The Union consists of eight
committees, each performing du

They also are in charge of the
annual liinnday rarty on ivy Day
eve. Then, of course, there are
many other special occasions such
as the Kiddie's Party near Christ
mas where a local Santa Claus
loads up children of married stu
dents with free goodies and gifts.
: Convocation.
The Convocation committee
which, oddly enough, handles con
vocations brings speakers from
far and near to address the stu
dent body. Convocations are fi
nanced by a budget from general
University and Union funds. The
campus Convocation Committee is
composed of faculty selected by
the Chancellor, Union Director
Duane Lake, and three student
representatives. Besides the con
vocation itself, the committee or

Berle Likes Hollywood
Milton Berle has intimated to
friends that he may remain in
Hollywood indefinitely and do
his television show from there.
Campus
Chatter
Candy and cigars were flying
fast and furious Monday night
when the multi campus pinnings
were announced to surprised
friends. Traveling around cam
pus, the Sig Alphas made a spe
cial stop at the Kappa house for
a few surprise candy passing.
Since this column will be al
most entirely devoted to pin
mates, a list of some more couples
follows:
Pinned:
Gretchcn Bowers and Tad
Tucker.
Shirley Hahn and Dan Jones.
Dawn Dagget and Walt Steven
son (repinned).
Marty Hamilton and Dick
Shinn.
Virge Adle and Joy Lee Soper.

Meekin. Gardie Johson and Marilyn

Tom Vandal and Norma Spcer.
Paul Engler and Caroline
Krcycik.
Keeping Busy
Mike Madden, Don Teterson
and Keith Scala are vicing for
honors with Bev Deal, who is
kept busy managing school and
social life. Keen competition al
ways makes for a better story.
Three dates in one day mean
nothing to a certain freshman
beauty, Pat Reed. Jack Bryant
scored top place Saturday night
and escorted her to East Hills.
Poor fellow saying goes that he
spent the entire evening coping
with introductions couldn't even
talk Sunday.
Where's The Tin
Bob Swain got so intrigued
with his lengthy deliberation of
to-pin or not-to-pin Sally West
crmark Saturday night that when
he finally got around to asking
Sally to take his pin, he couldn't
find it. It only happens once in
a lifetime, Bob, be prepared the
next time.
The annual Alpha Xi tea dance
for all university pledges Satur
day kept the actives busy in the
kitchen waiting on their younger
sisters. A large group of DU
peldges also kept Alpha Xi
pledge Ruth Geisert busy danc
ing throughout the two-hour
party.
Competition
Eligible bachelor, Ed Donne
gan has bee" spending a lot of
time at the DG house with Jo
Norsworthy. Competition is
rough, but the "eligible" may
came through if he keeps his
name on the dating form.

A word of praise is in
The 10,000 students and fans who viewed Saturday's
unveiling of the Cornhusker football team saw the most
promising Nebraska squad in at least four years.
They saw a lot of things they have seen only in opposing
Learns for a long time. They saw, for instance, flashes of
brilliant downfield blocking. They also saw a team in good
condition. And they saw a smart, deceptive quarterback
with a needle-sharp passing arm.
The lack of these three essentials has hampered Ne
braska for quite a while. We don't say their presence will
give it an undefeated season or a Big Seven championship,
but they may produce a season's record of five wins. And to
victory-starved Husker fans, this would be a welcome im
provement. Ever since we came to Nebraska, we have been hearing
of Nebraska's rebuilding drive. It begins to look as if this
year will be the first to show definite improvement. We hope
our exuberance is not premature.
Wanted: 19 Bi Persons . . .
Formation of the 1919-'50 Student Council is now in the
hands of 19 hand-picked campus organizations. So is student
government and its fate on this campus.
For it will be the job of the representatives chosen by
the 19 groups to show both the student body and University
officials that student government is not an illusion but a
responsibility a realistic one.
It will be the task of the 19 representatives and the
four holdover members to rid the new Council of a "faculty
domination" tinge.
It will be their task to silence monotonous charges of
"dirty politics" on the Student Council. A fresh start .
overwhelmingly so ought to start the 23 students in the
direction of sincere campus service.
Council members will also have to prove to participants
in the Rag-sponsored Constitutional Assembly that their
plans for a Council constitution are better than the results
of the Assembly.
The representatives will be busy, too, with such prob
lems as student parking, football seating, displaced students,
club constitutions, student elections, and the usual quota of
other functions.
So it will be a big year for the Council. It will be a year
that will take big persons those interested in good student
government, with plenty of time and enthusiasm to carry
out the promise of this new Council.

course will include directions on
pronounciation, speech patterns,
vocabulary and other phases of
speech which the foreign students
feel need special stress.
In the pastj the speech depart
ment has worked individually

class.
Enrollment is still open, and
interested students should report
to 205 Temple, before the course
is closed.
