"i -1 pus rol (Ed. Note: This chronological history of campus politics was unearthed from the files of The Daily Nebraskan. The article in tends no disrespect against either Greek or Independent, but only strives to present the political highlights of past years. It is the first of two installments.) By Jerry Bailey Rambling down through the years of University history, sink ing to a whisper while the na tion was at war and rising to a roar in times of peace, has come the noise of campus politics. University politics have for a long time been carried on in smoke-filled rooms, discussed over coffee mugs and beer glasses, and paraded openly at the time of spring and fall elec tions. Throughout the decades of University history, certain stock characters have appeared in all political contests. Influence? They include a militant faculty, ever ready to bristle at the men tion of "influence," ever ready to hand a pair of crutches to the current barb organization; they include a few would-be politicians who never "affiliated," and for ever after try to "get out the in dependent vote"; and we must not forget to mention that most stable and time-honored Greek mutual-benefit and protective or ganizations, "the faction." The faction has two aims in life as expressed by a statement from the "University party," "to fairly distribute positions and honors among the various Greek houses, and secondly to keep in dependents out of power." 'Oklahoma' to Make Return Visit for Two Performances Tickets are available now for the popular Rodgers and Ham merstein musical, "Oklahoma," which will be presented in Lin coln Monday and Tuesday even ings, Jan. 8 and 9. The show, returning for its second engagement in Lincoln, will be given on the stage of the Stuart theater at 8:20 p.m., both evenings. Playgoers who failed to see the show when it was presented in Lincoln two years ago and those who wish to see it again may purchase tickets in the lob by box-office of the Stuart thea ter any day between 11 a.m., and 5 p.m. The Theater guild, producers of the famous play, claim the cast of 67 to be presented here is "one of the finest of the many combinations of talent which have appeared in the big hit." It is the guild's famous "natural" company, the organization which holds the record for musicals in Chicago 855 performances and which comes directly from its sixth visit to Kansas City and after its third visit to Omaha. Baritone's Role Ridge Bond, a young native Oklahoma baritone ,will sing the role of "Curly" the penniless cowboy who woos and wins "Laurey", a farm-girl heiress. Bond is a veteran in the role, having sung it three full seasons a total of more than 1000 times. "Laurey" will be played by Pa tricia Northrop, a Hollywood blonde soprano who has been singing the role for over a year. Mary Mario will be the sym pathetic guardian of the heroine and Jacqueline Daniels will play the leading feminine comedy role, that of the frail and fickle wgal who cain't say no'." The male comedy role, that of the wily and "wolfish" Per sian peddler, will be sung by Jerry Mann. Villain in Cast Miss Daniels' fiance will be played by Victor Griffin and the neurotic farmhand villain by Henry Clarke. Others in the cast include: Dave Mallen as the shot-gun totin rural judge, Owen Martin as the federal marshal and Pa tricia Johnson as "Giggling Ger tie," the storekeeper's daughter. Heading the corps de ballet will be Claire Pasch and Roy Milton in the romantic leads. The 18-piece orchestra will be conducted by Peter Laurini.

Iae meeting at iviccoi Methods used by the faction to reach those ends have fre quently been deplored, and prob ably always will be. Apprrent to any observer is the fact that there will always be a faction. By the same token, there always will be frustrated politicians building a barb organization for purposes other than participation in intramurals and social events. Barb Golden Age Golden age for barb organiza tions was in the Twenties and Thirties, at which time party pol itics on campus were flourish ing. In 1926 the Barb Inter-club Council was formed, along with the political Barb Union. Barbs were severely embar rassed in 1932, during Prohibi tion days, when police raided a Barb dance being held at the Coliseum and found the Barb's big wheel passing out alcoholic beverages in an anteroom. Stand ing in line for the "verboten" nectar were sundry young ladies and two faculty members, pres ent at the dance in the capacity of chaperones. By the time of elections in 1936, Barb string-pulling had pretty generally flopped on ac count of general indifference on the part of the average independ ent students. After coming out a poor third in the election, the Barb Union announced that it was going to devote itself to sponsoring dances. Meanwhile, two Greek parties known as the Liberals and the Progressives were battling it out for campus positions. 'Neat' Elections In the 1939 elections the Lib erals were fighting to stay in the PATRICIA NORTHROP A soprano, Miss Northrop sings one of the leading roles in the Theatre Guild's musical, "Oklahoma," which is playing Jan. 8 and 9 at the Stuart theater. She sings the role of "Laurey," the farm girl heiress who loves and weds a penni less cowboy. Plants Flourish Botany Greenhouse Plants in the new bontany greenhouse are "flourishing." Now in full swing operation, the greenhouse contains many new developments. It replaces the old campus greenhouse and also has new facilities. William H. H. "Tippy" Dye, new head basketball coach at the University of Washington, holds a special place in Ohio State hearts. From the fall of 1935 on through the spring of 1938, Dye won three letters in each of three sports: Football, basketball and baseball. .m., 1 P m.

Events came to a boil when the three parties started a house-to-house cam paign along .Fraternity row one November evening. The Barbs were discreet and went home early. That left the field clear for the Liberal-Progressives bat tle. Reported The Daily Nebras kan later, "One student was re ported injured last night as rot ten eggs, rocks and garbage flew . . . although police were on hand to quell any disturbance, action was taking place on so many fronts at once that it was im possible to control." The Phi Psi and Phi Delt houses were attacked. A Phi Delt was knocked down and then thrown into a concrete bird bath. He received spine and skull injuries. An aroused public and administration demanded that measures be taken. Office Division The Student Council met and passed resolutions, dropped them, nnrl then anoointed a commit tee. Meanwhile, the Liberals and Progressives were dividing class offices between them. With a last burst of activity in 1940, the Barb Union defeated the Progressive office-holders in an linspt. A surnrisine number of Ag men assembled to cast the deciding .votes. In 1941 the Barb Council and Barb Union quietly folded. A reorganized Barb Party attempted to reform the Student Council later in the year. The Greeks closed ranks, formed the Union Party, and snowed the Barbs under. Down the Drain Observers later looked back on the closing days of the Thirties and mourned the passing of the old BMOC's. Those were the days which saw Progressive leaders flush hundreds of Liberal bal lots down the Union toilets. Pro gressive sympathizers punched Liberal ID cards twice during the fall elections. When the Liberals tried to vote in the spring, they were told that they had voted before the polls even opened. A standing ioke in those days was the sight of party candidates, go ing over committee nsis uiey were going to appoint even be fore elections wcre held. College's Blaze Recalls NU Fire The fire at York college de stroyed the main administration building and disrupted school sessions recalls to many "old timers" the fire in the Univer sity's Mechanics Arts building many years ago. The fire broke out on a wintry day. Occupants of the building, were evacuated by firemen via ladder. Since it was. the time when the old historic iron fence still enclosed "the old campus," the building contained a library of priceless books. University students pitched in, forming a chain line between the ladder-staircase which connects the building with Nebraska hall on the east. Their "bucket bri gade" moved al! the books and records from the building and de posited them in safety. A great deal of the building was damaged, mostly from water and from smoke. Records and files, especially took a beating though no one was injured. The incident is vividly re membered by Miss Maude Mel ick, secretary to Dean Green who was working with the Uni versity at the time. Some parts of the building were charred excessively, though the outside structure remained standing. The building was 60on repaired.

There are plaids and plain. Or perhaps a warm pair of gloves a gay headscarf? A wide assortment is available. No, it's not a bargain base ment or even a rummage sale, though chances are it soon may be if nothing is changed. This is an example of the va riety offered by the "lost and found department" of the Ag Union, official one and only de partment of its kind on campus. So if you've lost it, and it's small enough to go through the double doors of the Activities building, you'll probably find it among the loot stored in the checkroom of the Union. Approximately 24 different ar ticles have been assembled in this unique collection. Fountain pens seem to be the most popular "homeless article" through the years. Somewhere in the neighborhood of a dozen ink dispensers ranging from ball points to EveiTharps, grace the ledger at present. Gloves are next on the list. At last report, there were eight pairs on hand, but maybe the prevail ing weather has had some ef fect on that total. There are leather gloves, silk gloves, plain gloves, colored gloves in assorted sizes and sex. From here the list continued with miscellaneous articles. Clasps, sunelasses, lipsticks, muf flers, shoes, a lone sweater, purses (with and without), keys and on into the nicM.

Program Plans Due to the shortness of time forced upon them by vacation, the committee has had little time to arrange the program and, as yet, plans are incomplete.

Miss Meyer expressed hope that students would support the ciance so that similar affairs could be presented in the future. Future plans of the Ag Union dance committee call for a spring Hcssion of weekly dance lessons and a revival of the Wednesday evening hour dance schedule, but with a different twist, Next semester's Wednesday evenings will feature alternating programs of square dances, and group discussions of campus issues. 2 NIGHTS . .

Cheating Caused Suspensions in 1950 With final examinations again coming up, students are remind ed of the fate of seven Univer sity students who were sus pended nearly a year ago for exam cheating. The suspensions resulted from three different incidents: In a mathematics final, one student attempted to substitute for another. Both were suspend ed. Campus police and janitors caught three students who at tempted to get examination ques tions by stealing two sacks of waste paper from the mimeo graphing department in the West Stadium. The trio hoped to find "trial-run" copies of examina tion questions.

Where did Sue get that basket ball ticket I wanted the other day or the second semester class schedule I needed so much. on a moment's notice? Chances are, all these things are carried in a square, round, or oblong object, with or without a handle of some sort, which the coeds generally call a "purse' or "bag" and there are usually as many types and colors of purses as there are coeds. Shoulder Bag Popular For instance, the shoulder bag is a favorite type of "equipment posed to be rather flimsy mater pouch" this season and is stead-' ial, has proved to have better ilg gaining more popularity..

A small most any type of material or shoulder bag is never seen for the bags are fairly large. How ever, they do vary in largeness and in shape, from very large, round bags to medium-large square ones. Small "Corday" bags are still well in style. The trade name "Corday" not only apolies to the company which makes the bags, but also to the material used in making the bag. The material consists of heavy cords tacked to gether in various designs. The bags are popularly carried in a variety of colors and shapes, and the coeds report they'll keep their shape through rain, dust, or even heavy snow storms. Army Surplus The small, square, tan leather purses you've seen so much this year are called "cartridge bags' or "bullet cases." These bags were part of the Army surplus left over from World war II, and now can be bought at almost any army surplus store. Many females decided that these so-called bul let cases had just enough room for their checkbook, billfold and comb. Some of them have even scrawled their favorite fraternity letters on the outside. Corduroy bags seem to be an i up-an-coming fashion in campus circles. Those bags are usually small and very compact, Many of them have specific pockets for a compact, lipstick, comb and sometimes a tiny perfume ato mizer. The bags are lined in rayon silk of the same shade as j the corduroy outside, and come in both dark shades and light pastels. Suede bags are seen often with matching suede shoes. These bags are small for campus wear but arc seen in larger sizes for dress, Swede batfs come in a variety of colors, styles and arc becoming with woolen, corduroys, tweeds, garbadines, and especially with those good-looking suede Jackets v,o many college gals are wear ing.

Helped Another Next, after completing his own examination, the student worked the exam of a fellow student who feared failure and needed the credit for application to the college of Medicine. The suspension decisions were given out by Dean of Student Affairs T J. Thompson. Stu dents suspended have the oppor tunity to appeal decisions to the Faculty Senate committee on stu dent conduct. A number of cheating cases have been reported to Thomp son's office since the seven were suspended last winter. According to Thompson, how- changed its appearance somewhat in the last few years to become still more a favorite. Inside com pacts and lipsticks have been added, outside coin purses at tached and stamp pockets, pic ture holders, and key chains put on. Besides these added attrac tions, the new pastel colors of the billfolds are sure attraction to the coed's eye. Numerous coeds favor billfolds over purses be cause of their extreme smallness.

Consideration - Due consideration is given students before suspensory ac tion is taken. "If the case is one where it is clear that a student has attempted to deceive, he stands to be suspended," explains Dean Thompson. "If however, the case is not cheating but an accident, differ ent action is taken. Cheating penalties are given out differ ently according to the different circumstances of different in stances," Thompson added. A suspension remains on a student's record until removed either by reconsideration on ap plication of the student, or by order of the appeal committee. May Not Re-enter Suspensions must be removed before a student can re-enter the University. Often, a student with a notation of suspension on his record has a hard time when he wishes to transfer to another university. Prospective employers often check University records before hiring applicants. Two offices were broken into last year during the pre-exam-ination period. In one instance, a transom was forced. In the other, a door was removed from its hinges. In addition, University per sonnel reported theft of exam ination materials taken while employees were out of the room.
