Ordinance Prohibits
Leaving Keys In Car
The Lincoln City Council
has put into effect a new or
dinance which states that all
motor vehicles parked on pub
lic streets must not have their
keys left in them and the ig'
nitions must be locked.
According to John Com
stock, who brought the or
dinance up for consideration,
the fine will be same as for
all city ordinances, this be
ing from one to $100 or thirty
days in jail.
The reason for the new
law, he said, was because of
the increasing number of
youths taking cars for "joy
rides."
After talking to the Juven
He judge he found that the
greatest percent of the cars
taken by teen-agers were
cars in which the keys were
left or ignition unlocked.

year will be even greater,"
Hoover said. "The 1965
66 school year will be a cru
cial ones for the University.
We will have additional hous
ing, but increased study and
planning will be required to
handle the continuing enroll
ment increases. The number
of class ' ours per day, al

be extended even further."

bihzed to accept and take
care of the increased enroll
ment this fall which exceed

Hey, Little Honda
Get Out Of My Way
Do you really meet the nic
est people on a Honda?
Outside the Student Union,
across from Andrews Hall,
leaning against the Carillon
Tower, everywhere there are
motor bikes.
One student expressed his
feelings about his bike this
way, "My scooter is private
and very close to me. I don't
want to talk about it in pub
lic." He asked that his name
be withheld.
The main reasons that these
bikes are so popular is that
they are easy to use, econo
mical, and handy. Parking
spaces are at a premium.
The fire hydrant on 14th St.
is constantly hidden by scoot
ers. Students parking in front
of the Student Union often
find that they must wedge
their convertibles in between
two of these machines.
Don Morris, a student from
Big Red Rider Overridden
York who lives in Lincoln
said, "I used this bike this
summer on my job. I rode it
down here this fall. It is a
cheap and easy way to get
around campus, but I may
have trouble this winter
when the roads are bad. I
guess then I will have to walk.
"The only trouble I have is
many drivers just don't see
me. It is a funny feeling to
pull up to a stop and be star
ing at a truck's radiator."
Tom Nickerson drives h i s
scooter to class every day. "I
think that these are much
more fun than cars. I can go
for rides, use it for transpor
tation, but with none of the in
conveniences of an automo
bile. I do feel a little funny;
but I think that these smaller,
newer bikes are more accep
ted than the older motorcycles."

These new names will be
added to those groups who
participated last year.
The groups performed be

John Lonnquist, University
senior, met and visited with
the President of the United
States, the First Lady and
other officials this weekend.
Lonnquist was chosen by
Chancellor Clifford Hardin to
represent the University at a
conference of college student
leaders.
Speeches given by the Presi
dent, Secretary of State Dean
Rusk, Secretary of Labou Wil
lard Wirtz and Secretary of
Defense Robert McNamara
explained the need for leader
ship in this country. Lonn
quist said they stressed the
idea that the students would
be the leaders of the -country
in the next generation.
Johnson explained a pro
gram that he wanted to de
velop. The program, White
House Fellows, would consist
of young men who wouldlwork
with the cabinet members for
18 months.
Lonnquist said that the
president was impartial. "I do of the city, and to see the

you in any other way," the
President said.
A reception was held in the
Blue Room, and Lynda Bird
Johnson was the hostess for
the dinner which was held in
the State Dining Room.
The meal was a buffet. "I
saw Secretary Rusk standing
by himself so I went over and
talked to him about the 'pri
vate interest' question. We
had been talking about this at
the house, and I wanted to
find out what the real story
was," Lonnquist said.
After dinner at a program
in the East Room, the Chad
Mitchel Trio and Stan Getz
performed.
The entertainment signaled
the end of the program. "I

Buster Lives
In Gather Hall
Without Tige
Buster Brown does not wear
a school boy blouse or wide
brimmed hat. He doesn't have
a dog, Tige, who lives in a
shoe.
Buster Brown is a Univer
sity junior who has never to
his knowledge worn Buster
Brown shoes. He lives in Cath
er Hall.
Buster Jack Brown was so
named by his parents be
cause his father, Jack was
nicknamed Buster. "There is
always someone asking me
where my dog is," he said.
The name has provided fun
for fellow classmates and
teachers too. "When I was
a freshman English student
the professor called roll.
Mr. Brown, he said, "How's
the shoe business?' "
Brown told of an experience
as a second semester tresn
man. "I ordered a couple 85
cent pizzas from Valentino's
and gave them my name.
When we went to pick them
up there were no pizzas
ready. They thought it was
a joke."
Just this week when Brown
went to the coliseum to get
his season football ticket, the
woman stared when she heard
his name as if to say, "I've
been through all this all day
no jokes from you please."
Brown has an uncle with a
name perhaps more unusual
than his own. The uncle,
Green Brown, was so named
before middle or names were
given. "He decided he wanted
a middle name too and de
cided upon (bet you couldn't
guess) Purple. Green Purple
Brown."
If that wasn't enough.
Brown also has a twin sister,
Barbara Jane.
