"With one of the smallest filings in recent years, etudents will have little chance to choose whom they want in office when they go to the polls in the fall election." That's how the election story in Sunday's Daily Nebraskan started. If more than nine students do not file for the six open positions, it seems wasteful for the Student Council to pay for printing ballots and conducting an election. en filiings closed Friday the following stu dents were virtually elected because they were the only candidates: Jack Stewart, senior class presi dent; Allen Zikmund, junior class president; Becky Wait, Nebraska Sweetheart; and John Thiessen, Prince Kosmet. What would the honors mean to these people, unless more candidates were filed? Nothing. Before last year there weie at least three candi dates for each men's office a Barb, a Progressive and a Liberal. There were four or five women candidates for each popular position. Then the Barb party became better organized and backed "one and only one candidate for each office," including the women's posts. This action brought the Greek women into politics for self-preservation. Political parties are all right in their place, but their purpose is usually to back candidates who stand for a certain principle or set of principles. Principles are not involved in elections on the University of Nebraska campus and, until the parties on the campus have some purpose for which they are working, we think they have no place here. Class officers used to be elected in order to keep G.O.P. Bill The attack upon the destroyer Kearny has had repurcussions of varying intensity upon the political situation in Washington. Foremost of its results comes in the form of a bill introduced in the senate yesterday calling for outright repeal of the neu trality act. The startling part of the action is the fact that the bill was introduced, not by adminis tration forces, but rather by members of the re publican minority in the senate upon the recom mendation of Wendell Wilkie. It would seem to indicate that party lines have been shattered even more than previously by the lawless attack upon the Kearny. It was the plan of the administration, as was pointed out in this column several days ago, to consider such a move if the arming of merchant vessels prohibition was repealed in the house with a large enough majority. Inasmuch as this was done last Friday with a 2 to 1 ratio, the administration forces will be pleased no end with the G. O. P. move. The isolationists, however, are prepared to take counter steps. Senator Wheeler plans to attach a war declaration rider to the bill to stop it. This is reminiscent of the threat made by Hamilton Fish to introduce such a resolution in the house some time back. If you will remember it did not materialize, and the venerable isolationist repre sentative even went so far to the other extreme as to vote for the repeal of the arming of merchant vessels prohibition. What will Wheeler do? Only time will tell. the members of each class united in one class spirit. If the presidents of the senior, junior and sophomore classes were elected for this purpose, their offices would be worthwhile. Since they are not elected for this purpose, we see no reason for their existence. If each party and candidate would form a constructive program for develop ing spirit amosg all members of each class, the offices would mean something. As for such popularity posts as Honorary Colonel, Nebraska Sweetheart, Prince Kosmet and Prom Girl, we're, in favor of separate elections that are not bound up with parties. Perhaps the system used at some other colleges and universities would be more successful than the one used here. That is, to have an election for each of these posts near the time for the Military Ball, Kosmet Klub fall revue and Junior-Senior Prom. These honors should mean much to the students who receive them. For Nebraska Sweeihtart and Prince Kosmet, it might be better if an election were held at the door so that those who are really interested in Kosmet Klub and in attending the Klub's show would be the electors. The Pep Queen election is carried on in this maner and is not ridden wtih politics. All-out student cooperation is the only way to pull elections pn this campus out of the political muck and until this is accomplished and unless filings are re-opened and more students file, we say: "Why print ballots?" Debate (Continued from Page 1.) leges for seminar discussions. These practise debates and forum discussions will be held in speech classes or before other university classes for whom the subject un der discussion would be appzo priate. Laase Explains Set-up. The procedure to be used in se lecting squad members and an ex planation of the debate quiKtion will be discussed by Professor Laase in tonight s meeting. First topic selected for this semester deals with government regulation of labor unions. In response to inquiries as to whether there would be women's debate this year Laase has this to gay: "So far as I know, there is no rule in the university prohib iting women lrom participating in intercollegiate debate. Women do participate in most other univer Some women who become high school teachers of English and; speech in Nebraska are fre nuentlv exnected to coach debate and it would therefore be unfair to deny them the opportunity for training and experience. Whether there is a women's debate team this year will probably depend on whether or not lnieresiea anu competent women debaters turn out." The Love Memorial Library, when completed next fall, will be the largest building on the campus Bulletin Calendar Tuesday. Chaperones club, Kappa Sig ma chapter house, 2:30 p. m.
