Conservative Estimate
Ml
The long and hotly contest
ed controversy over the se
lection of Homecoming
Queen candidates jumped in
to the spotlight of campus
opinion in a
fire works
filled session
of Student
Council
W e d n e s
day. It seems
that tht way
a girl get to
be a Home
c o m i n e
Queen under Hoerner
the present system goes
something like this:
When she is still a fresh
man she and one other girl
are selected to represent
their house at a tea given by
Tassels. At this tea the Tas
sel organization decides
which one of these girls will
be a Tassel next year. . .
Step Number One
This girl works long and
hard in Tassels and when she
gets to be a junior her house
gets a letter saying in es
cence: The homecoming elec
tion is coming up, your jun
ior Tassel is Ardith Mae
Turipseed. We of Tassles
feel that she is eminently
qualified to be your Home
comin Queen candidate and
so she will be unless you
would care to make a sub
stitution. (One house this year cared
to make a substitution).
Step Number Two
A board consisting of the
Yell King, president of Corn
Cobs, president of N Club, a
faculty advisor, and three
Tassels selects five finalists
from these candidates.
Step Number Three
A monster rally is held at
which the five finalists are
announced. After the rally
the 900 or so students at the
By John Hoerner
rally flock into the coliseum
and vote for THEIR choice.
At Last
The new procedure rec
ommended by the Student
Council would change this
procedure so that theoreti
cally any qualified girl would
have an equal chance to be
Homecoming Queen.
The inclusion on the Inter
viewing board of the BABW
president and Panhell presi
dent in place of two Tassels
would eliminate that organi
zation's near-control of this
board.
The elimination of the Tas
sel letter, which announces
the election while at the
same time recommending a
Tassel candidate, would give
each house a chance to elect
anyone they desired.
As T. C. Smith, chairman
of the council activities com
mittee, pointed out, the sis
terhood is so close in sorori
ties that it would be almost
impossible for another girl to
oe suDsmuiea lor me junior
Tassel under the present
system without causing hurt
feelings.
While I disagreed with her
viewpoint on almost every
thing she said in defense of
Tassels' present procedure I
would like to publicly con
gratulate Jolaine Loseke,
Tassels council representa
tive, on her fine defense of
that organization's views.
Miss Loseke stood up and
told the Council exad'y what
she thought in no uncertain
terms. For this she deserves
the admiration of all of Us.
There are too many "mem
bers" on Student Council,
various campus committees
and organizations, and even
legislative bodies on the state
and national levels.
It is a real thrill to see a
representative take the floor
for a change.

From the Slot
. . . by George Moyer
As a reward for many heroic space filling adventures
on the editorial page, our noble leader, editor Ernie Hines
has decided to endow me with a regular column of my own.
Moreover, he has decided that it should be dignified
with a name to give it a distinction beyond the mundane
Staff Views tag to which the rest of the
news side is accustomed.
The name selected refers to the prac
tice common to most daily newspapers
(yes folks, we are a newspaper) of seating
their managing editor in the middle of a
slot cut into a round table known as the
copy desk.
From this slot, the managing editor is
supposed to supervise the operations of
assigning heads to stories, making sure the
stories are well-written and correct, and
placing them in their respective positions
on the newspaper dummy sheet.
The moral of this story is: Don't volunteer to write for
the editorial page or you too will find yourself trying des
perately to fill a quantity of alloted inches within an atloted
deadline.
The other day, I dropped into the Crib, plopped down
in the booth marked Union Stockholders and lit up a Lucky
Strike.
No doubt in retaliation (because it was his cigarette
I was smoking), my friend across the table pointed a coffee
stained finger at me and said accusingly:
"Yob never take a stand on anything. You are wishy
washy."
To satisfy my antagonist and fellow columnist Dick
Tempero, I will today take a stand on something.
Recently, there passed through the copy desk a story
in which Nebraska's school administrators cried foul at the
Greek rushing system.
In assuming this position, the school administrators
look a little like a New York Yankee who has just discov
ered that Warren Spahn has picked him off first base in
the ninth inning of the deciding game of the world series.
First, the school administrators included sororities in
their charge. Since sororities do not conduct a summer
rush program, the school administrators must be talking
about some other school.
Second, they claim that "the pressures of social life in
a fraternity Jeopardize the academic standing of college
freshmen.
This neatly overlooks the fact that about the same
proportion of non-fraternity freshmen flunk out as fra
ternity. Moreover, it overlooks the academic pressure which
fraternities put on their pledges to nake a good average.
Enforced pledge study hall and quiet hours, tutoring ses
sions with scholastically secure actives and Friday and
Sunday night campuses for frosh with downslips are never
mentioned by the school administrators.
Third, the charge that summer rushing is the culprit
Is downright ridiculous. Unless a rushee is going to sum
mer school, it Is hardly Hkely that one or two visits by a
fraternity man during the summer, will jeopardize his
average.
The school administrators are obviously searching for
a scapegoat. They have been wrong for a long time on
what kind of college preparatory classes a high school
should offer and they refuse to admit it.
A sound background in English fundamentals, a re
quired four year math-course, a required four year science
course, and the deletion of shop, band, home ec, mechan
ical drawing, typing and other such nonessentials would go
much further toward solving the problem than an ill-considered
attack on the time honored whipping boy the frater
nity system.

Organizes
versity chapter of the Student
National Education Associa
tion will be held Monday at
4 p.m. in 200A, Teachers Col
lege. The organization is the na
tional professional association
for college and university stu
dents preparing to teach. Its
purposes are to develop pro
fessional competence, to gain
understanding of the history
of teaching and to provide ex
periences which will interest
students in teaching as a ca
reer.
At Monday 's meeting the
constitution will be organ
ized and the membership
drive started.
"Our constitution will be
charted from national in one
month," Janet Anderson,
membership chairman said.
Dues of the organization
are $2.50, of which $2 goes for
national dues and 50c for lo
cal. Temporary officers are
Judy Keenan, president; Lois
Dean, secretary and Janet
Anderson, membership chairman.
The impact of the teacher's
personality in the classroom
this is where teaching be
gins Dean W. K. Beggs, dean
of Teachers College, told the
initiates and members of Pi
Lambda Theta at their initi
ation banquet Thursday evening.
Forty-five girls were initi
ated into the national honor
ary and professional associa
tion for women in education.
"Teaching has nothing to do
with the great knowledge a
teacher must have. It starts
after the teacher gets into
the classroom," Dean Beggs
stressed.
The determining factor of
the success of an education
system lies where the teach
er meets the learner, he said.
The dean stated that "while
there are many people in
volved in the education sys
tem and many policies de
cided at the national level, the
real job is done by the teach
er at the teaching level."
If the present education
system ever breaks down, it
won't be at the philosphical
level, he added, it will be at
the teaching level when com
munication is lacking between
the teacher and the learner,
Fran Gourlay, president of
Pi Lambda Theta presided at
the banquet.
An honored guest was Miss
Luvicy Hill, a University fac
ulty member in Business Ed
ucation and a charter mem
ber of Nebraska's chapter.
The initiates are: Ruth Adams. Mary
Pat Arbuthnot, Patricia Ann Arnold,

AUF Says Thanks
I would like to thank all
the students who volunteered
this year to canvass the Lin
coln independent students. I
wish I could personally thank
every independent student,
sorority girl and IFC volun
teer for all the time each
gave to AUF. It takes not
only money but also gener
ous amounts of time to make
the Independent Drive a suc
cess. When students respond in
this way, I know that AUF's
two-fold goal of making stu
dents aware of the value of
chairty as well as donating
money is being accomplished.
