In the midst of more spirit and enthusiasm than has been shown by University of Nebraska students in years, the first football game of the season was played last Saturday. Enthusiasm for the game was not dimmed by. the poor seating arrangement, but the situation remains the same. Students are still dissatisfied and resentful of the way some of them have been pushed to the end zones and bleachers in favor of the general public. Now, we all realize that the damage is done for this season and no satisfactory remedy can be realized this year. However, the situation probably would never have arisen if students had been treated fairly. t It is true that more student activity tickets were pur chased this year than in previous years, and therefore not enough student seats were set aside this year. That is understandable. The resentment was caused by the fact that the general public was allowed to buy tickets in the middle section on the East side before students were as signed seats. The mistake made in not setting aside enough student tickets is excusable since previous years' sales did not indicate that so many students would buy tickets. But not giving students first chance at the choice seats is un excusable. The seating problem cannot be solved this season be cause the tickets are already sold out, but it can be remedied next year and plans should be' made immediately. The student section next year should start at the 50 yard line and spread north and south from that point. In stead of putting students in the end zones, the public sale's tickets should be moved from the 50-yard line spots and put on each side of the student section in the end zones- if necessary. Perhaps not as many public tickets would be purchased if this were done and perhaps not as much money would come from the games, but after all, the football games should be first for the students and second for other purposes!

(Ballroomi Q)ancmg j instruction 1 Saying J By Pat Nordin A warning to all unsuspecting coeds! Twelve desperate maraud ers are stalking the campus. They call themselves the "Derby" and have accumulated a pot of $2 apiece to be won by those who succeed in their underhanded in tent. Each of these scoundrels is assigned to a different house and must needs acquire a steady girl by Homecoming. Qualifications he must have no relatives in said house and must never have dated the gfrl before. One other stipu lationthe steady deal must last at least four days including a week-end. Beware! Picnicing at Penn Woods Sat urday night proved especially in teresting to Tex "Heels Beals" Gardner who was all alone and dateless. Following a lengthy survey of the happy picnickers, "Heels" himself became entertain ing through his life-like imita tions entitled "The Love-sick Moose," or "The Flustrated Seal." Remember the date. Saturday at 6:20 p. m., marked the be ginning of a steady arrange ment between Gene "I Won" Deter and Jackie "I've burned my Bridges" Wightman. Two Taus, one Sigma Chi and one unidentified Kappa Sis are numbered among the casualties. Rand, "I Don't Even Care" Ew ing is now pursuing MB prexy Joan Farrar. However, he is prac ticing a powerful rendition of "Hanna" in preparation for a lengthy siege. What is happening to our staid and stolid faculty? A certain Poly Sci instructor atonished his class Monday when he hinted that co eds might be forgiven cribbing if they use the "notes-inserted-in-mesh-hose" technique. Then there was the Spanish in structor who ran across the room with a girl student in his arms yelling, "Llevar, llevar." Let's hope he was illustrating. Even the philosophy department is cracking up, according to Marie Harris. Her kindly prof asked her to drop on his desk after class and classmates howled when she offered her phone number. "Get In there and pitch," has berome the watch -word of the Farm House boys. As a friendly gesture to new dean, W. V. Lambert, the fellas invited daughters Ann, age 16, and Marilyn, age 22, for dinner Sunday. The girls may be un aware of the fact that the last dean's daughter married a Farm House lad, but Karl Quisen berry and Johnny Sabs want to let them in on the secret. "Statistics show that four out of five Phi's prefer seniors to con vertibles," states Chic Chamber lain. This starting discovery was brought on by suave, debonair and bl.ise Norm Zahn. Scoop of the week is the new NU record set by Ken Horn bacher and Marilyn Stark. The pinning took place after only 13 days of concentrated endeavor. In a word, they clicked. MONDAY THURSDAY IO:3O-li:00 P.M. TONIGHT THE SONGS OF CONNIE HAINES riu THE MUSIC OF ray Mckinley hi f; ft Dear Editor: I am another one of the many students dissatisfied with the treat ment shown the students of the university in connection with the seating of students at football games. I am in agreement with most of the statements made in editorials and in "Letterip" in the last two days. There is one point with which I am not in agreement, however, and that concern students' wives. I love my wife very much and would like to sit with her at football games. As I see it there are two ways in which I can do this. The first is to buy two season tickets at the price for which they are sold to the general public; and the second way is to take advantage of the offer of the athletic department to sell to me an activities book for my wife at the same price I pay for my own. It may be news to the unmarried students, but we married students are not rolling in money. If I had to pay the standard price for two season tickets, neither of us would be able to go. Even $14.40 is a good-sized bite out of the monthly check. I ask the unmarried students to please not begrude my wife and me a chance to see a few football games. As for the charge in "Letterip" on September 23rd stating that students' wives got "priority" seats, I guess that a lot of we married veteran students were standing in the wrong line when priorities were given out. At least I don't think we had priorities for our seats in the bleachers. It is reassuring to learn that we in the bleachers will get a chance to sit in the East Stadium after the Iowa State game. I am just a little curious, though, as to where in the East Stadium we are going to sit. As has been brought out before, if all seats have been sold for the Iowa State game, what chance is there that there will be any seats available for the really big games? It looks to me as thought we bleacher orphans should have saved our money and invested it in television. Yours for a better organized system, Robert Anderson Dear Editor: The Interfraternity Council wishes to make known its protest to the athletic department about the assignment of football tickets. We are not one group that by chance drew poor scats. We are a group made up of many groups some drew poor seats, some drew good seats. We arc not protesting the poor seats. We are protesting the seating arrangement of all students. Saturday left much to be desired in spirit and organized cheering. With the team and coaches we have, and the spirit we had after Potsy Clark's arrival on the campus last spring, great things could be expected. Spirit has suffered because students have been crowded out to the ends of the stadium and the far flung ends of the balcony. We believe that at Nebraska, football should be played for the students and-thal the monetary angle should not be the guiding factor. In view of this, we advocate a plan to be put into effect next year, realizing that nothing can be done to straighten out this year's muddle. This plan is: Hold from ten to eleven thousand seats squarely . in the center of the east stadium for students, student wives, faculty, faculty wives, N-club men, and football players. Set a deadline to end' students ticket sales. After this deadline start sale to the general public for any of the 10 to 11 thousand scats not sold to students. This may mean that 500 seats will be empty the opening game, but IF the game is played for the students and not on the commercial angle, 10,500 students will be in a better mood to support the team and will also be in seats we think they justly deserve. Sincerely, Walt Dorothy. President, Interfraternity Council. MR. HARLAN ADAMS of the speech and healing laboratories tests a new students for defective hearing during registration.

I dragged a few "unaware"'- lreshmen over to the Union to buy me a coke, with numerous warnings and dire threats from my ninety-eight pound roomate, in repayment of great favor of showing them to the registration line. We spent the first fifteen min utes in line looking at the six foot spread of shoulders belong ing io the football players who got there fiist, and after several SOS's had been sent out, finally did a Ty Cobb slide into a front booth just ahead of the whole gol darned Beta Buckor too fraternity.
