Attempting to display II uth
orlty over campus organizations,
tha Student council at Its Wed
nesday session decreed that If the
Barb couucll doei iiot adhere to
the change of name given It Home
time back, suspension of all acuv
Itles of the nonfraternlty group
will be the result.
This was the ultimatum of the
tudent governing body of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, following me
barbs" refusal to comply with the
edict handed down by the former
body as regards the proper name
of the barb organization which as
the council baa said, should be
'Barb executive board."
To show the unaffiliated stu
dents that thev mean business
the councillors have Incorporated
In their resolution passed unani
mously Wednesday that the barbs
be given until Tuesday. April 22.
either to acquiesce with the stu

duce a new constitution.
Suspension Provided For.
"If no such compliance takes
i lace within the time stipulated,
t, tales the resolution, "the Barb
organization shall be suspended
until such time as arrangements
satisfactory to the Student coun
cil shall be made."
In -introducing: the resolution
David Fellman, chairman of the
committee on student organiza
tions, which croup has had charge
of the proceedings with the barb
organization all along, Drougni oui
the fact that both the faculty
committee and sub-committee
were cognizant of what they were
doing wnen they accepted the con
stitution of the barbs at an earlier
date.
Charge Answered.
This was a direct answer to the
charge hurled at the council and
faculty committee by the nonfra
ternity leaders, who have said that
due consideration of the matter
was denied before proper legisla
tion was taken.
That the barbs themselves had
not been informed of the change,
which waa another charge made
by barb leaders, was refuted by
Prof. E. W. Lantz, faculty ad
viser for the Student council-
"I can vouch for the fact " said
Professor Lantz, "that the barb
organization had been told that its
name could not be accepted by the
Student council and that a change
in the name was absolutely neces
sary before they could be officially
recognized."
Rallies Question.
Another matter that was given
final settlement, but which has
been the object of much discus
sion and deliberation by students
and faculty, is the way in which
future pre-football game rallies
shall be 'conducted.

POLITICAL COMBINATIONS
local' Societies Form in
Factions" Against 'Big
Nationals.'
By POUTICUS.
Fraternities at Johns Hopkins
university. Baltimore. Md., have
the uppeihand In campus and so
cial activities, the editor of the
Johns Hopkins News-Letter has
shown In his letter to The Dslly
Ncbraskan, following the latter'a
Inquiry as to conditions on the
eastern campus.
There eems to be a caste dis
tinction between Greeks and non
Greeks, he says, that Is quite no
ticeable, yet is not so potent In
effect. Fraternities, however, dom
inate and control the all college
parties that are held there.
Fraternity Factions.
That all Is not well among the
Greeks is Indicated by the Balti
more school's editor, who states
that the problem of fraternities Is
"combination of locals against big
nationals." In a political way, the
organisations are not very stead
fast in their alignments, the fac
tion being '.'transitory."
The extent to which Greek let
ter societies participate in politics
Is in making "anianres only to se
cure elections or alliances only to
secure consolidated voting on per
sonalities." There is politics In
the Johns Hcpkins' elections, "but
no fraud," the political aspect be
ing "Important, but not as bad as
at most colleges."
