Bicameral Eliminates Lobbies Thone
Bicameral legislation versus
unicameral legislation in Nebras
ka was the topic of a debate be
tween John Senning and John
Tate at a Lincoln Junior Cham
ber of Commerce luncheon Tues
day. Senning is the retired chair
man of the political science de
partment, and Tate is a member
of the Omaha Junior Chamber
of Commerce.
Sennlngf long a supporter of
the unicameral legislature in Ne
braska and a member of the
original committee who drafted
the plan for the present legisla
ture In 1937, spoke for retaining
the present unicameral system.
Tate took the side of the pro
posed return to the two party,
bicameral legislature.
V
"IN THE state of Nebraska,
the governor is like o general
without an army," stated Tate.
"There is no direct tie-up be
tween the governor and the leg
islature, and the legislature is not
responsible to him. Because of
this, there is no cohesive leader
ship in the government."
In reply to Tate's statement,
Senning said the theory is un
sound that a two-party system
with both governor and legisla
tures elected on a bi-partisan
ticket will result in a closer tie
up. "The label of a party is no
inclination of how a man will
vote," said Senning. He pointed
out that In Illinois, only three
per cent of voting was on &
partisan basis.
TATE ALSO mentioned that a

CHARLES THONE, assistant

"WeVe got to make it up to the

them by rejecting them for losing

blame them but the coach too."
""THE COACH -and team are
synonomous throughout the foot

the other will -suffer. We as Uni

both team and coach in order to

Committee member.
"University loyalty has ap

something to fight for or we will
continue to lack, the fire and

assistant Yell King.

Penning mentioned it takes

Soil Conservation
In the opinion of Everett Barr,
vice-president of the State Asso
ciation of Soil Conservation Dis
tricts, abolition of the regional
offices of the Soil Conservation
Service would be & setback to
the soil conservation district pro
gram. The regional setup ties to
gether all the work into a uni
versal and uniform national pro
gram, and if regional offices
were done away with the soil
conservation program would be a
state situation instead of a iini-
cersal program as it is now,
stated Harr. The program of soil
conservation would be unco
ordinated and inefficient if the
offices were abolished.
The plan is not definiate as of
yet, but Sen. Hugh Butler is
planning to find out more about
it and will present his findings
at a later date.
