THREE FACTIONS LISTED Hereafter Voters Will Get Choice of Officially Recognized Party. BY POUTICUS The Fellman plan the first ref erendum of any consequence to be determined by University of Ne braska students at the polls Is now an established fact on this rampus. Beginning: with the next elections, In the middle of May, when the Student council members for next year are to be selected, the proposal will take effect. The essence of the plan is to rive representation in the Student council or all three factions, wbloti were simultaneously given official sanction to exist at this election. Each group is to have as many council members in proportion to its voting strength at the polls, 125 votes being the minimum. One of the largest majorities ever to be recorded in the history of university elections, the results being 1,360 to 295, the victory for the plan did not come as a sur prise to most Nebraska stuiients. Prior to the election much senti ment was aroused among the undergraduates and from all ap pearances the opinions were favor able toward the plan. David Fellman, graduate stu dent in political science and mem ber of this year s Student council was the sponsor of the amend mcnt. He began working on it early last fall but prolonged the council's discussion on it so that the amendment could be made into perfect form and thereby (satisfy all parties concerned. When the faculty committee on student organizations passed on the bill, however, special provision was made for the faculty to re scind its action should the plan fail to do what it sets out to do give representation to the minority Greek faction and to the barbs. It is supposed that the plan will be given at least a years trial. Temple Is Scene of Many a Man's Downfall as He Yields to Sweet Voice of Some Vole-Getting Coed BY ROBERT BERNSTEINE. Tlu' Temple, Tuesday, was the scene .f all llip puliiicul gamboling mid inter-faction aspiration of a university election. Attractive women were stationed about the Temple, and up proaclieil eneh student passerby, with the beguiling proposi tion, "Jlavo jem voted!" Yet the activity concerning the ... . . . . i with what a ciecuon was mi connneu entirely to the neighborhood of the Temple. Throughout Tuesday afternoon, bright colored automobiles were driven to tho curb at the Temple, and young men escorted young ladies from the automobiles to the voting booth, telling them at the same time just whom to vote for. The Yellow Jackets rallied and serenaded on Monday night, in an attempt to strengthen the num bers of their voting force. The Blue Shirts lunched at the Zcta Beta Tau nouse Tuesday noon, at the zenith of election day. and not far removed rrom the midst of the melee at the Temple. Early Rising Politicians. Voters were In greatest force during the morning hours, and in some quarters It was even ob served that a dearth of Interest was shown by many of the most powcnul groups. Nevertheless, a lively excitement prevailed at the Temple throughout the day. Lead ers f tf the several politlrnl groups were seen about the Temple most of the time during the election, but their blani looks, or perhaps their poker faces, failed to reveal nxlety they faced the results. Although the campus main tained its normal appearance and classes proceeded with the usual number of sleepy eyed juniors and gaping frosh. not to neglect the sophomores attacked by spring fever, there had been considerable agitation leading up to the election. It's a Game! A keen observer at the election headquarters might have observed that many a student was well in formed beforehand as to whom he would vote for. For example, whether the box after the first or the second name would be the proper location for the X. In many cases mis situation so far pre vailed that the student was un aware as to whom he voted for. but merely that his X occupied a certain position. However the election proceeded with most of the regularity of a cumax 10 a university campaign ai wnicn me pontics of an Ameri can congress are adapted to use in college circles and usually end 10 ine satistacuon or either one party or another the inevitable finish to any election.

The ivy day orator, Russell Mattson. and tbe Junior president, ftobert Kelly, were the places obtained by the blue thirts. majority fraternity party. Tbe most surprising feature of the whole election was the success of the yellowjackets, who have been behind in all ballotlngs for the past several years. Because their slate was incomplete, tbe barbs did not expect to gain any headway at this time, so there was no surprise there. That all is not well in tbe blue shirt camp, following its taste of defeat, partially at least, is evi denced by the following statement made by Stanley Day, president of the faction, after tbe results had been made known: Is Disappointed. "I cannot say that I am dissatis fied with. the results but I am cer tainly disappointed. I believe with a little more co-operation shown by all members of the faction we could have swept the election as we have done before." Carl Hahn, president of the yel lowjackets, says he is satisfied with the outcome, "It's Just aa much as we could expect," he de clares, "and I am thankful for the fine support given the candidates by our faction members."

"A Girl Reserve secretary must be a resource in herself she should sense the real values of life, not merely those superficial ones," declared Violet Olsen, Girl Reserve secretary, in her talk at Vespers Tuesday evening. The meeting was led by Dorothy Thurlow. "Many Girl Reserve secretaries become successful in bigger things. The age limit should be between twenty-one and thirty-five years; however, it is not a matter of years, but of experience, attitude, and understanding. Salaries range from $1,000 to $3,800 which depends on the community the sec retary is working in. "Some are forced to begin at a lower price because tbe standards of the community are lower. She should have a course in commercial or fine arts, or applied design and she must know the modern educa tional viewpoint to succeessfully handle her position. Experience in church work or such organizations as campfires and girl scouts is a valuable aid. "The viewpoint of the secretary should be of value to the girls she is helping, but she must also com mand their respect. The purpose of the secretary does not lie in try ing to make her girls so individual as not to fit in the social order, but rather to develop their awareness," the speaker concluded. "Most of us see only the obvious. We should see past the. actual facts, whether they be gross or subtle, to attain the real values of life."
