Enthusiastic Turnout
Tonight all presidential and vice presidential candi
dates will appear at a forum at 7:30 in the Pan-American
Room of the Student Union.
Tonight all interested students should also appear at
the same time and the same place to hear about the
men who will be leading student government next year.
We can read, and we can look at posttrs, and we can
listen to the innumerable little workers running around
slinging slangy slogans, but the best way to make an
intelligent decision is to meet and hear the candidates in
person.
We ;:.-.pe for an enthusiastic turnout tonight.
Two Of A Kind
In writing in support of Bill Poppert for the presidency
of the Associated Students of the University of Nebraska
(ASUN), we must first take into consideration the fact
that many top sources consider his qualifications nearly
equal with those of his opponent, Kent Neumeister. Many
others have expressed disappointment in both candidates
and wished that someone of more stature, like J o h a
Luckasen or Skip Soiref, had decided to follow the su
purb administration of John Lydick.
This latter disappointment is completely beside the
point, and has been since the filing date expired. We have
the choice of these two, and we must make the best of it
in the absence of any better men.
As we have said before, we consider the prime issue
in this campaign the relative personalities of the two can
didates. We support Poppert because we think his manner
of working with and against his contemporaries is vastly
superior, more realistic and more mature that that of his
opponent.
Neumeister has the program; he has chosen the ac
cepted means of campaigning in a unique year: perhaps
he is a year too early, both in terms of experience and
in terms of ideas.
Poppert's campaign ideas are vague. He speaks of or
ganizing something which no one has seen, and he does
not promise to continue as a service organization, a pub
lic relations media for the peace Corps or a rubber
stamp for anyone who wants rubber stamping. Neumeis
ter's ideas if they are to be carried out will require a
strong organization to move along with.
But we do not attack Neumeister' s platform. For the
most part, we agree with it in theory. We do not even
attack Neumeister.
We support Poppert for the presidency, and urge all
students interested in electing the better candidate to vote
for him Wednesday.

Three Of A Kind
In writing in support of Husky the Herf for mascot of
the students, we must take into account the past suc
cesses and failures of campus spirit symbols and mascots.
We must evaluate the reasons for these successes and
failures, and we must be able to integrate these reasons
into the personal characteristics of each of the candidates.
And we must remember that Husky was only one of
three spirit symbol ideas presented at yesterday's Stu
dent Council meeting. We must realize the importance of
any final decision on this matter and we must be ready
to give our wholehearted support to the winner.
First let us discuss Husky's competitors. We have
Larry, an appropnately-named muscleman of the Mr.
Clean and Giant-In-Your-Washer variety, and we have a
slope-shouldered Corncob of the slope-shouldered Corncob
variety which attracted so much invective during its trial
and execution several years ago. Larry is bull-headed.
Corncob is naive, and we thereby feel that Herf is the
candidate that knows when to be firm, when to compromise.
First, we do not believe that Corncob has a good
enough grasp of the real issues of the coming campaign.
We feel that his naivete, his lack of tact and his simple
answers to difficult problems make him a very unquali
fied candidate for this honor. He has m long history of
antagonizing the student body with his watered-down ver
sions of his duties.
Husky the Herf is not naive; but he is obscure. He is
definitely not milk-toast, but he is relatively unknown to
this campus.
Second, let us take the muscleman, Larry. Bearing a
strong resemblance to a Urge, repulsive boor which in
habited our plains two years ago and likewise attracted a
great amount of invective for his bad manners. Larry (so
named "by his pseudo sponsor, Mike Barton) is a giant
among men, but he, again is brash and bull-headed, and
we think the potential strength of his administration would
be off-set by this unfortunate stereotype.
Husky the Herf is bull headed, too, but he has a rea
son. And he, again, knows when to be firm, when to
compromise. Husky is the kind of masculine POSITIVE
symbol we need. He wants to lead the team to victory,
but FIRST he wants to improve the image of the campus
spirit symbol. He realizes that, unless he knows his Job,
he will be able to play only a passive part in victory.
With the new Constitution of Bob Devaney's football
team, the job of a spirit symbol will be a great one, in
deed. We think Corncob is too naive to realize this, that
Larry is too forceful and too stereotyped to be able to
work with his compatriots. (Anyway, rumor has It that
Larry has a academic problem and will throw his sup
port to our man Husky.)
One Of A Kind
That boils the campaign down to two. Corncob wants
to be the New master, but the Daily Nebraskan firmly
supports Husky the Herf, whom we feel can fill the Biil
and keep the corncob Popping .
We consider the prime issue of this campaign to be
the relative personalities of the two candidates. We sup
port Husky the Herf because we think that his manner
of working with and against his contemporaries is vastly
superior, more realistic and more mature than that of his
opponent.
We will do all in our power to elect Husky the Herf
to the spirit symbolship of the ASUN and urge all Inter
ested and informed students to do the same.

Mothballs Big In Spring fashions
The "coming forth" of
warm weather has
prompted a "coming forth"
from Magees, etc. of the
new spring fashions and
from mothballs of the old
spring styles.
The emphasis which
American education has
placed on science and tech
nology over the past decade
had allowed the mothball
industry to again emerge
triumphant over Kuppen
heimer, MacGregor and
Dan Rivers.
Here are a few of the
repeats:
The campus cordon of
ex-Phi Psi jocks are still
clinging to their all-season
letter jackets lest WE for
get and THEY sink into
oblivion.
The Sig Eps are still
in . . . madras. This fad

this style to change in late
spring. Wrecked putt-putts

are going strong. These
have two purposes: to point
out Kappa Sigs to other stu
dents, and to point out Kap

We must remember that
tradition will end the first
time that one of them for

after dark, and the Gamma

one of their trees.

one can really replace mother
of course because being the
"lady of the house" is a full

Have you ever thought about
what it would cost to hire others
to even imitate her vital ser

Really Original
Dear editor.
In yesterday's Daily Ne
braskan, W. B. referred to
the nebish posters on cam
pus as "inane" and "trite."
I imagine that he was
speaking of Kelley Baker
and Gary Larsen, but his
descriptions c o u 1 d n ' t be
further from the truth!
The nebish posters are the
only original ads among a
myriad of black and white
picture posters. These
nebishes. rather than being
inane, demonstrate ingenu
ity and creativity on the
pari of their makers and
I applaud Baker and Larsen
for being so original.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL
As everyone knows, thirteen-twelfthe of the earth's surface la
water. Thus we can see how important it is to know and under
stand our oceans. Toward this end American collepes la.-t year
embarked on a profrjam to increase enrollment in oceanography.
I am pleased to report that results were nothing short of spectac
ular: In one single semester the number of students majoring in
oceanography rose by 100 from one student to tva!
But more oceanographers are still needed, and so today this
column, normally a vehicle for slapdash jocularity, will instead
devote itself to a brief course in oceanography. In view of tha
solemnity of the subject matter, my sponsors, the Personna
Stainless Steel Razor Blade Co., makers of Personna Stainless
Steel Razor Blades which give you more luxury shaves than
Beep-Beep or any other brand you can name if, by chance, you
don't agree, the makers of Personna Stainless Steel Razor Blades
will buy you a pack of whatever brand you lliink is better my
sponsors, I say, the Personna Stainless Steel Razor Blade Co.
will today, because of the solemnity of this column, forego their
usual commercial message.
We begin our study of oceans wilh that ever-popular favorite,
the Pacific. Largest of all oceans, the Pacific wan discovered by
Balboa, a Spanish explorer of great vision. To give you an idea of
Balboa's vision, he first saw the Pacific while (standing on a pi ak
in Daricn, which is in Connecticut.
The Pacific is not only the largest ocean, but the deepest. Thf
thi' Pnriftr vwn diiwrrrtd

Mindanao Trench, oil the Philippine Mumis, measures mort
than 5,(HK) fathoms in depth, fit should be pointed out here that
ocean depths are measured in fnlimms lengths of six feet
after Sir Walter Fathom, a British nobleman of Elizabethan
times who, upon his eighteenth birthday, was given a string six
feet long. Many young men would have sunk in a funk If all they
got for their birthday was a siring six feet long, but not Sir
Walter! String in hand, he scampered around the entire coat of
England measuring sea water until he was arrested for loitering.
Incidentally, a passion for measuring seems to have run in the
family: Fathom's grandnephew, Sir John Furlong, spent all his
waking hours measuring racetrack until Charles JI had him be
headed in honor of the opening of the Ixndon School of Econom
ics.) But I digress. Ixst us, as the poet Masefield says, go down to
the sea ngain. (The sea, incidentally, has ever been a favorite
subject for poets and composers. Who does not know and lov
the many robust sea chanties that have enriched our folk musio
songs like "Sailing Through Kansas" and "I'll Swub Your
Deck If You'll Swab Mine" and "The Artificial Respiration
Polka.") 1
My own favorite sea chanty goes like this: (I'm uure you all
know it. Why don't you sing along as you read?)
O, carrn me U the, drop lthie. nm,
