same old question mark
By Chris Peterson.
After one of the most heated
campaigns in years, students of
the university will go to the polls
today to cast votes for 78 office
seeking candidates representing
three campus factions.
Today's election will definitely
decide the question of factional
supremacy on the campus. Sitting
atop what might be regarded as
the fence of neutrality, the Barb
Union party will watch campus

to usurp university political con
trol from the long "in' Pro
gressives.
The Progressives, who have held
elective "key" positions for three
years hope to shake the Liberals
from their heels and edge out their
fourth straight win. However, the
Liberals, having "drawn blood" in
the last two elections, are confi
dent that they will be able to move
in for the "kill" by polling a 100
percent vote.
Barbs are "dark horse."
Dark horse in the race is the
Barb Union party whose strength
remains unknown. Without a
doubt, the barbs, If properly and
fully organized, would have the
voting power to control every
elective post on the campus. Just
how much organization the party
leaders have been able to establish
during the last year, cannot be
determined. Barb Union leaders
reluctant to discuss their possibill
ties in this election said, "If every
thing goes right, we will not need
to worry about getting our piece
of political pie."

pepmen recited their platforms be
neath the sorority windows.
Completely void of any of the
conflict, which so often accom
panies these annual pre-election
pep sessions, the rallies went off
under police escort. Even a battery
of eggs which flew between the
two factions as they met on the
Gamma Phi Beta lawn could
bring no more than a few weak
and dispirited "Vote Progressive"
and "Vote Liberal" shouts from
instance during the rally.
Rallies dwindle.
Though both major rallies and
the small parade of the barb
unionists started off with a bang,
they were honeycombed by the
early departers, and dwindled to
almost half their original sizes by
the time the factions disbanded.
Filling the auditorium in social
science and Morrill respectively.
the Progressive and Liberal par
ties charged their men with the
spirit of the party, and urged
them to round up sorority girls,
barbs and even members of the
opposing faction to vote for their
list of candidates.
The Liberal party parading up
S street singing the first factional
song to be used in the recent
election day history, met the Pro
gressive group in the street be
fore the Sigma Delta Tau chapter
house. The dance orchestra
mounted on a large red truck try
ing to play the theme songs of
the various sorority houses was
drowned in "Vote Progressive"
yells.
Standing opposite each other,
the Progressives on the lawn and
the Liberals strung out for some
distance up and down 16th street,
the two major parties threaten
ingly faced one another and
showed the most resistance of any
group during the rally.

graduation theme
Friedel states humor
bit to appear Monday
Last issue of the Awgwan, based
on the "wither now" theme, is
sciicdlucd to appear on the stands
next Monday, according to a
statement made yesterday after
noon by Leonard Friedel, business
manager.
Dedicated to the graduates who
will leave university for the last
time this spring, the issue will
contain several stories dealing
with the graduates and their
future prospects.
One of the features of this issue
will be a serious story by George
Frischer concerning the fate of
three men who left college to
gether. Articles on what to do after
leaving college written for the' in
formation of men and women
graduates by Margaret Krause and
Bob Hemphill tell graduates ex
actly what to do according to the
type of person they are.
Gory gore, an attractive cover,
and candid camera shots taken in
