JlJL JCs BARBS POSTPONE COUNCIL ELECTION Marvin, Chairman, Says New Members to Be Named Soon After Spring Vacation When Unaffiliated Students Will Select Eleven for Posts. ACTION NOT RESULT RECENT FACTION PROTEST Conflict With Student Governing Body Balloting Cause Of Decision; No Change Will Be Made in Slate, States Leader of Organization. Election of new members to the Barb council, scheduled for Tuesday, has been indefinitely postponed, according to an announcement made Monday evening by Burton Marvin, chair man of the Barb council. No definite date has been set for the naming of the eleven new members by the unaffiliated student bodv, but the election will be held shortly after the spring vacation period. . The reason advanced for the postponement of the election was that the council wishes to comply with student council limliiliiv regulations, and in that way standardize rules on the" campus and avoid difficulties with the administration. Not Result Protest. "The postponement of the Barb council elections is in no way the result of the Green Toga protest asking that the Barb elections not be held on the same day and at the same place as the student coun cil elections," stated Marvin, em phatically denying the opinion that the Green Toga stand effected his action. "In the first place the Green Togas would nave. a hard time proving that the Barb coun cil election took place in the form of undue lobbying, as they charged. Such a political move evidently has no connection with the Barb coun cil election, but is prompted by ' some other force which can easily Lc understood. Electrons Conflict. "It was revealed to me Monday that last year the Barb council election was held under similar conditions as it would have been Tuesday. Because the same po'ls were used as were utilized by the Student council, and the eligibility rules were different the Student council got in trouble with the university administiation. We wish to have time for investigation of these rules, so that we may co operate with the student council, and place the Barb council in a bet ter light by complying with a standardized set of requirements. There is no particular necessity of rushing blindly into a recurrence of last spring's situation." There is to be no change made in the list of those filing for mem bership in the council. The ballots have already been printed, and it is Marvin's opinion that sufficient opportunity has been given to file. The date for voting will be set at the meeting of the Barb council immediately following spring vaca tion. Eighteen Filed. Eighteen Barb students repre senting the four undergraduate classes and the graduate college filed during the past week for membership in the Barb council. Eleven of them will be named to positions on the council at the postponed election. The total mem bership in the Barb council is eighteen, seven hold-over members having been elected at the council meeting last Wednesday. Two sophomors filed for posts on the body, Bill Newcomer, York, in the College of Business Admin istration: and Lumear Sedlacek, Old, Business Administration, are the applicants. With two sopho more positions to be filled, these two people are assured of member ship unless others are named by virtue of being written in on the ballot. Elect Four Juniors.

Names of the ten members of the Pony Chorus, a group of male cnonnes which is always a feature of Kosmet Klub spring musical comedies, were released yesterday afternoon by Herb Yenne, author and casting director of the show, "The Campus Cop." All ten of the members of the chorus have been holding daily rehearsals under the direction of Ralph "Doc" Ireland for the last three weeks. Ireland ha? directed both the male and pony choruses for Kosmet shows for the last sev eral years. The members of the chorus and their stage names are: Henry Lar son as Mary Marsh, Jack Green as Helen Jones, Dick Decker as Louise Ralph, Glen Mace as Jane Roberts, Dan Easterday as Ann Walton, Bob Pierce as Dotty Allen, Ben Rimmerman as Virginia Howe, James Harris as Ruth Morse, Carl Wiggenhorn as Susan Carlton, and Bill Garlow as Babs Scott. The chorus will present four dances, all conceived by Director Ireland, during the production. The show will be presented for a six day run at the Temple theater from April 23 to 28. Eddie Jung bluth's orchestra will play, and a cast of forty-one is included in the show. GREEN TOGAS ASK STUDENT VOTE FOR BEST CANDIDATES The Green Togas ask merely that each student going to the polls vote for the best candidates. These best candidates will be the men al ready acknowledged as outstand ing activity men, by the campus as a whole. Such men as Kosman, Flans burg, Hossack, Loos, Eddy, Heldt, Pester, Whitaker, and the rest of the Toga's candidates, have en viable records of past campus achievements. These are the men, the best candidates, for whom the Green Togas ask you to vote. The Green Toga, selecting Its candidates upon the already proven abilities of these nominees, and ap pealing to the students not on the basis of a slogan contradictory to the purposes of political organiza tion, but rather with a belief that the student body will cast its vote of approval for the better of the candidates presented, submits the following platform for your ap proval. 1. The adoption of a blanket student activities tax, bringing all' extra-curricular features of thei school to the members of the stu-l dent body, at a great reduction in j cost. , 2. Tne adoption, or the penaing amendment to the constitution of the student council, which will In-, crease the number of experienced: members on that organ of student) government. 3. The advancement of all other! such proposals as may, during the! coming year, be adjudged as to, the benefit of the best interests of the student body, and j 4. Cheaper accomodations for! down-town parties, to be accora-' plished by the use of the coliseum for Joint parties or by lowering of. the rates charged by down-town firms. 5. Nebraska, the best student government in the middlewest. The Green Toga political faction was formed last fall as a direct re sult of the seccession of some nine teen fraternities from the internal ly corrupted political machines of the old BlueshirU and Yellow Jackets. The aims of the organ ization are to sponsor and encour age as far as possible, student par ticipation in those extra-curricular activities sanctioned by the Stu dent council. The member frater nities of the faction are Sigma Chi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Phi Kappa Psi, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Tau Delta, Phi Sigma Kappa, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Zeta Beta Tau, Phi Kappa, Beta Sigma Psi, Delta Sigma Phi, Dfjta (Continued on Page 4.) FACTION CHANGES AS E Green Toga Party Rejoices As Barb Council Race Is Postponed. PROGRESSIVE STOCK UP Possible Write-in Votes Predicted to Overcome Candidates. BY SOLON. With rumors of faction changes on the eve of election making the outcome of the election more than ever a matter of conjecture, stu dents go to the polls today to elect members of the student council, publications board, and the Ivy Day orator. Both sides claim vic tory on the eve of election, pro phesying that students will declare themselves in favor of programs outlined in their respective plat forms. Green Toga members rejoiced as word that Barb council elections, scheduled to take place Tuesday at the same places as the regular elec tion, will be indefinitely postponed. Green Togas had published a pro test against the barb election. Barb leaders deny that any political sig nificance was attached to the fact that both elections were scheduled for the same time and place, and declared that it has been a custom of recent years. Meanwhile Pro gressive stock took an upward turn as the registrar's office ruled their Green Toga opponents in Pharmacy and Dental colleges ineligible, and only Progressive candidates re mained on the ballot. At the same time, a reversal in ruling on the eligibility gave the Progressives a candidate from Law college whose name will appear on the ballot. With no opposition to the Progressive candidate in Teachers college also, the minority faction needs only an even break in the remaining offices to wrest control of the council from the Green Togas. Rumor originating in feminine ranks insists that women candi dates will not be running independ ently as listed on the ballot and fil ings, but that definite lines nave been drawn which extend even into agreements with men's factions.

Stoke, assistant professor of political science, in the Sunday issue of the Lincoln Journal and Star described his vision of the "49th state," perhaps better understood when called the Missouri Valley empire. The idea embodies the creation of a special Missouri valley area for the de velopment of its natural resources. The plan, sponsored in the United States congress by Senator Norris, is comparable to the Ten nessee valley Muscle Shoals devel opment which President Roosevelt asked congress to create a year Features of the Missouri valley development are: To improve the navigability of the Missouri river; to provide for flood control; to provide for reforestation and the use of marginal land; to promote the agricultural and industrial de velopment of the valley area; to provide for the restoration of the water level for irrigation, and for the production of electrical power. Social Engineering. This new notion is called social engineering and is an idea some what new to Americans, Doctor Stoke points out. Justification is found in the fact that, while thj Missouri valley area is still com paratively sparsely populated, in the course of the next fifty or so years there will be a much more dense population, and planning for the future will have its reward. It means foresight on the part of the government, preparing by careful planning one of the na tion's most Important agricultural sections, for the future. Agricul- -twi products irrigation and flood control will all be of major importance in the near future. Development of the river area also means development of electric (Continued on Page 2.)

Prof. Walker indicated ttint often there comes to the surface a feeling that women have been slighted in their aspirations to ward positions on the variojs pub lications, but that the board had adhered to no such policy of dis crimination. "The publications board icgarda itself above politics and purposes to continue to guard the system of appointment from any political in liuence," Walker declared.

I'liUGHESSn b! .'IMV FOR OPEN MINT) IN SPRING ELECTIONS Today marks the second test of the two new campus political fac tions, the Progressives and our op ponents, the Green Togas. We ask, that in the interest of good student government, the voters go to the polls with an open mind, but first of all, that they go to the polls and vote. We have submitted our platform, dealing directly with is sues that have come before the students, and that are bound to appear again before the new coun cil is replaced next year. Our can didates are pledged to support th.se issues to the best of their knowledge and ability. With confidence we submit our candidates and ask that you con sider them carefully. You are en titled to vote that's your voice in the student government. And bear in mind when you vote, that it is progress of the campus, not of po litical bosses and political combina tions that counts. A vote for Pro gressive candidates is a vote for "Progress, not politics!" The Progressive Party submits the following platform to the stu dents of the University: 1. The Progressive party stands for honesty in student government. We feel that unquestionable hon esty is particularly important in the conduct of campus elections. Student government can never function at maximum efficiency nor can it have the support and trust of the student body as long as there is suspicion, distrust or actual malfeasance in the conduct of elections. Regardless of whether or not dishonesty has occurred In the conduct of elections by the ex isting government, we feel that an adequate safeguard must be estab lished to check all suspicion and doubt concerning the conduct of elections. We pledge ourselves to. the erection of a faculty commit tee to actively supervise all stu dent elections whether these elec tions be for the regular political or honorary offices. 2. The Progressive party de mands virility and true represen tation on the part of student offi cers. We promise that any candi date elected under the Progressive banner shall be held strictly ac countable to the party and to his duties. We advocate more potent and stringent methods of recall for' cases of laxity in office; 3. The Progressive party depre cates the incessant political man-1 ieuvering and "wire pulling" prac ticed by the aspirants to the tai lor honorary societies. We pledge ourselves to support all methods of reorganization of student govern ment which will tend to minimize this very cogent vil; 4. The Progressive party depre cates all political combinations (Continued on Tag 4.) IDENTIFICATION CAHDS ucandidates-at-large and Ivy Day oraior. Kauoting for each of the publications board members will be only by members of the class he represents. Vote on Amendment. In addition to voting on the va rious candidates, students will vote on an amendment to the student council constitution increasing the holdover membership of the coun cil from two men and two women to four men and four women. The amendment has already been ap proved and passed by the council. All voters will also have an op portunity to register their political faction preference on a separate ballot. Each faction is entitled to one representative on the student council for each 125 preferential votes polled. Any party failing to elect one candidate for each 123 votes polled will automatically .be entitled to representation id the council by its highest unsuccessful candidate or candidates in propor tion to the total preferential vote the faction receives. Students may vote for any one whose name does not appear on the ballot by writing in their fa vorite's name. Council Controls. The entire election on both cam pi will be under control of the I student council, and counting of votes of both campi will be done by the council under faculty supervision. No soliciting in favor of ony party or any candidate at the polls will be tolerated. The official list of candidates as released Monday reveals several changes in the unofficial report listed in Sunday's Nebraskan. Cor r ine Claflin is a junior woman can didate from Arts and Sciences col lege instead of a senior-at-large candidate as listed Sunday. The correction leaves but two candi dates in the field for the two sen ior women-at-large posts. Ru'e Young Eligible. Reversing its earlier stand on a question of eligibility of a law col lege candidate, the student council eligibility committee ruled Lee Young an eligible candidate from that college and his name will ap pear on the ballot Tuesday. Withdrawal of cne candidate from each of Pharmacy and Dental colleges leaves but one man in the running from each college. Names of Virginia Selleck and Elizabeth Bushee were inadvei tently omitted from the list of fil ings published Sunday. They are candidates for the two junior women-at-large positions and are the only names appearing on the bal lot for that office. The revised list leaves forty three in the field for student coun ( Continued on Page 2.) Rules for Election Voting Rules. 1. Present identification card with receipt number.
