STATEMENTS OF
Blue Shirts Give Platform;
Yellow Jackets Explain
Barb Coalition.
HOLD ELECTION TUESDAY
Student Activities Tax and
Coliseum Decorations Are
Blue Shirt Points.
Pre-election statements were is
sued by both student political fac
tions Saturday. While the bluer
shirts presented a formal platform
of points which they favor and
pledge themselves to work for thru
the influence of their candidates,
if elected, the yellow jackets-barb
coalition issued merely an informal
declaration explaining the coalition
of the two heretofore separate
factions.
The blueshirt platform follows:
Recognizing the need for con
structive work in student poli
tics as well as in other fields of
extra-curricular endeavor if ac
tivities are to be rehabilitated,
the Blueshirt faction declares it
self for the following planks in
its platform for the year:
1. Active and continual work
looking toward adoption of a
blanket student activities tax.
2. Attempts to secure drapes
of a permanent nature for the
coliseum to make the building
suitable for use for all campus
social events, that the proceeds
of the junior-senior prom, of
which the junior class president
will have charge, be devoted to
this purpose.
3. Support of the proposal
that the swimming pool be made
available to swimmers of both
sexes at the same time.
The Yellowjacket-Barb state
ment:" -
It is only fair, under our ex
isting principles of democracy
that all students, regardless of
fraternal affiliations, be repre
sented in all forms of student ac
tivity. Prompted by this motive,
the Yellowjacket faction has
sought and completed a coali
tion with the Barbs of this cam
pus. We feel that any separate
organization that the Barbs
might perfect would net them
nothing, and that without join
ing forces with one of the fac
tions, they would remain un
represented as they have been in
the past.
We are not presenting a mean
ingless formal platform, feeling
that the issues are not of enough
merit. We appeal to the student
body for support on the strength
of our past accomplishments.
The Yellowjacket-Barb coalition
candidates are Vernon Filley, Ag
college barb for president of the
junior class, and Arthur Pinker
ton, Yellowjacket, for president of
the senior class. Blueshirt candi
dates are Carlyla Sorenson for
junior president and Glen LeDioyt
for senior president.
With the withdrawal of Jane
Youngson, only three candidates
are striving for the post of hon
orary colonel. They are Helen
Baldwin, Jane Axtell, and Grace
Nicklas. The identity of the win
ning candidate will not be made
known until the night of the mili
tary ball.

five.
The committee in charge of the

FARM GIRL'S PLACE
IS NOT IN BARNYARD
State Fair Secretary in
Favor Ban on Lasses
Showing Stock.
Eetause he thinks the farm
girl's place is in the home, not the
barnyard, and because 4-H club
work is designed to train noys ana
girls for their life occupation. Sec
retary George Jackson of the state
fair board Thursday evening dis
cussed with county fair managers
ot seven northwestern Nebraska
counties means for discouraging
girls from showing livestock at
county and state fairs.
"The girls aren't going to be in
tne hog raising or stock breeding
business, said Secretary Jackson
"There are plenty of activities in
which the 4-H club girls can en
gage which will help prepare them
for their life work. There are many
sewing, home making and other
such clubs in which they can take
part." .. ... ......
The Idea of girls donning over
alls and herding around a hog
with a litter of pigs or a calf is
distasteful to Mr. Jackson, he ad
mitted. This doesn't help much to
develop "the refined element in
women folks" in his belief.
Most of the county fair man
agers with whom Mr. Jackson dis
cussed the problem were in agre
ment with him that 4-H club girls
should not be permitted to show
livestock at fairs. Some of them,
however," favored opposition to the
practice thru propaganda rather
than by barring them outright. Mr.
Jackson will take the matter up
with the 3tate fair board.

title of a program to be broadcast
thru the facilities of the NBC

o'clock, in an effort to present the
issues of the presidential campaign

equal length of time. President
Hoover, in introduction, will ex
press his approval of the program.
Asks Student Consideration.
The National Advisory council
on Radio Education, which is spon
soring the program has suggested
a serious consideration of the pro
gram by students of universities
all over the country. In the letter
announcing tne program, sent io
Chancellor Burnett by President
Walter Dill Scott, of Northwestern
university, it is suggested that the
hour following the program be de
voted to an analysis of the pro
gram as presented, either in small
discussion groups of students, al
umni, and faculty members, or by
an able speaker selected from al
umni, faculty, or local statesmen,
over a local broadcasting station.
In conformity with the sugges
tion. Pi f-igma Alpha, honorary
political . jcience fraternity, will
hold a discussion session following
the program, which will be lis
tened to at the home of Prof. J. P.
Senning, head of the political sci
ence department. This is the first
meeting of the oiganization this
year.
The Daily Nebrafkan early next
week, will publish a prepared
analysis of the two political pro
grams as outlined by some mem
ber of the political science depart
ment. The radio program Mon
day evening will be used as a basis
for this analysis.

Score Shortly After
First Quarter.
BIG FACTOK IN GAME
Min-
With a stiff wind helping along
their kicks and passes, the Husk
crs made good use of this advant
age by scoring midway in the first
quarter. Sauer, punting from his
20-yard line set the ball down on
the Minnesota 5-yard line for a
seventy-five yard effort. The
Gophers punted in return to their
own 37-yard stripe. On the first
play. Mathis swept left end for
fifteen yards. Penalties set Ne
braska back fifteen yards, but
Sauer made it up with a long
pass to Bernie Masterson who was
downed in his tracks on the Min
nesota 5-yard line.
Three line bucks put the Scarlet
exactly where they started, and
then Sauer heaved a desperate
pass to Masterson in the end zone
for a touchdown. The wind, which
was playing tricks all afternoon
betrayed Nebraska on the try for
point, Masterson's kick being car
ried away from the uprights.
Manders Goes Over.
Minnesota won the game in the
second period, finally succeeding
in going across on a third march
down the field. Aided by the
wind that assisted Nebraska in the
initial quarter, Coach Bierman's
team proceeded to work the
Huskers into a hole. Lund passed
to Robinson who carried the .ball -to
the 15-yard fine, then turned to
toss the pigskin laterally to Man
ders who raced over the goal line
for the score. Manders caught the
ball on the first bounce, the
Scarlet eleven claiming that there
fore the ball was dead, but the of
ficials ruled otherwise. Manders
then registered the try for point,
bringing defeat to Nebraska on the
kick.
The second half was a toss up,
neither team being able to make
consistent headway. In the closing
minutes of the tilt, Minnesota be
