Platforms Presented
By Warring Factions
PROGRESSIVE.
The trust that the student
body of a state university places
in its governing body should not
be one of partiality or favori
tism. Two years ago, the Pro
gressive Party was founded on
the common desire of it mem
bers to work for the wclfars of
the entire university, and that
party has been able to continue
the administration student gov
ernment because it holds to that
principle as the one most
worthy of student support.
This year, the Progressive
Party again advances candidates
who are pledged to continue the
widespread innovations and re
forms that will bring Nebraska
students the facilities and privi
leges they deserve as member
of a state supported university.
With them, we present our
platform, reasserting the princi
ples and projects that the Pro
gressive Council leadership has
successfully administered, and
Inaugurating new proposals for
the coming year.
1. Thru the efforts of a Pro
gressive Student Council, the
Student Book Exchange, opera
ted by the university, was in
stalled thli year to bring savings
as high as forty percent on re
sale and purchase of second
hand books to the student body.
Another Progressive council will
continue to further the Interests .
of the entire student body by
obtaining the highest resale
prices and lowest cost for their
textbooks.
2. Two years ago, the Progres
sive Party began a drive for a
Student Union building, that
went over the top In student sup
port, and after continued effort
won the approval or the admin
istration. In the latter part of
April, the buildicg received final
approval from PWA officials
and was placed on the preferred
list for action if the bill success

GREEK COUNCIL
The Greek council political party
was formed because of the dis
satisfaction of previous method of
distribution of honors among the
fraternal and barb groups. It has
been felt that true representation
by responsible candidates could not
be obtained under such a system.
With this view In mind an exclu
sive fraternal group has founded
a party for the purpose of select
ing meritorous candidates, irre
spective of some organization's
right to have an office, or political
plum.
The Greek council Is composed
entirely of fraternal groups be
cause of the widespread opinion
that organized groups are in a
better position to further the in
terests of the campus as a whole
and would serve to help stifle the
vociferous demands of selfish In
dividuals. We condemn most heartily Ihe
use of the spoils system In the ap
portionment of political plums.
The Creek council candidates will
not be bound by party ties and
will be free to make their appoint
ments upon the basis of merit and
not political affiliation.
The party deprecates all po
litical combinations among student
organizations, and which attempt
by understanding and compro
mise to monopolize, and control
any phase of campus politics and
elections. The Greek council party
promises to take active measures
to expose such combinations and
destroy this evil.
We propose a stringent syitem
of recall to hold over the heads of
all lax officers and which will
abolish the present state of leth
argy prevalent in student govern
ment. Liberation of outward and un
purposeful social life restrictions
is a reform which this party
favors and which we will urge to
the full extent of our ability.
We pledge our complete support
and co-operation with the Student
Union Building Drive.

NEW DIESEL ENGINE
Engineering Department to
Purchase Six Cylinder
$900 Machine.
The board of regents recently
approved the transfer of funds for
the purchase of a new six cyl
inder automotive type Diesel en
gine at a cost of about $900. The
new engine, which will be used for
instructional purposes only in the
mechanical engineering ' depart
ment of the University of Nebras
ka, develops 76 h. p. at 2,400 revo
lutions per minute, says Prof. Jiles
W. Haney, chairman of the depart
ment. The department at the present
time has only one full Diesel type
engine, a heavy two cylinder ma
rine type which develops 30 brake
horsepower. Since the more com
pact type of Diesels are now being
used in automobiles, buses, tract
ors, and for railroad service, this
automotive type engine became
necessary as laboratory equipment.
The Diesel engine does not re
quire an ignition system. the
charge being ignited due to high
compression temperature which re
sults from high compression pres
sure. In an ordinary automobile
engine the compression pressure
ranges from SO to 120 pounds per
square inch, but in the Diesel it is
500 pounds per square inch, ac
cording to Professor Haney.
There is a marked difference in
the fuel costs for operating this
I tvpe engine when compared with
l the present automobile engine. The
Diesrl uses a lower grade fuel oil
! weighing 7 1-2 pounds, costs 5 l-2c
and develops approximately 15
brake h. p. hours per gallon. The
average automobile engine uses a
standard gasoline weighing 6
pounds, costs 16 cents and will
develop approximately 8 1-2 brake
h. p. hours per gallon. This gives
the fuel costs for the Diesel en
gine at 0 366 cent per brake It. p.
hour against 1.60 cents per brake
h. p. hour for Ihe common auto
motive type engine. When this Is
computed on a mileage bisi for
a given car. the Diesel will better
than four time the mileage for the
same fuel cost.'

Giving an Impression of 1U real
purpose, a member of the choir
stated "that there may be on or

HOW LONG WILL THE
ALIGNMENT LAST?
Politicus Claims Parties
Pass With Friendships
As General Rule.
By Politicus VI.
College political parties are not
founded alone on creeds, plat
forms, or personalities. None of
these factors are strong enough
to carry the support of organized
campus factions. Parties are based
on personal friendships thrive on
them, and die with them.
But a curious phenomenon is
taking place on the Cornhusker
campus, one that threatens to dis
count greatly the logical conclu
sion to bo drawn from this funda
mental of college politics. The
present parties are apparently out
living their natural lives!
In a more recent period of an
cient campus history that golden
age of Joe College two years be
fore the crash Nebraska's polit
ical pie was sliced In thirteen sec
tions between fraternities on and
off the downtown campus. Now
don't say that here's an example
to disprove the above theory, for
this arrangement was the result,
not the cause, of the alignments.
Thirteen Slices.
The thirteen slices went to thir
teen fraternities represented in
Innocents Society, and the parties
were designated the "Slippery
Seven" and "Oily Six."
Friendships changed, parties
changed. The barbs grew as a po
litical factor, formed a third strong
party, heralded the approach of
"Boss" Williams. Resettlement
came, and the emerging combines
were labeled "Yellow Jackets" and
"Blueshirts." The latter, with the
support of large fraternities, won
every election until Yellow Jacket
leaders effected a coalition with
the barbs. Then political fortunes
changed, and would have kept
changing back and forth, but the
time had expired another genera
tion of friendships had passed.
Dramatically, two evenings be
fore the fall election, a new group
of student leaders launched the
"Green Toga" faction, with no fac
tor of success overlooked except
Ag campus. Speedily reorganizing
the day before election, the left
over fraternities, friends by neces
sity rather than choice, cam
paigned with fervor enough to

was provided to give new candi
dates and those who had been
stricken from the ballot an oppor
tunity to enter their names. Poll
ing places in Temple theater and
in Ag hall will remain open from
8:45 until 9 o'clock Tuesday.
After eligibility of all candi
dates was checked at the dean
of student affair's office, It was
revealed that several contestants
were ineligible under the 12-27. .
hours ruling. In explaining the
changed rule and validating the
eligibility of the candidates
whose names were temporarily
erased from the ballot, Irving
Hill, president of the student
council said:
"Inasmuch as the candidates
elected to these offices do not
receive authority until next fall,
the ruling is made that such
candidates need not have 27
hours in this university before
filing. If at the end of this year,
they will have the requisite num
ber of 27 hours and are in tiro
required class and college, their
filings will be allowed.
"Some candidates, because of
misinterpretation of this rule,
were dissuaded from filing for
the above named offices. To give
such candidates the chance to
take advantage of the above in
terpretation, filings will be re
ceived in the student activities
office in the coliseum until noon
on Monday of those candidates
who are in the required college
and year but who have not com
pleted 27 hours in this university
to date."
In previous years polling places
opened at 9 o'clock. This year the
earlier opening hour was estab
lished to provide wider opportunity
on both campuses for student par
ticipation in the important elec
tion. Offices to which the new Inter
pretation applies are barb council,
ag executive board, student coun
cil. Farmers' fair board, and Coll-Agrl-Fun.
The statement was
signed by Irving Hill and E. W.
Lantz, faculty advi&cr.
If there is any omission of
names from the ballot by those
who filed and there is any dispute,
a certificate of eligibility must be
obtained by noon Monday and be
placed in the student council mail
box. Identification cards must neces
sarily be presented at the polls,
Hill declared. Duplicate cards for
those who have lost the original
mav be obtained all day Monday
at the registrar's office. They can
not be obtained on the day of
election.
