Portray the Female Sex
"Mad, Mad Mania," or
''How to portray the female
sex with really trying," was
presented in the Kosmet
Khib show Saturday night.
It seemed that the skits
were in competition as to
who could portray a girl as
to draw the most laughs and
be the most realistic. The
Delta Upsilon's were prob
ably the best at capturing
affeminate antics and trans
fering them to the stage.
They did a good job of act
ing out their parts. And
then there was the Theta
Xi girl on the honda. She
was almost as good as the
bunnies.
This year's Kosmet Klub
presentation was probably
the most entertaining in the
last four years. The groups
had worked hard on their
skits and the final product
showed it.
The judges definitely
made the right decision in
their choice. The Kappa
Sigma portrayal of the stu
dent was excellent. Also,
their imitations of the ad
ministration were hilarious.
It was easy to pick out
Chancellor Hardin, Dean
Ross. Dean Martin, Dean
Hallgren, Vice Chancellor
Breckenridge and Vice
Chancellor Soshnik. The
make-up was tremendous
on these individuals.

MY word, I said to my
self, it must be the mating
season. I was on the mall in
front of the coliseum at 1:45
p.m. Saturday. The sound in
question came from the di
rection of the columns.
BLAAHEAUX ! ! !
Another one, this one
over by Morrill Hall,
sounding very lonely. There
must have been a whole
herd of them.
Not wanting to be caught
at the scene of the confron
tation, i for who wants to be
gored by a pair of love
sick water buffalo?) I ran
into the stadium to watch a
football game, which is
what I was doing over there
in the first place.
It was there that I found
out what the obscene
noises were big plastic
Swiss goat-caller horns
used by the Oklahoma State
rooters to cheer occasional
ly and by the Nebraska
rooters to cheer very often
in fact they were used by
the Nebraska sections to
cheer no matter how the
game was going.
But that's beside the
point. You can call it a fad,
if you want to (and quite a
disgusting one, according to
the characters behind me
who complained about get
ting a headache. But they
were just jealous because
they didn't have one.)
I call it a heartwarming
example of spontaneous
school spirit not that man
ufactured garp that all of us
who suffered through a los
ing season with a small
high school were subjected
to, but real patriotism.
There is a world of dif
ference between manufac
tured and spontaneous
spirit; each has its place,
but spontaneous spirit is
preferable and manufac
tured spirit must be substi
tuted in the absence of the
other.

The Delta Upsilon skit
was very entertaining and
lacked only the final polish
that the two winners pos
sessed. Tnere were flashes of
brilliance throughout the
show although sometimes
the acts dragged a bit. A
bit of cutting within the
skits might have helped im
mensely. This was definite
ly a problem in the Theta
Xi skit. It was a good idea
but lacked continuity.
The Betas again came
through with a good per
formance but it would be
a great satisfaction if once
they would write their own
instead of leaving that bit
of work to a Beta chapter
on another campus.
The singing traveler's
acts were entertaining and
versatile. And there was
M i k e Barton. His style
echoes that of Hemingway,
Frost and Faulkner.
The Master of Cere
monies, Jerry DeFrance
picked up steam after the
intermission. He too came
through with some flashes
of brilliance but dragged in
places.
Overall, it was a good
show and one that was
much enjoyed by the audi
ence. Congratulations, Kos
mt Klub.

School spirit, after a 1 1,
hinges on the quality of the

the school, not just the ath

should, but that is another
story.
For today's purposes,
school spirit will come
when the teams primarily
the football team can pro
duce; when they can't it
must be manufactured.
To digress slightly, anoth

of spirit came on Nov. 21,
1963, two days before the
Oklahoma victory that sent
us to Miami.
Three thousand students
paraded down O Street de
manding victory. Certainly
not manufactured, but very
effective, and for those
worried about p.r. images,
no damage was done during
the gleeful outlet of emo
tions, except that I flunked
a chemistry test the next
day.
The only reasons that I
brought up last year's pa

news coverage, I would
like to ask those who or

of Thursday night.

"WEIL, HUBtRT, I GUESS WE BETTER GET MOVING-..':
Democratic
By Bob Cherny
I would like to take a
brief look at the Demo
cratic philosophy of govern
ment in this column. It is
perhaps best summed up in
the words of Thomas Jef
ferson, who stated, "The
care of human life and
happiness is the first and
only legitimate object of
good government."
To carry out this princi
ple, Democratic administra
tions have made the federal
government the instrument
of action, but only when
lower levels of government
have proven themselves in
capable of carrying it out.
In the words of the 1964
Democratic platform: "The
Democratic Party holds to
the belief that government
in the United States lo
cal, state and federal was
created in order to serve
the people. Each level of
government has appropri
ate powers and each has
specific responsibilities.
"We, the people, are the
government.
"The first responsibility
of government at every lev
el is to protect the basic
freedoms of the people.
"No government at a n y
level can properly complain
of violation of its power, if
it fails to meet its respon
sibilities. "The federal government
exists not to grow larger,
but to enlarge the indivi
dual potential and achieve
ment of the people.
"The federal government
exists not to subordinate the
states, but to support them.
"All of us are Americans.
All of us are free men. Ul
timately there can be no ef
fective restraint on the
powers of government at
any level save as Ameri
cans exercising their duties
as citiznes insist upon and
maintain free, democratic
processes of our constitu
tional system."
We live in a large and
complex society. We have
many problems which have
resulted from this large
ness and complexity.
The Democratic Party be
lieves that the best way to
tackle these problems is to
attempt to solve them, not
to ignore them in the hopes
CHRISTIANO'S
The Polsfkai
5rv mm
that they will disappear.
We do not have a para
noid fear of big gov
ernment, for the govern
ment is the creature of the
people, elected by them and
responsible to them.
In a society characterized
by bigness of geography,
of population, of business,
Bad Taste?
Dear Editor:
Yesterday I was confronted
with an article from the
November 9 issue of the
Daily Nebraskan by a non
Jewish friend of mine. He
was quite concerned about
the wording of a story and
wanted to know my opin
ion. He was also sure I
would be interested since
my son's name was men
tioned. After reading the article
and especially nothing the
phrase "the Jew behind the
throne," I was quite dis
pleased but did assure him
that although the story was
in poor taste, it was written
with the best intention.
Today I received more
calls concerning this arti
cle and it is surprising that
most of the inquiries were
from Gentile friends (you
wili be happy to know
that many adults read your
newspaper). They were all
concerned that the article
might have had anti-semitic
overtones. I again assured
them that I felt this was
not the case.
Repectfully yours,
Walter Weill
Mr. Weill:
Thank you so much for
your note. It is gratifying
to know that adults are
reading the Daily Nebras
kan. Concerning the Squee's
Squabbles column of Nov. 9
to which you referred, there
was no anti-semitism in
tended. The deletion of two
paragraphs that made this
point clear created this
feeling I agree. Also, t h e

Sperum
Republican
Bv George Duranske
At the outset of this arti
cle, it must be said that con
trol of the Republican party
must be returned to t h e
hands of the moderates. The
reasons for such a state
ment are obvious. First, in
order to guarantee that
1966 does not result in furth
er losses for the Republi
can Party. Second, to show
the American people that
the GOP recognizes that
American political thought
does not run toward the con
servative end of the politi
cal spectrum. And third, to
guarantee the preservation
of the two party system.
Senator Goldwater's can
didacy did a great deal to
show the Republican Party
what was impossible cri
teria for success at the polls.
The GOP must now, with
the knowledge gained from
1964, begin building toward
the future. This can be done
only through moderate lead
ership, which has proven its
vote-getting ability in the
past.
There is however one
huge problem in returning
the party to the hands of
the moderates and the mod
erates must be excep
tionally careful to avoid this
problem. The problem is
that the conservative ele
ment of the Republican Par
ty was forced to grab con
trol by literally sewing up
local delegates no matter
what popular opinion or pri
mary elections showed, as
in Nebraska. These people,
now in rather weak control
of the party, are reluctant
to give up control while
the moderates under n e w
inspiration, completely con
vinced that they have a
right to party leadership
are about to purge the par
ty, "dump Burch," and re
gain power.
The only thing these
people forget seems to be
that they will be creating a
group as dissatisfied with
the leadership of the Repub
lican Party as they were
when they were the out
group. The only difference
is that now the outgroup
will be considerable small
er according to the moder
ates attempting to justify
the impending turnover in
leadership.
The group about to be os
tracised, unfortunately, con
tains not only the hard core
conservative, but also the
moderate or perhaps even
the liberal republican (if
there is such a person) who
stayed with the party and
supported Goldwater and
his philosophy in order to
help preserve the two par
ty system. Therefore, a
warning: Republicans must
be careful not to swing the
pendulum completely to the
other end of the spectrum
or the GOP can't possibly
improve its vote-getting
strength.
The reason fear is ex
pressed of what may happen
is the rational recognition
of the fact that the next
election will be close if the
moderates are in control of
the party. So close that the
rejected conservatives and
moderates who stayed with
the party, if left without a
voice in party affairs may
be the deciding factor in the
election, especially if they
become the defecting Re
publicans, a third party, or

The appearance of the
Oklahoma State cowboy
running around the field
brought nostalgic memories
of a corncob man and, re
gretably, of Huskie the
Husker.
They used to play. Re
member? The two mascots
would chase each other
around the field, shooting
each other, clawing or
whatever the potentials of
the particular mascot.
It was unfortunate that,
when replacing the corncob
man, we came up with a
monster like Huskie, but it
would be nice in the future
to see some kind of mas
cot running around, adding
a little spirit to dull mo
ments. It seems John Lydick,
president of the Constutu
tional Convention, has set
the deadline for the comple
tion of the new constitution
for March. It seems that I
remember one time when
the final constitution was to
be placed on the December
ballot for approval.
Our parents have come,
and our parents have gone.
It was nice to have parents
day at least a eek and a
half before Thanksgiv
ing vacation this year. It is
traditionally the last home
game of the year. This
often sets the date on the
week end before Thanksgiv
ing vacation.
Needless to say, this is a
little ridiculous as well as
inconvenient for the par
ents. It is always good to
have the parents visit and
to get to see them for a
short glimpse at least
enough so we recognize
them the next time we go
home but it is even bet
ter when it comes at a time
when we won't get to see
them for a while. It rather
breaks up the time in be
tween. The Theta Sigma Phi's,
journalism honorary, are
selling the 1963-64 depth re
port. This report tells of the
many beauties in Nebraska
and is a very good report
of many of the advantages
of our state that are often
overlooked by the inhabi
tants. It looks like at last winter
is about to set in. No one
has enjoyed the beautiful
fall weather as much as I,
but now that coldness looks
like it may be here to stay,
the excitement of the first
snowfall prevails. The only
fear is that this first snow
fall will come about Nov.
