Hicks Business Manager Clarence Eickhoff Asst. Business Manager Otto Skold Circulation Manager CARES NOT FOR BOK. . That Nebraska students care not a whit whether the Bok Peace Plan will or will not solve our interna tional difficulties, is the only infer ence one can draw from the results of the straw vote just taken here. Out of over three thousand ballots distributed by the Student Council, only 73 were returned. Mr. Bok's one hundred thousand dollars might just as well have gone up in smoke, for all the good it did here and the plan excited no more interest on the campus than an auto mobile parked on twelfth street. But the vote of 66 for and 7 against the plan is at least a hope ful sign. The majority of those who could not spare the time to put a cross upon the ballot were at least in favor of the plan or perhaps that represented only a group of well wishers, giving voice to their sentiments. Regardless of the small number that voted, the University of Nebras ka student body has gone on record as being in favor of the plan, and to the world it matters not that loss than a hundred out of thousands participated. Such is the futility of straw bal lots, unless conducted on a large scale and widely participated in. THE MORNING AFTER- NEBRASKA SPIRIT. Nebraska spirit bus received an other plaudit, and this time it tomes form the south. In the editorial column of the Oklahoma Daily, the following appeared: "School spirit undoubtly plays an important part in building the mor ale of a team representing a Uni versity. "Nebraska for days before her games holds pep meetings in the classes, on the campus, or any place where students are gatnerel there. Big Ten schools possessing teams of championship calibre think, feel and talk athletics between the games. The men who will represent the .schools are given the utmost of at tention and consideration by both students and faculty." Nebraska spirit bolsters the mor ale of our teahs, and then, our teams bolster Nebraska spirit. It is a con tinuous process. service to the University and to the student body. THE CORNHUSKER. One of the largest student enter prises at the University of Nebras ka, is the Cornhusker, the annual. Few realize the size of the undertak ing, the amount of work that is necessary, the number of people that are engeged, the amount ex pended, the range that It covers. $ IK, 000 is the cost of issuing the yearbook this year, which puts it on the same basis as a business with an annual turnover of this amount. This money is handled by student executives, through the Student Ac tivities office, and involves more responsibility than is to be taken lightly. The number of students employed on the Cornhusker is approximately 250, including workers in both the editorial and business departments. This furnishes an idea of the im mense amount of work that is in volved in the production of one is sue of the book. Work on the yearbook is very practical, because of trie valuable experience the workers receive. The editorial department offers training lay-out, photography, copy reading, proof reading, literary and art work, design and organizatiion of material. The business staff receives training in salesmanship, advertising, collections and credits. So aside from its chief duty that of faithfully recording a complete resume of the school year the Cornhusker is performing a valuable Student Opinion. CLASS ELECTIONS. Interest in the class elections for the past few years has certainly lagged. Only a choice few would bother to go to the polls and vote. Nearly all the elections were fixed before election day. A man knew just how much support tie could de pend on. He relied upon the usual number not coming out. Criticisms have been made of the personal nomination, and they are to some degree legitimate. The man who is best fitted for ttie office will not always be the man who has enough "nerve", if you will, to place himself before the public eye. How does the general student body regard men wno nominate themselves? Do they look on them with respect and honor, as a class officer should be looked upon? After nomination announcements, we have more than once heard dis satisfied rumors of the unfitness of the men running. A man who would nominate him self must either have a certain de gree of personal conceit, or have re ceived sufficient sugestrons from his fellow students to make tilm think he is desired. And it is often the de greeof personal conceit mat puts him on the ballot, and not the support of his fellows. Some system should be established by which a man to De nominated should obtain a certain number of signatures, and his nomination should be sponsored by someone other than himself or there should be class meet ings and regular nominations with nominating speeches made. Either ol these two methods would help do away with the dissatisfaction felt by so many students, and would poll a much larger vote. It would help bring forth a better spirit, and help live down the reputation Nebraska has for not having a good spirit. The spirit we have shown tnis year has greatly increased, but the maximum amount will not be had until we have a system of nomination different than the present one. V. D .S. Notices Notices will be run for only two days. Organisations should not hand them in until throe days before the event, as it is im possible to run them for long periods. Student Council.

His solution of lasb weeks problem is as follows: "Yes!" The problem for this week is rather simple so we are offering two prizes a pair of chop-sticks. The question follows: You have asked a girl to accompany you to a show. She responds, "I'll go ask mother. You wait here!" Should you wait? ' We wonder just what the Nebraskan sport writer meant when he re ferred to a track man as "mercury-footed." Maybe he intended to say Mercury-footed. One morning the past week, in looking over the front page of our fav orite daily, we discovered these headings: "Drive to get Denby's scalp; Wood denies graft story; Head of New York anti-saloon league held guilty of forgery; Men high in the law to push the oil probe; Army air service inquiry asked." The time seems ripe for Senator James Reed to commence another "propaganda probe," for it appears that the "Prince of Darkness" is greet ing a lot of ffree advertising for his notorious winter resort. CAUSE OR EFFECT? Since cheer leading has bean made a subject in the curriculum at Sanford university, a precedent has been set that should mean much in the educational world.

Wednesday evening of each week some field work will be given in Ford driving 81. . v And we already have our golf courses. OUR POETS CORONER. Dear Editor of The Morning After: I offer a little triolet for your column. It was inspired by watching at the muny skating rink. You may take a fall, but oh my! You look simply bewitching on skates: On one foot you glide gracefully by; You may take a fall, but oh my! Eyes distainfully noting the sky; Looks to me like you're tempting the fates You may take a fall, but oh my! You look simply bewitching on skates. Great guns! She did! But she was. Your, Oh Henry. A glorious purple sun trailed its path across the green tined sky. The world seemed at peace. Mauve-shaded cattle grazed contentedly in the cherry colored meadows, pausing occasionally to turn their deep violet eyes toward (This sounds like an "off-color" story, so I guess that we had bet ter call it a day). uh Christian Endeavor Sunday :.
