Remember Promises
8'
Now that all of the new Student Council members are
settling back in the glow of their new found positions,
all of the back-slapping and electioneering has died
down and all the campaign posters are taken down, it
is hoped that the promises made during the campaign
will not be lost with the post-election discards in the
University incinerator.

Inside View
By PM Boroff
"The Absent Minded Pro
fessor," a Buena Vista re
lease of a Walt Disney pro
duction starring Fred Mac
Murray, Nancy Olson, Kee
nan Wynn, Tommy Kirk and
Ed Wynn.
In the tradition of 1359'i
The Shaggy Dog," Walt
Disney again presents a
nonsensical comedy. It
makes no pretense about
being an outstanding movie
because it isn't. The picture
intends to entertain, and
that is exactly what it does.
A hoy who could turn into
a big white dog was the
comic gimmick in The
Shaggy Dog." In "The Ab
sent Minded Professor," the

gimmick.

nucleus of advertisers, th
station has had difficulty In
attracting the nesessary ex
tra advertisers to maintain
its expanding functions and
its desired quality. These
advertisers have resorted to
the echo chambers, the jin
gles, and general sensation
alism employed by many
AM stations to sell their
products. They have felt
that the general buying pub
lic was not resnond'n? t
the quiet, well-modulated
advertising practices em
ployed by the station.
In an announcement from
the station the point was
made: "Many who buy
time unwittingly spend too
much of their advertising
dollars for mediocrity. They
pay for and maintain those
low standards which they
set. At whose expense? Not
only theirs, but also at the
expense of our youngsters
and the many adults, who
believe in good sound cul
tural values ..."
The answer? KFMQ has
this to sav: Write to the
station KFMQ, 1025 Termin
al Building, Lincoln, for a
list of sponsors. Then, if
you are a sympathizer with
Classical music and the gen
eral qualitv of the program
ming of KFMQ, write or
phone to the present ad
vertisers to thank them for
their support of the sta
tion's efforts. Then-call or
write to prospective adver
sers, whose names do not
aopear on this list, tell of
KFMQ's problem and en
courage them to support the
station.
We at the University do
not know whether this is
the answer, and we do not
have a ready-made one to
offer. But it is shaming to
the advertisers and to the
community when a proven
advantage to the area has
to be partially curtailed be
cause adequate financial
support is not forthcoming.
This is, again, a shame.
But you judge that for your
self from KFMQ's record
and activities.

Theta Sigma P J Initiates
Freshman Cub Chapter
Theta Sigma Phi, profes
sional organization of junior
and senior women in journal
ism, has established a cub
group for underclassmen.
Thie new group is for fresh
man Knd sophomore women
interested in journal
ism. Members do not have to
be journalism majors and
anyone who is interested is
invited to attend said Mary
Lou Reese, Theta Sig presi
dent. Although the cub group will
function under Theta Sig con
stitution, the regulations for
membership do not hold.
There are no specific require
ments for membership, she
said.
The University is one of the
many colleges in the nation
which has formed an organ
ization of this kind in con
junction with Theta Sigma
Phi.
The cub group has several
ourposes: one of which is to
be of service to incoming
freshmen women who show
an interest in journalism. It
is to encourage an interest in
jors as well as to give the un
derclass majors a chance to
become better acquainted
with their field and the peo
pie in it.
Theta Sig cubs are respon
sible for one major project.
One idea being looked into k
the writing of a monthly
newspaner for thj Veteran's
Hospital. In the past the in
pital has had a paper and
still has the printing equip
ment. However, they have no
writers. This is where the
cubs will participate. Mrs.
Grace Darby, director of rec
reation at the hospital is to
visit the cub meeting in the
near future to discuss the
plan further.
