PAGE 2 Friday, September 21, 1951 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN : i In 5 M. 0 1 '4 i i -Tom Rscie- Voting Booths, At Last At last, the Student Council has obtained vot lnglooths to use at all-school elections. The latest information available to me, is that booths will be placed in the At and city Unions, in Ferguson hall and In another spot yet to be determined. This set-up sounds very good.

Many students who ordinarily do not pass the Union may vote If polling places are placed closer to their ordinary path to and from classes. 9fL (jJondshland ponents and proponents of the constitution were equally questionable.

Joan Krueger- 'In My Merry Oldsmobile' The best solution to the campus parking In wrong areas. Several cars, not possessing the situation would be having students and faculty required stickers, were parked in University Stop driving cars. Since this seems to be a bit de- spaces. manding as well as inconvenient, the Student Council, In cooperation with the faculty, has taken steps to provide a parking system which will best meet the needs of both faculty and students. It would be wise If students would realize at the vry beginning, that they cannot have a Uni versity without some instructors. The faculty is probably aware they would not have a Job without students. Since we have recognized, therefore, the necessity for both faculty and students in order to have any institution, we should end now any sug gestion by either party to prohibit use of vehicles by the other. Instead, we might concentrate on the matter of finding parking space. At present the parking issue stands as fol lows: Council members have been issuing parking permits throughout this week. Car owners. living outside an eight block radius, have until today to secure a parking permit Beginning next week tickets will be given to violators of the system. Since enforcement does not begin until next week, any attempt to evaluate the system so far would be futile. If the system is to be effective at all, car owners must park cars in assigned spaces. Tours of parking lots were made Tuesday and Wednesday by campus police and the Student Council president. Several instances were noticed The Student Council, in cooperation with eampus police, is using every means to provide the best solution for campus drivers. Promise has been made by the Council and faculty to revise areas if the lots are not used by assigned drivers. Efforts are being made to secure 150 spaces lost during the summer by building pro grams and other projects. Naturally it is impossible to determine now the success of the new parking system. Reserve judgment until. the plan actually has a chance to prove itself one way or another. Pulling The Wool? Who pulled the wool over whose eyes was the question facing Student Council members at their first meeting. Last year the Council had posters printed urg ing students to "Vote Yes for the Constitution" for the vote on the proposed constitution. Wednesday, grinning sheepishly, Council Treas urer George Wilcox, admitted to members that he had approved printing bills from last spring which included not only the Council's "Yes" posters, but the opposition's "Vote No" literature. What George had just recently discovered was that the opposition had "No" posters printed and Ann's Alley BY ANN GILLIGAN Society Editor Evidently the "love bug" is now accomplishing what he didn't fin ish last spring. Today's "pinning" news tolls of romance between John Render son and Ann Pennor, Dick Ford and Doris Burt from Kansas state, Pat Allen and Jean Peterson, Joe Koch and Delores Schauf, Bruce Holmqulst and Donna Lee Maaske, and Ruthann Lavino and Leonard Bush.

Don Pullen and Diane Manning are now making it a "steady" date, and "Hoppy" McCue and. Ruth Monter are following example. After serious thought, I've deolded to announce that Bob Sherman, Dick Axtell, Bev Hel ler, and Jane Jordan will also be "single" this year. King's will be the scene of "much partying" tonieht.

The "Over-alls" for this week end are a few campus all-timers (persons, places 'n things) that are good daytime, nlghtlme, pastime or all the time on UN campus. First we have a hilarious view of collece life which is cur rently being provided by Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis m rara mount's "That's My Boy" at the Lincoln theatre. Jerry plays a bedraggled youth who suffers from anemia, aller gies rnd some ailments unknown even to the medical profession Despite Jerry's lack of girth and health, Dad sends him oil to coi lege with instructions to make the varsity football team. Jerry's roommate is Dean, handsome star of the team and campus Romeo. He takes Jerry in tow. tries to teach him a few plays, both on and off the field. Jerry also threatens the coach's sanity while restoring his father's faith in heredity, and there is the final suspicion that the Dean of Men and Dean of Women will never be the same again. urippmg realism and tense drama highlight the unusual story of murder at the State theatre under the exciting title of "The Poppo Elected To Red Cross Position Miss Virginia Poppe, sophomore in Teacher's college, was elected to the position of Gray Ladies As sistant on the Red Cross college board at the organization's Thurs day meeting. Miss Poppe was chosen to fill the office vacated by Miss Suz anne Stoll, former Gray Ladles Assistant. Miss Stoll is now chair man of the Red Cross student blood program. Miss Poppe's duties will include direct connection with the county Gray Ladies and recreation, art and craft, music and Horary work with the Red Cross county chap ter. Approximately 12 board mem bers were present to elect Miss Poppe to the office. Joan Han son presided at the meeting. Prowler." The suspense-packed film co-stars Evelyn Keyes and Van Heflin. "Captain Horatio Hornblower" comes to the screen in Warner Brothers technicolor sea saga, Gregory Peck and Virginia Mayo take the leads in C. S. Forester's novel which is now on the screen at the Varsity theatre. Rhonda Fleming is in the title role of Universal-International's technicolor film "Little Egypt" at the Stuart theatre. Miss Fleming, co-stars with Mark Stevens as the Egyptian dunccr who set boxofflce records at the Streets of Cairo exhibit during the Chicago Columbian Exposition of 1893 and also set police on her heels for what mor alists termed an indecent per formance. "Undercover Girl" at the Ne braska theatre stars Scott Brady and Alexis Smith. This movie is the story of a beuutiful young woman who be comes a policewoman In order to track down a dope ring leader who murdered her father, a police officer. Where faculty members and students were parked charged them to the Student Council Rev, Rex God Gave Man The Atom Bomb, Said 'It Is In Your Hands Now' It would not take too much imagination to imagine that God released unto man the secret of the atom to relieve Himself of the decision He must face as to the fate of the tiny planet, Earth. After 1900 years of preaching, praying, martyrdom, and sacrifice He saw nothing but continual carn age; brother hating brother, nation fighting na tion. Rather than hurl the final flash, he gave to man the power to make his own destructive thunderbolt One can imagine easily that He stands at the parapet of heaven gazing down at Earth sadly, yet hopefully, saying, It is In your ''bands now." What we do with what we have In our hands is the concern of the Religious Student Houses on the edge of our campus. An educated man is a man with power. He can inspire hope or he can engender fear. At a crossroads in Tennessee, there are two signs. One points left four miles to Oak Ridge SstAnwjiQjtbL where the atom bomb was made, the most destruc tive display of power the world has yet seen. The other points right six miles to Norris Dam, the largest of the TVA system, the most constructive use of power yet devised by our government. And at the crossroads stands a little white church, pointing the way more clearly than either of the signs. The University student is coming up that road in Tennessee. The church, through its campus representatives, the religious student houses, must be there to help point the way to a constructive use of new found power. As God says, hopefully, "It is In your hands now."

There Is a somewhat naive assumption shared by a great many people on this campus that one of the primary functions and duties of our Stu dent Council is to protect the interests of the stu dent body. This would seem to be reasonable enough, for, although the connection is somewhat dubious, the members of the Council are supposed to be our representatives. In the past four years I have had ample opportunity to study the quiverings of this group as they vaecillated back and forth on the prob lem of eampus parking. Daring that time, which has been laced with riots and other student dis turbances, periodie releases from Student Coun ' cil headquarters, third floor. Union, have told of great strides towards the problem's solution. So far the only thing conc3te has been the issuance of parking permits. This is a chore that our present service-minded Council seems to find so odious that they are unable to keep the issuing booth open at the scheduled hours for lack of Council members to staff it Now, as a final stab, at every turn of the wheel the student sees faculty parking lots a, b, c. d, e, and so on through the alphabet. Sure ..you've got a sticker but what good Is It? You and I who play "ring around Sosh" in our cars every morning, can do nothing about this situa tion as Individuals but the Student Council as our representatives can do plenty If they really care. How about it Council are you inteersted In the students? Are you going to get us a fair break from the administration? pr are you just going to keep on taking surveys? We are waiting, George!
