Coimcil Candidates
What might have been a help to the
student voter ia the elections Mcrtday
tunned oil to be a f-tie attempt to
gather opinion.
Tbe Daily Nebraskaa thought it would
be nice to End out what candidates for
the student council had to offer ia the
may cf ideas and what we came up with
was a minute sampling of the candi
dates positions.
Y"hat we're pretty much convinced of
Is that the student councd has deterior
ated into Just another activity oa the
campus and the people running for of
fice are tttle peop'e with the thought in
mind that to be concosisutal is better
thaa ta make enemies.
Coinmeats raa the fa mot from, I
kope everytne rates. This is a chance
fer the students to elect represented es

Interests,"' to I believe that most of tie
grteps kave beea taking a sincere in
terest ia tbe CccbcO aad I tape that I
may d as well, U -I dat have any
emmeBts at the moment.
Not, you see, these comments can.e
from people who will be oa the ballot (!)
Monday and from w bora you will select
people to control the activities, the for
tunes cf the students. Too bad. isn't it?
Now you might say it's unfair for the
Daily Nebraskaa to say such things
when so few were interviewed. We in
terviewed four candidates from the
Teachers College and one candidate
from Easiness Administration. No one
else could be found during the afternoon
of the po3. Perhaps they were out in
stilling Nebraska spirit ia their fellow
students. Perhaps not.
Bat the Daily Nebraskaa was gig
to endorse candidates wee we thought
would da a good job, stand for the tilings
which representatives should stand (or
(student tribunal, boosing, parking, etc.)
It seems, however, that the Daily Ne
braskaa can't in good faith endorse anyone!

Now, cant yosi just see one

and just not get back up?
This would certainly put a
damper on what is supposed
to be a damp ivy Day any
how.
And speaking cf jittery peo

Kind words are cer

boipe there are years tij crae

Yea teow the cuse 1 mean.
It's that jewel that starts cot
wsrJto the startling statement
that ""River City's pass have

Bat it's that band that real
ly g!s me. First cf all there
are T trambaces. This strikes
me as a siEgulartr EKmber
cf trisnibwes, but, dae to the
numbers of other instruments
involved, maybe not.
Right behind those 76 trom
bones are 110 coronets. And
then there are 1.OJ0. at the
bare minimum, reeds, which
for some reason are spring
ing up like weeds.
And then comes the clinch
er. 50 mounted canons are in
this band. Now I think I've
led a sheltered life, because
in all my 19 years I've never
seen, or until this record came
out heard of, even one canon
in a band. The song says
that these canons '"thunder."
You can bet your sweet Me
that 50 mounted canons will
make quite a bit of '"thunder."
Just so far this band num
bers roughtly 1.2. This
doesn't even begin to take into
account the clarinets which
are not specifically numbered
or the tmpanies. (I'm dying to
see some poor character lug
ging a tympany down the
street and still keep in step
or even walk more than a
block.)
Obviously River City has
one beck off a band. But that
record has definitely got to
go.

and cluster on sundecks and
lawns to lift beautiful, soaring
voices to the sky. To an old
grad driving by on 16th Street,
this sound might bring tear
dimmed memories; to those of
us who havent even been in
vited out to listen, the har
monious voices appear at
times to build tremendous in
creases in volume only to
drown out competitors down
the street.

And as the monotones and
croakers huddle about the
bridge table joking about our
lack of talent, each one of us
deeply wishes for a high
soprano or throaty contratti
voice. Nobody is more "cut of
things" than a non-singer
hovering forlornlv around the
house prior to Ivy Day.

Speaking of Ivy Day, I'm
really getting pretty excited
about the whole thing. There's
that certain air of excitement,
of tense nerves, that make
predictions encompass the
campus before they've reaOy
had a chance to begin. But.
so what if smiles are extra
bright and greetings are extra
cheery; the grass is green,
the bleachers are up, the
daises are growing at their
best for the chain, and Ivy
Day song practice goes on
interminably. Column Judy
Traell.
But on the day before Ivy
Day, Spring Day, the women
f the university will appear
to vie in "athletic contests!"
This is all well and good and
exhilerating. But there is
something Just a little messy
and urEfemmine about plung
ing headfirst into a muddy
ditch in a rope pulling con
test. Hooray for our side if we
win. But I'm a very small and
weak conservative who pre
fers to show athletic prowess
on a dry tennis court in clean
white shorts. (It doesn't make
any difference whether yon
can play tennis like Althea
Gbson either.)
To all intents and purposes
this is probably good clean
fun. but it is slightly reminis
cent of my Freshman days
when I was entered in a
'"break the egg on top of the
head with a dead smelly fish
contest. I pass!
