CoiLmcil Offers
Weak Solution
Get out your brass knuckles fellow students. You
may need them Friday night if you plan to attend the pep
rally. It may turn out to be another battle between the
16th Street Sabre Cats versus the R Street Rockets, with
the Vine Street Vampires stepping in for a few pokes now
and then, . ' "
It was quite charitable of the Student Council Wednes
to declare the conduct at least Friday's rally as "unac
ceptable," What it boils down to is a verbal slap of
Freddy Fraternity's hand for clubbing his next door
neighbor over the head with a two by four.
It is a wonder that a resolution of any type was
passed after hearing some of the comment regarding the
resolution. '
Council member Steve Gage felt that a resolution at
this time was not necessary because the competition was
what helped the spirit.
What kind of spirit, we ask, is spirit which is bought
as a result of pledge classes trying to win a two-bit tro'
phy? And is putting a fraternity pledge in Student Health
part of this competition? If this is the only way spirit is
builtat NU, it is not spirit, only bought and paid for en
thusiasm. ,
.Council member Roy Neil stated that the signs def
inately were a good means of displaying pep, but pos
sibly they could be voted on before the rally started.
It must' be pointed out that in at least one instance,
destruction of a house's sign was the object of some,
malicious minded individual or individuals after the rally
was over and the house had brought its sign back to its
front porch. It seems to make no difference when the
signs are judged.
Council member Mike Milroy said he was not placing
blame on anyone, but that good organization was lacking
in some areas. However, he felt he could still say the
rally was orderly and shower great spirit.
R would be defeating our purpose if we attempted
to comment on this statement by Mr. Milroy. By reading
it, one can readily see that either he was not at the rally
or else he was one of the first to be hit over the head with
a two by four and he hasn't quite recovered.
We have made our point. We think the rally was no
more than a street fight and unless the Council takes ad
ditional action regarding this ridiculous matter at its
next meeting, the administration will undoubtedly take it
upon itself to solve the problem and severe penalties may
bein store. "

just be the last meeting s
of the IFC as we know it. f
One' may drop v into the
next one and find it crowd-
ed with alums and a smat-
terms of house presidents.
Wanna know why, kiddies? f
Cause the IFC has been
loafing pretty consistently
for the last couple of years. j
More interest has been
shown in keeping a "clean 1
slate" than keeping our co- h
horts , on campus. T h i s i
isn't supposed to be a barb
session to get in a jab I
at the old enemies. Every- I
one who's held a chair at
the roundtable deserves 1
condemnation. And that 1
means the clipping lil' goat
too.
The house presidents and
reps sit in complacently I
and let the exec committee I
handle the whole show. 3
They get fired up and in-
terested only when the
houso' they live in comes
under attack.
Enough gripes. What's to
be done? We must enlist
the aid and comfort of the 1
Administration. We must!
agree to support the Uni-
versify and State rules con-
cerning drinking. We must
deal out punishment in our I
own clubs to those who con-
tinue to break regulations. 1
There's been some talk
about setting up a judicial 2
committee to hand down 1
decisions concerning of-
fenders who "must drink 1
in the name of the house" I
whose pin they bear. Wun-1
nerful, wunnerful. But . . . I
and this is a big one . . . '
they mf st take their stand
based on upholding regula-1
tion rather than recom-
mending easy outs to ad-
minny. Make sense?
Cancel your blasts, Clean !f
up your parties, be careful,
and send your IFC man to I
the tent meeting loaded for I
bear. Of course, it might f
help if the IFC exec would 1
circulate , an ' agenda con-
cerning the upcoming
meeting. This might mean 1
that a little of its absolute I
authority would be . chal- I
lenged. But they might wel- I
come a bit of dissention if
it meant a better system.
The T's can't have all the 1

OCEAN'S ELEVEN, a
Warner Brothers picture
starring Frank Sinatra,
Dean Martin, Sammy
Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford
and Angie Dickinson.
What will surely be pne of
the big financial successes
of the year offers little for
the discriminating filmgoer.
Plot concerns Danny Ocean
(Frank Sinatra) and eleven
of his paratrooper buddies
from the 82nd Airborne who
steal ten-million dollars
from five gambling casinos
in Las Vegas. The idea is
certainly novel, but its ex

Director. Lewis Milestone,
responsible for the film
classic "All Quiet on the
Western Front," has, for
some unknown reason, in
cluded the planning of the
robberies and the execution
of the robberies of all five
casinos in the film's content.
One wonders if a more pow
erful effect could have been
achieved if all efforts were
centered on a specific objec
tive, as in "The Asphalt
Jungle" and "Rififi."
Best thespic achievement
is that of Akim Tamiroff as
Spyros Acebos, the nervous,
elderly man who planned
the entire "operation." His
best moments are reactions
to somewhat cruel, almost
sadistic actions against him

Studiers Ousted
For Music Lovers '
To the editor:
There was ta change this,
year in the layout of the
music rooms in the Student
Union which I do not think
" was for the better.
Last year, the three small
music rooms were used for
listening to music, and the
large one, 134, was left
quiet for . studying. This
study room was very popu
lar, especially for foreign
students. Quite often last
year, all 22 students were
filled with studiers, while
the three music rooms were
almost empty. This year,
the layout was changed.
"Music is played in the large
room, while room A, which
has four seats, is left rela
tively quiet. (Actually, the
noise drifts in from the con
trol booth.) Surely, there
are few situations in which
22 music lovers wish to
hear the same tune at the
same time, and the empty
seats are worthless for
studying, for con law and
calypso just don't seem to
go together.
Therefore, I appeal to all
students who last' year en
joyed this quiet study at
mospere to contact Mr.
Bennett, the Union man
ager, to voice dissent.
Mike Flannigan
Bennett reports that room
A was never originally
established as a study hall.
He said that the Union man
agement and the board of '
managers never intended to
make the area a study area.
(It Is the intention of the
Union to maintain the area
as the only music listening
area of its type on campus,
Bennett said. He said this is

taining some facts concern

reported therein that there
are a total of 3,779 avail

more parking stickers is
sued than there were spaces
and this year there will
undoubtedly be still more
stickers issued. The newly
hard surfaced lot across
from the Student Union
" accommodates some 90 cars
less than it did last year.,
What, then, can be done
with the extra cars?
Just south of the old El
gin Building is a hard sur
faced lot at the entrance
of which there is a sign
that states firmly, Re-
. stricted area-University of
Nebraska Parking Only.
However, there is also a
chain across this entrance
all day. The map of park
ing areas issued by :the
campus constabulary desig
nates that lot for general
parking. Why is a lot like
that (which should accom
modate some 200 or so
cars) kept closed?
It has been rumored that
the ROTC has. closed it off
as a place for its trainees
to march. It is difficult to
believe such a rumor in
view of the fact that the
mall has always been good
enough before. Besides that,
there is the field north of
University High (which has
been used before by ROTC)
and the one northwest of
the Coliseum. I would like
to know the actual facts be
hind this situation.
The parking problem is
becoming quite critical and
it would seem that opening
the lot in question to park

THE PLEDGE YOU SAVE
MAY BE YOUR OWN
Today's column is directed at those young female under
graduates who have recently pledged sororities and are wor
ried, poor lambs, that they won't make good. Following is &
list of simple instructions which, if faithfully observed, will
positively guarantee that you will be a mad success as
sorority girl.
First, let us take up the matter of housemothers. The
housemother is your friend, your guide, your mentor. You
must treat her with respect. When you wish to speak to her,
ad'dress her as "Mother Sigafoos" or "Ma'am." In no circum
stances must you say, "Hey, fat lady."
Second, let us discuas laundry. Never hang your wash on
the front porch of the sorority hoiiRe. This is unsightly and
shows a want of breeding. Use the Chapter Room.
Third, meals. Always remember that planning and preparing
meals for a houseful of healthy girls is no simple tak. Your
cook goes to a great deal of trouble to make your menu varied
and nourishing. The least you can do is show your apprecia
tion. Don't just devour your food; praise it. Exclaim with
delight, "What delicious pork jowls!" or "W hat a yummy soup
bone!" or "What scrumptious fish heads!" or "What clear
water!"
Fourth, clothing. Never forget that your appearance re
flects not just on yourself but on the whole house. It was
well enough before you joined a sorority to lounge around
campus in your old middy blouse and gym bloomers, but now
you must'take great pains to dress in a manner which excites
admiring comments from all who observe you. A few years ago,
for example, there was a Chi Omega named Camille Ataturk
at the University of Iowa who brought gol of glory to all her
sorors. Camille hit on the ingenious notion of suiting her garb
to the class she was attending. For instance, to English Lit she
wore a buskin and jerkin. To German she wore lederhosen and
carried a stein of pilsener. To Econ she wore 120 yards of
ticker tape. Her shiningest hour came one day when she
dressed as a white mouse for Psych Lab. Not only her Chi
Omega sisters, but the entire student body Vent into deep
mourning when she was killed by the janitor's cat.
Finally, let us take up the most important topic of all I
refer, of course, to dating.
As we have seen, the way you dress reflects on your sorority
but the men you date reflect even more. Be absolutely certain
that your date is an acceptable fellow. Don't beat about the
bush; ask him point-blank,' "Are you an acceptable fellow?"
Unless he replies, "Yeah, hey," send him packing.
But don't just take his word that he is acceptable. Inspect
him closely. Are his fingernails clean? Is his black leather
. jacket freshly o.led? Is his ukclele in tune? Does he carry
pubhc liability insurance? And, most significant of all, does
he smoke Marlboros?
If he's a Marlboro man, you know he has taste and discern.
menV wit and wisdom, character and sapience, decency and
warmth, presence and po.se, talent and grit, filter and flavor
-eoft pack and fl.p-top box. You will be proud of him, your
soronty will be proud of him, the makers of Marlboro will be
proud of him, and I will be paid for this column.

Congratulates
Nebraskan
. Congratulations are due
the Daily Nebraskan for
publishing the articles by
Kenneth Rexroth and Eric
Sevareid. Such articles as
these could well serve as an
inspiration for subject mat
ter for Daily Nebraskan
columnists. Idle chit chat
about the blessings of fra
ternal life and other inani
ties which have so conspi
cuously filled page two in
the past seem appallingly
pale and insipid beside the
intellectual, moral and po
litical issues that constantly
impinge upon us, whether
we will admit it or not.
There may have been a
time when columnists could
gel by with telling their
readers what they had for
lunch, what ' they read in
the bathroom and relating
other minute details of their
daily lives. It'r time now
for both writers and read
ers to wake up and grow
up.
