The fifth question of the Pogo
papers read, "Would you favor
a crusade to force Orphan Annie
to change her dress?" Many of
the students who supported the
Pogo campaign stated that they
thought Annie should change her
dress. ,
At least, under extreme pres
sure from the Lancaster Pogo

the orphan's home, little Annie
adly took off her old, milldewed,
red dress in favor of a check

ASME Plan
First Meeting
The first meeting of the year
for the student branch of the Amer

neers will be held in Richards Lab
Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
The speaker for this meeting
will be James Smith, supervising
engineer of Reactor Studies andKv
Tracer Applications for . Westing
house Corporation. Smith is com
ing from Kansas for. Jhe meeting
and he will talk to the men on the
basic concepts in the application of
nuclear energy, according to Don
Ashley, vice chairman.
Smith has attended Kansas State,
Wisconsin University, Chicago
University, where he did ex
tensive study in nuclear physics.
Recently Smith was at Oak Ridge,
Tenn., in the school of reactor tech
nology. The officers of ASME are, Ver
non Kemp, chairman; Ashley, vice
chairman; Ray Valasek, secretary,
and Herbert Abts, treasurer.
parell until the Sunday papers
come out, we feel that Annie's
new attire will start a great
revolution in the comic strips.
Praise must also be given to
the old bag in Harold Grey's gay
adventures who was responsible
for the actual change. Propo
nents of sartorial conservatism
who stated in their response to
the Pogo Questionnaire that they
felt Annie should retain her
dress were probably very
shocked at the drastic procedure
the old orphan mother utilized in
ridding the comics of the contro
versial piece of clothing.
She burned it!
And little Orphan Annie who
was innocently taking a shower
was completely unaware of the
whole affair.
Although it is not ce r t a i n
whether she wore them as long
as her dress, Annie's shoes also
bit the proverbial dust (or in
this instance mud for our hero
ine was wallowing around in a
bog). Yes, Annie is changing
her shoes too.
This glorious revolution might
spread to other comic strips in
the future.
Who knowsmaybe Casey
Jones will be given another
chance.
Convocation
Chancellor Clifford Hardin will
address the students on "The
State of The University" at an
all-student convocation at 11
a.m. Thursday at the Coliseum,
many of the current campus
problems, their extent and so
lutions. This is the first of what
is hoped may become an annual
series of addresses, according to
James Pittenger, Assistant to
the Chancellor.
Classes will be excused for
students to attend the convocation.
Rallies:

features
The combined efforts of the pep
squads and the Cheerleaders are
planning a new addition to Corn
husker foorball rallies.
At the next rally, as guests of
the cheerleaders, a sorority and
a fraternity will both give their
versions of an original football
yell.
The idea according to Dick Hen
drix, chairman of the Corn Cob
rally committee, is to promote
new unity and spirit on campus.
At the rallies from now on there
will be some form of entertain
ment. There will also be a dif
ferent guest speaker at each rally,
who will be there to deliver a
short pep talk to the students. This
Friday Ellsworth Du Teau, Uni
versity alum, will be guest speak
er. Future rallies will scart at en
trance of Selleck Quad at 6:45
p.m. and from there will proceed to
the Union.
This week's rally will start at
the Quad and parade on the cam
pus grounds ending at the Union
where the Chi Omegas and the
Sigma Phi Epsilons will bagin the
new style rallies with their origin
al football yells.

Foltz explained that the selec

Beneke's Technique
Tex Beneke demonstrates his
technique with the saxaphone
on which he has achieved fame
and which he had been playing
for the last ten years, despite
offers from instrument firms to
custom-build one for him. He
has been playing the sax ever
since he was nine when he firir
saw one played and persuaded
his parents to buy one for him.
Later he formed his own trio,
with Ben Hogan, who had not then

With a mellow, refinished, gold
plated sax, Gordon "Tex" Beneke
has built a name synonymous with
a fresh style of music equaled
by none. Join this with the fact
that Tex has reorganized the Glen
Miller band, they now have what
is --considered to be one of the
nation's foremost orchestras.
This ensemble will be here Oct.
12 at the Coliseum as part of the
Tony Martin show. The wide ap
peal of the show with the Jodi
mars, a rock n' roll group former
ly with Bill Haley, Conn and
Mann, nationally famous dancing
duo and several other known acts
along with Tony Martin and Tex
Beneke's orchestra has brought a
large advance on ticket sales.
Many wonder if Tex's legendary
saxophone isn't the key to his gi
ant success. He bought it 18
years ago before joining Miller's
band, and he refuses to part
with it. Buying it second hand for
$200, he has spent $750 in repairs
to keep it in working order.
"A good sax is just like a good
pipe," he explains. "It gets mel-

dreamed of a career in golf,
playing the drums. Beneke's big
break came when he joined the
Glen Miller Band in 1938. In
fact, it was Miller who gave him
the nickname "Tex", which has
become so much a trademark
that now his given name, Gor
don, is all but forgotten. Beneke

low with age. At least this one
has. I just can't feel at home
with another instrument."
That Tex Beneke's and Glen Mil
ler's name should be linked so close
ly together cannot be considered
unusual, for Tex was part of the
original unit recruited by Glen in
1939 and remained as the main
cog in the band until Miller en
listed in the army in 1946.
When Glen was declared "mis
sing in action," Don Haymes, a
close ! friend of Glen's, thought
carrying on the band would be
a fitting tribute to him. It was
logical and proper to ask Tex
Beneke to head it. Tex before had
always said, "I wanted to head the
kind of band that Glen Miller
had, and I realized it would be
virtually impossible to duplicate
the magnificent musical machine
that Glen had built."
But through the tragic fate of
war, Tex got his chance. A large
band was organized, just as Glen
had planned, and it met with phe
nomenal success. Their first en
gagement cracked every record
in the 26 year history of the Capi
tol Theater in New York. From
then on, they went upward, win
ning polls and popularity contests,
breaking records at the top thea
ters and turning out hit records.
With such numbers as "Body
and Soul", "Embraceable You"
"St. Louis Blues March" and
"Blues in the Night March," they
are an outstanding attraction
wherever they go.

The Outside World:
Mlai, Ike Trade Word
Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson assailed President Eisen
hower Tuesday for his adoption of a "pattern of political looseness."
Stevenson expressed resentment over Eisenhower's reference to his
statements on education as "wicked nonsense."
The Democratic hopeful also challenged the President to "take
the leadership" in a move to ban hydrogen bomb tests and suggested
Russia is willing to go along.
Stevenson 'Confused'?
The closest President Eisenhower came to referring to Adlai Stev
enson Tuesday was to allude to the Democratic nominee as an "ap
parntly confused candidate" on the issue of federal aid for education.
He also referred to "political oratory ... at its most reckless
which had charged his administration with failing as "not guarding
the peace and not caring for the welfare of any humble citizen or
any needy family in our land."
He also attacked the Stevenson proposal contemplating an end to
hydrogen bomb tests, saying it is not feasible at this time.
Charges Pending Report
Lincoln authorities are waiting to determine the definite condition
of 39-year-old Mrs. Lucille Suckstorf before filing charges against her
