"poor turnout", according to
John Glynn, vice president of
the Interfraternity Council.
The IFC suffered an $800 to
$900 loss from the ball, Glynn

Horny Coivs
Plague Grad
Herds of horned cattle in
Africa caused problems for a
Sand Hills native working as
an agricultural missionary in
a leper colony at Kabaji, Afri
ca. Carroll French, a 1954 grad
uate of the University who
now works under the mission
program of the Methodist
Church, reports many varied
diseases among the African
cattle.
A squeeze chute, requested
by French for use in treating
these diseased animals, cre
ated some anxiety for him,
too.
"I hope the chute will ac
commodate cattle with la;ge
horns," he said.
"Being a native of the Ne
braska Sand Hills, I had little,
conception of horned cattle."
The herd of 90 cattle that
grazes near the colony is
mostly scrub stock. I
Five hundred head of catt'e 1
to provide meat to feed the p
tients is the goal of the agri
cultural program. -
Four Selected
To G Theta U
Four University students
have been chosen for mem
bership in Gamma Theta Up
silon, professional fraternity
for geographers.
They are Alan Best, Rich
ard Hodge, Herbert Hansen
and James Rooney.
Polls open today in the Mock
Primary election sponsored by
the Young Republican Club in
an effort to give students a
realistic idea of the voting
process.
The ballot is similar to the
official ballots that will be
marked tomorrow by Nebras
kans voting in the state pri
maries. Write-ins
Young Republicans are ac
tively urging write-in votes,
according, to Ardis Levine,
chairman of the ballot com
mittee.
"We feel we should give the
voters at the University an
opportunity to vote for their
choice and not only for the
candidates who -allow their
names to appear on the bal
lot," she said.
Polls located in Love Li
brary, Social Sciences Build
ing, and the Unions on city
and Ag campus will remain
open until 5 p.m.
Outcome of the election will
be announced this evening aft
er an election board composed
of six club members and pne
student council member tally
the ballots.
When queried about the
Mock Primary held at the
University, Marv Stromer,
executive secretary of the
Republican party in Nebras
ka, stated that a sizable turn
out for the election would ex
hibit an intensive interest in
politics by University stu
dents.
When asked about what he
thought would influence the
election in terms of issues,
Stromer replied that it was
too far ahead in the future
to place any certain weight
on any one factor. Things
change in the minds of the
people overnight, he said.
Own Districts
Wishes have been expressed
by persons not in the Uni
versity for the students to re
main in their districts when
casting their ballots that re
quire voting by districts. Al
so students must show their
ID cards.
"Some parents believe that
their son or daughter is not
as yet qualified to cast their
ballot in an election, yet they
do not themselves take time
to vote," stated Del Rasmus-
sen, Mock Primary head.
"This election gives the stu
dent, regardless of aee a
chance to exercise his right
in selecting nis political
heads." .
Goddess Election

Goddess of Agriculture is be
ing held today in the Ag Stu

chairman of the window paint
ing contest committee.
"An event such as this has
been successfully tried at
other schools, particularly
during football season," said
A. J. Lewandowski, business
manager of athletics.
"I feel that this University's
first attempt at a similar con
test was also very success
ful," he added.
The theme of the contest
was "Husker Sports Caval
cade". A similar contest was
planned last faU for the Okla
homa football game, but it
was cancelled b e c a u s e of
weather conditions, said Nie
baum. Committee members were

'Congratulations'
Ends Chatter
Difficulty
ia the spring at the Uni
versity, one never need be
at a loss for conservation.
"Congratulations," Just
walk up to everyone you
meet, exhuberantly utter
this magic phrase, and you
just about can't go wrong.
The response willbe a
pleased thank-you, and a
grateful smile for having
read about that persons
particular claim to fame.
If they haven't just been
pinned, engaged, tapped,
tackled, elected, selected,
appointed, sworn in, initi
ated, pledged, chosen, hon
ored, recognized or
crowned, maybe they have
just passed an hour exam
and deserve it anyway.

Governors Poll
In a poll of the nation's
governors by the organization
concerning the matter of open
and closed meetings, 24 of the
governors stated a policy
lavonng open meetings. The
statements of nine were too
general for any definite qual
ification. Ten other governors set
stringent limits for the press'
use of information. Another
five failed to answer.
Governor Victor Anderson
was listed among the nine
who stated general policies
but did not pin-point their
views.
In 1957 the organization
drew up two model laws, one
to require open meetings, the
other to require open records.
The reason 31 states still do
not have laws that demand
the meetings of government
bodies be open to the press
and public. And 19 states do
not have laws guaranteeing
citizens the right to inspect
the records of their govern
ment. The campaign for the adop
tion of the laws has seen the
passing of an npen meetings
law in the Michigan Senate
and introduction of similar
bills into state legislatures
in three other states, with
more action expected, Blue
dorn said.
New Members
Initiation of new members
and officers for 1958-59 was
also held. Dick Shugrue was
installed as president; Lyman
Cass will be vice-president,
Bob Ireland will be secretary
