The Candidates Nobody Wants
Despite the fact that a very large segment
of the American population does not want them,
the professional politicians believe that Taft and
Truman will be the presidential nominees of
their respective parties In 1952.
That was what Marquis Childs told the na
tional conference of the Associated Collegiate Press
i Pittsburgh, T?a'., which I attended last week.
Childs, one of the more fair-minded column
ists, is author of "Washington Calling," a column
which appears daily in newspapers throughout
the country. Washington correspondent for the
United Features syndicate since 1944, he previously
worked for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
- Childs said that the Eisenhower boom was
partially an outgrowth of popular revulsion at
the prospect of a Taft-Truman contest. Childs
said that a Taft or Truman, nomination would
be an indication that government had been taken
from the hands of the average citizen and placed
in control of the professional politician. As a
remedy, Childs suggested giant petitions ad
dressed to the respective national conventions
next year, urging that some other candidates be
nominated.
Who would some of the other "better" can
didates be? Childs suggested Paul Hoffman, and
Gov. Earl Warren on the republican side, and,
Sen. Paul Douglas, Sen. Estes Kefauver, and Gov.
Adlal Stevenson for the democrats. Childs was
quick to point out, however, that some of these
men would have practically no chance to win
the nominations.

QrL jJoiidsudcuui
What will be the campaign issues of 1952?
Childs outlined them thus:
For the republicans
l."Trumanlsm" and evidences of widespread
corruption In government will be attacked bit
terly.
t. The great spending and heavy taxes passed
during the Truman administration will be as
sailed. 8. The charges that American foreign policy
In Asia led to the fall of China and the Korean
war will be loudly proclaimed.
For the democrats
1. The democrats will point with pride to
their achievement in European foreign policy.
They will also attempt to pin the isolationist tag
on the republicans.
Z. The blatant assertions of Sen. Joe McCar
thy will be roundly denounced.
S. The prosperity which came under the
democrats will be praised, and a depression pre
dicted If the republicans win.
As a sidelight, Childs commented that Jesse
Jones' latest book, which refers to F.D.R. as a
"ruthless politician," contained "lots of Jesse Jones
and not so much history."
If General Eisenhower runs, he will run as a
republican, Childs said. There are three questions
about the Eisenhower candidacy which are being
widely asked in Washington, Childs said. These
, . . .. ' . ... .ticularly new or startling. He did define some of
1. Will Eisenhower run if he is nominated? , ' , , x,
Childs said little in hia speech which is par-
Answer He will run, but only as a republi
can, because he has indicated in the past that
his sympathies are with the republican domestic
policies.
2. Does Eisenhower want to be president?
Answer No, but he feels that he may be
forced to run in order to carry out a program
which he believes will be best for America. To
do so, Eisenhower may openly state that he will
run. It is a subject of debate whether Eisenhower
can obtain the nomination in the face of Taft's
"professional" support.
3. What part will General MacArthur play in
the republican nomination?
Answer MacArthur does not want the
nomination himself but will probably support
Taft. The former Asian commander is opposed
to Elsenhower's views, particularly on the ques
tion of where America's defense line lies in
Europe or in Asia.
the issues so clearly that I thought it might be
worth while to write them for the readers of The
Daily Nebraskan. Childs seemed to lean strongly
toward an Eisenhower candidacy, in an effort to
get rid of some of the professional politicians
now in government.
His proposal for giant petitions to the na
tional convention might be well worth consider
ation. If they could be obtained, the delegates
might be loath to nominate someone who was
not obviously the popular choice. They might
be able to stop the choice of the candidates no
body seems to want.

dear editor . . .
Faculty and fellow students:
AUF is in the last week of its
drive. Two thousand dollars must
be raised in five days to reach
our $5,000 goal. Honorary, organ
ization, denomination and sorority
divisions have excelled in their
contributions, but other divisions
lag pitifully behind. The fratern
lty and unorganized student
groups have reached only one
tenth of their goal, faculty, one.
organized houses have but one.
half of expected receipts. Have
we too little that we can't give
to those wno have nothing?
Each one of you must be aware
of the need of your money. Forty
cents of your dollar will be given
to the Lincoln Community Chest
which partially supports such
agencies as the campus YM and
YWCA's from which you benefit
nine months of the year. Thirty
five cents will go into a scholar
ship for some Greek student of
agriculture who is perhaps a TB
victim, who has scarce food, in
adequate shelter and threadbare
clothing.
Students must share materially
and intellectually with their needy
contemporaries throughout the
world. Ten cents of every dollar
will go to the University of Ne
braska Medical college for re
search purposes in the dread dis
ease, cancer. Campus TB X-ray
services and public education on
TB control will receive ten cents
of each dollar.
AUF is protecting you, the stu
dent, from excessive soliciting
from charitable organizations. Ac
cept the privilege of being a citi
zen of a free, democratic country.
Live up to your responsibilities
as an adult and contribute to
AUF. A cartoon of cigarettes will
provide six meals for an European
student.
Sincerely yours,
SARA FULTON,
President, All University Fund.

Sunbathing, Turf Burning Make News
On Tennessee, California Campuses
A new type of commie charge was brought
against a Tennessee college. The president of the
American Sunbathing society, charged Bethel col-
lege in Tennessee with "aiding the communists
by firing a professor discovered to be a nudist."
The sunshine oficial stated, "...An out-and-out
case of intolerance. If the school officials hadn't
made an issue of it, nobody would have known
tha"t the professor was a nudist."
The following item was stolen from the,
"Accent on Campus" from the Daily Californian.
"Down on the Redskin farm a couple of
Palo Alto boys Initiated Big Game activities
Just a wee bit early. With the fervor of four old
Cal alumni they burned a 60 -foot C in the turf
of the Stanford stadium, igniting a pile of wood
stashed neatly away for the pre-Big Game
rally."'
' The boys' whoopla may have been fun at
the time, but it landed three of them in jail
for a 30-day sentence and one lad 'rested' in
jail for IS days.

The members of the sororities served lunches to

They also show greater improvement in

Oh well, girls we can still out-talk them!
The University of California needed a little
more interest in its student elections. Instead,
of the usual "Please-vote-in-the-next-election"
signs, they are thinking of something new.
The elections council and the Flying club
"have hatched a scheme which may produce a
small plane buzzing the campus advertising a
'get the hell out and vote' slogan."

General Eisenhower might not te a great
president, but he would probably be good presi

least five southern states, were he the nominee,
Childs said. Truman would not back Eisenhower
for the democratic nomination, Childs said. In
Football Success Formula
The University of Arkansas found the key to
football success last week.
Gov. Sidney McMath signed a proclamation
ordering the Razorback gridders to defeat Texas'
Longhorns in their football game Saturday. Experts
guffawed at the gesture, because Texas supposedly
had a powerhouse and Arkansas had had a very
mediocre season. When the shouting was all over,
the experts found that Arkansas had beaten Texas
18-14 in a stunning upset.
Maybe Gov. Val Peterson has the key to Ne
braska's shaky gridiron fortunes. Maybe he should

The four of us who went to the collegiate press
convention in Pittsburgh journeyed out to see
Carnegie Tech's homecoming displays last Friday
night. We were amazed at what we saw.
The homecoming displays were very pretty
and some of them were very elaborate. But
that wasn't What caught our eyes. Everybody
marching around to see the various displays
had either a cup, paper cup or beer stein in his
or her hand. We went Inside most of the 11
organized houses on campus and discovered
that each of them had a bar in its 'basement,
serving beer to all comers. In each of the houses,
there was a party. The funny thing was that
most of the parties were relatively quiet.
and on special occasions. He said that the reason
ing behind these open bars was that if a student
is going to drink, he might as well do it at home
as out in some night club or "joint." He said the
' powers-that-be reasoned that a prohibition on
drinking wouldn't really stop many people who
really wanted a drink.
This reasoning seemed to work pretty well.
None of the parties I saw in Pittsburgh were
really wild. For the most part, they were rela
tively mild affairs in which the students were
singing, dancing or talking.
Here at Nebraska, drinking is "verboten." But
everybody knows that it goes on. This leads to
an interesting question: Does prohibition really
prohibit?
No Candidates, No Election
The class offices are now weak. They could
be made strong,
The first three days of class officer filings
have produced the following results:
Junior officers Four candidates for four dif
ferent offices.
Senior officers Two candidates each for presi
dent and vice-president, one candidate each for
secretary and treasurer.
Unless someone else decides to file for these
offices, the one-candidate elections will not be
held. An election isn't an election with only one
candidate. Obviously, an election requires two
candidates. If there Is but one, the elections will
bo invalid.
A number of people have viewed the situation
regarding class spirit with alarm. They complain
about the fact that the school never does anything.
These class officer filings offer an opportunity for
the chronic complainer to do something about the for. Maybe the stadium will again go crazy in the
situation. not too distant future.
The Stadium Went Crazy
Much has been said in the past about the
lack of spirit at Cornhusker football games. Ad
mittedly it could be better.
We went to the Notre Dame-Pittsburgh foot
ball game at Pitt Stadium last Saturday. Compared
to the cheering at Pitt, Nebraska's yelling section
sounds like a roaring mob. Pittsburgh stadium was
about as quiet, even during exciting plays, as a
movie theater during a dull show. Occasionally,
there were Bmall outbursts, but the cheerleaders
made most of the noise.
Nebraska's spirit isn't all it could be. But for
a long time, the fans didn't have much to cheer
