Festivities Start . . .
Homecoming, a big week-end for students and alums
ftlik6 is here.
Corn Cobs and Tassels, pep organizations, have planned
a full two-day celebration which will include rallies, house
decorations, parade, Tep Queen election, and of course, the
annual Homecoming dance in the coliseum Saturday night.
Homecoming is an event that happens just once a year
and is looked forward to by both the student body a'ld alums
who will have memories of festivities from years back when
they were in school. Homecoming is an all-university event
which will display all the pep and enthusiasm students have
for their school. With all the events and displays that have
been planned, it should be a fun week-end for everyone.
Festivities will officially open tonight with a huge rally
at which the candidates for Pep Queen, nominated by the
Tassels, will be announced. After the rally, there will be
an all-campus election to name this year's Homecoming
Pep Queen, who will be introduced at the dance Saturday.
Voting booths will be set up in the Coliseum and the Union
immediately following the rally. Also tonight will be the
judging of the house decorations.
Starting Saturday, activities will be the Homecoming
Float parade which will begin at the Coliseum and journey
through the campus and downtown. Winners of the float
contest will be announced at the dance Saturday evening.
Then, Saturday afternoon, the game! The traditional:
freshman tug-of-war has been scheduled just prior to the
game in the stadium. This year's procedure, sponsored by
the Innocent Society, will be entirely new with each group
on campus that has freshman beanie wearers sending rep
resentatives to tug against representatives of the upper
classmen. If the frosh win, they may discard their beanies
permanently! Half time entertainment which includes the
band marching and the presentation of last year's Pep
Queen, has also been scheduled.
The Homecoming dance Saturday night promises to be
one of the best ever and will be highlighted by the presenta
tion of the Pep Queen and the announcement of parade
float winners and house decoration winners.
Homecoming celebrations will end Saturday night, but
the campus enthusiasm and spirit of fun and loyalty should
continue for the rest of this year and every year following.

.arty, party! The whirl of
homecoming outshadows all so
cial events of the fall season,
and this proves to be one of the
most exciting. Already under
cover men have been coloring up
the campus walks (with the
rally committee and Skip Stahl
hot on their trail); treasure bal
loons are insuring a ticket for
"EEEEach and EEEEvory Stew
dant" (according to Mania Tep-
pcrman who has donated ner
lungs to the cause), and plotting
is already under way about pil
fering the effegy (bruin bear to
you illiterates.)
Many, many are making plans
for the gala homecoming dance.
Jack McDill will squire Mary
Lou Beran (who finally made up
her mind). For his first home
coming brawl, Tom Tucker has
chosen Marilyn Brewster. Natur
ally, Janet Stearns and John
Ayres will attend together as will
Shirley Baker and Don Woods.
Dick Kuhl and Jack Kcece will
come out of hibernation and es
cort ole grad Jody Srb and il
lustrious alum Margie Sturm.
A commercializing few have
thrown caution to the winds and
will go into business for them
selves at the Italian Village Sat
urday night in competition with
the dance at the coliseum. Jo
Moss and Don Darst, Jane Rock
well and Wendy Ganger will be
chief party-ers.
Let's Get Started.
The Sig Eps will start the day
early Saturday with a breakfast
dance Saturday morning. Prob
able steadies Mary Kuppinger
and Russ Laird, along with Tat
Pischel and Tom Loisel will at
tend if they can keep their eyes
open.
This is News: Loch Ohmond,
mountain climber and world
traveler, has a date! Lucky girl
is June Shaberg who is dying to
hear the story of his life.
Backtracking to Friday night
we find Allan Scofield at the
Union Halloween party. Novelty
of the evening will be the cham
ber of horrors where all girls
are guaranteed a head start with
prospective Sadie Hawkins Day
date. (Union, Nov. 13).
Also on Friday night, the In
tervarsity Christian Fellowship
will be strictly spooking at their
Halloween party. Mary May,
had swamee.
With a little more practice,
Dick Lockman may be able to
call some of the square dances
at the Wesley Foundation deal on
ag Friday. At least he has all
the qualifications.
Despite the abundance of
parties Friday, there will no
doubt be a crowd at the Delian
union's Screwball party especi
ally the more curious.
SMALL TALK! The ZBT
pledges were really whooping it

Bandless Parade: . . .
According to the last report from the office of the Dean of Stu
dent Affairs, T. J. Thompson, students who have classes on Saturday
morning will not be excused for the Homecoming festivities.
Members of the U. N. .marching band, a group scheduled to head
the Homecoming parade in full dress on Saturday morning, will not
be excused from classes. They were allowed to miss last Saturday s
classes to make the migration trip.
This brings to mind a question, one which we haven't resolved as
yet, of which Is more important that students be attending classes
in line with the fundamental purpose of the educational institution,
or that students be participating in activities (and foregoing aca
demic pursuit) which will possibly generate within them additional
spirit and loyalty to the Institution.
It is not for us to make the answer. However, we would like
to point out to the administration that the Homecoming parade has
a definite and valuable promotional function for the university, not
only with Lincoln people but with outstate people as well, many
of whom are U.N. alums. One of the finest attractions of the parade
(as it is of all university activities in which it participates) has.al
ways been the Nebraska marching band. A
We are firmly convinced that to deny the band the freedom M
have a 100 turnout Saturday and to have this result in a parade
without a full dressed band would be an unfortunate damper on the I
parade. The prestige which the marching band has rightly earned 1
in its years of existence deserves to be maintained. I
There Is still time for action, and we hope that further con
sideration will be given to the situation, with the result that the
Homecoming festivities equal, and perhaps excel, those eelebra
in previous years. '
