NEW ATTITUDE . . .
A common sense attitude toward campus elections is
needed.
Instead of regarding the results of student balloting
as a secret which must be divulged only to the fewest num
ber of people, the student council election committee should
realize that election results are a matter of public interest
and should be publicized without hesitancy.
Along with an about face in the matter of releasing
election results, the council elections committee has a por
tion of its rightful duty still to perform in the most recenl
election.
When the Dai'y Nebraskan made an effort to get a com
plete tabulation of all votes cast for all candidates in al
of the various divisions of the election, those results were
unavailable. Information coming to this office indicates
that the council failed to count ballots for offices which ap
peared to be sewed up due to the filing of only two or three
men for two or three offices.
Write-in votes went disregarded beacuse of this attitude.
Of course it is doubtful that any candidate received enough
write-in votes to oust one of the candidates whose names
appeared on the ballot, but on the basis of public interest
and a complete discharge of its election duties, the council
should wind up the ballot counting.
The entire election machinery could stand an overhaul
ing. The filings were a source of continual disturbance to
the university officials and to the council election commit
tee. Several would-be candidates were disqualified because
they filled out their applications incorrectly.
Several of the questions on the application blanks were
open to double interpretation and were the immediate cause
of the absence of some candidates names.
The attitude of university authorities on the su eject of
releasing complete election results is difficult to understand
Any student with the intention of gaining an office should
be ready to accept publication of the results, whether he
wins or loses.

Curtis Aggies to Prepare
For Boys Ranch Camp
Fifteen youngsters have already
made reservations to attend the
Boys Ranch camp to be held at
the University of Nebraska School
of Agriculture here next June 21
July 31, Supt. K. K. Dduthit said.
The camp is held mainly to
give boys living in large towns
and cities an introduction to farm
and ranch life.
Dear Editor,
The question has been raised by
students (particularly those who
have had work at other schools):
"Why doesn't the Blue Print put
out as large a magazine with as
wide coverage as does, for exam
ple, the Iowa Transit or the Min
nesota Technolog?
A magazine like the Blue Print
needs at least 10 pages a month
for regular features, oucn a ma
gazine also needs 10 or 12 pages
for advertising. If the magazine
has 24 pages total, only 2 to 4
pages are left for original stu
dent articles.
If we were to Ret more adver
tising, we would have to devote
more space to advertising The
onl sare way U increase the
space riven over to original edi
torial material is to increase we
revenue from subscriptions.
This vear. if students are will
ing, they can have a magazine
consisting of as much as 40 pages
each issue, 18 pages of which is
new material, by supporung our
proposal for a 75-cent fee. to be
collected each semester from all
men registered in the engineering
college. Mr. Colbert has assured
us that the fee will be paid by the
government in the case of students
attending school under the two
veterans' bills.
In answer to another question
that has come up several times,
the Blue Print offers no direct fi
nancial reward to its staff mem
bers. Blue Print awards consist of
keys (presented at the annual En
gineers' Banquet) and bound vol
umes. Other advantages than those re
sulting from a larger and more
comprehensive magazine may be
noted. Such things as having the
circulation staff work efficiently
from the start of the semester will
iron out the troubles experienced
this year in getting their maga
zines to some of our subscribers
on time. I should note that we
plan to continue our policy of
mailing each issue to all sub
scribers. Wayne B. Swift
