BAND PLANNING Don Lenta, director of the university pep
band, and Drum Major Walt Davis get together and work on a
routine for the oand to present at a halftime during a Nebraska
game. On the slate for the Iowa State game is a special "good luck"
formation.
With the advent of the football
season, students can once again
expect to see all the color and
precision marching of the famous
university R.O.T.C. band, directed
by Don Lentz and led by Drum
Major Walt Davis.
Varied Formations Presented.
The Scarlet and Cream 106
piece marching unit will present
an unusually varied six formation
show Saturday. Included will be
an Iowa State tribute directed
to the Iowa rooters. Then the
band will go into its good luck
theme. The first formation will
be a huge L-U-C-K, while the
band plays "A Great Day." Then
the members will place their hats
on the ground in formation, while
they superimpose upon it; first a
huge four leaf clover, then a
horseshoe, and finally a lucky
pair of dice. The band will then
go back to the L-U-C-K forma
tion, pick up their hats, and pre
sent their final tribute to Dad in
an unusually slanted letter for
mation, playing "The Man I
Love."
These formations will only take
about 15 minutes of the time be
tween halves. But this short
amount of time that the drill
takes represents many hours of
co-operation between each band
member and his director, as well
as many months of developing an
idea.
Gamma Lambda Discusses
Theme.
After being suggested to Di
rector Lentz or Drum Major
Davis, a theme is talked over
with the members of Gamba
Lambda, Nebraska's national band
fraternity. Then it is mapped out
on a cardboard football field
made to scale to the real football
field. Here Band President Dar
win Fredricson, past President
Jack Snider, Gambda Lambda
prexy Kent Tiller and other band
officers are called in to help map
out the drills, suggest ideas and
music and generally contribute
their experience toward success
of the band.

These trophies on display in the new P.E. building will be award
ed to wincrs of various intramural sports. The coveted Jack Best
trophy will be given to best all around organization in IM ath
letic competition.
In 1943, an article appeared in
the Daily Nebraskan which began:
"Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, no
longer a fraternity, now bears the
sign 'Panhellenic House.' "
The house was being used at
that time to quarter upperclass
girls who were going through
rush week.

Optimistic Note
Sounded at End
OfSehoolWcek
BY LEE HARRIS.
The school year is in full
swing with one full week under
the belts of ihe better than 10,
000 U.N. students.
So far this year the "poor"
student seems to have become the
forgotten part of the university,
at least this fact appears to be
so on first sight.
As if the lines of registration
were not enough along with the
task of fighting through the
bookstore crowds to downhearten
the average student, he now finds
that someone has decided last
year's seats at the football game
are too good for him. So this year
he will sit in the balcony away
from the congested areas around
the 50-yard line and view the
football games from the clouds.
On top of this, mind you, the
"poor" student has had to con
tend with first week assignments
that after a three month layoff
seem like giant killers.
Well, the first week is over
and after Saturday the school
year will be old stuff. To those
who are already tired, disgusted,
and out of sorts don't feel bad,
things might get worse.

Ticket Sellers
Vie for Honors
Who will reign as Honorary
Producer of the University The
ater? That's the question the , cam
pus is asking as organized
houses round the first turn of
the ticket-selling race. Although,
it's too early to predict winners
or name leaders "in the campaign,
its has been rumored in ticket
selling circles that one fraternity
has already passed the half-century
mark is sales.
However, according to theatre
officials, it's still a wide open af
fair. This is mainly due to the
lack of coverage of certain dis
tricts and people.
Because of this lack of cover
age, the University Theatre will
periodically relay sales' tips and
hints to the Rag for publication.
Today's salestips:
The faculty and Lincoln's
business and residential districts
have not been receiving ample
sales coverage!
All organized houses should
select immediately and pho.ie in
the name of their Honorary -Producer
candidates to the Uni
versity Theatre business office.
