This list may not be used as a
sample ballot and cannot be taken
into the polling: area under any
conditions.
Article IV in the Student Coun
cil Election ruling section states,
polls or in the building in which
election is being- held during elec
tion day. No money shall be spent
in behalf of any candidate."
The regulations continue, "No
printed, mimeographed, typed, pr
otherwise published material in
behalf of any candidate mayshall
be permitted except the impartial
announcements of the candidates
appearing in the press. Any can
didate violating these rules either
in person or through his support
ers shall thereby become ineligible."
Although substitution due to in
eligibility of candidates had to b
be made, the final ballot differs
little from the first individual
party slates. In order to qualify
the many veteran candidates fil
ing for office, the elections com
mittee passed supplementary rules
amendments to university rules.
Students who are sophomores at
the present time and who will be
juniors next fall may vote on the
junior ballot for Publications
Board members.
Students9 Polling Strength Determines New Government
Today the students at the University of Nebraska prove whether
they do or they don't care about student government and a voice in the
affairs of their school. Today every one of those students that's you
we're talking to, bud will or will not go to the Union basement or Ag
Hall and cast a ballot in the spring elections for Student Council mem
bers, Publication Board members and ag exec board. WILL YOU?
Everyone says, "It isn't who you vote for, the important thing is to
vote."' We agree, to a point. Too many of us take the attitude that our
one ballot doesn't make any difference in the final outcome of the elec
tion. If enough of us feel this way, it will amount to several hundred
ballots which make a great difference in the election results.
Voting in university elections is an acknowledgement that we are
accepting university citizenship. In one, two or three years those of us
who have not already done so will go a step farther and accept citizen
ship duties and privileges on a larger scale. Active participation in cam
pus elections now is preparation for great future responsibilities.
We feel, however, that who you vote is as important as the act of
voting. Every student has had sufficient time to find out who the candi
dates are and their qualifications for office. If this has been neglected,
there is still the rest of the day for quick research.
All of the offices to be filled today carry specific duties and call for
definite qualities in the individuals who are to fill those offices. At pre
sent our Student Council is in drastic need of intelligent students with
initiative who will make the Council something more than a bi-monthly
tea party. As the Council is now set up it has practically no power. A
few real leaders who would reorganize the Council might be able to make
it the first real student governing body the campus has seen in years.
The .same thing goes for the Ag Exec Board which has accomplished
even less than the Student Council in the last three years.
Publication board jobs call for some knowledge of the qualities
which make up a good student publication. Even though candidates are
handicapped by lack of publication experience, they can at least have
enough interest to become acquainted with the problems of publica
tions and to find out what the student readers want.
To vote intelligently, coeds and men will keep in mind the abilities
of the individuals for whom they are voting. It is a lazy voter who
votes only on party affiliation.
WE WANT TO EMPHASIZE ONCE AGAIN THAT EVERY STU
DENT WHO HAS AN IDENTIFICATION CARD CAN VOTE. YOU
DO NOT HAVE TO BE REGISTERED FOR A POLITICAL PARTY TO
VOTE. IF YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR A PARTY, YOU DO NOT
HAVE TO VOTE A STRAIGHT PARTY TICKET. THESE ARE ALL
STUDENT ELECTIONS!
Another reminder we would like to mention is that no student who
fails to cast a ballot today has the right to gripe about any actions suc
cessful candidates take next year on the student governing bodies or the
publications. If you don't vote for candidates they will not be truly
representative of you as a student. If you are too lazy or disinterested
to vote, just remember to keep your opinions to yourself next year when
the time comes to gripe.
