High cost of vanity!
Driven by a vain desire to be what they aren't,
to cover up their deficiencies, and to gain a little
questionable prestige, about 10 percent of the stu
dents on this campus, particularly sophomores and
juniors, falsify themselves, and hide what they are
really like under a veil of make believe that smells
of insincerity. And not gaining a thing thereby,
they purchase this vanity at the cost of doing much
which they themselves deplore.
Names are not necessary for identification. The
very conversation of this group colored as it is
with personalisms, tags its members. Whatever
they say is for effect. They go certain places
against their wishes because they feel it is impor
tant that they be seen there. They pretend to be
interested in sports or other activities when in truth
they detest them. Their whole life is something
that they naturally are not By their actions, you
all know them.
DAILY editorials are not sermons. For who
are we to preach. But when glaring examples of
make believe are brought to our attention, we
can't help but feel such vanity is purchased at a
mighty high cost.
This is our stand!
With the DAILY'S endorsement yesterday
of recognized politics for women, antagonism arose
among the "sec no evil" elements on the campus
and efforts were immediately made to misinter
pret the position of this paper on politics in general.
That no one may think the NEBRASKAN is a
champion of dirty poltics, and that certain self
evident truths about politics may be brought into
the open, it is altogether proper that the DAILY
codify its political stand.
Politics is inherently evil. Any system that
QommsmL
awards offices on the basis of affiliation rather than
merit works Injustioe on the capable, and obstructs
organizational advancement
Yet words or the wishes of any "shame on
politics" group aren't going to eliminate a condition
that does exist and is a part of a democratic sys
tem of government. Politics is here to stay.
Certain "popularity" elections such as Prom
Girl, Nebraska Sweetheart, and Honorary Colonel
must be non-political, and the efforts of all groups
must be turned to making them such if the offices
themselves are to have any significance.
On other elections, however, women have as
much right to factionalize as men. They have been
making deals with one or more of the factions In
the past and have plotted among themselves.
Whether recognized or not, it is apparent women
will organize on a large scale this spring. In view
of this condition, nothing is gained by refusing to
publicize it.
If every girl is to be given the same chance,
the "deals" must be made openly. Where only
one or two sell their offices to a party, as has been
done so often, a premium is placed upon the best
politicians. Girls believing the fine statements of
the Mortar Boards that there is no politics, are
usually discriminated against. Open politics now
will give to every girl an equal chance in an elec
tion. Where cards are displayed on the table, the
crookedness will be controlled. For no group will
do openly what they at one time would do on the
sly.
It is the opinion of the DAILY that by being
practical about this question, and facing facts as
they are rather than as we wish they might be,
politics in general will be kept on a certain stand
ard, and a sizable amount of fairness may be ob
tained. "
Barbs plan mixed Library lists
swimming parties nine new books
In an effort to round out the
barb social program, the Barb
council has announced a mixed
swimming party to be held next
Saturday in the coliseum at 2:30
p. m.
Competition between organized
houses and clubs, between men and
women will be carried on in relays
and games. For the first time,
pool authorities have relaxed the
restriction that all girls must wear
regulation bathing suits, and girls
may wear their own suits.
Only requirement is that of a
swimming permit which may be
secured at the Student Health
office. Men may bring their own
towels, but women must pay a
nickel for towel and matron
service.
AH students who plan to go
should sign up on the bulletin
board in the Barb office. Another
swimming party has been sched
uled for the following week for an
evening swim.
Among the many new books in
the library are: "The Trees," by
Conrad Richter; "A Primer of Act
ing," by C Lowell Lees; "I Rode
With Stonewall," by Henry K.
Douglas; "Vanguards of the Fron
tier," by Everett Dick; "The Carib
bean Danger Zone" by J. Fred
Rippy; "The Struggle for Judicial
Supremacy," by Robert H. Jack
son; "American Dream," by Mich
ael Foster; "Earth's Green Man
tle," by Sydney Mangham; and
"Rival Ambassadors at the Court
of Queen Mary," by E. Harris
Harbison.
