THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
.Tom Rische.
Campus Political Almanac
For the benefit of those studerts who may be
new to the campus, and those who may not know,
this column is designed to give a little editor's
eye view of campus political life.
Probably one of the first things that will meet
the eye of the average student, is that, by and
large, most of the top students in activities are
Greeks. There are several reasons for this:
1. Greek students are strongly entrenched in
positions and attempt to maintain themselves in
asmuch as possible.
2. There Is no really strong: Independent or
ganization on campus to orient incoming students
in the ways and means of University activities.
3. Greek students seem to be more activity
minded than do the independents.
In most activities, there is an opportunity for
Independent students to work themselves to the
top, and not too infrequently, they do. The presi
dent of the Student Council, George Cobel, is
the first Independent in a number of years to
hold that post. Last year, the AUF director and
associate editor of The Daily Nebraska were
Independents. This year, three of the 20 Mortar
Boards and one of the 12 Innocents are unaf
filiated. The goal of most-activity minded students on
campus is to become either a Mortar Board (for
women) or an Innocent (for men.) These senior
students are picked each year at Ivy Day. They
are reportedly chosen upon the basis of their par
ticipation in activities, support of the school and
their scholarship.
Students can work up in various activities un
til they reach a high position to be in line for
either Innocents or Mortar Boards. Activities
usually considered most helpful in gaining these
include Corn Cobs, Tassels, Kosmet Klub,
Builders, the All-University Fund, the Corn
husker, the late Corn Shucks, The Daily Ne
braskan, Coed Counselors, Student Council, Col
lege Days, N Club, Farmers Fair Board, Ag
Exec Board, Cornhusker Countryman, Coll-Agri-Fnn
Board and the Home Ec Club. Other
organizations count toward the two top hon
oraries, but those mentioned above are gen
erally considered to be the cradles of potential
Innocents and Mortar Boards. No one seems to
know actually, except the members of the two
organizations, but the concensus of "those who
know" seems to be that the groups listed above
are mort important.
Innocents and Mortar Boards are active in
sponsoring various student projects and apepar
ing at various functions to represent the University.

Campus politics are an interesting, if some
times dirty business. Some of the campaigns in
the past have been conducted on a level which
would equal some of the national mud-slinging
campaigns. But then that's life. Or is it?
: whatever you do," said Nancy
Button, AWS president at the
'Kampus Kues" program for
freshmen women Wednesday.
She added, "People are prone
to judge the multitude by the
few."
There's A Difference
There's a cold war right here in Lincoln. Any
University student who has listened to the opinions
of a long-time Lincoln resident on the subject of
"Those Crazy U. of N. Kids" can vouch for it.
After all, not many Lincolnites hear much more
of the U. than just how the football or basket
ball team is doing. Their personal experience with
us usually ends with a load of beer cans scattered
artistically on their lawns.
Let's face it. We have little publicity other
than parades that snarl Lincoln traffic or riots
over things they consider much too trivial to fight
about. We can't coast on our sports reputation
forever.

That Reader's Digest article about the fra

been kicked around in conversation by nost of
