Page 2 THE NEBRASKAN Tuesday, November 15, 1955 Nebraskan Editorials: lirrLC wan c:j c.v.is IVe Nominate The Nebraskan nominates Bill Glassford as the "Coach of the Year." The Nebraskan also would like to nominate the 1955 Cornhuskers as the greatest "guts" team in Nebraska football history. Rash statements . . . irresponsible charges ... unfounded support. Pe-haps. But let's look, for a moment, at what's happened this year. Before the season even started, several key players. were chopped from the squad by the ineligibility axe including Don Comstock, half back, and Jerry Peterson, tackle. The Huskers proceeded to lose the first game In pathetic fashion, 6-0, to Hawaii, a team which they had smothered over 50 points the year be fore; This defeat provoked the angriest of de nunciations, which was directed at both Glass ford" and his team. Throughout the remainder of the season, each" has continued to work under the pressure of criticism, which has fluctuated proportion ately to the score of the previous Saturday's football game. Guard Jim Murphy, End Marlin Hilding and Halfback Sylvester Harris were lost to the squad for the season through injuries. At many other times during the year, first stringers Bob Ber guin, LeRoy Butherus, Don Erway, Bill Taylor, John Edwards, La Verne Torczon, Jack Flem ing and key reserve players George Cifra, George Mink, Bill Hawkins, Gene Haman and Frank Nappi have either been seriously ham pered by injuries or have been temporarily on the disabled shelf. With more than their share of outside pres sures and internal injuries and a poor start to boot, here's exactly what the Huskers have done thus far: They were nosed out by Ohio State, 28-20, now leading the Big Ten. Woody Hayes, Buck eye coach, said "the Huskers weren't Big Ten caliber, but they played like it." They beat K-State, 16-0, the first time in three years. Mum lo All the hum and drum seems to have settled down on Ag campus and a return to normalcy seems to have been effected. There will be a Farmers' Fair and a Farmers' Fair Board. The Ag Exec Board will again assume its usual functions which, for the most part, seems to be the sponsorship of the "Farmers' Formal." A group of people will be selected to co ordinate Farmers' Fair and the entire body of agricultural students will join in fervent prayers for good weather this spring. In other words, the status quo of last year at this time has been preserved. What will happen this spring when Ag students and the Student Council again consider the possibility of joining the boards' functions into one bigger and better board is a question that will have to be post poned. One thing that might be considered if the adherents of both sides are interested in the promotion of a successful Farmers' Fair is the possible addition of a "voting" representative from Farmers' Fair Board to Ag Exec Board. This would not leave Fanners Fair Board alone in the - wilderness with the somewhat momen Henry's Henry's mad. Just about everything went fine at the Homecoming Day game, just about. The Homecoming afternoon started out beau tifully. Henry and Clara came to the game with happy smiles and hot coffee. Henry had a red plaid blanket tucked under bis arm and a white N flower pinned on his coat. Clara, too, was in the crisp Homecoming mood with a white mum dangling from her lapeL She had an extra pair of gloves for Henry in her purse along with two Homecoming pro grams. Clara always likes to save a nice un wrinkled one. By half time both were in good spirits. ' Pleased and contented they relaxed for the half time events. The band's "Buffalo Bill, and the queen presentation were well planned, interesting and fitting for the glorious Homecoming big day. Then came the card section's performance. The two narrowed their eyes and strained their back muscles. Clara cleaned her bifocals on a corner of her white muffler and stared again. "Henry, what is Coral' Ink?" Clara asked her b sab and, while gazing across the football field. Henry frowned, jerked his cap down closer to bis ears and shrugged. "I don't know, mother. Sure wish that those young whippersnappers would do something so we could read it." "Do you suppose it's a publicity stunt for some ink company? They think of everything sowadayi although it does seem rather strange.' At the same time, in West stadium the par ticipating members of the care section were smuanj; themselves in varied pleasures. - A gfrl in a Hue chinchilla coat offered her companion a stick of gum and said, "You know, it fejre is rice to have these seats right on the S3 yard line.

The Aggies are currently ranked number 7 in the nation and are atop the tough Southwest con ference. They lost, 21-0, toittsburgh in a tough, well-played game. Pitt, number 17 in the nation, knocked off nationally ranked Duke and Satur day dumped previously undefeated West Vir ginia, 26-7. They beat Missouri at Columbia, 18-12, the first time since 1938. They racked Kansas, 19-14. The Huskers broke the Iowa State jinx to take a 10-7 "battle. Saturday they whipped Colorado, 37-20, in convincing fashion to win their first Homecoming game since 1950, compile the best Nebraska conference mark since 1940, give Bill Glassford his best coaching record in loop play, 5-0 and set the stage for a showdown with the nation's top team, Oklahoma, this Saturday. t This is a pretty nice array of statistics for any football team let alone a team plagued with injuries, ineligibility and a battery of sports- 1 writers, fans and alumni who are so interested in Nebraska football that all they can think about is getting rid of the coach. It's pretty good evidence that at last Ne braskans have, a football team of which they can be unreservedly, justifiably proud. It's pretty good proof that the current edition of the Scarlet and Cream is one of the gamest teams to ever play on a Cornhusker gridiron. It's enough to show that Glassford and his staff have been doing a mighty fine job this season; in fact, a remarkably fine job when you figure that most people, after the Hawaii game, didn't think the Huskers would win another game. It should be enough to make a lot of people and a lot of newspapers feel downright ashamed. These facts should go into the record books as one of the most amazing team recoveries in modern football. B. B. Normalcy tous task of putting on the event for which they are named and created. As all Ag campus is interested in the success, of Farmers Fair, it would seerr only logical that the representative group of Ag campus, the Ag Exec Board, would be the second most interested group in the promotion of a good Farmers' Fair second only to Farmers' Fair Board. More than likely, many of the problems that the Farmers' Fair Board has had in the past have been caused by a poor liaison with other Ag organizations. As Don Novotny, past president of Farmers' Fair Board, stated in a letter to the new board, a well coordinated program will be successful rain or shine. He also mentioned the need for effective promotion and publicity something with which city campus organizations are well acquainted. Since this- difficulty is not quite solved, it might be well to point out that, in history and in practice, gigantic blocks have been mastered just as many times by going over them as by moving them out of the way. S. J. Mad ping off the gum and nodded. "However, I sort of feel badly about losing the cards. Oh well, no one will know anyhow." Both contentedly chewed their gum. "I told my three little sisters to come for the next game, we can easily sneak them in," the girl in the blue chinchilla coat added. "Last time they ripped up all the cards for confetti, but I told them to take it easy next time." After the game, Henry and Clara elbowed their way out of the stadium. Each was quiet and thoughtful until Henry suddenly muttered, "Never heard of coral ink." B. J. Afterthoughts o Excuse One Nebraska student didn't make it to his 9 a.m. class Monday morning. He didn't have his theme ready to hand in, but this wasn't the real reaon. The theme had been lying on his desk when he went to bed ... it had somehow slipped to the floor . . . someone had stepped on it . . . the paper was covered with big, ugly brown blotches. Eut it really didn't make any difference anyway. He didn't wake up till 10 a.m. To Your Health! In AmariSo, Texas, determined to prevent her husband from having his Sunday bottle of beer, Mrs. Gertrude Camile drove her car through the saloon doorway, tore off 12 feet of wall in a run that caused $1000 damage to the bar, stepped out into the wreckage-strtwn mess and clubbed her husband with a two-by-four.

Whether people suppose that I am the edi tor in disguise, or what, I have not the vaguest notion. Let it be understood that I do not mind playing Mother Confessor to the many disgruntled readers of our paper, for it is comforting to know that we have readers. I do object, however, to those readers who (1) can't remember which column it is that they ob ject to, (2) have nothing construc Nebraskan Letterip ' StudentsMisled To The Editor: There seems to be an idea preva lent among us students and voiced editorially by The Nebraskan that we students "have a right" to be consulted in matters relating to ad ministration of the University. Nowhere in the regulations gov erning the administration of this state institution are there provi sions for student participation in the actual governing process. The fact that students serve on several faculty committees as vot ing members is a privilege ex tended by the faculty. It is fortunate indeed that some administrators are interested in what the students think or desire witness the Cornhusker Round table but there is no pretense of representative democracy (in the sense of student participation) in the governmental organization of the school. We must face the fact that we don't now have a right to be con sulted as some students seem to believe, whether we think we should or not. We are misled by what some times seem to be overtures to stu dent opinion from certain admin istrative officials. What usually is being solicited is student leaders' support for policies already etab- lished by the crown without con sultation with student opinion. To cry abridgement of our "rights" is not realistic; we are heard at all only through the ef forts of a few faculty members. Interested Student What's Ecnad? To The Editor: What is the Ecnad?

Should a blue light be used more often than a red? What kind of effect does a violet Light have on merchandise? In recent years, color lighting has become so important in stores, restaurants, theaters, and displays that General Electric developed a line of new easy-to-use color-reflector lamps lot this market. The man responsible for deciding which colors are most effective for users of these Lamps is 29-year-old Charles N. ClarL, Ap plication Engineering Color Specialist for General Elcctric's large lamp department. Clark's Wor k Irrtmitinf, Important In a recent series of tests, Clark made a critical appraisal of literally hundreds of color-filter materials to find the ones that produced maximum results but were still suitable to high-production techniques, prac tical stocking and simplified selling. This experimental work also had to take into account all the information on human per ception of color. 25,0 CsHeze Equates at General Electric When Clark came to General Electric in 1949, he already knew the work he wanted to do.

For the past few weeks we have been reading in The Nebraskan about the isteady decline of tra ditions on the University campus. Well move over Kosmet Klub; here comes another one! Not that we went to cast any doubt as to the competency of the judges perish the thought! It just seems a little strange when the most surprised people on cam pus after the winners are an nounced are the winners them selves. Now, as we understand it, house displays were supposed to have been judged on originality and workmanship. "Wha hoppen?" To be blunt, the judges' decision made the display competition a farce. We would like to ask the judges the following questions: (1) Just what were the displays judged on? It is quite obvious that originality and, workmanship didn't enter into the dec.:sion. (2) When was it announced that there be a "grand championship" or was this innovation made by the judges or the announcer at th dance? (3) Also, where were all the honorable mentions? It is quite obvious that there will be no incentive to work on a house display if the displays are to be judged on some undefined "in tangible" quality. Is it too much to ask for some statement 'rom the judges to support their "con clusions?"
