In Another Light
nounced as much in the past few years as the Kosmet
Klub. Faculty, student organizations and even the stu
dents themselves have considered this group of men in
active, "defunct," and worse yet, a detriment to the wel
fare of the student body.
And no doubt there has been justification for some of
this criticism. The Kosmet Klub members, themselves,
will admit that the real purpose of their organization, pro
viding entertainment for the University, has been neglected
or forgotten in past years. But much of this neglect has
not been due to the lackadaisical attitude that existed in
the minds of some past Kosmet Klub members, but from
serious setbacks at the hands of faculty and student or
ganizations. In J942 the Pan-Hellenic council established a rule,
Still in existence, prohibiting coed participation in the spring
shows. Soon afterward, the Kosmet Klub was forced to
discontinue its activities because of the war. Since its re
organization in 1945 its work has been hampered, not only
by problems of rehabilitation and the absence of coeds
in spring shows, but by strained relations with the faculty.
Restrictions by the faculty and students were felt and
observed in the quality of productions sponsored by the
Kosmet Klub.
The Kosmet Klub this year is interested in redeeming
their name as a reputable campus organization. But over
and above this interest, they feel the University needs en
tertainment on the musical comedy level. One of the first
proposals towards this end is a revoking of the Pan-Hellenic
rule barring coeds from the spring show. An explanation
of this plan appearing in the Letterip column today, de
serves the attention of the student body.
But we would like to caution those who will follow
and argue for or against the proposal, to think of one
factor: that the drive for coed participation is not a dispute
between Kosmet Klub and Pan-Hell, nor one against the
faculty. It is part of a long-range plan to give more and
better entertainment to the University entertainment that
has been noticeably lacking in the past.
We hope whoever is to decide the coed participation
question the Pan-Hellenic council, AWS, the sororities,
the faculty or the student body will not think in terms
of an apparent selfishness on the part of the present
Kosmet Klub. Rather the proposal should be considered
in the light of what it will do for the betterment of Uni
versity entertainment.

To the Editor:
Great praise should and has been given to Bill Glassford and
the team for their victory over Minnesota. Praise has also been
given to the three thousand fans who met the team at the airport
Yet little has been said about the many students and faithful Corn
husker fans who spend much time and money in their efforts to
cheer on the team -wherever they may be. Praise should also be
given to the loyal Cornhusker alumni who now reside in Minnesota.
Reports which are now coming back from the Twin Cities say that
the backing the students and alums gave the team was tremendous.
A Faithful CornKusker
To the Student Body and Faculty:
The Kosmet Klub of the University of Nebraska is an organi
zation having the apparent primary purpose of producing or sponsor
ing entertainment for the University and community of a theatrical
and musical nature. It also has a secondary purpose of stimulating
creative student activities at the University, so adding to the all
around development of the students.
It is our endeavor to present to the students and faculty a
varied program throughout the school year seldom witnessed in
the Middle West
It is the earnest desire of the Kosmet Klub to produce an
original musical comedy written and directed by University stu
dents with a mixed cast this spring. We know that this would
be a wonderful opportunity for students to develop and express
themselves; and to display their singing and dancing ability in a
full-length musical. This type of wholesome entertainment is a
must on every campus.
The Kosmet Klub was investigated by the Panhellenic Council
in 1942, and, as a result of this investigation, co-ed participation
in the Kosmet Klub spring musical has been prohibited. The report
of the sub-committee of the Panhellenic Council on which the action
In 1942 was based was obviously inaccurate, biased, and based on
unfair personal prejudice. Certainly, Kosmet Klub will attempt
to clarify these misunderstandings.
Kosmet Klub only requests t permission to have a few talented
co-eds for lead parts and choruses in the spring musical shows,
probably no more than ten.
And thus, Kosmet Klub is asking you, the student body, to
support us in the attempt to have co-ed participation in the spring
show. Slapstick and burlesque will be out and real comedy and
entertainment in If a mixed cast is granted. Is this too much
to ask in return for the entertainment, fun, and good name it would
bring to the students and to our University?
Most sincerely yours,
THE KOSMET CLUB

Hiya Folks, how ya be? Oh,
how trite can one get? Well, I
can try can't I?
The main thing that comes to
my attention at
at this time is
along the social
line. Rumors
are flying from
u : i
" who i
live at one Ag V
residence hall
that snm crirlo v -
from the other
Ag residence
hall relie v e d
the AGR pledg
es of some pa
jamas found Messersmlth
tied to the trees in front of the
AGR house. The same rumor
said something about the Chi
Omegas having something to do
with it too. I just don't know
how these rumors get started ex
cept that most people can keep
a secret but it is the people they
tell it to that can't.
Congratulations are due Miss
Bonnie Tank, a freshman on Ag
this year for showing an animal
in the Ak-Sar-Ben and winning
a ribbon on it Some say they
are the weaker sex!
Even though they were a little
old to cause any 'head-turning'
there were approximately 190
Home Extension farm women
from Fillmore County on Ag
campus last week. Hope .they
enjoyed their visit.
As you generally know, to look
like a 'gear' a student must carry
a 'gear book.' Roland Reynolds,
who is working for the Bureau
of Adio-Visual aids, was carry
ing one the other day that
sported 18 holes in the paper.
Even though it looked like R'iie
had turned "big-gear it was ust
the file of projectors and screens
that are available on Ag.
Ah yes, mustn't forget Ag
Union open house Friday night.
Along with free dancing to Riley
Smith and his orchestra, there
will be bingo in the recreation
room and various displays about
the organizations on Ag campus.
This will be an excellent oppor
tunity for freshmen as well as
upper-class students to get a good
idea of the possibilities of join
ing a club or organization.
The senior judging team goes
to the American Royal at Kansas
City this week for the annual
judging contest Best of luck to
Professor Alexander and his
boys. They have delivered be
fore, I'm sure they can do it
again.
Rodeo meeting tonight! Frank
Stewart hopes to get an earlier
start this year and really have a
show that will thrill the College
Days crowd that we hope to draw
to this event Due to the rain last
year, we were a little hampered,
but maybe the weather man
won't be so cantankerous this
year. By the way, we need the
female fans out too. After all
there are some aspects of this
rodeo that may need that fem
inine touch, so come on out
ladies, you're as welcome as the
men.
All 'Corn aside, this poem
comes to my mind:
Life's battles don't always go
To the strongest or fastest man.
But soon or late the man who
wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
If you think you'll lose, you've
lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's
all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed,
you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've go to be sure of yourself
Before you
prize.

All duded up in jeans, plaid
shirts and bright scarfs many
couples nomied down to the SAE
Roundup party Saturday night.
Atmosphere of the real West
was provided by decorations of
cow skulls, bridles, saddles, and
spurs. Bales of hay were scat
tered about the floor. Above the
entrance written in rope was
"SAE Ranch." Names of sorori
ties were also roped on the walls.
Colorful candles stuck in blocks
of wood decorated the tables. To
complete the motif, the combo
was fenced in a corral.
Dancing in cowboy boots were
Pat O'Brien and Jim Buchanan.
Other couples celebrating the
Western evening were Barb Nel
so nand Bill Dugan, Peg Marble
and Harris Carnaby, Connie Nye
and Don Sampson, Louise Wells
and Gus Lebsack, and Janis
Schmidtmann and Jerry Evan.
In spite of rain and cold, the
Delta Tau Delta's and dates jour
neyed to Havelock on a hayrack
ride Saturday night Coffee,
sandwiches and cookies were
served at the fraternity house
afterward. Don Woods and Ja
nelle Mohr, Mickey Dake and
Ray Stover, and Marg Line and
Han Peterson were among the
couples shivering in the hay.
A birthday feast was held at
the Alpha Phi house Sunday
noon. Jane Linn's mother sent
her a huge turkey, complete with
dressing, and a white cake with
pink flowers and enscription.
Bill Olson was Jane's guest for
dinner.
AGR pledges who took their
sneak Monday can find their pa
jamas where the actives left
them draped in front of the Chi
Omega house.
Journeying to Minnesota for
the game last Saturday were two
of the University's new married
couples. Mr. and Mrs. Dean

over Sunday evening for a coffee
hour. Entertainment was pro
vided by a trio and television
set
Bob Gangel and Don Shep
herd who came to the Theta
house Wednesday to get their
dates were shocked speechless
by the housemother who greeted
them at te door. It was a Nancy
Swovda bedecked in fake ears,
teeth, and nose. The costume she
wore was stunning too.

their housemother will be the
guests of the alumnae at a lunch
eon Saturday. A luncheon will
