Breathless Spirit
Couldn H Do It
By Mack Lundstrom
Managing Editor
You couldnt have heard it if vou had put vour ear
right up next to it because 9.000 crazy Cornhusker fans
were literally lifting the Coliseum from its very foundation.
But that iron lung was rasping and wheezing to keep
Kansas State's most loyal fan alive.
You wouldn't have even noticed him except for a nar
row isle amidst that throng of spectators, but he was
there giving his alma-mater his avid support.
That man's name is Craig Birtell of Topeka, Kans.
He has been in that iron monster for a year and a half but
he persuaded the respiratory center in Omaha to let him
come down to watch the game. You could see a little
disappointment on his face, but he took it in stride.
With about two minutes left, he quipped. "WeiL are
you going to get another free day tomorrow?"
Chancellor Clifford Hardin, with speechless congratu
lations for the victorious Bushmea, answered Birteli's
question following the game "They tthe students made
their decision a week ago Sunday; I'll think they'll live
up to it"
Meanwhile, down in the showers, they did it again
ruined another one of Jerry Bush's suits and then they
all went swimming.
Back in the locker room, half the crowd was waiting
for them but over on the other side, all was quiet, the
door was locked. But, it didn't matter, no one cared about
the sad, sad faces of the No. 1 basketball team in the
nation.
Back on the floor, they were at it again. The other
half of the crowd was watching a free-for-all for the nets.
There were many a shred of cord that found their way out
of the Coliseum in a happy Husker fan's hand.
And. down at the far end of the court. Craig Birtell
was lying in his wheel chair trading woeful comments
with his Kansas friends.
He had given tne Wildcats his undying spirit, but they
couldn't beat the Huskers no one could have last night.

But his comment wasn't the
official word of the council,
as he pointed out.
Alfred Calvert, director of
the Men's residence halls
commented that he thought
the girls were more respon
sible for the rioting than the
boys. "It's just like in '54",
Calvert said.
"When the girls yell Vome

low is any kind of a man,
he's going to try," Calvert
concluded.
More shouts from the street
raged, "We want panties."
The police directed their red
and white flash lights on the
windows which girls
had opened in the dorm and
were leaning from. Mere "All
right, girls, that's enough"
seemed to settle most of the
gals looking for some atten
tion from the excited boys.

there's plenty of trouble
here at XU.
But you're just a piker if
you let little things like
those bother you ... at
least that's what some stu
dents at America's colleges
and University's would have
you believe.

a move is afoot to get him
out of his swivel chair!
Or at Syracuse University
in Mew York the main prob
lem the students (and es
pecially the sophomores )
are facing is the parking
nemesis.
Gene Mearns of Syracuse
reports that next year's
sophomores may be walk
ing to class. "The first step
to promote such action w as
taken by the Joint Student
Legislature when it passed
a resolution calling for this
action," Gene writes.
A University sopkesman
said that there will be an
administrative decision on
the suspension which will be
made public in the near fu
ture. Daily Orange wTiter
Mearns points out, "Six
thousand seven hundred
automobiles are now parked
each day in an area that
was never intended for that
purpose. When the Univer
sity was in its infancy the
horse was king and automo
bDes and the resultant
parking problems were not
considered in the laying out
of the streets."
But until a definite deci
s i o n is reached, smart
Orangemen will practice
some route-step marching if
they w ant to get f r ra

Camus police chief Ivan
Walton met with two boys
accused of being the ace-
hurlers. But the boys said
only this, "We said we did
not throw any firecrackers,
but did not deny having
them."
The police boss added to
the questions raised by Iowa
State paper, "They didn't
have much to say on the
score."
The director of student
affairs, anderstaudabiy cha

over the question of admit

the campus scroll "For
those in favor of establish

constructive suggestion. We
all know the importance of
organization. In order to
start the ball rolling we have
to know the advantages and
disadvantages which might
creep up in establishing so

The suggestion?
