PAGE 2 Wednesday, January 9, 1952 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Little Man On Campus By Bibler ? Let's Plant That Ivy Now Ruth Raymond On Thursday, Nov. 1, 1951, 1,050 University fluence in University affairs, better alumni-un- ituaents went to polls on both Ag and city dergraduate relations, more class spirit with campuses, at Unions and at Ferguson hall and freshman and sophomore class officers, and in elected eight officers to represent them as junior conclusion . . more taxes. Give, give, give 'til it ana senior class leaders. hurts." Votes cast by members of the All-University Again The Daily Nebraskan commented on the Party, or Faction, as it has been labeled in recent platforms by saying "some efforts have been made years, decided seven out of the eight class officers, by past class officers to do something concrete Junior class officers Marty Lewis, Bill Adams, Dan for the school. Some have honestly put forth ef- Tolman and John Greer and senior class officials fort ..." Joe Gifford and Bob Swaim all owe their claim to classfame to faction votes. Dick Phelps received both faction and Engineering college support in the election and John Adams, senior class vice president, gained his present political position through the good favor of Engineering college alone. As of today, Jan. 9, the junior class officers have not met and the senior class officers have held one or two meetings, we were unable to determine which. The problem to be answered by whatever student agency so qualified stu dent council or otherwise is that of whether or not these various officers are resting on their well-deserved faction laurels, whether or not they have, in the slightest manner, justified their existence, whether or not they plan to accom plish anything and Just what should be done about this apparent officer apathy. Joe Gifford, senior class president, in cam paigning for his office, advocated the "unity of Individuals as a whole" for the senior class. Joe suggested that "each member of our senior class look upon any other member as an important cog in the chain." The Daily Nebraskan, in commenting editorially Upon platforms of various office-seekers, suggested that student voters "see which students use glitter ing generalities and pious words, instead of con crete proposals for making this a better school." As of today, Gifford reports two meeting of the senior class officers. At these meetings, seem ingly vehicles for fusion of ideas, class spirit, the Junior-Senior class prom, leaving some reminder of the class of '52 to the University, and meeting with their soon-to-be-elected class council, were . John Adams, Gifford's running mate for the two top senior offices, was unavailable for com ment at the time of the election, but, as of today, thinks it would be a good idea "if we'd do some thing:. If nothing more than to organize." Another excerpt from The Daily Nebraskans editorial comment said, "Perhaps they became dis couraged because of the apathy of the classes. But sometimes class otficers were really more of a joke than anything else." Marty Lewis, president of the junior class, as sistant business manager of the Cornhusker, for mer AUF board member, and Corn Cob member, suggested, at election time, "More workable unity among students by the class officers working with the student council." Lewis, elected on Nov. 1, reports that the first meeting of the junior class officers will be called "right after finals." Again The Nebraskan commented, "Too of ten class offices have ben filled by people who wanted the glory and prestige of the office with out any of the work." "...too often, the class officers have merely been the individuals who planted the ivy on Ivy Day." Bill Adams, junior class vice president, had no comment at election time. Dan Tolman, at the time of election, advocated "more class spirit, unification of juniors to back student government." Jack Greer favored unifying the junior class, more successful class functions, University recognition throughout the state and nation, and promised "to handle all funds of the class carefully, conscien tiously and cautiously." We feel, in the light of these "glittering gen- the topics of discussion. The 'senior class president eralities and pious words," perpetuated on the vot reports that another meeting will be called soon to discuss, and, we assume to work, on the prob lems confronting the class of '52. Bob Swaim, financial guide of the senior elass, Indicated he was In favor of officers meet ing very soon and getting down to work. Swaim reported that one meeting of the officers has taken place to date. Swaim's "Platform For Progress" advocated emphasis on the Junior-Senior prom, senior in- ing intelligence of college students, that the plan for class officers, the election or their very exist ence is laughable. If class officers exist merely to plant the ivy, let them say so. If the offices, themselves, exist for attachment to their holders' name, let them be so. If they exist for any purpose, for any action or for any good, let them act To the eight class officers meet, organize, work, ac complish something, plant the ivy but stop kid- ding University voters and perhaps yourselves. New romances seem to be the fashion whether it s spring or winter. But maybe it's the after affects of Christmas. Anyway, this week's "pinned" list includes Elaine Cadwallader and Mort Novak, Cecilia Pinker ton and Dean Linscott, Don Leon ard and Joan Folmer, Jane Jordan and Dick Axtell, Pat Nellis and Bennett Martin, Pat Heebner and Hubie Shellenberger, Sue Reinhardt and Mac Bailey, Mary Jean Neely and Butch Williams and Don Bohmont and Betty Brinkman.

Stan Kenton's "Blues in Burles que was the top 'humor record of the year. Fran Warren scored with two sides; "One For My Baby.' and "The Boy Next Door." Les Brown's band, which ranked high in the coun try, turned out a unique album entitled "Over The Rainbow," which featured a new tonal ef fect. George Shearing's rendition of "Roses of Picardy" was one of his finest of the year. Perry Como sang "More Than You Know" with terrific feeling. Cab Calloway began a strong come back by organizing a big band and touring the states and South America. Salaries for star attractions went sky high: Eckstine received $13,000 for a week's work. Duke Ellington took three men away from Harry James; Willie Smith, Juan Tizol, and Louie Bellson. The biggest show of 1951 featured Ellington, Nat Cole, and Sarah Vaughan. Les Paul and his wife Mary Ford were the most talked about pair in the musical world as they continued to turn out top guitar discs. That is 1951 in a nutshell.

Dear Don Pieper: I arrived back from coaching the offense in the East-West game for Crippled Children and it was a great success. One reason, of course, was that we upset a fav ored West team and the other be cause it was a wonderful cause. In my remark about the Phi Beta Kappas, I feel that you. thought I was slamming the Phi Beta Kappas. On the other hand, my regard for that honor is terrific and in trying to say. something interesting, I men tioned that I would rather have my son take part in athletics, than to have that honor, which. I don't think is an unusual re-, mark. To this day I mean that,, but keep in mind that I also honor the people who are able to make the Phi Beta Kappas and was in no way trying to. belittle the honor. The trio to Nebraska was made because of my friendship for Bill Glassford and Potsy Clark. I really think thc:e two men are wonderful and I also hope that you realize that it is not the eas iest thing in the world for a coach to be flying around to banquets Hold Your Fire! . . To the Editor: Last night (Monday) as I drove my car down R Street between 16 and 14 streets, I suddenly found myself in the target area of a small barrage of snowballs. This barrage was coming from the rear of a double file of men who were just returning from glori ously serenading the Delta Gamma sorority house. I find no fault with the sere nading, as some of the so-called gentlemen can probably sing. I do find fault with the rather childish practice of snowballing anything and everything that comes down the street without regard to the possibility of property damage. It seemed to f make no difference to them that I was a total stranger Theatre Tryouts Begin Next Month Tryouts for "Street Scene," the Missouri Debaters To Meet NU Teams "wo Missouri university stu dents will participate in two ex hibition debates against Univer sity students in Lincoln Wednesday.

To the Editor: Sixteen cheers in return for five "ringside" tickets to Nebraska home basketball games is about as equitable as "5 cents for a 50 yard line seat at the Rose BowL According to our confessedly disproveable calculations, the team has heard about 16 or ganized cheers from the Cob Tassel section this season. Dur ing the Colorado game last Sat urday night, the guys and gals in the "choice" seats huffed and puffed their way through a grand total of four cheers. Re markable! We realize this feat was ac complished under considerable strain, since our cheerers weren't used to it (they limited it to no more than three in "any of the past four home games). Woe be unto the team if these fellows didn't have a great amount of spirit themselves. The laxity shown by the cheer ing section this season is most deplorable, especially since the rest of us lbyal students are obliged to be happy behind some supporter beam 30 rows up. We say either "give out or get out" of the mld-strlpe sec tion. Certainly we're not In terested in abolishing the cheer ing group.
