Election Discrepancies Told:
Monson Wins
No
By Pat Nordin.
Because of an inaccuracy in
election results and of irregulari
ties surrounding the annual spring
elections last Thursday, the Daily
Nebraskan presents corrections
and errors and an account of pre
election details.
Gwen Monson. sophomore can
didate for Ag Exec board, was
elected to the board Thursday
although her name was not
among those listed in Friday's
Daily Nebraskan.
Neal Baxter, sophomore candi
date, was elected to the Ag Exec
Board as reported along with
Alice Boswell and George Pinker
ton, freshmen candidates. Jean
Wielage was not among the fresh
man winners. She was listed as
being electei.
No Report
No official report of election
returns was prepared by the elec
tion committee chairman, Stan
Ahrends, to present to the Daily
Nebraskan or to file with Council
records.
Publications of the Ag election
figures were denied the Daily
Nebraskan following a decision by
the Ag Exec board advisors, Irwin
L. Hathaway and C. E. Rosen
quist. According to Hathaway, it
has been the policy for years not
to release the figures because, "in
the face of overwhelming major
ity for one candidate, it relieves
embarassment and tension for
those who poll a very low vote."
Rosenquist agreed with Hatha
way but stated that as advisors,
they could not make the final
decision and that such action
would be up to the Ag Exec
board. A meeting being impossible
at that time, the Daily Nebraskan
published the names minus the
figures. Figures on the election of

the purpose and aims of the
group.
The group has been organized
for nearly a year and was be
gun for the purpose of aiding the
educational endeavors.
While the "Hub" has presented
many programs in the city and
given concerts throughout the
state and in neighboring states,
this will be the first concert giv
en in Lincoln.
The group specializes in spir
ituals and though the concert will
feature mainly this type of music
there will also be classified and
semi -classical songs offered.
Ag Exec Post
Official Report Prepared
Ag college representation on the
Council were secured only by
special permission of the advisors
who recognized the Council's
authority to publish Council re
turns. Time Elements
The Daily Nebraskan's difficul
ty in obtaining a complete list of
election candidates for publication
with - statements of policy and
platform was explained by failure
of the election committee chair
man to submit applications to the
registrar's office in sufficient time
for checking the candidates.
The applications were first sub
mitted to Dean Harper's office.
The Dean's secretary, Phyllis
Crandall, stated that little was
known about the election in that
office and that no duplicate list
of applicants was retained. Lack
of information in that office as to
exact application form may have
been one cause for the omission
of names from the ballot. Failure
of the Council to publish a com
plete list of the necessary qualifi
cations may also have contributed
to filing errors.
Errors in Filing
Shirley King, bizad junior,
Anne Whitham, arts and sciences
junior, and Dora Lee Niedenthal,
fine arts junior, were omitted
from the ballot due to errors in
filing.
The error on the part of the
Council Election committee omit
ting the name of Shirlee Wal
lace, bizad junior, from the Pub
Board ballot caused the Judiciary
committee to rule the election of
senior Pub board members in
valid. Miss Wallace had filed
correctly and therefore contested
the election.
The Council elect will hold a
re-election for that position alone
some time next week, Ned Raun,
chairman of the Judiciary com
mittee, announced.

The University of Nebraska
Foundation is officially Organiz
ing "class agent program" this
week to encourage greater in
terest in the University by its
60,00 Oalumni and former stu
dents. Fifty-two prominent Cornhusk
er alumni living from coast to
coast will be responsible for so
liciting funds to assist in develop
ment of the University of Ne
braska, through the 33,000 gradu
ates selected for the Foundation's
initial expansion step.
Brings Grads Closer
H. S. Wilson, of Lincoln, Foun
dation president, explains it this
way: "Our aim is to bring every
graduate closer to the activities
of the University and the Foun
dation. It will also give them a
chance to make their contribu
tions through their own classes.
As time goes on we hope to stim
ulate a real rivaly between the
classes."
"Every great university has a
great foundation through which
alumni and friends may give," ac
cording to Chancellor Gustavson.
"The Nebraska Foundation shares
in our belief that the university
is on the threshold of a great de
velopment. To meet the chal
lenge of this development, the
Foundation seeks the interest and
support of alumni and the many
other friends of the institution."
New Pros ram
It is hoped that the class agent
program may eventually yield in
excess of $200,000 annually. This
money, plus funds received from
existing sources, will be used to
support scholarships, fellowships,
student loan funds, research,
equipment and additions to the
University's physical plant.
The Foundation's contributions
to the University have shown
progress, Mr. Branch said. In 1944
the University and its students
received only $3,700 from the
Foundation; but in 1947 this fig
ure increased to $79,110. The
Foundation's assets now total
more than half a million dollars.

tion," will be presented by the
University Choral union as its
annual spring oratorio Sunday,

seum. Under the direction of
Professor David Foltz, the pro
duction will involve nearly 700
university students.
The Choral Union is composed
of Hie University Singers, two
sections of University Chorus
and the College of Agriculture
Chorus. The groups, directed sep
arately by Dr. Arthur Westbrook,
Professor Foltz and Mrs. Altinas
Tullis, combine twice during the
season for a Christmas and spring
oratorio. "The Messiah" is the
traditional offering at Christmas
but the spring presentation varies
from year to year.
The 75-piece University Sym

Professor Emanuel Wishnow, will
participate. At the organ and
piano will be Professors Myron
Roberts and Earnest Harrison,
respectively.

in numerous oratorio performanc

Denver, the University of Colo
rado at Boulder, and the Corn
Palace at Mitchell, S.D.

of a local church choir, Anderson

4 t
ing forgotten in preparation for
events like bronc riding, steer
riding, and calf roping; a special
coed calf catching contest will
provide the fairer sex with a
chance to get into the rodeo spirit
for a day. Competition in all
events is limited only to regularly
enrolled students in order to keep
the rodeo strictly collegiate.
Hailing from such towns as
Ashby, Nebraska, Saguache, Colo
rado, and RosewelL New Mexico,
the students pictured above are a
few of the many rodeo enthusiasts
who will give the Farmers' Fair
Rodeo of 1918 a true western
flavor.
