It's Up to You . .
The Daily Nebraskan has full confidence in the student
body of Nebraska university. This confidence will be ex
hibited when the students are asked to participate in a
Daily Nebraskan sponsored consitutional assembly.
During the past school year, a great deal of dissatis
faction has been voiced over the Student Council and the
present political situation on the campus. The cry has
gone up that the Council does not truly represent the stu
dent body and that its male members are mere puppets of
an underground political faction.
No one can deny that the Student Council has tried
to carry out projects for the benefit of the entire student
body. Nevertheless, dissatisfaction is still in evidence, Mid
The Daily Nebraskan is out to give the students the chance
to clear up the present situation through its constitutional
assembly.
The assembly cannot be successful without the full
cooperation of all students. Their participation in the
assembly will show whether the average student is really
interested in representative student government. If the
present Student Council constitution is not adequate, the
assembly has the opportunity to draw up a new one, one
which will be satisfactory to all.
The Daily Nebraskan is not trying to appear gallant
in the eyes of the faculty, students or anyone. In fact, it
has been said that Nebraskan is a faction-controlled publi
cation itself. The one and only idea of the Nebraskan is
to give the students a chance to have themselves heard.
In other words, it's up to you. If you, the students,
want a change, the constitutional assembly offers you a
chance to make that change. Your participation in the
assembly will tell the story.
Fritz Simpson.

The United Nations Assembly
opened in New York Wednesday
with the beginning of debate con
cerning the trial of Josef Cardinal
Mindzenty. This debate is ex
pected to start the fireworks be
tween the east and west, namely
United States and Russia.
Whether this battle will be the
final showdown eventually lead
ing into war, nobody is quite sure.
But Russia is not at all pleased
with the Atlantic pact and appears

Although a vast majority
btudent council members are
elected from the colleges in which
they are enrolled, a lew are
chosen from the entire student
body.
One of these

Council consti

mittee is re

passing on the
constitutions of
all campus organizations. It has
just completed an exhaustive sur

survey constitutes a bienniel
check-up.
Miss bievers is enrolled in
Teachers college. She is a for

fare council and a member of
Gamma Phi Beta.
Another senior-at-large is Dick
Johnson, who was incorrectly
listed as a hold-over member.
Representing the women at Ag

McDill serves the Council as
corresponding secretary. In this
capacity she is
responsible for
all Council mail

the absence of
the secretary.

EIGHTY-FOUR persons were
listed as dead as the death toll of
the Illinois hospital fire mounted.
Causes of the fire were still unde

begun, Fire Chief Fred Wilkins
said. Hospital records, the only
ones in the community, were also
lost in the fire.

former Under Secretary of War

"American troops must stay over

Dear Editor:
There appeared in Sunday's "Daily Nebraskan" a Letterip,
signed by Charles Swan, in which he defined, for the elucidation
of the student body, the purpose, aims, and benefits of the All
University Party. Mr. Swan's name is not found on the member
ship rolls of the All-University Party; nor is he a member of any
fraternity on the campus. Where, then, does he find the authority
to speak for the All-University Party, and how can he say that
tthe University "can look for nothing from a faction-dominated
campus government", when the platform and candidates of the All
University Party have not been announced? Obviously Mr. Swan
speaks more from ignorance of the facts than from knowledge.
In the light of Mr. Swan's letter, one might assume that the
Student Party aims only at wresting control of campus offices from
the fraternities. In the first place, the number of independent
students in campus offices proves that there is no faction "monopoly"
of campus offices. In the second place, control of student offices
is certainly no platform on which to base a "political" party. This
platform has been used before and has met only with defeat.
There are other things more important than control of office.
Look at the facts about the "Faction-dominated campus govern
ment. The Student Council, which would seem to be the focus
of Mr. Swan's attack, has, in spite of being dominated by members
of the faction, turned in the best record of any Student Council in
recent times. These are some of its accomplishments:
The best possible solution of the University parking problem
the installation of the street light at 14th and "S"; Ihe investigation
of the high price of tickets to the Military Ball, in the interests' of
the average student's pockctbook; the solution of the Stadium
seating problem; the handling of the displaced students project;
and the defense of the rights of student government in the face of
faculty opposition.
There are many more instances of worthy action taken by the
Student Council, too numerous to mention within the space of
this column.
These things the faction has already done. It will do more
in the future. To what can the Student Party point in its defense?
