Page 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN EDITORIAL PAGE omscosn i no Homecoming 1952 was one of the most success ful events of its type in the history of our Uni versity. The house displays, the parade, the foot ball game, the dance and the general attitude of student, faculty and alumni was Just right to cre ate a weekend of fun and festivity for all con cerned. Several difficulties arose during the week end which The Nebraskan would like to point out not as criticism of any of the planning' that went into the Homecoming celebration but as the result of student opinion over the weekend. The first point we'd like to mention is in re gard to the dismissal of classes on Saturday morning. Corn Cobs and Tassels made a sin cere and worthy attempt this year to bring this about Perhaps it would be advisable for those concerned with such matters to approach the administration on the subject a bit earlier in the spring or at least at that time that would make it possible for the dismissal of classes to be worked into the University schedule. v The next matter that came to this writer's attention about the weekend was the matter of revealing the Pep Queen and the house and parade winners at the Homecoming dance Sat urday night. Many out-state and out-of-state persons attending the game were extremely dis appointed in, not being able to know which groups won what unless they attend the dance. It is this writer's opinion that the Home coming dance can be a success without the added attendance incentive of finding out win ners of the day's activities. Persons that or dinarily would have no reason to attend the dance would be far more pleased with the Uni versity If such things could be announced at the game. also alleviate many of the misunderstandings and the hard feelings that seem to crop up In abundance when any certain organization tries to keep something secret and finds that their se cret is well known. The third, and perhaps the most discussed hv cident about the Homecoming weekend concerns the Pep Queen. As is traditional, the Pep Queen, elected in 1951 last fall, reigned at the game Sat urday. Her successor was named at the dance Saturday night and shall reign over next year's Homecoming festivities. It seems more logical to this writer to elect a Pep Queen one year, announce her ascendency to the Homecoming throne at Saturday's game and have her reigning perhaps with a grand march, a special dance and a throne or some similar arrangement, at the Saturday night dance. How much nicer it would be for the Pep Queen to have her day of glory than to be presented at the dance and then wait an entire year before she appears before the crowd at a football game. This type of presentation of the Pep Queen would also rule out the possibility of the Homecoming celebrations going without a Pep Queen some year when the woman elected the previous year does not return to school. Comment number four has to do with the Homecoming displays and perhaps might not be too practical. Several persons expressed the wish that at least the forms of the house displays re main in their entireity through Saturday night. That is, for the group that regulates the house displays to ask that they not be torn down until the Sunday following Homecoming. This proposal Would make it possible for all persons so interested to view the house displays LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS .....

Of course, many persons will say that the dance at their convenience and, if the lights and music would have failed had not a great many of those attending done so just because they wanted to know who the 1953 Pep Queen was and whose house won what. Anybody that attended the dance can verify the fact that no noticeable sur prise was shown by the large crowd when the various winners were announced. This must attest to the fact that the people at the dance were there simply because it was the Homecoming dance and not just because they were curious about winners. Announcing the winners at the game might were turned on again on Saturday night, might lend quite a festive atmosphere to the end of the big weekend: The Nebraskan was made aware of the pre ceding suggestions over the weekend and finds them worthy of serious consideration by the pow ers that be. The Homecoming weekend was a tremendous success. Everyone that had to do with it is to be congratulated. Perhaps the 1953 Homecoming can be even more successful. R.R, i 4.

Certainly your slams at the Innocents Society and Kos met Klub are not Justified. First Is it possible to feel nostalgic about a place you've never seen? If so, "Midcentury Journey" by William L.

The news of what and members of the Student Council that have to went on at the meeting does not give the full story do with University election proceedures told The of the Kosmet Klub issue now under debate. The Daily Nebraskan would like to take this advantage in this editorial column to tell Its readers bow, In certain ways, they are being denied the privilege of having complete know ledge of campus issues in their newspapers. Members of Kosmet Klub voted Monday night to continue their tradition of "having balloting by ticket for Nebraska Sweetheart and Prince Kos met. This writer was told that the members of Kosmet Klub were given three alternatives in the voting: 1) ticket-balloting, 2) balloting by All University election proceedures; and 3) having a committee of the Mortar Boards, Innocents and Kosmet Hub executive committee decide the titil 1st This writer later found from several per sons in attendance at the meeting that the vot ing was between two of the alternatives ticket balloting and the Mortar-Board-Innocent selec tion. The possibility ef holding an AU-Uni-versity election requiring the dm of student ID cards for balloting was suggested in the meet ingnot put up to a vote. When the possibilities of holding an All-Unl- Nebraskan that it is quite possible to set up an All-University election between now and Thurs day. The ballots would have to be printed and the time and place of balloting decided upon and announced. The Kosmet Klub members were told in meet ing Monday night that the office of the Dean of Student Affairs had vetoed the idea of an All University election. When the person to whom this was attributed was contacted by The Ne braskan, he said that he had not vetoed the idea and that Kosmet Klub was completely free to do as it wished. The Daily Nebraskan Is editorially support ing the movement to stop ticket-balloting on this campus. Kosmet Klub is one of those groups to be affected by the ultimate action of this move ment However, If the members of Kosmet Klub choose to object to this movement, It Is their absolute right. If they vote, to continue their tradition of ticket-balloting, tw ig their right But this writer would like to point out that a misrepresentation of the facts whatever they may be in this case was used to get a vote to go a certain way.

States after the war, Sherir was disturbed to find at home the same feelings of distrust and suspicion which had prevailed In Europe In the 1930's. "Some things puzzled me. Two things, principally: first, a curious schizophrenia in p o p u I a r thought; and second, an Inex plicable atmosphere ef Intoler ance, suspicion, fear, and even hysteria, which threatened our freedoms and formed a relent less pressure toward conform ity of opinion." In sspite of his concern. Shirer feels optimistic about the hope of the United States as long as we are willing to follow an honor able policy of world leadership.

However, a snag arose when It was discovered that the Col iseum was not available on the two nights proceeding the scheduled date. This problem, while not the fault of the Kos met Klub, had to be solved by that group. At the time, dates were bring sold at quite a large premium, and Kosmet Klub met with various faculty members to discuss a new date for the show. There were very few ' dates available, and the present one was chosen in view of the fact that Homecoming was only a few days before the show. However, Kosmet Klub at tempted to allow for the con flict with Homecoming by picking the final skits far enough ahead to provide plenty ef time for preparation.

And then look at Roy Speece of York who ended up with a full-fledged public office des pite his lack of interest in the position.

You'd need a little practicing on your jitter-bugging tho' cause he leans toward the fast ones. My boss was there. He was graduated about five or six years ago and he was complaining cause there weren't many alums there. Said when he was in school all the alums used to come to the Homecoming dance to renew old acquaintances. This year the crowd was mostly students and he, for one, was a little disappointed Maybe the emphasis on getting the old grads back should be In creased next year. The Coliseum couldn't have held many mon people tho'. There were the usual parties be fore and after the dance. A big part of the fun was seeing all the 1951 and 52 graduates who came back for the game. Most of them commented on how enthusiastic everyone is this year. I hope they're right and not Just getting matured by their contacts with the hard, cruel world. Things are settling down again now. People can start making up the study hours missed last week and some will be getting ready for another trip this week end. Oklahoma is the next foe, of course. The record Is a little confusing. We tied Colorado so did they. We lost to Missouri 10-6 and Oklahoma humbled them on Saturday to the tune of 47-7. Guess ws'll have to Ig nore the second statistic and concentrate on the first cause a Sooner scalp would sure look good hanging on a Husker belt As I said before, it's time to set' tie down for another week. It's raining tonight for the first time in a couple months. Seems Just like summer again because there's lightning and thunder and the air is warm. Am getting sleepy al ready and there's still Monday's assignments to do so had better close. Hope you and all the other grads over there will have your "big game" won and can be back for the 1853 Homecoming. Bye now, MAR J MORAN the shows were of top caliber and the displays were top-notch. This year the House Displays were on a par with the best, and the six1 final Kosmet Klub skits are! certainly some of the finest. The' double-duty which you refer to' in your column will be borne by only, few people, and I am sure that they can arrange their time so as not to flunk out of school.
