The Student Council passed a compromise Wednesday. There were no Stephen A. Douglases, no Henry Clays, no John C. Calhouns or no Daniel WtL.sters but there was a compromise. If you have been following the uproar over Throughout this "whole affair, your Daily Ne braskan has favored the women's side. Last semester, we published several editorials "advocat ing the women's amendment. We pointed out that there is not much honor in knowing that you are ticket-balloting from the first, you probably had queen of the campus because your "supporters the same thought I did that there would have to could afford to buy a lot of tickets. We further be a compromise eventually. It began when a argued that this type of business would continue group of yiung women became angered at the forever if nothing were done about it and, there practice of ticket-balloting and decided to do fore, we supported the women's attempt. something about it. They drew up a petition de nouncing the practice and sent it around to wo men's organized houses. The response was very encouraging. - Next, these women presented their petition which was directed to the Council Elections Com mittee Head, Dean Linscott to the Council. They were told that the only positive way to get Coun cil action on the proposition was to present the measure in the form of an amendment to the elec tion by-laws. They prepared such an amendment. Now that the voting is over, any comment we might make would sound like sour grapes. But I would like to point out One aspect of the whole affair which hasn't been mentioned heretofore. If the women of this campus had not recognized the effects of ticket-balloting and brought the issue to a head, the campus would still be eloct- the by tickets, If the method is- wrong, and there ias been a great deal of testimony and I believe convincing testimony to say that they are.

The women's group amend ment "finalists for any campus election shall be chosen without a tricket prerequisite" was de feated and the compromise amendment introduced at the Jan. 14 meeting. mise indicates that many of the aspects of former ticket-elections were wrong. It must be said that ticket-balloting was not outlawed just put within a definite, limiting framework.

This week's issue of Time magazine reports well consider this arbitrary abridgement of in that the American Legion's Un-American Activi- dividual judgment objectionable and entirely out ties. Committees are still functioning. Three West Coast theaters have decided to substitute another film in place of their scheduled showing of Charlie Chaplin's "Limelight." This occurred, according to Time, after the theaters were visited by representatives of the Holly wood Legion post. It would seem that the Legion's Un-American committees are not only interested in what books the American citizen is allowed to read, but also in what entertainment he may choose to see. Some may welcome such action. After all, sometimes it is a little easier to let others think for "you. of keeping with the traditional democratic con cept of free thought. The Legion move apparently stems from the still incomplete investigation of Chaplin by the Department of Justice. But, even with this so-called reason, are not at least two fundamental principles of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence violated? Is not a man to be presumed innocent until proved guilty? And, is it not the domain of the courts, and the courts alone, to determine a man's guilt or innocence? evident Thf-..' developments are: Department "tf SS anions ftt to Oene Cray, Monday against an international oil cartel "'.f The V 80ph" Involvlne. fimontr others five ma- more in.

Some Americans don't either. It has been said that any possible good the Nationalists might do on the mainland would be neutralized by: first, the bad effect such attacks would have on our allies and, second, the possi bility of a third world war. Those who say that a war will be the result had a pronouncement by the Communist Chinese leader, Chou En-lai, to back them up. The Red said that the Eisenhower decision to remove the Seventh Fleet from the Formosa coast would precipitate a larger war. Actually, war is the farthest thing from any American's desires especially the president's.

The American people are qualified to do D. P. that for themselves. E. D. A striking similarity -exists between the Legion action here in Lincoln concerning a course which was not even using the book Insinuated to be attack on a movie which has been running for four months. The New York Herald Tribune printed the following in its editorial columns: ". . . The Legion has made the cardinal error of attacking the art instead of the artist ... To make rude remarks about movies you do not like is an American privilege. But to suppress them . . . is not such a privilege, and is hot good sense ... Charles Chaplin's political activities, if any, can be dealt with at the proper place and time, but to drage his movie Into the indictment is oppressive and ill-advised." Coupled with the recentcy of the Lincoln at tack one might well wonder if the alarming in crease in such attacks is not organized an planned. ; Coincident, but not without connection, Charles Clayton, editorial writer for the St. Louis Globe- 6.

In analyzing these problems, it becomes evident that the U.S. do mestic oil policy can not be con sidered by itself. The last administration left some recommendations in a re port prepared by Oscar Chapman, former secretary of interior. The Chapman paper stresses that some way must be found to save the great Abadan refinery for the Western world.

"Torpedo Alley," 2:31, By DICK RALSTON Staff Writer Students are probably the biggest gripers in the world. And in this respect they haven't changed much in 20 years. The following complaints are quoted from The Nebraskan in 1933 and were tabulated from themes written In an English cjass: a foreign language." These complaints have survived the depression, war and inflation and are still regularly heard today. However, one of the gripes is hardly ap plicable today: . . There is a gripe about the ROTC firing range in the basement of Andrews Hall. The writer claims it is verv disconcertlm? to havp "One student is considerably irked by the fact 'the staccato of rifle discharges occurring in a building where lectures and study are in pro gress.' " that few professors are to be found in their offi ces even during their listed office hours. He claimr that 'the problem of meeting professors is a major one. "A young lady utters a vigorous complaint The changes In customs and "morals" brought about by two decades can be truly remarkable. against compulsory physical education. Ask any I doubt if anyone has heard this complaint lately Maybe you remember the editorials which ap peared in The Nebraskan about two years ago ad vocating smoking rooms in sorority houses and women's dormitories. The Issue has never been revived, but one young lady comes out in favor of recognizing the fact that most girls smoke, and providing convenient places for them to smoke girl in the department, that is, outside those who are majoring in gym, if she would not raiher take some other three-hour course," she said.
