Merrily to
Confusion.
TREATING OF chests and waving of flags are ae--
tlvities probably as ridiculous as any of the
many absurdities to which man is addicted, yet
those are the things the campus today Election
Day is supposed to be excited about Undergrad
uate politics (beating of chests, waving of flags,
even hoarse cries) is in the saddle.
The politicians have met in their faction
caucuses, and after considerable difficulty all their
turmoil has created a new alignment of voting
strength. Old parties, Blue Shirt and Yellow Jacket-Barb,
broke on the ancient rock of internal dis
tention. Out of the pieces came the two new par
ties, the Progressives, with which the Barbs are
aligned, and the Green Togas. Both are trying their
strength for the first time in today's election, and
although the class presidencies at stake, even for
campus politics, are not of the greatest importance,
they are typical enough, perhaps, to enable the new
parties to enjoy themselve.3 in a first-class squabble.
That the parties will enter into the squabble
with enthusiasm and an energetic display of
charges, counter-charges and all the other para
phernalia of politics is, of course, to be expected.
So far as anyone has ever been able to discover the
only justification for campus politics comes under
the head of amusement If the participants them
selves do not have a good time, then the whole com
plex system of factions, delegates, elections and
ballyhoo deserves little consideration and probably
ought to be abolished.
All of which is to say that if the political
maneuverings aren't kept free of bitterness they
need be no sorrow if they are completely swept
away. Their purpose is at best dubious if it cannot
remain solely 'in fun.'
It is very probable, too, that the dust of conflict

Much Ad
TO THE EDITOR:
The annual fall elections of the
university will be held Tuesday.
On both the down-town and agri
cultural campuses the members of
the junior and senior classes will
vote for their respective presidents.
The filling of the two positions
constitutes the entire slate of the
fall voting.
To a casual observer the selec
tion of but three candidates seems
relatively unimportant. But un
deriving the election is a situation
that is much more momentous
than an uninterested follower of
political faction decrees can rea
lize. Without a doubt, as the com
mon knowledge indicates, the of
fices of junior and senior class
presidents are nothing more or
less than figure-heads, surviving
only so that on Ivy day there will
be someone to plant the traditional
ivy. The insignificance of the po
sitions, however, does not detract
from the importance of thesitua
tion. The attempt to eliminate
campus politics should not cease
with organizations, but should ex
tend into elections. The actual
selection of candidates to offices of
the student body has been taken
from the power of the majority
and
few.
placed
Into the hands of a
A few days preceding the elec
tions, a group of representatives
from fraternities in the two fra
ternity factions, and a group from
the Barb faction met to select a
slate for the electiion. In the
methods of slate preparation lies
most of the evil of the present cor
rupt system of election. The fac
tion representatives seem to have
no conception of a code of ethics.
They do not care if the best man is
selected for the office, but that
their candidate is the chosen one.
If a fraternity which is running
a candidate can secure a majority
vote, that is all that is necessary.
Caucuses for candidates should be
barred from faction selection of
election slates, and more thought
should be given to the nominee's
qualifications.
Another root of evil in the sys
tem of election as it now exists is
the lack of active Interest in the
tilling of offices. When a faction,
whatever it may be, nominates a
person for office the voters of the
faction, regardless of whether the
candidate is the best qualified or
not turn out en masse to rally
around the colors of their affilia
tion. It seems disheartening that
a student Niy, which has the
power of selection in their hands,
and which will soon be among the
voters of the nation, should let
themselves be influenced r greatly
by a mere hand-full of political
aspirants.
It is up to the student body itself
to assert its power now, in order
to gain the authority in campus
politics which it rightly deserves.
It is the duty of every student to
vote in every election, not as any
faction leader decrees, but as each
person actually believes is the
right way. In this way only can
the power of the few be returned
to the many. Factions will be
forced to nominate men who are
qualified for the position, men who
will receive the greatest vote, per
sonal politics will be driven from
university elections, and capable
students will be placed in the po
sitions which need them.

will prevent the politicians themselves from seeking
their activities in this light (as more or less whole
some absurdity), but let them reflect how little their
jumping and squealing effects the university Itself.
Perhaps, then, the roar of the conflict will assume
for them a measure of its true proportion; instead
of a roar they will hear a few squeaks and some
faint groaning. But it's expecting a great deal to
hope that the participants will be able to see and
hear in that fashion.
AS for the party split itself, which, according to
a somewhat optimistic headline writer of the
Dally Nebraskan is "rocking the campus," there is
nothing at all strange about it. Natural, inevitable
and quite within the realm of understanding, the
realignment of factions need not call forth any ex
clamations if it is considered from the same height
which just served so well to transform the roars of
conflict into squeaks and groans.
Organizations of the delicacy of an undergrad
uate political faction, it must be remembered, are
built on a foundation of personal relationships. The
structure can thus be one of great strength, but at
the same time it carries the seeds of its own de
struction, for once original personal ties have been
superceded as they inevitably are in the factions
where delegates succeed each other from year to
year the structure, without a foundation, begins to
sway and finally falls.
That's what happened to the Blue Shirt and
Yellow Jacket ranks, and that's what will happen
ultimately in the ranks of the new parties.
Unfortunately the cycle of birth, degeneration
and decay is not as simple as the brief outline given,
for there are other factors Involved. A very strong
human aversion for change, combined with the
"tradition" to be glimpsed, or perhaps smelled, in
each individual fraternity, are potent forces in keep
ing an undergraduate political party together. There
is, too, fear and greed and pride, but they are pretty
well subordinated for the faction delegates are
usually too busy with all the thousand concerns of
the undergraduate to give any significant intensity
to these emotions.
QO the factions come, like the Progressives and
the Green Togas, but the factions also go, like
the Blue Shirts and the Yellow Jackets. And
always the university lumbers on about its business,
and everyone concerned manages to find a measure
of satisfaction, with or without the "political" con
fusion. Always, too, the Nebraskan lets these little
gems of wisdom about the whole business of elec
tions and ballyhoo spew from its lips. Somewhere
in the editorial to appear on election morning there
is always, too, an admonition to vote-as-you-please-but-vote.
And that is what we are now about. No
matter what your party affiliation, if you are among
those who have one, cast your ballets and enter into
the spirit of the mock heroics.
Get out and vote and wave flags and generate
oratory. Vote, vote, vote, vote we make it a song
and dance. Cast your ballots, reform the campus,
elect men, not platitudes: these are the slogans urg
ing to action. Vote, vote, vote, vote once more
VOTE.
But don't let anyone ask you what for; that's
not part of the game.

Dad's Day, Starting as Informal Outdoor Event,

every year, to bring students and

acquainted with the university, its

ELECTION.
Today is election. Two offices
are to be filled senior class presi
dent, junior class president The
candidates for Benior class presi
dent are Lee Young, Progressive
and George Sauer, Green Toga.
The candidates for junior class
president are Burton Marvin, Pro
gressive, and Tom Davies, Green
Toga.
That is the "when and who" of
the election. It is up to the stu
dents to do the rest. It is up to
the students who cast a vote to
determine the merits of the can
didates, and vote for the one he
deems best fitted for the office. If
he deems none of them qualified
for the office, or if he considers,
after proper investigation, that the
offices themselves are not worth
the trouble of electing anyone to
fill, then he may act on that de
cision. The point is that the each
student has a political responsi
bility, and if he is a good student
he will fulfill it, just as when he is
a citizen instead of a student he
will not be a good citizen of the
state unless he fulfills his political
responsibility to the state.
CONVOCATIONS COMING.
A series of convocations for Ag
college in which spontaneous in
terest rather than rigid require
ment would be the motive for at
tendance is the plan brought fore
ward at a recent meeting of the
a group of Ag college faculty and
students. A second consequence of
the meeting was the organization
of a new convocations committee
composed of both students and
faculty members.
Attending the meeting were
Miss Matilde Peters, Prof. H. C.
Filley, and Prof. H. E. Bradford.
The students present wrere Helen
Smrha Home Economics Associa
tion president, Norma Peterson,
Omicron Nu, Genevive Jeffries, Y.
W.C.A., Lynnette Gatten, Phi Up
silon Omicron, Arthur Peterson,
Alpha Zeta, John Locstcin, Ag
club's president and Roy Blazer,
Y.M.C.A.
The plan as evolrved calls for six
or eight convocations in the course
of the year instead of the usual
three or four. The programs
would not be made compulsory of
attendance, but the committee
would attempt to make them in
teresting enough that the students
would attend of their own will. It
was the opion of the group that
convocation programs featuring
discussions of travel, economics,
and politics by qualified speakers
would be interesting to all the stu
dents. They felt that cumulative
interest in the series of convoca
tion programs could be developed.
Officers elected to serve on the
new convocations committee are
Roy Blazer, president and Lyn
nette Gatten, secretary. The first
of the series of convocations will
be Nov. 2 in the activities building
at 4 P.M. The committee has re-
quested that Ag students keep on
the look out for further announce
ments as to the program.
The new convocations, if there
was one or more every month,
might be the answer to one of the
most perplexing problems of all
the campus clubs. It is all to
common for the club's officers to
secure an interesting speaker for
their meeting, and then be embar
rassed by having to get up and in
troduce him to half a dozen mem
bers. Why not let the convocations
committee furnish the program for
all, or at least a part of the meet
ings, by just calling a short busi
ness meeting to be immediately
after the convocation ? Then there
would be no danger of having no
one there to hear the speaker, the
club could have its program and bt
attending the convocation simul
taneously, and while they were all
there they could have a business
meeting. It would be possible, in
fact, for every club on the campus
to make the one convocation pro
gram do for all their meetings.
HE WALKED TO SCHOOL.
It's tough to be in school with
out a car, to live perhaps a dozen
blocks from the campus, or to
have to walk from one campus to
the other. Just how tough we
really have things now days is
easily seen from a nerrative ap
pearing in the Nebraska History
Magazine of a school teacher in the
pioneering days.
The man lived with his wife and
children near the Loup river. He
taught a small country school just
thirty-two miles away. His mode
of travel was to walk.
Friday afternoon as soon as
classes were over, he would hit out
in the direction of his home on the
Loup river. Twelve miles from the
school, and on his way home, was
a ranch house where he would stop
for the night Early next morning
he would be on his way the remain
ing twenty miles across the prairie
toward home.
Early Sunday afternoon he would
start back, walking most of the
night in order to be there for Mon
day morning classes.
At the ranch house on his way
home, he would always buy some
provisions to take to his 'family.
On one ocassion, according to the
magazine, he carried a sack of
flour the entire twenty miles from
the ranch to bis home.

POLITICAL PARTY
(Continued from Page l.i
with Barb leaders Sunday after
noon to talk the situation over.
The result was the formation of
the Progressive party, which
adopted as its slogan, "Progress
Not Politics."
Internal dissension within both
of the old factions was the appar
ent reason for the split. Blocs in
both groups had consistently se
cured or made strong bids for
nominations to the exclusion of a
number of dissatisfied houses.
Other reasons for the split will
probably make themselves evident
in the spring.
Filings Confused.
These two reorganizations re
sulted in a peculiar situation as
far as voting on candidates was
concerned. All three of the old
groups had filed candidates before
the new alignments were complet
ed. As a result several candidates
wii; be running under old faction
colors without any visible support.
And the new organizations will be
faced with the necessity of writing
in on the ballots the names of the
men they selected over the week
end. As the situation now stands, the
Green Togas have nominated
George Sauer for senior class pres
ident, and Tom Davies for junior
class president. Sauer filed as the
Elueshirt candidate, but Davies'
name will not be on the ballot.
Progressives Name Candidates.
The Progressives are backing
Lee Young for senior class presi
dent and Burton Marvin for junior
class president Both of these
names will appear on the ballot in
that Young filed as the Yellow
jacket nominee, and Marvin was
the Barb faction's selection.
Some difficulty may be expe
rienced by the Green Togas in get
ting their junior candidate's name
written on the ballot while an all
around confusion will probably re
sult from the profusion of unsup
ported names on the voting slips.
Comparison Difficult.
The actual numerical strength
of the two organizations Is hard to
compare. The Green Toga frater
nities outnumber the Progressive
fraternities in size and numbers,
but the Barb strength Is theoretic
ally more than enough to offset
this advantage. However the
Barbs are not as thoroughly or
ganized as the others. More can
be said tomorrow.
