The Student Council's Judiciary Committee's ruling on Friday afternoon -making the second junior class presiden tial election legal was followed immediately by a statement of appeal on behalf of the Sigma Chis, representing the party in protest. This means that the case will go before the University Senate.. The case rests, in short, on Bob Johnson's letter pub lished in the Letterip column of the October 17th issue of The Daily Nebraskan. The question is whether the letter was a direct violation of the Student Council constitutional clause stating that, "No printed, mimeographed, typed, or otherwise published material in behalf of any candidate shall be permitted except the impartial announcements of the candidates appearing in the press." It has been the policy of The Daily Nebraskan this semester to publish any letters addressed to the Letterip column, providing those letters were signed and contained no profanity or libelous oUtement. Whether those letters merit publication, and what may be construed from them rests upon the jurisdiction of the editor. As editor, his de cision is final and not to be influenced by those on the out side, and it is his privilege and responsibility to demonstrate that impartial policy at all times. This issue will test the strength of a free press at the University of Nebraska. There is a decisive gap between freedom of the press in THEORY and in PRACTICE. Some of the greatest speeches on a free press have come from the lips of those not in any way conncted with the field of journalism. It sounds good and reads even better. But there is a great difference in pretty-sounding phrases and the actual fulfillment of the freedom itself. .Thomas Jefferson believed strongly and fought con tinually for freedom of the press. The age is different but the principle is the same. The seeds of democracy were be ing sown then. They are trying to bear fruit now. The Daily Nebraskan will stand its ground believing that what has been printed is in line with its policy of im partiality. The purpose of the Letterip column is to air student opinion on any and all sides. In this way, and only this way, can the official publication of a student body be of any constructive service to that student body. The decision by the University Senate will demonstrate whether this university is, as Chancellor Gustavson stated, a proving-ground for democracy. Mobile X-Ray Unit Deadline Delayed 4 Days Final plans for the Chest X-ray program on the campus have been announced by Louis Means, Stu dent Health director.
