The Nebraskan Wsdr.Dsday, Mar. 8, 196( Page 2 : i .J 1 t a V, .'1 EDITORIAL May Queen Represents True Campus Royalty Today thirty-two female candidates will vie for the tea finalist positions in the May Queen election. The ten lucky winners'will square off at the polls at a later date for the Queen and her maid of honor. Only junior and senior vote. With all seriousness to the people who have put so much time planning this election, we urge all the junior and senior coeds to get out and vote. However, a majority of the non-queen minded people on campus, will also breathe a sigh of relief, for this will be the last major queen election for another year. Our University is unique in this respect. We have a neen lor just about everything and anything. Perhaps there are too many queens on campus. The honor of being queen of this or queen of that seems to detract from the actual honor. We believe that a queen, In some activities, is a necessary part of campus life, but do we need a queen to represent every organiza tion on campus? It is unfortunate that there are so many queen elec tions, for when the time comes to choose a true queen, the campus is all queened out The Catacombs There is probably nothing in the world that is greater than idealism nothing greater than standing on a soap-box and screaming for the betterment of man, for a bigger and better Univer sity and for bigger and bet ter anything. On the other hand, there isprobably nothing worse than just standing there and exhort ing in favor of something, unless you have some con structive advice to offer. Standing up and calling people slobs and hurling in vectives at them because they dont measure up to one's ideals is about as useful as trying to drive north down sixteenth street you're bound to get hit sooner or later, and it will probably be sooner. Ii this day of moaning because the youth of Ne braska are leaving and beaJing for the east or west, or wherever we are supposed to be going, the only saggettiea made seems for as to stick it out, and see if we can't make something better of the sit uation. Youth doesn't want to be told that they are go ing to be given something on a silver platter if they remain, tbey just want to know that the "something" is there, and the majority of them wouldn't mind too much getting out and grov eling for it. As far as the campus goes, the students here are not using some of the talent that is here to its utmost, and to their best advan tage. At the University we have some three hundred faculty members, the ma jority of which have some interest to a certain degree to the students. For the most part instructors would not be teaching unless they enjoyed working with the 'leaders of tomorrow." However, their interest tends to be subjected by the students who think-of them only in terms of grades, term papers, methods of getting recom mendations and grades. Contrary to the common misconception of some per sons, teachers are not evil beasts whose main delight is failing a certain per cent of their classes. They are humans like the rest of us and would probably like to have a closer relationship with the students. The prob lem is that the students often deny them this oppor tunity. This writer it not advo cating that every student rus over and start patting bis teachers oi tbe back and have a big heart to heart talk with them about the last quiz or downs or the problems ofwrltlag term papers. Needless to say, that it what teachers are here for, tbey get paid for that But aside from this tbey also have an in terest in students at peo ple.

Nebraska is tbe first school to ever attack, archi tecturally, the problem of a meat packing plant, and this school hat g a i e d world-wide publicity due to this new endeavor. The students were striving to create a subtle mood through architecture which would influence tbe effici ency of the worker aid raise its stature and pres tige ia tbe community. At though unique and unortho dox, many of tbe student's designt were excellent and could have beei translated into plants at a reasonable cost. Consequently, tbe meat packing industry is becoming very interested ia this new phase of archi tecture. Of particular current in terest is the fifth year pro gram which goes beyond tbe rudiments of architec tural principles and tests the student's powers to or ganize, the civic conse quence of architecture as a profession, and tbe struc tural and mechanical re quirements. This is to be accomplished by a three point program which in cludes (I) an intense and exacting assignment such as a bus terminal; il) an assignment which encour ages "the student to increase the scope of hit imagina tion, such as the design of a new remote village ia in hospitable places like the Arctic, the Great Desert, and the Amazon Basin; 3i an assignment which en courages a regard for tbe student's immediate loca SARTORS I 13 ii : 1 SlL j 4 o y S'. r'ilSir 1 2 fir- I sxPE' ii Mi K ;VA-' f ' ,) I I f i I I , 1 !

And qualify, ofew QiVll.lwitliM tion, Lincoln, with a repor duction of any interesting architecture they find in this city. The basic prem ise the students are encour aged to accept is that this city is much richer in arch itectural inheritance than many would suppose, and that such study would thereby stimulate enthusi asm for this region. According to Smith, over half ofhisstadeat work part-time for practic ing architects ia Lincoln. Some of tbe udergradi atet have worked oa ia merous aew constructions here ia Liacola, sstn as tbe Newmaa Center and the First Continental National Bank. Two other students will participate ia summer school stadies at Foua tainbleai ia Europe. These stideats were accept ed into this simmer school through tbe submis sion of applications aad samples of their w ork, with due regard to professors' recommendations and their academic achievement. An other hat beei selected, through previous competi tion, tobecoatldered for the coveted Paris prize. The present home of this department is the second floor of Architecture Hall with part of its facilities be ing in the did Administra t i 0 n Building, Ferguson Hall, and Morrill Hall. Smith is very happy to an nounce that, as of Septem ber, they will occupy all of Architecture Hall and will finally have aU of their teaching areas under one roof.

Student Advocates Flying Trucks To the editor. The emphasis last week was on the beautifi cation of the campus at old NU. With the many im provements being made, drawbacks will naturally arise. There was also a com plaint about the dirt on R street because of the con struction at 13th and 12th streets. A suggestion was made to have their trucks use the 10th street one way. That's fine and dandy but how the h-1 do you ex pect them to get to 10th street. Fly? Yodar Kritch Sincerely, .

Ideas ia campui fashion have a way of running in cycles. Many years back seersucker suits were the main event in every college man's wardrobe. Thea they disappeared from the scene. Now, brought op to date by the textile magiciana, seenucker is back on campus, bigger and better than ever. The seersucker fabric, with its slightly crinkled texture, comet in aU cotton or in blends of cotton and man-made fiber. Its very light weight com bine maximum comfort with excellent shape re taining qualities. Traditionally seen in stripes of blue, grey, or brown with white, seersucker it showing more pattern variety these days through the use of small Glen Urqhart plaidi... particu larly in the grey and white combination.

We hail this great development in the on ward progress of journal ism. There are, however, a few minor corrections we feel impelled to suggest to this vastly superior intellect even though our abilities are so weak in comparison. One slight (very, very slight we don't want to cast dis persions on the critical acu men of such an obvious gen iusHeaven forbid!) short coming of the poor tired goat's critical insight was the supposition that "this bunch was really beat" or even that 'they want us to think" so. With such a be labored psuedo-beat tone as we used to develop our sa tire on beatniques, our mythological semidiety in h i s oracular pronounce ments still didn't get the point. Who else but a bleating, four-hoofed mountain climb er could have believed that such a comical situation as a bearded chief-acolvte of the Palladian Beat Buddha Cult genuflecting (very beat-like isn't it?) and rub bing a sedately corpulent Buddha (sculpted in jadet was a serious pose?
