According to Dave Smith,
chairman of the contest, the

A trophy will be presented to
the winning team.
Immediately following the

the Pan-American room of
the Student Union. Huskers
will dance to the music of
the Wilson Quintette.
Saturday's activities will be
highlighted by the Nebraska
North Carolina State football
game and the annual Band
Day ceremonies.
Band Day, which began
during the 1930's on the Uni
versity campus and has since
spread to most of the nation's
colleges, will see 3,700 mu
sicians participating in this
year's event.
25th Anniversary
The massed bands will pro
vide a unique half-time show
celebrating the 25th anniver
versary of Band Day at the
University.
Donald Lentz, professor of
music and designer of the
show, said that the bands will
form three spelling forma
tions, "America," "USA,"
and "Telstar," which will
cover the entire length and
width of the field.
The ceremonies will begin
at 9:30 a.m. with a parade
through downtown Lincoln.
The half-time show will be
televised by stations through
out the state.
In addition, Saturday will
see the University hosting 250
Nebraska high school cheer
leaders for the fourth annual
Cheerleader Clinic.

' "A philosophy built on the life they
now have, with no thought towards
change is the basic belief of Spanish
ipeaking migrant workers," according to
Jsn Jcffcry.
Miss Jeffery worked during the past
summer in a migrant workers' camp out
side of a small Illinois town. She said
that these people from the Rio Grande
valley between Texas and Mexico, and
also Mexican Nationals believe that
changes must be brought in from the
outside.
"The people are very joyous and can
forget troubles easily because they be
lieve life is to be accepted with no ques
tions asked," she added.
"It is common for a migrant to work
In the fields at least 12 hours, and many
times 18 hours," Miss Jeffery explained.
"Sometimes a family of 13 must live
In a two room shack with only two beds,
the rest of the family sleeping on mat-'
tresses on the floor.
Better Life?
"There were several miscarriages dur
ing the summer because of the hard la
bor done by the women," she added.
"Although we consider this way of life
very tragic, the migrant worker sees it
as a way of living better than in Mexi
co," said Miss Jeffery. "They will buy
articles at used clothing sales to send
back to relatives in Mexico."
"The town virtually ostracized
them," she said, "and the few who
wanted to do something didn't know what
to do, or were afraid of what people .
would say. A hepatitis epidemic in the
town gave the people an excuse to ig-.
nore the migrant further. They even
blamed the epidemic on them, despite ,
the fact that the two cases at the camp
were caught in town."

Organization
To Show Film
On Nebraska
A twenty-seven minute
film, This is Nebraska, will
be shown at several campus
organization meetings next
week.
The film is designed to tell
students about Nebraska and
to prompt them to investigate
their state to find out what
it really has to offer.
Don Ferguson, president of
Sigma Delta Chi stated, "The
time has come for the youth
of Nebraska to start thinking
in a positive manner about
the state. It is time that we
recognize that we do have
great opportunities here."
He stated that the future
of the state depends on the
youth and encouraged youth
to be everyday ambassadors
for Nebraska.
The film, produced by Con
sumer Public Power, will be
shown at these times in the
Utile auditorium of the Stu
dent Union:
Monday 7:00 p.m. Resi
dence Association for Men
8:00 p.m. (To be arranged)
9:00 p.m. Innocents
Wednesday 4:00 p.m.
Student Council
7:00 p.m . Interfraternity

Anyone interested in having
the film shown in his living
unit should contact Don Fer
guson at 477-6454. It will be
shown at no cost.
Surveys

and the Anglo American.
Living in a culture within

often end up hating both
societies simultaneously.
Miss Jeffery cited the
example of a little boy
whose Mexican name was
Panchito. "When he ac

CU Controversy Continues
Local Opinions Differ
On President's Action
University President Quigg
Newton was both defended
and attacked concerning his
action on an article in the
Colorado student paper.
Fifty-one faculty members
at the University of Denver
signed a telegram sent to
Sen. Barry Goldwater ex
pressing their resentment of
the senator's recent attack on
the University president.
On the same day the exec
utive committee of the Colo
rado Young Republicans is
sued a resolution against
Newton.
Both groups were prompted
by the controversy stirred by
the Gadfly article "Riding the
Whale."
The telegram sent from DU
read:
"The undersigned faculty
members of the University
of Denver deeply resent your
attack upon President Quigg
Newton, the University of
Colorado, and the basic prin
ciples of free education. We
regard it as a gratuitous in
sult to President Newton and
affirm our confidence in his
resistance to any such at
tempts as yours to subvert
the American tradition of edu
cational freedom."
Only four of the 55 profes
sors approached about signing
the telegram declined.
The Young Republicans'
telegram asked Newton to
deal effectively with individ
Life of Mexican
Miss Jeffery continued by saying that
the factory owner considered the work
ers as machines who were there to do
a job and that was it. She said that he
wanted to get rid of her Illinois co-worker
and herself, because he had been
turned in to his superiors by previous
social workers for bad housing, and it
had cost him $20,000.
Miss Jeffery explained that the only
reason that they were not kicked out was
that he liked them individually. "But he
also did everything he could to close us'
down," she continued. He moved mi
grants into the building we were using
as a center."
Culture Conflict
She explained that the children are
emotionally disturbed because they are
caught between a Mexican culture which

"These children often feel the great
prejudice which is against them. Al
though home to many of them is a bar
racks in Texas with a padlock on the
door, they do not call themselves Ameri
cans; they defend their culture very ve
hemently," she continued. ,
, "These migrant workers start the sea

then the soybean fields, detasseling 'corn,
uals who bring discredit on
the University and on the
state.
The president of the cam
pus Young Republicans, Mer
rill Parsons, said he did not
know of the resolution. He
refused to comment because
members of his group were
divided on the matter. He
did say that generally the
campus GOP's backed the
state group.
In an exchange Goldwater
doubted Newton's concern or
interest to be president of the
University. Newton answered
that he could not comment
on who should be president
but that he could speak on
the question of academic de
mocracy. Eleven Sophomores
Chosen As Tassels
New Tassels have been
chosen from the sophomore
class.
The new members are:

and end the season working in the corn
canning factories. Since they make vir
tually nothing when back in Texas, they
have to earn enough in these months to
carry them through the year," Miss Jeff
ery explained.
"Many times they run out and have
to borrow money to get back up to the
fields to work," she continued. "Often
this borrowing is done from the factory,
so through the years they eventually be
come 'debt slaves.'
"The children can go to school only
three or four months, and therefore are
sometimes up to seven years behind in
their schooling." Miss Jeffery compared
a high school education in their society
to a Ph.D. in the Anglo-American society.
Miss Jeffery cited two experiences
by which the children learned Anglo
American ways and grew to trust them.
, At the beginning of the summer the
children stole the toys which the center
was supposed to loan out. Miss Jeffery
explained that this presented quite a
,problem because they didn't know how
to approach it. Finally they told the chil
dren that they would not be angry if
the toys were returned and that they
expected it by the end of the summer.
She happily said that almost all of the
toys were returned, which showed their
acceptance.
"The migrants loved to cook, and
when they first made brownies, all of
the children grabbed what they could.
Towards the end of the summer they
had found the use of lines allowed every
one to get his fair share," said Miss
Jeffery.
Children's Program
She explained that they had a day
program for the children which started
out with construction of things out of
lumber. Finally they reached the stage
when they could work with clay. Miss

NIA Schedules
Business Meeting
Nebraska International As
sociation (NIA) will hold its
first meeting of the year to
day at 7:30 p.m. in 232-4 Stu
dent Union.
The business meeting will
be followed by a social hour,
according to Mary Ann Beh
len, American co-chairman of
the organization.
She explained that the or
ganization provides a meet
ing ground for discussion to
promote a mutual understand
ing among international and
American students and facul
ty. The program for the year
includes "Cultures on Cam
pus," an international talent
show, and the International
Buffet.
Foreign co-chairman of the

Still Available
James Pittenger, Univer
s i t y ticket manager, an
nounced yesterday that,
there are 1,700 general ad
mission tickets remaining
for the Band Day game
Saturday against North Car
olina State.
"We are not completely
sold out for any game,"
Pittenger said. "The report
has been circulated that
there are no tickets of any
kind remaining for the
North Carolina State and
Missouri games. This is not
true.
All stadium seats for the
North Carolina State and
Missouri games have been
sold. There are both stadi
um and general admission
seats available for Kansas
State and Oklahoma State.
General admission tickets
are available for the Missouri-Nebraska
game.
City Police Clear
Time Limit Rules
Parking traps? Not really,
according to the Lincoln Po
lice Department.
The strict enforcement of
the two hour time limits on
most of the University streets
has led to many arguments
that the city police "are out
to make money."
Students have complained
that although they shift their
cars around to new spots to
avoid parking fines, tickets
are still given.
The final word from the
City Police Department:
"Parking time limits within
any single block may not be
used up more than once dur
ing the morning and once dur
ing the afternoon by any sin
gle driver."

Africans Observe
Uganda Freedom
The African students at the
University will hold their an
nual "Africa Night," tomor
row at 7:30 p.m. in the Stu
dent Union.
More than 25 Africans, rep
resenting a dozen states, will
perform for the public. The
students will commemorate
Uganda's independence.
A number of songs and a
special feature, group drum
ming, will be a part of the
program.
Workers
Jeffery said that they started out with
lumber so the children could have a
place to rid themselves of their hos
tilities. She then cited oue instance when a
little boy cut out this beautiful paper
doll and then took the scissors and stab
bed it to pieces.
"There is no dating among the teen
agers and a girl is not supposed to talk
to a fellow," said Miss Jeffery. "How
ever, this is overcome by having the
boy come to the girl's window at night
to talk. Although they don't date they
go steady by passing notes."
Miss Jeffery said that one of her
most prized possessions was an old dirty
tortilla maker which a family of thirteen
had given her when she left the camp.
Although they had another one in Texas,
they would still be without one for several
more months, so it was really quite im
portant to them.
$5 Gift
"One lady for whom I had translated
when she was in the hospital gave me
$5 when I left," said Miss Jeffery. "This
is an enormous sum for these people to
give away, but the lady told me that it
was the first time she had ever met
someone from the Anglo-American cul
ture who had accepted them as people".
Miss Jeffery stressed the importance
for badly needed legislation to protect
these people. She explained that they
miss out on almost every bit of social
legislation because they move so much.
Although they are eligible for social se
curity, most of them don't know how to
obtain it. She suggested that the Federal
government send money to the towns
where these camps are located, so that
the towns can have a summer school
for these children. r i - A
