What's Happening?
By Dick Stuckey
There has been some
talk about the football
team.
Year by year the stu
dent body is coming to
realize more and more its
part in the success of the
football season. The
cheering section is no
longer a mere cheering
section. The psychological
importance of a cheer
not only in volume and
quality, but in content
is rapidly becoming the
all-important factor in col
lege football. Consequent
ly, participation is of ut
, most.
"And when the one
great scorer (Ron Gould)
Comes to mark against
your name
It matters not whether
we won or lost,
But whether you got
them cards out of order
or what."
With this all in mind,
here presented is the new
approach to gridiron suc
cess. It is directed at the
and play your part in the
next home game and vic
tory so that no man may
say, "Where were you
when the fans hit the
stands."
We've had some of this
Intellectual influence al
ready. You heard it last
week:
"Repel them, Repel
them,
Make them relinquish
the ball!"
The advocates of this
educational strain in
school spirit are pushing
for PBK cheerleaders,
Merit Scholar card sec
tion personnel, Aristotle
as student manager, and
Walter Wright, coach.
However, we cannot sit
content until the reform
is complete. We gotta
move out now. We must
sprite our sagging college
choralae. Do pay atten
tion. You are familiar with
the old yell, "Gimme an
N!", etc. Here you have
it with the intellectual
strain:
The cheerleader: "Ev
eryone, oh everyone, if to
moved, resound with the
letter N, as In 'nyctalopy,
stressing this great con
sonant terribly!"
The stands: "N-nuh!"
And he: Now again,
only substituting for the
N, the letter E, which
once stood for the grace
of ancient Eoleramus,
chieftain of the temple of
Fenameraus, leader of
the people of Elwood,
I d a h o and so on
throughout the spelling of
the word "Nebraska,"
ancient Indian "Nu-brask
ohwoho-kaa," meaning In

Yell number two, for
merly: Beatem, Butim,
That's ear cry!
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!
Will wc get it, Well we
guess!
Nebraska, N e b r a t
ka, Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
This yell will remain
basically unchanged ex
cept for the substitution
of a subtle pause for "Ne
braska, Nebraska" and
the addition of six more
yes's.
The well known "Let's-Go-North!"
has also re
ceived the revamp:

apiritedly) "As our an

let us utilize the same

but always remembering

cha." Yell number four, for
merly: "We've got the coach,
we've got the team,
We've got the pep,
we've got the steam
Coach, team, pep,
steam,
Hot Dawg!"
Now becomes:
"We've got the coach,
we've got the team,
We've got the pep,
we've got the steam,
We've got the olive."
Or:
"We've got the coach,
we've got the team,
We've got the cops,
we've got the dean,
. Put the booze under
your coat!"
And the old favorite re
mained: "Skishkabob, Diddle
dob, Yah-Bah-Pah-Poo-Poo !
Rahchachuk, Rahcha
chuk, Huzzah, Huzzah, Huz
zah U!
Grab a Rat, Throw a
Cat, Run around the
barn!
Jump in and out, cure
your gout
And have a whole sec
tion to yourself."
In the particularly tense
minutes of the game, the
team can be spurred on
to tremendous play with
the use of this old spirit
builder:
"Jump that man by
surprise,
Pull his fingers, gouge
his eyes!
Grab his ear and rip it
raw,
Break his neck and
break his jaw
Kick his ribcage, bust
his back,
Bend his forearm, make
it crack!
Hit his teeth and split
his nose,
Break his legs and bite
his toes!
Git him down there,
make'im stay
Fite team fite and earn
your pay!"
You've all heard this
one from prep days:
"Chase'em around the
pumphouse,
Knock'em down the
well,
We can beat old Ivy
High,
All to-Rickety, Rack
ety, Russ!
We're not allowed to
cuss,
But nevertheless, you
must confess,
There's nothing the
matter with us."
Now that's a nice yell.
There's no real need to
Improve it for our use
Saturdays, except that
plenty of teams who had
nothing the matter with
them have had their
pants beat off. We must
be more dynamic:
"Chase'em around the
pumphouse,
Knock'em down the pit,
We can beat old K-State,
All uh we can beat
old Pitt too.
Rickety, Rackety, Russ,
We aren't allowed to

SPARTACUS, a Univer-sal-International
release
of a B y r n a Production
starring Kirk Douglas,
Laurence Olivier, Jean
Simmons, Charles Laugh
ton, Peter Ustinov, John
Gavin and Tony Curtis.
In release for a y e a r,
"Spartacus" arrives in
Lincoln with tremendous
Impact. This filmzation of
Howard Fast's vivid novel
was first viewed in its
roadshow engagement in
Omaha. The plot centers
around the great slave
revolt lead by the Thra
clan slave Spartacus
against the pagan Roman
Empire in 73 B.C., known
historically as the Servile
War or the Gladiators'
War.
The desire for freedom
that motivates Spartacus
can be likened to areas of
the modern world that
struggle under Communist
tyranny, such as Berlin
and Hungary. "Sparta
cus" is truly universal in
theme, presented with
both realism and convic
tion. As is the entire film,
every sequence is excel
lent. Standout sequences
are: the gladitorial d"ta e 1
to the death between a
Negro, armed with titron
and net, and Spartacus,
armed with a stunted
Thracian sword, for the
enjoyment of Roman no
bles; the clash between
the slave army lead by
Spartacus and the Roman
army lead by Crassus; the
crucifixion of captured
slaves on wooden crosses
along the Appian Way;
etc., etc., etc.
Kirk Douglas, in the pi
votal role of Spartacus,
brings great understand
ing to the role. Laurence
Olivier is excellent as
Crassus, leader of the
Roman troops and rival of
Spartacus. Jean Simmons
portrays Varinia, the slave
woman Spartacus loves,
with great sincerity, again
proving she's one of our
most underrated ac
tresses. Charles Laugbton is su
perbly wily and sophisti
cated as Gracchus, a Re
publican senator who trys
to outwit Crassus. Peter
Ustinov, in his Academy
Award winning 'Best Sup
porting Actor' perform
ance, is completely en
gagin as Batistus, a co
niving, parasitic, gladiator
ring operator. John Gavin
is adequate as a young

novel) and Tony Curtis

and Things
seems miscast in the

runs away to join the
slave troops of Spartacus.

NU Football
Revisited
Dear Editor:
While driving down to
school to start my third
year of intellectual im
provement, thoughts of
the future football season
subconsciously enticed me
to hum strains of "Every
thing's Coming Up
Roses," and "This Could
Be the Start of Something
Big."
Now, not more than
three weeks later, consci
ously I find myself sing
ing loudly, "I've Got That
Old Feeling" and "Here
We Go Again." Another
song becoming increasing
ly popular at Nebraska is
"Tell Me Why?"
This brings up an inter
esting point . . . Why?
Why did an end that
caught five passes the pre
vious week see limited ac
tion Saturday? Why did
Willie Ross sit the bench
ninety percent of last Sat
urday's game, after his
impressive showing the
week before? Why does
Thunder Thornton contin
ue to run the same set of
plays as when he was full
back? Why was Dennis
Claridge recruited all the
way from Minnesota; it
certainly couldn't have
been to run hand-offs and
quarterback sneaks; ob

viously, any quarterback
could achieve this trying
task.
It's a great puzzle to
this fan why Nebraska
doesn't have a first team
that has played enough to
gether to gain the confi
dence and smoothness that
is expected of the start
ing squad. What degree of
spirit can be expected
from players that want to
play football and are con
stantly bucking their
heads against a brick
wall, because the opposing
team knows exactly what
the Nebraska team is go
ing to do the majority of
of the afternoon?
The previous questions
have been asked by a fan
who had expected to see
exciting football this year,
only to cqme to the reali
zation that as usual the
action would be primar
ily centered at the line of
scrimmage, where a mass
of flesh would be grovel
ing in a big pile fighting
each other for a yard or
two. This of course, is
when Nebraska has the
ball.
The statement has been
made that Archie Cobb is
a great punter, and this
fan doesn't disagree, but
if some of the other play
ers were able to excel in
their speciality as much

Dear Mr. B.:
You may unfruffle your

new ways to "waste stu

that we are trying to

You were right the
