The Student Council sponsored second registration for
politicial parties scheduled for Tuesday gives the students
one more chance to try ana pun campus politics out 01 me
indistinct muddle into which they have settled, lhis una
party registration is the last step before the parties make
their nominations for next years Student Council members,
student publication board, and Ivy Day orator to be elected
. in two weeks.
Two political parties will solicit student memberships
Tuesday, the Student Party for Democratic Government, a
hold over party from last year, and the new Union inde
pendent party. So that students may better understand the
things for which each party claims to stand, the Daily is
today carrying on the front page, statements trom Dotn
party leaders. A thoughtful reading of these statements
should help campus voters decide which or whether either
of the two parties will be trying to accomplish ends which
he as a student feels are for the benefit of the school.
That the students may be better informed, The Daily
is now asking that both party leaders, Don Chapin and Bill
Miller, have in our office by 2 p. m. Monday, an outline of
the manner in which the party business of adopting plat
forms and nominating candidates will be carried on, plus the
names of the people or groups who have been serving as
steering committees for the parties up to this time, we
feel that when a student gives his support to any political
group he should know who is writing the platform and de
ciding the principles of that party, in addition to the aims
of the group.
We also feel that we should point out that any student
who so desires may file independently and vote independent
ly without becoming a member of any political party. Neith
er is it necessary that a member of any party vote a straight
party ticket if he does not so desire. Non-party members,
however, will have no voice in the important selection of
good candidates to run on the election ballot.
This is a year when it is more than usually important
that every student take an interest and think for himself
about campus politics. The post war transition period is
an important one in the life of the university. It is a time
when the school will especially need a strong, trustworthy
Student Council with a great deal of initiative. The stu
dents will make the choice as to what kind of Student Coun
cil and publication boards we will have next year.
Whatever happens we can be certain of one thing, ac
cording to the statement of both existing parties. The
coming election will be one of snow white purity and
honesty, according to the statements, that is. '

pendent platform, which States its
ideas as follows:

As we keep telling ourselves, the whole trouble
with living is life. It not only has ups and downs,
but detours, dead ends and double inverted barrel
loops. Men no sooner get oriented to seeing a
woman's clavicle than they invent strapless eve
ning gowns. Naturally we had no trouble at all.
at the Prom. Mother sewed us into our dress, and
we remembered not to have a ripping good time.
Breathing is no longer considered an essential oc
cupation, anyway. Dunhamfs sweet strains left us
breathless as it was.
All morning Saturday we were embarrassed by
people standing just out of focus and quizzing us
"Who was with Janie?" and "Did you like Betty's
dress?" Plain, unvarnished, unadulterated truth is
we couldn't see farther than our left elbow with
out our optician's nightmares, which we stowed
away for the night in our gold mesh duffle bag.
Felt so smart, which for Johnny's benefit we ad
mit is not often, when we knew the Prom Girl
winner a whole six minutes and 12 seconds before
everyone else. Reminded us of the old Dillinger
drag-nets, with the committee members on an os
tentatiously nonchalant seouting trip over the floor
looking for Mary Cox. They couldn't have foand
a lovelier queen to our way of thinking.
People are calling Fred Teller "Stubby" after all
his worrying over the party. Oh, well, he never
did use his fingers below the second knuckle.
What Gerry Kathol is calling the committee mem
bers isn't printable, but it's a sure bet that there
isn't a lowly freshman on campus who doesn't know
now that Gerry is president of the N club.
As nerve-wracking as a chronic hiccuper in the
midst was the habit a number of misguided indi
viduals developed to Sonny Dunham's music. It
wasn't really necessary for them to step on us
above the ankle level, was it? Course we ap
preciate that when they both dance with their
eyes shut, interesting incidents such as walking

News in a
Nutshell
BY BOB BEASON
IIILO, HAWII On Tuesday of last week this
once-beautiful city of 25,000 inhabitants was ex
posed to the full fury of giant tidal waves caused
by a submarine earthquake. The final death toll
was over 150 persons. Several thousands were
homeless, arid overall damage was estimated to be
several million dollars. Other Hawaiian cities
struck by the waves were damaged less heavily.
The shores of Alaska, California and the Aleutian
Islands were struck by smaller waves.
NEW YORK The United Nations crisis over
Iran collapsed Wednesday night when the council
accepted Russia's unconditional pledge to withdraw
from Iran. The council voted to defer further con
sideration of the Iranian case until May 6, by
which time Russia has promised her troops will
be withdrawn.
TOKYO A speech by General MacArthur last
Friday opened the first meeting of the new allied
council for Japan. MacArthur bluntly outlined
the council's functions as advisory, and specified
that he shall remain "sole executive authority" in
the occupation of the beaten empire.
tending to be the domestic type. Seems we are
the only girl in Lincoln who can make coffee that
is both muddy and the color of orange pekoe tea.
Lose more silver spoons by leaving them in the
cup more than 17 seconds. Can't remember the
toastmaster jumping up and burning us, but the
blisters didn't come from playing with fire. We
weren't out of the frying pan all evening.
The final note on the Prom, so far as we are
concerned, has to do with the benevolent soul who
found the $27 worth of Prom tickets we lost, and
turned them in to the Union office. We don't know
who they are, but wherever they are, we love
them dearly. Yes, we do. And so do our mother
and father who would have had to put up the $27,
since we're so good for nothing.
