Editorial Comment:
Ivy Day Tradition High,
Interest Sometimes Low
This weekend marks that time of year
which probably holds the most memories
for the majority of University graduates,
which probably is the most exciting to
more undergraduates than any other, per
haps save the splashy Homecoming week
tad h the fall. .
R might be said that the annual events
of the v Ivy. Day weekend make up the
greatest part of that intangible of Ne
braska "tradition."
Spring Day of course is relatively new.
It along with ivy Day and the many other
vents of the weekend the Student Union
BirtMay, party. Engineering Week, re
unions, banquets provide for fun and en
tertainment as well as mystery and tra
dition. Probably the biggest event of the entire
weekend, however, in the minds of the
majority of the students is the afternoon
of Ivy Day, when the mystics of Innocents
toetaty and Mortar Board tackle and mask
teeir successors,
lHrtiapt this it the proper thing; three
yean of hard work in activities and with
the retention of at least a relatively high
degree of scholastic success deserves a
hand of applause.
The lysUry of the choice especially
excites interest which draws big crowds to
the maskingi and tacMisgs.
Yet generally numbers are quite mea
pc daring other ceremonies on Ivy Day.
Entrance of the Ivy Day Court and crown
ing ef the May Queen, it would seem,
would stir up more interest than it does,
specially among the coeds of the Uni
versity. But the majority of the spectators at
fee morning Court ceremonies generally
are parents and relatives of the royalty.
Student response is iow.
Next come the Men's and Women's Ivy
Day sings. These events, it seems, should
draw the greatest number of observers
those who want to see their group in ac
tion staging and cheering for a win, wheth
er out of interest in the job done or mere
ly but of loyalty to the group. .
But the student number really doesn't
start to bunch up until the mystics get
ready to reveal the junior honorees.
It is hoped this year that the student
body remembers that Ivy Day is NlTs big
day of tradition. Hundreds of us cry for
the lack of tradition on this campus, yet
when the day of highest tradition arrives,
half the events are forgotten so stayed
away from in droves.
Ivy Day is a day for students, hence
student participation would be expected
to be high. '
As mentioned above, this weekend is
one of the biggest all-around for the cam
pus, yet it would seem that more could be
made of it, not so much on the student
side, but for prospective University stu
dents and the general public.
A few years ago, not only the engineer- (
ing departments but nearly every Univer
sity department set up displays and took
part in a campaign to "selT the Univer
sity to prospective students and the pub
lic. The plan has been abandoned, but has
been a topic of debate recently by at least
one University service roganization, A lot
of planning, a whole year, is involved, but
it could produce a wealth of results.
The Ivy Day weekend would be the ideal
time for such an event The drawing pow
er would be there and increased- Apd the
many parents and others who annually
come could see the results of student work
and University progress both at the same
time.
Setting up this addition to the Ivy Day
weekend would take a host of time, liasion
and cooperation. But then the University
-might possess an annual event with the
fame of Veisbea at Iowa State or C. U.
Days at the University of Colorado.
If that is what we want, we have the
means to achieve it

Once upon a time there was a gentleman
whom, for the lack of a better same, we
shall cal Dick Hardy. Mr. Hardy was the
organizer, sole member, president and
what-have-you of an organization knows as
the Camera Club of Nebraska.
Thursday afternoon of last week be ap
peared att the office of the Daily Nebraskaa
with aa article about a contest being spon
sored by this club (at which time seemed
te be a legitimate organization) involving
SIX CBCU. AilCBC wot
supposedly finalists for the
title of "Miss Nebraska
Pome Queen.'" The queen,
as Mr. Hardy explained it,
would be selected by vote of
the members of the Camera
dub at their convention In
Lincoln at the Cornhusker
Hotel, April 29, this coming
Friday and also Spring Day.
As farther proof, Mr.
d-r notlf-l m troobv out
ef a sack which would be awarded te the
ejneea. I weald roughly estimate the value
ef fte trophy at W to $18.
Saturday, 1 found a note on my desk that
aid the Camera Club convention bad been
cancelled and that there would be no con
test for Miss Nebraska Poise Queen. So,
that was that. At least until last might when
a leiow columnist and one of the ""canddi
Utas" approached me with the information
that the whole convention and contest was
a big hoax, planned and executed by Mr.
Hardy.
This candidata" told me that when she
returned to the sorority bouse Thursday
Sight, there was a message for her that
she was one of the six finalists for the title
of ""Miss Nebraska Poise Queenr Now,
this seemed a little odd to her, since she
bad sot been notified earlier that she was
even aa entrant in the contest, let alone
a finalist
She (Mai pay any attention to the first
Besse?e, bat whea she received two mes
sages Friday saying that It was important
that she call him about the contest, which
she did. But, instead of getting him, she
fraud set that be had left the phone number
of the forests of a friead ef his, whs told
the '"candidate that they didst know any
thing about the centesL
When she did get in touch with Mr.
Hardy, be told her that she should appoint
a representative in the bouse who would be
given 10 tickets to sell to other girls in the
sorority at 50 cents apiece, each ticket
worth a vote at the convention. The '"candi
date"'' did appoint a representative, but said
she would not ask the girls to buy tkktts.
During this conversation Mr Mardy ex
plained to the "-candidate" that another
member of the "club," who lived in the
dorm, had started the idea for the contest
and although he said he was not completely
in favor jf the idea, Mr. Hardy said be had
decided to go ahead with it. At this time,
the "candidate" thought the whole mess
sounded a little fishy.
The next day, Saturday, Mr. Hardy's
roommate stopped by the sorority house to
see the "candidate and explain to her that
the whole affair was a hoa club, conven
tion, contest and everything.
Mr. Hardy came back to the sorority
later that afternMus to discus? arrange
ments with the "candidate's" representa
tive. However, the "candidate" had told her
ot to have anything to d with the contest,
since it was a hoax. With this confronting
him, Mr. Hardy told the "candidate"" that
if one was dropping eut of the contest, per
haps it would be best to cancel the affair.
He then wanted to know bow be -could
111 the rest of the girls that the contest had
been called off. The "candidate" told him
just te say that the convention had been
cancelled. She added, however, that the
rest of the girls would probably smell some
thing fishy no matter what excuse be gave
Uiiem.
Mr. Hardy said he was going to alts
cancel a story in one of the local papers
and take tbetrepbywuteftbe Student
Union where ft had bees n display.
With that, he was never heard f again.
So, my JxiendR, thaTs the story 1 one of the
bigger hoaxes in a while as tar as campus
hoaxes go The amazing part of the whole
story Vvis the fact that one unknown gentle
man could get away with what be .did for as
long as he did. Ah, well, it makes for va
riety, and variety is the spice of life or so
they tell me.

To The Editor:
The reason that AUF
would not solicit for the
Freedom Fund of the
XAACP is simply that it
could not AUF was formed
originally for the sole pur
pose of slopping that per
s i s t e a t "knock-on-4 h e
door." It solicits only for
those charities which have
first been presented to the
students for their approval
This is AUF"s purpose this
is AUF"s constitution. For
this reason, AUF conducts
only one student drive per
year.
Why would AUF not per
mit the SCC to solicit for
the Freedom Fund?
1) Regardless who is it
lag the solicitatioa, would
it be fair to yea, the stu
dents, to be contacted at
this time? It this what yea
wast? We de aet care, as
Mr. King says '"what the'
ctvdent bedy via think ef
as." We oaiy care that the
stedeat body thinks.
2) Is this aa emergency?
Hasnt the Freedom Fund
already collected enough
money to support the im
mediate cause? Why
couldn't they wait until
fall?
3) Why is at every Ne
gro la the city of Liacela
entirely upset by this plea?
I pset eaeagh to raise nos
ey themselves aad ds seme
thing abest It? Less than
19 of the liacela Negro
Mpulatioa belMg to the
NVACP, Rev. Everett S. . r
Re yields, membership JjreaklaSt
caairmaa ae biietii
branch ef the NAACP told
AIT.
4) What would happen
: to j our money if there were
no longer a need for fine
money and bailing fees?
"Your money would not be
returned," stated Rev. Rey
nolds in the Thursday might
meeting. We can well as
sume that it would then go
into the general purse of
the NAACP. Do you know
lor what you would be con
tributing? ..
Perhaps M is tree that
AIT became emaecessarily
involved, is the fnndamea
tals of parliamentary prs
cedure. Precisely, what
has that to do with the
plea by the Freedom Fand?
They were give mere chaa
enoub time and epporta
uilv u air their case.
A representative for the
SCC was even allowed to
stay in a dosed session of
AUF. (A closed session im
plying confidential proceed
ings . If this is not demo
cratic, we are certainly liv
ing under the wrong defini
tion of the term. AUF took
two different meetings to
carefully consider the cause
of the Freedom Fund.
Several suggestions were
offered to the SCC.
1) If students really want
to give to this cause, they
can certainly make the ef
fort to take the elevator to
the third fleer ef the Sta
dent Uaioa aad somehow
locate the YWCA efnee.
They might even mail a
check.
2) It was promised that
AUF will place the Free
dom Fund on the fall poXL
Naturally, the Freedom
Fund will be thoroughly
investigated by the Better
Business Boreas before
even being submitted to the
students. It will then be a
simple matter of gaining
student consent before tak
ing action.
We ask you. What is the
purpose of AUF if it is not
an organizing and protect
ing body to help you? Is
this, Mr. Else, such a tri
vial job? Perhaps you
would Just as soon be bar
raged by the ever-present

Before you kiddies start
for home and the long va
cation, Mother Miller would
like to give you some ad
vice. Now, you're going to do
a lot of talking while you're
home, and it's important
for the good of the school
that you watch your
tongues.
Several weeks ago James
Gunn, the administrative
assistant for Kansas Uni
versity relations, said NU
students were fostering poor
relations for that school.
"If students spoke honest
ly about the University, we
would have better public
relations," Gunn said.
That's the trouble with
our institution. The admin
istrators don't dictate what
we should say whea we go
heme. Consequently, we
have a quality here like
they're trying to develop at
Kansas University.
Mimeographed sheets of
what to say when answer
ing parents embarassing
questions should have been
distributed by the adminis
tration. Since this hasn't
been done. I'M going to
give you answers to ques
tions you might be asked.
.And remember, you may
disagree with these answers
at time, but give them any
way. They're the "favor
able" answers, you might
say. They're the kind of
answers that will let people
know this school is inter
ested in quality.
Question: "Why, sea,
yea're heme already."
Answer: "Kansas State
University is a fine institu
tion with fine buildings
taught by a fine faculty in
fine buildings."
Qaestioa: "Care for some
more of ma's cherry pie?"
Answer: "Outstanding ad
ministrative super
vision provides each stu
dent with an excellent bal-'
ance of study and recrea
tion." QnestHMi: "Hew are jos
deiag ia year college
, courses?"
Answer: "My name is
John Henry Quirt. I am a
sophomore in mechanical
engineering at k a n j a s
State University. Thft is
all I'm required to answer
according to University
law."
