HOMECOMING QUEEN
Independents Propose Block Vole I
It is hard to believe that the inde
pendents on this campus really want to
have good relations with the Greeks.
Though almost any independent that
you talk to is almost bitter about the
"domination" of Greeks in all aspects
of life here at the University activities,
social, etc., they will say how hard they
try to meet the Greeks in cementing a
lasting good will between the two groups.
Vet when the University student body
goes to the polls to elect a Homecom
ing Queen to represent the University
they (the independents) are the first to
withdraw within themselves in petty and
selfish actions to get an independent
elected to beat the Greeks!
For years the independents have
cried unfair at the Greek practice of
block voting. They had a legitimate com
plaint based on the principle of dem
ocratic elections. So the Greeks took it,
upon themselves to set up penalties to
be invoked against any house or houses
practicing block voting in any election.
This ruling is very effective because it
is a rather simple matter to discover
when houses are asking their members
to block vote. The Greeks took a long
step towards meeting the independents
and coming to an understanding.
The independents on the other hand
have taken up the practice of block
voting which the Greeks have made a
thing of sin for themselves. As an ex
ample we cite the Oct. 30 issue of the
RAM Newsgram (a weekly publication of
RAM for the men at the University).
We have been reading the contents of
this sheet for sometime now and are
concerned about the lack of responsibil
ity in which it is printed. It is no won
der that independents are hostile to
Greeks because of the aggressive tone
of this sheet's editorials and news on
the subject of Greeks and their relation
ship with independents.
On the subject' of the Homecoming
election the Newsgram predicts a sched
uled "block vote" for Wednesday's elec
tion and that fraternities and sororities
on campus have banded together to elect
the "three T's" Titian, Tenhulzen and
Thorough." It continues to say that since
the students must vote for three the
Greeks had decided to "crush us (inde
pendents) with their big three."
Then the Newsgram proposed the fol
lowing question and solution:
"Do we want the Greeks to break
our two year record of Independent
Homecoming Queens? . . . suggest that
as an alternative to Greek domination
we 'fight fire with fire' and vote for
three candidates of our own . . . re
ferring to the only independent candi
date, Kathy Vollmer and two from small
sororities Connie Cochrane and Sharon
Ross."
Never has such a flagrant contam
ination of the democratic ballot been
proposed even when Greeks did block
vote.
Elsewhere on the editorial page the
Newsgram has re-printed a section
out of context from the Sigma Phi
Epsilon pledge manual and states: "It
is not our intention to go into any har
angue about 'what fellowship hath light
with darkness,' but rather to let the
Greeks display their own motives and
leave the reader to judge."
In our opinion the independents have
shown the same irresponsibility that the
Greeks had shown, but have realized
and have taken steps to correct, by call
ing upon the independents to participate
in narrow minded, petty block voting in
order to continue their two-year winning
streak.
Take It Easy . . . But Take It
How sweet victory is to the tired
Cornhusker hearts who have savored
each Scarlet touchdown in the past,
treasured each and every of the victor
ies and longed for winning seasons.
Well, we have one and the season is
barely half over! !
Enough of this talk of the quality
of the teams that the Huskers have de
feated, they have been victorious, and
that's all that counts, that is the reason
for playing football. I wonder if Bob De
vaney, his staff and players will ever
know how welcome the victories are?
This winning football team seems almost
like a panacea on the campus.
In one respect it
doesn't matter what the
Huskers do in the rest of
the games. Nebraska's
hats are tipped to De
vaney for his winning
season.
The team is no doubt
preparing for a tough go
in the league. They have
a lot of work to do. But
what about us fans?
What about us who spec
ulate all week long about the game, go
over to the stadium a half hour early, sit
down and enjoy the labors of the team?
Maybe we should look at the rest of
the season, too.
Every football team needs support,
MacLean
by mike maelean
this team both needs and deserves all
the support we can muster. I don't care I
if they don't go undefeated, we should
really get behind them for the tough I
games to come.
In talking to a newcomer to our cam- I
pus who is very much impressed with I
our school and our team, he stated that j
he had never seen such poor cheerlead-
ing or such a lack of enthusiasm in the
stands. And this is true with a team 1
that is only the 3rd one since 1940 to f
have a winning season!
Let's not forget that while the rest
of us are parked comfortably in the
Crib or at Duffey's every afternoon, the
team is out practicing hard toward one f
goal winning.
In several other columns I wrdte
about the team, its weak points, strong
points and its chances. Everybody that
is interested in the team has their opin
ions on the outcome of the rest of the
season. In football, as in any affair in
volving people, one can never be sure
of the outcome.
One thing for sure, though, is that
the Nebraska football team will be giv
ing all It has got In the next four games as
it has in the last six. No matter what
the outcome is, I think that the least
we can do is get behind them all the
way.
Giv'em Hell, Huskers! !

A lot of students m a y
be wondering what hap
pened in the Bob Nye
case. Nye, a 19-year-old
University student, was
arrested Oct. 13 by the
Lincoln Police and was
held in jail overnight.
Nye was arrested at the
North Carolina State-Nebraska
football game for
going through the gate
without a ticket at half
lime, according to the po
lice. Nye had left the
game at halftime and re
turned without a ticket.
He walked by a scout and
was soon apprehended by
city police officers.
A brief scuffle followed
when, according to spec
tator Jim Penny (as quot
ed in the Oct. 15 Daily
Nebraskan), one of the
patrolmen forced Nye's
hand behind his back and
repeatedly jabbed him in
the ribs. Nye did resist to
a degree and was hauled
off to the police station.
He was placed in jail
overnight on an "open
charge" and was released
Sunday morning to see
his lawyer. He was
scheduled to appear in
court Monday (Oct. 15)
but there were no charges
filed against him.
Three days ago, almost
three weeks after the in
cident, Bill Blue, Lancas
ter deputy attorney, said
that any charge against
Nye had been dropped.
Blue said that it was
dropped because of many
reasons, but he Tefused to
give any specifics on the
incident.
Lincoln Police Chief
Joseph Carroll told this
WTiter that Nye was ori
ginally arrested for dis
turbing the peace and
booked on an "open
charge." This procedure
enables the Lincoln Po
lice to hold a suspect for
a "reasonable length of
time (which is regarded
as till the next session of
court)," according to
Chief Carroll.
A suspect arrrested on
this "open charge" is
permitted to call his law
yer providing he is not
drunk. He is sometimes
released to members of
the bar association on a
"gentlemans agreement"
that is that he will show
up at court, according to
Carroll.
Nye's comment on the
entire mess is interesting.
"The police lieutenant
never established the fact
that I did or did not have
a ticket. All three police
reports stated that I was
never struck. I don't see
how they determined I
was disturbing the peace;
it was my peace they dis
turbed." The whole thing boils
down to the fact that the
police made an error in
judgment that while
they conceivably did
have the right to eject
Nye from the game the
jailing of him was un
called for.
They've made a mis
take and have admitted
that they're wrong only
by dropping the charge
against Nye.
What we would like to
see is not only an apology
but an assurance that this
type of unwarranted ac
tion does not again hap
pen to a University stu
dent. Speaking of the police
protection at NU games,
Chief Carroll said that
two shifts of fifty police
men are assigned to help
out at the Husker games.
Their function is to help
with the traffic and keep
law and order, he noted.
The police do a good
job at the games and this
case is just one speci
fied incident in which in
correct judgment was ap
parently involved.
While the officers them
selves are certainly nec
essary for the protection
of the players and specta
tors, how about the dogs?
Is it necessary to have
these canines continually
frightening the small chil
dren in the bleacher
seats?
Also what might hap
pen, if, after Nebraska
knocks off Missouri to-,
morrow, the students de
cide to take a run on the
goal posts, much in the
same fashion as was done
at Colorado? Pity the poor
soul who is the first vic
tim of one of the hounds.
Changing from criti
cism to the gridiron, this
corner will tb the Hus
kers to whip the Mizzou
Tigers by one touchdown
after a tough fight.
On another matter
friend and foe alike are
invited to DB&G for 21st
festivities next Tuesday.
, , . Oh yes, seems that
this date is also election
day so all activities will
be' postponed till 8 p.m.,
official starting hour.
