THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
WeHnescfay, OcfoHer IV 1947
If
Today is our own little if-ing day. We're joining: the
ranks of the self-styled Sunday morning; T specialists and
their colleague the drugstore cowboy. In other words we're
going out on the proverbial limb with our own inflated two
cents worth.
We'll begin by reiterating one of the 'ifs' that is mak
Ing the rounds far more rapidly than the others. IF Cletus
Fisher and Ralph Damkroger could have avoided colliding
with the turf after snatching their respective pay dirt passes
uiey migni nave lauiea mat long awaited six points, sound
reasoning but why not go even further and say . . .
IF they could have tucked the ball under one arm and
walked on the other hand ... six points anyway. It's a
hard trick to develop but we know they'll work hard to per
fect it just for dear oi' John Q. who really found the going
tough against Indiana.
So it's easy to throw the 'ifs' around and hurl charges
against players and coaches, but take a look in the stadium
mirror . . . how did you stack up as a sideline player? This
writer included ... the student body at U of N is infamous
as a damn poor sideline supporter.
IF the student body would learn the yells, the songs,
and, in general get behind the team, the latter's job might
be easier.
The student body and every Cornhusker fan Is the true
champion-maker. Supporting a winner is easy but sup
porting a team that has lost is the real test tube of even
tual success. IF you back your team you'll have a winner
regardless of the scoreboard ... IF not, then learn the
Gopher yells, hold a Sunday morning critique for them,
because the Cornhuskers will be better off by themselves.
IF you want to be part of the team show it or shut up
and let the real players alone!

Union Head, Duane Lake,
Has Big Plans for Future
BY SAM WARREN.
A man of theory and plans, with
practical experience behind his
ideas, that's Duane Lake, new di
rector of the Union. His theory?
That the ideal student union
should offer something for every
one on campus. His plans? To put
the new student "sponsored sys
tem" of Union on its feet, and one
day say in 1952 when the pres
ent bond issue is retired to un-
t :
cover behind his book case the
blue prints for a new wing to the
Union building.
To recount the newcomer'
union experience, however, takes
a little more time. It was in 1937
as a student at the University of
Minnesota that Lake first became
acquainted with typical union ac
tivities. Under the system of stu
dent committees (which goes in
to effect here this year) Lake

worked at Minnesota on such
union projects as an all-university
stag parties, band and or
chestra concerts, student-faculty
programs, and a student talent bu
reau.
Later he chaired committees on
union social affairs and outdoor
activities. He served two years as
an elected member of the Memo
rial Union's board of governors.
In fact, he confided in an in
terview yesterday, "I majored in
activities.
These activities were not con
fined to his union projects, either,

took part in five minor sports, and
was a member of boxing, swim
ming, hockey, golf and touchball
teams. He had his fingers in
bowling and billiards, too. "Wom
en," he mentioned incidentally,
"I think are more adaptable to
billiards than men, mainly be
cause they have more patience."
Confirming the opinion UN stu
dents have held for a long time
that their union is one of the na
tions' finest, Lake pointed out that
"the one thing we're short on
here is adequate recreational fa
cilities." Apparently added hous
ing space alone can remedy that.
In the meantime, he hopes to
increase other facilities, for exam
ple, along the handcraft line. "In
unions all ovr the country, the
number one need is for art and
handcraft workshops," he said.
"Art meets a, definite need, en
tirely different from any other
that the Union offers."
During the last two summers,
the Union has opened a hand
craft shop in a room used for
other purposes in the regular
term. This year, tho, plans are
underway for such a room. "Hand
work whether it's water color or
painting or wood carving offers
an outlet not otherwise provided

Dakota State College where he
was the college s first Union di
rector. Lake had one reaction to
UN students. "There's a certain
indefinable spirit here that you
feel right away an attitude of in
terest, of getting something done.
A number of students already
have already come into the office
to get the Union's cooperation on
one thing or another, and always
it's "Let's get the show on the
road!"
