Lincoln, Nebraska
Thursday, October 23, 1941
Open rebellion flared in a torrid session of the
student council last night when George Campen,
barb, jumped to hia feet and declared that every
barb member of the council would immediately re
sign should the student council go on record as
opposing the petition being backed by the barbs
to amend the council constitution.
"AH except one!" was the retort coming from
Bob Alberty, also a barb, who followed the majority
of the council in its disregard of Campen's threat in
voting and in Its final decision to oppose the amend
ment which would have the members of the council
elected under the Hare systm and according to pro
portional representation. Gilbert Hueftle, last year's
junior class president and a barb, walked out dur
ing the balloting.
The heated discussion began when Burton Thiel,
president of the council, tecognized Bill Dafoe, not
a member of the council but barb leader who pro
posed the plan, and invited him to explain the
petition. Stating that he believed the council had
previously planned to oppose the amendment, Da
foe refused to explain the petition article by article
because of its length and complexity, but offered
to answer any questions about it which might be
asked from the floor.
Asked by Thiel to dispense with the prelimi
naries, Dafoe proceeded to answer the torrent of
questions which followed. A general debate of con
fusion began, with Preston Hays, Marion Cramer
Aden, and Chris Petersen leading the opposition.
Finally Professor Lantz, council faculty advisor,
asked that the advantages be clearly enumerated.
In answer Dafoe stated, "The present system of
election will greatly simplified." An unbelieving
echo of snickers rose from the council.
"Second," he said, "the representatives would be
elected according to the respective strength of par
ties, with a one to four ratio between the ag and
city campuses. (See COUNCIL, Page 4.)

We Vote- J Q
At the election next Tuesday, students will vote Yes or No
on the liarb proposal to change membership on the Student
Council. We want to cast our verbal vote now. It is an em
phatic No.
If this proposal goes through, it will junk all of the prog
ress which has been made in the past ten years in improving
student government on this campus. Ten years ago the Student
Council constitution was formulated by one of the members of
the political science department. Every year since then im
provements have been made in the constitution to make it more
fair and more efficient. Elections have been cleaned up, pro
jects cared on for the advancement of the entire university
and a systm of student representation from all colleges worked
out on the fairest basis possible.
Even though it meant bringing more politics into the coun
cil, a proportional representation clause was written into the
