Election March 31
The YM and YWCA-soonsored all-Universitv mock Dri-
mary election will be held Monday, March 31. Results will be
announced Monday night.
Complete results will be announced in The Daily Ne
braskan Tuesday mornine.
Marvin Stromer, co-chairman of the primary with Sylvia
xvi asne, conierrea wiin Clarence s. isecK, iNeorasKa at
torney general, to check on "legal restrictions."
Beck said there is no law prohibiting a mock election
or the publication of results of such an election before the
actual state primary.
Lancaster county's election com- "
missioner, Harold Gillette, said he .
was iiui sure wneiner or not re-,i nnnna I n f rlAW

suits of a mock election could
be published before the polls close
for the real Nebraska primary.
Gillette said, . however, that an
official ruling would have to come
from the attorney general.
The mock election will be con
ducted according to actual elec
tion procedure, according to
Stromer and Miss Krasne. Poll
ing booths will be set up at three
places on campus. Tentative plans
call lor a voting booth at Ag
campus, another at the Union, and
a third at either Ferguson hall
or Temple building.
Campaigning will be encour
aged, the co-chairmen said, but
only according to Nebraska
election laws. One provision,
Mrs. Krasne said, is that no
campaigning may 'take place
Within 100 yards of the polls.
A general meeting with vari
ous campaigning clubs on campus
will be held to bring about "inten
sive publicity and campaigning
lor candidates."
Copies of Nebraska primary
ballots will be used. The Uni
versity, considered as a Nebraska
town in the primary, will re
quire no pre-election registration,
since the population is less than
7,000.
As in the regular election,
absentee ballots must be ap
plied for before the balloting.
Tentative time for application
by absentees has been set for 4
to 6 p.m., Thursday and Fri
day, at the YWCA office at El
len Smith hall.

Provides First,
Second Choice
Campus voters will be affected
by a new Nebraska election law
when they go to the polls for the
YM and YWCA-sponsored mock
primary Monday.
Each voter will not only be
able to express his first choice
for President, but also his sec
ond choice. In previous years,
voters only marked the ballot
beside their first choice.
The change in ballots is a re
sult of a law passed by the state
legislature in 1949. In advocat
ing the bilL Sen. John Mc-
Knight, its introducer, said it
would enable voters to cast their
ballots first for a favorite son
candidate and give their second-
choice votes to a ' man with a
better chance of getting thenom-
in.tion." .
Senator " McKnight contended
that in 1948 Senator Vandenburg
of Michigan, who did no com-pai.-ning,
would ha- e received
many second-choice votes in that
year's Presidential primary.
If there is no second-choice
voting, Senator Mcknight ar
gued, there is no true test of
candidates' strength, other than
than that fcf the favorite son.
Democratic candidates will ap
pear on the ballot as follows:
For President
(First Choice)
Vote for ONE
( ) Estes Kefauver Democrat
( ) Robert S. Kir: Democrat

Bend one-two right!

The counting and stretching can
be heard as the on-looKer enters
the room where members of the
modern dance firoup are practic
ing. Timing must be perfect. Bends
must be even. In other words,
the group is working for perfection.
Why all this trouble?
The reason is simple. Orchesis,
the modern dance group, will pre
sent their 25th spring recital on
March 28 and 29 at Grant Memo
rial gym.
Modern dance can be traced
back as far as the turning of
the century. Isadara Duncan,
Ruth St Denis and Ted Shawn
revolted against the artificiality
of ballet which resulted in the
beginning of modern dance
movements. Ballet at this time
had diminished almost to pure
techniques without any life
meanintr for the art
Marearet H'Doubler of Univer
sity of Wisconsin then studied the
modern dance and the possibilities
nf its use in education. From
then on the dance has progressed
to its present status.
This year's dance recital will be
presented in four major parts
