Activity Women Favor
Cleaner Politics; Urge
Abolition of Factions
Activity women propose that
men's organization or the Student
Council take it upon itself to clean
campus politics by abolishing fac
tions, scrupulously guarding ballot
counting, and requiring every stu
dent to have his picture pasted on
his identification card, so that
wholesale collection of cards can
not be mads on election day by
fervent campaigners.
"Why .not junk political parties
entirely?" suggests Alaire Barkcs,
Mortar Board president, and
staunch defender of honest po
litical activity for women. "Merit
and hard work, not affiliation,
either political or social, would
then determine the persons to be
considered for offices. But of
course," continues the activity
woman, "nothing will be done un
til the men themselves feel and
express disgust to the student
council or the Innocents societv.
and demand action. They must
desire and insist on fair play."
"Factions should be eliminated
by the Innocents." declares Vir
ginia Selleck, who has been an
ardent worker in the Mortar
Board clean-up of women's poli
tics. "Why can't men have real
political parties, instead of nar
row frat' factions? If it could
onlv be arranged so that each
frat would not feet that it must
have its 'turn to run student ac
tivities, then the best man might
at least be nominated."
Elizabeth Moomaw is more mod
erate in her suggested changes.
"I don't think that factions should
be dropped. It is a good idea for
men to have parties, and I don't
think that they will ever change.
However, since the student council
has new powers and influence in
campus pol.tics, and is the student
governing body it is up to that
group to attempt to regulate fac
tions." "Politics?" queries Sancha Kil
bourne, student council judiciary
committee chairman. "They will
npver chanre. At least I haven't
noticed much change in political j
campaigning ana electing in mt
last three years. Women's politics
are clean -to a certain extent.
Making elections on the up-
and-up" will help, she believes, lfjguna Anderson, Laiolmc bkans,

Levin Named President
Of Council; Proposed to
Rotate Party Privilege
Opening of Formal Season
May Alternate Among
Three Functions.
Last official act of the retiring
Student council members was a
proposal to rotate the privilege
of opening the formal season
among the three major social
functions of the campus.
Campus tradition of long stand
ing has given the privilege of the
first formal affair of the year to
the military department for its
annual ball. Yesterday at the
council meeting, it was proposed
that the added financial privileges
which the first dance affords, be
rotated each year between the
Military ball, the Mortar Board
party, and the Junior-Senior prom.
Need Faculty Approval.
For the action of the council to
be binding it must be passed by
the faculty senate committee. If
the senate passes the motion, it
will go into effect next fall. A
similar resolution was passed at
the beginning of this school year
and was protested by the military
department on the grounds that
it was too late for them to change
their plans for the ball. The fac
ulty committee upheld their pro
test. Speaking in favor of the mo
tion. Bill Marsh stated that the
first party of the year gives such
a financial advantage that it was
unfair to the other organizations
sponsoring parties.
Set Closed Nights.
In view of the question regard
ing the dates of the major func
tions, no definite nights were
closed on next year's calendars for
them. Friday, Dec. 4, and Friday,
March 5, were closed as the nights
for the opening and the closing
of the formal season. The Mili
tary ball and the Junior-Senior
prom will be held on these dates,
depending upon the action of the
faculty senate committee.
Other closed nights are as fol
lows: Friday, Sept. 25, All Uni
versity church night; Saturday,
Oct. 17, Barb council's Dad's day
party; Saturday, Oct. 31, Inno
cents' Homecoming dance; Friday,
Dec. 11, Mortar Board party, and
Friday, March 26, church night.

Point System Won't Clean
Up Campus Election
Situation.
BY POL1TICUS VII.
What to do about campus poli
tics? Should there be an organ
ized point system, such as preached
in women's politics, a revised two
party plan, or are we going to suf
fer another year of such political
manhandling as has been so evi
dent during the recent student
elections.
Anyone who is familiar with the
methods employed by organized
politicians during the year will
readily concede the assumption
that something should be done,
but as to what it is to be, is quite
another proposition.
The point system, which has
been advocated by certain student
leaders, among them women who
are personally acquainted with the
plan as it has functioned during
the year, has supposedly worked
commendably. Its champions boast
a situation in politics among the
fairer sex that excels the previous
system by far. In fact, these same
champions are not the least re
luctant in advocating a similar
system to be installed for the men
in favor of the present plan.
Has Bad Results.
Yet it is hardly probable that
these advocates truly understand
the situation among fraternity
groups. It seems hardly logical
that any candidate should right
fully be declared ineligible for an

Seven Anthropologists
To Seek Relics of Sioux
Along Niobrara Valley
Nebraska University's seven
man anthropological expedition
will pitch its tents in the valley
of the Niobrata river following
the dismissal of classes in the first
week of June. Under the direc
tion of Dr. Earl H. Bell, assistant
professor in anthropology, the pre
historic relic hunters will be camp
ing on the trail of the Dhegiaha
Sioux Indians.
In an attempt to write a page
into the story of the migrations
of the American Indians from the
south, Mr. Bell and nis digging
proteges plan to convass several
sites on the Niobrara which are
believed to be fertile in remans
of the Dhegiaha tribe. The work
will consist lately in the exami
nation and classifiation of house
types, pottery, and ancient fortifi
cations. According to Professor Bell cer
tain sites to be explored this sum
mer may provide the key to the

discoveries made previously by
Nebraska and other institutions.

Arnold Levin was unanimously
elected president of the Student
Council at the final meeting of the
year held yesterday. Only tho
newly chosen council was eligible
to vote on the organizations offi
cers. To fill the office of vice presi
dent, the group selected Marylu
Petersen. Elinor Clizbe will be the
new secretary, and Bill Marsh, the
treasurer, Jean Walt was chosen
by the council to serve as chair
man of the judiciary committee.
Preceding the election, retiring
council president, Irving Hill,
called upon the committee chair
men to give summary reports of
each committee's work in the wind
ing up of the year's business. Eli
nor Clizbe offered the report of the
committee on organizations, ex
plaining the work done in consid
ering the executive council plan
proposed by the junior and senior
class presidents.
She further described the suc
cess of the committee in collecting
copies of the constitutions of cam
pus organizations in order for
them to receive the formal recog
nition of the council.
Attempt Clean Politics.
The chairman of the judiciary
committee, Sancha Kilbourn, de
scribed the committee's work this
year as being an attempt to clean
up men's politics. As a result of
this work she explained that the
Registrar's office has consented to
lend their cards with pictures of
students attached to the Student
Council to curtail any voting for
other students that may have been
going on.
Arnold Levin was called upon to
speak for the publicity committee
of which he was chairman. He out

Three outstanding male voice
students, Arthur Barneby, Pas

Temple theater.
The three soloists are well known
and take an active part in musical
organizations of the city, as well
as those of the school. At present,
Mr. Barnebey. is singing with the
Mastersingers of KFAB. and St.
Paul choir. Mr. Stone is a member
of Great Cathedral Choir, and
played in the recent Kosmet Klub
show. Mr. Reider traveled four
months this winter with the Uni
versity Light Opera Singers, and
is also a member of St. Paul Choir.
The program is not of the usual
recital nature, but is a concert
which offers selections by the
more modern composers, with a

Niobrara is still new territory Mr.
Bell stated.
Coming into northeastern Ne
braska just before the beginnirg
of recorded time, the Dhegiaha
Sioux, whose previous home had
been in the vicinity of the mouth
of the Ohio river, are believed to
have left the area to be explored
during the summer months, rich
in valuable remains. The work of
the expedition may be complicated
by the discovery of vestiges of
tribes who occupied this region
prior to the advent of the Dhe
giaha. Mr. Bell remarked.
The 1936 venture into the Nio
brara valley will mark the fourth
summer that the University will
finance field work in anthropology
that will be conducted on Ne
braska areas. This work is part
of the regular anthropology cur
ricuplum and is equal to three
credit hours. With the exception
of one student from Missouri, the
men composing the expedition are
from the University.
