Election Day
Once More.
T TN1VERSITY men will go to the polls today to
select a Nebraska Sweetheart, whose identity
will remain unknown until her formal presentation
at the Kosmct Klub annual fall revue, November 25.
Filings for the position, which closed Friday after
noon, revealed one of the largest number of women
candidates filing in the past few years, seven
women having entered the race.
Today's election represents the third addition to
the long list of the Nebraska campus' royalty to be
elected this fall by students of the university, the
Queen of the Farmer's Formal and the Honorary
Colonel having been previously elected. As students
march to the polls to perpetuate the long and suc
cessful lino of Nebraska Sweethearts, there occurs,
at the same time, a continuation of an unsuccessful
and sadly overworked idea.
University students have long been the target
for "queen" and "sweetheart" elections, and all the
numerous additions have built up a superfluous roy
alty none too representative of the student body.
Taking advantage of what might once have been
a good Idea, student organizations have outworn
the real effectiveness that might come as a result
of true student expression.
Too frequent calling of students to the polls
to elect university women to positions of little sig
nificance has resulted in a waning enthusiasm, even
to the point of total indifference or distinterest in
some cases. Certainly student patience has been
taxed severely, what with the innumerable queens
and goddesses who make their yearly advent upon
the campus. Perhaps campus-wide interest might
be obtained by other and less time-worn methods.
Until other methods are agreed upon, however,
there remains but one thing to do get out the vote
ard help to make today's Sweetheart as represen
tative as possible. And should your favorite be
defeated, don't grieve for there'll be another election
along.
Decorating
The Decorations.
iv ITH the serious business ot having a good time
" in the Homecoming fashion disposed of for an
other year, the campus can turn tts attention again
to continuing the ordinary course of university life.
But before the memory of Homecoming has faded,
and now that the "gaiety" is not as dominant, an
outstanding feature of the celebration remains im
portantthat is the party itself, in the transformed
coliseum.
Advance glimpses of the new drapes, before
they had- been seen in actual use, had given rise
to considerable favorable comment, and Saturday
night those advance predictions were not belied. The
coliseum was transformed it was an entirely new
place, thoroly in keeping with its use as a ball
room. There remains, perhaps, minor improvements to
be made, but they will take time, and further contri
butions to the decorations fund. For the present
the fact that the decorations hive more than justi
fied all their early eeomiums is the outstanding
lactor. The coliseum is no longer the barren ex
panse of the pre-decoratic.n days, and a party has
been held in the new ballroom. Student activities,
more specifically the Innocents society, which spon
sored the campaign for funds, have achieved a not
able success. And sharing in that success is the
man without whose active cooperation the decora
tions could not have been otained Director of Ac
tivities Selleck. His work should be appreciated by
the campus.
Laurels, indeed, are very much in order, lor at
last the long-standing deficiency of the campus has
been removed. There is now a place for all-university
social events, and it is, furthermore, an extreme
ly satisfactory and presentable place. The campus
has a ballroom.
Feverish
Work.
A LIVE to their responsibilities Lincoln ministers
have gone on record as opposing the attempt
to get a new armory on the campus. Passage of
a resolution to that effect by the Lincoln Ministerial
association adds to the rapidly growing list of ob
jectors to the movement that has seen a nucleus of
dissenters on the campus gain support thruout the
city and the state.
The campaign, to be sure, has not been waged
without considerable heckling. Antagonism from
within and without the limits of the campus com
mittee has slowed work of those who have been
endeavoring to present a case designed to block
the federal grant. A great deal of work has been
done, however, and the members of the peace com
mittee deserve commendation fcr their efforts.
All this is not to say that their task has been
successfully completed, for it is only the crucial
stage of the opposition that has been reached. If
there has been pressure, it must be increased; if
there has been speed it must be doubled, for it is
uncertain now that the administrative committee
has gone to Washington how much time for oppo
sition may be left.
Work, you objectors, you must act now!

Striking Farmers.
TO THE EDITOR:
"Nebraska Farm Picket Is Kill
ed." "Iowa Pickets Use P.ail Ties
To Blockade Roads." ' Farm Situ
ation Threatening." So run the
scareheads on the latest newspa
pers. Already the farm strike has
left death as well as destruction in
its wake. What good are such
high-handed tactics going to do
anyone? Where a situation is
dominated by mob violence no
good can result. When one class
of men starts interfering with the
fundamental rights of others trou
ble is bound to be the outcome. It
has been generally agreed that
strikes defeat their own aims, that
thry hurt everyone and benefit no
one.
Is the farmer any worse off than
anyone else? Usually he has
enough to eat if nothing else. The
farmer, the laborer, the man with
the white collar job and the capi
talist are a four horse team that
should be pulling together to get
the rational recovery wagon out of
the ruts. This is no time for one
of the horses to start kicking and
biting its mates. Nothing can be
accomplished if the farmer will not
aid the recovery program to the
best of his ability.
Nothing is ever accomplished by
violence. The only sane way to iron
out difficulties is by arguing them
out over the table" of debate, not
by attempting to silence them by
clubs in a hand to hand dispute.
Why can't the farmers talk over
their problems Intelligentlv?

If there is any dirty politics, it is ;
admittedly kept very well con-1
eealed. There is seldom if ever
any definite thing that the gripers
can lay hands on as evidence. But
if campus politics is really the lily
white organization it is supposed
to be. then why are its supporters
so loud and so ready and so fre
quent in its defense? Are they
really sincere, or are they merely
throwing up a smoke-screen to
hide the true facts?
There are two sides to any situ
ation and there are certainly two
sides to this, and plenty of room
for argument. And plenty of ar
gument there seems to be. The
gripers take every opportunity to
air their grievances on campus pol
itics, and there are others just as
ready to defend the organization.
It's getting awfully tiresome, hear
ing the same old arguments hashed
and re-hashed. Why don't the
gripers either take some definite
steps to clean tip the politics they
consider so unfair, or else stop
griping? H. K.
-4g College
By Carlyle (lndLin
The Final Word.
There seems to be an increasing
number of individuals who give
vent to their pet peeve by griping
audibly or in editorial form as to
the difference in the amount of
"push" and the amount of "pull"
that It takes to get places on the
campus. In almost every class
room, the argument inevitably
arises as to whether it is political
pull or personal push that really
gets a person to the top of the ac
tivities heap. Personally, it doesn't
make a bit of difference which it
is, but this continual griping and
argument is getting awfully bor
ing. Have the gripers any real basis
for their point of vi''.v,'or are they
merely disgruntled because they
thought they could come to college
and be Nebraska sweetheart or
president of the Innocents? Have
they any real proof that it is dirty
politics that has kept them from
becoming prominent? Or are they
ashamed to admit that it might he
a lack of personal ability, and ao
speak of "dirty politics" as a
means of airing their grudge and
blaming their failure on something
else?
On the other hand, the people
who are "in." are just as vocifer
ous in defending campus politics
a those on the outside are In de
nouncing them. The Mortar Board
or Innocent will hasten to assure
you that it is their own hard work
which has won them their prom
inence. "Of course, maybe the
THIS BUSINESS OF BARBS.
Tonight in Social Sc ience audi
torium is the "mass meeting" of
all P.arb men. Their motive, ac
cording to Chairman Wilber Kriek
son. is to set up permanent organ
ization for this year, hear Profes
sor Lantz explain the advantages
of membership in P.arb clubs. nd
work out an athletics program.
It is probably safe to sav that
in no other college is the propor
tion of Barb men as large as it is
at Ag. And if that is true, then it
is reasonable to suppose that Ag
men will have an Important part in
most any barb activity. Doubtless
a good representation of Ag stu- i
d,-nts will attend the mass meeting t
tonight. j
Tins business of barb organiza-
tions is perennial on the campus.
l-.very y-ar one hears about how
the oarbs had ought to organize,
how unai't.liated men could get
somewhere in college activities if
organized barbs were backing
thrm, how il barbs would only pull
together they could put the per
sons they wanti'd Into campus of
fices. And all that is true if . . .
No doubt unaffiliated men could
control offices and important posi
tions if they would organize, hut
they won't. That is. they won't
stic k together for political reasons.
Fraternity men, in their attempts
to control college politics, and get
their members into offices, have a
common purpose: they hope to en
hance the prestige of the "house,"
for from that they in turn draw
their own prestige.
But barbs have no such reason
for concerted action. No one stands
to gain but the one who gets the
office or position. In the Greek
house every man stands to gain
when a brother wins an office rr
position. It is because of this mu
tual gain that Greek men will pull
to;etner: and it is for lack of It
that barb men will not pull to
gether. So the talk one hears about what
the barbs could do politically If
they would only organize can be
pretty heavily discredited. But that
need be no death blow to barb
clubs. Twa reasons for the meet
ing tonight are permanent organ
ization of small clubs, and to work
our. a sports program. In such ac
tivity's as these lies excellent rea
son for barb clubs. .
Sm.ill barb clubs ot ten men
each have a representative on the
Inter-Club Council. According to
Chairman Enckson, there will be
perhaps twenty-five such small
clubs on the campus. The social
usefulness of these small clubs is
not to be overlooked. Especially is
that true where the clubs involve
membership on both campi.
The numoer of Ag students who
go through college and get to know
practically no one in other col
leges is far too large. One definite
value in these barb clubs is that
they pave the way for a number
of Ag college men to get acquaint
ed with nioie students in other
colleges.
Additional value and for the
same reason lies in the barbs'
sports program. They will enable
many Ag students to meet a num
ber of men in other colleges and
perhaps form an occasional lasting
friendship. The political possibility
in barb organization is small, in
deed; but the social possibility is
large.
TOUGH GOING.
The Coll-Agri-Fun committee is
having a hard time getting started.
After the Coll-Agri-Fun show last
year Ag faculty and upperclass
men will remember it as perhaps
the best in the show's history, and
freshmen will be hearing more
about it as the second semester
approaches the committee met,
laid some definite plans for the
presentation this year, and effect
ed some major revisions in the or
ganiza t ion constitution.
All lh business at that Coll-Agri-Fun
committer meeting was
written into the minutes, but
strangely enough the constitution
al amendments were never written
mlo the constitution. Now a prob
lem arises that calls for the min
utes of the meeting, and they are
nowhere to be found.
Mark Hackman and Klmer Parli,
the two men elected on the Coll-Agri-Fun
committee last spring
are neither one back in school.
Two more men have to be selected,
and without the minutes of that
last meeting no one knows whether
those two men have to be elected
or whether they can be appointed
by the surviving members of the
board. And the minutes of the
meeting are not to be found.
Dorothy Luchsinger. now hold
ing an institutional management
position in California, was secre
tary last year. Committee mem
ber's have written her to find out
the fate of those minutes. If the
minutes of that meeting last year
can be found, tnen the vacancies
on the committee can be filled, and
the Coll-Agri-Fur an get going.
It is early in the year yet, how
ever, and there is plenty of time
for the group to get to wo:!:. It ia
a good sign to see them alive and
putting their machine in shape
well in advance of time to go to
work on the show.
NOTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE.
Few students, 1 venture, remem
ber a day like last Ejnday. Mid
November, a time when snowballs
should be flying, and in the morn
ing It was as warm as well, at
least as warm aa September. Then
the wind came up, got stronger

stayed high. What we bad was an

Leagues for the development of
this or the prevention of that arc
by no means unknown at Yale. The
latest development in this line,
however, has not originated at
New Haven, but on the rurally
peaceful Princeton campus. A
Student League for the Non-Piec-ognition
of Soviet Puissia last week
announced its naissance in a letter
to the Daily Princetonian.
This, indeed, is something of a
novelty, for student leagues are
prone to have objectives which the
safe and sane graduate of the class
of 1SI9 regards as uncomfortably
liberal, if not dangerously radical.
But the most roc k-ribbed' conserv
ative could not take exception to
the ideals of the latest Princeton
phenomenon.
The league's basic objection to
Russian recognition is that the
soviet government is "controlled
by the third international whose
avowed purpose is" to undermine
the capitalistic system. By way
of supplement, it denounces Hus
sion statesmen foi their "dis
honesty," and urges that mere
promises to refrain from propa
ganda would mean nothing. In
short, "it is absolutely insane to
grant diplomatic immunity to the
accnts of that country and thus
allow them to continue unhamp
ered in their purpose to overthrow
the existing institutions in this
country."
Yale, unfortunately, has not
been subjected to any such 100
percent Americanism as a result of
Maxim Litvinoff's embarkation for
western shores. We shall gladly
let Princeton cope with the flag
wavers, the protectors of Amer
ican principles, the hysterical pa
triots. And, at the same time, the
News rejoices that its Princeton
colleagues has been blessed with
the boon that all editors pray for
a raging battle in the communi
cations columns. The Yale Daily
Dead leaves whirled and hissed.

Inglis Calls for Action.
In the princ ipal address of the
afternoon, P.ev. Fjrvine R. Inglis
asserted that action for peace is
imperative. "Mere talking about
peace accomplishes nothing," he
claimed, "Signing petitions is not
enough. You must demand peace
and work for it. It is necessary to
work hard, because we pacifists
don't seem able to work as skill
fully as the militarists. Sincerity
of belief in the cause for peace is
essential. I believe the committee
Is started in the right direction and
should be encouraged."
Workinc for peace does not de
note a lack of patriotism, accord
ing to Inglis. He himself is will
ing to do anything for his govern
ment but "kill people." The ma
jority of persons do not want war,
differing only as to the methods
of obtaining peace. There is, how
ever, a sinister group of arms
manufacturers who threaten world
peace. This ring must be broken
up for the war which will result if
their propogandistic activities are
s 'ceessful will mean the ruin of
even mighty Britain.
