thing back from the CCUN,
our first obligation would be
to better inform ourselves
and our fellow students nn

the world for peace."
inis is necessary if we
are to disnel the 'iwinspnep'
about the UN and world poli

campus," Hughes added.
Senior representative Ftnr
bara Tanner said that she
was most impressed with the
CCUN for the personal
tact it allowed with world
leaders and personalities.
"The extreme poise and af
fluence of international am.
bassadors and delegates in
our language more than

Elgart Moves to Bar Evidence;
Contends Police Violated Rights
Les Elgart, who pleaded not
guilty to a charge of pos
sessing narcotic drugs, has
filed a motion in Lancaster
County Court "to suppress
evidence'
Elgart's attorney, Dale
Wahrnbruch, stated that po
lice officers violated state and
federal constitutions in enter
ing and searching his hotel
room in search of evidence
without a search warrant or
prior lawful arrest.
According to the motion, the
evidence should be returned
to Elgart because it was "un
reasonably, illegally and un
constitutionally seized."
The motion states that the
police officers violated El
gart's rights under one or
more of four amendments to
the United States Constitution.
It proposes that anv evi
dence obtained from him or
his hotel room while he was
'unreasonably, u n 1 a wfullv
and unconstitutionally de
tained," at the Lincoln Police
station, Nov. 4 and Nov. 5,
should not be allowed as evi
dence in any judicial action.
Elgart and six of his band
members were arrested after
playing at the University
Homecoming dance. T h e v
were charged with illegal pos
session of marijuana and
heroin. The six band members
pleaded guilty, while Elgart
pleaded innocent.
The United States Supreme
Court made a ruling June 19
that states, "all evidence ob
tained by search and seizure
in violation of the constitution
is, by that same authority, in
admissable in a state court."
Prior to this ruling, federal
provisions on search and
seizure had been held not to
apply to state courts.
The Fourth amendment to
the U.S. Constitution provides
that: "the right of the people
to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers and effects
against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shall not be vio
lated." Evidence that is obtained in
violation of this provision is
inadmissable in federal court.
Nebraska courts, have ad
mitted evidence that was ob
tained in violation of the pro
vision prior to the Supreme
Courts ruling.
Nine Finalists Compete
For Commandant Crown
By Sue Hovik
Opening the 1961 social sea
son on the University campus
will be the 49th annual Mili
tary Ball on Dec. 8 at Per
shing auditorium.
The hiehlieht of the ball
will be the crowning of the
1961 Honorary Commandant
who will rein over the Armv.
Navv. Air Force ROTC de
partments. She will be elect
ed at an all-student election
on Monday. Polling places
will be onen on both city and

Students in Card Section
To Assume Cost of Loss
Flake, Flake, More Flcflte
A flash snow storm has ended the weeks
of Indian summer on campus in less than
12 hours. Lincoln was blanketed with five
inches of snow and more than -two inches
of moisture between 6 p.m. Wednesday
and 6 a.m. Thursday.
Most of the campus population awoke to
a glistening white world Thursday morn
ing as contrasted to the barren trees and
shrubs seen only a few hours before.
The grand entrance of winter brought
more than a welcomed change of scenery,
however. The wet and heavy snow played
a direct part in the crash of an Air Force
B-47 jet aircraft and the subsequent death
of four Air Force officers, several auto
mobile accidents and a multitude of col
lapsing power and telephone lines.
A large section of the campus went
without electricity after 2 a.m. Thursday
morning. Traffic on most streets was slow
but passable. Both city snow plows and
power line repairmen worked throughout
the flight.
The Lincoln U.S. Weather Bureau has
forecast some blowing and drifting snow
for Friday. However, most of the snow
continues to melt and flood the streets
with slush and running water despite near
freezing temperatures.
Although forecasts for this weekend
have not been confirmed, the weatherman
said the temperatures might climb to the
high thirties. Loyal Husker football fans
can expect a long, cold afternoon under
cloudy to partially cloudy skies Saturday
afternoon when Nebraska plays host to
Colorado. The game two years ago was
played in 14 degree weather with gusting
winds up to 25 m.p.h.
Despite all the damage done by the
snow, there is one good result noted on
campus. At least one fraternity pledge
class welcomed the falling flakes. They
piled their frosh beanies in the snow and
burned the stack to the ground, proving
the old adage: "It's an ill wind that
doesn't blow someone some good."
No action will be taken
against the houses throwing
up c a r d s in the Nebraska
Kansas game if a donation
is made by each affected stu
dent to cover their cost
stated Jav Graf. Corn Cob
chairman of the card section.
Three hundred sets of cards
were lost or destroyed at the
game. These sets cost $4 a
set which brought the total
cost to $1,200, said Graf.
J. P. Colbert, Dean of Stu
dent Affairs, was chairman
of the meeting attended by
house representatives, presi
dent of Panhellenic, members
of the athletic department
and president of IFC. The
group met following the show
ing of the movies of the card
section on Wednesday eve
ning. The members of the ath
letic department, who origi
nally paid for the cards, will
contribute $2O0 towards the
cost of replacing them. The
$1,000 will come from the fra
ternities and sororities which
sat in the section and threw
cards.
It was proposed at the meet
ing that a donation of $ .75
is collected from every person
sitting m the section. This
proposal will be voted on at
a meeting to be held after
Thanksgiving vacation. The
Corn Cobs and Tassels would
collect from the Kernals.
The cost of the cards will
not be taken out of the $50
deposit given by the organ
ized houses at the beeinnine
of the football season. This
deposit is only encroached no
on if the house does not fill
the section or holds ud the
wrong card.
The Independent's represen
tative said that they would
take responsibility for the
Kernal section, if it were to
be entirely filled with Inde
pendents.
will also be announced at the
coronation ceremonies.
, The Honorary Commandant
and the three service queens
will take part in formal
ROTC parades, inspections
and the presentation of
awards and citations to the
ROTC cadets during the com
ing year.
The nine Nebraska co-eds
who have been selected as
candidates for these honors
are as follows:
Cori Cabela, junior in
Teachers college and a mem
ber of Alpha Phi sorority.
Sherry Foster, senior in
Teachers College, and a
member of Alpha Delta Pi
at Hanover college in Indi
ana. Pat Johnson, senior in
Teachers College, and presi
dent of Chi Omega.
Vicky Cullen, junior in Arts
and Sciences, and a member
of Gamma Phi Beta.
Kathy Madsen, junior in
Teachers, and a member of
Delta Gamma.
Ruthanne Read, junior in
Teachers College, and a
member of Pi Beta Phi.
Marty Elliott, junior in
Teachers College and a mem
ber of Kappa Alpha Theta.
Jeanne Garner, senior in
Teachers College, and a
member of Delta Gamma.
Judi Zadina. i n n i o r in
Teachers College, and mem
ber of Alpha Omieron Pi.
These Eirls will be present
ed to the student bodv and
football fans at the Nebras
ka-Colorado football game tomorrow.
The coeds decided to wear
floor-length gowns in order to
make the event more social
and formal than ever before.
These eirls iust finished a
series of TV performances on
the Wayne West show. These
appearances were courtesy of
KOLN-TV and provided a
greater public awareness and
interest in the Military Ball.
The Air Force ROTC ca
dets are sponsoring the ball.
IFC Won't
Assess
For Ball
The Inter-fraternity Council
(IFC) will not assess houses
or their members for the IFC
Ball, to be held April 7 as the
climax of Greek Week, ac
cording to IFC president Don
Ferguson, after Wednesday
night s meeting.
Last year each fraternity
man was charged $2.35 in or
der pi pay for the ball.
This year's dance, which
will be held at Pershing Au
ditorium, will be financed
solely by ticket sales. Tickets
wQI be $2.50 per couple and
any deficit will be paid for
out of the IFC treasury.
The council voted to limit
the amount spent for a band
to $2,500 leaving the selection
up to the affairs committee
and the executive council.
The Treasurer's report
gave the October income as
$2,806.30 with expenses at
$557.74. The income and ex
penditures plus the balance of
$3,555.90 cives a balance
brought forward for Nov. 1
as $5,804.46.
Dr. Robert Nelson of the
Geology department was
named as the new IFC ad
visor. Dr. Nelson is starting
his second year at the Uni
versity. He received his
Ph. D. from the University
or wasnington and did his un
dergraduate work at Oregon
