Green Toga and Progressive, open what portends to be a hotly contested campaign with a published statement of their respective platforms in this morn ing's Nebraskan. 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 lution was made by the group to 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 scored by the newly formed fac tion.

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 (Continued on Page 2.)

That "We're going to boat Pitt" spirit soared on in tho Cornhusker camp as old grads, the loyal supporters of tins Scarlet, returned to the scenes of their past glories. Lining the field in their Scarlet and Cream "N" sweaters, the men who carried the burden of Nebraska's football teams in past skirmishes with Pit tsburgh, watched their posterity polish its defense for the invading Panthers against the frosh. Formidable appearing were those members of bygone teams, but their late successors held the spot light as they broke up passes as attempted by the freshman snap ers, and reviewed their own Pitt formations.
