Infallible?
MEBRASKA'S Senator Xorris ndded zest 1o
what promises to he a lively political battle
in the election of 1936 when he declared Tues
day that our national constitution should be
changed "wherever and whenever it is neces
sary to meet changing conditions of civiliza
tions." The senator's remarks appear significant
for more than one reason. In the first place
they present concisely one side of what may
develop into the paramount issue of the cam
paign of '36 if G. 0. P. leaders have their way.
But they are more significant from the
fact that they were not included on the Con
stitution Day program of September 18 when
Republicans and Democrats fired the opening
salvos of the impending presidential campaign.
It is interesting to consider the possible
reasons why Senator Norris remained silent on
Constitution Day which this year was observed
with a vim and vigor which called attention of
many to its existence for the first time. "Why
did he wait until the echoes of the 18th had
subsided before he gave voice to an opinion
which certainly was iterated many times on
that day?
It would appear that Senator Norris, keen
expert in political psychology, knew well what
he was doing. Long has he disregarded poli
tical lines in advocating that which he felt was
for the nation's welfare. Criticized severely
for party deviation, he nevertheless has with
stood successfully withering attacks from with
in his own party as well as from the opposition.
As a result he stands today as one of the most
influential figures in the national political
arena and one remarkably free from party ob
ligations. Senator Norris' silence on Constitution
Day was to be expected. Xorris refused to be
bamboozled into taking sides in what threat
ens to be a trumped-up party issue for the next
election even though one side represents a be
lief which he sincerely holds.
Norris is far too smart not to see thru the
political trickery which has conjured up phan
toms of our Constitution crumbling and collap
sing, leaving the nation in chaotic ruin, lie
knows that no one save some 'few scattered
handfuls of communists, has any intention of
scrapping or materially altering either the Con
stitution or the fundamental principles upon
which this nation was builded. And now, wtih
party oratory on the subject temporarily
hushed, he has explained his stand on the ques
tion, as follows:
"I think the making: of the constitution
was the greatest step by humanity in advanc
ing" civilization at that time, but conditions ex
isting then and now are entirely different. We
have to make laws and constitutions to meet
the aspirations of the people at the present.
"The man who invented the self-binder in
tended no disrespect to the man who invented
the sickle because it was necessary in invent
ing the self-binder to improve upon the work
of the fathers who used the sickle."
Norris leaves little doubt as to his belief
that additions and changes are necessary to
cope with the problems of a society and civili
zation that are daily becoming increasingly
complex. Experience stands in support cf tins
viewpoint.
The constitutional fathers themselves had
scarcely framed their precious and important
straightway to meet the exigencies of the day
Further amendment has been denied neces
sary in ten additional instances and with the
exception of prohibition, has become a success
ful part of our political system. Why the big
hullabaloo now that amendment is again sug
gested to solve problems which ar? so pressing
as to vitally concern practically every citizen
of the nation?
lie who envisions a return to the "K"1
old days" when economic and social difficul
ties seemed to take care of themselves in some
manner is more than optimistic. The world of
yesterday is definitely gone. Today we must
face openly the existence of new problems in
a changed society. Tomorrow we must expect
the impending birth of still additional difficul
ties as civilization advances into more of its
perplexing complexities.
It is not only to be expected, it is bound to be
that changes in governmental machinery and
functioning will be indispensable to the future
success of our civilization. Whether those
changes occur under a Democratic or Republic
an administration or that of some party still
unborn matters but little.
We must realize that, as Senator Norris in
dicates, certain phases of our Constitution are
outmoded. No provision whatsoever is made
for manv of today's needs. Fundamental prin
ciples which have guided the United States
thru more than 150 years to world leadership
need never be junked to correct the difficulty.
They must, however, grow and expand with
the nation.
Senator Norris' endorsement of the pro
cess by which this must occur, removes much
of the party stigma from the issue, and gives
the thinking American citizen a sound and un
biased basis from which to proceed in his treat
ment of it.

TO THE EDITOR:
Changing the manner in which the fra
ternities and sororities obtained their blocks of
football tickets enabled the student activities
office to present another ridiculous scheme for
undergraduate approval. Again, as is the usual
custom, it is the student who performs as the
"guinea pig" for the experimentally-afflicted
authorities.
At 8 o'clock Tuesday morning some twen
ty Greek organizations on the campus sent
their misguided pledges to the coliseum where
they, in shifts lasting from one-half an hour
to two and even three hours, managed very
ably to block traffic and create a most asinine
spectacle for a ten hour period.
Outsdiers to the university coming to pro
cure ducats for themselves must have been
amazed to see the intellectual manner in which
such programs were handled. Students sitting
along the wall smoking, playing cards, knitting
and reading books! And with so little prac
tice! No doubt the onlookers realized that it
was only after some considerable university
training'that students were capable of entering
into such patient slupor with so little thought
or resistance.
Just what the activities office had to gam
by the change in procedure is not clearly un
derstood. Perhaps they believed the return to
the capitalistic competitive system would stim
ulate enthusiasm enough in the various groups
to make them fully aware of the tremendous
bargain they were getting.
Organized houses voiced little or no dissen
tion on" the lot. drawing system. Therefore it
seems just a trifle absurd that for no reason an
apparently satisfactory plan for the caring of
block apportionment is cast, overboard. True
1he present program relieves the activities of
fice of the labor of holding a hat while the
various groups vie for places. Yc find it diffi
cult to believe however, that the office is put
to such inconvenience by the former method as
t necessitate the participation of 500 students
in securing seats for fifty houses.
It may be that Mr. Selleck enjoys these
visitors camping on his doorstep: it is quite cer
tain that the visitors do not. Sooner or later
the activities office will find out that Iheir
commercial viewpoint toward all Cornhusker
sports is not only making them unpopular with
the students, but the alumni as well. The stu
dents may not be able to exert much influence
over the mangers of their own activities. Imt
they certainly hope that the alumni will not sit
idly by. Just Plain Mad.
