Council Says Open
House Not Feasible
A misunderstanding at the
Student Council meeting last
Wednesday over an Open
House committee report will
evidently be cleared up to
morrow, according to Dave
Myers, chairman of the com
mittee.
After making a report last
week to the Council asking
that the Open House com
mittee be dropped, Myers
received objections from
both other members and
Fred Rickers. a visitor and
last year's Open House chair
man.
Met with Rickers
Myers was contacted Mon
day and reported that his
committee has met with
Rickers and that they have
agreed one large Open House
is not feasible.
He added that he plans to
"spell out in black and
white" his report to the
Council tomorrow to avoid
any further confusion. Rick
ers, according to Myers,
helped write this w e e k's
Open House committee re
port. Confusion occurred last
Wednesday when several of
the other Council members
Interpreted Myers' report to
read that no other alternate
plan for inviting high school
ers be accepted either.
Chip Kuklin pointed out
the increased interest shown
by some Lincoln and Omaha
high schools in touring the
University. "In case you
know it or not we have one
of the best universities in
the country and the people
in the state don t know it,
he said. He added, however,
that he understood that one
large Open House was not
feasible as the committee
had reported.
Not Sensible
Steve Gage then told mem
bers of the Council the Open
House was not sensible and
asked how could "the student
(high school) with an open
mind" be shown everything
he wants to see on both cam
puses in one day. He re
called the 1951 Open House
when "hundreds of dollars"
were lost. "It was a mon
strous flop, only 700 students
attended."
Gage continued and said
an Open House "must be
open to everyone." He said
other events during the year
(E-Week, J-Week, etc.) were
"selective."
Rickers then gained the
floor and gave a lengthy re
port of his findings of a year
ago.
Rickers said the Council
should start slowly and grad
ually build a successful "Col
Union to Host
State Wildlife
Conference
The second annual confer
ence on wildlife will be held
at the Student Union Nov. 19
and 20, according to Bill Bow
master, conference coordina
tor at the University.
The purpose of the confer
ence is "to promote better farmer-hunter
relations." It is
supported by the University,
the State Game Commission
and the Isaak Walton League.
Jack Berryman, wildlife
specialist at Utah State Uni
versity, will speak both days
on public efforts arid legisla
tion of interest to both groups.
This year's program will in
clude a panel of farmers,
landowners and hunters giv
ing everyone an opportunity
to discuss their problems, ac
cording to Bowmaster.
i Dr. Howard Ottoson, chair
man of the department of ag
ricultural economics, will
speak on the possible effects
of farmers' considering the
wildlife on their land as ; a
crop.
Bowmaster said that a
great deal of interest has been
generating in the past few
weeks and since the first, em
bryonic conference last year.
"We are opening the confer
ence doors to anyone who has
interests at stake," he said.

Hoerner said Monday.
Hoerner said the main two
reasons that the parents come

Over for Candidates;
Election Results Rest
On Voters Shoulders
By Nebraskan Staff
On the morning of election
day Nebraska's gubernatorial
candidates, Democrat Frank
Morrison and Republican
John Cooper, though both
optimistic, are nervously
awaiting the results as Ne-
braskans flock to the polls.
The two nominees made
their last big efforts in Oma
ha Sunday in their bids for
victory in this tight race
which defies prediction.
Snag Votes
Morrison has based his
chances on solid Democratic
support and the possible snag
ging of a large quantity of
Republican votes. Cooper is
hoping to hold all GOP bal
lots. Today is also the big day
for the two Presidential hope
fuls, Vice President Richard
M. Nixon and Sen. John F.
Kerinedy.
In the ending hours of cam
paigning last night, Sen. Ken
nedy made his final stand on
a half-hour television appear

the Democratic campaign

Romance is not the reason
for this pinning between the

the Pi Phi house to get out

The couple explained that
their only purpose in exchang
