tion endorsed the program which
started "as a drive by a few stu
dents and ended in increased spir
it for the entire campus."
Navy Constitution
John Kinnier, Judiciary Commit
tee Chairman, recommended the
Constitution of the - Midshipmen's
Batallion Recreation Council be ap
proved by the Student Council.
This motion was carried and the
MBRC Constitution was approved
unanimously. The former consti
tution which they submitted was
rejected since it made member
ship and dues in the organization
compulsory for all Navy students.
This clause was struck from the
approved constitution. The consti
tution of Mu Episilon Nu was al
so approved by the Council.
Queen Elections
Connie Hurst, chairman of the
Activities Committee reported on
the Homecoming Queen election
procedure. The Student Council
recommended this year that Tas
sels in the future announce their
candidates for Homecoming Queen
in The Daily Nebraskan prior to
the election.
A letter was read from the Tas
sels president, Jan Shrader which
explained why this was not done
this year. For next year's election,
the Tassels have proposed that the
rally be held on a Thursday night,
at which time the candidates would
be announced, with the election
and the announcement in the Daily
Nebraskan on the next day, Fri
day morning. The Council voted
to send a letter of approval to the
Tassels organization.
Bob Ireland, chairman of the Mi
gration Committee, reported that
a comparatively small number of
students would be going to the
Missouri game this year. Ireland
attributed the Asian Flu and the
lack of recreational facilities as
the major causes.
Tom Smith made a motion
which the Council passed, that
their representative to the All
University Parking Committee
urge an investigation of the main
tenance of the University's park
ing lots.
Where Your Money Goes:
Two More Funds Listed
This is the third article in the
series, "Where Your Money Goes,"
concerning contributions collected
by the All University Fund. The
articles will explain each of the
charities that AL'F will donate to
this year, and the various purposes
the charity serves.
Hy LINDA WALT
AUF Assistant
Twenty per cenf of the money
collected during the All University
Fund drive will go to the National
Association for Mental Health, a
national charity, and ten per cent
of the money will be given to the
Lancaster Association for Retarded
Children, a local charity.
Promoting good mental health
and preventing mental and emo
tional illness are the first aims of
the Mental Health Association.
Money given to Mental Health will
go to the Nebraska division of this
national charity to be used for re
search and cure within the state.
One out of every ten Americans
is suffering from some form of
mental or emotional disorder. At
least 65 per cent of these people
could get well with proper treat
ment, but so few are getting it that
today there are more than 750,000
patients in mental hospitals. This
is more than there are in all other
hospitals combined.
Funds contributed to the National

Ellington
Broadway
Duke Ellington, who will play at
the Homecoming Dance this week
end, has spent thirty successful
years in show business yet can
still compete with such modern
bands as Ray Anthony, Count
Basie, and Louie Armstrong as
one of the leading swing men of
the modern age.
Duke's closest musical ties are
with Billy Strayhorn, his sidekick
for almost two decades. Stray
horn's writing for the band so
closely resembles Ellington's own
that veteran bandsmen are some
times unable to tell where one
ends and the other begins.

Ignores
Chances
ELLINGTON
With such an adroit pair of ar
rangers and writers in the same
corporation, Duke's friends have
often pressured him to give up
touring with his band and stay in
New York. They point out that
his services would be in demand
to score Broadway shows and he
also might do something about
acquiring the TV show that has
long been his wish.
The Duke's classic reply has al
ways been, "I'm not worried about
creating music for posterity. I just
want it to sound good right now.
Besides, I want to have my boys
around to play the music I do
fwrite."
This relationship between the
Duke and "his boys" is illustrated
by the examples of men who have
stepped off the bandstand to form
their own groups to the echo of
Duke's "They'll be back."
In a matter of months or years,
this has always proved true. John
ny Hodges, Ray Nause and Cant
Andersen, featured - members of
the 1957 orchestra, had at one
time left to launch ventures of
their own.
Homcoming Dance ticket sales
are now in progress. Tickets may
be purchased from any Tassal or
Corn Cob or in the Union. Tassals
treasurer, Georgann Humphrey
reported that Tassals and Cobs
would begin decorating the Coli
seum for the dance Friday night
after the pep rally.
