Associated GoUeeide Pta Distributors of GbEeeiofeDteest The Fiction of "All Reform Is Good Reform." Vote today if for no other reason than the opportunity that becomes yours to tell your grand children that you voted in the last student election at Nebraska when those nasty factions were given the privilege of indicating who they were backing. "Gee, grandpa, "they'll say, 'I'll bet you're cer tainly proud of your part In cleaning up the campus. Why, things were so bad then, they tell us, that even the Student Council voted down the reform measure, and the voters had to exercise that god given constitutional power of initiative." If grandpa beamed in answer, it would indicate that he hadn't kept in touch with campus activities after ending his college career with such a noble gesture. Time proved that Nebraska's student gov ernment wasn't able to function quite as effectively when a major flywheel the political party was removed from the machinery, and nothing was sub stituted in its place. It must be the experimental unicameral legisla ture, on our very doorstep, that motivated these retormers. But the unicameral provided for a system of non-partisan primaries, without mention ing other assurances that the state election system offers to insure that the man elected is a man of merit. The desire for men of merit In student office is obviously the excuse for the reform bill. But reform ing can be negative; if it only eliminates part of trie present machinery, without replacing with bet ter parts, it is destructive reform. The political faction now performs, as an Integral part of our governmental machinery, a preliminary VOTERS NOMINATE IVY DAY SPEAKER, INNOCENTS TODAY (Continued from Page 1.) hall on the Ag campus. Besides the traditional Ivy day orator posi tion. 30 candidates will be named from whom the Innocents society will choose its successors. As introduced before the Stu dent Council by Bill Marsh and Frank Landis, the faction reform amendment provides that in the future all faction names will be deleted from the identification of candidates. If the amendment passes in the student vote and re ceives the approval of the faculty senate and board of regents, the names will not be included on the ballots at the spring election when next year's members of Student Council are elected. First Woman to File. For the first time in the history of the university, a woman has filed in the race for Ivy day ora tor. She is Sarah Louise Meyer, senior in the arts and sciences col lege. Other three candidates are CharlPS Ledwith. Miles Johnston and Frank Landis, all seniors in the law college. All four orator candidates have figured prominently on the cam pus. Sarah Louise Meyer Is the outstanding columnist on the Daily Nebraskan staff and last week presided as mistress of ceremonies at the annual Coed Follies. Frank Landis has been a member of Stu dent Council and active in the f ghts which won th student book store and Studpnt Union building. Charles Ledwith, last year's drum major of the R. O. T. C. band, has been a member of Persh-1 lng rifles and Sinfonia. The fourth j candidate. Miles Johnston, has also made his years on the campus ones of prominence. Progressives Support Meyer. Altho all candidates filed as in dependents, the progressive faction has thrown its support behind Farah Louise Meyer and Frank Landis Is supported by the liberal faction, despite the fact that the r.ewly formed faction Is not offi cially recognized by the student council. Charles Ledwith and Miles Johnston have the backing of their respective law fraternities. Lists of all Juniors In the uni versity will be posted at the polling places to aid the voters In their selection of the 30 men most quali fied to receive the signal honor. All names marked on the ballot must be those of different juniors. If more or less than five namn are written on the ballot, or if any of the names are not those of Juniors, the entire ballot will be ciiscarded. Innocents to Select. Aft-r the votes are compiled a list of the 30 men with weighted averages of i per cent or more j who have received the largest I number of votes will be presented by the faculty committer to the : Innocent society. From this group i of juniors the 1937-'37 honorary society will bf selected. Only Junior and senior men will be per mitted to vote for the Innocent society candidates. Because of the even match of the candidates In both the Ivy day orator race and the Innocent so ciety competition, Arnold Levin, student council president, declared that he expected a very Urge turn out at the polls. Ha added that this fact would further be en hanced by the controversial atti tudes th; have been expressed concerning the factional amend ment, Present Identification Cards No student will be permitted to vote without first presenting his TIIIIM Y-SIXTH YKAR $2.60 mailed P ii b I I h t d every Tuesday.

They have ruled campus politics for a number of years, but the loss of the barbs last fall might have teen fatal. Landis Looks Strong. The opposing faction which Is still without any recognized rams is throwing their suoport behind Frank Landis and If the barb vote goes behind him, he looks like a mighty strong runner.

There is sufficient proof to snow that men of merit are elected. These men are automatically shoved into the leaders' positions. Stragglers and dead weight are still found, and for this reason, proponents of the amendment believe their legislation justified. But they have failed to prove that meritorious men go begging for office. There may be better men around the campus, but their interests probably He In fields other than stu dent activities. Possibly they once read a book. Chances are the amendment would fall to remove the taction influence In elections; parties would still De able to publicize their candidates outside the polls. If it were effective, the benefits of preliminary selection would be nullified, and an election from a long list of dabblers would inevitably result in a popularity contest. We fail to see that ability to perform the duties of student government naturally follows from any of the peculiar devices by which a student may gain general campus notoriety. We believe that stu dent offices should be occupied by students of ability, if they are interested in extra-curricular activities. The fundamental assumption behind all tnese beliefs is that student government Is some thing worth worrying about worth making the most of. If you've ever realized any past enefits or future possibilities of Nebraska student government, and we might list them sometime, your vote Is worth "making the most of" to keep a system that has yet to see a better substitute.

He has been active in campus activities and is a leader in the law college and the strength of Phi Delta Phi is fairly well established. Miles Johnston, is the fourth candidate and represents the un affiliated men on the campus. If he can get the support of the or ganized barbs he will run a good race, but it has been rumored that the barb council was going to stick to faction lines. At the same time ths.t would be campus spellbinders are fight ing it out for the right to speak on Ivy Day, voters will decide the fate of a much discussed resolu tion to withdraw faction names from the ballots in student elec tions.

The world forgets a deal In 20 years. By now the Kosrcet Klub show opening night is university and legislative history. And the rec ords of the world are rf-made each time the male section of the cam pus feminizes for the annual event. But the metamorphosis is not an easy one. Being a woman comes very hard by most men. The dainty, too small footwear is torture, and they lack the years of conditioning nec essary to accustom them to the agony. They are extremely self conscious over their newly ac quired curves, and perpetually afraid their feminity will slip out of shape. The hot, tight wigs, un flattering at best, are another irri tation. But the most sheepishness evolves from the makeup process, the cupid's bowing of pipe-hardened mouths, the pinking of wind tanned cheeks, the powdering of manly bugles. Greater tolerance for the womanly hs.bit of tardiness due to beautlfica'.lon comes from Kosmet participation tr.nn from any other single seasoning pro cess. Few femmes may dip their fin gers In the show pie. Those who do are always something special. Thus It was that Portia Boyton flaunted so proudly three ribbons for her work In Klub shows past and present decorations as a member, worker and one of the cast. 0RCHESIS PROGRAM FEATURES ROUTINES ON LABOR DISPUTES (Continued from Page 1.) "Circles" shows how movement and pattern may emphasize one dance form. A group of dances entitled "Pictures from Life" depicts fa miliar everyday scenes. One of them, "Gosaips," portrays the little story of a village flirt and her antics. Then the village gossiper gets in her activity. The dance ends happily with both flirt and gossip being accepted socially by the sewing circle. One of the most striking dances to be presented by the guest per formers, the Dance club of Omaha Municipal university, will un doubtedly be "Green Tables," ac cording to Claudia Moors, "It Is a satire on the Jooss Ballet which Is a tske-off on the League of Nations, making "Green Tables" a take-off on a take-off, as It were" explained Miss Moore. 1 . v .31 ai.:t''i is it -' Just before Monday afternoon's unicameral convened for a many sided debate on highway patrol amendments, we approached Sen ator H. F. Brandt while he was reading a letter rwi", no doubt, from one of his con ,n- stltuents. B Senator Brandt y -f took enough time f -a-' from his work of legislation to tell us his opin ions of certain bills and of the legislature as a whole. Striking at the legislature, but In no way criti cizing the unl- cameral form of.s.au"! legislative gov ernment, the Beatrice senator staunchly pointed out that he be lieves there should be at least eu senators representing the various districts of Nebraska. "When we realize that at the present time there are 187 reg istered lobbiests here, and that there are only 43 senators, the people must need a better repre sentation. Every lobbiest that I have seen here, and there are some, no doubt, that are not registered, are very capable peo ple. They do nothing more than present the facts for their side of the legislative argument." Senator Brandt is a member of the appropriations committee and the committee on revenue and tax ation. He represents district 21 or Gage county. Having served in both the regular and special ses sions of '35, he has had consider able experience as a legislator. Mr. Brandt looks to his acquaint ances and experiences with the legislature as the most important things he can receive while he is a senator. Social security and taxation to the Beatrice senator are the most vital issues that will come before this year's assembly. As a sponsor of the emergency relief measure that came before the unicameral several weeks ago, Mr. Brandt be lieves in legislation that will benefit 90 percent of the people instead of 10 percent of the Ne braska populace. He also believes that the "little fellow" should have as fair representation as the "big interests." The district 21 representative was also a sponsor of bin JJl, which provides for a half mill levy to form a state building fund. No. 334 has passed the committee of the whole and will probably come from the committee on en rollment and review today. "After having Inspected the asylum at Hastings, and the Institution at Beatrice, I have realized the deplorable condi tions of some of the buildings of state institutions. Conditions, I also found as the appropria tions committee visited these in stitutions, were very over crowded. The one-half mill levy is the much easier form of tax ation. There is no evidence that I can see that the measure will not pass the assembly. Should the governor veto the bill, we can only to pass the measure over his head," Senator Brandt stated. Mr. Brandt is a democrat, and has served as towvship chairman, assessor, and a member of the board of education of Beatrice. He was graduated from Beatrice high school, is 54. and has four chil dren. He is a dairy farmer and a breeder of thoroughbred Holsteln cattle. P.esidlng In the country for ."53 years. Mr. Brandt was born In West Prizen, Germany.

Dr. Ervine Inglis, well-known advisor of college youth of Gree ley, Colo., will present first of a seriees of three talks this evening at the Wesley Foundation to a group of students representing all the different religious organiza tions of the campus. Dr. Inglis, whom many stu dents have already met at youth gatherings or Estes Park confer ences, has been 'brought to Lin coln by the Council of Rjligious Welfare to be the principal speak er of their Religious Emphasis Week which will continue thruout Thursday. Other Tuesday meetings will in clude a luncneon of the Religious Welfare Council at 12 o'clock In the Grand hotel and the Y. M. C. A. vespers at 5 o'clock In Ellen Smith hall. On both of these oc casions Dr. Inglis will talk. All university students are urged to attend the general meet ings which will be held tonight, and on Wednesday and Thursday evenings in the Wesley Founda tion, nnd if any question should arise in their minds resulting from his talk, Dr. Inglis' invites them to interview him personally. President of the student group of the council Bill Williams and past president Theaople Wolfe, Dr. C. H. Patterson, chairman of the faculty group of the council, Miss Lulu Runge, president of the en tire group of pastors, compose the committee in charge of the week for religious emphasis. Wright Points to Disinterest of Unaffected Persons as Pri mary Cause of International Conflict. (Continued from Page 1.) even fewer individuals ever become concerned." Pointing to the work of1 the col lege student in maintaining peace, Wright pointed out that it would be logical to assume that the in tellectuals will be the persons who win solve the peace problem. Then by logic, the young Vermonter maintained, college students should become our intellectuals, our "leaders in thought of tomorrow." Look to the Future. We cannot see why people with supposedly good brains do not look to the future and form their con clusions. To my knowledge every good business man always looks 3 to 6 years in the future. Since the student generation can solve the problem, and it affects them di rectly, they are more qualified than any one else to be concerned." right maintained, even wag ered, that not more than 10 out of 50 students of the university at large would know the names of their congressman or representa tives. For this reason the peace leader claimed that students are the worst citizens. Then logically it follows, he said, that we have bad government and finally war. Demoiracy Dying. "Besides ir.' rely averting war, which to me is very Important, we have other interests. The real bat tle for democracy Is Just begin ning. At the present time our de mocracy is in the court receiving its judgment. It Is slowly dying in Japan; it has completely died in Italy and Germany," the peace organizer maintained. Wright asserted that democracy Is made up of the people, sug gested that government is run by a few, and declared that people should and can make democracy peaceful. As a leader In a peace organization headed by outstand ing churchmen all over the na tion, and supported by Admiral Byrd. Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, and others, the peace maker sug gests a "lobby of enlightened people." Christianity Enters. "Christianity also enters Into the picture logically." Wright de clared. "There is no Christian way of killing. Our most successful spies are the most patriotic to our country and yet are being un christian. In fact, I would say thrat there is no single crime and vice that is not a virtue in the time of war. But these are all thrown in the bag railed patriot Ism. Yes, just a lot of people think that whf-n we go to war we should pack Christianity in moth balls till we come back." Resuming his logic snd Involv ing a Platonic curiosity, Wright asked himself if there was a sci ence to killing. He was sure that there was no art to killing. If war comes, then, we must put our flag above our God. Prevention Nccetsary. "Since churches believe war is the greatest of sins, and wars oc cur because no one does anything about them, then, by logic, it is as much a sin to not prevent a war as It is to fight In one." Stuart Wright graduated from the University of Vermont with a Ph.D. degree and then did gradu ate work in sociology at the Uni versity of Columbia. Because he had Ideas, and wanted to see whether or not they were correct he went Into peace work. Since that time he has classified people into six classes. Those Who Want Peace. First In the classification of genus, Mr. Wright asserts, are those who want peace. Basically this class la divided Into three groups: the peace worker, who works for peace, the obligatlonist, who feels obligated to his coun try's peace, and finally the paci fist, who is a combination of all peace movements. On the other side, however, are those more Interesting. First, there are the "dodoes." This claas, ac cording to the peace "nuclelzer," think that war Is Inevitable and tloea nothing about it. The sec ond class sjp the "Jellyfiabes," Infantry Officers. The Infantry Officers associa tion will meet Wednesday, April 14, at 7:30 in Nebraska hall. All Infantry officers are urged to at tend this important meeting. This group oozes along in life and alwavs backs ut If necessary. Thirdly, there is the "mugwump," probably known to all. This class is always on the fence. "The 'mugwumps' are better than the 'dodoes' or the Jelly fishes: however, because he at least has brains enough to get on the other side of the fence, and he has power enough to get half way over the fence. A.A.U.W.T ALL SENIOR UN Coeds to Attend Reception at Governor's Mansion on April 17. Senior women will be entertained at a tea Saturday, April 17, by the Lincoln branch of the American Association of University Women at 2 o'clock in the governor's man sion. Following the reception, the guests will see a puppet show given by Miss Marjorle Shanafelt, curator of visual education, in the manston's ballroom. Miss Margaret Fedde, general chairman of the tea, has issued in' vitations to the seniors of the 60 houses on the campus, and she urges that all of the coming grad uates take advantage of this op portunity to acquaint themselves with the A. A. U. W. The Lincoln branch o fthe association, of which Mrs. J. O. Hertzler is the presi dent, is one of the several branches of the organization In Nebraska which the seniors may Join to keep up their university affiliation after their graduation. The American Association of University Women is an organiza tion open to all graduates of uni versities and other accredited schools. At Nebraska the group has an annual project of granting between two and four J50 gift scholarships to undergraduates. Working on the committee for the seniors' tea among other Lin coln A. A. U. W. members are Mrs. A. E. Burnett and Miss Amanda Heppner. RENOVATED "BAR-0 RANCH" BETTERS 1932 HIT VERSION (Continued from Page 1.) Raber as the vaudeville team stranded on their way to Albu querque and keeps the slap in slap stick. The chorus Is again hilariously a riot with their unrhythmic routines and shapely figures of feminity. Particularly adept is Neil Parks come hither glance and Bill Pugsley's cuddling ways. But none surpass James Baer's rumba wriglings and swaying torso. Played by the Beck-Jungbluth orchestra, Joyce Ayres and David Ross1 "I'm Riding Back to Ari zona," one of the outstanding songs of the show is sung by Don Boehm and the quartet which has been featured over KFOR. Six other sentimental lyrics and music by Portia Boy n ton and Smith DavU swing with the best of 1937 hits. Don Boehm and Kermit Han sen, the musical leads, sing better than they act. Catchy, colorful dialogue issuing from the voluminous voice of Mrs. Van Fleet is hard to surpass for an amateur performance, however, It was too bad someone told Hansen he was good since he begs the house for every crack. Added western atmosphere is furnished by Melvin Beermsnn, expert rope twirler who Kosmet fans will remember was featured In the prize winning Ag campus act In last November's Kosmet show. Despite the play dragging, too much horsing in the pony chorus, misfit costumes, and obvious back sts? onlookers and the prompter's knee being ever In prominence from behind the props, Herb Yenne's 1B37 Kosmet show is a hit. GERMANIC DEPARTMENT WILL SPONSOR PICTURE Varsity Theater to Give 2 Showings of Talkie on April 17. To facilitate the teaching of for eign languages, the department of Germanics announces the showing 01 a uerman screen piay, Abel With the Mouth Harp, which will be given Saturday, April 17th at 9 and 10:30 a. m. at the Varsity theater. The play in another in a series of talking moving pictures in German sponsored for the bene fit of students who are registered for German courses. The story by Manfred Haus mann Is essentially the stirring ac count of the cruise of two lads In a small auxiliary-sloop down the Weser river to the sea and1 of a double adventure that they ex perience. The production's first adventure concerns itself with the rescue of Abel, and the second when a bal loon la about to droD Into the mi close to the boat and the heroine Is thrown into the water to be rescued by Abel who falls in love with her. But she cannot forget the man who haved the balloon at ber expense and when he is found Abel is forgotten and turns boy like to his mouth harp and a promise of more adventure for his consolation.

"Survivals That Last" Is the topic of the lecture that Dr. Abram Leon Sachar, nationally famous historian, biographer and educator, will deliver when he makes his first appearance in Lin coln Tuesday night. He will speak at the Lindell hotel at 8:30. All students and faculty members are invited to attend. x Typical of the immense appeal of Dr. Sachar as a lecturer Is the fact that his classes In the field of modern European and English history at the University of Illi nois have continually been among the most popular on the campus, filled by both students and visitors. Popular Forum Speaker. During the past two years, Dr. Sachar has placed first among 26 speakers in the program spon sored by the Sinai Forum in Chi cago. Each year a poll Is taken where 2,300 course patrons are given an opportunity to express their preference. Educated at Washington and Harvard universities, followed by three years of post graduate re search at Cambridge, Dr. Sachar received the degree of doctor of philosophy for his work upon the Victorian House of Lords. His appearance in Lincoln is sponsored by the local Senior Hadassah organization. (BcUxbahiAMA, By John and Joan Barb. Unaffiliated college women who have heretofore cast longing eyes and yearned for the close knit ties of slstership and the corresponding social and career-building advan tages offered by sorority member ship, but who have been debarred by impregnable financial or social barriers, can take comfort from the conclusions of several promi nent delegates to the intercolleg iate association of women stu dents. We quote a portion of an Associated Press dispatch: "All sorority members them selves, they (the delegates) as serted a Greek letter pin is no longer a requisite for a successful career as a coed. 'Until recently, the socalled INDEPENDENT GIRL was virtually lost on most college campuses,' said Katherine Skehan, of Cornell. 'Usually she wasn't popular socially and had almost no chance to hold any stu dent offices. But that's changing rapidly now.' 'As a matter of fact,' agreed Lois Baird of Denison university, 'If a girl is ambitious to hold of fices, it Is sometimes easier if she is an INDEPENDENT.' 'At Michigan state college, said Jane Shaw, 'sororities are declin ing in Importance for the same reason.' Janet Dempster, another Cornell delegate, said: 'Some sorority girls who live In the dormitories with the INDEPENDENTS, have discovered you don't have to have a pin to be charming and attrac tive.' 'Of course, it's grand to belong,' said Jean Fair of the University of Illinois. 'I guess It's Just hu man to feel the need of member ship in a group. You form mar velous friendships that last long after college Is over. But. whereas girls used to be heartbroken if they weren't rushed by some so rority, now the ambitious ones are tending to weigh the pros and cons, and some of them prefer not to Join.' Mr. Victor Morava Barb: Nebraska Campus. Dear Victor: Yesterday thru your Student Pulse contribution you asked what the Barb "platform" Is. "If the so called Barb leaders can show me where there Is anything to fight for. and how it can be accom plished." you said, "I can show thnm some support." Today, Victor, you can support that Barb cause which has been talked about, written about, dis cussed, cussed and everything else but voted about. Today there Is an election on three pertinent campus Issues In each of which Barbs should hsve an Interest: Ivy Dsy Orator. Innocents election snd the proposed faction amendment. Joan and John Barb not being the "socaHed Barb political bosses.' but only columnists, who like your self, are trying to analyze the causes for the present Barb polit ical Impotence and to suggest cures. We cannot, therefore, lay down a platform which would ac curately represent the united polit ical belief of the scattered and at present unorganized Barb groups, except Insofar as we as column ists express viewpoints from time to time, outlining the policies for which we think the Barbs should stand. But we can tell you, Victor, to come out and vote for Barbs today and to vote down the pro posed constitutional amendment, which If passed, would undoubtedly banish the last hope of Barbs ever getting anywhere politically as In dependents.
