Fricri'ls of the stale univer

this year's row over the Daily
Nebraskan has resulted in a
victory for the student editor.
The question was whether
the editor had violated the re
lease dale on a news item sent
out by ihe. publicity depart
trying to obtain publication of
"news" which is slanted, while
a good newspaper man is try
ing to publish news which is
absolutely without slant or

Some call it preamble to Hell;
others call t the student union
Madhouse. This is a free country
and you can say anything you
damn please. But it's still the
DAILY offices:
Offices where the editor is so
particular that he throws a fit
when he finds a period upside
down.
Offices where two lady ex
change editors have gone crazy
reading of bargains in cities a
thousand miles away.
Offices where some people clean
up by sponging off of others.
"
Offices where a girl with curves
is always cornered.
Offices where when it comes to
swearing, it seems that people
just use naughty words as a mat
ter of curse.
Offices where it seems that
everyone, including the editor,
puts his problems aside for a
brainy day and then sits around
waiting for it to come.
Offices where time and tide
wait for no man and neither do
the women.
Offices where the cost of furni
ai .. breakage exceeds that of the
World war.
But we wouldn't give them up
for anything.
93 bandsters
go to K-State
Ninety - three band members
made the trip to Manhattan Sat
urday, according to Dean Thomp
son's office.
Seventy-one of the senior band
(sophomores or above) had clear
scholastic records and were ap
proved. Sixty of these were elig
ible from the start, 19 ineligible.
Of these, eight had removable con
ditions and incompletes from last
year and were excluded. The re
maining 11 were allowed to ac
company the band.
The dean's office had requested
that the list of 36 freshmen who
have been playing with the Var
sity Band be approved as to eligi
bility. Checking the list, the office
found that 7 had delinquencies in
scholarship, so the expenses of
only 29 freshmen were paid. Scho
lastic requirements for freshmen
band men are the same as for
footballers.
Two graduate members and one
student with exceptionally high
grades but less than a 12 hour
schedule also made the trip. A
number of members without clear
records went anyway and paid
their own expenses.
Eligibility rules for participa
tion in activities were quoted by
the office. A student must:
1. Be carrying at least 12
hours satisfactorily at the time
of participation.
2. Be credited with at least
12 hours for the last semester
that he was registered in the
university preceding participa
tion. 3. Be credited with at least
27 hours for the tWo semesters
preceding participation.
