Michael rules men alone can vote; may nominate
only five candidates for Innocents at polls
By Ralph S. Comb.
The Ivy Day Orator-Innocents election was postponed late laat
night at a special meeting of the Student Council elections commit
tee. The election will be held Thursday, April 18. Postponement was
necessary due to the ineligibility of William Clineberg, liberal candi
date for the office.
Contrary to previous announcements, Lowell Michael, chairman of
the elections commfttee also ruled yesterday afternoon that only men
will be able to vote in this election. The same squabble came up last
year, Advisor Lantz explained when queried over conflicting announce
ments stating that it was decided at that time that since the girls alone

Nebraska agriculturalists to hear well known
economist discuss present livestock situation
Speakers for Feeders' Day which
opens Friday on ag campus will be
Gerald B. Thorne and Paul C.
Smith, both widely known in live
stock circles.
Thorne is particularly well
known to Nebraska farmers. He
was with the original federal farm

went to Wilson and Company in
Chicago. He will address the at
tendants on the topic: "The L.ve

for the May Queen, and Mortar-
boards, it was only natural that
men alone should vote for Inno
cents and the orator.
The original candidates for the
honor were Bryce Smith, Progres
sive; William Clineberg, Liberal;
and Lyle Gill, Barb.
Likewise the previous statement
that votes could be cast for from
five to twenty Innocents candi
dates, was reversed. This was the
ruling for the Mortar boards elec
tion committee members explained
and does not apply in Thursday's
contest. Only five men can be
nominated by each junior and sen
ior man.
KWd calls special meeting.
The committee was called to a
special meeting at 10:15 last night
by Council President Marion Kidd
and John Mason, liberal represent
ative on the elections committee,
to discuss the eligibility of William
Clineberg, liberal candidate for Ivy
Day orator, and also to determine
the possibility of the postponment
of the election.
The controversy arose when
Lowell Michael, chairman of the
elections committee, notified the
Liberal group at 6:50 p. m. that
their candidate was ineligible, and
in view of the fact that ballots had
been sent to press at 5 p. m. with
out Clineberg's name on them, it
would hardly be possible for the
Liberals to put up another candi
date. The only alternative, he ex
plained, was for members of the
election committee to write in the
name of the liberal candidate at
the polls this morning.
Clineberg high in scholarship.
John Mason, liberal representa
tive on the elections committee
when notified that Clineberg, sec

an exception in the case of Cline

faction to put forward an alter
