Confident that university stu

in the fall class election than in
previous years, both campus po

Progressive, open what portends
to be a hotly contested campaign
with a published statement of their
respective platforms in this morn

While campus politics have been
more or less submerged beneath
the wave of student interest in
state and national politics, both
factions have been meeting regu
larly, and at this time have se
lected their candidates for the class
presidencies in addition to com-pir-tuig
the task of writing plat
forms. At a meeting of the Green Toga
faction held last night, a firm reso

carry the banner of their party
to vict Dry in both races, and if
they are successful in this respect
it wid be the first slate sweeping

Platforms
PROGRESSIVES.
The progressive Party submits
the following platform to the stu
dent body of the university.
1. The Progressive party stands
for honesty in student government.
We feel that unquestionable hon
esty is particularly important fn
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 eletclons. We pledge ourselves
to a continuance of our existing
political standards which are above
reproach.
2. The Progressive party prom
ises that any candidate elected
under our banner shall be held
strictly accountable to the party
and to his duties.
3. The Progressive party depre
elates the incessant political man
euvering and "wire pulling" prar
ticed by the aspirants to the senior
honorary societies. We heartily
endorse the recent stand of the
Mortar Board in this respect. We
pledge ourselves to support all
methods of reorganization of stu
dent government which will tend
to minimize this very cogent evil.
4. The progressive party de
preciates many of the blind and
ante-dated restrictions which gov
ern campus social life. We pledge
ourselves to an active campaign
for the liberalization of those re
strictions. We favor mixed swim
ming, a more reasonable closing
for the sonority and organized
houses, and the contlnuancy of
progress in the social life of the

Dusty 1921 Daily Nebraskan Files Tell
Story of Huskers' First Win Over the
Pittsburgh Panthers by 10 to 0 Score
"Outplaying, outfighting and outgeneraling their oppo
nents, the Nebraska Cornhuskers defeated the Pittsburgh
Panthers in the greatest gridiron battle of the year today by
a seore of 10 to 0. Most of the Nebraska gains made daring tin;
early part of the gams were through the center of the line. The
Husker victory came as a surprise C
to Pittsburgh pigskin fans as well
as to most of the football fans over
the country. Betting favored the
Pitt athletes 10 to 3 and 10 to 4
before the game. The chilliness of
the weather held the attendance
down."
Thus runs the story of Ne
braska's only victory over the
Panthers as told in the dusty files
of the 1921 Dally Nebraskan.
"This might wen be the lead or
Sunday Daily Ncbraskan's game
story, with the exception of the
