During the campaign, which featured several appear ances on campus by important candidates, The Daily Nebraskan gave many inches of space to political ners. The Nebraska felt it was im portant that the complete election story be brought before the student body. Several people have criticized the paper for taking stands on the candidates, the staff felt should be elected. They said a school paper had no right to take stands. This is a school newspaper; The Ne braskan staff is convinced that a school news paper should be more than a bulletin board where organizations announce their meetings. We are trying to encourage student interest in the freedoms the constitution guarantees them. We commend Vrr. YW-YMCA for also working in this behalf. T-I txusrrcOULPNTDOfT were elected. The Daily Nebraskan wishes to give the heart iest congratulations to everyone connected with the Y's. election program. Co-chairmen, Syvia Krasne and Marvin Stromer, worked many hours to provide the campus with the first University mock election since 1932. Truly, it was a success ful endeavor. Students were not the only ones interested in the results of the election. The Daily Nebraskan received many calls from campaign managers of different candidates wanting the results for last minute speeches before the state went to the polls for the regulation preferential primary Tuesday. Sen. Estes Kefauver, after speaking in a Y-sponsored panel discussion Monday after noon, waited for the early results of the campus election before leaving to keep a loaded list of appointments. City newspapers and national wire services sent the story to readers over the state and region. When a University-sponsored event can raise so much excitement outside of the cam pus, the school should be proud of the students and organizations responsible. hour, horns honking and the students cheering. It was like a big college party, with the doors wide open so that everyone could watch. We countetd 25 persons hanging onto one con vertible, the fenders were just inches from the street. Cars stopped in the main intersections to let kids in and out. The drivers weren't reckless for the most part, but you could certainly tell they were celebrating. ' generation. In Tuesday's state primary election observers expected the heaviest turnout in recent years. In some places the polls had to open early to handle the' crowds. Perhaps this country is coming out VC of the dirty depths of political slime. Senator In a speech later Monday evening, Senator Kefauver had a point when he pointed to youth Kefauver mentioned the "primary" and the interest to do the pulling. D.P. On To The Olympics? If you've ever had a yearning to speed down main street in an open convertible shooting Roman candles or rockets, the night the Kansas Jayhawks returned after winning the NCAA championship , would have been ideal for you. This editor, who watched the rallying Kansas fans at Lawrence for four hours and heard them for eight hours, has never witnessed such enthusiasm and rallying as those University of Kansas students displayed that day. The night before, when news of the victory cached campus, one coed reported that women living in organized houses simply marched out in masses and celebrated until 4 a.m. The next night the team was expected about 1:30 a.m., and there were no hours for University women until after the welcome. The students make good use of the opportunity to celebrate. When this editor arrived on campus about 6 p.m., Thursday, the evening the team was to return, horns already were honking, banners were , hanging from buildings, cars and sign posts saying "Welcome home, champs on to Helsinki." The theater marquis flashed all night with "Welcome, Phog Allen; On to Helsinki." Students carried banners along the streets and in the cars. The weather was ideal. What does a celebration which marks the be ginning of a chance to participate in the Olympics include? Almost everything. Cheerleaders pa raded the streets all evening and a loud speaker announced periodically when and where the rally was planned. Cars scores of them sped up and down main street traveling the same path hour after Barb Wylie I may be taking too much for granted, but I'm going to go on the assumption that you have all heard about Senator Kefauver's caravan through southeast Nebraska Monday. For those students that ac companied the Senator on his "get acquainted" tour, it was a never-to-be-forgotten exper ience. Of course, the usual funny incidents happened that always spark up a tour such as this. While in a hotel ballroom at Beatrice where the Senator was to speak, stu dent memb ers of the caravan were busy distri buting litera ture and in formation to the throng gathered t o h e r a Kef auver. One avid sup ported stop ped in front fully dressed of one carfully dressed woman and asked her if she wouldn't like some information about the Senator. Finally, wondering at her evident confusion and sil ence, he glanced up. "Mrs. Kef auver," he gasped. A factor that was proven by the hundreds of people at Kefauver's talk Monday night and has been evident at Sentor Keer's and other political talks at the Uni versity is the strong interest col lege students are taking in world fix 7 V fiSK Ml vgtg TO REMIND VOJ ARE MUG CONSiDEOABiV MORE THAN A Pint A, Wylie thrift, M frtMt'KU JM.)

Jy. Had you even slightly investi! agtea you would have found that the AWS and Coed Counselor or. ganizations have had an agree! ment for over a year to the ef! feet that, "The finished AWS slate shall be compared with the slate of the Coed Counselores. If there are any duplications, the girls aw to be notified and allowed to choose the slate on which thev wish to run." (The quotation is from the revised AWS constitu. tion.) This agreement was put into practice, with one execption in last year's election. A girl who had been, on botn boards the year before was a. lowed to run on the two slates b cause it was decided that it would be unfair to deny her the privilege of run ning for one of the boards since she had worked on both the year before. This year there were no exceptions. Incidentally, the agreement has nothing to do with the AWS point system. As far as points are con cerned a girl may be on both boards. , , The reason for the said agree ment is quite simple. The meet ings, work and activities spon sored by both groups overlap. For example, this year the girl that was on both boards was chair, man of Coed Follies and chairman of Penny Carnival at the same time. A few years ago a gin was considered for the presidencies of cort. They were wearing firemen s caps on a:peers have said that we have it And then there was the firetruck. Hundreds had piled on it to ride along. A university band escorted the truck which was surrounded by thousands of cheering fans. Torches were lit and the yells were heard for miles. Clyde Lovellette wore the fire chief's white hat. The rally probably will go down in history. Regardless of whether our Kansas neighbors get to the Olympics at Helsinki, that rally, that vic torious feeling, that glorious American enthusiasm for sports will be memorable to every student now at the University of Kansas. It is already memor able to this editor, just as a by-stander. The thought arises as to whether Cornhuskers would be as enthusiastic in a similar case. Probably so, At any rate, this was a great rally for a great team. J.K. der what kind of college course you could enroll in to become an authority on kisses?

"Are Dale Reynolds Exec Board Revision Unites Ag Activities Problem In The Primary The state attorney general's office and the office of Nebraska's secretary of state have been busy during the pre-primary weeks delivering opinions and decisions on the state election laws. It has been decided, in reference to L.B. 486 passed by the 1951 unicameral, that an "X" is needed beside the name of any write-in candidate in the state election. Reports from local election boards Tuesday carried the news that many ballots had been Invalidated because the voter neglected to mark the necessary "X" beside their candidate's name. Gov. Val Peterson last week maintained that the marking" or neglect to mark an "X", if the candi date's name was discernible, should not validate or Invalidate the vote. General Eisenhower and "Bob" for Senator Taft. It would appear that the "X" is here to stay, at least until L.B. 486, the contested, lengthy election remodification bill, is changed. But the choice of whether to count votes with misspelled names seems to be up to the local election offi cials and boards. And, in accordance with law, these officials have the right to validate and in validate ballots, without any higher-up control on their decisions. However, it would seem in more fairness to candidates, even those who have not expressed their political ambitions and yet win many votes, to have a national or state law regarding the write-in votes, to clarify this confused issue. Perhaps Nebraska, in a revision of the dis puted election law, could set up specific rules re- Another question that has come up concorning garding this aspect of primary elections. The "X" The long awaited revision to the Ag Exec board amendment has finally been completed, and is ready to be presented to the fac ulty committee for approval. The amendment calls for a change in the exec board's representation. But before it will be presented to the committee, it must pass the approval of Ag students, who voted in favor of a similar amendment last spring.

Poor Syracuse A new ruling at the University of Syracuse will no doubt make students a bit more cautious about cutting classes. After the third cut, parents are notified. How ever, the student gets a chance to explain his reasons for cutting, and these reasons too are sent to the parents. More than 12 cuts, says the administration means an automatic "F."

It all The approval of the amendment LL ?"J?b? made directly to by Ag students is the reason for the second Ag the write-in vote in state primary concerns the correct spelling of the candidate's name. James S. Pittenger, secretary of state, said he interpreted L.B. 486 to mean that the last names of candidates must be spelled correctly to be counted but also stressed that county clerks and election commis sioners are iree to interpret the statute for them selves. Governor Peterson declared, on this issue, "We're not running a grammar school in Nebraska. controversy could be definitely settled and the use of nicknames or misspelled names could be clari fied. Of course, this situation brings up the prob lem of checking on the validation or invalidation of ballots by the local election officials. This and many other problems would come up in any attempt to codify the confusing write-In laws. But the voter could go to the polls, not only We're fttempting to let a free people express their able to write in the name of his favorite candi choice for president without dictation from the political bosses." The Governor went on to say that he would count a write-in vote of "Ike" for date, if it did not appear on the ballot, but exactly informed on what must be done to make his vote valid. R.R. Margin Notes Jhn (Daih TkiMAkcuv With the spring sun beginning to peak through the gray Nebraska skies, campus lawns are taking on a green hue that is faintly reminiscent of sum mertime. And before long, the inevitable student paths through the grass undoubtedly will begin to provoke the wrath of the building and grounds department. Latest campus organization. Beta Delta, for University blood donors, will kick off their untried-plans this evening with a rally for all such donors. The Daily Nebraskan sincerely hopes that the "latest efforts of the Red Cross board members in charge of blood donations will stimulate University students to a more active participation in donations for our fighting forces. -A The Senate has passed a bill granting combat pay of $45 a month to all members of the armed forces fighting in Korea.

The new amendment is designed to make a strong er Ag Exec board, with Ag o r g a n i z a tions represent ed on the board. Reynolds Right along with this amendment, The Ag Exec board plans to in clude Coil-Agri-Fun and Farm ers Fair in its annual activities. These two traditional activities will still have their own boards next year, as the new amendment will not go into effect soon enough to change them. The Ag Exec board feels that the amendment is in its strong est form at the present, and that if it is approved immedi ately, clubs and organizations can elect their members this spring so the new board can function immediately in the fall. However, some Ag students dis agree. Some feel that there is a need for a Farmers Fair board. which can devote its full time for the preparation of the fair. This writer feels that there is actually no need for a Farm ers Fair board. At times they have trouble in contacting stu dents and organizations in con nection with various phases of the fair. They have had to write letters to each organization tell ing them of Fanners Fair plans, and asking them if they would enter a float In the parade or a concession stand in the midway.

As for Coil-Agri-Fun, it also lacks direct contact with Ag students and organizations. Un der the new Ag Exec board it would benefit greatly by having better planning and support. Wednesday night at the Ag Bull Session is your chance to have a say in how Ag college should be governed, Aggies. If you have any sentiments either way, bring them up then, or it probably will be too late. Getting over to the Ag Union, filings are now open for chair men and sponsors of four Ag Un ion committees. The committees are: publicity, arts and handicraft, dance and general entertainment. Each of the committees has one committee chairman, with the execption of publicity which is diveded into public relations i and hospitality, with one chair- j man each. 1 Sponsors, which represent each committee, make up the Ag Un ion board.

Wilcox Inefficient To the Editor: Announcement was made of filings opening for junior and sen ior class officers in The Daily Ne. braskan of Friday, March 28. Ac cording to the statement made by George Wilcox, chairman of the Student Council election commit tee, candidates were to file in Dean Hallgren's office from Mon day to Saturday. On Tuesday, I went to Dean Hallgren's office to file as a class officer candidate. He said that he did not know that these filings were open and that he had no application blanks. He said that they had onry received information about Student Council positions. Wilcox, he said, had not contacted his of fice about class officer filings. As a prospective candidate for a class officer, I was surprised, to say the least, to find that I was not permitted to file. This may prove to be quite important since Wilcox had announced that can didate's names will be placed on the ballot in the order of filing. If he decides to inform Dean Hall gren about the filings, it means that I must make another trip back to Hallgren's office to file. Meanwhile, some other candidate began when the price went up may appear and file before I have irom a nickel. A Toothpaste Smile? Among the educational exhibits at the Boston Museum of Science is a facsimile of a human tooth, enlarged 30 times. Museum of ficials said that if the tooth were real it could have grown only in found out about the change. Since Wilcox has announced that filings are open, it seems to me that the least he can do is to provide application blanks and information to Dean Hall-gren. For an election as important as the paw of a man 180 feet tall, class. ?fficeJ"s may well be, every and weighing about 250 tons. Would he use Ipana on that one?
