Keith Jones, I'none z-SilS And Your Stand. . .? What's your party, son ? Whether the question is voiced audibly or. in a feeble whisper, everyone is thinking and wondering just where the guy on the right or left stands as to political party pref erence. "El politico" is back, or so the story goes. Rumor has it that the situation has not yet reached its pre-war status, but a little time will solve the problem. Let's stop a moment, oy the grace of those in authority, and count our blessings. Politics are fun, sure, but when personal grudges are carried to the party caucus, on to the polls and out into the cold, cruel world, the situation looks pretty sad. Keep the political rammer-jammer down to a fast gallup, and "Re member the Alamo" it was a hard fight, too. Being a Student Council nominee doesn't necessarily mean full steam ahead on to Washington and the Nation's Capitol, and the path may not be strewn with rose petals. Life just isn't like that. Rather, it seems logical to main tain the high standards set up by your party, your school and yourself. As the political race has gained momentum, various groups have organized here and there. The four classes, as usual, have gone their own sweet ways, thusly: the seniors, who either don't care which party gets the nod or see a marvelous opportunity for a final fling; juniors, trying their darndest to find the "right" party; sophomores, "This is it the life!; and the freshmen, "Allah, master! I count for one vote." Then there are, among these four groups, those few sincere individuals who have the aims of the party at heart. More power to them. It boils down to this. There are good politics, bad poli tics and indifferent politics. Lite wouidn t be the same without them, but don't let it get you. down. . P.L.T. Faculty Notes Dr. Harold E.

The Daily Nebraskan of Thurs day, April 4, contained an error In terminology due to a mistake in printing. Prof. O. C. Collins is connected with the department of Astronomy, not the Department of Astrology, as stated in that issue. Astronomy, by definition, is the science which treats of the heav enly bodies, of their magnitudes, motions, distances, and constitu tion. Astrology is a pseudo sci ence which treats of the influence of the stars upon human affairs, according to Webster's New Inter national Dictionary. Predicto Life. Astrology claims to be able to predict the life of an individual from the exact day, month, and year of birth. There are two di visions of the field; namely, na tural astrology and judicial astrol ogy. Natural astrology has to do with the prediction of eclipses, con junction of planets, return of sea sons, and other natural phenom ena. Judicial astrology is the study of the influence of heavenly bodies on world affairs, according to "Sky and Telescope," astronom ical publication. Ptolemy in acient times - wrote a text that standardized the study of astrology, and recognizing the two divisions, natural and judicial. With the passing of time judicial astrology has become the astrology of today and natural astrology has become scientific astronomy. Therefore, astronomy today has a , definitely stable scientific back ground, and should not be con fused with astrology. i Delegates Attend Annual Economic Meet at Chicago Meeting in Chicago April 25, 26 and 27 is the tenth annual con vention of the Midwest Economics Association. Nebraska delegates attending the conference are C. E. McNeal, vice president of the or ganization, Dean J. D. Clark, chairman of one of the sessions, Dr. C. M.

In his speech, Dr. El liott maintains that "there is a need for removal of all criticism, however small, so that our stu dents will conclude when they finish the course that economics after all is not dry, uninteresting, and useless but an interesting and realistic subject which they vol untarily desire to pursue further in their scholastic career. In these annual meets of the Midwest Economics Association the Nebraska delegation plays a prominent role. Barb-at-Largc.

Office Opening For University Girl 3-5 or 3-6 PEERLESS CLEANERS 322 So. 11 2-6731 1 LETTERIP To the Students of the University of Nebraska: There appeared in Friday's Daily Nebraskan a letterip signed by the policy committee of the Union Independent party. We would like to draw your attention to one para graph of that article. It went as follows, "The party con siders the primary issue of this campaign to be the nomina tion and election of students qualified to hold ositions of campus responsibility." Seventy-five percent of the total enrollment at the Uni versity of Nebraska is unaffiliated. Not a single one of these students was deemed sufficiently responsible to hold a position of campus responsibility by the Union Independent party! At least, their names were conspiciously absent from this party's list of nominations. Every nominee of the Union Independent party is affiliated with a fraternity or sorority. Apparently that is what is meant by "qualified" to hold a position of campus responsibility. Furthermore, it is in teresting to note that there is on the Union Indeendent slate a person from almost every Greek group. How remarkable that "qualified" persons should be so neatly, apportioned! Contrast this with the Student Party slate which is made up both of affiliated and unaffiliated students an un affiliated student for Ivy Day orator, both affiliated and un affiliated students for senior-at-large, arts and science, bizad, pub-board and ag; affiliated students from teachers and unaffiliated from engineers, and so on. Not only that but at the Student Party caucus (which was open to all) il was decided to have co-chairman of the arty, so that bath unaffiliated and affiliated students might be better repre sented, and have a direct part in establishing party policies. IF YOU BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFINITE PLACE FOR BOTH GREEK AND UNAFFILIATED LEADERSHIP ON THIS CAMPUS, AND THAT STUDENTS SHOULD BE ELECTED FOR THEIR QUALIFICATIONS, REGARD LESS OF ANY ORGANIZATION THEY REPRESENT, THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION IS THE TIME TO PROVE IT.
