Temple meeting
The old gave way to the new
last night as the Progressives and
the newly formed Barb-Liberal
factions discarded the traditional
torch parades and held a non-partisan
political rally in the Temple
auditorium.
Foes and frlend3 alike passed

Four hundred students crowded
the Temple, some Liberals, some
Barbs, some Progressives a
strange gathering to be seen in

Mason opens rally.
John Mason opened the meeting
by reminding students that "We
may be Liberals, we may be Pro
gressives, we may be Barbs, but
we are all Nebraskans." To
strengthen the fraternal spirit, the
audience snng, "There Is No Place
Like Nebraska."
Cheers for the Liberals, Pro
gressives, and Barbs followed the
singing, after which John Mason
explained that the purpose of the
mass non-partisan meeting is "to

Bizad Independents out of race;
polls will be open from 8 to 5
By Elizabeth Clark.
With the Bizad Independent faction definitely not in the election
because of the failure of the Student Council to take action in its meet
ing yesterday afternoon, the big election of the year today will decide
political fate until next spring of the two major parties, the newly
formed Barb-Liberal coalition and the Progressives.
A quorum was not present at
ernoon because of the absence of representatives of the Progressive
faction. Professor E. W. Lantz, faculty advisor to the Council, ex
plained to the group his reasons for declaring that the Bizad Independ

Danger in college factions.
Furthermore, if colleges were allowed to form factions, serious
consequences would result. Inter-college rivalries would be formed, and
distinctions made, where few exist now. And colleges which were dom

where a majority of those enrolled are women, because women are not

say that proportional representation refers to faction vote and not to

THE PLATFORMS
Progressive
The progressive party, ever
mindful of its obligations to the
student body, the University of
Nebraska, and in the interest of
continued good student govern
ment, pledges itself to carry out
the following program:
1. A progressive and efficient
Student Council with a planned
program to make a greater Uni
versity of Nebraska.
2. Advocation of a more satis
factory system of booking, a
definite policy in regard to au
thorization of vouchers, and
closer supervision of student or
ganization funds. We advocate
the enactment of certain legisla
tion to supervise the expendi
tures of student organizations in
the interest of integrity and
economy.
3. Secure an appropriate turn
from the state legislature for a
new library and other necessary
facilities to house classes now
being held in University and
Nebraska halls, both of which
have been condemned by inspec
tors as unfit for occupancy.
4. Inclusion In the building
program of university funds to
erect and maintain a men's
dormitory comparable to Carrie
Belle Raymond and Julia Love
halls.
5. Make a sincere effort to
keep affiliated groups in the po
sition that they should hold on
the campus, including both soro
rities and fraternities, by unit
ing in solid vote behind the Pro
gressive front.
6. The appointment of a men's
point board that will continue
to administer the activity pro
gram according to all of its in
tents and purposes.
7. To continue the work begun
by the Progressive party on the
intercampus bus line project.
Not only on its above platform
does the Progressive party base
its appeal for student support in
tomorrow's election, but also on
ita past record, unparalleled in
that it has been the fulfillment
of every campaign promise it has
made in past years.

Barb-Liberal
1. For the promotion of preafer
student interest in the affairs of
the University of Nebraska; to
break down the barriers that have
existed between affiliated and un-
anniated students; and to initiate
the smooth functioning of student
governing bodies in co-operation
with the administration, this new
ana greater coalition has been
formed.
2. The Barb-Liberal party sup
ports action to make the Student
Health service a more effertiv
agency. Specifically we propose
a ,nore extensive service on the ag
campus. The one hour service
S to 9 a. m.- is insufficient for
1,000 students. Full time duty on
the city campus would greatly aid
the present situation. A unifnrm
medical fee for all students Is im
perative-there should be no dis
crimination. 3. We favor the strengthening
of the Interfraternity Council to
properly represent the affiliated
student of the University of Ne
braska, to function with the ad
ministration and to promote the
welfare of all students.
4. We encourage the Student
Union board to extend Union ac
tivities, especially to the ag cam
pus. 5. We favor the extension of
co-operative housing for those men
who cannot be accommodated in
organized houses. Because of the
deplorable lack of good housing
conditions for these men we urge
that this plan be furthered.
6. The Barb-Liberal parly urges
legislation by the state to avail the
students of a new and adequate li
brary. Aci'.ve student interest has
brought tfcia about on other cam
puses and we promise similar ac
tivity. 7. We urge greater publicity for
all campus elections, to be carried
out by the Student Council, which
will include notices on all bulletin
boards, and more Daily Nebraskan
space.
8. The Barb-Liberal group rec
ommends and promise! to support
the movement for a Central Book
ing Agency for orchestras at ma
jor campus parties. We favor
equal administration and student
