The
Union
BY MARILYN MOOMEY
AND HIGH FOLLMER
One of the nicest of
Christmas .season's events was the
traditional Christmas carol con
cert by the University Singers un
der the direction of Dr. Arthur
Westbrook. The lively carols from
other lands were beautifully done.
It's too bad the audience had
to be limited because of the luck
of "facilities having good acoustics.
The music committee deserves a
pat on the back for the splendid

ici, icuay, me iuaeni L-ouncu win go inrougn a com
plicated, time-consuming process of holding a student elec
tion to choose the junior and senior chief executives. Fac
ulty advisers, gtaduate students and Ag Exec Board mem
bers will also play their parts in a "model" Council elec
tion. Students have been urged to go to the polls to show
their interest.
To what end? There is no interest. The majority of
students are not "stimulated" over who plants the ivy. To
create a really "model" election, the prizes to be won must
have some value placed on them.
Juniors and seniors will elect their respective class
presidents today.
Fine!
But how many juniors and seniors know anything about
the students filing (not running) for those offices? How
many know ,why these students are filing? Furthermore,
how many care? Probably "very few" would answer all
the ithrpp finest inns.
Is there any way for the students to know why candi
dates are filing? Yes, there are two ways. According to the
Student Council constitution, a candidate may have four,
and only four, handmade posters displayed on his behalf.
And the Daily Nebraskan "shall publish" impartial infor
mation about each candidate prior to election day.
So the Daily Nebraskan has done its job, in keeping
with the Council constitution. Monday's issue carried a story
containing the names of 15 candidates and their colleges.
I That's as far as it could go without being partial. Some
Tonight the Student Union might even think that listing the colleges is overstepping
the an
car the
e un
dergone a complete reorganiza
tion. The program for the evening
lias been planned to inform all the
workers of the inner workings of
the Union's system. Dr. Arndt has
kindly consented to take time out
from the drudtery (?) of trying
to knock some learning into stu
dents' heads to be the speaker of
the evening. Par exccllance serv
ice will be given at the buffet
table by those highly experienced

Varied quarters of the campus have offered suggestions ?till aruinrt ovcr who ,vill 'bc

one is still invited to come join
the fun.
Due to the shortage of weekends
between Thanksgiving and Christ
mas, the Christmas open house
will be held Tuesday, Dec. 13.
Everybody is always talking about
the good old Christmnses of yes
teryear, so Bob Russell, as chair
man of the special activities com
mittee has planned to set things
back many years.

should help plan the Junior-Senior prom. Another suggests
that they sponsor a continuation of class gifts to the Uni
versity now found in "old" campus in the form of contri
butions to the building of a new School of Music, the Stu
dent Union addition, etc. Another asks that the senior class
president take an active part in commencement exercises,
leading the class processional and instituting the singing
of the Alma Mater song at the event. Still another suggests
that the officers call the classes together to formulate senior
and junior opinion on certain topics.
These are not infallible suggestions. Investigation might
prove them to be unworthy. But thev are suggestions. They
are steps in bringing a new responsibility a new meaning
to the officerships.

bounds. The Daily Nebraskan did make an attempt to con
tact candidates and ask them all exactly the same questions.
The first person called .could not be reached, so the entire
idea was abandoned. It would be partial to print the re
marks of a few if all candidates could not speak their piece.
If this is the way elections will continue to run at Ne
braska, we might as well forget the whole matter and con
tinue in our same old rut. It has certainly been the easy way
out. But there has been enough criticism of the Council con
stitution's "gag rules" on election publicity to warrant a
change. We understand that the Council has set up a com
mittee to study Article IV, the article in question. We also
understand that the committee has not started functioning
as yet. Action on the matter is long overdue.
So we make an urgent appeal to the Student Council
to work over its constitutional restrictions, now, and come
up with something that is at least reasonable. A little pub
licity and campaigning may result in a class officer who has
the fire to make the office one of importance and leadership
instead of one which merely means activity points and ivy
planting.
