Page 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Wednesday, October 29, 1952 A Sfudenf LooJcs Toward Poffics-V Measure Yourself Politically By KENT RYSTROM Managing Editor 'Have you ever wished you could pick up a ruler and measure accurately all the candidates and issues in an election year? "And find your own exact political position just as easily?" James S. Pope, Jr., of the Louisville Courier Journal and Times staff, asked these questions in a recent issue of the Courier-Journal and, what's important, he has devised "a yardstick with which (the voter can) measure himself in relation to those he is asked to choose between" "a yardstick which will indicate seven shades of opinion on eight issues." Pope warns his readers, however, to remember four facts in the use of the yardstick: "1. This yardstick is based on simplkation even over-simplification. This can be dangerous, but not if we bear in mind that it is over-simplification. "2. The American political parties are dyna mic forces which fluctuate constantly in the give-and-take of public opinion. A measurement made today may be out of date a year from now. "3. Many of the terms used will mean differ ent things to different people; but to attempt to define these terms here would be to destroy our tool of simplification. Use your own definitions and apply them consistently to get the proper com parison. "4. The numbers have no meaning whatsoever except to show a relationship. We could just as well have started the numbers in reverse order." To use the yardstick, take each of the eight issues and' circle the number which comes clos est to expressing your own opinion on each. If one of the four phases seems to fit your philo sophy, mark it and go on to the next issue. If not, you have the opportunity to pick a middle position between two of the expressed opinions. Thus, you might circle 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5. Panhellenic Plans Annual Sorority Event J Panhellenic Workshop Week, an I annual sorority event, will begin i Monday, Nov. 2, it was announced j Tuesday.

Then you 'discussions, teas, and open meet add up your score and divide by eight to get youi average position. Parties and candidates can also be rated by uie yarasiicK. rrequenuy, or course, their posi tions may be only estimates. "You may even want to try to estimate the public average as an aid to predicting the election results," Pope sug gests. Results Popa obtained in applying the yard stick to key men and groups are as follows: 1.0 REACTIONARY 1.4 Republican Old Guard 1.7 Senator Taft 1.8 Republican average 2.0 CONSERVATIVE 2.2 Eisenhower 2.5 MIDDLE-OF-ROAD 2.5 Senator Russell 2.7 Estimated public mind 1952 3.0 LIBERAL 3.1 Adlai Stevenson 3.2 Democratic average 3.3 Estimated public opinion 1932 3.5 Roosevelt New Deal 4.0 RADICAL ings.
