ternity organization ia ald to be
well oiled, and in perfect condition
to run over the Panhellenics. The
monopolization that fraternity men
have held in all elective offices In
tbe past Is threatened.
The 1929 spring election nirk
the entry into the race for orfie
of two reputed leaders of the barb
movement on the campus. Alan U.
Williams and Ruth Hatfield. Both
have been prominent workers in
the perfection of a strong noo fta
ternity group, particularly this
year. Williams is said 10 wif;ld the
'iron hand' In the barb bloc. Here
tofore he has culded the destinies
of the non-fraternlty group from be
hind the scenes, ay casting nis nai
into the ring this spring he has as
sumed the joint role of managrr-
politician.
On the other hand fraternitlfs
and sororities have not shown as
much interest in the election as
might be expected, aside from tin'
groups Involved in the actual elec
tion of officers.

not members of sororities, and
some 55 percent of the men in the
school are Barbs. Despite this fact
the Panhellenics are depending up
on their ability to appeal to tho
Greek letter men and women and
get them out en masse for tbe elec
tion today, hoping that the Non
Fraternity members are resigned to
their electionless fate, and that
they cannot be drawn to the polls
by Williams' oratory.
Student Council, anticipating an
exciting time at the polls today,
haa called attention to former elec
tion rules, especially that of prohib
iting electioneering within the poll
ing building. The Student Council,
and that body's faculty adviser will
supervise the voting.
Fight Ha History.
According to an Item in Sunday's
issue of Tbe Dally Nebraskan, a
Non-Fraternity movement was
started some twenty-five year ago
for the purpose of electing Barbs to
various positions on the campus.
Consternation was created in the
ranks of the Yellow Jacket faction
In the fall election of this year
when Alan Williams filed names of
Yellow Jackets for certain offices.
His attempt to split the faction's
vote failed, but since that time the
Non-Fraternity organization ha
gained in size.
