Improvements
Last semester and in previous semesters much adverse
comment has been leveled at the Student Council, centering
around the actual worthiness of the organization, as it was
being administrated. In some instances council members
themselves admitted the futilitv of attemDtine to eive stu
dent government to the campus with the limited powers
delegated tnem while at other times their wrath displayed
ineir displeasure witn the charges.
Although the current semester is still in its compara
tive infancy, the Student Council apparently isn't waiting
to begin functioning as has been the precedent. Who or
wnat snotgunned the organization into action remains a
mystery but from this angle it assumes the proportion of a
needed shot-in-the-arm.
Dale Ball and his Improvements committee apparently
it-ui waning ior grass to grow under motionless feet.
Not only have they outlined several improvements which
are needed, but Tn addition, they plan a campus-wide poll
lucaa. iuw 1a uie ume .ior ine students to do
their part and help the organization which is their channel
of liaison with the administration.
If the organization bogs down again this year, then it
isn't even worth the activity points attributed to is mem
bers. Unless the Council accepts the reins of government
and exercises its authority as the official reDresentation
for some 10,000 students then why not abandon the idea
altogether; it, however, it swings into full scale action,
as it appears to be doing, then the Daily Nebraskan pledges
lumpieie support.
The action of Improvements committee has already
made it tough for the multitude of other committees the
Council embraces, but such a stimulating ingredient has
been needed for many moons. To repeat, it's early but it
still looks like a "new deal" in student government. If it's
true, let us be the first to congratulate the Council, if not
. . . well, we'll wait and see if the work of one chairman and
one committee isn't what has been lacking in the past.

Letter to the Editor:
This is a call to have everv stu
dent-veteran or faculty member,
of voting age. to register with the
election commisioner's registrars
now in ine iiOve uorary.
About the only thine nowadays
that the soaring high prices
naven't affected here in the U.S
for an ex-G.I. is his right to vote
mat "right to vote" is one of
the few ways through which the
average ex-soldier, sailor, marine
nas to fight back at high prices
He can help turn out of office
congressmen and senators who
have continuously voted for leg
islation which has helped create
this upward spiral in prices.
Most or the more than 6.000
veteran-students on the campus
will still be attending the univer
sity next spring and fall when
the national elections will be held
thruout the country. Few will
take time out to write home for
ballots, thus few veterans will be
able to have a voice in the se
lection of persons who seek our
highest offices.
Therefore, as a sort of last call.
we urge that all veterans register
with the registrars in the Love
Library in order to vote in Lin
coln and out-state Nebraska. The
registrars from the city's election
commissioner will be on hand
both on WEDNESDAY at the Love
Library and on THURSDAY at
the Agriculture building on the
Ag Campus.
Everyone over 21 years of age,
both students and faculty mem
bers, can register for voting re
gardless of how long they have
been in the state or county.
One day, according to Election
Commissioner Raymond Frohn, is
long enough to be in the state in
order to register. The six months
requirement, according to Frohn,
refers only to voting.
Out-of-state veterans attending
the university should remember
that the actions of Senators
Wherry and Butler and Nebras
ka's four representative affect
them as well as native Nebras-
kans, and thus should take part in
either defeating these men or re
electing them.
We urge all veteran students to
register.

of University of Nebraska

cracker who approached us with,
"You're a Daily Nebraskan com
munist, aren't you?" To which
we replied, "No, socialist, and
that's a pretty poor pun."
1 Hip, Hip '
Hooray and Hallelujah! H
yesterday's lead story in the
Daily Nebraskan can serve as a
reliable indication, the student
council may do something this
year other than perpetuate itself,
or revise the constitution. Get
enough of these council commit
tees working and doing some
thing constructive, perhaps the
council will be able to redeem it
self after getting a black name
last spring for dealing brashly
in dirty politics rather than in
council duties. At the ,time, as a
Letterip expressed it, redemption
could be in only one form: "That
is by mass resignation." Well,
time and elections will tell
whether or not such a drastic
step should have been taken.
Question on Quotas
To May Wherry; Rolland
Bruntz, Jack McCullen and
others who flatly oppose an in
crease in immigration quotas, as
revealed by yesterday's poll, let
us pose the question, "Then what
should be done with the remain
ing DP's who haven't been aided
by the IRO, many of whom
fought valiantly during the war
against the enemy that was ours"
Sure, bringing in these immi
grants would have its disadvan
tages, and might compel us to
deal wth a few new problems,
but we kind of suspect things
would work out better, with them
(a portion ofthem, anyway) in
a country that has never ex
perienced a bombing and still has
enough to eat than in the devas
tated and poverty-stricken areas
where they are now. Okayi so
we sound preachy, but, hang it,
it's about time we started shoul
dering instead of sluffing some of
our international responsibilities.
"House of the Week"
Incidentally, jf "there are no
objections to our mentioning the
blood list again, we'd like to cite
Terrace Hall as the "House of
the week.' Ten of the coeds liv
ing there have volunteered to do
nate blood for the World Student
