastics. A few
niprhts ago someone posted on the
Phi Psi bulletin an editorial called
"Are We Rejects?" written by my
colleague, Mr. Rex Menuey for
publication in some Independent
newspaper. I am reasonably cer
tain that Mr. Menuey had never
intended that a fraternity should
read his editorial. He implied that
the Greeks are "shortsighted and
prejudiced." and that we are "in
sulting" the Quadrangle. He al
leged that they have "in the Quad
potentialities which far outstrip
that which the Greeks have to of
fer today." And he rambled Into

"Nichols", author of Nichols
for Your Thoughts which appears

lina Tar Heel came along at the
right time.
Here's what the Sage of the
South has to say about the brawl
springing up all over the country
over school spirit:
I'm curious about these reports
I've been hearing of a rebirth
of "school spirit" on campus.
This phenomenon seems to hit
at unusual times. The last time
I heard any mention of it was dur
ing last year's basketball sea
son. (UNC had a record of 32
straight wins then.)
It seems to me that "team
spirit" (and winning team, at
that) would be more the word for
it. I've seldom met anyone
on campus who really cared
whether or not ol UNC came out
on top in any cross-country meets,
soccer games, and the like.
Soccer, for one, can be quite
a good spectator sport. It's got
speed, teamwork, sharp passing
and individual as well as team
excellence. And incidentally,
cheerleaders, it has wonderful
potential for cheering and like
activities. It's no secret that soccer
is the national sport in a great
many foreign countries. Surely,
it must have something to
recommend it to such vast crowd.
his peroration by suggesting that
there are "cracks in the Greek
wall," and that "Making sport of
what appears (sic) to be crumbling
walls will not leave much to de
vote to the future. Let those who
are going to die, die, and those
who are going to be born, be born.
The future is ours (the Independ
ent's) if we will have it."
Now I was pleased to note a
couple of weeks ago that another
colleague of mine, Lyle Hansen,
adopted the viewpoint that the fra
ternity system and the Quadrangle
can work in a spirit of friendly
rivalry and even co-operation, He
shares this opinion with many
Greeks, who have even been heard
to observe that the resurrgence of
the Independents could offer just
the sort of competition that the fra
erniy aystem needs if it is to
grow.
But that pleasure Is now lessened
by the Irresponsible remarks of Mr.
Menuey. If he will look more close
ly, if he will bother to look at all,
he will note that most fraternity
men do not insult the dorm men
because they do not give a damn
what happens in the Quad and
that those Greeks who do care
like myself are completely in fa
vor of an Independent uprising if
it is carried on in the proper spir
it. But the spirit which the dorm
should adopt Is not that of a young
vulture licking his chops and hop
ing to cut his teeth on the bones
of a dead fraternity system. This
spirit is not right for two reasons:
(1) It can only stir animosity
among the affiliates and (2) The
fraternity system is not dead, is
not dying, and as a matter of
fact is not even sick.
So please, Rex, if you are going
to look forward, do so. But take
the time to look around first.

Likes Short Exams
I for one favor the eight day
exam period.
I think that if a student has had
a chance to study during the sem
ester, if he has followed the lec
tures and the material which the
professor has presented in class
and if he has been faithful in his
assignments, then there should be
no question but that he should be
prepared to take an exam at any
time.
But then this is the ideal situa
tion and who wants to deal with
ideals in this day and age when
men are no more than machines to
abide by what the majority rules,
no matter if they gay we should
all jump in the lake.
That's just how ridiculous extend

Shame On J.S.
In a letter published Wednesday
in the Nebraskan regarding AWS
housing rules, J. Silverheels said,
"Rules are rules, and any attempt
to get them changed is a clear case
of conspiracy against the estab
lished authority. Shame on you."
Shame on you, Mr. Silverheels.
Have you lost sight of the fact
that it is the right of every Amer
ican to voice his displeasure with
his government, and with the rules
that it has set up? Our whole,
great, American, democratic sys
tem is based on this very fact.
It will be indeed tragic, Mr. Sil
verheels, if the day ever comes
when we no longer have the right
to voice our displeasures with the
governing body.
If this is your honest attitude
toward this matter, Mr. Silver
heels, I take pity on you, but if
you are writing merely to be writ
ing something, I suggest that you
confine your literary attempts to
a subject of considerably less mag
nitude, lest you be given a label
that, in our surroundings, Is high
ly undesirable.
