University Politics is the one great diversion of the student who can't play football, can't "fuss" and can't find any other graft. The University of Nebraska is so constituted that it is possible for three or four men, aided by a few women (must be able to close their eyes to any thing crooked) to run every dance, hop or play. The obstacle paced in the way of these ambitious wardheelers is a system of Australian ballot. This obstacle can be overcome, however, by a judicious use of Freshmen voting for the opposition.

     The system as outlined works out beautifully. Anyone who has seen an election can testify that this form of athletics (Mexican) is well worth the money. It is the best opportunity to learn who are your friends. No one is ever able to find their enemies. Each candidate wears the broad smile and an arm supporter, enabling him to shake more hands and "be glad to know you" more times than would be possible otherwise. It's a great game and the more you see of it the less you know about it. Everyone enjoys it, and it fills a large niche in our university education.
