AUCTION ACTION . .
Since 1948, AUF Bids Furnish Fun
For Purchases, Purchasers, Public
By Staff Member
Here comes the addition lesson
for today.
Pies, bids, pledge classes and
queens equal what? The answer:
An evening of fun at the annual
AUF Auction, Dec. 12.
Since its first presentation
In 1948, the auction has sold
everything from baby-sitting
services to pages in The Daily
Nebraskan.
During the 1949 auction, a page
in The Daily Nebraskan was sold
for $150. In the interest or the
success of the auction, the 1949
Innocents society offered pints of
blood and pounds of flesh. Finally
the auctioneer was asked to sell
his own services as car washer,
diaper washer and Santa Claus,
During the 1950 Auction,
SAM active Ira Epstein was
bought by the SAM pledge
class for 24 hours. His duties
Included: filling water glasses
for three meals, shining all
shoes, being call-boy, shoveling
snow, being personal valet for
all pledges, answering four
phones, making the pledge's
beds and lighting cigarets for
all pledges.
Pep Queen Jayne Wade spent.a
very entertaining day as Kappa
Sig housemother, while the Beauty
queens spent a day as guests of
the Sigma Chis.
The Phi Gams really went an
out on their queen purchases last
year. They bought the Honorary
Commandant, Nebraska sweet
heart, Pep Queen and Interfra
ternity Sweetheart.
The Sigma Kappa and Sigma
Delta Tan pledges split 50-50
on the purchase of the 1950
Husker football team.
The AOPi's and Beta Big's both
made group purchases in the form
of the Innocents and the Mortar
Boards, respectively.
A new queen was aaaea to ine
roster of Nebraska queens during
last year's auction. Julie Johnson,
the first Activity Queen in Ne
braska's history, was elected by
those attending the auction. Miss
Johnson represented the Corn
husker. Presentation of this year's
Activity Queen will be one of
the highlights of the auction.
Dr. Curtis M. Elliot, associate
professor of economics and in
surance, will serve as faculty
auctioneer.

'HELP WEEK' NOT 'HELL'
Fraternities
Plan To Aid
Community
United States college fraternity
"Hell Weeks' will soon be replaced
by "Help Weeks" and the campus
faternal groups will also play an
increasingly important role in
worthwhile civic and community
affairs.
That was the concensus of
members of a panel discussing
fraternity public relations at the
43rd annual meeting of the Na
tional Inter.Tr; ternity Conference
held at Old Point Comfort, Va.,
Nov. 29 to Dec. 1.
Representing the University In
terfraternity Council at the con
ference were Harold Meyers,
Larry Nordin, Charles Anderson
and Cy Johnson. Faculty sponsor
was Frank M. Hallgren, assistant
dean of student affairs.
The panel urged fraternities to

tivities. It also adopted a recommenda
tion that all Uniited States college

Fuseliers To Hold Banquet
A crack squad of nine hand
picked members of Pershing
Rifles will perform as part of the
pre-coronation ceremonies at the
Military Ball Friday.
Aspirants practiced for nine
weeks, twice a week for two
hours at a time and during spare
time to perfect the complex rou'
tines. As the drill went into its fi
nal stages, nine men were chosen
to participate, in the final show
at the ball. Two alternates were
also selected.
The squad is selected from
freshman and sophomore ROTC
students. Upperclassmen serve
as officers only. Men who try
out for the sqi 'd are often in
experienced and must learn
everything including the most
basic movements. Others have
high school ROTC experience.
Crack squad movements differ
from ordinary drills performed
in regular ranks. According to
Wayne Bailey, some movements
have as many as 45 counts.
There are about nine different
dirrls or manuels as they "are
termed.
The men maintain coordina
tion through "slaps and grounds."
In the course of the drills the
rifle is slapped as often as possi
ble with the open hand. When the
piece is lowered to the floor, one
solid "thump" or ground is at
tempted. No cadence is called or
any commands issued. The men
rely entirely on the grounds and
slaps and their memories to keep
the drill as mechanical as possi
ble.
The special crack squad rifles
weight nine pounds, much
heavier than a twirling baton,
but they are handled in a simi
lar manner.
Each year the squad leader
must design a set of movements
different from the routines of pre
vious years. This year Lloyd "Kel
ler has worked out a "circle man-
uel" that has liever been at
tempted before. As each man has
almost a separate part in many
of the movements, the iob of in
structing and drilling the men is
no small task .
The Military Ball is only the
first exhibition of the crack
squad. It will perform at a bas
ketball game, before various civic
groups and for the Grand Island
Rotary club. The biggest drill of
the year is the regimental com
petition with other colleges.
The University unit will per
form before top brass judging
the competition between Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North
and South Dakota universities
and Iowa State college.
This year in -addition to the
new circle formation the squad
has rehearsed a series of spins,
hesitations and deviations closing
with the Queen Ann salute which
is the only movement retained
from year to year.

Daily Nebraskan Advertising
Brings Results To Bob Ficke
It seems that advertising does pay at least for Bob Ficke.
Since he ran the following ad in Wednesday's Daily Nebraskan,
both residence phones have been kept busy. By 4:30 p.m. Wednes
day, he had received 25 calls.
WANTED: A female date to the Military Ball. Bob Ficke,
genial graduate student, wishes an attractive date. Will share ex
penses. Tryouts Wednesday evening, 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. at 7ia
North 16th Street
As a result of the calls, Ficke is now lined up for weeks in
advance. He thinks the system is a success especially since hi?
social life is well taken care of at little expense to him.
Ficke says he is "on the level" and plans to go through with
the ad if he can find a girl who meets his requirements.
Last night he interviewed all the girls who made appointments
to see him. Seven girls signed up.
Ficke judged the date candidates on personality, upper class
rank, good figure and ability to walk, see and hear. Most important,
however, she must pay her own expenses.

Well, it's all over now.
The voting is done, and Eligible
Bachelors have been chosen.
Although the election will soon
be forgotten, some of the cam
paigning won't.
For, this year, men's organ
ized houses have gone "all out"
to get votes for their candidates
from the females.
Paint, wit ingenuity and
some free time went to make a
campaign that was not only col
orful but entertaining.
Signs were the main form of
advertising.
One ingenious fraternity
handed out a "dope sheet," on
which a "hot, tip" announced that
its candidate had been "doped" a
winner in the Eligible Bachelor
sweepstakes." Girls were asked to
"place their bets" at Ellen Smith
Hall.
Many candidates for the title
believed they deserved the girls'
vote because they were not
pinned, engaged, going steady or
married.
Advertisement for an Ag candi
date, Dean Linscott, said that
most bachelors "love'em and
leave'em," but he "loved'em and
loved'em."
One advertisement told how
"girls whine and pine for Con
Woolwine."
Two fraternities sent tele
grams advertising their candi
date! but this was too expen
sive for most bouses.
Sororities were entertained
at dinner by songs and poems
advertising certain candidates.
One group of pledges sang a
witty phrase about their candidate
and showered the girls with
candy kisses.
And the last day of the cam
paing, Delt pledges, dressed in
straw hats, raccoon coats, and
beating a drum, picketed outside
Ellen Smith hall to get more votes
for their candidate, Dick Lander.
