In essence the pln is this: to rid our Univer sity of those elections where balloting is done by ticket. The proposal took Its first form in a meeting during Tan-Hellenic week of the activity chairmen of the women's organised houses. It ent from the customary proposal that comes before Student Council. It is the one thing that gives the entire plan purpose and strength. The last section of the letter says that the proposal will go into effect Jan. 1, 1953. And how might this sort of proposal be pat into effect? It is stated that those organized houses signing the letter shall not pot up candidates after Jan. 1 for any title which is bestowed on the basis of ticket-balloting. The letter is being submitted to the Council for approval. Regardless of the decision of the Council, those organized houses that vote tonight in favor of the proposal, shall, in a word, boycott elections in the future where the amount of money a certain house can scrape up determines the win ner of a campus title.

The letter gives two objections to ticket-balloting: a false method of working up interest in a certain project of a certain organization by having those leaders and those members that shall speak out to Student Council members and to others so concerned in an effort to stop the plan. This writer feels, perhaps optimistically, that the letter will receive many house signatures this evening. Despite the numerical reception riven K tonight, we feel that there is enonrh support for the move to make the boycott a very effective one. soon be declared.

The Nebraskan asks for unanimous approval of this plan tonight. Its success lies partly in presenting a vnited appeal to the Sta dent Council. We strongly nrge every member of an rr nixed noose to attend her respective approval which would mean that those organiza tions sponsoring such "paid-elections"' would be prohibited from this practice in the future.

Ia view of a meeting late this after noon at which tone the method for determining Nebraska Sweetheart and Prince Kosmet wCl be decided The "Nebraskan would like to express its sentiments. The suggestion from Kosmet Klub that the objections to ticket-balloting be pacified by har ing the Mortar Boards, Innocents and KK execu tive committee choose Nebraska Sweetheart and Prince Kosmet is perhaps a noble bet not a very ' practical one.
