Fellman Election Proposal Ratified
STUDENTS GIVE
FINAL APPROVA
L
TO
NEw SCHEM
E
Landslide Shown by Check
Of Votes at Election
Of Yesterday.
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.

Group Attends Dinner at
Home of Rev. Fawell
Saturday Night.
The Student Volunteers held an
Indian dinner at the borne of the
Rev. and Mrs. Fawell Saturday
night. Indian customs, food and
clothes carried out the theme of
the dinner. In addition to the reg
ular members of the group sev
eral Indian missionaries and Mr. I.
Jog, a native of India, were pres
ent.
Mr. Jog spoke on "India from
the Standpoint of a Nationalist,"
stressing the fact that there could
be no compromise concerning the
self rule situation. Indians under
the present British rule are not
even allowed to immigrate into
other British possessions. In Mr.
Jog's opinion neither the English
labor party nor Lord Irwin, new
viceroy to India, can do much to
help India toward independence.
Mr. Jog advocated civil disobedi
ence on a noncooperation basis as
the remedy most apt to be success
ful. Indian songs were sung by Paul
Thompson. Miss Jessie ' Bragg
talked on "The Situation in India
Today As a Missionary Sees ii "
The next meeting of the Student
Volunteers is to be Feb. 20 at the
Baptist student house, 1440 Q

BY POLITICUS.
Turning ui - masse to tin poll, the tlliw jackets, mi

more pivsi.lt nt ; nixl Arthur 1'inkciton, froshinan president are
-mc successful yenowjacKfia 10 at
tain campus positions. 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."
Unopposed on the ballot, Geor
gia Wilcox was elected without
any trouble. Miss Wilcox will rep
resent the college of agriculture

parture of tho former council

Secretary's Tasks, Rewards
Are Set Forth by
Vespers Talker.
"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."
