L'il Politician Catches
There are Pogo people lurking
behind every corner of the campus
waiting to nab any innocent passer-by
and cram an election ques
tionnaire down his throat.
The mad rush is on! Yesterday
1500 copies of freshly printed Pogo
election questionnaires were placed
in the Nebraskan office and with
in an hour they had all been
snatched up by eager Pogo chair
men. This means that there are over
2600 questionnaires either filled out
or menacing the public at this
time. It appears that the Nebras
kan is holding one of the most
comprehensive surveys of cam
pus political opinion in all of his
tory. Yesterday another wire was fran
tically sent to the National Pogo
Headquarters requesting an imme
diate shipment of campaign but
tons. The demands for these buttons
are increasing every day.
There was a big political caucus
held behind closed doors yester
day in the Lancaster Pogo for
President Headquarters with only
the top strategists sitting in. This
was definitely a closed session and
the press was barred.

IFC Officers' Discussion
Interfraternity Council officers
discuss rushing and spiking rules
at the IFC meeting Wednesday.
Wednesday:
IFC Discusses. Interpretation
01 Mew Hushing, Spilling Rules
By FRED DALY
Managing Editor
Misunderstandings of this fall's
rushing rules were discussed in
the Interfraternity Council meet
ing Wednesday by the IFC execu
tive council and representatives
from the various houses.
New IFC rushing rules do not
prohibit spiking, which is the giv
ing of, pledge pins before a man
can legally pledge according to a
number of representatives, this
new rule was not realized by some
houses, who thought that Dledee
pins could not be given to rushees
before they could legally pledge.
Old rushing rules, which were
thrown out by the IFC last year,
prohibited under penalty of fine
the giving of pledge pins before
authorized periods during rush
week.
"There is nothing in the rules
against the giving of pledge pins,"
Sam Ellis, IFC president said.
"We are going to do all we can
to prevent spiking," he added.
One fraternity member attend
ing the meeeting observed that
legalized spiking as such was de
feated twice last year.
Ben Belmont, IFC treasurer, an
swered that "the IFC would not
endorse spiking last year." The
only way the IFC can interpret
spiking is if a man forced to join
a fraternity by obligation, he said.
When a man signs his pledge
assumption card, the IFC can only
assume that it is the house he
wants, Belmont said. The IFC in
structs rushees that they are not
obligated to any house to pledge
until they can legally sign their
pledge assumption cards during
rush week.

Mu, asked the executive council

Miss Nebraska, Diane Knotek
and Miss Nebraska contestant in
the Miss Universe contest, Shari
Lewis, are the honorary co-chair
men of the Pogo campaign. Both
will attend a Monday dinner at the
fraternity house which accumulates
the most possum points.
For each person who fills out a
questionnaire and agrees to wear
the Pogo button for an hour every
day between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.,
the sponsoring group will receive
one possum point.
Nebraskans who haven't speci

The executive council answered
that t)ie IFC removed all the old
rush week rules last fall to make
way for new rules to be proposed
by a special committee headed
by ji Pickard, .Kappa Sigma
Pickard's committee made
number of proposals to the IFC
Some were accepted, some dropped
and a few amended and then ac
cepted. Among those voted down
was a proposal that spiking be
legalized, without legally binding
the rushee who might accept a pin
After the IFC elected new of
ficers last spring, a new rush
week committee headed by vice-
president Bob Cook took the pro
posals of Pickard's committee that
were passed by the IFC and used
them as a base for a complete set
of rush week rules.
This set of rules was brought
before the IFC and passed. The
rules were then put into the IFC
by-laws and were binding for this
falls rush week
Cook's rush week committee is
in the process of being reorgan
ized, and will continue the study
of rush week this fall,

These were the words of Pete

into the Bucks until All-American
halfback Hopalong Cassady pulled
them out of the fire with two
timely touchdown runs in the last
half.
Elliott has made no changes in
the two first lineups that went
against the South Dakota Coyotes
in Memorial Stadium.
Marlin Hilding and Mike Lee are
holding down the end slots on the
first team. Right behind 1 1 e m

over Jerry Peterson and Jack
Fleming at the tackles. All four
are lettermen.
