Express
in or. offni-f. in stimulate student inter
est in issues of vital importance to the country
at large, the Daily Nebraskan today launches
a poll of student opinion on major political
questions. Conducted in classrooms, thru the
co-operation of department heads and instruc
tors, the balloting is expected to give a
cross-section of student sentiment on problems
which many will be called upon to help settle
in the next national election.
Feeling that American colleges and uni
versities should be producing men and women
more capable of deciding questions which
arise in national government than perhaps
any other group of citizens, we take this
means of introducing to the campus at large
the major political Issues of the day.
During the next few weeks, the Nebraskan
will present fair and unbiased discussions of
these projects in n series of articles written by
authorities on political science. A fundamental
understanding of governmental activity is ab
solutely necessary to an intelligent use of the
ballot and the ultimate betterment of our na
tional political system
The Nebraskan earnestly pleads that
everyone be sincere in his participation in the
poll. Everyone vote and vote but once, in order
that an accurate estimation of political trends
on the campus may be made. Political pre
judices must be cast aside if the balloting on
these major issues is to be a fair reflection of
the merits in student opinion.
STUDENT PULSE
Brief, concise contributions psrtlnent to 0I

Look Beyond
The Campus!
TO THE EDITOR:
"THERE is a tendency for the attendants of a
university to become so busied in academic
pursuits, so occupied with campus problems
and affairs that they fail to acquire a know
ledge and union with the great outer world,
the world that comprises all the other smaller
wArlia tW. niAn ret.. and into which they all
must go. College should be the high pinnacle
where youth stands ami Burveys an xnai nns
gone before and in the light cf wisdom gained
fmiii iYa cnontnplo at thft Tnst. sees all that is
present now in the world, and in his mind s
eye the world that is to come.
He faces a new world, as yet an unmade
world. He stands like the pioneers who scaled
the Rocky mountains and saw before them
great vistas of raw, unfinished land, land that
they with their knowledge and experiences of
the older east were to mold and change and
build into a new country vibrant with their
ideals and visions.
College is the grade to scale, the pull that
calls for strength and push, but with the view
growing lovelier and greater with every step
providing the one who climbs is not so en
grossed with the pebbles and the path that he
fails to see the shades and sunlight on the
plains and hills below, fails to comprehend
the meaning and power of the great panorama
slowly coming before his eyes.
This understanding can come in no other
way than thru a contact with the moving, liv
ing world itself, from a curious interest in
nhnrt. in attain a wide, clear view
v t m .. ,
the student must constantly keep in touch
with the world of fact and reality ana noi do
befogged by a too dominant campus life.

A Break.
TO THE EDITOR :
A vacation is a rest or time of leisure, a

dictionary. Schools every year provide vaca
tion periods to give the students a chance to
go home and do the things they've wanted to
do, but haven't had time'to do during school.
Competent educators realize a student's need
to "get away from it all" occasionally and be
mentallv and physically occupied with differ-
ent kinds of things in a auierem auuusjjncic.

and rode the bus back to Lincoln.
In an earlier report to officers,

forcibly taken him to Des Moines

A
ROUND
AND
BOUT
With
Sarah Louise Meyer
The past seven days have been
Old Home Week for drama in these
parts. Opportunities to see theater
that is theater fairly knocked
doors down. There was Cornell
and her Juliet, well attended by
speech students, school teachere,
society lights, and a few stray
sorority folk.
There was a doubly wonderful
"Crime and Punishment" in
French (out of which D. U.'s
emerged cursing mis-spent shekels,
and in English (from which Betas
Whltaker and Walquist exited
badly beaten down).
There was Carpenter and "The
Lake," which even Robbie Laur
ens reserved for a better than wa
tery grave.
There was Yvonne Pnntemps in
a "trea changee" but very moving
"La Dame Aux Camellas."
All this there was, easily "to
be had." Yet the line before "Miss
America's" show place is blocks
long, with front row seats at a
premium.
One of the best stories of
Christmas shopping thus far
concerns the pajama buying of
Margaret Collins. Having at last
selected two very fancy pairs of
the masculine sleeping attire,'
she suddenly halted the clerk in
his wrapping with, "Wait a
Minute! I want to eee how they
work."
Of all revenges in the world, I

It took the Christmas lights
atop the state house to remind
us of the ever ill-used Sower,
bane of our high school literary
days. Which of course recalled
Dean Henzlik's bit of a tale about
the huge statute, which he swears
is true.
The Bancroft teacher had de
scribed at length the Capitol build
ing, and dwelt especially on the
symbol topping the tower. To fur
ther impress the matter in the
minds of her pupils and to ascer
tain how much of the material
they had absorbed to draw the
state house complete.
One youngster produced a very
fine picture, which showed all ex
ternal features of the building
save for a bright red spot on the
tower where the Sower should
have been. When questioned he
stated simply, "I thought it would
be better to put mercuroenrome
on the sore."
