Unwritten Policy . . .
Questions have been pouring into the office as to
what The Daily Nebraskan is going to do about the presi
dential election and wh'at sort of stand we are going to
take.
There is an unwritten law on this publication that the
editorial columns do not advocate the election of a par
ticular candidate in national, state, county or city elections,
so as not to create any misunderstanding as to University
backing of a certain candidate.
The University is supported by tax-payers of all po
litical affiliations and so cannot support any political
candidates. Therefore, The Daily Nebraskaan, since it is
the only official publication allowed by the University
and the only official channel for University news, cannot
support any particular political candidates. This does not,
however, prevent comment on the actions of any candidates.
Although this unwritten policy exists as far as edi
torial comment is concerned, The Daily Nebraskan letterip
c&lumns are open to any student who wishes to express
opinion or support of candidaates.

As the fifth week of school gets
underway, the annual coke and
blind date period is-slowly draw
ing to a close. Each year a mad
attempt to meet members of the
opposite sex results in endless
coke dates and frantic switching
at hour dances.
This year's first month may go
on record as having the fastest
results to date. To rave campus
fellas and girls the trouble of try
ing to arrange dates and finding
the desired parties already en
tangled, this column will be de
voted for one day only to bring
ing the student body up to date
as to two-somes existing at the
present lime.
Steadies Pat Boyd and Terry
Rankin took the fatal step Sun
day after a week-end of careful
consideration. By so doing. Perry
lost a $12 bet, but says Pat is
worth it.
Three hours after this column
goes to press. Marge Sapleton and
Dick OIne will pass the candy and
cigars respectively. Although
childhood sweethearts, the two
have spent a platonic college life
up until Saturday, Otc. 2, when
they became secretly pinned.
A lot more happened at Boulder
than just a football game. An
other Sweetheart of Sigma Chi
was born namely EKza Venable.
New pinmate is Don Sams, C.U.
boy. Alpha Phi sisters gave
Eliza a 11:30 ceremony upon her
return Sunday night, complete
with candles and their unmatched
rendition of . their sweetheart
song.
Fanfare ! ! ! After three tedi
ous years of devotion, Bobby
Bush and Si Markeson became
pinned over the week-end. They
explain the delay by saying they
were sure they were past the
succeptable stage.
Doris Levenson and Marty
llaykin are a steady couple of
long standing. However, a pinning
may soon take place if Marty
heeds the telegram which he re
ceived the night of his initiation.
It read, "Be fair and share that
pin with Doris."
You, too, can have a pin, ring
or bracelet, according to Ruth
HorwiU and Audrey Rosenbaum,
if you j6in the "Help One An
other Club." The girls have
agreed not to smile at one an
other's dates at the coming
S.D.T. party. This way they're
sure to have a free hand.

(Ed Note: This article is reprinted from a pamphlet called
Communism Exposed, published by the United States Cham
ber of Commerce.)
There are not many communists in the United States.
G'ving them all due credit for skill and energy, they would
still be rather harmless if they worked openly. But they
do not work openly. They are experts ata lying and de
ceiving. The result is that they use people many times
their own numbers. What is more, many of these people
are powerful and influential.
There are two main lines of Communist success in
the United States today. The first is the formation of
"front" organizaations. The second is boring into, or in
filtrating, respectable groups. Thus, Communists bore into
the labor movement, the press, radio and the movies.
A "front" organization is a group which is apparently
respectable, but which was aactually organized and is
currently controlled by Communists. Such a group works
for high-sounding aims: peace, democraacy or social re
form. It collects prominent people as sponsors who are
taken in by its program. It uses them to collect money and
get prestige. Then it cleverly twists the group into a coice
for some particular Communist policy.
There are hundreds of such front organizations in
the United States. Among the fronts which deal with gen
eral problems are the Progressive Citizens of America,
the Civil Rights Congress, and the National Council of
American -Soviet Friendship. Those aiming at special groups
include the National Negro Congress; American Youth for
Democracy; and the Congress of American Women. But
there are others for religion, atomic scientists, farmers,
consumers, business-men and others. Moreover, there are
fronts which specialize in one phase or other of our for
eign policy.
Front organizations can do much damaage. This is
especially the case where Communists have a definite pro
gram and the average citizen does not care much about
the situation. The result is much hue and cry on one side
of an issue and silence about the other side. Then com
mentators, government departments, and Congressmen
are stampeded into following the Communist policy.
Good examples of that were our former bad foreign
policies in Germany, China and Argentina. Front groups
manufactured opinion for policies which may cost us bil
lions of dollars and might even lose the next war, should
we be unable to avoid it. In each case the Communist pol
icies cost us allies in vital areas, needed for our security.
Here is where deceit, rather than numbers brought
great victories for soviet policy.
