Election Candidates
Give Policies, Platforms
Editor's Note: In order that the student body
may have a wider knowledge of the qualifications
of the positions in various activities and organiza
tions for which it will elect representatives in
Thursday's elections, the Daily Nebraskan is print
ing an outline of the policies and platforms of
persons filing for senior-at-large positions and
membership on the Publications Board. Due to the
large number of juniors filing from separate col
leges, it is impossible to print data from all the
candidates, therefore those positions which are
most vital in student activities in general were se
lected for publication.
A number of candidates have been omitted
through inability to establish contact, or their
failure to cooperate in returning their written state
ments to the Daily Nebraskan office.

'Graduates Good Index of University'
Says Gustavson at Grad Club Meeting
"Nothing is a better index of
what a university accomplishes
than what its graduate students
do."
So spoke Chancellor Reuben
Gustavson to the Graduate club
last night at the Student Union.
The chancellor discussed the grad
uate school and then went on to
explain and relate the work of
UNESCO to the graduate school.
Speaking of the fundamental
differences of the graduate school
the chancellor explained that in
the undergraduate school "some
are seeking wives, some are seek
ing husbands, some are seeking
social prestige." But in the grad
uate department students have
one great common interest "a
desire to learn, a desire to add to
the sum total of human know
ledge."
Turning to the subject of
UNESCO, the speaker stated that
its function is "to do the great
educational job which is necessary
if we are to develop any type of
world government."
He compared the present state
of world affairs to the condition
of pioneers when each house was
responsible for its own protection.
The chancellor explained further
that the pioneer turned the Job of
proection over to the sheriff, the
church, and the school-house.
"UNESCO's Job is similar to
that of the church and school
house." the phanfpllor aHHfvl
"UNESCO Is attempting to bring
about an educational force to
bring world understanding."
The speaker said that to do the
task, UNESCO must look to the
agencies which unite education,
culture, and science.
Elaborating on the work of
UNESCO he staicd, "Regardless
of what your interest in graduate
studies are, they will be reflected
in the work of UNESCO." -
Enumerating the various jobs
of UNESCO such as reconstruc
tion of war devastated areas, mass
education, and mass communica
tion, he asserted that when the
budget of UNESCO "approaches
military proportions" those inter
ested in knowledge will find many
jobs with UNESCO.
Kosmet Klub Secretary Fig Flagg reminded students yesterday
of the necessity for making reservations for the Kosmet Klub spring
show immediately.
Only two days remain for making reservations for the spring
review, "Get Your Kicks." Reserved seats may be obtained at the
Temple Theatre today and tomorrow between 12:30 and 6:00 p. m.
"Get Your Kicks" will run at the Temple April 15, 16 and 17 at
8 p. m.
Soloists Sing Greenwood Songs.
Music for the show was written by Ken Greenwood. The soloists
include Norm Walt, Paul Walchuck and Paul Harrington. Walt, as
the typical campus coed, Miss Burt, sings "That's What a Girl Gets
Out of College,' a song which promises much in the way of laughs.
Paul Walchuck, who portrays Eustace Steinbeck, the janitor, adds
to the show with a song entitled "Sex."
Paul Harrington, who plays the leading character, Billingham,
with Bob Baum, sings the title song, "Get Your Kicks," for the
chorus line in the grand finale.
Chorus Line Wears Barrels.
Herb Jackman sings the music for the "barrel" chorus. This line
includes Jack Campbell, Sandy Crawford, Bob Jensen, Jim Kenner
and Dave Miller who will do some fancy leg work clad in barrels.
Ray Biemond, Wendy Gauger, Ted Gunderson, Dick Mauch and
Tom Milliken don "grass" skirts for the rhumba line. The leg art in
this line is such to which only men's legs can do justice.
Take-offs which the cast is talking about are done by Norm
Locke who portrays Ernie Phisterson, the coach, and Dwight Byers
who plays the parj of Senator Bleary. Head waiter in the night club
scene is Bill Wiseman, co-author of the show.
