Selection Season-
Choice of
Consistent
Some places they put themselves into
the running. On other campuses, mens' or
ganizations sponsor them.
Here at Nebraska, junior Tassels be
come candidates
The only consistent tiling about Home
coming Queen selection across the nation's
campuses to that there is a queen.
Whoops . . . even that isn't true. The
University of San Francisco isn't hating a
homecoming this year.
"It just isn't feasible," said the presi
dent of the student governing body. r .
Variety Is Popular
But on most other campuses, this is the
season of the big selection. Variety is the
keynote of the selection processes as
panels of judges compete with aH-campus
elections as the most popular mode of
queen chosing.
The Daily Tar Heel of North Carolina
University reports that the queen to chosen
from a field of 38 candidates. Men's dorms
and fraternities submit the candidates'
names. The 10-member court to then chos
en by five judges, one of whom to the wife
of the University president
The Queens Review is a distinctive fea
ture of the University of Detroit method of
selection. Candidates are sponsored by
fraternities and other men's organizations.
These candidates art then presented to
Displays of India
ii nWi i r i in m m
craft from India.
These were the highlights of
the first function to be held
by the Indian foreign students
on this campus.
The event was held Satur
day night About 80 persons
attended the celebration, only
about 20 of whom were from
India. Among the guests were
other foreign students, a jus
tice of the State Supreme
Court, University students
and instructors and former
missionaries to India.
Holiday Celebration
The function was in celebra
tion of Divali and Dasare,
which are celebrated about 18
days apart at about this time
of the year in India. Mr. Rao
explained the holidays to the
guests. Desera lasts about
four days and Divali 10 or 15.
Mr. Rao said that Divali is
symbolic of four aspects of
God: generous nature, bounti
ful goodness, benevolence and
protection and that Dasare is
a worship of God the power
ful and God the just.
Many of the celebrations of
Indian holidays are similar to
ours. There are fireworks,
new clothes, and visiting rela
tives. One beantiful symbol
was a dish of lighted and float
ing red cacdles.
Although the holidays were
a reason for holding the gath
ering, there was a second rea
son behind the reason accord-'
ing to N. K. Dutta, who first
thought of holding the func
tion. Mr. Dutta said that when he
came to the University last;
June, he met a few students!
from India, but not many. He
planned how he might get
them all together. When more
students came from India this
falL they held a meeting to
plan the event They felt that
it would be a good idea to in
vite guests so that they might
understand more about the
people of India.
Mr. Dutta expressed hopes

were to be handed in to tho
PanheUenic office by noon to
day. Criticism of the event had
been brought to the attentiou
of PanheUenic. During the in
dependent solicitation drive,
teams of sorority girls con
tacted an independent stu
dents living in Lincoln at their
homes to solicit money.
Sorority girls said they felt
they had been doing more
than their share of work for
AUF, the only campus organi
zation allowed to solicit stu
dent funds for charities.
Give Twice
The auction, an annual af
fair at which fraternity and
sorority pledge classes were
"sold" to one another to raise
money for AUF, drew fire be
cause sororities reportedly
felt they were being forced to
give to AUF twice, through
their house and through rais
ing money to participate la
the auction.
Sororities also have com
plained that the auction dis
criminated against some
pledge classes because the
classes were "sold" for dif
ferent prices.
In a special meeting last
Thursday, sorority presidents
voted 14-1 in a straw vote to
do away with both the auc
tion and solicitation drive.
Also discussed at the Thurs
day meeting was the possibil
ity of giving to AUF through
one panheUenic donation.
However, no further action on
this form of aid to AUF was
taken.
Delay Asked
John Glynn, president of
AUF, asked the Panhenenic
delegates to delay the ac
tion tin next year.
Admitting that he felt that
some of the criticism was
just Glynn stated that Pan
henenic had brought oat
many changes that should be
made.
"But these two events raise
about $4,000 for charity. The
drive starts in two weeks; the
auction wfll be held to five.
With this short notice well
have no way to take cart of
this deficit."
Glynn said that if the events
were continued as planned
this year, a new plan to raise
money would be made for next
year and submitted to Pan
heGenic for approval
Fowles
At the PanheUenic meeting
Monday, Franklin Fowles, as
sistant dean of Student Af
fairs, told the delegates that
the houses and the adminis
tration were disturbed about
the high number of downslips
issued this fan.
Fowles described the
many campus groups and
special classes set up to pro
mote and remedy the scholar
ship situation.
These include the J a n i o r
Division, the counseling serv
ice, a study skins course and
a remedial reading program.
