BARB CROUP SECRETIVE Alliance Possibilities Seen By Politicians as Day Draws Wear. By POLITICUS. When election day begins to ap pear closer and clcer with the dawning of each new day. rumors become more and more prevalent. That U the case every time an election is held on the University of Nebraska campus. And some times these rumors become more than mere rumors. Richt now whipenngs are k"- hookup between one of the Greek factions with the barbs. This is an old Idea, but it has its significance, as leading politicians will admit. Meetings are being held tonight by the two fraternity factions and something certain on this matter may lie forthcomming after that. The main matter to be taken up. however, will be the drawing up of the slates for class presidencies, preparatory to the election, a work from today. Both parties have held then i nomination caucuses, but the gel togethers tonight will decide the fate of the vote seekers. The Yel low Jackets will assemble at the rtii Kappa Psi house at 10 p. m. while their opponents, the Blue Shirts, have agreed to meet an hour earlier at the Sigma Phi Sigma house. At the latter meeting Art Mit chell will be selected upon to give a report of the findings of his com- mittee. appointed at the last ses- i sion of the Blue Shirts. Mitchell's committee has been endeavoring to map out a definite program to be carried out bu the faction during the drive for votes Working with him have been Bob Kink&td. Marvin Von Seggern and Art Wolf. JuU what the barbs are doing in the preliminary race is not known, but it is probable that or ganization meetings are being held or will be held during this week and that a nonfraternity slate will be made.
