Future NU Cagers . . .
We've got visitors!
They're high school athletes and pep club members
from all over the state.
They're on the campus for the annual state prep basket
ball tournament taking place in the Coliseum this week-end.
Representing 32 teams in four classes, the cagers are
the victors in tough pre-tournament play throughout the
Nebraska high school circuit. They are being watched by
their home towns, by their district rivals and by the public
and press as a whole.
Coming on the heels of our recent Big Seven basket
ball victories, the prep cagers' presence is especially sig
nificant to us, too. For the high school students are the
college athletes of the future. Upon them will be placed
further Big Seven title hopes.
Realizing this, the Student Foundation will carry on
its traditional basketball party for the prep visitors, enter
taining the high school students at a party in the Union
ballroom tomorrow afternoon. Co-operating in the event
will be Corn Cobs, Tassels, N club and cheerleading squad,
as well as athletic department officials.
Informally, the party hosts will stress the "Cornhusker
spirit" that certainly prevails on the campus with the win
ning of three Big Seven titles. They will seek to merge the
many colors of the high school teams and pep groups into
a solid Scarlet and Cream.
The chance that graduates of this 39th annual state
basketball tournament may someday boost Cornhusker
stock that surely is enough to turn campus attention to
tourney play in the Coliseum.

Saying .

On the campus scene are
many weary travelers who, tired
but happy, gave KC a whirl fol
lowing the big game Wednesday
night. Guess the Delts and Taus
went en masse.
Hope they all recover for an
other impressive NU week-end.
After a quick look at the social
calendar we find:

Enter Early It's To Your Advantage
Dear Editor:
We would like to explain the qualifications for membership in
Mortar Board and the conditions under which the Mortar Boards
for 1949-50 will be chosen.
The national basis for membership is leadership, scholarship
and service. Leadership, we interpret to mean possessing those quali
ties which result in democratic and constructive leadership in some
outstanding way on the campus. Scholarship, closely related to
leadership, means having at least a 6 weighted average. Service to
the University as a whole and to fellow students is the third stand
ard for judgment. A unanimous vote of the active chapter based
on these three qualifications is required for membership in Mortar
Board.
Leadership and service especially require sincerity and honesty
of endeavor to make them worthwhile. We feel as we have state'd
in this column before, that block voting and similar action is unfair
nd dishonest. We ask all women to consider these points when they
vote in the general women's elections today. Serious consideration
of them and of the qualities of the individual girls is essential to a
good quality of campus leadership and endeavor.
Sincerely,
The 1949 members of the Black Masque Chapter of Mortar Board
Dear Editor: On behalf of
the student committee represent
ing the professional and honor
ary societies on the campus, I
wish to express our sincere ap
preciation to The Daily Nebras
kan staff for the fine co-opera
tion our group has received in
trying to establish a workable
policy covering adequately and
accurately news of general inter
est concerning our societies.
We feel assured that the staff
will do its best to co-operate with
the various publicity committees.
We desire continual comment on
what is newsworthy and what is
not and why.
Finally, we wish to emphasize

BY BRUCE KENNEDY.
SENATOR KENNETH Wherry
was named as being the man re
sponsible for initiating the com
promise in the senate on the fili
buster. His motion, which he
has been pushing since Saturday,
will cut off debate on any sub
ject, even a motion, by getting
64 votes. But if a further rules
change were attempted there
could be unlimited debate.
The administration termed
Wherry's plan an "unholy alli
ance" of republicans and south
erns. This proposal will no doubt
make almost impossible passage
of Truman's civil lights program.
A RISING belief of a Yugo
slavian revolution came out of
the Tito regime Wednesday. Re
ports from Yugoslavia indicate
that there are numerous little
domestic difficulties in the coun
try. These may means the be
ginning of a revolution.
PRESIDENT Truman will
have a tough decision to make
when he returns from a Florida
vacation He will either with
draw the nomination of Mon C.
Wallgren for head of the Na
tional Security Resources Board
or pick a fight with congress.
Wallgren's appointment was
tabled by the senate.
that it shall be the sole respon
sibility for the various societies
to get news to Miss Ruth Ann
Sandstedt, bulletin editor, or the
designated box in the Union base
ment. If any particular society
has any grievance, the publicity
chairman should contact Miss
Sandstedt to determine a satisfac
tory siluWon to both parties.
Sincerely,
Donald H. Temme.
Dead Editor: Longitudinally,
horizontally, cross-sect ionally, any
way you choose to look at it,
our campus political situation is a
mess! Student blames student,
student blames faculty, and vice
versa. What is the difficulty?
Who is at fault?
Perhaps a large part of the cor
ruption which exists is due to
determinent un-coope ration, but
I can't help but feel that to a
much greater degree, the unfor
tunate situation ensues because
of misunderstanding on the part
of both students and faculty.
In an effort to clear up many
misconceived ideas and attitudes
and to elevate the political con
dition in general, the YMCA is
sponsoring a round-table dis
cussion featuring people who are
in the thick of campus politics
Thursday evening in the Temple
lounge to which everyone is in
vited. Here is our chance to really
find out what "the wheels" have
to say on the subject, "The Fu
ture of Campus Organizations."
"To be or not to be, that is the
question." May the place be
packed, arid may the questions
asked and the answer offred
help to promote better and more
peaceful campus politics.
Sincerely,
HAROLD NEBELSICK.
