Speaking of the Greek Week games, the award for the most determined participant has to go to Luida Hal- f lam, the Alpha Phi's winning tricycle rider. Never has a coed shown so much determination. Especially during I the last half of the race, when she was sprinting her tri- cycle in reverse. AU in all, Greek Week snowed a vast improvement over previous attempts. In fact Greek Weeks in the past were almost nothing. Most of the activities planned by the IFC and PanheL mostly IFC, seem ed to go over fairly welL The convoca tion Wednesday night, although sparsely attended, produced several thought provoking ideas. Greek Week on the University cam pus certainly hasn't reached the point it could, but with advances such as this year's, tt could become one of the biggest weeks on cam- pus. Speaking of big weeks, there are several coming up in the near future. - I This week, of course, is the big one for the fellows at the west end of the campus. From all indications, this year's E-Week will be as great as ever. I The following week marks the Spring Day,-Ivy Day g weekend. Already, the juniors are starting to look wor- ried. Several fellows I know went over to the Kappa Sig 1 house to buy the goat's still-new knee pads. Here's hop- ing they bring you better luck than the former owner, e Only one word from this corner on Spring Day and the games. It seems rather stupid to hold the games en Ag campus. Nothing against the Ag campus or any of the students out there, but the transportation problem Is going to be something. This idea was proposed on the Student Council floor s several weeks ago and ran into some opposition. It seems 5 that the planners feel that the space at Ag campus can be used more effectively than that of the practice field south of the Stadium. Perhaps this is so, but when com- pared to the problems that will come with transportation, the space problem should seem insignificant. The comment "I'd walk over to the Stadium, but I s wont ride out to Ag campus" has already been uttered by many of the city residents. I The whole problem was summed up during a Coun- cQ session, when one of the opposing members said, "Wouldn't it be easier to bring the cow (for one f the contests) down to the city campus, than bring the major- ily el the University students out to the Ag campus?" If the transportation problem does become grave, the A TO chariot runners have offered to transport some of the city residents out to Ag campus. The Nebraskon Monday, April 24, 1961 .

Both events will force the Union to de its utmost to keep the participants from being disappointed in the "social center" of Ag cam pus. After all they are de signed to show the advant ages of the University and its Ag College to prospec tive college students in an attempt to attract the state's top level scholars to the University. The high schoolers, who are usually from the upper 25-per cent of their classes, are certainly going to be im pressed by the College's Un ion and its abundant facil ities. But maybe the high schools of Nebraska are graduating a new breed of students who are not inter ested in a few minutes of relaxation in a well equipped University campus Student Union. Well, Ag campus? Do you have something against mu sic good music? I sup pose you have settled back to enjoy your new f u n d privllage of longer library hours and are going to ig nore other happenings on campus. Last Wednesday evening the Ag Student Union (bless its over stuffed halls) spon sored in conjuction with the music department an hour of delightful and relaxing American music directed by Gene Dybdahl. It was the ' campus' first try at pre senting a Spring Concert "out-on-Ag," but there was one question in many peo ple's minds who did attend "Where were the stu dents?" - Since it was the first of what is hoped to be annual concerts there may have been some slight excuse for the over-all low attefidence Wednesday evening. Howev er, there is little, in fact, no excuse for the small num ber of students that made an appearance. For the most part the audience, estimated to be around 100-120, ap peared to be mostly parents, faculty and probably even a number of Lincoln resi dents from the area sur rounding the Ag campus, who wanted an enjoyable evening's entertainment and were not disappointed. You will of course notice that these spectators can be gen erally classified as adults.
