With the Oklahoma game now just
days away, the entire student -body has
gone spirit crazy.
A victory bonfire at the Sigma Alpha
Mu house, a giant orange in the Kapoa
Alpha Theta yard, gigantic tracks in the
street left by an enormous painted foot
ball player, flourescent orange "tennies,"
and a predominance of red clothing in
cluding Gamma Phi Beta garters are now
common sights on the NU campus.
A proclamation from the Governor's
office and confirmation of the NU-OU lo
cal telecast have also added emphasis to
the Tassel's "Let's Go To The Orange
Bowl Week."
The proclamation signed Monday by
Gov. Frank Morrison designates this
Saturday as Nebraska Football Cham
pionship Day.
Gov. Morrison recalled the state's
"great heritage of rugged accomplish
ments" and the "Spirit of the pioneers
who conquered the prairie and built a
great state," adding that the present
Husker football team "represents the un
conquerable spirit of the Stale of Nebras
ka." Saturday's game, a meeting of the
Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Oklahoma
Sooners for first place in the Big Eight
Conference, is a complete sellout, and will
be locally televised. Athletic director Tip
py Dye announced Monday morning that
the NCAA has granted permission for
KOLN-KGIN TV. channel 10 of Lincoln
and Grand Island, to televise the game
live.
Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity members
Monday night lit an "Eternal Victory
Fire," which will burn until game time
Saturday. Between two and three hundred
persons were present "for the lighting of
the fire. The crowd sang University pep
songs and cheered before and after the
ceremoney.
Roger Smith, president of Sigma Al
pha Mu, said that several sororities have
placed spirit signs around the fire and
others are invited to do so.
Among the other house projects which
add spirit and color to preparations for
the game is the Theta orange of super
proportions, which reminds spectators
that a victory Saturday would place the
Huskers in strong contention for an in
vitation to the Orange Bowl in Miami,
Jan. 1.
The nocturnal giant, whose leaping
strides follow 16th street t6 S Street and
around the Mall to the Stadium, presently
lies before the stadium with the words
"On to Miami," painted below him. The
painting was the work of some Cather
Hall residents and appeared early Mon
day morning.
The half-time show, presented by the
University Band, will feature a song writ
ten in honor of the Huskers and never
before presented, according to Don Lentz,
director of University Bands.
University students will be dusting off books in prepa
ration for the new University Quiz Bowl, which will be set
into operation Dec. 18.
Prospective competitors for Quiz Bowl can get applica
tion blanks in their various living units, from campus or
ganizations, departmental heads and the Student Council
office. The applications are due in the Student Council office
Dec. 18.
Competitors will have fun but the purpose is to em-

FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP DAY for Nebraska on Saturday was proclaimed by
Gov. Frank Morrison Monday. University students Bob Weaver and Betsy Nore look
at the declaration which states that the football team "represents the unconquerable
spirit of the state."
A decrease in agricultural
products utilization funds
from the State Department of
Agriculture may necessitate
a cut-back in utilization pro
jects at the University Col
lege of Agriculture this fiscal
year, Dean Elvin F. Frolik
said recently.
Frolik said his office has
been notified that $89,000 will
be available from the special
fund for utilization projects in
the Agricultural Experiment
Station this year. This con
trasts with $135,735 expended
last year and against $147,000
requested for this fiscal year.
The $46,000 decrease m a y
alter plans for continuing uti
lization projects in. castor
beans, wheat quality and high
amylose corn.
A cut-back in the castor
bean production research
work in the Hastings area
may be necessary and the
State Department of Agricul
ture has indicated it will ter
minate support for this pro
ject and the wheat quality pro
ject as of July 1, 1964.
As a result of the cut it is
hoped that federal funds may
be available for re-instate-ment
of the utilization pro-
College Continues
Selling Cigarettes
Springfield, Mass (CPS)
A referendum designed to pro
hibit the sale of cigarettes
on the Springfield College
campus was defeated last
Thursday by the student
body.
No further action relevant
to this issue is expected im
mediately. By the vote, the
student body expressed its de
sire to the Springfield Student
Council, which originated the
measure, to continue the sale
of cigarettes.
The Springfield Student,
campus newspaper at the col
lege said, "The health hazard
was recognized by all parties,
yet perhaps the failure of the
referendum was due to the
student's belief that Student
Council's desire to make the
health hazard of cigarette
smoking evident to the stu
dent body has been accomplished."

jects and possible expansion
of the work, Frolik said.
Pearle Finagan, state sec
retary of Agriculture, said the
cut was necessary because an
ticipated federal funds avail
able to the state had ndt yet
materialized.
The amounts spent last
year and available this year
were provided by using Fed
eral rural rehabilitation
funds, made available to t h e
state a year ago. Finigan still
hopes for more from this or
from an alternate fund source.
Other new projects recent
ly started at Nebraska with
Federal support include re
search in wheat quality im
provement, and investiga
tions of enzymatic reactions
of starches.

The Quiz Bowl Committee plans to test its teams over
television and radio, in the Big Eight Competition May 12,
and finally in national competition.
In a letter sent to faculty members, Dan Wherry, Quiz
Bowl Committee Chairman, said, "We hope to reach sev
eral goals through the Bowl. One goal is to put the Uni
versity's scholars in the limelight. This will emphasize
academics and foster over-all campus scholastic competi
tion. Through inter-university competition, the Bowl offers
increased opportunities for contact with other universities.
It will also strengthen and build up the University's reputa
tion from the intra-university level through the state legisla
ture to the national level.
Wherry also said that teams of four members and two
alternates can be formed through individual students get
ting togther or teams can represent living units and or
ganizations. However, one student may participate on only
ore team. The final team that will go to the national Quiz
Bowl will consist of the best members of these competing
teams.
Goldwater Defended
In Tuesday Speech
"A series of a dozen little
incoherent paragraphs"
was the phrase used by Dick
Recker in a rebuttal of Gary
Lacey's editorial in last Fri
day's Daily Nebraskan. Reck
er made his speech yester
day at the Nebraska Youtn
for Goldwater meeting.
Recker directed the brunt
of his attack at Lacey's open
ing statement: "The man
will not say whether he is
affiliated with the John Birch
Society, nor will he comment
against it". Recker said "This
is a gross mis-representation
of the truth".
Recker said the Senator has
stated his stand on the John
Birch issue. Recker said in
his speech that the Senator
has stated he is not a mem
ber and while he strongly dis
approves of Mr. Welch, he
cannot find fault with their
goal of fighting Communism.
Recker said that Goldwater
has stated his belief that the
John Birch Society should
have a right to exercise their
constitutional right of free
dom of association as well
as the ADA or the John
Birch's counterpart on the
radical left.
Recker also stated during
his speech that Lacey should
"acquire a little more ma
turity before he attempts to
make attacks on presidential
candidates."
When asked what he meant
by that statement, Recker re
plied simply "The article was
not a sign of a very mature
person."
In other business brought
up at the meeting, six
new Goldwater Girls were
announced. They are:
Kathy Gates, Ann Hastert,
Gwynn Showalter, Mary
Valsik, Sue Woodfill, and
Marge Cornell.
An election was also held
yesterday for new officers.
Bob . V 1 a s a k, president;
Kathy Gates, vice president;
Connie Rasmussen, secre
tary; Ken Swedburg, treas
urer; and Dean Conley, State
representative.
Six Named As Queen Finalists
Alums Given No Edge For Jobs At NU
By Marv McNeff
Ag News Editor
"We look for the best man
available at the time, regard
less of the place he received
his degrees," Dr. Adam
Breckenridge, vice-chancellor
and dean of faculties said in
response to questions regard
ing University policies on hir
ing its own graduates.
Dr. Breckenridge said the
University has no policy as
such regarding the faculty
staff selection; qualifications
govern the choice of the man.
In 1960 the Glenny report
on higher education in Ne
braska concluded that the
28.5 of the University facul
ty members who had earned
their highest degree from a
Nebraska institution was a
high figure for a state univer-lity.
Since the University is the
only institution in the state
which offers a doctoral pro
gram, it is apparent that
most of the 28.5 received
their degrees from the Uni
versity. The department of Ag Eco
nomics, according to verified
information from the faculty
bulletin, has eight members
on the teaching staff. Of this
number 50 did their bache
lor's work here, with 62 do
ing master's work. According
to a department spokesman,
if the staff member has done
Ph.D. work elsewhere, suffi
cient outside philosophy is
brought in to avoid a stero
typed departmental viewpoint.
The department of chemis
try is in sharp contrast to Ag
Economics, with no perman
ent staff members having any
background at Nebraska at
any level. Dr. Edward Wash
burn, chairman, said his de
partment purposely does not
hire University graduates,
mentioning this avoids the de
velopment of vested interests
among staff members.
He said that at some East
ern institutions where the hir
ing of their own graduates is
an accepted practice, the in
centive to do something new,
and competition among the
staff becomes dulled; the in
structors teaching only what
they were taught by their al
ma mater's instructors.
In the department of busi
ness organization and man
agement, 9 out of 19 staff
members did bachelor's work
at Nebraska, according to
Clifford Hicks, chairman of
the department.
Hicks emphasized that the
department follows a policy
of balance, noting that most
members of the staff have
Ph.D's from other schools. He
mentioned that experience at
other institutions between the
time of graduation and hiring
by the University should not
be overlooked.
The Ag College's depart
ment of Agronomy, with 21
teaching staff members, lists
6 as undergraduates of the
University. Eight staff mem
bers received their master's
degree from here, and 4 the
Ph.D.
A point which should be con
sidered is the time span dur
ing which the degrees are ac
quired, in most cases nunv
bering several years, thus
being less apt to cause de
velopment of a department
viewpoint
