Phys od majors
build bridge over
creek near cabin
A sturdy new bridge now spans
Stevens creek which flows past
the WAA cabin east of Lincoln.
Realizing the need for a means
of crossing the creek in order to
use the ground on the other side,
14 phys ed majors built the bridge
finishing it last weekend. They
were directed and helped by Ma
jor Cruse and the military de
partment. Five yards long and made of
yellow pine, the bridge greatly
improves the surroundings and
increases the usefulness of the
cabin. Material was paid for by
the WAA. The present plan is to
build an outdoor fireplace on the
bank of the creek opposite the
cabin.
Rifle tests close
Intramural matches to
choose the best rifle team will
close tomorrow. All members
are urged to have their scores
In by then.
A new score board has been
made which will record the
scores of the expected 12
matches.
By Bill Palmer
The fires of battle burned high in the Student
Council meeting last night as one of the biggest
arguments of the year welled up when progressives
and liberals led by Chris Petersen, progressive floor
leader, charged the barbs with open backing of the
barb candidate for junior class president in the barb
newsheet, "The Barb."
Council election rules prohibit any printed,
mimeographed, typed, or otherwise published ma
terial in behalf of any candidate, except the im
partial announcements of the can
didates in the press.
In a speech in which he declared
the barb sheet had become the
house organ of the barb party,
Petersen charged the paper with
violating the Associated Women
Students rule that no woman is
to be supported by any political
faction. "The Barb" stated that
the barb party will support 100
percent any candidate, man or
woman, endorsed by the Barb
Union. Petersen said that this
was against a similar board reso
lution. Murray refutes.
Ray Murray, graduate barb
council member, in refutation of
Petersen's charges declared that
the candidate in question was
merely the object of a weekly
personality sketch of some unaf
filiated student, and politics did
not enter in since his candidacy
(See COUNCIL, page 5.)
