THE DAILY NEIIBASKAN L I The Forum FRESHMEN TRIUMPH Tho editorial in the "Rag" recently in regard to class politics Is of such a nature that it should not go with out comment. It states that their 1b nothing wrong with machine control of class politics. That class politics are frequently controlled by a machine no one doubts, but that machine con trol of class politics 1b at all justifi able will not bo accepted for an In stant. In fact it Is safe to say that the student body would bo glad to see a system adopted whereby class of fices would become recognized as po sitions of honor to bo conferred on the best candidate and not as positions carrying tho power of commltteo ap pointments and to be bargained for because of that power. Tho Australian ballot system is gen erally accepted as a success and a return to the old method is not to be thought of, but there are several bad features that should be changed. Some arrangement should be mado which would result In the classes getting to gether if only for a short while. ClaBB spirit Is almost extinct and it is large ly duo to the new system. Also some way Bhould be found to stop tho per sonal solicitations of candidates. Though many students will not vote for a candidate who begs for votes yet the custom has grown to such an extent that it is now almost impos sible to be elected unless a candidate does resort to that method At least such a rule as is customary in ward politics and which prevents solicita tions within one hundred yards of the polling place might be adopted. The election to the Cornhusker po sitions should he changed. A better system would be for the sophomore class to elect an assistant business manager in September and if found capable he should be promoted to the position of business manager at an election in June. In the past this idea prevailed in regard to the editor of the Cornhusker Tho junior manag ing editor if found to bo capable of i tho position was advanced to editor-' in-chief. But the present system whereby the junior managing editor 1b elected to the position in Febraury, boforo half tho work of tIo Cornhusk er Is done defeats that idea, for it has not been determined whether or not he is capable of handling that posi-1 tion. But when anyone tries to propose a plan of any nature there is at present no effective way in which to get ac tion. The Innocents have done a great deal of effective word but the nature of that organization is such that it is not practical to bring a plan to them. A student council elected by the two upper classes and consisting of both juniors and seniors, having public meetings and open to suggestions from non-members is a need at Nebraska. i W. E. KAVAN.
