sener, Bill Schenck, Jack Selzer
and Betty Aasen.
Four of the six new members
who gave their opinions voted for
Ball alone. Two others mentioned

Schenck and Jack Selzer.

as Council Prexy
"After observing the work of all
council members since last fall I
believe that Dale Ball is not only
the "most outstanding members
but most deserving of the office
of president. I believe that Dale
Ball is the real leader for the
Council."
Bill Ballew, old council member:
"I have not yet formed an opin
ion. Jo Fankhauser, old council mem
ber: "After looking at early reports
of the poll I feel that I should
give the matter more careful con
sideration. I do believe that the
president should be a man."
Jo Fankhauser ,old council mem
ber: "What did Ackerman say? No
comment."
Good Work.
Frank Loeffel, old council
member:
"I feel that all the holdover
members have done good work
for the Council. Dick Schleuse
ner has probably done more in
truly representing his college on
the council. I feel that Schleuse
ner, Dale Ball, Bill Schenk are
deserving of offices and that Betty
Aasen, too, has done a fine job."
Ros Howard, new council mem
ber: "My personal opinion is that
Dale Ball is the council member
most qualified to hold the posi
tion of President. I do not feel,
however, that I am completely
qualified to judge and will con
sult others before I vote."
Chuck Thoene, new council mem
ber: "I'm going to the meeting with
an open mind."
John Soennichsen, old council
member:
"Schenk and Ball."
Jan Stratton, new member:
"As much as I know about it,
I feel that Dale Ball is the most
Ag Election
Figures Told
By Exec Board
Election returns for the Ag
campus section of last week's all
campus election were released
Tuesday by Duane Munter, past
chairman of the Ag Exec, board.
Irwin L. Hathaway and C. E.
Rosenquist, faculty advisors for
the board, explained that they
were acting on precedent In deny
ing publication of the Ag elec
tion figures. They agreed that
the decision should have rested
with the board but since there
was no time for a meeting be
fore press time ,it was necessary
to act as they had in the past.
"The board recognizes the right
of the student body to know the
election results and has tabulated
a complete list of returns includ
ing write-in candidates," Munter
stated.
Election returns are as follows:

lot for the University."
Pat Black, new member:
"Dale Ball, f admire his initia
tive to do new things for the im
provement of the campus. He
shows fine leadership, and has
done a good job on the Student
Council."
Arlis Patterson, old member:
"Without a doubt, Dale Ball. I
would support Joan Farrar for
secretary."
Stan Johnson, old member:
"The faction big shots are do
ing themselves more harm than
good and are degrading the fra
ternity system by pushing their
professed choice for the presi
dency. I think Dale "Ball is defi
nitely the man for the job."
Henry Schleuter, old member: "
"Bill Schenk gets along and is
on better terms with Council
members. He seems to inspire
confidence. I don't know what to
say for I feel that my ideas are
more radical than those of most
of the Council. Dale Ball has done
a wonderful job. A woman is the
logical choice for secretary or
treasurer- The Council has been
inhibited by lack of cooperation
with the Administration and by
lack of funds."
Dick Srb, new council member:
"No opinion."
Sam Warren, old council member:
"Gf the four men holdovers,
there are only two whose capa
bilities and contributions during
this year would possibly qualify
them for the Council presidency.
Any other choice could not be
justified. Those two are Dale Ball
and Dick Schleusner." (Warren
said he assumed the president
would be a man, although women
holdovers are eligible.)
Barbara Speer, holdover:
"I think Dale Ball without a
doubt. He has been the most

the best in the history of Engineers' open house. The two men who
are pictured reminding students of coming events are Harlan Echten
kamp and Rolland Gissler, both students of the mechanical engineer
ing department. The theme for Engineers' Week "Today's Dream-
Tomorrow's Reality" becomes significant after hearing about the
new contraptions being devised by determined engineers.

ercises was Edward F. Carter, as
sociate judge of the Nebraska Su
preme Court. He said that Edu
cation, America's long range de
fense against foreign ideologies,
must do a better job and it is up to
the general citizenship to see that
it gets the chance.
"Unless the people of this
country are trained to recognize
and diagnose the ills that period
ically assail democratic govern
ment," Carter declared, "we shall
remain open to those Infectious
ideologies which have destroyed
most of the governments of liberty-loving
peoples."
The threat that communism
makes today, Carter went on, is no
more than the old battle of state
absolutism against individual lib
erty. We must educate every student
In high school and college to ob
tain an understanding of the
principles of free government, he
said.
"Above all," Carter concluded,
"the graduates of our schools and
colleges must come forth with a
zealous desire to sustain and
maintain a sound government for
a free people."
Names of the students in the
upper ten per cent of their class
in their college were read off dur
ing the ceremony.
