Lest We Forget
Our Purpose.
On this traditional day, we have all broken
away from the routine to which we have be
come accustomed. It has afforded us an op
portunitv to join for a complete day of enjoy
able acfivitv Today of all days, we teel
the strength of those ties which bind us to
this, our University. And to the practical man,
there comes at once the question, are these
transient thoughts which live today and die
tomorrow? I think that to the vast multi
tude of those who have had the experience of
attending this university, recalling: that ex
perience will always brinp happy memories.
"We are told, and probably rightly so, that
tha.se are the happiest years of our lives
We can pick out any one phase of our uni
versity life, and point to the desirable results
of which it is productive. Or, we can look at
university life in its composite sense, and do
the same thin?. But we are all too prone to
forsret our system has certain shortcomings.
Tf we could only bring: ourselves to the real
ization that it has certain shortcomings, and
determine what they are. then we have ad
vanced half of the distance toward remedying
them.
The shortcoming of our system which I
have in mind is simply this. While we are at
tending the university, we are kept so busy
attending the university, that we have a ten
dency to forget that we have other concerns.
As we live our lives, in this little world of our
own, we have a tendency to forget that when
our collegiate world comes to an end. we must
face a world of reality Fundamentally, it
appears to me that our purpose, the purpose
of ihe university, should be to so arrange our
university lives, that when we are thru we
may be better prepared to step from our world
of theory into the world of intense practi
cality Conceding then, that we do have this short
coming, how may we overcome it? To me, the
answer that is most fitting at this particular
time is the answer sutreested by the fact that
he world is rapidly changing and producing
a need for a cerain kind of man. It appears to
me to be obvious that there is one type of man
for which there is a marked need and that
man is a man who is a leader and above all. a
leader with character The young people
must realize that the thines that are happening
today in the realm of .science, in the arts and
in the sphere of government will affect those
whom we now consider to be our leaders onlv
an infinitesimal amount of comparison with
the effect that they will have upon the young
people of today.
This being the case, it seems only fair that
a University should be put to this test. Is it so
operated, that its men and women arc better
nrcnared to solve the problems with which
youth is confronted, and actively become
leaders in the solution? A fair application of
this test veauircs that we be a little more spe
cii'ic. It requires that we pick out one of the
problems with which we are laced, ana at
tempt to determine how we are preparing our
selves to face it. I know of no other topic
which is more timely nt this particular time
than the matter of government or politics
A brief analysis will suffice to determine
what our problem is. We are all conscious of
the fact, that within the past few years we
have seen a tremendous increase in govern
mental activities I bring this problem a lit
tle closer to home, by reminding you that at
the recent Nebraska primary election, the peo
pie of the state apparently gave their approval
to that much talked of "Townsend" plan, by
nominating a man who had openly endorsed
that scheme. That the adoption of such a plan
would appreciably increase the taxes which
you and 1 will be forced to pay in a few years
is beyond dispute. It is for reasons such as
these that I say the problems of government
are the problems of youth.
And now you ask, what can the University
do about this situation. The answer must de
pend upon an analogy. It is the analogy im
perfect as it may be, between national and
campus polities. In this connection, I may be
accused of confusing, government with poli
tics. I think that we all have a tendency to do
that, yet, under our republican form of gov
ernment, politics, and the exertion of govern
mental authority, are so interlocked, that it is
seemingly impossible to divorce one from the
other
Briefly stated, my objections to the now ex
ist ing system are these: Campus politics are
characterized by vote trading, by promises of
support which few intend to keep, and by
ciever scheming with a view of getting certain
men into office. We could overlook this, if the
choosing of the candidates was carried on on
some basis whereby men of merit and ability
would be chosen. But rather we choose our
candidates entirely on the basis of Greek or po
litical affiliation without any regard for their
fitness to occupy the office to which we elect
them.
I am not saying that all the campus offices
are filled by men who are not deserving of
them, but I will venture to say that when you
find such a circumstance it has come about
more from luck than because of the efficient
handling and logical organization of the se
lection For what are you training men by
such a system? For having had this experi
ence are they better able to help as leaders in
the solution of the problems of which I have
previously spoken
And now you ask what changes would
you suggest? Time does not permit me to in
dulge in a discussion of a complete plan for
reorganization of the mechanics of our elec
tions. I am not even sure that that is neces
sary. To get at the crux of our difficulty what
we must do first is realize that the purpose of
having any political organizations on our cam
pus is to train students in the selection of cap
able leaders. When we do this, and when we
convince our politicians that that is their
function, then and only then will we be able
to justify the continued existence of political
groups upon our campus. If we resign our
selves to the conviction that this is impossible
then we must accept the fact that the Uni
yersiy must in this respect at least continue to
fail in its purpose which is the preparation
of men and women to face life's problems.
And we must also accept the fact that we have
allowed our campus world to become so im
portant by reason of its enticing insignificance,
that as it swiftly spins in space, much of its
spinning is in vain. JOHN WILSON Ivy
