E-WEEK, 1962
Talent On Display!
by Chuck Wahl
Guest Editorial
Tomorrow will mark the fiftieth anni
versary of Engineers' Week at the Uni
versity of Nebraska. Apart from the fact
that it will mean the end of a lot of
hard work for the engineers and archi
tects who participate in it, E-Week will
have fulfilled the purpose for which it
was intended.
The first E-Week was used as a pro
motional device to try to lure promising
engineering students to the university. It
started as a one night exposition of some
lab experiments and equipment demon
strations in 1894. A secondary function
was to acquaint the general public with
what student engineers could and would
do with their talents. Even then one of
the unspoken but present motives behind
E-Week was to justify the existence of a
state university to the state legislature.
The popularity of this one night show
grew until the present day E-Week was
born in 1912. This included all of the pres
ent day activities such as the open house,
the convocation, field day, and the ban
quet and dance at the end of E-Week.
Being somewhat proud of what they
had accomplished, the engineers of a
slightly later year jeered the law stu
dents who had nothing comparable in
their college. One word led to another
and soon the loyalties were being de
fended with fists and at one time pistols.
Happily no one was hurt seriously and
the two colleges are on the best of terms
today.
The open house of this year's E-Week ,
will feature a wide variety of displays
both technical and of the non-tech var
iety. Most of the explanations which ac
company the displays will be simple
enough so that even I can understand
them so you need not worry about them
being too sophisticated. Here I might list
a few of the displays from each depart
ment to give you a general idea of their
content.
The architects will again feature many
new and different styles of buildings and
residences. Several of their models in
clude the legislative building of the state
THE RACE IS ON
Today, the Nebraskan, as a special service, is run
ning its special feature commonly refered to as "The
Racing Form." We feel it is important that we point
out some interesting angles and tidbits.
DEFINITIONS
The Baldric Boondoggle A Baldric is a belt worn
over one shoulder and across the chest, normally to
support a sword. In this case, we have been informed,
it is used to hold the wearer's pants up. A Boon
doggle is, in the medieval sense, an ornamental leath
er strap. In the modern, however, it means to do
trifling, valueless work.
The Buxom Buccaneers According to Webster,
.Buxom refers to women and generally mean healthy,
plump, jolly and flexible. Buccaneers are pirates.
We have also been informed that there will be a
special tackling practice for all interested, in front of
the Swampy Pit at 6:30 this evening. You will have an
unusual opportunity to watch a few of the old war
horses work out.
STATEMENT OF THE DAY
The Nebraska Union has bent over backward to
help build interest and promote knowledge in the Stu
dent Council elections.
But the students have not responded. Al Plummer,
Student Council member, probably made the under
statement of the year yesterday at the meet-the-candi-date
session In the Little Auditorium.
"There is more mopism in the student body than
on the Student Council."
The statement refered to the fact that there was
only a handfull of listeners and less candidates to hear
what the council hopefuls propose as platforms. The
elections are next Monday. The Nebraskan will finish
the series on candidates tomorrow. The special elec
tion issue will hit the delivery boxes Friday. How in
formed will you be?
Next year's Council will probably be the most im
portant in recent years. It will probably move into
new areas of information, service and obligation for
the student body. Yoy owe it to yourself to find out.

from one sour morning to

MORRIS I. BRODKEY
Clear Issues
Editor of the Daily Ne
braskan: In the Monday issue of
the Daily Nebraskan, sup
posedly the views of the
college candidates for Stu
dent Council were ex
pressed. The remarks
which were made in the
article were to be a con
densation and paraphras
ing of a statement which
was written by each Coun
cil candidate. These views
were to be written to re
tain the original spirit and
content that were ex
pressed in the statement
written by the candidates.
The fact 'remains that
throughout the statement
concerning my views, the
major points of my cam
paign were either entirely
deleted or were not pre
sented in the same light
as they were on my cam
paign statement.
It is for this reason that
I feel I should clarify
some of my views.
1. I am running for Stu
dent Council to strive
to further the aims of
the Agriculture Col
lege and the interests
and education of the
Agriculture student.
2. I feel the primary
role of Student Coun
cil is to interpret the
ideas and views of
the student body, dis
c u s s and evaluate
these ideas, and pre
sent specific recom
mendations for action
consistent with these
ideas.
3. I did not make a
statement that vaca
tions should be cut to
let school out earlier.
What I said was "I
plan to study the pos
sibility of reducing
final exam periods
and possibly cutting
vacations a day or

Thank You
The hard of hearing
children, the speech clin
icians, and the Clinic
staff wish to thank the
members of the Beta
Theta Pi pledge class for
the fine contributions
made to the clinic this
spring. We realize the
time and effort that went
into the making of the six
beautiful little tables and
the room dividers which
were made especially for
the clinic playroom. We
knew they were an enthu
astic and energetic pledge
class as we watched these
young men paint, scrub
and wax the whole area
of the children's play
rooms. We hope that each
Beta will visit the clinic
sometime between the
hours of 10:00 and 11:30
on Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday or Friday. Here
they can ' see for them
selves how happy our lit
tle deaf pre-school children
are with their lovely play
room. We feel that Dr. Eldon
Park would be pleased to
see this kind of "hazing"
going on in the fraternity
pledge classes at the Uni
versity of Nebraska. Our
most gracious thanks go
to the Beta pledges.

In Appreciation
Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter
in appreciation for tha
assistance given Sinfonia,
professional music fra
ternity, by the Nebraska
Union and the Daily Ne
braskan on our annual
jazz concert. Portraits in
Jazz IV, given April is,
was a tremendous sue
cess not only perform,
ance-wise, but attendance
wise, also. Without the
fine help tf Mr, Allan
Bennett and his most
competant staff we cer
tainly would not have had
such a successful con
cert. Also, the coverage
given us on this scholar
ship concert by the Daily
Nebraskan was most gen
erous. Sinfonia salutes two
vital university organiza
tions for their years of
service to the University.

Have the Lincoln City
Police killed chivalry? Is
it against social etiquette
to walk a girl to her door?
Walking the girl to her
door is impossible in the
Women's Residence Halls,
but at least we should
be able to walk them to
the entryway.
The City Police have
been preventing this late
ly by issuing a five dollar
ticket to guys who double
park on 16th street even
at closing hours. But don't
get me wrong. I am not
saying that there should
be double parking on 16th
all the time, but only at
closing hours. There are
over five hundred girls in
that dorm and they are up
in arms when the guys
have to walk them into
the dorm from West Lin
coln. In closing I would like to
say that, "Guys, we have
got to stick together and
keep the campus for our
selves. The campus police
have done an excellent
job in the past, but those
men with the white motor
cycles are really messing
things up."
