Poll Blsgfl&ses Compilfd by the Fratcm Department. University students are divided on a current campus governmental issue. At least, that is what a Daily Nebraskan poll has shown. Conducted by the feature de partment, the sampling reached 486 students with the questions "Are you in favor of current cam pus. governm3.il?" and "Are you in favor of open political parties?" Of the 486 students polled, 238 were affiliated with some organ ized house, 210 were unaffiliated students, and 38 were unaffiliated stue'ents in the Independent Stu dent Association. Thus, although the ratio of un aflirated over affiliated students was not as greatly as really ex ists, the poll did show a dcfiiite split in the student group as a whole. Forty-one percent of the 488 stu'1Mi1s were found to be in favor of the now-existing campus gov Air ROTC Group Names Officers Walter Palmer was elected as squadron commander of the new ly formed chapter of the Arnold Society, Air ROTC fellowship, at its first meeting last month.

SEVERAL choice remarks were offered by some of the students polled Ore pollee said, "The Rag office is having fun at the ex pense of the Barbs and the Dean." However, many of the comments were of a more worthwhile na ture. A few were as follows: Chuck Peters Sue Bjorklund I, A Charlene Holcomb Winton Buckley Vol. 49 No. 95 f Coed Foolery Predominates in Original Skits and Curtain Acts at Follies Revue A "sneak preview" of the Coed Follies is in order. First on the Follies program to be held Tuesday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m. . the Nebraska theater will be the AO Pi skit, "White Tie and Tails.'" This skit is built around the Cornhusker theme and shows scenes from the Military Ball, the Mortar board ball, etc. Also to be presented is one of those rare creatures, a PBK. The dorm curtain act, "She Taught Him Right," will follow the A O Pi number. Forming the background for the act is the song "Maharaja of Matador." It is the tale of a sheik and his harem who wants to learn how to rhumba. NEXT ON the program is the Kappa Delt skit, "Tour d'Amour." The Kappa Delts present a newly wed couple who visit a travel bu reau to decide where they will go on their honeymoon. The bu reau gives "them a picture of Manhattan, Mexico, Hawaii, Hol land and China. And, of course, "There should be equal repre sentation." "I don't think the council is being run fair. It should be cleaned up." "The present government has existed and will continue to ex ist; and this row will not clean anything up." "The present government is not the fault of the affiliated students but the fault of the unaffiliated who have not tried to exercise any power." THE OTHER poll question, "Are you in favor of open politi cal parties," received more con clusive answers. Sixty percent of the sampled student body were found to be in favor of the ques tion.

"Show Girl," the Kappa skit, is a review of Broadway hits. It features such songs as "Surrey with the Fringe on Top," "I Cain't Say No," "It's Almost Like Be ing in Love" and "Saturday Night in Central Park.' THETA'S "Black Kat Kaba ret" represents a night club floor show with modern dancing, a take-off on the song "Mighty Lak a Rose," a chorus line and the song "One for My Baby." The Tri Delts' curtain act is entitled "Childhood's Joyland." The Tri Delt Raggedy Ann doll wants to find a home, and the other toys entertain her in her search. In the Pi Phi skit, "The Big Smash," a debutante comes to college. As the plot unrolls, the teresting fact stood out. Both af filiated and non-ISA unaffiliated stue'ents were of the same opinion on the question. In both cases, 62 said yes, 29 said no and 9 had no opinion. The ISA members, however, did not share the opinions of the other two groups. The ISA count showed 50 yes, 45 no, and 5 no opinion. SEVERAL comments of polled students are worthy of publica tion. One affiliated student stated, "Poltical parties have been tried before and they didn't work or we would still have them.'' An unaifiliated student com mented, "Open politi 1 parties would mean Greeks against Barbs. It would only make the, GVeeks stronger and force them'' into a st'-nr.pcr fat'n."

THREE TALENT acts will also be presented in the Follies en tertainment schedule. They in clude the Pi Phi trio, a solo by Mary Sue Holland and Lou Her in an imitation of Al Jolson. A style show featuring the TNC finalists will follow the skit. The presentation of the Typical Ne braska Coed will conclude the show. Jan Stratton will act as master of ceremonies.

They may also be obtained at the door the night ; of the show if they are not sold out before then. Bss&e showed a definite lack of realiza tion of what makes up the uni versity student government. This is shown by statements such as: "THE FACULTY can t say we can't have a Student Council. The university is for the students and should be run by the students," or "Is the Student Council that important?" One graduate student, in a dis gruntled mood, poked at the Daily Nebraskan by maintaining "The unaffiliated students cannot get the news the;- want in the Rng!" Other comments were in the following form: "Open political parties would end up with everyone ju: t back ing his own house. That would cause more strife than there is now." "There has to be political par ties. They would lead to keener competition in elections." See POLITICAL POLL, Page 8
