There are about 300 soldiers barracked in the new Don L. Love
librarv buildine. 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adequate quarters of the old library which was outdated many years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.

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

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."

LOOMIS, Phi Psis, and HARRY JOHNSON, grid
lineman last year, are all stationed at St. Ambrose.
Marine PFC. 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

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.
