...V ... I r. M fi Vol. 78, No. 11 The Daily Nebraskan Thursday, October 8, 1964 Innocents, M'sVie Tonight The Innocents Society will have a chance at revenge on the Mortar Boards tonight as the two groups meet in a bat tle of wits in a Quiz Bowl match. The match will be held at 8 p.m. tonight in the Union conference rooms. Although the match was originally scheduled for the Union Ball Room, the change was made to facilitate KNUS, which is broadcasting the match. This year the Mortar Board team is made up of JoAnne Strateman, Nancy Holmquist, Peggy King and Barb Pand Zik Grupe. The Innocents team consists of Tom Kort, Dave Kittams, Mike Barton and John Lonn quist. Last year the Innocents were defeated 230-190 by the Mortar Boards. Commenting on a return match, a Mortar Board spokesman last year said "I'm sure we could pull through again." However, the fellas don't see it that way! Mike Barton, team member for the Inno cents this year said "Girls aren't that smart. Our super ior manpower will carry the day." The Quiz Bowl program Is set up primarily for the pur pose of emphasizing academ ics and fostering scholastic competition. When the program was set up last year, Dan Wherjry, chairman, said, "We hope to reach several goals through the Bowl. One goal is to put the University'. scholars in the limelight. This will emphasize academics and foster over all campus scholastic compe tition. Through inter-university competition, the Bowl of fers increased opportunities for contact with other univer sities. "It will also strengthen and build up tbe University's reputation from the intra-unl-versity level through the state legislature to the national le vel,"' he said. For those inte rested in be ing on a tet.ii, applications may be picked up from house presidents and dormitory counselors and must be turn ed in to the Student Council office by Oct. 13. Sorensen Addresses Philip Sorensen, Democrat ic candidate for Lt. Governor explained the differences be tween liberals and conserva tives to almost 200 Young Democrats last night. Sorensen said that a liberal must not follow all the 'lib eral' proposals in Congress, but the real difference lies in his attitude of the relation ship between the means and the ends. "I think that the real dif ference Is In basic attitudes, we won't adopt their means," Sorensen said. Karen Nelsen, president of Young Democrats read a quote from Goldwater. "The child does not have the right, he has the liberty to seek an education. I look on education as a civil liberty and have said many times that we edu cate children that are not benefitted by it. I asked Sec retary of Labor Goldberg about this. He said one of the big needs in solving unem ployment in the future would be more college educated workers. I don't think he has any history to bear that out. It is my experience that in many fields a high school ed ucation in which a boy can study manual arts Is all that is needed." Miss Nelsen commented on the article, "The future of your nation, university and your future is up to you. We must get to work. It is our responsibility and moral duty to do so." Sorensen questioned wheth er Goldwater really believed that children needed an education, LITTLE MAN '-AMP MOW STUPENTS, DEAN HERE 5 A LETTER FOK 1 Ul A-iii ri i a oi irr V BROWN..

A total of 5,800 tickets have been sold for the Saturday night performance. Schloc hauer said that tickets could be purchased at the Un ion until 5 p.m. Saturday. Tickets will also be on sale at the door of Pershing. The history of the name New Christy Minstrels can be What's A Sorensen said, "What is his philosophy? It is not our phi losophy or the philosophy of the Republican Party." "His means alone are enough to make me vote against him," said Sorensen. Sorensen added that he had no positive programs. People vote for Goldwater as a means to vote or voice them selves against other issues. "Goldwater is exploiting fear," said Sorensen. "We must realize that there is no quick simple answer to our problems, there is a long term answer. We need pa tience, strength, and under standing," said Sorensen. Sorensen said that Goldwa ter exploits the 'backlash' and prejudice.

The group was suc cessful in the south and west. Christy brought his group to New York where they played more than 2,500 per formances in six years. They were biilled as "the first to harmonize and originate the present type of minstrelsy." This was the group which made popular the songs, "Old Folks at Home," "Oh, Su sanna," and "Camptown Races." Randy Sparks is the group's Liberal? sincerity or honesty. But we have a man who is running for Railway Commissioner from the fifth district who is better qualified to be presi dent that Goldwater is." Sorensen said that leaders today need "more than loyal ty they need compassion, justice and the ability to re late means to the ends." "Goldwater got control of the Republican party because no one else was concerned. Mis group, though small was dedicated. The other party members were booking at the party in a distance, whereas the Goldwater people worked at this night and day," Sor ensen said. "People must give more time and money to the party. Determine Five finalists will be chosen and each of these will do a 30 second "Gamecock Stomp." The judges will annouce the winner and a trophy will he awarded to the best "Game cock Stomper." A parade will be formed at 6:15 p.m. at the Carrillon Tower and will move to the south steps of the Student Un ion. The first event will be the introduction of the ten Homecoming queen finalists who were announced last Fri day. The Homecoming queen fin alists and the bands partici pating in Band Day will also be presented in a parade in Lincoln Saturday at 10 a.m. Coemof A? hi By Priscilla Mullins and Jim Korshoj Student Council yesterday defeated 21 to 12 a motion that the forthcoming Consti tutional Convention be com posed of not less than 50 voting delegates. The motion was made by Andy Taube, who then yielded the floor to Jim Moore, whom Taube said he was represent ing. ; In discussion of the motion, Moore asked why the present set-up called for 20 delegates, rather than a larger number. Mike Barton then read the executive council's opinion employed in setting up t h e convention. The opinion stated that a more coherent consti Honors Courses Enroll 139 Talented freshmen Five per cent of the fresh man class, 139 students, is en rolled in honors courses this semester, according to Lee Chatfield. associate dean of Student Affairs. English, history, zoology, biology, philosophy and polit ical science are the honors courses offered. Political sci ence was added this year, thereby relieving the o v e r crowded history course. Last year 144 freshmen par ticipated in the honors pro gram, which included math ematics. This year math and chemistry will be offered as second semester honors courses. "Students are selected to Appear Saturday founder and director. He Is the oldest member at 30., Art Podell, Nick Woods, Barry McGuire, Clarence Treat. Ann White, Barry Kane, Larry Ramos, Karen Gunderson and Paul Potash are the singing members of the group. President Lyndon Johnson, for his first state dinner had the New Christy Minstrels en tertain. Italy's President Antonio Segni, who tapped his feet to the Minstrel's singing, said, "It is a type of music that Europe should know more about." YO's Politics and government are very much a part of our daily lives. Democrats can succeed only iif we work. We must dedicate a large part of our lives in order to have our goals followed," he said. Speaking about his own campaign, Sorensen said, "I feel that we need an active Lt. Governor. A man who can work with the Governor. I feel that the job is important, it must be kept." "After the primary, my op ponent (Charles Thone) said that he thought that he would win by 100,000 votes. Why is he spending so much money if he is sure of victory?" "I think that this fall Ne braska wiill have a complete ly Democratic statehouse, and I feel that we will win the congressional races." President Karen Nelsen coined a new meaning for the letters GOP. She said that a woman came to Democratic headquarters and told her that she was a Republican. After about a half an hour, the woman said, "Do you know what GOP stands for?" Miss Nelsen paused and then said, "Goldwater's Our Prob lem." Bob Churney gave a report of the bus trip to Omaha to hear Vice-presidential candi date Hubert Humphrey. "Humphrey is a great man. I feel that this was a reward ing experience, I just wish more people could have gone," Churney said. It was announced that Gov ernor Frank Morrison will at tend the next meeting of the group. Still 20 Delegates tution could be written by a smaller number of delegates. Moore replied he felt there is a need for a wide range of students voting before the constitution is brought to the student body in a general election. "With the present number, he said, ten or twelve could pass a constitu tion." Sue Graham said she agreed that a larger number of dele gates should be selected. She suggested t.'sis number could divide into committees which would each formulate a por tion of the constitution. Skip Soiref said cross-section representation would be the same whether the number were 20 or 50. participate in the program on the basis of three criteria," Chatfield said. They must be in the upper 10 of their graduating class, must have straight A averages in the subject matter concerned, and their scaled test score must equal an 8 or 9 in the University grading scale, or be in the 98-99 percentile. "We also take into account the intelligence tests they have taken. We try to be very careful in selecting stu dents because it can do great emotional damage to someone who can't handle the honors course," Chatfield said. "We are gradually expand ing the program a d d i n g more departments every year," he said, lhis year Economics 11, an accounting course and all language cour ses are offered in the "ad vanced placement" program "Fe try to plan the courses so that they are no more dif ficult for the selected stu dent then the regular course is for the other students, he said. "Often the honors students respond to the challenge of the honors courses and ride along in their other courses. Often their grades in the hon ors courses are much better than the other courses," Chat field said. Nearly 80 per cent of the Students are invited by the middle of April. They receive personal letters signed by the chairman of the department of the particular honors course, inviting them to par ticipate in the program. "Most students, or their mothers, are apprehensive before they start the hon ors program, but not after ward," Chatfield said. "In most cases the profes sors are able to tell in four weeks the 5-10 percent that are not capable of the hon ors course. We advise the professors to suggest to those students that perhaps they would be happier in the reg ular course," he said. "Of course we have had some problems, but have been generally successful in our selection of students. T h e se lection of the professor is important too," Chatfield said. "We are trying to move toward a deeper intellectual experience for the unusually able student. In this way the University might learn bet ter methods of presentation and teaching," he said. E TV Programs Span Nebraska Institutions More than 75,000 elementary and secondary school children across Nebraska are viewing in-school educational televi sion programs this fall, ac cording to Victor Christensen, director of the Nebraska Coun cil for Educational Television (ETV). Christensen said the Nebras ka Council, which supports and coordinates the ETV pro grams, is composed of 46 schools, 10 more than last year at this time. Each mem ber school is assessed on a per-student basis. The programs are seen on the University television sta tion, KUON-TV, Channel 12; KETV, Channel 7, Omaha; KIIOL-TV. Channel 13, Hold rge; KHPL-TV, Channel 6, Hayes Center; and KDUH-TV, Channel 4, Hay Springs. es MoWot John Klein asked if any ex perts or Robert's Rules of Or der had been consulted in set ting up the Convention. . JoAnne Strateman remind ed Council members that the Convention will not be gov erned by Student Council, and therefore will not be bound to follow Robert's Rules. John Cosier said, "the pos sibility of 12 people out of 12, 000 passing this constitution really scares me." Galen Frenzen said he be lieved that representation will not be a problem, since there will be open meetings at which the student body may express feelings. Frenzen said that he didn't think "the twelve will try to go against the wishes of the other 12, 000." Miss Graham said she felt that a larger representation would allow for broader range of thought. She pointed out that if 50 voting delegates were present at the Conven tion, the student body would feel more secure, knowing more people were involved in drafting the constitution. Larry Frolik said he w a s sure that capable delegates would be chosen by the deans. "Also," he added, "there will be no clique of 12 people who will try to ramrod something through." Mark Beech, an interested IFC Vote Campaign Set Oct. 31 The IFC "Get Out and Vote" campaign will begin Oct. 31st with the attaching of reminders to flowers sold by Corn Cobs. Also included will be banners on cars, signs on the Union and stadium, a flash in the card section at the football games and ban ners at half time. Open rush will begin Wednesday and fraternities can again begin pledging men. There will be an IFC Pledge Trainer Workshop tonight at 8 o'clock. Also announced was the fact that the Fraternity Tutoring System will begin in the near future. This year the sessions are planned to be held on Sunday evenings. IFC is looking into the pos sibility of closing "S" street from 16th street to the corner of Selleck Quadrangle. This area would then be used for recreation by the students. The consideration arose from the problem of students play ing football and other games on the sidewalks. Home fc Dr. Virginia Trotter, direc tor of the School of Home Economics, announced this week the annual Home Econ omics Day for Homemakers program, which will be held Moot Court Elects Juniors Members Eleven University Law Col lege juniors have been elec ted members of the school's Allen Moot Court governing board. The new members, chosen because of high scholastic records achieved in their freshman year of law school, begin their work this month by supervising fourteen mock arguments before the Su preme Court of the fictional State of Allen. The arcuments involve the participation of fifty-seven junior law students, ana Ke place in the moot court room of the Law College. The mock cases involve legal questions ranging from a liberal action against a political candidate to the ef fect of psychiatric disorder on insurance recovery. New board members are: Gary Brouillette, John Carl son, Vernon Duncan, Eric Eisonhart, Thomas Fitchett. Donald Hays, Leland Kovar ik, Robert Lingo. Stephen Olson, Earl Scudder and Steven Segan. student given the floor by President Lydick, said, "We want not coherence, but di versity." He said there would be more incentive on the part of in dividuals to "get in and fight for their ideas if they were voting delegates rather than spectators." Don Voss then said he felt that the smaller number of delegates would provide a more coherent group. After the vote, Moore asked th Council if, "since the Con vention runs its own course," the Convention could call for more voting people to sit in on the Convention. Miss Strateman and John Klein both said that since the Convention was severed from Student Council, the council could not prevent this. Miss Strateman told the Council that there will be a legal advisor for the Conven tion, and such questions should be referred to him. Klein pointed out that the problem is that "We don't know where the authority is in this situation." In response to Cosier's re mark that the Council set it up, Shirley Voss told the Coun cil that they were asked to do so by the Faculty Senate. Miss Strateman pointed out that there is no precedent for such action. "We must act in good faith," she said. "There is no provision made in our present constitution." In other Council business, Susie Segrist reported that all student activities have ex pired their term of approval by Student Council. Each ac tivity must gain reapproval from the Council's Activities Committee within the near future. John Cosier reported that a student opinion poll will be taken in conjunction with the Homecoming elections con cerning the Daily Nebraskan. The poll will ask each stu dent's opinion on the amount of advertising in the paper and for suggestions on how to help remedy the poor finan cial condition of the paper. They will be given four choices on this question: 1. Would they favor a fifty cent increase in their tui tion to aid the paper? 2. Would they favor reduc ing the number of papers printed each week from four to three? 3. Would they favor having only half as many papers printed daily? 4. Would they favor doing away with a University newspaper? The Council also passed a motion recommending that the date for Honors Convo cation be changed from April 27 to April 13. Day Set October 21 and will feature the personalities, program and progress of the new school. The day will get underway at the College Activities Build ing on the ag-icultural cam pus at" 8:30 a.m. The special day for home makers is being planned to acquaint women with the field of Home Economics. Over 600 women from throughout Ne braska attended the event in 1963. According to Dr. Trotter, those attending will have a chance to meet each of the five department chairmen of the School and to see slides interpreting subjects covered in each department. To fur ther acquaint the women with the School of Home Econom ics, a skit will be presented by college students showing the Life of an NU Home Econom ics student. In the afternoon, the wom en will travel via slides to Russia and Ireland as Dr. Trotter and Apes Arthaud, State Extension Leader, dis cuss family life in these two countries, based on respective trips bv the two ladies. Musical entertainment will be provided by the Washing ion County Home Extension Chorus.
