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,

Christy Minstrels

Though tickets have been
selling better for the New
Christy ' Minstrels than they
did for Peter, Paul and Mary
last year, there are still tick

ranges, according to George
Schlochauer, Union Special
Events committee chairman.
A total of 5,800 tickets have
been sold for the Saturday

be purchased at the Un

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

prejudice. "No one doubts his

Christy founded a group
called the Virginia Minstrels
in 1842. 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

Sorensen said that leaders
today need "more than loyal

justice and the ability to re

"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

Five finalists will be chosen
and each of these will do a 30

The judges will annouce the

A parade will be formed at
6:15 p.m. at the Carrillon

Student Council yesterday
defeated 21 to 12 a motion
that the forthcoming Consti

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

Five per cent of the fresh

Student Affairs.
English, history, zoology,
biology, philosophy and polit
ical science are the honors
courses offered. Political sci

thereby relieving the o v e r
crowded history course.
Last year 144 freshmen par

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

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

more people could have
gone," Churney said.
It was announced that Gov

group.

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.

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

so that they are no more dif

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

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."

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

Wednesday and fraternities
can again begin pledging men.
There will be an IFC Pledge

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

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:

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?

motion recommending that
the date for Honors Convo
cation be changed from April
27 to April 13.
