Pub Board Election Interviews To Continue
The procedure used by Tassels,
Women's pep organization, in tbe
electio of Homecoming Queea
will be reviewed by tbe Student
Council ia order to determine if
tbe method used by Ibis organiza
tion in selecting its candidates for
Homecoming Queen is in tbe best
interests of tbe entire st u d e o t
feody.-
This review will be carried out
tinder the stipulations of a motion
passed in the Council Wednesday
to recall the Tassel's constitution.
The motion was introduced by
Mick Neff, Council vice - presi
dent. The motion is not to change the
method, Neff said, but to look over
the constitution to see if this meth
od of choosing Nebraska's Home
coming Queen as in the best in
terests cf the University. !
Under the present system, five:
finalists are chosen by the Tassels
from tbe junior class members of
tbe organization. The Qu e e n is
elected by all-University election
two weeks before Homecoming.
A number of girls from organ
ized houses have objected to the'
present method, Neff said, in that
the election is not truly representa
tive of the University. Girls can
be nominated from only one group, 1

timing. Last year the bands
formed on the field in one minute
and three seconds. If tone band
makes a mistake, the whole show
would be ruined, according to
Donald Lentz, director .of the Uni
versity hand.
John Selleck, comptroller and
former acting chancellor ,of the
university, was the originator of
the Band Day idea. In 1934, Sel
leck, then business manager .of
tlie athletic department, invited IS
city bands to participate. In 1U3H,
Leiitz, conductor .of the university
band, . restricted attendance to
high school bands, and the first
true Band Day in the United
States was begun.
Through the years, not one Band
Day has been cancelled; although
in 1838, the first Band Day found
the bands marching on new fallen
snow.
Since 'World War H, attendance
has increased from 30 bands to the
present i86. Because the popu
larity of Band Day, Nehraka
bonds are mow alluwed io appear
only junce tfvery three years.

large number of independent girls
may work in the organixatk.
Girls can become members of
Tassels if they want, Dave Moss
man, Business Administration rep
resentative, said.
Connie Berry, CCRC representa
tive, said "girls dont realize" that
membership in Tassels entitles
them to be eligible for Homecom
ing Queen.
Marvin Breslow, senior member,
said the motion simply asks that
the Council look into the matter,
as is their right.
Don Beck, Council vice-president,
said that the matter should be re
ferred to the judiciary committee,
and that Friday's election should
go on as planned. This was ap
proved. The Council derives its right to
investigate the constitutions of oth- i
er groups from its own constitu-
tkm, which enables tbe Council to'
call in any student constitution for j
review. at any time. j
Small Number
Of Candidates
Due To Chance
The small number of junior Tas
sels, 18, is merely a matter of
chance, according to a Tassel
representative.
The small number cf juniors
from which the Homecoming Cjueen
finalists are selected had prompted
discussion of a revision of tbe
procedure in the Council meeting
Wednesday.
The five finalists are selected
by the members of Tassels on
the genera basis of service to the
organization. Scholarship, person
ality, pep and spirit are other fac
tors taken into (consideration.
Last year there were approE
mately 20 junior Tassels, and there
are expected to be more next year
than the present number, accord-;
ing to Mary Sue Herbek, Tassel
secretary.
