THE MAN AT THE HELM
pvrv sehool with a football team
veil leader. The methods of
electing these leaders by the different
Rtnnt bodv are various. Purdue nas
all candidates appear before a big
meeting and later a final try-out is
eivn at a football game. After each
aspiring leader has in this way dis
played his ability and talent, the lucKy
man is chosen by acclamation.
We understand that within the next
fpw davs there will be a call for yell
leaders from the student body of Ne
braska. The exact method of the se
lection is not as yet ready for the
public, but time is ripe for the assem
Wine of a good line of candidates.
Manv a game is won or lost by the
support of the student body. The yell
leaders are the directors and engineers
of this spirit. The importance of
selecting the proper men for these
positions cannot be over-emphasized.
Personal "pull" and politics should be
entirely eliminated when it comes to
the selection of men to fill such re
sponsible positions.
And it is a responsible position. At
a first glance one would judge that it
would require no particular person
ality and mental capacity to fill the
shoes of a yell leader. He must not
only be a man with agility and a
powerful pair of lungs but he must
be a natural leader of men. He is the
fellow who should control the crowd;
he must judge the proper time for
U-U-UNT; in fact he is the man at the
helm.
For this reason the Daily Nebraskan
would like to see a large number of
r rvtrtber 5 next, the election for
.v. Affln rtf the four classes of the
i lit; vuivvi -
University will be held in Memorial
Hall. Would it not be better to now
discuss the manner in which these
elections should be carried on tnan io
wait until after the election and then
agree that the excessive amount of
campaigning at the polls should not
have been allowed?
Of all the paltry things that stu
dents do on the campus the one that
seems the smallest and provokes the
largest amount of justified criticism
is the mad rush for votes at tne pons
election day. At that time the "sys
tem" is well oiled and on the job.
There we see all sorts of political
trades and combinations, which all
too often accomplish the purpose for
which they were made, and at all
times make the expression of the ma
jority of the voters, to say the least,
very difficult and often impossible.
The Registrar has published the
usual election notice, which closes
with the following: "There shall be
no soliciting of votes by carda or
otherw ise at or near the polls. We
suggest that this be amended and then
enforced. As it stands it means noth
ing. Why not substitute for the words
at or near the polls," a definite
boundary that one and all could rec
ognize and observe, such as "within
one hundred feet of the polls."
Tn state elections the authorities do
not allow political activity within a
certain fixed limit of the polls. Why
then should the University authori
ties not enforce such a rule? Of
course, this Is not the only change
that should be inaugurated in class
elections, but this is one change very
necessary to cleaner politics at Ne
braska.

Commission Forced to Recede
It was reported today that the com
mission has sought to raise a billion
dollars on joint Anglo-French, govern
ment notes without collateral-bearing
interest at 4i per cent, and that it
receded from its position only in the
face of repeated assurances that It
would fail in its mission unless it
could offer -better terms. A 5 per cent
rate then was ocered, it was 6aid,
with the positive assurance that this
rate would not be exceeded. The de
mand still was for-a billion dollars.
Within the past week an American
banker said tonight the commission
had been compelled to recede from
this position also, upon emphatic as
sertions of American financiers that It
was unlikely a billion dollar loan
could be floated at that interest rate.
Throughout the period of negotia
tions, until a day or two ago, it was
said, the commission had dominated
the situation, 'pointing out to Amer
ican financiers that the need for the
establishment of the loan was greater
to the United States than either to
Great Britain or France. Quite a few
American bankers, it was said tonight.
have not shared this view, although
all were in accord as to the desirabil
ity of establishing the credit of suffi
ciently liberal terms could be obtained.

The Trouble Explained
For the Information of the readers
of the Nebraskan concerning the
trouble some fraternities have had in
announcing their list of pledges this
year, the following report is pub
lished:
The Silver Lynx fraternity will hold
no more parties until further notice
from the student organizations com
mittee of the University. This was
decided upon Thursday evening at a
meeting of that committee. Complaint
was made that the fraternity had iol
ated the rules by giving a dancing
party before the opening of rush wetk.
Some of the committeemen were in
favor of prohibiting dances for the re
mainder of the semester, but they were
overruled, and the suspension limit
was left indefinite. The details of
the meeting could not be confirmed
last evening, owing to the fact that
Chairman Mary Graham was out of the
city and other members said that Miss
Graham alone had authority to give
out information concerning committee
meetings. So far the Silver Lynx so
ciety has announced no pledges.
Neither has the Delta ChL In answer
to a request for a list of the names
it was announced at the Delta Chi
house Thursday evening that the list

When He Proposed
What he thought he would say:
That he had never seen her look
lovelier.
That in some indefinable manner
she always inspired him to do his
best.
That every moment he was away
from her he was in a torment of black
despair.
That every moment he was with her
he was In the seventh heaven of
bliss.
That they might hare to begin In
a small way, but he knew this could
not last long.
That his family were all crazy about
her. "
That her family might not under
stand htm now, but that was only be
cause they didn't know him.
That he loved her with a love that
swept over him like the Johnstown
flood.
That he simply couldn't live with
out her.
That he knew he could make her
happy.
That he never thought of any other
girl from the aoment he laid eyes on
her.
What lie did say:
He cant remember.
