With Your Help
Further explanation of the editors note which accom
panied the society column in print in Wednesday's issue is
needed, considering the amount of comment that has been
circulating in campus circles.
Students have long expressed their indignation over
the society column that has from semester to semester ap
peared in the Rag. When the column was discontinued last
year the wave of indignation immediately made a one hun
dred and eighty degree turn which boils down to the fact
that you don't want it and at the same time you don't want
to do without it.
In accordance wih the above mentioned announcement,
the column will be discontinued unless we feel this time that
the majority of the students want it, or a similar column.
If there is a worthy substitute such replacement will be
made if a competent author who has the time and desire to
cover the campus thoroughly, which we realize hasn't been
done in the past or present. The decision is yours.
We want the student suggestions as to improvements
which are within our power to change and those which some
day may be changed. Your support can help us and in return
we promise you the best possible publication and our un
ceasing effort to improve the material at hand.

Editor Daily Nebraskanc
We the undersigned, officer in the youth groups of our two
major parties, and law students in this university, vigorously assert
the need for the training of young people in the art of self-govern
ment. Politics is something tangible and vital; it exists outside of
the political science classroom. "Practical" politics, as it has often
been called, is the motivating force behind and within the frame
work of our cherished democratic form of government. The dis
couragement of it on the campus (and it has been discouraged) is
simply the failure of ivory-towered professors and rah-rah minded
students to come to grips with reality.
Last year the "Daily Nebraskan" had an editor who thought
politics was something peculiar " only to Greek letter factions. A
political duel in the letters to the editor column by two of the under
signed was promptly squelched. Recently a member of the uni
versity Young Democrats was told that the paper could not print
an anti-Wherry ad because the Nebraskan was an official organ of
the state of Nebraska and therefore could not deprecate a state of
ficer. As fa ras we have been able to determine, the student paper is
just that a student paper, not the official organ of anyone. We believe
the denial to print this ad is an infringement upon our rights as pro
jected by the first amendment of the federal constitution.
The price you pay for a hamburger is determined as much by
politics as it is by economics. This is especially true today when
government, through "practical politics, regulates our economic struc
ture. Honest discussion, debate and a little good old fashioned mud
slinging between the youth groups of our two major parties bring
many important issues into the light. A probable two thirds of the
students on our campus are of voting age. It is ludicrous to deny
they political expression. Who pinned who, and what faction is try
ing to control the peanut politics on our campus is of trivial and
esoteric interest. The philosophy of a class president whose sole
duty is to plant a shaft of ivy is not conceivably as important as the
philosophy of the man we send to Washington Nov. 12, 1948.
Last year the Young Democrats, at no mean expense, had some
posters made which lampooned certain Republican congressmen. Yet
certain university authorities prohibited their exhibition and even
inferred to one of the undersigned that campus politics was of greater
moment. v
Soon the Young Republicans will have a going organization on
this campus, and in an effort at getting down to issues, will want to
exhibit posters of their own and place ads and letters in the "'Daily
Nebraskan." Will they also be denied this privilege? The answer
will com from the student body and the university officials.

Ed. note: While the Daily Nebraskan welcomes comment from
the readers on matters of policy connected with political reporting
and advertising, we feel that there are two statements in Mssrs.
Morrow, Ludtke and Ells' letter requiring clarification. 1) By def
inition and by act, The Daily Nebraskan is most emphatically the
official organ of the University of Nebraska. 2) According to our
policy, there is no agreement that requires or forces the Daily Ne
braskan's Business Manager to accept advertising from a particular
individual, organization or pressure group.
Kosmet Klub will meet at 5
p.m. in West Stadium to have
Cornhusker picture taken. Mem
bers are requested to wear tux
