Over 500 students, questioned on all parts of the campus, almost unanimously answered the ques tion, "Are you in favor of the University of Nebraska entering the All-American Freshman Beauty Contest?" in the affirm ative. As is the case v in every "Ne braskan" poll, more than a few students offered comments. And, as usual, these opinions ranged from the serious to the ridicu lous.

The work of the Conservation and Survey division Involves soil survey and analysis, community water supply, pump irrigation surveys and groundwater survey and analysis. The university hospital provides surgical and medical care for Ne braska's indigent and psychiatric care. "This negative policy has not been followed through the years, so why start it now?" A junior male reasoned, "Hav ing visited many campuses throughout the country, I've been able to judge the relative merits of extra-curricular activities. The U. of N. is without a doubt the most restrictive and unco-oper ative of them all. One serious-faced freshman lad answered, "Probably what we need is a little publicity on the campus. Naturally, facetiousness wasn't forgotten as a good segment of those polled attempted wittic isms. A CYNICAL graduate student: "My opinion is entirely unprint able." A wide-eyed freshman girl: "My chance is gone!" Another female frosh: "This proves Lincoln is 'The Boston of the Bible Belt."

He has invited all students who can attend the rally to join the pep organizations in a show of enthusiasm. Illegal ID Use Creates Quest For New Form Illegal transfer of student ac tivity tickets has led to the for mation of a faculty-student com mittee to find a new student iden tification card for use next fall. Bob Wallace, Student Council member, was appointed by Coun cil President Dale Ball several weeks ago to investigate means of curbing transfer or resale of tickets. WALLACE organized a meeting of administrative personnel of the University directly concerned with the ID card problem. Those present included: A. J. Lewan dowski, Dr. Samuel Fuenning, Duane Lake, John Selleck, Dr. Lundy, librarian; Miss Wills, Reg istrar's secretary; Mr. Hoffman, photographer, and Wallace. They discussed "a more effi cient means of student identifica tion," dealing especially with the illegal transfer or resale of tick ets, the misuse of University stu dent facilities, and valid identifi cation for miscellaneous use. THE COMMITTEE is currently investigating identification proce dures in other schools, as well as the cost of a machine to print ID cards with student pictures on them. They will consider the com parative value of the new card and its cost. The possibility of a four-year ID card is also being considered. The feature department's poll for this week, "Are you in xfavor of the University of Nebraska entering: the All American Freshman woman's beauty contest?" Yes, 463 or 92 percent. No. 15 or 3.3 percent. No opinion, 23 or 4.7 percent. A sophomore skeptic: "It's all right, but I'm still hunting for a beautiful freshman girl."

Norman Leger hit it on the head in his editorial! And on this same line: "If the Cooper Foundation can give us money, why can't we do a little of something to help them." One independent student agreed on the condition "the contest is not the product of the politicians." All in all, the affirmative an swers agreed on certain basic points. Nearly all thought that the competition would do the cam pus good and would raise the University nationally and locally. A nominal number labeled the Administration ruling as "reac tionary."

One junior man claimed: "It is sponsored mainly for money making purposes." A freshman female maintained: "I don't believe in beauty con tests. They're silly!
