TWO
DAILY NEBRASKAN
TiaHSDAV, MAY 18, 1939
HERE'S LOOKING
AT THEM
Thirty-four hands dipped into
the political pork barrel last night.
Nominations flew and dirty looks.
Motions were buried, Roberts'
rules of order invoked. More bal
lots were cast than members pres
ent. Progressives glared at Liber
als and Liberals at Progressives.
It was the first meeting of
the newly elected Student Coun
cil members for the choosing of
officers.
With the opening of the
meeting, it became apparent
first that the Liberals had a
voice. It became apparent next
that the girls of the council had
discovered that their member
ship was not just something for
the sorority to talk about rush
week.
The first nominations started
the fireworks. Breaking the tradi
tion of 13 years, Don Moss nomi
nated the only girl ever to run for
council president. The meeting
turned into a dogfight.
Out of the shambles emerged
this that the new council houses
in its 35 members more spirit than
the councils of the last three years
lumped together. They'll fight? Of
course they'll fight. The Barbs
and the Liberals against the Pro
gressives, with tha girls, as al
ways, hanging one leg over either
side of the fence. They'll stuff the
ballot box? Possibly, but Liberal
eyes will be checking Progressive
fingers and vice versa.
At least the new council will
not be a passive body who con
siders its duties completed with
the answering roll call. At least
the new council will show that
the only answer to a motion is
not necessarily "aye."
It is in hands like those of
these new members that we are
content to leave the Issues be
fore the council for next year
the lowering of the bus fare to
ag campus, agitation for a li
brary, and possible repartition
of campus representation.
More power to them!

Council
(Continued from page 1.)
delivered the last charge to the
student council, outlining past
achievements of this year's body
and suggesting still greater goals
that lie ahead.
Reviews record.
During the past year, Benn said,
"Our body has put into effect the
point system, has started and
sponsored Student Union forums,
organized the student loan fund,
and has led the fight for an inter
campus bus service."
"Next year's c o u n c i 1," he
charged, "has much before them."
By way of suggestion, Benn rec
ommended "something be done to
set up a plan to select the Stu
dent Union board on merit alone,
to co-operate with the administra
tion and with the DAILY NE
BRASKAN, and to get behind all
worthwhile projects and push them
into actuality."
"Tho there has been some criti
cism of the elections this year,"
he concluded, "many of the
charges have been unfounded.
With faculty co-operation and the
desire of the council to keep the
elections above question, we have
been successful in electing men by
a straight forward student ballot."
He cautioned the newly elected
members to seek to preserve the
same outstanding record in elec
tions that follow.

iK-rvice. His stories have appeared
in Esquire and the Hinterland.
Schooner contributor, writes for
this issue a story called "Ap
plause." J. Harris Gable, one of
the founders of the Schooner and
state director of the Nebraska
relieved war would be less probable."
Citing the parable of the three
robbers Thomson declared that the
"have not" nations would not be
satisfied as long as they could see
the "have" nations retaining their
"international swag."
"There are three ways in which
empire may be reduced," stated
Thomson, "the first, to free sub
ject peoples such as those in India
and Philippinees; second to grant
dominion status or statehood, as
has been given Canada; third, to
place the uncivilized areas under
international control."
Dr. Winnacker agreed with Mr.
Thomson that his approach was
only logical, but declared that
"truth is in abeiance in the world
of affairs and at present a logical
solution of the situation is impossi
ble because all of Europe is divided
into two hostile camps.
"In consideration of this fact,"
Winnacker continued, "the prob
lem of peace seems to be one of
peace for the United States."
"There are two solutions to this
problem. One is the isolationist
point of view. The second is the
Roosevelt policy based first on the
idea that we can't stay out of a
European war once started and
that, therefore, we should prevent
war by throwing our moral and
economic power to the side of
France and England which will
make it to risky for Hitler and
Mussolini to start a war. The
second assumption is that England
and France would easily be de
feated without us. A fascist Eur-1
ope without the British navy pa-
troling the seas and with East
Asia under the control of Japan
would be most uncomfortable for
the United States.
"At present," Winnacker con
cluded, "this policy has created a
stalemate which mitrht last a
week, a month, or even for years.
In which time the tempers may
cool and antagonisms die so that
a more permanent solution may he
worked out.
