Cop Commodity Collapses:
Beanie Tradition Fading
Fast On Nebraska Campus
An -old college tradition is appar
ently waning on the University
ampu.
The scarlet beanie with white
graduation numeral which has been
the identifying mark of University
freshmen for many years is fad
ing fast from the campus scene.
In the all of 19"0, well over 1,200
freshman beanies were sold by
Coed Counselors and Innocents dur
ing New Student Week activities.
Sales this year are behind last
year's total of 575 after a week
Mortar Board
To Instigate
Bachelor Plan
The 'Mortar Boards are instigat
ing a new plan for the nomination
and selection of the annual campus
Eligible Bachelors according to
Shari Hall, treasurer of the group.
In order that the six traditional
bachelors might be presented
to
the campus tnrougn uie luiiuiu-
er, the contest will be held a se-
mester earlier this year, Miss Hall
reported. j
Miss Hall explained that in order
for an organized house to nominate
eligible bachelors it must have at
least one Corn Cob worker.
Starting ten days before Thanks- Innocents, senior men's honorary
giving the only sales of year books for Homecoming and Ivy Day ex
will be through these workers, ; penses.
Miss Hall stated.
For each 25 books an organized
house sells, according to Miss
Hall, It may nominate one candi
date for eligible bachelor.
The members of Mortar Board
will interview the contestants on
Tuesday December 11 in the "Union
and seiect 12 from the group.
Six eligible bachelors will then
be selected by four local oeleb
reties, Miss Hall said.
Bev Buck, editor of the Corn
busker which is co-sponsoring the
contest, stated that the twelve
nominees to be picked by the Mor- j
tar Board, will tentatively be an- j
iiomiced at the Coed Follies.
Miss Buck stated she hoped that
the University students would show j
as much enthusiam for the bach- j
elors as the normal interest In the
annual campus beauty queens.
Last year's eligible bachelors
were Bill Hatcher, Gary Dough
erty, Larry Epstein, Jim Kubaki, (
Ron Nathan, and Bill Thomson.
Others nominated were Claude
Borrenkman, Charles Tsnukalas,

lock, beanie-drive ohairman for the
Innocents.
What has weakened the tradition
is uncertain. Beginning in 1950
when 1,2BS were sold, each year has
shown a slight decrease to a to
tal of l,0f,5 in 1955. The big d.rop
came m 1936 when only 575 were
sold.
Approximately 550 have been
sold on oampus thus far this year.
In the year's past both the Coed j
Counselors and Innocents sold the '
red and white helmets but, due to j
iacK oi jiaies, Mea ixwnseiors
dropped their beanie-selling pro
gram this year.
In the "'good old" days, before
the time of Ivy League slouch hats,
it was unheard of not to wear a
freshman beanie Wintil the first
snowfall it was mandatory.
Nearly every fraternity on the
campus required freshman pledges

The invitations ask that each.
house nominate a candidate for
Honorary Producer and sell Uni
versity Theatre season tickets to
support that candidate. The two
houses selling the most tickets in
proportion to membership will be
winners.
These houses will each receive
a trophy and the picture of the
two producers will be printed in
eacn tneatre program.
Weatherford, president of Mas
quers, said that selling tickets
should be easier this year than
ever before. "We have planned
perhaps the most popular season
we have ever had," he said.
University Theatre will produce
"What Every Woman Knows,"
"Ondine," "The Teahouse of the
August Moon, The Lark," and
"The Old Maid and the Thief," an
opera. Weatheriord noiea that
three of these shows were top suc
cesses on Broadway, that another
is an bid favorite which has been
going strong lor many years and
thut the opera is by one of the
most exciting of young composers,
Cinn-Curlo Menotti, whose musical
play '"The OonBul" was a bigh
point of the University Theatre
season three yours ago.
He also stated that the bargain
price of season tickets should
make the selling job easy. "The
cost of individual tickets will be
$1.50. But by buying a season tick
et, tht purchaser gets five seats
for five dollars a saving of $2.5(1.
More than that, if a group buys
ten or more tickets, they get them
for Jour dollars apiece."

ticipation in the campaign, "Weath
