What Basis
For Election?
Paramont interest on the campus is now centered laeka
dnisically, true enough on the women's elections for Tasse
find YWCA officers. Next week the publication hoard meets
to decide Nebrnskan staff members for 1 lie second semester
and this, too, will be almost entirely a women's elect ion.
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.
Deciding who should have
job. Too often those in power must decide between someone
who isn't very good, but who has worked hard, and someone
else who has a great deal of ability but who doesn't measure
up to her rival in the amount of work accomplished. An in
timate knowledge of the position open and ihe two eoed
involved is necessary 1o make this decision. Ideally energy
and lalent should he combined. Possibly the one attribute any
candidate can he judged on is "capability,"' but Ibis, nnfor
tuiialely, is a quality difficult 1o 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
are 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
egg, please, in a glass.
Could it be that the person
wlio ordered the half a glass of
lemon juice decided to add the
mi 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 replizing 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
vaded the grill, they have intro
duced new names to the list of
fountain concoctions: Boston
coolers are sodas whipped up j
on the mixer; pine junction is j
another way of asking for a
sundae: chocolate cabinet is the
way one asks for a shake in the
state of Maine.
Some people prefer coffee,
and then again some ptple 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, so he combines the two .
and asks for, "ice cream in cof-
fee."
Most frequent visitor of the
crib has her own special dish
which is known as the Lahr
special, no less thsn ham steak
on two buna.
Maybe there is another way
of making banana splits with
out the bananas. The waiters j
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."
(Of course, get it that cus
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.
Ed voiced the opinion of the
five when he said, "It's been
good experience, working here.
It has given us a chance to
meet new friends and we are
going to miss it."
