If You're 21. ...
Today is election day.
For weeks we've been hearing campaigns by Women's
Voting leagues, civic organizations and all kinds of com
munity, state and national groups to "get out the votes."
TheyYe been coming out with some pretty good pamphlets
and articles praising "our American heritage" and wav
ing tha American flag. In the midst of these abstract
writings the thought behind them is highly commendable.
But in this age, it's not enough just to flaunt the
word "democracy" and the phrase "right to vote" around.
Since we are living now more than ever in a world of
realities, let's examine some of the popular phrases and
see, in concrete examples, why we should vote today, if
we're 21.
First, why should we care who runs the government?
Certainly we don't have to sell ourselves on democracy.
We surelv prefer living in a country where we can be stu
dents at the University of
htr wrnnt m as individuals,
would just as soon choose our job when we graduate from
the University, and we certainly don't mind living where
we can be members of local organizations such as American j
Legion, Kotary, tne iaiua,
tainry enjoy beiCg able to choose where we plan to spend
Thanksgiving vacation whether it involves travel or not
And above all we obviously want to join the church of our
own choice. The University this week is exercising one of
the foremost meanings of the word "democracy" in its
Religion-in-Life Week. You know, in Russia the Commu
nists have tried for 30 years either to destroy religion or
when unable to do this, use it from the inside. None of us
object too heartily to privileges we enjoy, and these are
only a few examples of the meaning of democracy.
But most of us realize this, either in a tangible or in
tangible way. The great problem is to convince each citi- j
zen, not only on tnis campus,
try. that his Vote in an election IS important. At the Uni- j
' rrViTT ,W 9 AArt cnnro xihn r 1
versity, there are roughly about 2,000 students who are
voting citizens, that is they are 21 5ears of age or over.
If each possessed the attitude that his vote carries no
significance, we could automatically knock off 2,000 votes
in the state elections. And in Nebraska that would take a
considerable hunk out of the poll attendance. Multiplying
the number of votes this University holds by the number
all other colleges and universities have, one accumulates
a tremendous voting power. But this power is built up by
one vote here and one vote there. All citizens certainly
can't take the attitude that his vote is useless or we'd no
longer have a representative government.
Dictators have discovered the physical force of great
masses of DeoDle. Democracies must discover and release
tha intellectual and moral forces that reside in the people.
Jesus built a religion out of the wisdom of plain people by
turning homely experier.ee into devotion, faith, hope and
good work. American founders instituted the greatest re- j
public of all time on the conviction that people could rule '
themselves better than kings could rule for them. Horace
Mann laid the foundations of the world's noblest system ,
in the ambition of the common people to improve them-
selves. Release the power that is in the people and out of a
great people will come an abundance of great and inspired
leaders. But all human institutions, including government,
must be born anew in the hearts and minds of each gener
ation, including our own
Today Nebraskans are choosing their governor, all
state officials, four congressmen, 43 legislators and non
partisan officials. Several propositions also appear on the
ballots. It's not easy to know the truth and there is always
the possibility that the citizen will make mistakes in his
judgement, but he can at least make sure that he is honest
and sincere in his attempt to get at the truth. By holding
the title of being a voting citizen, you have just right to
criticize any government official about whom you don't
approve. Neglect your share of voting, and you'd better
lay off the criticizing angle.
One author spoke well in an article urging 3roung men
and women to vote when he wrote:
"You have become a sovereign citizen. You are the
sonroe of the authority of our government You have upon
your shoulders the preservation of this great boon of
freedom and opportunity for which others have paid so
clearly. If you do not appreciate the importance of this
sovereign privilege, if you do not exercise it and exercise it
wisely, it will be lost and the age-long cycle of confusion
and suffering will be once more ahead.'
Today is election day. j. k.
To tfat Editor:
Tha Daily Nebratkan is, of course, concerned with students
Intelligently exercising their voting rights. But it naturally cannot
speak in behalf of any one political party. In this our newspaper
is like many students and faculty members who vote regardless
of party lines.
But all of us are interested Sn education. We should urge
atudenta, faculty and alumni to vote today to vote informed on
issues which affect our University.
The fact is well known that one candidate for Congress from
this district, Mr. Miles as former mayor of Lincoln has long been
a strong friend of education. What is not so weD known, but what
an informed electorate should know, is the record of Mr. Miles in
these matters.
In the past several years, Mr. Curtis has voted against every
ona of the following bilk supported by the American Association of
Land Grant Colleges, American Council on Education, the National
Xducation Association and similar groups: fl) International ex
change of teachers and students, (2) Loans for student and faculty
housing, (S) UNESCO, ii) The National Science Foundation and
15) Control of atomic energy by civilian scientists and adminis
trators. Such an anti-education record speaks for itself. Let us vote
intelligently for better education today.
Sincerely yours.
