I'MCE 5 CENTS. ran ip SKAN ARGUMENT BARB VOTE ADDS FUN TO THE FRAY Politicus Dopes Results Of Today's Voting For Council. By Politicu VI. For the first time in years, Ne braska's political parties have found a bone of contention more controversial than whether or not mixed swimming: should be al lowed in the coliseum pool. Added to personal differences, which promise to boost a strong vote, is the Barb question, brought into existence with the organization of an exclusively Greek letter fac tion. Columns of the "Student Pulse," so long neglected by campus poli ticians, have seen frequent use by both parties in the preliminaries. Individual canvassing, recognized as valuable by off-campus poli ticians, has found greater favor this year with student candidates. No wonder Student Council Presi dent Hill predicts a vote that will surpass the 2,100 record. Nominated for History. This year's campaign is slated to go down in campus annals, dis tinctive for the issue over who possesses the divine right to rule. Heading the Greek Council's plat form was the preamble "because of dissatisfaction of previous meth ods of distribution of honors among barb and fraternal groups . . an exclusive fraternal group has founded a party . ." Barbs were quick to interpret this as an attempt to deny them representa tion, which complete success for the Greek Council would have done. What did prompt Greek Council leaders to write this into their party platform? Did they actually believe that barbs, because their voting machinery was not as tangible us in fraternities, de served no share of student govern ing power ? It would be more near ly correct to say that TOr this rea son, they believed the barbs to de serve no share in the "distriDuuor of honors." For Speculators: For those who want to speculate on the general outcome of today's election, Politicus offers a handy chart: Fraternities: Progressives, 15; Greek Council, 13. Represented in filings, Progressives, 13; Greek Council, 10. Sororities: This vote goes to the bigger houses, in the main. Divid ing the houses whose membership is over fifty men, each party has an equal number; the Progressives have a ma jorlty of the rest. Barbs: Pledged to the Progres sive party. Independents: Beta Theta Pi, which has one candidate up, whom they hope to elect on the strength of sorority votes a repetition of last year's accomplishment. On other offices, personalities will probably decide. But no matter who wins and by what margin, observers otherwise disinterested may note with satis faction the greater general inter est of the student body in the elec tion, and the discovery, for the first time in years, of an issue that looks new to newspapermen. It may be the influence of national politics, with the cries of "back to fundamentals." Whatever it is, it serves as an essential object les son for campus politicians who find in the university's plum fights a training ground for future ex ploits.

With registration for the first semester next fall off icially opened yesterday morning, Dr. A. Ft. Congdon, chairman of the assign ment committee, urged today that all students who are planning to enroll again in the agricultural college do so before the closing date of registration on Wednes day, May 13, in order to avoid the the classes which are desired. Students on the downtown cam pus have until noon on Saturday, May 16, to complete their regis tration, according to the announce ment made yesterday by Dr. Congdon. Emphasis was placed on the fact, however, that students may only register during this week without charge, provided they have their adviser's permis sion. Students who do not re register this week will be forced to wait until next September, when they will be charged the usual re-registration fee, unless they receive the written permis sion from the deans of the col leges. "Students who wish a choice of instructors and of class hours must register early or they are apt to be disappointed," Dr. Cong don warned. The usual registration procedure is being followed this semester, with the ruling that students must present their identification cards at the registrar's office for their credit books, before seeing their advisers. After receiving the ap proval of their adviser, students should leave their applications for registration and a statement of their outside activities with the dean of their respective colleges. eis to GIVE JUNIOR, SENIOR RECITALS THIS WEEK Elsie Marie Mansfield and Helen Kunz Present Programs.
