THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
University Dames Choose Six Children
A Salute .
The most impressive half-time ceremonies of any Ne
braska home game is the annual band day, held this year
during Saturday's game with Penn State. There is some
thing breath-taking about several thousand high school
students marching on the field. Every color combination
imaginable is represented. As the different lines of mu
sicians weave through the intricate drill, it looks as jf
someone is spinning a color wheel, blurring the distinct
shades of red, blue and green and blending them into
one solid array.
But the most thrilling part is felt after the musicians
have formed the huge "N" across the playing field and the
blurring colors return to their distinctive shades. Instru
ments are raised and the strains of the national anthem
echo throughout the stands. For once, one feels this is
the way the Star Spangled Banner should be played with
hundreds of clarinets, trumpets, and trombones joining in
to make everyone, everywhere hear. It is truly an awe
inspiring sight to see and one usually remembers it vividly.
Standing on a platform in the middle of the field, one
little man is almost lost in the surrounding tasseled hats
and shining instruments. He is hardly conspicuous among
the thousands of other people around him, for it is this
man who should receive the respect and admiration of
every person in the University, the state and the nation.
For it is his untiring efforts and extreme unselfishness that
made possible the success of this band day.
But the products of his work do not cease with this
one function they do not even begin there. Each day,
each week, each month of every year he is giving his skill
and efforts. This faithfulness offers a never-ending list
of contributions to the students, the University and the
people of the state.
There has never been a better Cornhusker than Don
Lentz.

Who is the -ugliest man on
campus?
All University students will
have an opportunity to answer
that question in a special elec
tion in November.
Letters are going out today to
the 32 organized men's houses
on camous asking for their most
suitable candidate for the title
of Ugliest Man on Campus.
The new contest, originated by
the All University Fund was cre
ated to give men a chance to
gain publicity, according to Jo
Lisher, director.
Jackie Hoss, chairman of the
contest, stated, "There are con
tests galore for coeds on this
campus, but not much has been
done for the men."
Houses to Nominate
Miss Hoss Has asked each
house to submit its candidate's
name to her, by Wednesday,
Nov. 1. All entries may be sent
to Jackie Hoss, 1545 S Street
It makes no difference what
the prospect's qualifications may
be regarding personality, social
standing or religion. As long as
the house he represents will
vouch for his homeliness, he has
good chance of winning.
(The UMOC may be like other
"people on campus in all ways
save one he must be ugly.)
After all names have been
submitted, the entire field of
candidates will be announced by
AUF.
Proceeds Go to Charity
All students are encouraged to
remember the voting date Nov.
1-21. "Voting booths" will be set
up in the Union. There will be
'a charge of one nickle. Students
who cast a vote will wrap it
about the nickle. All proceeds
will go to the AUF charity fund
for Community Chest, YW and
YMCA, CARE, WSSF, and the
Crusade for Freedom.
Next week, posters identifying
the "aspirants" for the title will
be planted at various points on

campus.
In this way, students will
know what each candidate looks
like and thus will be assured of
picking the ugliest male.
Contest's Purpose
Purpose of the contest is:
1. To enable men students on
campus who would have no
chance in a beauty contest, to
win at least a title like UMOC.
2. To provide the organized
men's houses an opportunity to
get some publicity through their
illustrious representatives.
3. To afford every student a
plendid opportunity to practice
"getting out the vote" in Novem
ber even though he or she is not
21.
The fact that important elec
tions are usually held during this
month, might stimulate students
to make a more intelligent choice
for UMOC.
Coed rumor has it that it
shouldn't be too hard to find
sufficient material for the con
test. The girls feel that each of
the houses concerned have
enough potential candidates for
several contests.
K-State 'Smokes'
After 36 Years
"No smoking" on the campus
from 1908 to 1944 was more than
a tradition at Kansas State col
lege it was a college regulation.
The so-called tradition origin
ated with the college, but did not
become a regulation until 1908
when students also were forbid
den to engage in drinking, card
playing or dancing and were
compelled to attend church on
Sunday.
An excerpt from the college
catalogue stated that, "Undue so
cial attentions are not allowed."
The late Dr. J. T. Willard,
vice-president of Kansas State at
the time, said in a statement to
The Collegian in 1931: "It was
improper to smoke in the pres
ence of other men at the time the
institution was founded. A gen
tleman would not blow smoke
across the face of another man
without asking him if it offended
him, much less smoke in the
presence of a lady."
In 1944 the council of deans
voted unanimously to lift the
regulation after a recommenda
tion to that effect from the Stu
dent Council.

doing satisfactory scholastic work
and in need of financial assist
ance. The first recipient will be
an engineering student, in honor
of Mr. Meyer.

yourself promoted.
And besides the work, there are
ways of having fun. You meet
people. You do things that or
dinarily wouldn't interest you,
but you find that there is some
thing about them that is worth
while. And most of all, you get
the most satisfaction of being as
sociated with a group that is
going somewhere. For the Union
is a growing organization. And
there is a place for you to
help in the growth.

good. You'd be surprised how
much talent there is around here
that no one ever knows about.
Latent talent it's called.
