What Basis
For Election? .
Paraniont interest on the e;miiis is now centered lack, a
diisio.'illy, true enough on the avo men's elections for Tasse
find Y"Vt'A offieers. Next Aveeli
to decnle Xebraskan staff members for Hie second semester
and this, too, Avill be tilmost entirely a women's election.
Politics on a widespread basis have not noticeably en
tered into the elections already held, except in the individual
houses or between certain small groups. It is lamentable
that the nominating- committees must sometimes decide who
they want to win an office and run a weak contender as
opposition to cinch their choice. On the other hand, col
laboration to prevent the election of one candidate rather
than to secure the election of the other one, has an even
worse effect. Chairman by chance and not choice is danger
ous to the efficiency and reputation of any organization.
And it is also demoralizing- to anyone honestly deserving the
office.
Decidiii" who should have
job. Too often those in power
vho isn't very pood, but io
else avJio has a great ileal ol auimy nut a no noesn t incasun
n iv tn lmr i-ivnl in tlif mniiiiiil nf wnrk accdiii rtlished. Aii in
timate knowledge of the posilion open and ibe two coeds
involved is necessary to make tins decision, ideally energy
and talent should be combined. Possibly the one attribute any
candidate can be judged on is "capability,'' but ibis, unfor
tunately, is a tjuality difficult to evaluate.
In the spring- the black masques will present their suc
cessors already chosen? and who these are customarily de
pends on what happens now. An upset in the apple cart is
always interesting. And, new thought, has there been any
so far?
Requests

(Continued from Page 1.)
The dumbfounded waiter was
relieved to find out that root
beer was the desired item.
One may easily wonder "what
ere college students made of"
when they crave such delicacies
as raw hamburgers, ketchup on
ice cream, pepper on ice cream
and the daily request for "a raw
g'g. please, in a glass."
Could it be that the person
who ordered the half a glass of
lemon juice decided to add the
mix after the chaser?
"I don't get stopped up very
often by strange orders," said
Nakata, "but when they come
in and ask for a Coca Cola, then
I have to stop and think."
Probably realizing the em
ployment shortage, were the
thoughtful couple who came in
and asked for two grilled steaks
on the same plate. Oh, well, it
gives that cozy, intimate feeling.
Note: To whom it may con
cern: According to the last
kitchen report, there are still
enough dishes to go around.)
Since the soldiers have in
Taded the grill, they have intro
duced new names to the list of
fountain concoctions: Boston
coolers are sodas whipped up
on the mixer; pine junction is
another way of asking for a
sundae; chocolate cabinet is the
way one asks for a shake in the
Ftate of Maine.
Some people prefer coffee,
and then again some peopl? pre
fer ice cream, but there is one
person on the campus who
doesn't like to waste time or
who doesn't want to make one
of these foods feel left out of
things, 80 he combines the twe
and asks for, "ice cream in cof
fee." Most frequent A'isitor of the
crib has her own special dish
which is known as the Lahr
special, no less than ham steak
on two buns.
Maybe there is another way
of making banana splits with
out the bananas. The waiters
have been wondering since a
customer came in with the defi
nite, decided demand for a "ba
nana split with bananas." (No

"I'd like a vanilla sundae,
please."
"A vanilla sundae? Do you
mean a chocolate sundae?"
"No, I mean a vanilla sun
dae vanilla sundae with choco
late sauce."

tomer knew what he wanted
a slight pause here while the
difference in the two is thor
oughly discussed.)
This is the last week in the
student union's crib for the
three pharmacy students who
graduate at the end of this se
mesterEd, Bob, and Roily.
Laverna and Mary Jane will
also leave the UN grill for
nurses training.

It has given us a chance to
meet new friends and we are
