Convocation Coercion
The owner of a campus coffee shop suggested

It would undoubtedly help the convocation

indifferent, the smart-aleck, the shallow. We
echo the cry of the culture-enthusiasts on our

An Election At NU
As the two major party presidential candidates
tour the country trying to convince the voting pub
lic that their respective platforms are perfect, stu
dents at the University are planning a mock elec
tion. Ours Is not the only school with this in mind.
Monday's mail brought three exchange papers
from other campuses telling about mock elec
tions that either had been held or were in the
planning stage. Dwight David Eisenhower "swept
the field . . . and romped home with the presi
dency of the United States in Syracuse univer
sity's first mock national election," according to
a front page story In the Syracuse Daily Orange.
Meanwhile students at the University of California
went the same way in a recent campus election.
At Colorado, alSirnilar election is being planned.
The Nebraskan has contributed a section of
its editorial page to a discussion of the issues of
the campaign and the stands the parties have
taken on those issues. This column, A Student
Looks Toward Politics, is entirely non-partisan
and the product of a great deal of research. In
Monday's paper the farm policies and the tide
lands oil issue were discussed. Soon, this col
umn will contain objective Information on the
amendments to the state constitution which will
be up for state approval on rhe November bal
lot. Meanwhile, our editorial columns the left three
columns of the second page have presented The
Nebraskan's reasons for supporting General Eisen
hower for the presidency. At a staff meeting, it
was decided that Ike would receive Nebraskan edi
torial backing. Other papers across the coun
try have also chosen candidates to support. A
great many agree with us. Also in these columns,
The Nebraskan runs editorials which we have
solicited from faculty members. The opinions ex
pressed in these editorials are not necessarily our
school daily prints, it would be wise to look at
the city papers both on the front and editorial
pages. The wire services are full of politics now
and stands and platforms are being reported
daily. The Nebraskan is not set up to bring
this national news and has made no attempt to
do so. But we do recommend that the student
follow the political drama through the pages of
the city papers. Furthermore, we recommend
that the editorial comments of the two Lincoln
papers be followed by both the eligible and mock
voter. Each of the two city papers has a differ
ent view towards the present political fracas
and each carries columnists who favor opposite
sides of the ballot. The Nebraskan suggests, then,
that the intelligent voter read the voters' guides
in The Nebraskan, the editorials here and in
downtown papers and the daily accounts of
candidates' speeches and statements.
We feel that there is a great importance in
preparation for voting. We believe that no one
should vote when he does not understand the is
sues. We urge study of the state and local races
as well as the more exciting national contests.
It won't be long until the school gets a chance
to tell the world how it feels politically, and The
Nebraskan is trying to make it possible for every
voter mock and otherwise to vote intelligently.

Interesting View
A visitor to The Nebraskan offices this week
had an interesting point of view to offer on the
All-University-Party's recent contribution of $50
to the Junior-Senior class boards. It's a point of
view that perhaps is interesting only to The Ne
braskan. Since the officers and class councils of the
Junior and Senior classes have traditionally been
of great interest to the one active political group
on this campus the All-University Party or the
faction it has been suggested that the $50 do
nation was made in an attempt to see that the
one sphere of partial-faction control was kept
intact In other words, helping the Junior-Senior
class boards out financially so that the Stu
dent Council would see fit to reinstate them at
the end of this and every year.
A college fraternity in Alabama was shut

Although KU students have twice been losers
in predicting election winners, they have tried it
again.
A prologue to the poll was an editorial in the
University Daily Kansan stating that "if the stu
dents run true to form they will elect as winner
of its poll the man who actually will lose in the
national election."' The outcome? Ike, 2-1.
Now the question is whether the prediction

tensive survey of the activity situation, the AWS
board revised its point system and set up an ap
peal board for the over-pointed coeds.
The case of one particular coed has come to
this writers attention recently a case that again
brings up an inconsistency of the present point
system. This particular coed, vested with a un
ion position for which she receives three of the
maximum 11 activity points, attends a minimum
of six meetings per week to -carry out the du
ties of this particular job.
The Nebraskan understands the problems of
the AWS board caught between regulating the
lives of University women and letting those so
capable become hard-working, responsible lead
ers on the campus.
In this case perhaps the Union has added duties
to the coed's office since the point system revision
a year ago. Perhaps the president of the organi
zation tinder discussion did not honestly under
stand the time needed to carry out the duties of
this office. Perhaps this particular office slipped
by the AWS board during its attempt to straighten

Whatever the reason, the amount of time re
quired of this coed does not come out even when
compared with the three points alloted to the
office. AWS inconsistent? Or activity not
realistic? R.R.

Pavel immediately looked down
his aristocratic nose at Bazarov
who was, according to Arkady, a
nihilist. That is, ns Arkady said,
"A nihilist is a man who does not
bow down before any authority,
who does not take any principle
on faith, whatever reverence that
principle may be enshrined in."
At first Arkady was an ardent
admirer and follower of Bazarov,
but a break occurred between the
two friends. Each man loved the
same woman who seemed to pre
fer Bazarov but ended by rejecting
both men.
Arkady found comfort with the

From where I sit, it seems
that this column is slated to
appear just about mid-way
between two lost weekends
... as far as the Nebraska
campus is concerned at least!
Next week is the migration to
Colorado (unofficial though it
may be) and last weekend was
the time for another annual mi
gration to the hunting fields.
From all reports, it seems that
everyone went hunting but no
body found much. Even those
who returned empty handed will
agree that walking through coun
try fields, in spite of the crack
ling corn stalks towering above)
you and scratching your face, is a
welcome change from the class
room routine. After my first taste
of the sport, 1 recommend it for
girls too. That is, if they don't
mind keeping quiet for awhile.
While I'm recommending, I'd
like to put in a good word
for the "Art

rill Hall.

Did some observing of campus
fashions one morning last week.
While parked between Burnett
and Andrews before the 8 o'clock
classes, I counted 79 suede jacketa
on students hurrying to class. At
about $40 per, that makes an ex
penditure of over $3,000 on thil
particular fad. These same peopla
will be wondering 20 years from
now where in the world their own
college-age dependents spend all
the money.
After seeing the fine showing
made at Penny Carnival Satur
day, I wonder if this annual
event couldn't be utilized to
raise money for some worthy
charity. People seem willing to
spend to have fun when they
don't feel they can donate to
charity (well, we're human!)
and this event seems ready
made to take the place of some
of the yearly "touches."

The Union lobby housed a
crowd of Husker fans on Satur
day. The football game was the
attraction and quite a crowd
gathered to follow on the radio
what they couldn't follow in per
son. Everyone seemed proud of
the Husker statistical record even
if the score board showed the
wrong results. Let's hope next
week will bring a different story.
Coach Bill Glassford had one
of his old nicknames revived at
half-time interview, one of
Glassford's old school mates
told the radio audienoe that the
coach was once known as "Hot
Dog" Glassford.
Intramural football, while good
exercise for the guys on campus,
does not rank highly as a spec
tator sport for the girls.
Sat through a game the other
night where the referees never
once bothered to verify the scores
or indicate the penalties to the
crowd. The old saying about not
being able to tell the players
without a program certainly holds
true in this case. Unless the spec
tator knows each man on the
field, it is hard to tell a com
pleted pass from an interception.
Will step down now. but first
want to congratulate and com
mend the management of Unl
Sundries for their offer to close
their doors during the all-University
convocations. As it is. the
dismissal of classes is not much
more than a farce situation which
might be remedied if the other
campus coke parlors would fol
low suit.
That's all for this week . . .
