How Bad The following treatise is directed toward the Corn Cob who remarked to me that "everyone is yelling about how bad 'Huskie' is, but no one is offering any suggestions. . There are, no doubt, many NU students who are not in favor of the new Husker Football sym bol, 'Huskie the Husker.' Criticisms have ranged from changing the entire tradition of the school to merely getting rid of Huskie. For those people who desire to change the school's tradition and do away with the corn sym bolism or 'Husker Team altogether, may I suggest a transfer to CU, where you can follow a buffalo. Now I shall examine the main complaint of those people who want to do away with Huskie., Those who dislike 'Huskie' seem to base their opinion on this fact: " 'Huskie' looks like a clod; he makes NU look like a school full of clods. I don't want to be known as a clod." First of all, I will agree SCALPING, LENDING . . . Do Not Misuse Tickets Winning teams do wonders for a school. The students are spirited, the sceptics are amazed and the alumni are happy, which means the University is happy. But as in all good things there are al wcys a few -rotten "apples" to take ad vantage of it This is the case here at the University. With a winning team plus a Home coming atmosphere plus the tension and pressure under which this game between 1IU and NU comes the very lucrative opportunity to "scalp." This is the phrase which refers to the practice by many students including Jocks who sell their tickets to other students and people who do not have any for exorbitant prices. This is scalping. The going price for Saturday's game is around $25 per ticket Scalping is a very distastful practice and a criminal offense. It is also very fit- k . - y tZVL&TY&XXfKB TEAS CF PUBLICATION T&3&Mt C2-5CS1 exL 423, 4228, 4227 l&emher Anodatei CoQegiaie Pre , SsgoSsSw&U Press EepreseEtsfiye, -tkrzul Adverfisiag Senice, lacorperatel PuLHshei at: Boeza SI, Student Cuba, Iineola S, Nebraska.

Tickets are alwyas checked at the gate and 'Sat urday will be no exception; in fact, a closer check will be made to stop this scalping. This warning also applies to the more innocent (or so it is thought) practice of borrowing a fellow student's ticket and ID to get into the game or to get a friend in. This borrowing is just as dan gerous as scalping and can get both par ties into trouble. A student ticket is not transferable and is invalidated by misuse take a look at the printing on the ticket! If a persons is caught at the gate with im proper ticket and ID, he will be barred from the game and the owner of the ticket and ID will be called in by the University to explain with the result of the loss of his ticket ID and certain freedoms and rights guaranteed to other students who deserve them. In other words probation.

I will further agree that a big Nebras kan named 'Huskie' may be the answer. The question which I will dispute with the Corn Cobs is this: Is 'Huskie' really representative of a giant Nebraskan farmer? I hope not! Having trav eled across the entire state, I noticed no farmer who even resembled our 'Homer Hayshaker.' I feel in other words, that the idea is fine, but the de piction of this idea leaves a great deal to be desired. Should the Corn Cobs come up with a 'Huskie' who is somewhat better proportioned, dressed in clothes which do not ap pear to have been made, by a small group of girl scouts for a project, and possessing a head which resembles a human head (not covered with a hat which probably floated back from the Bay of Pigs invasion), they will prob ably easily be able to gain student support.

First off, everybody must go over and have their ID card punched with some fancy little de sign and vote for Home coming Queen. This is a rather involved process, supposedly some house voted last Monday '. . . what? This is how its done, by democratic pro cedure, a majority of the house decides for whom the entire house is sup posed to vote in the elec-" tion and then the mem bers go over and take part in an extremely dem ocratic process. In the meantime. Home coming displays are tak ing up a considera ble amount of time. Con trary to popular opinion, it is not the building of the display that takes time, or the planning of it it's the process of fig uring out some "under the budget" limitation for expenses. If the houses were to be reimbursed by the University for the money they spent, the In nocents might be getting i i NU Student Dies' "NU STUDENT DIES SATURDAY AFTER MIS HAP." We are so accustomed to reading accident statis tics that we often fail to remember that each is a person a very real person. At the risk of sounding excessively sentimental or sajing anything trite, I would take a minute to eulogize one of the people who made the front page the hard way. Donald Ohme, known to his friends as Don, died Saturday as the result of injuries suffered in an auto mobile accident near Greeley, Colorado. He was just a few miles from a dinner, with the family of a fraternity brother, a date later that evening, and a weekend of fun with the thousand other Nebraskans who "migrated" for the. Colorado-Nebraska football game. Don was with three fraternity brothers. They were not drinking; they were not exceeding the speed limit They were just driving, singing; and in a split second they were no longer on the road. Don was not the type of person who would let his friends carry on unnecessarily in mourning him. He was nearly always happy, and did not seem to have the cycles of moods which most of ns experience. He was everyone's friend not in being a backslapper, but in seeing some good in each individual and reflecting it in his manners, his tbooghtfulness, and even his way of asking "how are you doing?" which always seemed to be sincere. Doa was not a hell-raiser; but be mas fun, and be had fan. He could enjoy anyone's company, and make anyone comfortable being with him. One could never get mad at Don Friday be was tossing a football with a fraternity brother in the hallway of the bouse and broke a bulb in the light fixture. When the housemother heard the noise and came into the hall, Don winked at her and said he just came downstairs to take the ball way from the guys mho were tossing ft where they shouldn't have been. Sbe just winked back and asked for the balL Do was not political, and he was not a "bondo." Perhaps the quality of his character was to be ex plained by the fact that in a sense be was not out standing. He worked hard be maintained almost a 7 average and on occasion be played hard. But he was not excessive in anything be did; and in the balance be displayed there was a depth in character, in feeling, and in performance. If there is such a thing as the red-blooded American bey, I'm sure Don fits. He was typical in many ways, yet in being so be was not at all mediocre. He was just . . . well, Don. Fellows in a fraternity win not usually snow much feeling for each other it just isn't done. Bat at Don's funeral men who are not at all emotional wept un ashamedly. Since Saturday many have expressed a concern for preserving his name. This will be done by naming a long range project of establishing a scholar ship fund for faim. Bat the best way to serve Don's memory is not to mourn him, or to think of a thou sand and one "ifs" which might have changed the weekend. It is to be thankful the others survived, and to help them. It is to live life as he did ith purpose; working, studying, playing giving a lot to life, and taking much from it This is what be would have expected from his friends.

The real crisis of the week is yet to come. If a prediction might b e made by some error the Homecoming Queen will not be 'crowned and this is how this grave calamity will come about. You see, here at the University, we have this gargantuan student who goes by the cute n i c k name of Huskie the Husk er, who is obviously the result of some sort of delirium tremens in t h e higher echelon. Anyhow, this overalled monster is probably going to be there at the rally. Since he looks like such a clod, he may be one, and as suming that he is, he will probably swing around those arms, the longest OW "IT Street reach since Sonny Listen, and dash that beautiful new crown to the ground and render it a tangled heap of tinfoil and pow der, by tromping on it with his "I'm a farmer and proud of it" shoes. . Who is gofcg to chal lenge him? Would anyone be intrepid enough to sug gest that he could do any wrong? No Sir. Consequently there are two plans of action. The first is hike over to Stu dent Affairs and run an ' eligibility check on t h e darlin', and see if he is taking twelve hours and if he has the required average. If he doesn't, he could be placed on t h e list of delinquent organi zations and appear before the Student Council judi cial committee. Otherwise, the only thing to do is hang him in effigy. There is one serious problem . . . where, besides from the top of the Empire State Building, are we going to find a long enough pole to string him up? Sugges tions please!
