100?
Ha!
"We are 100 percent for the students." -So say the
athletic department and the administration time and time
again.
That may -be true, but the facts do not always hold
up this statement.
After the' first football game when there was such a
mix-up in the double selling of seats in the stadium, when
students found non-student spectators occupying their
seats because they also had tickets for those seats, students
were assured that this double sale would not happen again
that it was a mistake that would be corrected.
However, at the Notre Dame last Saturday, the same
problem presented itself. Students arrived at the game
only to find their seats already occupied. Both the stu
dents and non-students occupying the seats had tickets for
the very same seats.
Men's Residence Hall members especially have ex
pressed indignation over the fact that a large part of their
block of seats had been sold to the general public. These
students were forced to sit on the stairways while general
public ticket holders held seats in the Residence Hall block.
At the first game, this was excused in part by the fact
that there was such a general mix-up on the whole ticket
sale program and seating arrangement. This excuse was
generally accepted by the student body. However, evi
dently no move was made to correct this mistake and the
same thing happened again. WHY?

Vote Today . . .
The University of Nebraska's traditional Military Ball
once more will officially open the social season this year.
Along with the Military Ball is the presentation of the
1948-'49 Honorary Colonel who will be the sponsor of the
ROTC regiment for the entire school year.
Today, University students have an opportunity to
help select this year's Honorary Colonel. Final selection
will be made by members of the Cadet Officers association,
but the officers will make their choice from a group of six j
girls who receive the most votes in today s all-campus elec
tion. The election is being conducted by the Student Coun
cil in the Union from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. today. Student
Council validated ballots will be used.
Since the ball is an official university function, the
election of the Honorary Colonel is an important one. The
person elected should be representative of University coeds.
So, if you have a choice, vote today!

Highlights and sidelights of the
week-end:
Sidelight 'Twas especially dark
and smoky at the Hills Saturday.
Due to this fact and one rhumba
too many, Tom McVay and Pat
Lambert were auite unprepared
for the bright lights and steps
outside. Result was a beautiful
tailspin causing quite a sensation.
Despite a strenuous game in the
afternoon, Saturday night was a
good party night. Striking couples
of the evening were Jan Nutzman
and Stu Tangeman, Charli Colli
son and Sam Stroup, Ruth Bach
elor and Sid Salzman.
'Laud Alma Mater.
Crowd of note .was the Cedar
Rapids Gang who made them
selves known at spaced intervals
through their old school songs.
Sidelight The Royal Grove
was the site of many reminis
cences Saturday night. Telling
war stories were Dick Elliot and
Bill Carpnell who played "pilot
to navigator' games all night and
turned the old grove into a regu
lar B-17.
An interesting observation on
og this week is that'Gwenie Mon
son prefers holding As Exec
board meetings in the vicinity of
Havelock cemetery. Gwen insists
she merely holds freshmen ori
entation classes there. At any rate,
it's her favorite "haunt."

Dear Editor:
Reading the Daily Nebraskan of the 14th and 15th of October,
I see that the old battle between Gene Berman and "his friends" is
starting all over again, though I was surprised that "his friends"
were driven to tears and had to resort to sarcasm. If Mr. "U. S.
Citizen" would only take the trouble to read the letter of the 14th
correctly, he would surely know that Uncle Joe has no cause for
happiness as the letter reeks of anti-communism. Since Mr. "U. S.
Citizen" professes to be an' anti-communist, what may I ask is he
doing to curb the spread of communism? May I here remind him,
and I quote, "being an anti-communist is not enough." Let me
give him an example: Through big money the price of rubber
from Malaya is controlled by the American government. Many
estates had to close because the price asked could not meet the
cost cf production due to the high cost of living in Malaya, result
ing in unemployment and labor troubles. Are not such economic
problems the breeding grounds of communism?
I quote here from FORTUNE magazine, "If the U. S. lets the
rubber markets to to pieces kiss Malaya goodby." Once Malaya
"mint mah julip" four weary war j is in communist hands the result will be 'hat the freeport of Singa
veterans returned from their in- pore will not longer be available to Amen.n fchinnine. the imrwrtanrr
need not be stressed here.
This is only one example, of how America is failing to fight
communism with a constructive program. The government of the
American Lesion convention butjij. S. is rather causing the rise of communism in the Far East. One
lost some of their patriotic spirit . ,. ,. . ., . . . , ,
cn the wav and week-ended in i might xvell question the American aid to Chiang Kai-shek, with
Memphis. jits imperialistic motives and the non-support of the China Demo-
Chi O pledces made retribution cratic League, as well as the entire disregard of the Indonesian
Monday night Cause their skit. Ind cpcndencc Movement. About China, Mr. Westendorf would only
a take-off on the actives, present- I ,
ed at an "Owl Feast"' Saturday. 10 jeau me nag oi a lew aays 10 discover wnat students in
China are thinking on the above as told by Dr. Lu of the w.S.S.F.
What the American citizen may ask is, does the American for
eign policy, which should directly concern him, follow a construc
tive program that leaves no need for communism? Each American
citizen has a voice in his Government and it is up to each in
dividual to make his voice heard.
I have one more question to ask. "Can we have a peaceful
world when one half of Ihis earth is in turmoil?"
Respectfully sumbitted,

Dear Editor:
Very early in the semester the Daily Nebraskan splashed across
! greatly improved this semester. The audacity of such a misstate-
ment was not enough, your article wer:t on to explain how this
'situation was improved by the mere addition of 400 parking stalls
, and the issuance of paiking permits. Now everyone has a park
j ing permit regardless whether they are authorized one or not, re
gardless whether they live, eight blocks from the campus, or twenty
' eight blocks.
Wednesday, October 13. the scooter poking area contained tix
scotters; students promptly puiked in these available stalls and woe
promptly tagged for a violation in that they were parked in the
scooter area. Another six scooters and motorcycles were scattered
across the campaus in various parking stalls and on red lines. These
vehicles were untagged as could be expected. Likewise cars were
tagged for backing into stalls;, if there was a traffic hazard created
by this procedure, a violation would be warranted. However, no
traffic hazard is created by the student who turns around in the
sniddleof the block in order to be headed into a parking stall cor
rectly, none in the least. Vet the irony of the whole situation is
revealed in Thursday's Daily Nebraskan with the publication of
what may happen to the offenders when they do receive a parking
ticket, aln.oEt a full month after the issuance of parking permits.
Could it be that no definite procedure had been decided upon until
then, that this improved parking system was merely a futile, last
minute attempt to solve this problem?
Numerous voices have been raised as to why the Mall in front
of the Coliseum could not be used for parking. Two rows of dia
gonal parking stalls could be arranged down the rnidle of the Mall,
another lane of diagonal parking arrayed toward each curb. The
present system of parking facing the Mall could be retained. Of
course, the addition of these parking stalls ould be of no benefit
to the paiking situation for the football games, Military Eall, and
other social functions at the Coliseum. It is much better to park
four lanes of cars along the campus streets for such occasions; it
is much better to pour an endless stream of concrete for new tide
walks i,i3n to solve this pitiful situation.
Respectfully,
Don J. Christie
