Both look back and point out the proper way of running things. v In this particular case, The Daily Nebraskan will implement hindsight and say that the Student Council should have made Colorado our official mi gration. Of course, we have to admit that when the decision was made to have no official migra tion we agreed that this was probably the best idea. Nevertheless, it sure looks now as if a real slam bang official migration could have been worked out. rr ... The primary objection to an official migration tfa$ the cost It was argued that the cost it was estimated that a good trip would cost around $50 would cut the migrators down to a select . few and official migrations were supposed to be f4he school as a whole. Therefore, the Council t$II the administration that it could not recom mend an official migration. Instead, the Coun cjbLsuggested that everyone wishing to attend an out-of-town game should go to Colorado and make at least one large contingent at at least one game. "The student body has certainly accepted the Council's suggestion because practically the whole University took up their books Friday and silently stole to Boulder. If as many would have gone on an official trip, it would have been an overwhelm ing success. A sanctioned migration would have brought along a lot of others who cannot make the trip by car. Of course, the Jaycees sent a train but University students did not show much inclination to mingle with that older crowd. However a few went that way, including the band. One comment about'tiie migration official or not which must be made is that the enthusiasm around the Lincoln campus last Friday was un like anything this writer has seen in his three years here. There was a real air of excitement that touched every conversation and showed on nearly every face. This campus was really a happy place. Six weeks examinations were just over and students were looking for a place to re lax. The Nebraskan can hardly call a mad week end in Boulder and Denver a relaxing experience but it has its medicinal qualities. Official or not, the migration was a terrific suc cess and definitely points to the advisability of keeping the tradition. If none of the other advan tages existed, it would still be wise to ship .off the University to some other campus once in a while to see how things are run at our neighbors. New friendships are made and old ones strengthened. Perhaps, it is good that we have hindsight be cause it helps in planning for the future. We learned last weekend that a trip to a school like Colorado can be a success and worthy of making a tradition. Let us hope that two years from now it is seen fit to that there is an official trip' to the mountains. D.P. Over Their Goal Letterip D.P. Persona Dear Editor: Attention: Don Pieper" We have just finished reading your latest harangue, and find the rather inherent stupidity of it quite hard to digest. For some time now, Pieper, you have been mouthing incoherent drivel from the supposed immunity of the edi torial chair. But now the time has come to deflate the balloon of pomposity with which you have cloaked yourself. Your latest effort, entitled "Golden Roads," which ap peared on page two of the Daily Nebraskan on Oct. 23, 1952, illustrates your policy, to wit, writing before you think. We would like to specifically refer to your attack on the Federal Agency which settled the case in which you state, "Typically, the government settled the mine owner's claim to U. S. advan tage," also quite prejudiced; and to further illustrate this point, we quote your statement in the following paragraph, "Moreover, it should justly be $60,000." This statement purports to 'set you up, Pieper, as a more capable legal expert than the govern ment officials who decided the case. Why, Pieper. do you feel the claim should have been $60,000? wnat points do you summon to Duttress your weak and inade quate argument that the United States has successfully and typi- ii.. i i . muj ueuauaea a aoum ivorean gold mine of the sum of $40,000? Do you defend your contention on ethical grounds, on factual grounds, or are you just angry with the government of the United states in general? lne inferences you have cast appear small in print, but unless they are supported by facts readily comprenensibie to your readers. said readers might well conclude mat tne intent of the government oi tne united States is to take ad vantage of all who are unable to muster adequate defenses. This. Pieper, is irresponsible journalism. And this brings us to the crux of our argument. We feel that you have repeatedly published irresponsible and irrelevant edi torials during the course of the school year. Many of your edi torials have been of little or no interest to a majority of stu dents (citations omitted) and we feel that your political writings have been Slanted so much as to furnish an extremely biased viewpoint. As we see it, your editorial li cense does not give you the rieht to publish irrelevant, wild and prejudiced attacks that lack suffi cient grounds of evidence and forethought. Therefore, Pieper, we can on you to amend your style. Think, man, think, before you scribble your drivel in the heat of passion. Strive zealously to write calm, factual and interesting prose.

Yours for better journalism, JAMES WATT HEWITT CHARLIE WRIGHT Thursday was a big day for the AUF board as the All-University Fund went over their goal in one of the shortest, most concentrated charity drives in campus history. With a goal of $5,000 to istence of the campus Y's supported through the Community Chest which, in turn, supports the Y's also indicates that AUF money is not in vain. However, many students would like to know. be reached, the drive opened Oct. 6 and went over throughout the year, just exactly how students in the top Oct 23. Pledges and late collections will undoubtedly boost this total far above the $5,000 mark. The Daily Nebraskan wishes to express con gratulations to AUF for reaching their goal and for eliminating from their oft-criticized organiza tion many phases which have drawn student con demnation. i.AUF did a good job this year in making more people believe in what they're doing despite the fact that one gets a little weary making out checks to campus organizations. Next year's AUF drive should show the result of this year's work and perhaps should incorporate more of the suggestions put forth by irate-donors. Perhaps the greatest complaint about AUF is that students give their yearly $2 or whatever their contribution may have been destined to be and have no specific assurances that their money is going to some worthy cause. This year, of course, it will be easier to see the results of AUF money on our own campus through the cancer research work of Dr. Frank Pace.

Dear Editor: Oftentimes in American presi dential campaigns, a truly worthy muiviauai, relegated to the posi tion of vice presidential candidate, is overshadowed by the more highly publicized and perhaps worthier presidential aspirant. A contemporary example may be found in John Sparkman, the Democratic nominee for the na tion's No. 2 executive position. Since his nomination in July, the tendency to minimize the ability of the affable and un assuming Senator from Ala bama in the face of the more pretentious, gaudy and audible nature of his Republican oppo nent has indeed been appalfing. Such an attitude by the Amer ican public can readily be lik ened to the small child whose attention is attracted by the shiny new penny in preference to a somewhat less colorful but obviously more valuable dime. Sparkman, himself, has to a great extent through numerous public appearances contradicted this indifferent attitude. ' Unfor tunately, the great masses of the people, either through disinterest or inconvenience, have been de. It is unfortunate that our campus cannot mownM the example of other universities and colh2M in mind, that th writnr fnoli Vi foreign lands are aided through their contribu tionsthrough AUF to the World Student Serv ice Fund. It would be interesting to know, if possible, specific people in other nations whose ed ucation has been furthered through WSSF. Also high on the list of AUF gripes is that this organization advertises that it is the only official charity-collecting agency on our campus which might be true. However, organized houses are be seiged each week of the entire school year with letters from every conceivable type of organiza tion desiring contributions to their worthy cause. An admirable project for AUF to undertake might be the channeling of all such requests through a central committee for all campus or ganized houses -and organizations to determine whether they merit student support. AH causes look worthy on the surface AUF might benefit the student body by investigating the veneer right off many of the groups that hit students for money.

Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, long a paradox- Independent voters across the nation will prob ably play the decisive role in the election. They are faced with great responsibility and too many find that this campaign has not answered their questions. So much effort has been spent by both parties in exploiting past errors of opposing can didates that definite programs for the future are lacking on a number of issues. Even the Woman's Christian Temperance Un ion apparently faces the same problem. Recently they submitted letters to both candidates asking their views on such issues as curbing drinking in the armed forces and diplomatic circles, pro hibiting advertisement of alcoholic beverages and restraining immorality in occupation theaters. Polling organizations are active again this year, but their predictions are subdued after the faux pas of '48. Experts talk around and about the subject, but few will tell you which way to place an election bet. State officials in Washington, D.C. and other "qualified sources" have come out with one of the few specific predictions for Nov. 4. "On the basis of the rising tide of voting registration, they estimate an election turnout of 55,669,850. This Is the largest vote in U.S. history, but according to the Census Bureau figures, it is only ap proximately 57 of the "potential" vote civilian population of voting age. Every vote is neces sary.

Last week, he formally resigned frnm the Repub lican party after announcing his support of Gov. Stevenson. Statisticaly, the press is still almost overwhelmingly pro-Ei- and keep your petty complaints senhower, but the temper of the irom tne editorial columns of the support has cooled in many in S11? N5??- To conclude, as stances. The St. Louis Post-Dis patch, a highly respected news paper and an early Ike fan, has now switched from support of Eisenhower to Stevenson and challenged other borderline backers to do the same. In the opposite camp, Eisen- Griffis hower has. broken the "solid South." The Demo crats may win the electoral votes, but the amaz ing upsurge of Republican power in Southern states has wrought irreparable changes in a tradi tion rooted in the Civil War era. Texas is the most violent case in point. The campaign has aroused an unbelievable amount of bitterness in the Lone Star state. Gov. Shivers led the bolting movement from 6n throughout the country and have one purchase at the beginning of each school term include year book, theatre tickets, athletic event tickets, charity contributions and so forth. In lieu of this sort of project, AUF might fully live up to its purpose and serve as that organiza tion which keeps all-comers away from the stu dent pocketbook. R.R.

Even the most superficial in vestigation into the personal history of John Sparkman re veals unusual drive and ability. Born the son of a southern ten ant farmer, a position of social and economic depravity readily apparent to one familiar with the social structure of the South, he has risen to a posi tion of prominence both within his party and the nation. This alone would seem to indicate a man of unusual worth and Initiative. His family background and heritage also hold the key to that forceful but humble greatness which is so conspicuous by it utter lack of arrogance and con can, cnaracieristics wnicn are pernaps more applicable to his Kepubiican rival. His broadminded philosophy. rar trait among Southern states men, is best exemplified by his refusal to support the Dixlecrat revolt in 1848, and simultaneously his leadership in the fight to re gain control of the Alabama state machinery for the more liberal elements of the Democratic Party, Other indications of his liberal views become apparent upon in vestigation of his position upon some or the more important prob lems of the day. An advocate of world unity. Sparkman has supported every program for world co-operation. In addition to the United Na tions, to which ha was appointed delegate in 1050. be has sup ported the Marshall Plan, the North Atlanlio Treaty, and the Mutual Defense Assistance Pro gram. His abilities in the field of international relations have won him a position on the Sen ate Foreign Relations Commit tee, on which ha served with unquestionable judgment. Naturally, coming from the ranks of common men himself, Sparkman is the friend of both the farmer and the laborer, two groups which form the life blood of our American system of free enterprise. He is an announced advocate of agricultural aids, and a sympathetic supporter of liberal labor legislation. As is Illustrated by his active and universal Dro- gram of social progress, Senator Sparkman is motivated by a deep sense of public responsibility. With the conclusion of . these words, the writer wishes to appeal for a just consideration Independ ent from and unbiased by the blinders of party lines of a man whose qualifications for the posi tion of Vice President are of the highest order and whose honest endeavor in the field of govern ment are beyond reproach.
