It is going to last all day, so we do not think that sixty cents, tax in cluded, is too much to ask for a ticket. Wc expect to make a lot of money, because there is going to be a lot of students who will want to vote. The catch is they can not vote until they have bought a ticket from us. There may be a lot of students who will complain about having to pay us to get to vote in their election, but that does not bother us, because we know a guy who says the sys tem can't fail. This guy runs something called the Ku Klux Klub, or something like that, and he has got his own little deal whereby students pay money to vote for their Nebraska strong Woman. This Nebraska Strong Woman may really be a student institution, but be says he would like to see some girl who has done a little lifting for bis klub get the office. This guy, I forget his name but 1 think it was Laughtedatoft-en, was prelty cagey about tell ing us bow he was going to run his money- making election, but when he heard about our shindig he wanted to get a slice of the dough rightaway. But we thought that if a bright guy like that was interested in our party, we had something big, so we kept it to ourselves. I am surprise that some smart guy hasn t Dear Editor, As a horse-lover, this situation bothers me. Last Monday as 1 took my yearly consti tutional out to ag college on horseback from the fairgrounds to help Hank Kupf, superin tendent of the Norse Barn, put up hay for the noble, blooded Perehcrons and Belgians,.I was choked with smoke issuing (nay, nay, billow ing) from the enormous coal heap piled for the winter comfort of the students directly in back of the barn. The wind happened to be blowing directly from smoking coal heap to horse barn. The noble Belgians were sooty; the blood ed Perehcrons were hidden in a cloud of dense, white smoke. Their nostrils were red and dis tended, and their eyes bloodshot and running. Now it is a pity that the coal heap had to catch on fire, no doubt many students this winter will feel the need of the coal that is be in" wasted daily in this smoldering fire, but the immediate question to a horse-lover is the disastrous effect such a hazy existence will have on the noble, blooded personalities of these Tereherons and Belgians. 1 am only glad that my favorite marc Floeella and her six months old colt are safely away galivanting in a green pasture. , . As a horse-lover, I repeat, this situation makes me sad. Earnestly, ' Pat Chamberlin. (Editor's note: As a horse lover, it should make anybody sad. I ara relieved, however, to know that Floeella is out of danger.) S ItS JIM IMC yuilMH unit flint numui v C .

I guess that the boys and 1 learning fActs and figures with which to measure leadership, will have to watch out for this Stupid Umneii though and not count our fraction until they are mixed. Boy, I sure hope that no one catches on, because it's a lot of fun to run If wc fail in this respect, we are not entitled to university degrees. Many older people arc prone to think of university stu dents as hell raisers and individuals who arc out for a good time until hc day of their graduation. The student knows he is not this. The administration of this university knows we are conscientious individuals who are concerned with the .welfare of the state and nation as wellas our own individual selves, and many other citizens know that the student is. By Voting we can prove ourselves. For those vho can't vote, the time is not far off when they will cast a ballot and those students should also be tak ing an active interest in the election. For those who are of voting age, however, a deep feeling of duty and responsibility books, which allow four gallons a in ihrir Ktntn nnrl nation slinnld lie felt rmd tlicv should make week, will be allotted to most it a point to cast their ballot today. The Daily Nebraskan is not telling you how to vote. We are telling you not to fail to vote! student elections, and make money at it too. Be sure and come to our shindig on Novem ber 10, and don't forget your sixty cents. Your friend, ELMER SPRAGUE.
