(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.

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,

each of three sports: Football,

saddle. The Student Council
pleaded loudly for "neat and
clean elections." 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.

Stray Articles
How about a fine woolen scarf
today? 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.
Wedding R'ns:
One feature of the collection
is a man's wedding ring which
has been among the assembled
articles for more than four years.
Must be the sentimental value.

That Fatal Finals Season Back Again!
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.

New Coed Dress Ensembles
Sport Varying Purse Styles
By Ann Gilligan
Where do the coeds carry the
pewder, lipstick, rouge and mas
cara they are able to produce at
any oppoitune moment of the
day to use to good advantage?
Where did Sue get that basket
ball ticket I wanted the other
day or the second semester class

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

other colored coats. 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

student copied laboratory experi
ments which he never did and
turned them in for grading.
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.
Velvet purses are not confined
to dates only they are now part
of campus wearing apparel.
Especially are' they popular with
this years new velvet raincoats.
Velvet, which was formerly sup-
leather on the market. Fussy vel-
vet purses are worn with frilly
cocktail dresses; toilored leathers
and suedes are worn with suits
and afternoon dresses; and gor
geous satins and beaded purses
complete the coed's evening en
semble. Thus you have a review of an
other fashionable part of a coed's
dress ensemble the purse, which
is a definite necessity for the
many cosmetics, tickets, I. D.
cards, and school supplies a col

ever, the number reported mis
fall has been "about average."
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.
