Three University of Nebraska stu

proval of traffic conditions near the
city campus and the fraternity and
sorority sections. Sentiment has been
increasing in opposition to the rules
of parallel parking set down by city
officials since the law was passed last
February.
Dwight Wallace, 28, Casper,
Wyo., editor of the 1928 Cornhus
ker, expressed his feelings concern
ing the problem to a Nebraskan re
porter yesterday. "A few years ago,
stated Mr. Wallace, "agitation was
aroused to move the University of
Nebraska campus to the site now oc
cupied by the College of Agriculture.)
"Lincoln citizens voted against it, j
and the campus remained in the ;
city. Now, instead of attempting to
make the campus quiet and conducive j

To Get Votes
(By the Rag Man)
Today is May Day. But what is of
more interest to thirty-two candi
dates for positions on the Student
Publications board and the Student
Conncil is the fact that it is the day
of the annual spring election.
Feverish campaigning Monday by
representatives of "Blue Shirts' and
'Yellow Jackets', rival fraternity
political factions, and girl candidates
for the Student Council give rise to
belief that today's election may rival
the vigorous campaign of last spring
when more than 1150 students voted
in the largest spring election since
1921.

James to the ballot as a candidate
