Gathering
Momentum.
YY7HILE numerous student workers who be
lieve they are being treated unfairly by
certain employers in downtown cafes and
restaurants continue to voice their complaints
against unpaid overtime, working hours that
are too long, unpalatable meals, and other un
fair practices, the movement to do something
in their behalf is gaining momentum.
Wednesday the student council appoint
ed a special committee to contact both stu
dents and cafe managers to obtain the facts
of the case preparatory to action by the coun
cil. Also many unsolicited pledges of co-operation
in any attempt to remedy the situ,
tion have poured in from students and iac
ulty members. . .
Some little investigation by the Daily
Nebraskan together with the marked re
sponse occasioned by the opening shot m this
matter, lends us to believe that the student
council will find the preliminary charges
borne out in its investigation. In short, we
predict that the majority of eating establish
ments will be found to treat their student em
ployees fairly but that another group is ex
ploiting them on every hand.
Some student workers report that their
employers who were certainly among the of
fenders have already adopted a different at
titude toward their employees siince the issue
has been raised. On the surface this develop
ment appears favorable but it is just the sort
of tactics which can be very deceptive. The
improvement, where and if it has taken place,
may be but a temporary thing which will re
vert to the former unfair practices as soon as
the matter subsides in student and adminis
trative minds.
To make certain that this movement
shall not fail for this reason or for any other,
the Nebraskan feels that a special agency,
either under administration or student coun
cil jurisdiction should be set up to provide
at all times a channel thru which students
may register their complaints and work as a
unit in abolishing unfair methods by employ
ers, in any type of business. As things now
stand, there is no one place to which a stu
dent can turn to voice his complaint and
league himself with others who share his pre
dicament in an effort to. secure better treat
ment. The student employment bureau could
probably handle this function easily and ca
pably if given adminstrative sanction or ap
proval to do so. Or, the student council could
perform this function thru a standing com
mitte with cooperation from the administra
tion. All that seems necessary is that either
the administration or the council, or both
take the initiative in setting up a suitable
agency for this student need.
Like today's pulse contributor, the Ne
braskan is inclined to discount the threat of
wholesale dismissal of student employees by
many cafes or restaurants for we share the
belief that it is the offenders who, being
guilty and therefore afraid, are making such
threats. We feel that this is one of the more
important issues confronting the student
body in its various fields of interest and as
such deserves serious and unbiased considera
tion by cafe managers and operators as Mell
as by students. The Nebraskan will cooper
ate to the fullest extent in seeking to make
the relationship between Lincoln business
men and students the most pleasant and
equitable possible.
Jealousy
At Work.
Some few days ago transfer of the Big
Six swimming meet to Kansas City from Ne
braska where it has usually been held tempt
ed the Nebraskan to comment on the sudden
change as we sensed a "nigger in the wood
pile." A decision to postpone our opinion
has proved profitable for the causes seem to
have come to light.
Far be it from the Nebraskan to cast re
flections on other members of the Big Six but
it would seem that most of them are more or
less jealous of Nebraska. Now jealousy is a
very terrible thing, indeed, and it makes peo
ple do things they would not ordinarily do.
And almost every school in the conference
had something to be jealous of Nebraska
about. So here at the Big Six meeting was a
nice chance to do something about it.
Iowa State, especially ii jealous because
Nebraska has risen high in swimming. Kan
as is usually jealous or envious about any
thing it cn find at Nebraska to be that way
about. So Iowa State found a ready ally
there. And other Big Six schools did not
need a lot of coaxing to follow suit. As a re
sult the conference swimming meet took a
sudden change in location.
Now, however, it seems that plans are
under way to bring the indoor track meet to
Kansas City next year and keep it there per
manently after special indoor track facilities
are built. This created a terrible furore at
Missouri wMch enjoys sponsoring this as a
rule. So now Kansas City doesn't look so
good to Missouri.
We are wondering what will be the re
action of Iowa State if someone in the confer
ence s.iould get the idea of moving the wrestl
ing championships to Kansas City or some
where "more central." The present move
ment towards centralization might bring this
development.
So far as the Nebraskan is concerned, we
do not care where conference championship
meets are held, except that we agree with
sports columnist Cy Sherman that they
should be held at conference schools. Past
conference meets were held here, according
to our belief, because Nebraska had the best
facilities to offer. If some other Big Six
school has equal or better facilities conduc
ive to good performances, we stand strongly
behind the idea that location of the champ
ionships should be rotated among conference
members.
It casts an odious smell over the -whole
conference, however, when petty jealousies
such as we sense in the recent Big Six meet
ing, are 'lrrmitted to dictate conference decisions.

Where There
Smoke
TO THE EDITOR:
I am very much pleased to think that at
last someone is going after this "raw deal'
that students are getting in a number of cafes
around the city. The smoke raised by your
recent student pulse contributors certainly
had reasons for its origin for right now I
know a number of students who are being
treated very unfairly, despite the denials
which you mention being made.
For instance, the night of the Mortar
Board party one of my friends who works
in a cafe worked several hours overtime and
didn't get paid for it. Then, having an 8
o'clock class Saturday morning, he waited
until it was dismissed to come after his break
fast at the cafe and was then informed it was
too late as the help must get its breakfast be
fore a certain time. No consideration was
made of the overtime.
Now a lot of students want to go home
Christmas. Some employers are being very
arbitrary in refusing to permit thereto even
substitute someone for them during Xmas va
cation. And such a privilege was denied to
one boy I know who hasn't had a day off yet
this year.
I believe that a boycott of these offend
ing cafes is what is needed to bring justice
to student workers. I realize that most cafes
and restaurants are treating students fairly
but something should be done about those
that aren't. They talk about wholesale fir
ing of students but in my opinion that sort
of bunk comes only from those managers who
have a guilty conscience. I hope someone
organizes something to put them where they
belong, ami I for one am willing to help.

CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Minority Will Rule
Until More Citizens Vote.
As the presidential campaigns open for
the 193(5 national election, businessmen, la
borers, petty politicians, and the unemployed
thousands find a new topic for debate. Each
defends his own candidate, as well as his so
lution for ending the depression if he were
given the power. But when the election day
rolls around next November, no more than 40
per cent of the registered voters of the nation
will bother to go to the polls and vote.
Those who shout the loudest aicninst the
existing order are the ones who refuse to do
their part by casting a ballot. The Ameri
can citizen, envied by other peoples for the
power of voting which he holds, becomes the
most unconcerned and lazy individual on
election day. "What good will my vote do
against that of 40 million others!" is the
point of view of many. Unfortunately, this
is the viewpoint of over fifty million regis
tered citizens who fail to exercise their right
to vote.
As lonsr as over half of the voters re
fuse to vote, a small band of citizens will
continue to control and run the nation. Aft
er election arguments will do no good in
changing results of the vote. It is the duty
of every citizen to vote; he was given that
right for a purpose. Women fought for dec
ades to gain the franchise. Since they have
had the privilege they have done no better
than the men in voting as a mass.
How long will 25 or 30 million voters
form a majority of presidential votes? Am
erica has done much for democracy, but her
task can never be completed until every eligi
ble voter exercises his privilege of voting.

No Peace
Prize.
Just an item in the news that got little
consideration amid the bigger news of oil
sanctions that might mean war and the ac
counts of skirmishes in far-off Ethiopia was
the following from Oslo. Norway, dated No
vember 19: "The Nobel committee has de
cided that no peace prize will be awarded this
year."
Thus for the first time since the prize
was offered the committee hat decided that
no person in the world it entitled to an award
that stamps him as an outstanding worker in
the cause of peace. As we survey the situa
tion we can say that the committee is prob
ably right.
If ever the opportunity arose for a man
to cinch the Nobel Prize, it should hare come
during the last Geneva conferences when the
League met in an express attempt to ward
off the impending war between Italy and
Ethiopia. But none came out of the crowd to
claim the honor.
Britains will probably, say that Sir An
thony Edeu distinguished himself and is eligi
ble for the award. Doubtless, Sir Anthony
was interested in peace but only because war
meant British embarrassment. That was why
Sir Anthony Eden tried to find a compromise.
French might say that Premier Laval is
qualified because he tried long and hard to
find a way out of the controversy. Why did
Laval concern himself so much with the cause
of peace! Because France is afraid that
Italy will finally dominate the Mediterranean
if Mussolini is allowed to go ahead and she
knows that a successful ,war in Africa will
strengthen II Duce's position. Besides
France n,eeds Britain at her Bide now that the
German menace is increasing. That was why
Laval fought for peace. t
Our own Secretary Hull might come
closer than anyone else to deserving the prize.
But Secretary Hull may not enter Into the in
ternational arena. He has his hands full try
ing to keep Americans from embroiling their
country in the fight. He is busy trying to re
vive foreign trade. What time does he have
to devote to promoting amicable relations
outside of that he spends trying to keep Am
erica at peace with the world?
So it goes. In all this year of strife and
uneasiness not one man has stepped forward
to fight for peace 'who has been fighting be
cause he loved peace and wished to see it
preserved. No wonder the world seems head
ed again toward Armageddon.
