Congrats and have a good time! 1230 "O" MVEY'S To the Editor: It is true that the editorial poli cy of the the Daily Nebraskan has been questioned by both students and faculty during the first two and a half weeks of the present academic year. I believe, how ever, that we can all agree on one basic journalistic principal, the principle that any newspaper should try to present the facts ac curately and without prejudice. In the interests of this principle and in order to clarify -certain issues raised by your editorial of October 9th, I should like to state briefly the constitutional history of the United world Fedaralists. In November, 1946. the organi zation kiown as Student Federal ists submitted a constitution to the Student Council as is required of now! NEBRASKA 2 ALL-TIME CHEATS!

Io action was taken on the document by the Council until the end of the winter term, at which time the constitution was returned to the organization for minor revisions. These revisions were immediately made and the document resubmit ted, with the change of name to United World Federalists follow ing the union of the Student or ganization with adult organiza tions. Having completed the ne cessary constitutional measures, the Nebraska chapter of UWt continued to function as a campus organization, proceeding on the assumption that if the Student Council did not approve of the constitution or desired further re vision, this information would be conveyed to the Federalist group. Especially in view of the fact that the UWF was sharing an office with the Student Council in the Union, there was little reason to believe that the Council was un aware of its activity, had any ob jection to the nature of this acti vity, or was unwilling to act upon the constitution of the organiza tion. It has now become evident that during the year 1946-47 only the constitutional committee of the Student Council had seen the con stitution, that it had never been presented to the full Council, and that IT HAD NEVER BEEN PRE SENTED TO THE FACULTY SENATE. On the basis of these facts I feel justified in maintain ing that you have presented an editorial distortion of the situation, both by condemning the adminis tration for a failure to act, rather than by pointing out the student negligence, and by implying that there is faculty objection to the United World. Fedaralist organi zation. I have seen no evidence that such faculty opposition exists. If, however, any administrative mem ber has any questions concerning the activity of this organization, we would welcome a full investi gation of our beliefs and our pro gram for carrying these beliefs into action. On the other hand, I am inclined to believe that there is student opposition to our or ganization, a . small opposition which has confused our desire to preserve humanity with a desire to destroy democracy, an opposi tion which, motivated by this con fusion, has made an active attempt to delay our membership drive and the formation of plans for our yearly program. I am sincere in saying that we invite to our meet ings any student who questions the purpose of World Federalism, and we shall attempt to clarify the misunderstanding which so obvi ously exists. It is with sincerity that I say that we welcome opposi tion in the form of debate and dis cussion, for it is only by such method that we can discern stu dent opinion and formulate sound policy.

Accordlnx to article II of the Ky .aw invrrnlna Muacni numicninin nu Crossfire By 7orm Leger What a relief to have our mind settled, and now YOU, too, can know what the townspeople in Malvern and Hamburg, la., are conjecturing. Or what residents in Norfolk, Grand Island and Co lumbus have been asking. Just read the Sunday's socigty section of the Omaha World-Herald. It's there, right before your eyes. Misguided us! Here we thought that "outstate" people might be giving thought to Presi dent Truman's idea of volunteer rationing or the ramifications of the Marshall plan. Or even fall elections, and crops. Aren't we ri diculous? We should have guessed that the A No. 1 question with these people is "Are we going to have a countess this year?"' (This is for the Ak-Sar-Ben coronation festivities, something that extends far beyond the interests of Omahans, it says . . .) Not only did we learn what the outstaters are thinking, but also we were informed as to cur rent sorority house speculation in Nebraska and Iowa. For a long time we've deplored this usual preoccupation of sorority women with social life complexities, and now we're glad to learn that their thinking has reached a higher level of "wondering why some of their sisters have been making frequent trips to Omaha." Why, even the housemothers have caught the spirit of the thing and are spending more time trading notes on "their girls" than they are playing bridge. Isn't that just grand? We're so glad that the Ak Sar-Ben , countesses are finally getting the attention which they so deserve. And you girls who arent countesses, needn't sulk, That's what you get for picking the family you did to be born into. Mark of a Question. It's hardly a profound observa tion, but we noted today that a question mark can raise a ques tion. Especially when it's stand ing by itself, painted in blue on a white background. This we saw in the Union today, just a small poster with the Question mark.

The treaty question elicited the most varied answers of all. Com mon conception seemed to be that both houses of congress negotiat ed and terminated treaties with ioreign countries, whereas the resident or his delegated repre sentative draws preliminary treaties that require a two-thirds approval of the senate, not of the bouse. Four students in Temple and School of Music buildings were typical of a large group that im mediately replied. "Ambassador. of course." A bizad sophomore credited treaty-making to the secretary of war, and a pre-law student added, "with the approval of envoys." A pre-med stopped in Bessey Hall reacted with. "Do you mean to ay foreigners learn all that? Golly!" Tabulation on the treaty question: correct, 24; incorrect, 48; didn't know, 8. Piwni rmim Hilar 1-f-aa HmUmm. retttjaha, mm Marttya DUik.

And what did YOU think? A Girl in Greece. You probably don't know Elie Moskidou. But she's like you and me. She wanted an education, too, and proceeded to get one. But the time came when she had to face it: she didn't have the money for her university fees. She did have a wardrobe which consisted of one black dress, one jacket and one pair of shoes. She used to eat in the university club canteen, but had to give that up when she could no longer afford the 20.000 drachmas per month charge. Elie's nineteen, and is studying chem istry. Her sister might have stud ied too, but she died of starvation in 1941, the same year that her father in the Army did. Sob stuff? Sure, but it happens to be fact, too. This story ends well because Elie was given aid by the Reeds. who are in Greece to help ad minister World Student Relief. However, there are many who are not as fortunate as Elie. We'll be pleased if you don't choose to consign the episode to the don't-give-it-a-second-thought department When the campus has its chance to contribute to student relief in November, re membrance of Elie might .make the individual amount of $2.00 and total goal of $13,200 seem more reasonable than over-optimistic.
