Liberals and Barbs worked successfully together in their new coalition to wrest control of the Student Council and Publications board from the Progressives in yesterday's election. Final vote for new representatives to the Council, showed eight Barb-Liberals, four Progressives, and one Independent victorious, while Richard Harnsberger, Progressive, and John. Stoddard and John Kuppinger, Barb-Liberals, weje elected to Publications board. But as the election returns rolled in revealing a party preference for the Barb-Liberals of 843 to 480 for the Progressives, Brandon Backlund, president of the Progressive faction, staled that the elec tion would be protested. Said Backlund: "In view of evidence brought to light which, shows the election influenced in favor of five of the elected candi dates, the Progressive party will protest to Prof. E. W. Lantz, fao ulty advisor for the Student Council, the results of the election." Letter evidence. The evidence which Backlund allegedly mentioned was letters sent to sorority presidents asking then to vote for Gene Littler, Forrest Behm, Burton Thiel, and Dale Theobald. A provision in the Council constitution states that no literature shall be circulated to campaign for any candidate In an election.

Era broadens opportunities in engineering declares Page A new day of. increased oppor tunities has been opened to the en gineer, John C. Page, commis sioner of the United States bureau of reclamation, told engineering college In yesterday's convocation, saying that it is the new era which emphasizes conservation that broadens the engineering field. Mr. Page, a Nebraska graduate, pointed out that the engineer must be as adept as ever with a slide rule, transit, and blue prints, and have the additional qaulifications of leadership and broad social knowledge to assume a position in conservation work. 'Not a political issue.' Conservation Is not a political issue," said the commissioner, "it draws its supporters from all par- Also for the first time in many years, the representation of men from the arts and science college was split, with Chris Peterson, Progressive, and Burton Thiel, Barb-Liberal, gaining Council posts. Senior-at-large vote Was also split with Bus Knight, Pro gressive, and Forrest Bchm, Barb Liberal, winning. Publications Board positions were reversed from last year, when the Progressives held two votes and the Liberals one. Carl Harnsberger won by two votes over Byron Adams for the sopho more Publications Board post, with the ag college vote swinging the tide. Other publications posts were not closely contested. Student Council representation now stands with hold over mem bers at a ratio of nine Barb-Liberals, seven Progressives, and one independent.

In view of the fact that there arc only a small number of extra copies of the book "available, the staff yesterday urged all students who have not yet paid their final $2.75 installment to do so before Monday, May 20. After that date the Cornhusker office will not be responsible for any copies not completely paid for, because of the heavy demand for extra copies.

In troduction of a comprehensive conservation program at this time means that we have turned our backs upon the practice of exploit ing our natural resources for tem porary and Immediate gain with out regard for the future. It means that we have substituted rather, a policy of husbanding our resources in a manner which will result in their broad and most beneficial use in our . generation, and yet will preserve their use fulness for future generations."
