F
TO GATHER VOTES
Politics Climax With Spring
Council, Publication
Board Polling.
With the impending spring elec
tion less than two weeks away,
faction political leaders have be
gun fereting about to find new
schemes for grabbing the student
vote.
Campus politics are climaxed
caili cii b the spring Student
council and Publication board elec
tion, this being the only polling
which carries offices which are
more than mere sinecure positions.
As everyone Knows the class presi
dent elections have degenerated
into a formality, for there is
nothing for a class president to do
except pose for a picture in the
Cornnusker. This s-mesler, how
ever, has seen a slight rebirth in
the presidential situation since two
of the presidents demonstrated
activity by holding special class
meetings "to consider the union
building question. -
More Women Voles.
The spring election wiil undoubt
edly call more woman voters to the
polls than any of the previous of
this years votings since several
women will have to be chosen to
serve on next year'3 student coun
cil. This angle will naturally in
spire Yellow jacket and Blue Shirt
faction leaders to make a special
bid tyr these feminine votes which
will play an important part in the
election s outcome.
Formal date for the election was
set on May 19 by the student coun
cil at its "Wednesday night meet
ing. Undoubtedly both factions will
plan serenades and undoubtedly
they both have some political stunt
up their respective vote seeking
sleeves. Candidates will probably
be selected by the factions some
time during next week and filings
will be due at the student activi
ties office by Friday. May 15.
Barbs To Act.
Altho the Barb faction has
remained dormant during the
entire year as far as organized
polling is concerned it will without
doubt do its share to get some
Student council candidates elected
under the proportional tepiescnta
tion system.
The Blue Shirt faction has had
things entirely its own way this
year, easily sweeping both class
president elections. In accordance
with the law of averages they are
about due for a fall, particularly
in view of the fact that their
activity in the Student union build
ing project was of no avail.

agitation on the military drill issue
since the regents' decision, regard

pose making military science an
elective rather than a compulsory
course. At the same meeting It is
expected that plans for a swim

statement to make:
"Student representatives of

defend military science from the
attacks of the Student council

obvious that such an action as
