VOTING YOUR CONVICTIONS
The University, above all else, should be a training for useful
citizenship. No more important duty exists for the citizen than to
intelligently cast his vote. A test of the student's grasp of the meaning
of his University is the way in which he casts his vote at the school
elections.
This semester in particular is one in which Independent thinking
should be done by the student voters. The coming spring months will
mark the celebration of Nebraska's semi-centennial, with Lincoln, as
the capital, the center of the celebration, and with the University, on
its Ivy Day, and for its part in the great pageant to be given in June,
set aside for especial attention.
The students must elect tomorrow, then, those whom they fe?l will
best represent them next spring. The Ivy Day orator must be a man
of ability as a thinker, skill as a talker. The class presidents should
be persons of force of character enough, and personality enough to
favorably impress the people who will visit Lincoln and the University
then; and President Wilson, it is hoped, will be one of them.
TAKE THE CORNHUSKER OUT OF POLITICS
The filings of candidates for places on the Cornhusker staff have
closed, and for the two most important positions, editor-in-chief and
business manager, but one person has filed. Two have filed for the
place of junior managing editor.
Positions on the Cornhusker staff require persons of peculiar and
marked ability. It is absurd to think that they can be selected by the
whim of class politics. These positions have no place, and have never
had a place, in the realm of politics in the University, a realm that is
governed largely by cliques and rings, where offices are often bought
and sold by promises of plums, an annual melange of personality,
intrigue and folly.
The Cornhusker positions should be taken out of politics. The
student publication board should take over the selection of men and
women for the staff of the University annual, as it now selects the
men and women for the staff of The Daily Nebraskan.
It will be generally admitted cn the campus, that the Cornhuskers
of the past few years have been almost barren of interest beyond the
personal pleasure the subscriber may have in seeing his own picture
and his own name in print. The book has lacked originality; it has
been common campus opinion, strongly supported by circumstantial
evidence, that the staff has been more anxious to make money than to
put out a worthy book.
It is no reflection on the present Cornhusker staff, or the candidates
for places on that of next year, that this condition exists. It is a fault
of the political system governing the Cornhusker. A man elected to
office as a result of the activities of a ring must dole out appointments
to the members of that ring, whether or not they are the most worthy.
The present candidates for places on the Cornhusker staff will
probably be able to put out a book up to the usual standard, and per
haps better than any before. In a school of 5,000 students, however,
the most important positions on publications should not be filled by
default. It has been demonstrated that under the present system,
many people really worth while will not try for the place.
If the student publication board Ehould announce that it would
hereafter select the members of the staff of the Cornhusker, after a
thorough combing of the field for available candidates, student senti
ment would support the board.
And the Cornhusker would probably be a better annual.
If the board does not do it at once, out of deference for the candi
dates who have worked so hard, then let the board make this announce
ment for the selection of future staffs.
The dinner of the Order of the Golden Fleece was the brilliant suc
cess that it was expected to be. The red heads occupy the limelight
today. After the election tomorrow the "soreheads" will probably be
prominent for a few days.
Although the basketball team came home somewhat battered, re
member it is still our team, with a hard season ahead. We are proud
of its fighting spirit, even in defeat.
