Senior Honorary
Societies.
Announcement of the three
Curnhuskcr songs selected as
best out of thirty-five sub
mitted in the contest which
ended Wednesday will be made
in Friday's Nebraskan by the
judges. Eddie Jungbluth, and Wil
bur Chenoweth. "We have so many
good songs, a really fine Nebraska
fight song is sure to be found," de
clared Virginia Selleck, member of
the Mortar Board committee.
The winning selections will be
played by the university band be
fore the Nebraska-Oklahoma game
so it is hoped by the song commit
tee that every student will coop
erate and learn the words to each
number by Saturday.
Hill Answers Letter.
In commenting on the student
pulse article "Why a New Song,"
Irving Hill declared, "Deficiency is
in the songs, not in the studen;
body. A song suitable to the pur
pose will sell itself; a catchy
rhythm will be naturally and spon
taneously sung and sung again,
without urging and without force.
None of our songs yet approach
this standard of excelence."
The contest was sponsored by
members of Innocents and Mortar
Boards, senior honoraries, with the
cooperation of The Daily Nebras
kan. A prize of twenty dollars will
be awarded the writer of the win
ning song, which will be chosen by
a vote of the students, after the
three chosen scripts have been
played by Billie Quick's band at
the game Saturday between Ne
braska and Oklahoma.
National Hit.
Attitude of Alaire Barkes, Mor
tar Board president, in regard to a
new Nebraska song is that "Ne
braska needs a 'hit' song one that
will be nationally known as repre
sentative of Nebraska, its spirit
and tradition."
"No Nebraska song that we now
have is recognized outside the bor
ders of our own state. Fight songs
of Notre Dame, Army, Navy, and
Maine are known in every corner
of the United States, because they
fit their schools and are distinctive.
It is time we were on the track of
something good," declared Gene
Pester, member of Innocents.

An Open Letter
To Mortar Board.
"THE Mortar Boards of J 935 have reiterated the stand taken
by their predecessors last year in outlawing politics and alli
ances from women's activities. Meddling alumnae have been
warned to keep hands off not only in the coming election for
honorary colonel and Nebraska sweetheart but in all activities
for all time. Full cooperation of all women's organizations will
be asked at a special meeting next Monday.
The Mortar Boards are to be commended for repeating this
move which last year worked marvels in cleaning up an un
wholesome condition which had plagued women's activities for
years. The convincing manner in which ancient alliances were
dissolved and the formation of new ones prevented is ample
proof that the same results can be obtained this year if all in
terested organizations cooperate.
The Mortar Boards are not all-powerful. If they arc to
succeed again they must have the support of every w omen's or
ganization in their campaign, and this we have every confidence
in their ability to do.
Now that, they have taken it upon themselves to prevent
politics in women's activities, however, there is a second step
which the senior women's honorary should make to clear up a
question which certain events of last spring brought into pronti

SENIOR WOM
FORMAL QUEEN TODAY
last year, members of the senior
honorary feel that this is an aus
picious time to again ask all wom
en to keep activities free of poli
tics. In order to insure against the
formation of alliances which
might be contemplated for tho
coming election, the honorary has
called a meeting of all sorority
and organized house presidents
for Monday at 5 o'clock in Ellen
Smith hall. Members will explain
the resolution adopted last year
and ask every president to endorse
this effort to keep campus poli
tics clean.
Coalitions Dissolved.
The step taken last year to ex
terminate several alliances then
existing between sororities, result
ed in the immediate dissolving of
all such coalitions. Bv again for
bidding any political agreements,
it is hoped that gins win De elect
ed on merit only and not because
of political alliances.
The resolution forbids organized
groups to draw up slates or force
girls to support certain candi
dates; requests interested alumnae
not to interfere with campus ac
tivities and elections; asks groups
to work to prevent men and wom
en's alliances insofar as they con
cern - women's elections: and
pledges the honorary to see that
all infringements are immediately
penalized and exposed.
No Trouble Anticipated.
"We are very pleased that theie
has been no trouble about alli
ances since last year's resolu
tion." stated Virginia Selleck.
Mortar Board member. "Although
we anticipate no trouble this year,
we think it important to announce
that Mortar Board takes the same
stand as last year.
"It is only through the co.opcr
ation of all women students on the
campus that Mortar Board 'an
accomplish that which they have
set out to do In their stand against
political alliances." affirmed Alaiie
Barkes, Mortar Board president.
"We hope the splendid co-operation
of sororities last year will be
continued as Mortar Board is
most anxious that the re-enforced
resolution will oe even more bene
ficial than las- year."

committee for the resolution ar
