Friday, October 12, 1951 PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN .Tom Rsche. Things Could Be Worse The Daily Nebraskan receives issues ot col lege newspaper from universities all over the coun try, from California to Connecticut. I have noticed, at onetime or other in nearly all of these, edi torials decrying the lack of school spirit at ath letic events. Most of them ran something like this: "Cheering at the football same Saturday showed a terrific lack of spirits. On the other hand, our opponents, few in number though they were, far out-cheered us. This is disgraceful. Why should a large student body like ours be unable to reaaly support the team? Next Sat urday, let's go out and really show them we're behind them. Rah. Rah. Rah." In years past, TheDaily Nebraskan has run editorials something like this. Through experience we have learned that such editorials aren't worth the paper they are written on. I seriously doubt that one additional person decides to cheer as a result All the pious editorials in the world will not create school spirit. A lack of spirit at football games is not a problem peculiar to Nebraska. It seems to be wide-srread. It will not be settled by righteous assertions that "we must cheer louder." Perhaps World war II helped to break down through the years. Many of those traditions are the series of traditions which had grown up gone forever, but some perhaps are not irretrievable. Last Spring, a Student Council committee worked on a plan to revive school spirit The committee sought some solution to the indif University life. In the past, school and class dances, with few exceptions have failed mis erably. This committee came up with a report which was again presented to the Student Council Wednesday. The plan was referred back to com mittees for action. The plan had some parts which might be worth consideration. The plan would provide for class officers elected by all four classes, not merely juniors and seniors. In addition it would provide a class coun cil of some six members to aid the officers in mak ing plans for class events. It is designed to give the students a bigger part in their own affairs, and at the same time a feeling of "belonging." It would provide for more activities within each indi vidual class. Such a plan would require several years before it could really become effective, if then. It might aid in dispelling some of the apathy that is present Its aim is to take the high school student as he enters the University and make him school-conscious. After a student has gone to University for two years, he is be yond the point of return to high school enthus iasm. Such enthusiasm makes for a better school. Maybe this plan is not the answer. But at least it deserves careful consideration. School spirit could be worse. But it could be a lot better. -Joan Krueger, Disgraceful . . . Dear Mr. Sinclair, I actually happened to get a copy of the "Rag" the day that your letter was printed. In fact, I read your letter again and again. Frankly, I was impressed only with your stupidity. What you need is not a fraternity, but an over-grown Boy Scout Club. It is probably true that you did receive 69 copies of the "Rag." As a word of suggestion, I would say, "keep your sticky mitts off of those other "Rags" so that the other two-thirds of the University will have a chance to read the newsprint. You are, it is plain to see, one who is a disgrace to the whole fraternity system, which I think as a whole is good. You are one of the type who always manages to give college boys a strike against them. It is your attitude of "don't give a damn about any one except yourseii" wnicn is typical of your classification of "Harry High School Collegeism." In other words, John, you are an unmitigated sophist. Sincerely, Reader your church! Custer's Last Stand With the faculty senate's approval of the new Student Council constitution, the first official ac tion of the year began. Already two suggestions for revision have been offered by the senate. One would give the College of Pharmacy and the College of Dentistry each a representative ra ther than one to represent both. The other sug gestion would require faculty senate and Board of Regents approval on all revisions and amend ments. In wanting faculty senate and Board of Re gents approval on any changes, the faculty is merely exercising its right of administrative authority. The suggestion that Dentistry and Pharmacy colleges receive two individual repre sentatives does not have as much foundation. One of the major objections students had last year to the new constitution was representation. At the . record vote on the measure, nearly 40 per cent of the University population turned out This was more than had been cast in any other stu dent elections. A breakdown of votes showed that 1,455 favored the constitution and 1,130 opposed it It was approved by a margin of 326 votes. Preceding the election, an open forum was held at which any student or faculty member could express views. Members of the faction r All University Party made a last minute attempt to defeat the measure. Many grievances were brought Into the open. However, we note that no faculty member or representative from the College of Pharmacy or College of Dentistry felt necessity of attending the meeting to discuss their gripes. In a sense these two colleges are acting like opponents of the constitution last spring. Instead of opposing representatino when it was formulated, they wait until new to regis ter disapproval. The faction, last spring, instead of beginning opposition when the proposal was drafted, waited until it was too late, and conse quently lost the election. o By JULIE BELL Church Editor Baptist Student house, 315 North 1 S strppt.

Sidney Buchman's new produc tion for Columbia Pictures, "Sat urday's Hero" is now showing at the Varsity theater. Starring John Derek and Donna Reed, "Satur day's Hero" is the story behind college football, a glamor-stripping lowdown of the body-buying system cf bigtime schools and their "kept men" of the gridiron. Derek plays a star high school athlete who wishes to climb above his family's station in life and jumps at the chance to play football for an ivy-covered college. He quickly discovers that he is only a "Saturday's hero," cheered wildly one afternoon a week be cause of his .spectacular football playing, but otherwise shunned by the fraternity boys. As a football-playing commodity, he isn't expected to try too hard for the education he so desperately desires. . He also discovers that he is be ing sponsored as an All-American player by a wealthy and over bearing alumnus, who is further ing his own political ambitions by building up his alma mater as a great football college. Also complicating Derek's life is a love affair. Derek and Donna Reed, niece of the alumnus, fall in love and plan to marry. Disillusionment sets in when a rival player injures Steve's shoulder and later tells him he rot a $150 bonus for doing it. The injury becomes permanent and Steve leaves school to work in the mill in the shadow of which he grew up. The dis aster isn't complete, however, as he plans to finish college near home at nieht and Miss that she will By ANN GILUGAN Society Editor No, the Communists aren't coming out from underground!

Happy entertainment for every body is in MGM's star song-and-laugh-loaded new Technicolor musical, "Texas Carnival," which is at the Stuart theater. Esther Williams shows off that famous aqua-figure, this time as a carnival trouper. Her Job is to sit in a bathing suit on a break-away seat constructed over a tank of water. Patrons pay to throw balls at a target and if it is hit, Esther gets a dunking. The spieler for this act is Red Skelton, who gets himself and the star performer into trouble. For songs there is Howard Keel as a warbling cowhand. For dancing there is fast-strip-pnig Ann Miller, with Paula Raymond and Keenan Wynn also on hand in a story which winds up with Skelton winning a chuck wagon race in which he does everything but drive the horses while standing on his head. The troubles and laughs be gin when Cornelius Quinnel (Skeleton) befriends drunken cat tle baron Dan Sabinas (Wynn), and Ron Pilgrim, Bev Pace and j who insists on giving tne spieier Jerry Krantz, Nancy Randall and! his expensive car.

College representation is based on granted representatives on that basis. Pharmacy has 137 students and Dentistry, 121, or a total of 258 students. If each group were allowed one delegate, other college delegates would have to be increased as follows ( to maintain a fair ratio): Law college with 189 students, two; En gineering and Achitectural college with 770 stu dents, at least five; Business Administration col lege with 919 students, at least six, almost seven; Ag college with 896 students, at least six; Teach ers college with 1332 enrolled, at least nine; and Arts and Sciences college with enrollment of 1067, about eight That would total 38 or 39 eats on the Council without any other repre sentatives.
