There are about S.OOO civilian university students and fatuity members who would like to use the Don L. Love library building for the purpose for which it was riven the university by Mr, Love. There is an empty field house which was used satisfactorily as armv barracks last year when it housed over 300 soldiers. There are also empty offices in old Nebraska Hall which were ROTC command headquarters before the war. Too long now university students have struggled along in the in adequate quarters of the old library which was outdated many years before the new library was built. When Love library was proposed nnd during its building, classes of UN students could scarcely wait to move in. Then the ASTP and Air Corps training program came along, and the students, being reasonable, saw that this new building was "the only possible dormitory space for the 1600 men who moved into Nebraska. But now, that only 300 men are housed in the spacious rooms of the new library, and that there is a possibility the army pro gram may drop to even less men, it seems that the conversion of Love library to its original purpose should be undertaken by the university officials. The Field House which last year during the peak of the army train ing program here was a barracks for over 300 men this year is stand ing emmpty. Why not move the army units now in the new library into the field house? Former ROTC offices in Nebraska hall are also stalling empty. Since the ROTC program and the army training programs are un der the direction of the same cammpus military personnel, why not let the military personnel move back into their old headquarters? This would leave the new library empty and ready for a crew of workmen to complete the interior decoration of the building accord ing to the architect's first drawings. Personnel of the old library would only be too glad to move the university collection of books from the old campus to the mall. And 300 students are only wait ing to be able to see the inside and use the newest addition to the campus. OVER 21 ONLY: Saturday, Oct. 28, is the last day of regis tration at the City Hall in order to vote in the coming national elec tion. There Ain't No Such DoJo. ... Recent discussions in the Student Council about the legality of the existing political parties on the campus have brought about an investigation by the Nebraskan, results of which were published in today's issue. This investigation shows that the present Barb and Union (greek) parties, have never been legal, since the basis for their recognition as such by the Council is that body's acceptance of their platforms. Never since their organization have the platforms IMELVIN SHERMAN, BILL LINSCOTT and DICK Pvt. BOB MIZE, Sigma Chi, is working in the German Prisoners of war Camp headquarters oi Ft. Meade, Md. He is quite pleased with the num ber of "slick chicks and places to go" in nearby Washington and Baltimore, so is having no trouble occupying his off-duty hours. Bob had a reunion with First Lt. BILL LONG MAN, brother Sigma Chi, who is with the ground forces at Ft. Meade, putting the infantry boys thru their last phase of training. He also sends along the whereabout of three other Sigma Chis. "BILL McKERNEY married a redhead from 'way out west and is now in the thick of it in France. The latest on DWIGHT MOELL is Camp Breckin ridge, Ky., and ART MASON is floating around somewhere in the South Pacific." PFC. JEANNETTE MICKEY of the women marines was back at UN on a brief leave before taking up motor transport duties at the naval air station in El Torro, Calif. She took her train ing at Camp Lejeune, No. Car. At UN, "Mickey" was Mortar Board president of WAA, and a mem ber of Tri Delt. 1 Lt. (sg) "CHICK" OLDFATHER, Phi Delt, is gunnery officer on an escort carrier somewhere in the Atlantic. He received his promotion to the rank of senior grade lieutenant last June. 0 Sgt. KURT PORJESZ, promoter of the Prairie Schooner and university playwright a couple of years back, is now stationed at the Lincoln Air Base, waiting crew assignment on his B-29's. Rumor has it that he is the author of a couple of novels, and a column on "Interludes in Vienna" be sides his army career. Flight Officer DON ANDRESON, Phi Gam, is waiting at the Lincoln Air Base for assignment to a B-17 crew, while fraternity brother Flight Of ficer NED NUTZMAN is waiting for his B-24 crew. LT. PAUL EVELAND, Farm House, has been transferred from Camp Atterbury, Ind., to Fort Jackson, S. C. with the field artillery. WARREN MARTIN SWANSON, Phi Gam, was recently graduated from the Naval Air Training Center at Corpus Christi, Texas, and received the commission as en sign in the USNR. Apprentice Seaman KENT CARROLL, Sigma Chi, is back on mid-term leave from the V-12 pro gram at St. Ambrose College, Davenport, Iowa. Les Said The Better By Les Ghifeky of the Barb and Greek parties been publicized. This would indicate that the Council had a reason to clarify the political situation, altho it is true they have taken an unduly long time to do so. It is clear, however, that they themselves did not know what they were arguing about, since the subject of the argument, namely, the existing political parties, did not legally exist. Therefore, unless the Barb and Union parties reform and get them selves a platform which is recognized by the Student Council, not only will the parties be a myth, but there will be no student council, since council representation is based on the party system of election. Reform of the Student Council is not in the hands of the present Student Council members, but is up to the vigor of student political leaders, whose duty it is to organize their parties on a sound platform. Records (Continued from Page 1.) erning student elections and in that same year on April 22 the elections were held with the pa per saying, "Two men's political parties are contending for the major offices while women can didates may or may not be backed by the barb and union parties un officially. Affiliation of men will be marked on the ballots, women's will not." The two parties referred to in this paragraph were new that year but did not submit a plat form or state what group they were representing. Barb vs. Greek. In 1942 the report of the elec tion read, "It's a case of barbs versus Greeks with both partirs geared for a close battle." In '43 the election was post poned until the fall. Until 1940 the parties presented platforms on the day of election and the platforms were printed in The Nebraskan showing the different political stands. In 1940 the platforms included planks like: "An inclusion in the building funds to erect and main tain a men's dormitory compar able to Carrie Belle Raymond and Julia Love halls;" "a more satis factory system of bookkeeping with a definite policy in regard to authorization of vouchers and a closer supervision of student organization funds;" "a provision for a stringent method of recall to hold over the head of lax officers who have . . . failed to fulfill the obligations Imposed on them."

NORRIE ANDERSON, Phi Gam and ex-sports editor of the Nebraskan, is wandering into Lincoln quite frequently of late, since he is stationed at the Navy ammunition depot m -Hastings, Neb. Other former UN Marine PFC's now at Hastings irfclude VIC CLARK, Farm House and The great Harry has come and gone, and as a direct result, classes were much smaller Tuesday than usual. A nice chem prof that we heard about postponed a Tues day test until Thursday because of the trumpeter, but no professor we know of felt that way. At least 25,000 of the people there Monday night kicked us in the ankle, an other 25,000 hit us in the back with roving elbows, and the remaining 95,000 got clipped by us. Hope the Homecoming dance Saturday night draws n as many people. From all indication it will be a good dance, not as crowded as last year when it was in the Union, and while Basie Givens can't give the great James any serious competi tion, he's better than a juke box and some of the bands the Pike has been dragging in lately. Just to inject a serious and profound note into things and an old note, too There was a man walking down the street recent ly, and he was quite horribly astonished to see a little girl kicking her even littler brother down the street with all her heart and soul. "Hey, little girl," he yelled. "Don't you know you shoudn't kick your little brother around like that." The little girl stopped kicking long' en ough to answer casually, "Oh that's all right he's dead!" Big question: What happens to the stu dent war schoarship fund? Originally es- tablished by the Student Foundation to help finance college for returned veterans, the fund finds itsef with nowhere to go now that the GI Bill of Rights is doing so much more than the fund could hope to do. Ells worth DuTeau, alumni secretary wants to us the couple odd thousand dollars for send ing out publicity to servicemen to get them back to UN after the war, but we agree with Foundation prexy Nat Neumann. She thinks that the people who contributed the money to the fund would like to see it go for some really worthy cause, rather than for pos tage stamps. varsity football end, JOHN BINNING, Phi Gam, BERT BROWN, DU, ' HANK REICHEL, varsity grid halfback, and BRUCE BOYD, Delta Sig.
