'Re-Examine Your
Fundamental Truths.'
The reformers are at it again.
Yesterday, an invest igatory committee of the
Student Council submitted two reports for action
by the campus' supreme governing assembly, both
intended to take politics out of student elections.
The Nebraskan does not question their sincerity,
but it does wish to inquire into their methods of
reform.
The first, a plan for complete "abolition'' of
political combines, provides for election of Student
Council members "on an entirely independent
basis." Student factions are "absolutely prohibited",
and "a finding: of collusion by a combination sub
sequent to the actual election shall make the can
didate so elected prima facie ineligible to hold any
. . office during the duration of his collegiate
career."
The purpose of student government is three
fold: to enable students to enjoy control of their
own organizations for their own welfare, to give
them an opportunity to practice self-discipline,
and to provide a field for men of merit to exer
ch! leadership. It is the third purpose at which
the proposal strikes. Students are not being
elected because of merit, or abilities as leaders,
but by political combines centering around fra
ternity alliances. Abolish factions, they argue,
and the men of merit, filing as independent can
didates, will be elected.
Such an argument is shot with inconsistencies,
and based on no practical experience. There is no
better parallel for comparison than women'3 activi
ties, from which politics was supposedly purged.
Yet the condition that no agreements have been
publicized does not alter the fact that nine sorori
ties refused to file nominees for From Girl this
year, regardless of the "merit" any of their mem
bers might possess for the office. And to believe
that an edict cf the Student Council will prevent
combines among fraternities is nothing short of
ludicrous.
Suppose factions were abolished; imagine the
Utopian dream of no alignments, each candidate
an independent. What would result? Elections
would become popularity contests for the athlete
with the most letters, or the ladies' man with
most dates, neither of which contribute essen
tially to the candidate's ability to serve in office.
Without backing, or previous sifting by parties,
voters wculd have little knowledge as to whether
one out of 6.536 students would be better fitted
for office than another,
The second plan, a modification of the first, is
harmless. It proposes to remove party names from
the ballot, as was done in the fall election, with
tew startling effects. It would also abolish thf

To the Ed. tor:
From the friendly letters ap
pcuring in the Student Pulse of
yesterdays Nebraskan. I learn a
rurnbrr of surprising things:
1. Webster'c dictionary is the
ultimate authority in the defini
tion of terms. ( Perhaps the de
partment of philosophy should
bit Informed of this innovation.;
2. That the person who wrote
the review of the Players' most
recent effort, namely, myself, is
"offensive, insultingly insolent,
and vulgar."
.3. He is dishonest, a crook, a
reporter, and a little boy.
4. That the patrons Monday
night were forced to reach fer
r.ankerchief after handkerchief
in a vain effort to ttiflc their
heart-rendin sobs.
5. That tne reviewer did not
read the right play, perhaps he
didn't read any play, and that
it is entirely possible that he
cannot read at all.
6. That a certain Mr. Max
Could, a self styled "martyr"
and "humble student of tho
speech department'' thinks that
the play was swell, that the
critic is not a "critic" and just
ly deserve; a Bronx chjer.
7. That everyone in the au
dience except the reviewer im
mediately presented Miss Peter
ton with a gardenia at the final
curtain.
8. That my prose is at the
same time "vivacious" and
M rank."
9. That "Lost Horizons" is not
"Lost Horizons" at all, but an
other play by the frame author
bearing the same name. Th;t
new play is called "Lost Hori
zons" and is not to be confused
with the old play by tha tame
name, by the same playwright,
with most of the same char
acters, much of the tame dia
logue and many identical scenes.
Thus it is easy to see that it
is an entirely different play.

part j preference ticket, which has served as the
basis for the system of proportional representation.
When Dr. Fellman, then a member of the Stu
dent Council, submitted his plan of proportional
representation for factions some years ago, he evi
dently forgot to account for the greater interest in
student elections that followed. For 125 votes, or
a major fraction thereof, the party won the right
of one seat in the Council. In the. election last
spring, five sophomore candidates running for two
Council seats all polled over the required total. Two
were seated. Rather than change an arbitrary
number, varying it in proportion to the total vote,
they propose to throw the whole thing out. We
admit its value, but won't quarrel about it now.
The rest of the plan provokes the same objections
as the first.
Dr. Stoke (evidently replacing the World Al
manac for references in these columns) has a fa
vorite tale about a discussion on Mount Olympus
that involves Thomas Jefferson, William Jennings
Bryan, and Socrates, These gentlemen, it seems,
reached an impasse in their search for freedom of
s-peech, thought, and truth. Whereupon Socrates
advised his friends to re-examine their "fundamen
tal truths". The Nebraskan, pinch-hitting for Pr.
Stoke anil Socrates, would advise the investigating
committee of the Student Council to "get back to
the root of things ".
As long as student offices are filled at elec
tions by an unorganized electorate unorganized
in the sense of the associations of student gov
ernment that characterize eastern and west-coast
campuses factions will continue to dominate
voting.
Student Council members now elected from
most of the professional colleges admittedly don't
represent the group from which they were
chosen. They represent, rather, the most promi
nent man of that college engaged in general extra-curricular
activities.
The system used in hundreds of American uni
versities provides thaf the president, or a repre
sentative of the governing board of their college
shall sit on the council. The president of the En
gineers Executive board, for example, would be
better fitted to promote the interests of his college
than a student selected at random in faction meet
ing. Such a plan would not only provide true repre
sentation, but would permit the delegate to report
back to his electorate, and strengthen organization
by colleges, which has innumerable and obvious
benefits.
Some day, some brave soul is going to ignore
the stigma attached to a "men's point system" and
introduce such a measure in the Student Council.
It has worked well in women's activities, and
would remove many of the "fundamental" ills that
accompany piling of activities to attain distinction,
when conscientious, concentrated work in a few ate
needed. Minnesota men have such a system, and
no one ever accused Bernie Bierman's boys of being
"sissies".

May 1 humbly try to defend my
self on a fpw of the charges:
In item ft of the bill of particu
lars a reference is made to the
"original script" which 1 did not
lead. May I hrre and now relate
a little story, the history of the
play "Lost Horizons."
Oiu'p upon a time there was a
, man by the name of Harry Segall
who wrote a play which Rowland
Slrhbin.-: would not produce. He
called it "Lost Horizons." This
would be. I suppose, the "original
script," but let us refer to it simply
ar. No. 1. Stebbins called in a man
by the name ot Dunning, who at
tempted to collaborate with Segall,
but the plav remained pretty much
as it had been. This is number 2.
. Sfg.ill then want to Hollywood
where he wrote still another ver
sion, which we will call No. .'5.
Sbbin; bought No. 3 and called
in a Mi. Hertz to revise it. The
rernilt we will call No. 4, and
i her I quote Burns Mantle i: "Ap
parently no one liked it but Mr.
Hertz." Stebbins had a Ftage di-rcdo;-
called John Hayden, who
rewrote the thinj; another time,
i making now, No. fi.
This version was railed "Lost
, Horizons. ' and John Hayden is
acknowledged to be its author. A
' mi- ' it was produced on Ihe lftth
i day of the month of Oc tober in
' ltl.'M, at St. Jaim-s thcHter, on

When tho University Player:;'

save humanity from infantile pa

looked up Mr. Harry Segall, and
talked him into letting me read
the "original script by the original
author," which Mr. Gould so
blandly assumes that the players
are presenting.
I contend with a certain
amount of factual evidence, that
the players are not presenting
the original version by the origi
nal author." That they are pre

and that in referring to it in
their publicity as "a three act"
drama done on Broadway a s:a
son or so ago" (Lincoln Sunday
Journal and Star, February 14,
1937) they are guilty of misrep
resentation of fact. If it is not
the same play as presented in
1934 at St. James theater, it is
dishonest to refer to it as such.
If the department of Speech and
Dramatic Art, and the students
enrolled in it, Jo not agree with
me as to the worth of the play,
and want to call me a. f"w bad
names. I do not mind. If, in good
taste, they call me h bad critic,

that that is their opinion, and I
shall stick to mine.

To the Editor:
Monday school was excused at
10 so that university students
could attend the Charter day pro
gram In the coliseum. Over 6.000
were let out nf classes aad about
2, C00 thowed up at the convoca
tion. Where was the rest of the
student bodv, the other 3.000 who
had been liberated for the occa
sion ? Perhaps, if you had dropped
into the Drug, the Moon, or the
Tasty Pasty we would have found
a portion of the deserters. Others
were lounging around in frater
nity and sorority houses or pur-
chasing new spring outfits down
town. Was this the honest way to
spend the two hours between 10
and 12 when one could have been
listening to a fine lecture and
some good music? We were let
out not because of a general holi
day nor because the teachers were
tired of teaching, but because
there was a good chance for us
to get educated. And even when
education is spoon fed by a man
with a beautiful English accent,
students pay no attention.
If you don't mind my frank
ness, I resent the attitude which
the Nebraskan has taken on this
subject. It seems that the way
you treated the Issue in Sunday's
paper was partly responsible for
Monday's turnout. Instead of a
banner headline reading "Wil
lert to Speak at Charter Day
Piogram'' or the like, the Ne
braskan comes out with a big
streamer reading "Classes Dis-
Missed at Ten Monday." some
spirit and co-operation! You
should be complimented for it.

Only God Can
Change the Court.
To the Editor:
A budding historian entered into
the Supreme" Court controversy in
your Tuesday issue, adding hia
weighty knowledge of the past to
the opinions of lawyers, journal
ists, and political scientists. May
we come in?
Holding no brief for President
Roosevelt's plan to increase the
size of the Supreme Court, we
wish, however, to criticise the his
torian's (Mr. Marshall's! defense
of the Supreme Court. Mr. Mar
shall's letter reads, " a certain
respect for the political tradition
of 150 years' duration might be in
keeping even with journalistic
propriety."
Since when is a "respect for
tradition" a prime necessity in
any social order, from a prac
tical point of view, or from an
historical standpoint? Was
George Washington concerned
with the tradition of "God save
the King?" Was Lincoln re
spectful of the tradition of slave
holding in the south? We sin
cerely doubt that even Mr. Mar
shall would care to defend those
traditions today. Yet the Su
preme Court today represents
much of the same type of
tyranny, under the guise of a
venerable tradition, as George
III typified in 1776 and the
"chivalry" of the southern plantation-owner
in 1861.
Mr. Marshall has attacked the
plan as dictatorial perhaps! But
may we support the editor's an
swer that the Supreme Court is,
and has been, the most dictatorial
department of our government.
The record of judicial injunctions
and the filching of power by the
court throughout our nation's his
tory shows the most consistent
record of tyranny in our democ
racy. We suggest that Mr. Mar
shall read what he recommends to
others Article III, sections 1 and
2 of the Constitution of the
United States.
If we are going to be constitu
tional, that is strict construction
ists, let's go whole hog and let
Congress "from time to time or
dain and establish" the makeup
and personnel of the court.
Where did the Supreme Court
get its power to "interpret" the
Constitution? A careful analysis
of history shows that Mr. Mar
shall's namesake (an ancestor
whom he is defending?), John
Marshall, one time supreme jus
tice, seized for the court the
power of interpretation. Perhaps
such usurpation of power was
justified by the needs of that
historical period. Perhaps the
needs of the present historical
period will bring about loss of
this usurped power. Perhaps the
rights of property, of which the
Supreme Court has been the
high priest, may be forced to
give way to human rights. In
telligent historians indicate this
probability.
! Let us close with a quotation
i from Nebraska's Senator Norris,
! from his debate in the senate on
Feb. 14. 10313. referring to the Su
1 nreme Court's decision on the
AAA:
"I think the decision is an
amendment to the constitution;
but that is not a new thing. The
court has amended the constitution
before. In fact the Supreme Court
now. in effect, for all practical
purposes, is a continuous constitu
tional convention.
"The people can change the con
gress, but only God can change
the Supreme Court."

Demoeruey Without
I A Court Guillotine.
i To the Editor:
I It is a pathetically lamentable
1 reality that some people become
so steeped in school text, academic
credences, the inertia thereby cre
ated, ulong with intoleration that
amounts to b'.gotry, that they show
idolatrous reverence for time worn
precedent and consequently to
write with tantrums when their
academically learned principles are
jettisoned and superseded by prac
tical, liberal forms. As you may
have conjectured, 1 refer to the
article submitted by the graduate
student of history . . .
At the outset, we must ac
knowledge that the supreme
court needs to expedite its work
. . . But since the so-called "pack
ing" of the supreme court is the
bone of contention, I should like
to state In unmistakable terms
that obviously Mr. Roosevelt
contemplates packing the su
preme court, and this receives
my hearty approval. The Injec
tion of comparatively young lib
erals to offset the frustration
caused by ultra-conservative, be
whiskered fossils . . .
We surely know that ojr duly
elected representative are sent t
Washington to enact the public
will into legislation. With our rep
resentatives fawning to public will
so that they may be re-eJected
every two or six years, only the
unthinking fear a dictatorship;
such a thought is preposterous.

Furthermore, the presidential ap
pointees will have to have the con
firmation of ou representatives,
the senators . . . Witness the envi
able success of England, which
leads the world in political science;
yet, England has no judicial re
view whatever other than the
tribunal of public opinion . . . In
deed, a packing of the supreme
court will simply mean a fruition
of the enactment of the public
will so emphatically expressed last
November the enactment of ex
pedient, indispensable legislation
in keeping with progress and so
cial justice.
Now let's turn to the alterna
tive constitutional amendment. I
am in perfect harmony with Dr.
Stoke, who says: (Ed. note: Dr.
Stoke s full quotation can be found
in the Nebraskan of Feb. 7. He
views some method of liberal in
terpretation as inevitable, "like it
or not," and shows the amendment
system to be practically unwork
able.) Is Dr. Stoke right? As the
apostate AI Smith says, "Let's
look at the record." The last two
amendments, the repeal and
lame duck, involve no great eco
nomic issue; one involves a tech
nical, procedural change, the
other, a moral change. But the
great social and economic prob
lem, the child labor amendment,
relic of the middle ages and dis
grace to society that it is, falls
short of ratification because of
the pressure of a small, self
seeking minority.
Any form of government which
time and again invalidates the
public will and engulfs our ma
chinery with stagnation is incon
trovertibly undemocratic. Our gov
ernment will be more democratic
when our supreme court is liberal
ized, thereby permitting the rule
of the people through their repre
sentatives without a supreme court
guillotine threatening the life of
every great social measure.
