A Top-Notch Squad Jmimsw By George!
The Cornhuskers didn't provide an open
ing gann upset again this year, but Ne
braska fans saw a team with the ingredi
ents of a top-notch football squad. And
barring a couple of mistakes which the
players have assured us won't happen
again, Saturday's contest might have been
a different story.
Most evident improvement of this 1959
Husker team was the depth they dis
played. Instead of one first team, there
were two, with both teams able to move
the ball equally well offensively and hold
their own on defense.
The line was unsually tough and there
was new talent in the backfield. The
Cornhuskers showed one of their best
team efforts in recent years, with no one
player standing out far above the rest.
They never let up during the entire con
test. For seven members of the team it was
their first varsity football game and two
The Handy Man
Lest the tumult and the shouting of the
dedication of the new Union addition cause
it to be overlooked, we'd like to say a
good-bye to a really good friend of this
campus.
Bob Handy, who has accepted a job as
managing director of a student union in
Kansas City was due .to leave Sunday to
take over his new duties. His leave-taking
had been postponed in order that he could
be here to add his knowledge and enthusi
asm to the planning of the opening.
Many of the activities which now make
up the sphere of the Union can be direct
ly and indirectly attributed to Bob Handy.
He is a man of almost boundless enthusi
asm and seemingly inexhaustible energy.
Into the activities orogram of our Union
he breathed an infectious spirit of opti
mism and growth.
He will be missed, but it was the recog
nition of his fine work with the Union here v
that he was offered the managership of a
not-yet-completed student union in Kan
sas City. Nothing could be more up Bob's
line than the job of planning from scratch
the activities and functions of a top notch
student center.
more were wearing the Scarlet and Cream
for the first time as transfers.
The fact that none of the players suf
fered a serious injury is a good sign that
the team is in top physical condition.
All Big Eight teams with the exception
of one, were in action along with Nebras
ka this week. Only one victory was re
corded for the Conference in seven games,
and the lone win was by Iowa State, prob
ably the weakest team in the Conference,
over Drake, hardly a team to give much
competition. The rest of the opponents de
feating the Huskers' other six rivals were
not the competition that Texas was.
Colorado fell to Washington ; Penn State,
Nebraska's opening game victim last
year, dumped Missouri, the team consid
ered by the odds-makers to be Oklahoma's
best competition; Texas Christian defeated
Kansas; Wichita dumped Kansas State;
and Cincinnati blasted Oklahoma State.
Oregon State, the Huskers next home
game opponent fell to Southern Cali
fornia, while Indiana and Minnesota, next
week's opponent, were idle.
We realize that paper statistics don't
win games, but the type of desire, talent
and teamwork that stood out for Nebras
- ka in Saturday's game are fair warning
enough for Minnesota, Oregon State, In
diana and the six conference teams on the
schedule this season.
"Look out ahead, here come the Corn
huskers!" .
Your Name, Please
We told you once, we told you twice
now we'll tell you again.
The Daily Nebraskan staff is not an iso
lated group of 10 or 20 individuals running
around smugly holding the thought that
they can reflect alone all nuances of cam
pus opinion. Therefore we hold our Letterip
column open to any student, faculty mem
ber or other interested person.
However, we require that any individual
submitting a letter to the editor sign his
or her name. If the letter is not a person
al attack on an individual the letter prob
ably will be printed under an assumed
name.
But the letters must be signed or we
cannot print them.
Hence all but one of the letters received
this past week will never see print, since
only one carried a signature.

The day of miracles is not
yet past.
Upon opening to the soci
ety page of Lincoln's most
esteemed newspaper the
other day, what should my
wondering eyes behold but
a one Sandra Boyd.
Seems this young lady
has made the liiistake of
becoming engaged to a red
faced, cigar puffing, cigar
ette and beer bumming Phi
Beta Kappa and 1959 gradu
ate, to wit Robert Michael
Ireland.
The event was presaged
by some suspicious com
ments on the part of said
Mr. Ireland; namely: "I
think people who get mar
ried are out of their
minds."
Oh well, God bless them
every one.
And I haven't even got a
date for Saturday.

Spirit Nil, But People Great;
That's How 'Aces' Saw Us
By Sondra Whalen
Impressed by the people
but dismayed by the lack
of spirit was the attitude
of the Four Aces after their
weekend stay here.
"Everybody we've met
met has been just great,"
Dave Mahoney, the elder
member of the quartet,
said. "Usually you meet
some slrange ones every
where, but we've seen noth
ing but the best."
'In Stride'
Described as "down to
earth" by all who came in
contact with them, the
quartet took the campus in
stride by attending Satur
day's football game and
having dinner at a sorority.
Fred Diodate, who was
captain of the football team
when he was in the Ma
rines, was shocked at the
lack of schttol spirit.
"The kids don't even know
the yells," he said. "Ne
braska's got a good team,
and they're going to win
quite a few games. All they
need is a little student
backing."
The lead tenor said also
that he had been very im
pressed with Darrell Coo
per's playing.
"And a good thing too,"
he added. "I talked about
him the whole game before
I realized that his parents
and wife were sitting right
in front of us."
Praised Union
The group also had praise
for the new Student Union,
calling it the "best we've
seen."
All married and all Phil
adelphians, they spend an
average of 36 weeks on the
road.
"We try to get home at
least every other week,"
they explained. "The long
est we've evejy been gone
was three weeks."
None of the quartet plans
to spend the rest of their
lives in show business.
"And when we get out,
we'll get clear out," Fred
added. "It won't be open
ing a restaurant or a night
club."
As well as singing, the
group all play musical in-

Writers Wanted,
Apply Within
A column, a column, my
beermug for a column.
Ever feel that you'd like
to have the opporuntity to
write a column for a news
paper? Or ever have an opinion
just a little bit too long to
tuck into a letter to the edi
tor? Or have you ever noticed
something about the campus
to which everyone else
seems oblivious?
If so, you are the kind of
person for whom we are
locking. As an experiment in
tapping new writing talent,
the Daily Nebraskan will
run a new column this year,
"Be Our Guest." The writ
er of the column won't be
the same person any two
weeks in a row.
What we are looking for
are persons with fresh view
points who would like to
write, but don't feel that
they have the time or the
interest to tackle a regular
weekly column.
Any student who would
like to submit an article to
this column send or bring it
to the office of the Daily
Nebraskan in the basement
of the Student Union. Normal
length would be about two
typewritten, double-spaced
pages.
And no more anonymous
offerings, please.

some remarkably vitriolic
comments on the part of the
vice president of the Inter
fraternity Council concern
ing the 1FC Rush Book and
the number of men who
chose to undergo the strict
est test since knighthood
was abolished Rush Week.
The gentleman in ques
tlon is perturbed over the
ever declining number of
men who go through rush
which, all antagonisms
aside, was remarkably well
run this year.
. At the same time, the na
tional news wires have car
ried a story revealing that
west coast fraternity killed
a pledge in a hazing inci
dent. If the said vice president,
matter, is really wondering
why fewer boys go through
Rush Week every year,
they might examine that
juicy little scab of unfavor
able publicity.
And while their minds are
on the subject, they might
examine the conduct of
their own house during a
recent "Help Week."- They
might examine the conduct
of their house at Friday's
pep rally. They might con
sider the infractions for
which fraternities were
placed on probation last
yew.
They might compare
their house scholastic aver
age with that of the leading
sorority or Selleck house.
The point I am trying to
make is simply this. More
boys will start coming
through Rush Week when
the fraternities stop acting
like a group of mentally de
ficient sixth graders and'
start instilling a little ma
turity into their programs.
And I don't mean during
proctered study halls five
nights a week I mean all
the time.
The glory of the fraternity
system is that it is so
worthwhile. It is a positive
force for good, for leader
ship, for scholarship and for
the support, and sustenance
of the school.
And yet it is so imma
ture. It does such silly,
tragic things by going off
half cocked like some mad
scientist, who has the pow
er to create wonders and in
stead destroys himself.
So, there, Bob Blair, Is
the answer to your
question, and neither the
Rush Book nor Sigma Delta
Chi nor any one specific
person can be blaimed for
not healing a sore spot that
only the franternities, in
dividually, can heal.
