Political Chiseling
On Publication Staffs.
WHILE applications pour in for
appointments to the staffs of
the various publications, we are
wondering about the system of ap
pointments as made by the publi
cations board. On this board,
which determines the personnel of
the various staffs each year, are
three student representatives elect
ed by the student body, and five
faculty members appointed by the
administration.
The faculty members on the
board are for the most part inno
cent of any knowledge of student
politics. They are on the board
for the purpose of seeing that the
positions go to the people who de
serve them. But they are neces
sarily out of contact with the work
of the staffs, and must rely on
what often amounts to more or
less irrelevant data in determining
their selections.
It is proper, therefore, that
there should be student representa
tion on the board. The real pur
pose of the student representation
as we see it, however, is to give
the board benefit of more or less
intimate knowledge of what is go
ing on in the offices of the Corn
busker, Awgwan, and Daily Ne
braskan. The students should have
definite information as to who has
worked hard and who has not.

Students Should Call
For Annuals at Once
All students who have not yet
obtained their copies of the 1933
Cornhusker should call for it im
mediately, according to Business
Manager . Skade. The Cornhusker
office will be open Monday after
noon from 1 to 4 o'clock. Final
payment of books purchased on
the installment plan must be made
at this time.
They should represent the student
point of view as to who is worthy
of an appointment from the stu
dent viewpoint and who is not.
OUT as the system actually
" works out. the three student
representatives are actually fac
tion representatives. They are
usually as unfamiliar with the
work done in the publications of
fices as the faculty members. It
is primarily their function, in
practice, to do their utmost for
the faction which was responsible
for their election on this board.
In other words they usually sit
in pub board meetings doing what
they can to carve out jobs for their
faction henchmen at the expense
of the opposite faction applicants.
With chisels poised, they await a
favorable opportunity to fix the
Cornhusker staff, for instance, so
that all its positions will be occu
pied by Blueshirts or Yellowjack
ets, as the case may be.
We are not condemning any stu
dent publication board members.
We do not assert that this prac
tice of political determination is
always adhered to. In fact it is
surprising how frequently the ap
pointments are made on the basis
of merit.
But the fact remains that the
system of student representation
on this appointing body is singu
larly adapted to the encourage
ment of political skullduggery. It
is unfortunate that the system
merely takes it for granted that
faction politics will enter into the
selections.
,
"1XE hesitate to suggest the
" remedy which we are going
to suggest because the worldly
wise will merely laugh. They will
say that our proposed system is
merely a different name for allow
ing politics to enter into the selec
tion of appointees.
This suggestion is that the re
tiring staff members of each pub
lication be allowed to vote in the
selection instead of student mem
bers who know little of the actual
work in the publications offices.
We realize that it has been true
that retiring editors have tried to
do their bit to fix up their particu
lar friends with appointments.
They have appeared before the
board with recommendations
drawn according to faction or fra
ternal lines.
We boldly claim, however, that
this has not been true in the case
of Daily Nebraskan appointments
for several years. A tradition has
been built up which frowns on
such a practice, and when recom
mendations have been made, they
have been the conscientious opin
ion of the Nebraskan staff mem
bers as to who deserved appoint
ments on the basis of work done
and ability.
WE feel that this same tradi
tion could and would be built
up by other publications if there
was not the feeling that politics
were going to enter in anyway.
We believe that a retiring editor

would not have the face to go be
fore the board with a bunch of
recommendations made on politi
cal grounds.
But to forestall any possibility
of such practice, it would seem
eminently fair for the publications
board to frankly recognize the ex
istence of faction politics. The re
tiring editors should be required
to explain the faction affiliations
of the various applicants. And if
this is not enough, the opinion of
other staff members on the same
publication should be sought in
each instance, as a check on the
retiring editor's recommendations.
In brief this is the plan we
should like to see adopted. There
is nothing more disillusioning to a
student who has worked hard than
to see his claim to an appointment
passed in favor of someone who for
political reasons had a "drag." We
feel that these appointments, car
rying as they do small salaries, are
of sufficient importance to justify
precautions against such things.
And we feel strongly that the
main considerations which should
enter into the selections should be
the amount of work done and the
way it was done. Only those who
have actually worked on the staffs
are in a position to really know
these facts. That is why we sug
gest the abdication of the political
faction representation in favor of
student representation of the true
interests involved.
We Think You
Must Vote Tes.'
WITHOUT making any extrav
v agant claims or attempting
any emotional ballyhoo, the Ne
braskan today makes its last plea
for the activity tax. Tomorrow you
undergraduates start registering
for next semester classes and
when you complete your registra
tion in the office of the dean of
your college you will have your op
portunity to vote on the activity
tax plan.
Your registration schedule com
prises the plan for what will or
should constitute your major ob
jective next year. The courses
listed on that schedule are the pri
mary reason why you will be here
in Lincoln next year. But we ven
ture to make the bold assertion
that there is not one single student
who will register this coming week
who in looking forward to next
year thinks that his life here will
be entirely circumscribed by the
requirements of his curricular
work.
In fact we will go so far as to
maintain that few students would
look ahead with any pleasure to a
year at Nebraska U if they thought
that there was nothing to umver
sity life except going to classes
and studying. We are not trying
to deprecate the importance of
that scholastic work. But we are
trying to indicate that the flavor
of college life is added by your
contacts with students, your par
ticipation in affairs outside the
classroom, your recreations and
amusements, in short your feeling
of being a part of this institution.
We who are seniors will not be
affected one way or another by
your decision on this tax plan, but
we sincerely feel that you under
graduates will be very beneficially
affected if you vote "yes." If you
vote "no" of course the University
of Nebraska will continue to func
tion but the student body as a
whole will be missing something
they might and should have.
