The Black Knights for Army may be better warriors, but Nebraska's Cornhuskers are better football players. There was no doubt about this in anybody's mind after the Scarlet and Cream sent the Cadets back to West Point smarting from a 14-9 defeat The Huskers defense plus an effective offense -in the second half left little to be desired throughout the thrilling contest. As the players noted after the game, the Nebraska fans cant complain about the pass defense any more. The big question now is whether the club can continue to improve as it has most of the season. These last five games are the ones that really count, with all being Big Eight contests, three away and two at home. We think the team is finally at the point where it can combine an offense with its rugged defensive play that has characterized most of the games. This will be all important, as the conference is tougher than its been in 20 years. It is the first time in several years that the Huskers (have stood a good chance of at least winning half its ball games. With a solid effort on the part of every man, much like they put in Saturday, Nebraska fans can hope for a winning season. No Homecoming Parade, What is Next to Go? In today's issue there is a story that tells of the dropping of the traditional Homecoming parade, the first time since the parade was started years ago. This event has always started the entire "big day" for alumnd and students alike early Saturday morning. What will the alumni think when they return October 29 and find that there is no parade? What is even worse, be cause the students didn't care to put out the effort to keep one of the most heralded traditions going. Perhaps this show of indifference or apathy on the part of the students is a sampling of what may happen to the whole Homecoming idea in the years to come. In significant as it may seem it may be a start. What will .Homecoming's be like in 10 years if this kind of spirit keeps up? From the Editor: A Liberal View Elsewhere -on this page today, a Teader presents his views on the proposed Interfraternity Judicial Board, a body that would act in a similar capacity as the Student Tribunal on matters of fraternity disci pline referred to it by the Division of Student Affairs. A three man committee presented a proposed char ter for 'such a body to the IFC Wednesday night. It is modeled after the Tribunal charter and would have to "be approved by a specified vote of all fraternity men, the subcommittee on stu dent affairs and then by the Board of Regents. This letter writer, an in dependent we presume", has sfome rather caustic com ments on the proposal. He questions whether fraterni ties have matured to the point where they are now ready to accept responsibil ity for what they do. Although this author is not anti-Greek, as Mr. Skidmore apparently is judging from some of nis comments he does bring up some good points about whether the fraternity sys tem is ready to assume the task of disciplining its members. (At this point, we would like to make it clear that we are not criticizing the authors of the proposed charter, as they were only doing the job assigned to them. They performed this task adequately, since the IFC now has something tangible with which to work.) As the situation stands now, the IFC cannot wait any longer to work put a sound, constructive p r o gram that will enable it to get the system back on its feet and moving forward again. It has already de layed too long. Saturday one of its members lost its charter for a year and pro vided for more bad pub licity directed towards fra ternities as a whole. The powers that be have gone as far as they can.

When you consider the situation from the stand point of cold, hard reality, Mr. Skidmore holds a view point expressed by a great many citizens of Nebraska, and Lam not so sure that these views are not too far from being correct. He writes, "The fact that they (the fraternities) are now lobbying for as little pun ishment as possible for the future shows that the fra ternities as a group realize that they are going to con tinue to break the rules of the administration ..." Let's face it. So far, the situation is just as he states it. An IFC adviser, Dr. C. B e rt r n d Schultz has warned the group that the system is in danger if fra ternities continue their drinking parties. As soon as the adminis tration is convinced that the system is ready to be gin on a constructive pro gram (and this means abid ing by the laws, not just presenting plans such as the judicial board) it will be more than happy to turn over the responsibility of fraternity discipline to the IFC. There i6 still plenty of hope left. The excellent quality of the Kosmet Klub Fall Revue shows that fra ternities still offer good constructive programs and a strong bond of brother hood. Let's show people like Mr. Skidmore that frater nities can be mature. They can write Sigma Phi Epsi lon's misfortune off as the fault of every fraternity man at Nebraska, but they can start to rebuild and by next September when the Sig Eps come back they will become a part of a strong system, one where there won't be any room for bad publicity, because the fraternities win be too busy making good publicity. i "V Mi- i , (' 1 sKosmet Klub Review Kosmet Klub's ""Histori I cal Hysterics" "began like Amateur Night in Podunk , High School.

It seemed the only skit which completely adhered to the review's theme, "Historical Hysterics." Scenery was good, and costumes and I make-up were superior.

Criticizes IFC Judicial Plan .To tlie editor: . 1 J read in The Daily fte- braskan that the fraterni- ties are trying to set up an Interfraternity Judicial Board to handle matters i that would be referred to it I by the Division of Student Affairs. This, I presume, is 1 supposed to sound as if the 1 frats havematured, and are I now ready to accept the re I sponsibility for what they 1 do- I do not believe that this is the case. There is no I chance that such a group I would enact greater punish 1 ment upon themselves, and I no reason for it to exist if s it levied the same amount t h a t ' the administration I would Their only objective I is to hand down as little I punishment for themselves g as possible; probably most of it would be in the form of reprimands (they could label each other as aggres 1 sors). 1 The fact that they are f now lobbying for as littlr punishment as .possible for I the future shows that the fraternities as a group real i ize that they are going to continue to break the rules of the a d m i n i s t r a t i on I (whether the rules are good I or bad is not the -question here) and to be a source I of bad publicity for the Uni- versity. 1 Hogar H. Skidmore j Inside View sional. The University of Nebraska and Phi Delta Theta can certainly be proud of such a competent performer. Bob Pardee and Rob Venner, Alpha Tan Omega pledge exhibit much promise with their "Drum Duet" One confus ing point was the coat rack "bit. It seemed to distract rather than add to the traveler act. The other three -skits ranged from mediocre to fair. Beta Theta Pi's "Time Machine Blues" was prob ably judged second "best be cause of its general "Hys torical Hysterics" basis. Alpha Tau Omega's "Smelly Mess and the Un mentionables" was occas ionally unintelligible as far as pronunciation and pre sentation were .concerned. It was also hurt by long scene changes. "A True Tale of Robin Hood," Theta Xi's skit, offered little. However, if an award were given for the "Best Act ress," the young man who played the house mother would certainly have won.

NEW DUAL An Staff Vietv$ BOVINE The rumor that archi tects might start plans for the new Ag library in, the next few weeks has prompted activity by those interested- in a joint Ag Union and library. One adminislr ation source said the architects wouM begin the library plan? as soon as the sur . vey-p I a n n i n g commit tee maps the Ag campus and places a location for all the basic needs in the pext 15 years. Since 1357 the Ag Union and the library have had indefinite plans to build a Joint facility. The original idea behind this was that the first one that could get approval to bn"ld might be able to pull the other through if there were a joint project, Anrther theory behind the joint project was that both the Union and the li brary, being student cen ters, w o n 1 d draw even more student interest. The third major idea of the joint project was that cost could be much lower if the two were built side by side and used several common facilities. Thise interested in t h e joM project then combined their ideas and developed a floor map which would fill i he basic needs of botii groups. . Since the announcement of the future plans for the Ag library. Union backers Jiave bee'a scurrying in bopes that they might be included. A new Ag Union has two problems, one is finance .and the other is to deter mine what facilities the Union needs to adequately fill its Tole on the Ag cam pus. Hasty plans will nave to be made if both of these problems are answered in rhe next few weeks. Finance seems to be the biggest problem. The Stu dent Union managing di rector, ADen Bennett, said that the Union finances are tighl and. that there seems to be few funds now for a new Ag Union. With no money here, the Ag Union t-as had to look for other sources. The University cannot fi nance a new Ag Union through its tax mill levy. The tax mill levy is not for s t u d'e n t facilities. This leaves only one alternative. If the Ag Union should be approved by the University jn the near future, some sources of finance must be figured out by the University. r ' - y.-y.-y.-x- ..;immt Here's how the DUAL FILTER DOES IT: 1.

The Union is asking for campus opinion of needed facilities. Three major needs that the Ag Union has demonstrated are for more conference rooms improved eating f a . cilitks and a little andi- lorium. A joint library and Ag Unioi? would allow both to use many of the same con ference rooms and utilities. There is a faint glimmer . of hope for a new Ag Union. In Ibe past ten years they nave bad hope often only to have it squelched by the Administration. More con centrated student interest snd the support of the Ag Exec Board may finally make a new Ag Union a re ality. ' Huzzah for a new Ag Un ion and congratulations to the supporters for their fine work. Efforts and support of the Ag Exec Board in the field of promotion for a mew Ag Union have added to the list of the many projeuis that helped the Board to reach its ultimate goal. The official dropping of the Ag Economics Club, support and planning of the Professional Opportunities Conference and now the Ag Union promotion has kept the board n a fall schedule. Campus opinion in past years has considered the Board as a do-nothing club. Effo?ts that began last year liave now been fulfilled this tall tnd the Board again has ibe respect of the fac ulty and students. Talent Show Auditions End Wednesday Groups which were partici pating in Kosmet Klub and did not audition for the Stu dent Union Talent Show win present their numbers before the judges Wednesday night. Auditions have already been made by 25 groups for the Talent Show to be Nov. 13 in the Student Union Ban room. Selections will be made af ter tryouts are completed this week.
