work standards
New paper asks readers
to report on conditions
Enclosed between the sheets of
the Barb, new paper of unaffiated
students, which appears Wednes
day, will be an investigation blank
distributed bv the Student Council,
to determine the truth of rumored
loy working standards.
Ray Murray, chairman of the
committee in charce. remarked.
"We ask that students receiving
tht blanks through the Barb or
from the Union check-stand fill
them out completely and accu
rately. They are to be returned
before Wednesday. November 13.
Cooperation from everyone will be
needed in getting a blank ques
tionnaire in the hands of every
worker in the university, since we
are powerless unless we nave aeri-
nite evidence.
Featured on the pages of the
Barb are pictures of interest to
unaffiliated students of activities

football.

Willkie wins
as Daily ends
By Ralph S. Combs.
The NEBRASKAN straw-vote,
which closed yesterday after three
days of balloting, gave Willkie a
63.7 percent lead over Roosevelt's
36.3 percent The correlation be
tween the straw-vote, which is not
a proportional representation, and
the polls which were taken of a
5 percent sample of the entire uni
versity enrollment, is ' very close.
Each opinion yard-stick serves to
substantiate the other.
Final tabulations of the DAILY
NEBRASKAN poll indicated a
lead of 61.1 percent for Wendell
Willkie over Franklin Roosevelt
with 38.8 percent. In all probabil
ity, these figures will indicate,
within 3 percent, the strength

A
'TriaP coalition ends as
both parties see victory
Progressives reorganize for election;
Students to fill presidents',
other posts Tuesday
With national politics headlining the nation's news, campus poli-
ticians revealed last night a split between the barbs and liberals whose
coalition last spring resulted in a capture for that party of the ma
jority of student council seats. This leaves the relative strength of the
parties In next Tuesday s fall election uncertain. Filings for the posts
to be decided by this election i
must be filed by 4 p. m. Friday
in John K. Selleck's office.
Grant Reed, liberal president
regarding the split, stated that
'the election last spring was an
experiment and a study of the re
sults showed that the support of
the barbs was not sufficient to
warrant the representation they
demand. The liberal party thinks
that the strength of the liberal
and progressive parties is about
equal and that the liberals will
carry the election without the sup
port of the barbs."
News of the split came last
night as Blaine Sloan, barb presi
dent, revealed that it the barb
meeting 96 members had unani
mously disapproved of the union
with the liberals. Sloan stated
that a meeting with liberal offi
cials had preceded the act and it
was agreed that the coalition
should be dissolved. Reason for
the break, said the barb presi
dent was that "under any coali
tion with a fraternity group our
organization is entirely handi
capped as we are not primarily
a political group. About 95 per
cent of our activities are non
political."
Progressives reorganize.
Progressives are preparing for
the election race also, as Chns
Petersen, president, announced
a complete reorganization within
their party. The party is now
built around a group of 14 dele
gates from the 14 houses in the
faction. Organization has been
streamlined with a more concen
trated group to direct the party.
Posts to be filled next Tuesday
include Honorary Colonel, Ne
braska Sweetheart. Prince Kos-
met iunior and senior class presi
dents, Prom committee and the
six most eligible bachelors.
Cirls onlv will vote for Prince
Kosmet and eligible bachelors and
