"2j NraWAFf AIM Homecoming. Elscfion Vlefhod For isusevj Pub Board Election Interviews To Continue The procedure used by Tassels, Women's pep organization, in tbe electio of Homecoming Queea will be reviewed by tbe Student Council ia order to determine if tbe method used by Ibis organiza tion in selecting its candidates for Homecoming Queen is in tbe best interests of tbe entire st u d e o t feody.- This review will be carried out tinder the stipulations of a motion passed in the Council Wednesday to recall the Tassel's constitution. The motion was introduced by Mick Neff, Council vice - presi dent. The motion is not to change the method, Neff said, but to look over the constitution to see if this meth od of choosing Nebraska's Home coming Queen as in the best in terests cf the University. ! Under the present system, five: finalists are chosen by the Tassels from tbe junior class members of tbe organization. The Qu e e n is elected by all-University election two weeks before Homecoming. A number of girls from organ ized houses have objected to the' present method, Neff said, in that the election is not truly representa tive of the University. Girls can be nominated from only one group, 1 the junior tassels, be added.

Last year the bands formed on the field in one minute and three seconds. If tone band makes a mistake, the whole show would be ruined, according to Donald Lentz, director .of the Uni versity hand. John Selleck, comptroller and former acting chancellor ,of the university, was the originator of the Band Day idea. In 1934, Sel leck, then business manager .of tlie athletic department, invited IS city bands to participate. In 1U3H, Leiitz, conductor .of the university band, . restricted attendance to high school bands, and the first true Band Day in the United States was begun. Through the years, not one Band Day has been cancelled; although in 1838, the first Band Day found the bands marching on new fallen snow. Since 'World War H, attendance has increased from 30 bands to the present i86. Because the popu larity of Band Day, Nehraka bonds are mow alluwed io appear only junce tfvery three years.

Tlie manned bands will play Girdiron March," '"Manhattan; Beach March,'' "March of the Comhuskers." "Hail T amity.,' the "Star :ianled Banner. and I large number of independent girls may work in the organixatk. Girls can become members of Tassels if they want, Dave Moss man, Business Administration rep resentative, said. Connie Berry, CCRC representa tive, said "girls dont realize" that membership in Tassels entitles them to be eligible for Homecom ing Queen. Marvin Breslow, senior member, said the motion simply asks that the Council look into the matter, as is their right. Don Beck, Council vice-president, said that the matter should be re ferred to the judiciary committee, and that Friday's election should go on as planned. This was ap proved. The Council derives its right to investigate the constitutions of oth- i er groups from its own constitu- tkm, which enables tbe Council to' call in any student constitution for j review. at any time. j Small Number Of Candidates Due To Chance The small number of junior Tas sels, 18, is merely a matter of chance, according to a Tassel representative. The small number cf juniors from which the Homecoming Cjueen finalists are selected had prompted discussion of a revision of tbe procedure in the Council meeting Wednesday. The five finalists are selected by the members of Tassels on the genera basis of service to the organization. Scholarship, person ality, pep and spirit are other fac tors taken into (consideration. Last year there were approE mately 20 junior Tassels, and there are expected to be more next year than the present number, accord-; ing to Mary Sue Herbek, Tassel secretary. SC Selects Senior Man For Board Marvin Breslow, senior in Arts and Sciences, was named senior student member eff the Board of Student Publications by tbe Student Council Wednesday. Breslow was selected after interviews b y I the C .o u b c li I iof three appli- cants for the position . Ulner appli cants were Charley Trum ble, senior is Ag College, and A r 1 e b e s L f Cmtneny Ltnraln Joarnalttrbek, senior Breslow in Arts and Sciences. Breslow and Hrbek were nominated to the Council 'by the Council's pub board committee, which screened all applicants for the position Tuesday.. Trumble was nominated from the floor of the Council. Because .of lack of time Wednes day, nominees lor the .other two student positions will ibe inter viewed by the Council at next Wednesday's meeting. Positions to be filled are one junior member and a third member either So 'be from the sophomore class .or from the sophomore, junior or senior clasfi.
