Management plans for the proposed university book store exchange have been tentatively completed and arc now ready for submittnnee to the univer sity board of regents, according to members of the committee in charge. Finishing touches were added to the plans at a committee meeting hnday afternoon. New suggestions offered at the meeting were considered by the committee and those accepted were added to the plans already formu lated. As the plan now stands it fncludes the accepted suggestions and the best fcatui-es of the vari ous plans now used at other uni versities, Don Shurtleff, committee member, stated. Elimination of the most objec tionable feature of the arrange ment, disposal of out-of-date texts, is being worked out by Lorraine Hitchcock who has been corre sponding with rational book ex changes in an effort to set up a university exchange. Additional signers on the book store petitions were asked by the book store committee and all who have not as yet signed are urged by Virginia Selleck, committee chair man, to do so as soon as possible. The petitions that have been circu lated the past week are now being called in and counted. Other committee members who made reports at the meeting were Irving Hill, Irwin Ryan, Bonnie Spanggard and Dick Fischer. NOW COMPLETED FACTIONS PRESENT PLATFORMS Green Topa Platform We, the members of the Green Toga Party, realizing that the time is at hand when we may ex hibit our willingness to strive for the ultimate goal of better student government on the campus of the V. of N. and finding that never be fore as now has there been such need for men with the desire and ability to conscientiously serve our fellow students, ask the support of the student body to put men in of fice who are pledged to waste no time in the carrying out of the dictates of the campus. It is our feeling that the calling to mind of the achievements of the present Student Council will better serve to aid the voter in making his de cision than the making of idle and futile promises as has been the practice of the Progressive party in the past. First: The present Student Council has had fewer meetings and accomplished less than any Student Council in the past five years. Second: The demands of the students for the elevation of the standards of All University Par ties by means of removing the ar bitrary low maximum orchestra rate set by the Faculty Committee have met with scant attention cf the present Student Council. Third: Although the campus signified its desire for a perma nent Senior Class Organization in the election of the present Senior Class President, the present Stu dent Council refused to adhere to the resolution of the Senior Class Committee that permanent duties be placed on the Senior Class That while the Student Council is supposed theoretically to serve the entire campus as a non partisan student governing body, nevertheless it has served as the vehicle for the most vicious, the sharpest and disgusting par tisan politics displayed by any non partisan body of men in recent years. In accordance with our policy of faithful observance of election pledges as evidenced bv the efforts of the present Senior Class Presi dent to organize the class in com pliance with the mandate of the campus delivered at the last fall election we pleCr-e ourselves to cortinued adherence to the ex pressed wishes of the campus and further go on record as desiring to: L Definitely organize the upper classes of the university by setting (Continued on Page 2.) C.KLEN TOCAS ON SLATE office of the dean of student af fairs Saturday, several candidates being removed because of delin quencies. Because of this, four posts will be uncontested mala representative from teachers col lege, woman from bizad college, and representatives from dental and pharmacy colleges. Only onj filing was received for the law college representative on the Student Council, since both factions nominated Frank Landis. Landis is a member of two organ ized houses which are members of different political parties. Women candidates greatly ex ceeded men in number, due io the ruling against sororities entering political alliances, causing a large number of independent candidates to file. Largest number of filings were for senior women at large, six candidates contesting the two vacancies. For the one ag college position, five women registered their names. Representation of factions w a a quite well balanced, a checkup of the filings revealed. Fifteen can didates disclose their affiliation as Progressive, while thirteen are members of the Green Toga fac tion. The number would have been the same, except for the disquali fication of two Green Toga candi dates due to eligibility rules. Four male candidates filed on the Independent ticket, totaling above the free lancers for several years. Twenty-seven women, all on independent slates, are running for office. Two new seats arc open in the Council this year. A ruling was passed last year to cieat posts for junior women at large, replacing the fine aits college candidacies, since that college was assimilated by the college of arts and sciences. With the eight holdover members recently elected, the size of the Council has been materially in creased over the original body. According to eligibility rulings, all Council candidates are required to have a 75 average and no stand ing delinquencies. Previous delin quencies will not affect their eligi bility, however, if they aie re registered for the course. Voting will be held in the Tem ple theater building and Ag hall from 9 to 5 o'clock Tuesday. Progressive. Platform The Progressive party of the campus, wishing to comply in every sense to its slogan of "Pi og ress Not Politics" submits the following brief and concise plat form for the consideration and ap proval of the student body. We have no wish to sling mud at our opponents, nor to attempt to de ceive the student body by using high sounding words and phrases and by entenng upon lengthy ti rades which have no meaning. The Progressive party points proudly to its record, a record which we believe has brought to the campus the most helpful and significant action of any student governing group in the school's history. L'r.egotistically but with justifiable pleasure, the Progres sive party points to the following concrete, specific and indubitably valuable accomplishments of stu dent officers elected under its ban ner. 1. Entirely on its own initiative, and against overwhelming odds, the Progressive student council has advanced the cause of Nebraska's most crying reed, a student union building, to the point where every indication points to securing the federal loan for this building with in the present year. The Progres sive party pledges itself to con tinuc the good work thus far per formed. 2. Involving countless hours of detailed work and investigation thru mar.v channels, the Progres sive student council has formulat ed a plan to establish for Nebraska students a university owned, non profit used book exchange. The proposal will be laid before the Board of Regents this spring, and it is our belief that every student will recognize the merits of the project. There can be no aouor. that the welfare of the entire stu dent body will be enhanced by this move, and the Progressive party feels it has acted to eliminate an unfair burden to which the stu dents hava been subjected. 3.
