Orchids Or Lilies
In 36 hours the Ivy Day suspense will be over.
Barring the unforeseen there will be 13 new Inno
cents and from 5 to 20 new Mortar Boards. The
13 old will retire their cowls and this year's 20
will put away their black masks, taking places
among the so called "has-beens."
. . . For The Best
Thirty-six years from now none of us will
have a very clear memory of what happens Sat
urday afternoon. We will simply classify, it
among the souvenirs of a college career. To
morrow .will be momentous for some; years
from now it will be merely a dim memory.
Now while we're still anticipating what will
happen, still writing out lists, , still wondering
whether there have been or will be any last
minute changes to mix up previous lists of Mortar
Boards and Innocents there is time to pause snd
think about the day's activities.
Without resorting to a lecture, The Daily Ne
braskan merely says to those who are tackled or
masked that you have a big job ahead of you.
Belonging to these two senior honoraries involves
some hard work; the groups have a heavy agenda.
If you're not chosen so what? You'll survive
and make the grade another time in another way
if you don't give up.
If tears are shed tomorrow there's one thing
to remember. The legendary pot of gold at the
rainbow doesn't lie with what happens at Ivy
Day 1952. J. K.

Grand Slam This Time
Somebody really hit a grand slam in mix ups
Wednesday when the Student Council passed the
resolution concerning Daily Nebraskan advertis
ing, news "coloring" and Letterip policies a
recommendation to be submitted to the Commit
tee on Student Publications. In fact the run
around members of this staff went through Thurs
day trying to find facts about the situation was
amusing.
It was quite interesting to compare what
faculty members of the subcommittee on general
organization had expected the Council to pass in
comparison to what actually was presented in the
resolution.
It now seems that what the outgoing chair
man of the committee on elections of the Stu
dent Council intended to put forth was as fol
lows: (according to information derived from
various faculty members) The Council wanted
to suggest to the Committee on Student Publi
cations that the committee confer with staff
members of The Daily Nebrskan about the
exact policy in regard to student elections. In
other words publicize the policy, advertising
rates, and set forth the policy regarding "slant
ing and coloring" of news and the policy in re
gard to letters to the editor. Nowhere did any
faculty member profess any knowledge of a pro-
. . . Press Freedom Continues
vision which would suggest control of the edi
torial policy. But it was in the original motion.
Now let's compare that to what the actual
resolution said: ". . . that the Student Council
through resolution submit to the Publications
Board a request that a policy be established in
The Daily Nebraskan. This policy should include
the following:
1. Advertising and advertising notes for indi
viduals and groups.
2. Editorial coverage.
3. Coloring or slanting of news stories.
4. Contributions to the editor that are
lished (Letterips.)
Section 2 was defeated.

Saturday will climax the final student scene to be
staged by the present members of the Mortar Board and
Innocent societies.
The 32 members of the senior honorary societies have
played their roles as campus leaders upon the University
stage before an audience of 6000. The year's program has
included such serviceable events as the Black Masque ball,

what the members of the faculty committee
actually expected in the resolution.
Perhaps it is a semantics difficulty. But the
resolution does not convey the idea which appar
ently members of the faculty expected.
It is unfortunate that such a resolution in its
form was presented to the Student Council. Per
haps a little more careful examination of resolu
tions would eliminate a lot of this mix-up which

The Candidates Were There
The Student Council's first attempt to c&rry
out a new section of its new constitution and by
laws a public all-University forum to hear can
didates and discuss issues got off to a slow start
Thursday night and later fizzled out to a complete
flop.
A majority of the 62 various candidates for
junior and senior class officers and Student Coun
cil positions appeared shortly after the appointed

We hope that the action of the Council in
some way still can be modified. J. K.
How About A Rummage Sale?
There has to be some explanation. Some 400
University men just don't start charging up and
down 16th street tossing water, storming down
town theaters and women's houses without some
motivation. What the reason is, is difficult to
determine.
In an attempt to discover some logical rea
son for the great riot, The Daily Nebraskan
asked an assistant professor of psychology, Dr.
Harry G. Schrickel, if he could offer any ex
planation for the actions of these University
"men" Wednesday night in their sorority house
raids.
Laughing he said that there's an obvious sort
of explanation. For some it might have been
emotional immaturity or sexual factors, although
Schrickel did not give a blank check Freudian
explanation.
He said that once s thing like this gets roll
ing the persons are not individually involved
and they all aren't doing it for the same reason.
He believed that some might have been doing
It for group respect and approval, some doing it
to strive for status in a situation or because
they didn't want discrimination against them in
their own group.
... Or Psycho-Analysis?
It would be quite interesting and probably
quite revealing to ask in private just what pleas
ure each of these University boys received from
storming the women's houses carrying out any
lingerie they could find.
One thing is certain. It's great publicity for
the University. After all, how often does
something occur here which merits the front
page play in both Lincoln papers. Ton men
really hit the jackpot so far as news headlines

The near total University enrollment that was
either too busy or too uninterested to attend this
first Forum missed a good evening of issues,
glittering generalities, political remarks and gen
eral information on what's at stake in Monday's
election.
Some of the candidates, as is to be expected,
arose, after introduction by the Student Council
vice president in charge of elections, and said not
much of anything. Some of the student govern
ment candidates took the floor and said plenty.
A few candidates humored up the forum by pro
posing such things as 12 o'clock week nights for
dorm residents. General tone of the evening
seemed to be to precede one's speech with "I did

Insignificant subjects purely political en
tered into. the speeches of candidates. But, on
the whole, those candidates ablt to be present,
said something, stood for something and con
tributed something to a healthy political situa
tion on this campus.
It was extremely interesting to notice the
composition of the audience. Only one leading
member of a certain party interested in this elec
tion was present. The audience, around 7:30
p.m. could have been called a handful. Before 9
o'clock, approximately 10 people remained to
hear the speeches. Each candidate, it would seem,
after hearing his opponents, adjourned to discuss
more pertinent issues.
But to nearly the entire University enrollment
unable to generate enough time or interest to
hear their candidates for student government the
results of this first Forum must not be of import
ance. Come Monday, University students are to go
to the polls to elect their representatives to the
highest offices of student government Thurs
day night the candidates appeared in public to
gain or to lose votes. They were there but
where was their University the people who
plan to vote Monday? R. R.

comparatively original, at least.
We do have one suggestion however. Why
not get together pool all your "prizes" and hold
a rummage sale. We are certain the coeds
would pay to retrieve their garments and just
think you could finance any future adventures
of this type. In fact, you'd probably have
enough money for refreshments. J. K.
To the Editor:
Saturday's A Busy Night
Through the efforts of 18 junior and senior
members of the University the night of Ivy Day,
this Saturday, is to be climaxed with a Junior
Senior Prom that has all the earmarks of being
successful
The junior and senior class officers and
council members, desirous of making a success
out of aa event which failed so miserably last
year, have planned and worked to instill fun,
prestige and tradition into this year's Prom.
Point number one, to be taken into confiid-fa-tion
by University students is that the Prom will
be held off campus at the Lincoln hotel. Point
number two is that Dave Haun's orchestra will
provide dancing entertainment for Prom-goers.

cers and councils to break even.
These are just a few facts and figures on the
good ideas, hard work and financial worries of the
junior and senior class leaders. Ivy Day Is a well
supported tradition. The Junior-Senior Prom is
trying to gain this position. Very, very few
tickets have been sold by Corn Cobs, class offi
cers and councils.
The Ivy Night festivities have all the trim
mings and appearances of a good time. Accord
ing to ticket sales, Saturday must be a mithty
busy night for University students. But it
shouldn't be too busy to support then own

The 18 seniors and juniors underwrote the
Prom for $350. Both classes have approximately
158 in their treasury. One hundred dollars Is
the rental-fee for the hotel ballroom. Between

Each Prom ticket costs $2, 11.67 of which goes

The rain of the first few days of
saJes helped to cut down the inter
est both in the selling and the
buying of E ribbons. Furthermore.
the enrollment of the college of
tngineering is down almost di
rectly in proportion to the de
crease in the sales of E ribbons.
The displays were on the
average, as good as last year's.
The number of displays in each
department will undoubtedly
be reduced with the redurtfon
of students enrolled in the col
lege. We personally know of two
specific cases where people, who
tried to see everything that we
bad to offer, started through
Open House at 2 p.m., and had
