Vote For One
Of the decisions made at yesterday's special Student
Senate meeting, the "vote for one. and not for three girls"
in the Homecoming Queen election is the most outstandig
and significant.
The ruling should have been adopted years ago.
Arguments against voting only for one girl were petty
at most points. Some held that every living unit casts then
first vote for their own candidate and that only by casting
three votes might they be able to rearlly vote for the can
didate of their choice.
If this were the case, it would be the voters who did
not have a candidate who would decide the election. And
we say what is wrong with that?
As was pointed out in the Senate meeting, in the past
when voting for three, the following procedure has been
used: the particular living unit's candidate gets the first
"x" followed by two "x's" for two girls who probably do
not have as good a chance thereby giving one's own
candidate a better chance at the queenship.
A one-vote ballot should eliminate this ridiculous
practice. But it will put the voter on the spot. He'll have
to think for himself and cast his vote intelligently for the
candidate who would make the best Homecoming Queen,
obviously not necessarily the candidate from his own house
or dorm. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
We hope that some real voting will occur inside the
private-curtained booth this year.
The decision that the interviewing board be composed
of one senator from every college plus the president and
vice president of ASUN is satisfactory for this year.
We urge the committee appointed to study the prob
lem to respond with a better method of selecting the
finalists for next year's election.
The Homecoming Queen is the only all-campus queen
election. We think it is the most important queen election
this year. There are two days in which to cast your
vote. We urge that you do so, because we believe your
vote might really mean something this vear if you let it.

Phase IV
Val Peterson, three term
former governor, has of
ficially thrown his hat into
the gubernatorial ring, and
in doing so has given the
state Republican Party a
proven winner as its can
didate. Interestingly enough
he announced his candidacy
in a talk given to the Uni
versity Young Republicans.
Why he chose this group's
meeting as the place to air
his intentions is significant
in itself. One might attribute
it to his association with the
5 University as President of
the Board of Regents, but
this is rather a surface ex
planation. A more realistic
reason might be the import
ant contribution made by
the Young Democrats in
the last election. Undoubted
ly Mr. Peterson is cogni
zant of this contribution.

He also realizes he c a n
count on oldline GOP sup
port, but must have cam
paign support of the Young
Republican across the state
to win.
Peterson and the Young
Republicans need each oth
er. Peterson needs them to
win and they need him to
become more than the im
potent organization which
the smashing defeat of Gold
water has left them.
We hope that the associa
tion Peterson has had with
national politics won't have
the same effect that it had
on former U.S. Secretary of
the Interior Seaton when he
ran for the governorship in
1962. We fee' that :erson
hasn't become a big city
bureaucrat and still retains
a bit of the 'folksy-ness'
necessary to win an election
in Nebraska. If incumbent
Governor Morrison elects to
run for another term, this
promises to be an election
to long be remembered.
Dear Miss Hoegemeyer:
After reading the last few
editions of your newspaper
(Friday, Sept. 24, in par
ticular), I began wondering
about the academic direc
tion in which this university
apparently is headed. Such
recent new items as 1. the
University's population ex
plosion over the last few
years, 2. the expansion of
the football stadium, 3. the
recent construction of addi
tional housing facilities and
4. the proposed expansion
of the Nebraska Union seem
to indicate that the Uni
versity is more concerned
about the student's body
than about his mind.
In 1960 there were a little
over ten thousand students
at the University of Ne
braska; today there are over
15,000. To accommodate
the rapidly growing student
body, the University under
took a program of physical
expansion. Recent examples
of this expansion are the
new North Stadium and the
new dormitories. Soon, we
are informed, the Union will
be enlarged to accommo
date a future student popu
lation of 25,000. Even our
chancellor has taken part
in the expansion program,
moving into an attractive
new home, the value of
which no one knows for cer
tain. All this means that
the student has or will have
adequate space in which to
sleep, eat and be enter
tained. Obviously, something is
missing: classroom space.

DOOR PRIZES
Only a certain number of
bodies can fit into a certain
number of rooms and seats.
Those certain rooms and
seats are filled at present;
where do we go from here?
Has the University no plans
whatsoever for expanding
the present over-worked
classroom space or for
building new facilities? Per
haps additional stories
could be added to some of
the existing buildings. Per
haps new buildings could
be constructed north of the
present city campus.
Why doesn't the Univers
ity strongly consider ex
pansion on to the present
site of the state fairgrounds,
and in doing so endorse
either plan number two,
three or four of the sug
gested plans for use of the
Lincoln Air Force Base?
Surely there must be some
where to go. It is surpris
ing that so little has been
done, especially when one
considers the very rapid
rate of student growth over
the last six years.
Or maybe it isn't so sur
prising; maybe it doesn't
matter if the students suf
fer from over-crowded class
rooms. After all, the stu
dents do have seats for the
football games. .
Yours truly,
Steve L. Green,
graduate student
Open Letter
An open letter to the As
sociation of Students of the
University of Nebraska:
We are, as you have
asked us to be, actively
committed to the principle
of student self-government.
We understand your purpose
to be the maintenance of
student rights and responsi
bilities. Your . recent claim
to "supreme power" is
taken to be an indication
that you see your task as
something more than the
mere preservation of an In
loco parentis establishment.
A policy which attempts to
make students responsible
by undermining any possi
bility of real decision mak
ing is absurd, and should be
abandoned.
Students, we believe,
should have the legal right
to make the decisions rele
vant to their lives as mem
bers of the university com
munity. Are we to presume
that the students on this
campus engage in this kind
of decision-making? Is the
government of this com
munity effective, or is it a
mere parody acting under a
formal, make-believe guise?
We are students for a
democratic society who
await the test of your "su
preme power" with keen
interest. Our commitment
to self-government is not re
inforced when you spend
$210 on public relations and
$35 on public issues.

Bowling Feo Fair?
Dear Madam Editor:
I cannot understand why
it is necessary to charge
bowling students $7.25 to
participate In class. (I do
understand the $1.50
charged for shoes. After all,
you have to provide your
own shoes in any P.E.
class.) If the charge is
made just because the
class meets in the Union,
it is unfair. The Union is a
part of the University. If
we cannot use these facili
ties for a class without pay
ment, a place should be pro
vided especially for bow
ling classes. It then follows
that the University Is sav
ing money by having the
bowling students use the
Union facilities: there is no
maintenance costs for two
separate places.
Perhaps someone reading
this is thinking to himself
"if classes weren't being
held, paying customers
could use the lanes." But
show me one person who
would normally use an al
ley at 8 or 9 a.m. I h a v e
looked into the bowling area
several times this past
week and the maximum
number of people bowling
at once was two. (Perhaps
that is why we have to pay.
Otherwise, the alleys may
not take in any money.)
The argument that there
must be charges for main
tenance does not seem too
convincing. Do we have to
pay for the maintenance for
lacrosse or tennis rackets?
Do we have to pay at each
class for someone to sweep
the floor after class is over?
Do we have to pay for the
use of the swimming pool,
or even for the water in it?
These costs and many oth
er similar ones are taken
care of. Why should the
costs of using the bowling
facilities be any different?

MB 015's Heart Beating
Dear Madam Editor,
Nothing is wrong. My
heart is beating a little fas
ter and my temper is flar
ing. My interest has been
aroused and you have made
a noticeable impression on
my brain. I am taking this
opportunity to sound off in a
pleasant and disgusted way
about my life here at t h e
University.
First on the disgusted
side:
1. The amount of money
spent on chancellor Har
din's new home for "enter
taining' while 15,100 stu
dents lack adequate class
room space.
A Feather?
Open letter to Official X,
Sometimes dull problems
reward the solver. Usually
they only punish those who
should have solved them.
It would not be a happy
hunt the search for just
what organ of campus or
city government was re
sponsible for the death of
one or more students cros
sing the street from the
Union to Teacher's College.
ASUN could earn a feather
for a good solution.
