THE ANNUAL CRY
Bigger and better and cleaner elections! The
cry goes around the campus twice a year or three
times if an election is thrown out on account of "dirty
politics".
Last year the cry was stronger than ever and the
Student Council took elaborate precautions. A clean
election seemed inevitable. The Daily Nebraskan came
out with a picture of the crowded polls, and the re
port of a record election.
But, rumor has it, even that election was not with
out its extra ballots nor as free from party manage
ment cs could be wished. This was not the fault of Mr.
Buck, then president of the Council. One hundred per
cent cooperation was necessary. One hundred per cent
cooperation, apparently was not to be had. Probably
the "clean" elections of the past were not conducive
to fair supervision by the Council members so elected.
Now rumor is about again. She whispers that two
faculty members will stand guard behind the booths
on election day next Tuesday. This can only be
brought about by an act of the StudVnt Council, but
recognition and admission by that body that it wishes
a clean election is the first step towards procuring one.
Mr. Jensen, president of the Council this year, is
bending every effort to bring about a clean election.
He can not do it alone. Nor can he, judging from the
past, intrust the job to his fellow council members and
rest assured that what the Council professes to desire
as a whole will not be violated by individual members
when the opportunity arises.
Faculty supervision of student elections is not
the ideal situation, but a clean election under faculty
supervision is preferable to auuLuer kind under student
management.
A COMMON BASIS
Considerable comment has come to this office
about the editorial, "Just Decisions", which appeared
in yesterday's Daily Nebraskan. In it the question of
publication and athletic eligibility were discussed, and
recent actions causing the dismissal of the editor of
the Cornhusker were commente.d upon.
This editorial, however, was not intended to of
fend the persons who caused the dismissal. Only one
grievance was held against them, that being the lack
of a definite rule which would decide without question
the matter of eligibility, as is done with athletes. No
other comment was intentionally meant against this
action. The steps taken were fair, and the incident,
although regrettable, will result in a finer cooperation
between the students and the authorities. That the au
thorities did wrong in making the decision or that they
knew of the ineligibility of the Editor of the Cornhus
ker at the time of his appointment is not now ques
tioned. The difficulties did not arise until some time
after the appointment was made.
With this situation as an example, students inter
ested in publications and other activities will have def
inite eligibility rules to follow. When a student files
for any office from now on he must remember that
his scholastic requirements are the same as those of
the athlete. If he is unable to ir.eet them while in of
fice, his fate will be identical to that of the football
player who is kept from the big game.
NO SPECIAL TO MISSOURI?
Telephone calls pour into the offices of The Daily
Nebraskan every afternoon asking why there is no
special train to Missouri this week-end. - Students on
the campus seem to wonder, but no one knows just why
a train could not be chartered.
There are two very good reasons.
First, no railroad goes directly to Columbia, Mis
souri; so it is necessary to make negotiations with two
systems for a special. When this complicated program
was attempted it was found that the railroads would
not consider the trip profitable unless a large number
of students (twice as many as are going now) could be
promised for the trip. No organization would defin
itely guarantee as large an attendance as this for such
s long trip. If the requirement had not been so strin
gent some campus organization would have sponsored
the special train. So, in the first place, the program
was considered impossible financially.
Another reason stood in the way. Suet a trip
could have been made successful if every student at
tending had promised to ride on the train, but the roads
to Columbia are excellent, and consequently the major
ity of students prefer to drive down.
A lirge Nebraska gathering at the game Saturday
is necessary. At present prospects look fairly good foi
a rooting section. But in the absence of a special train,
student are urged to drive to the game and help to
make the Nebraska rooting section a "noisy" place,
which the Cornhusker eleven will notice when they run
out on ine Missouri stadium field Saturday.
In Olher Columns
Students who attend this institution perhaps do
not realize the importance of the state which supports
it. Here are a few important facts taken from a recent
editorial in the Omaha World-Herald:
Meaty Facts About Nebravaka. .
Nebraskans may well be proud. Sixty years
ago this state was admitted to the union. Ita raw
hills and valleys have become agricultural won
ders. Its total wealth, is now $5,500,000,000, an av
erage of four thousand dollars per capita. The
total state income amounts to 719 million dollars
per year. Of the total population 47 per cent live
on farms.
It is now erecting a nine million dollar state
canitol.
During the past three years three thousand
miles of permanent highways have been construc
ted, and extensive contracts awarded for many
more miles.
The combined value of live stock and crops
amounts to $569,877,390. The state ranks first in
cattle per farm, the annual beef production
amounting to 1,400,000,000 pounds.
It has the largest horse market in the world.
The annual surplus of pork amounts to 1,332,
632,894 pounds.
The yearly value of milk produced on the
farm amounts to $43,340,000.
.The value of poultry raised in the state
amounts to 32 million dollars annually.
During the past five years the corn crop has
averaged 218,107,000 bushels, of which about 80
per cent is fed to live stock on the farms and in
feed yards.
Over three million tons of alfalfa is raised for
the market each year, which brings the agricul
turists between 35 and 40 million dollars.
Sugar beet sales amount to about five million
dollars per year, from which is mauufactured an
annual surplus of 80 million pounds of sugar.
An additional outstanding fact about Nebras
ka is that it has no bonded indebtedness, and can
not have any, except 100 thousand dollars for
emergency.

X H C
SPECTATOR
I have observed, how that when a Delusion or Mis
apprehension is once conceived (or, if you wish, not
conceived), it is likely to propagate itself to the Point
that Men accept it as truth without applying to it the
Test of Reason. This is probably the origin of all our
Religions and much of our Philosophy, though I hesi
tate to say so for the Reason that I am not sure just
what Religion is. But at any rate, I hasten to explain
that the Cause of this Train of Thought is a certain
Letter which appeared in the Daily Nebraskan of yes
terday. Since my Readers are most likely to be those
interested in College Affairs, and those mentally alert,
they probably read the Letter in Question, a commun
ication signed by L. M. M. which purposed to discuss
this Column.
I quote: "It is too absurd for words to think for
a moment that he (the Spectator) has any idea of
service driving him onward to ch unflagging labors."
Now this is the Sentence which caused me to speculate
upon the Human Susceptibility to Delusion and Mis
apprehension. One can see clearly that L. M. M. enter
tains a mistaken Idea of my Purpose and Ideals, and I
remark that I myself had never harbored the Suspicion
that I was giving Grounds for any such erroneous Con
clusions as he has drawn. And indeed, it was only the
other Day, when I was perusing the columns of this
Newspaper, that I ran across a statement by the Sec
retary of the esteemed Young Men's Christian Associa
tion; this Statement, I say, instilled in me the Desire
to do Good, created in my Soul the Hunger for Service,
and furnished the Basis for my Writings in the Ne
braskan. I quote the Christian Secretary's words: "Not
only should we do things for ourselves, but also for
others. It brings out our personality." This, then, is the
Golden Ideal for which I write, and none other. L. M. M.
appears to think that I write for fun. I would say to
you, Mr. L. M. M., would you consider it Fun to be
harried by a Mr. Haliam, who demands in the interest
of truth and justice that I discontinue my Column?
Would you term it Fun to make yourself a Martyr
to the End that the Campus might be uplifted? Ah; it
is only the Vision of Service that compels me to con
tinue my Column.
As my last Proof that no mean Desire for Amuse
ment is the Ground for this Column, I submit to Mr.
L. M. M. that only those who are having Fun give the
Appearance of Solemnity; and if Mr. L. M. M. will
call 'round at the Office he will find me a Man of jocu
lar Disposition. I say it is the solemn Man who hai the
Fun in this Life, and as a Concrete Instance of this
I refer my Readers to the Editor of the Awgwan, a
Campus Publication listed in the Directories as "hu
morous magazine." Now this Editor sits at his Desk
day in and day out with hardly a Smile crossing his
Countenance, for I have visited him on several occas
ions and have always found him in a Solemn State.
Perhaps I should add that this Editor is at this Point
in a state of Frenzy that borders on the Hysterical,
for his Publication is to come off the Press within a
very few Days, and what with the Anxiety as to how
the Public will receive him, and the Worries as to
when he ran get enough Humorous Copy to fill up
the rages, the Editor is in a bad way. For the benefit
of my Readers I note that I am to have a ."clever Ru
mination," as the Daily Nebraskan called it in the
forthcoming Awgwan. And I take Occasion to warn my
Readers tnat they have been misled, for there is not
a Clever Line in my Column.
I have had Cause to suspect, in this matter of
Publications, that the Campus will soon be thrown into
peculiar Situation as regards Material for Thoneht
For not only is the Awgwan to be published soon; but
The Prairie Schooner has threatened to come oft the
Press within ft few Days too, so with all thia Intellec
tual Stimulation on the Campus I suspect there may
mime isiuicujties witnin the Student Body,
be same Difficulties within the Student Body.
