Will We Do It?
"Women trek to the polls in Ellen Smith
today to east ballots for major offices in
women's organizations for next year. In one
month, the entire student body will cast their
votes for student council members, publica
tions' board and Ivy Day orator. These posts
are important to their respective organizations
and are worthy of careful consideration of
every individual student.
Too many of us take student elections too
V lightly and assume the attitude that our
single ballot won't make any difference in
selecting officers. If enough, of the student
body takes this attitude, the single ballots
amount to a few hundred which makes a
great difference in the final outcome of the
election.
Students on this campus are not doing their
duty to the university and themselves when they
fail to mark a ballot. They are given the right
to vote and should capitalize on this right by
seeing to it individually that the most capable

"Dushcen" a substitute for potatoes was
displayed at a meeting of the Home Economics
asociation. This vegetable looks like a potato
with big round spouts, grows underground,
and tastes and is prepared like a potato. Other
substitutes demonstrated included the "soy
bean," a Chinese bean used for fodder previ
ous to the beginning of the war and since then
lated to the Mexican bean, became a part of
salads. The "pinto bean," a small red bean re
used as flour for muffins, and also a part of
salads and pinto bean loafs.
Ross Hammond spoke at a convocation

candidates are voted into office. This can
only be done by the vote of all.
In one, two, or three years most of us will
be assuming citizenship duties and privileges
on a larger scale. If we are to use this citi
zenship to the best advantage and with the
greatest intelligence, we should begin now to
realize the necessity for active participation
in campus elections. We will, thus, be more
qualified to meet these greater responsibilities.
But if we assume this greater citizenship as
many of us assume university citizenship, we
may find ourselves worrying over the state of
this nation. There will be too many "I don't
give a damn" citizens, and not enough who
are making the most of their rights and
jrivileges.
Let's accept our campus elections as ma
ture men and women and see that the voting
today and next month has our fullest support
and co-operation. It will not only insure
us of good student officers but it will also
prove to ourselves that we arc willing to
accept the demands of citizenship.

With the spring election approaching, everyone especially the
Union faction that is wondering about opposition is guessing at what
the Barbs are going to do. Everything from no Barb party to a split
led by Dave Marvin has been discussed as possibilities in campus
political circles.
We have a hunch. It is that Bill uaroe, uoromy jean Bryan and
aides will lead the Barb party into the spring election with a com
plete slate.
Our hunch has about as good a basis as any or me ouier stories
that we have heard. We draw our conclusion from the gathering we
noticed at the Cornhusker hotel following the Junior-Senior prom. In
one corner of the coffee shop eating and confabing were Dafoe, ex
UN sweetheart, Virginia Bergsten; Gilbert Hueftle, last year's junior
class prexy; Dorothy Jean Bryan, big mogul on the Barb paper last
year; and several others whom we did not know.
Our suspicious mind was immediately aroused by the Joyous
laughter coming from the group. What really convinced us that plans
for Barb rejuvenation were being considered was the way everybody
was smoking cigars.
We thought that cigars were smoked only at candy-passings and
greek faction meetings, but here we saw unaffiliated leaders chewing
and choking on big, black cigars. We figured that something was up.
Just about everybody was smoking a cigar. Bill was smoking;
Gib was smoking; even Dorothy Jean was smoking. We weren't sure
about Dorothy Jean until she came up to us and blew smoke in our
face. After recovering from the fumes and the shock, we learned that
by blowing on us, she earned 5 from Dafoe, who, we understand,
offered her the money if she would "attack" us. We also heard that
Dorothy Jean was not feeling well the next day. But $5 is pretty
good pay.
We do feel sorry, however, for Dorothy Jean's stomach.
We also feel sorry for Bill's pocketbook.
But we feel most sorry for campus politics.
