so we do not think that sixty cents, tax in

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

really be a student institution, but be says he
would like to see some girl who has done a

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.)

As students we should be in a position to help select the to anything you want them to when you are

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
