Campus Crackpots . .
Would-be politicos, publishing dire threats to organized
groups of the "weaker" sex, canvassing the campus for
votes for aspiring Boss Kellys, browbeating or just plain
beating their brothers, and rabble-rousing long dead politi
cal issues are back!
Returning from a war fought against dictatorships by
free-minded people, these miniature party leaders, having
benefitted by their association with one-man and one-party,
governments, are trying out their improved tactics right
here.
For the enlightenment of these returnees who have
chosen the Nebraska campus to try their political wings,
during their enforced absence, campus affairs were run by
coeds. That in itself is not news, but the fact that no
scandal of block-voting, no searing letters to the editor,
slandering the candidates or intentions of an opposite party
threats were muttered is worthy of mention.
Elections were held and the offices were fairly evenly
distributed among all groups. Admittedly, some elections
had to be re-held because the Student Council election rules
were locked in the memory of one of the BPOC's who was
in the service.
All in all, life since 1943 has been peaceful on the
political side, but mainly, that side has been fair fair in
the sense that no student nor any group was threatened
with ostracization or worse by not voting the "right" or
faction way.
Students expected and hoped things would be different
when the war was over and university life returned to pre
war traditions. They also feared the return of the tradition
of dirty politics with all its double-crossings, promises which
are never kept, and undercover methods of getting the vote
so that a few can attain personal glory with no thought of
ciean ana nonest administration of student affairs.
Aspiring campus politicians are now beginning their
whispering campaign and issuing threats that certain houses
will never have the honor of having one of its numerous
queens among their members.
Presidents of all 13 sororities on this campus have mu
tually agreed, wholeheartedly and without reservation, that
there will be no block voting and that no one is going to
tell them how to vote. The coeds in these groups cheer this
agreement and stand solidly together on the issue. There
fore, the faction boys can cross out the affiliated coeds
when it comes to counting their votes. Having passed the
war years successfully voting the way they want to, coeds
insist that no mere man is going to tell them how to vote.
That is as it should be. When college men and women,
supposedly educated to the democratic, secret and free
method of election, submit to the tyranny of a few amateur
Hitlers, it can spell disaster when they assume the responsi
bility for the nation and the world not so many years in the
future. o t

As strange as it may seem, at
this early date, week-end plans
are fairly well set, and despite the
studies which use to require the
week nights, the other evenings
are, in many cases, now used for
other things.
Big news of. the week is the
marriage of Merrill Shutt and Don
Grant. The wedding took place in
Omaha Saturday, and in spite of
rumors from several sources that
"they knew it all the time," the
event was generally a complete
surprise to the entire campus. For
tunately for the Cornhusker, the
bride resumes her editor duties.
Not as spectacular as a wedding.
but still nice, is the candy passing
Monday of Marge Dahlman and
Clark Craig. She now sports a
huge diamond and will be mar
ried around Christmas.
Visitors from distant places are
becoming prominent on this cam
pus, and as evidence we use last
week end's visit of Sandburn Cook
who traveled from Sabetha, Kas.,
to see Libby Wenger. John Conk-
ling is coming from Colorado to
spend the week end with Phyl
Teagardcn. You'd think there
weren't enough men on this cam
pus already.
There seems to be much rumor
around that Dee Bourne has hung
his pin, but poor Dee refuses to
reveal the girl and the campus
still wonders. Some pins have
been hung and the necessary tra
ditions are being met except in
the case of Lee Chapin and Dot
Bennison. Lee passed the cigars to
his brothers, but Dot disappointed
her Theta sisters and neglected
the candy. Buzz Howard also did
the honors with cigars Monday
night, but the Pi Phis will have to
wait until Bunny Matthews drops
in sometime in January on her
way to New York before they
will see the sweets.
Rumors of big parties this week
end sound like lots of fun, but as
yet most dates are indefinite. Bill
Norton is taking Dottie Manion to
the S. A. E. celebration Friday
night and the events, if they go
as scheduled, will include a din
ner and dance.
The Phi Psis also have big
plans for a house party, and a few
of the dates now known are Bar
bie Cypreansen with Bob Reidy,
Ted Krumlin with Patsy Krause
and Anne Whitham with Bob
Baum.
Newest triangue to date is that
of 3arbie Turk, Jody Wolcott with
Howie Esser in th middle . . . .

Which looks interesting Is that of
Mimi Loomis and Al Thompson.
Maybe they will be attending the

Seen at forestry lab often to
gether are Mary Cavender and
Marilee Stoff.
Saturday night will find Mere
dith Bowhay with , Dean Kratz,
Janie Munch with Bob South
worth and D. Ann Richardson
with Ward Calvert, while two
spectators at the Northeast game
Friday will be Nancy King and
Francis Fagct.
As I sign off, I am answering
the plea of certain students who
wished to tell the world that he
still has his pin. I wonder if Bob
Jordan and Fran Edee had fun
last week in Pawnee City.
