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

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.

The KK Story
A news story on page 1 of this issue carries proved; there is no such two-week period re-
the bare facts of a Kosmet Klub meeting held at quired in order to hold an All-University election
5 p.m. Monday at the Union. 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

a misrepresentation of the facts whatever they

disturbed to find at home the

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

hysteria, which threatened our
freedoms and formed a relent

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

Margin Notes
What About WJ.B.?
No one seems to know what to do with Wil
liam Jennings Bryan the WJ.B. In bronze, that
U. Gov. Peterson seemingly has promised to move
the statue from Its posltion on the north steps of
the Capitol before his term of office expires in
January.
His most current suggestion Is to implant the
Great Orator in, or on the property of, the Ne
braska Historical Society's new building at 15th
and R Streets.
The Society's executive board has scheduled a
meeting on Nov. 23 to consider the matter.
f Does anyone want a weather-beaten old statue
of a thrice-beaten presidential aspirant?
Soma Guys Have It
' Let's face it. Some guys Just have It and
some don't Look at all those Democrats who
couldn't get elected to office to save their skins.
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.
Just as a joke, some of his friends got together
and decided to vote for him for county furveyor,
there being no other candidates. Speece was de
clared elected upon receiving only 87 votes out
of the 7,332 votes cast in the county.
Will he take it? Now he's acting more like a
politician.' He's not sure he's available. Hell have
to look into it

Salute To Fritz Daly
The Dally Nebraskan wishes to express Its
regret at the resignation of Frlti Daly as secretary-treasurer
of the University Alumni As

ably in the position since 1948. He will be
missed on campus when he leaves Dec. 1 for a

You missed a good dance Sat
urday night too. Ralph Marterie
played and he's hard to beat.
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.
