I'HICi: 1 ivi: CKNTS ELECTIONS TAKE PLACE TODAY oil V GOMON EXPLAINS STAND TAKEN BY YELLOW JACKETS Both Parties Hold Rallies At Sorority Houses to v Drum Up Votes. GIRLS SEEM JIMPARTIAL Both Faction Presidents Think Men Comprising Slates Capable. By THE OBSERVER Closing all final pre-campaign activity in the hopes of getting so rority votes, both the Blue Shirt and Yellow Jacket political fac tions last night conducted sere nades, simultaneously making a verbal presentation of their slates to co-ed voters. Explaining why the Yellow Jackets issued merely a formal statemnet concerning today's elec tion instead of drawing up a party platform, Neal Gomon, president of the Yellow Jacket faction, yes terday chided the Blue Shirts for their political maneuvers per formed by means of a faction plank. "Last fall." declared Gomon, "the Blue Shirts issued a 'joke' platform, admitting that such planks were 'asinine' and that no one ever lived up to the pledges. At the second semester, however, they changed their tactics and again put out a serious platform, which, in all fairness to both groups concerned, it must be d mitted was not lived up to even though they had a complete slate of candidates elected. "Blue Fallacy." "We are inclined to believe," he continued, "that the Blue Shirts have committed a material fallacy by . previously.. . promising that if their men were elected at the second semester voting they would see that something of a permanent nature be erected on the campus. As yet we have seen nothing erected of such a nature although an entire Blue Shirt slate was elected and they have had three months in which to begin construction." "The Yellow Jacket faction is heartily in accord with the new Blue Shirt recommendation that the drill field be moved to its new position, especially since it has previously been announced that "such a transfer of drilling grouds will automatically take place this summer.

Editor nntr: Material for Oil artirlr wan obtained from M Ultra Kerr. former editor of The laily Nebrankan at Uie time when the names of the factions were r-hunged. What's in a name? The names Blue Shirts and Yellowjackets mean something to those of the campus realm even if they only signify haberdashery to the rest of the world. The origin of the name Blue Shirt occurred prior to the spring election of 1927. The Yellowjackets had their name thrust upon them by the Blue Shirts who adopted the name "Blue Shirts" for the election. The ."Oily Sixes" now dubbed "Yellowjackets" at first objected to their new name, but when the Daily Nebraskan took it up, and when the ratio in the Inno cents selection was changed from a seven to six split to a ten to three WIN HONORS 1 .Hill -.WPPMWM Courtesy ol The Journal.

The Daily Nebraskan under the editorship of Bill Cejnar wished to promote interest in the spring election of 1927. The "Slippery Sevens" changed their name and held special rallies before the elec tion. A plan was decided upon whereby all member of that fac tion would don blue shirts in order that they might be distinguished from their rivals.

We feel that the success of any student activity must de pend upon the capacity of the students participation in its di rection next year will mean the success or failure of the new Student council constitution. Atele mei and women should be awarded seats on the council in order that the council will realize the fullest measure of success under its new constitu tion. The Yellow Jacket faction points with pride to the men it has nominated as possessing the requisite native ability and experience to administer effi ciently the duties of office. On the basis rf '-s well qualified candidates, the Yellow Jacket faction solicits support at the election Tuesday.
