PRICE 5 CENTS. 7 TO GOPHERS P SKERS 6 FACTI oris MAKE 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. TO BE HELDWEDNESDAY Third Presentation Features Lester A. Somers in Violin Recital.

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.

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 gan a drive which ended on the (Continued on Page 4.) TWO JOIN GEOGRAPHY STAFF Schlesselman and Earton, Graduate Assistants, New This Year.

On thei return a reunion is held of all previous winners and the results of their discussions taken home by the participants reach every high school in the district, thus stimu lating and encouraging young peo ples' interest in national politics. At this age, she says, their enthu siasm and acceptance of the best principles in government is at the highest point, and the interest in stilled in them now will be lasting.
