BOARD OF REGENTS TO DETERMINE ACTIVITIES TAX FATETHIS WEEK Student Council Committee Will Present Report Next Meeting. The student activity tax commit tee with Byron Goulding as chair man is now at work compiling a comprehensive report on the pro posed plan to be submitted to the Board of Regents this week, it was announced Saturday. The decision of the governing board will deter mine the fate of the blanket tax plan which ras been hanging fire for over a year. Introduced Last Year. The plan of a general tax to cover all major student activities was introduced last spring follow ing the form of similar plans in other universities. A student vote was taken last spring favoring the proposed plan but was later dropped ami never reached the Board of Regents. The idea was revived with the taking of a poll of student opinion at the time of a comfortable majority of 1,255 to 736, favoring, however, only two of the suggested items, the ath letic ticket and the Daily Nebras kan. To Study Records. Before submitting the final re port the committee will study the business records and histories of the organizations so as to present an unbiased report to the board. If the blanket tax is accepted the athletic ticket will sell for $5 and the newspaper will cost fifty cents a semester. The Cornhusker was also included on the ballot in Jan uary but because of the several alternate schemes offered a suffi cient majority was not obtained. The humor magazine, the Awg wan, which was listed at sixty cents a semester, also lost out in the general student poll, the pro posed student union fee of ten cents meeting the same fate. Student council opinion seemed to be that the year book lost be cause of the confusion over the several plans submitted and be cause of the adverse freshman and sophomore vote. SPRING ELECTION PARTY PLATFORM OF PROGRESSIVES The Progressive Party submits the following platform to the stu dents of the University: 1. The Progressive party stands for honesty in student government. We feel that unquestionable hon esty is particularly important in the conduct of campus elections. Student government can never function at maximum efficiency nor can it have the support and trust of the student body as long as there is suspicion, distrust or actual malfeasance in the conduct of elections. Regardless of whether or not dishonesty has occurred in the conduct of elections by the ex isting government, we feel that an adequate safeguard must be estab lished to check all suspicion and doubt concerning the conduct of elections. We pledge ourselves to the erection of a faculty commit tee to actively supervise all stu dent elections whether these elec tions be for the regular political or honorary offices. 2. The Progressive party de mands virility and true represen tation on the part of student offi cers. We promise that any candi date elected ""drr thr Prrmiivf banner shall be held strictly ac countable to the party and to his duties. We advocate more potent and stringent methods of recall for cases of laxity in office: 3. The Progressive party depre cates the incessant political man euvering and "wire pulling" prac ticed by the aspirants to the sen ior honorary societies. We pledge ourselves to support all methods of reorganization of student govern ment which will tend to minimize this very cogent evil; 4. The Progressive party depre cates all political combinations among student organizations, and which attempt, by understandings and compromise to monopolize and control any phase of campus poli tics and elections. We promise to taKe active measures to expose such combinations and destroy this evil; 5. The Piogressive party stands consistently for progress in cam pus life. We believe that the time has come when economic condi tions ana the state of many cam pus activities demand the estab lishment of a suitable student ac tivity tax plan. We pledge our selves to the erection of a tax plan which will remedy the defects as found in these plans already pre sented and. at the same time, in- t Continued on Page 4 ) BARBS ANNOUNCE III FILING DEADLINE Extension Gives Opportunity Larger Number File for Council Posts.

Vale, political editor of the Phila delphia Daily News. A list of the questions for which Vale wants general answers are as follows: 1. Does the student body re gard government control of indus try, ( manufacturing, agriculture, finance, merchandising, etc. t as sound permanent policy or as a temporary move to be used only in a national emergency? 2. Does the student body regard it as calculated to restrict or en courage youth? 3. Do your associates feel that the future holds as much for them under a controlled sociai state as under what has been termed the j individualistic system? ; 1 4. Have the recent national poli- i des or the possibilities of exten-, sion of control caused any changes in the plans of your associates or ; created any sense of doubt as to their future ? j Identical communications were sent to approximately 100 class presidents in widely scauerea sec tions of the country. It is Vale's intention to prepare an article for publication based upon the replies icceived. HOWARD WHITE HEADS, Ail PARTY COMMITTEE Annual Spring Affair Is Scheduled for April 21.

E Parties Seek Justification At Polls as Finish Fight Looms. By SOLON. Political war clouds hover over the campus today as Nebraska political factions prepare for what promises to be one of the closest and hardest fought spring elec tions in severalseasons on Tuesday. Concentrated efforts are being made by both tactions to stage an overwhelming victory and strike a decisive blow at their opponents. Some idea of the battle's aspect may be had from the high total of fifty-five who have filed for stu dent council, publications board, and Ivy Day orator, and which ap parently indicates that student council offices have taken on greater importance. Togas Lead in Holdovers. The Green Togas were off to a lead in the race for a council ma jority next year when the student council elected three Green Togas to one Progressive as holdover members of the council Wednes day. Progressives must carry eight oi the thirteen male council posi tions in the election to gain an equal footing with Green Togas in the council, and without opposition in Teachers college, appaiently have one office already. Rumors of dissension within both factions were rife on the cam pus throughout the past week as keen competition developed in fac tion races for nominations. Threat ened splits have failed to material ize to date, however, and members of both parties seem solidly ar rayed behind their faction slates. Seek Justification.
