The announcement that the Homecoming display award
will no longer be sponsored by the Innocents Society was
a surprise to no one.
The official word came in a statement issued to the
Daily Nebraskan Wednesday afternoon.
Rumors had been circulating since last year's bout
with crepe paper, and chicken wire.
Homecoming display protestors made the same gener
al plea that too many hours were spent on the displays.
Study time lost resulted in lower grades especially for the
display plebeians, the sorority and fraternity pledges.
Vast amounts of money were also spent on the dis-
E lays on the moving parts and sound effects that had
ecome a part of the one-night-stand masterpieces.
So, now, the award is withdrawn. It is doubtful that
any display will appear this year, because participation
by a majority of the living units was to gain the biggest
honor bestowed by the Innocents.
There was another reason for participation. The pre
velant thought on Greek Street has been: everyone else
is building a display and what would the new pledge class
think were they not have a part in the fun.
Other organizations are now promoting school spirit
and enthusiasm which was once the purpose of promoting
the Homecoming displays, according to the Innocent's
statement.
Now that group can get back to their "traditional" em
phasis upon scholarship.
All that remains is the deluge of words by the Univer
sity tradition keepers, saying yet another of the Univer
sity's old customs has been discontinued.
We're waiting.
Supreme Body
The Associated Students of the University of Nebras
ka intends to be the supreme governing body at the Uni
versity. Kent Neumeister, ASUN president, made this point
clear at the new government's first meeting Wednesday,
Some of the campaign promises made by the Neu-meister-Frolik
team last spring are a part of their pro
gram this year. Will they reach their goals?
The semester lies ahead.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Films to
be presented this year by
the Nebraska Union Film So
ciety have been rated out
standing. Philip Chamber
'lain, editor of the Film So
ciety magazine, made the fol
lowing comments about the
fifteen film series to be pre
sented on Wednesday eve
'nings throughout the year at
'the Nebraska Theatre, at 7
'and 9 p.m. The first film will
i 'be shown Sept. 29. Tickets are
! 'on sale In the Nebraska Union
Program Office, room 136, for
.Sfi for the Ilniversltv com
munity and $8 for Lincoln
residents.
"BLACK ORPHEUS is an
impressive opener and usual
ly everyone's favorite be
cause of its unusual blend of
myth, melodrama and spec
tacle. Will Cause Discussion
"ONE POTATO, TWO
POTATO is sure to cause a
good deal of discussion on
your campus. . . no movie
about mixed marriages has
come anywhere near having
the relevance which this inde
pendent production shows to
contemporary American so
ciety. "AREN'T WE WONDER
FUL? is, without doubt, the
finest German comedy since
the war, and probably the
best ever. Besides being fun
ny, it's loaded with good com
ment on post-war German
croserity, and opportunism.
"WOMAN IN THE DUNES
has won quite a few festival
prizes and has smashed box
office records in many art
theatres since it was released
last winter. It was the out
standing film of the New
York Festival last September.
Trilogy By Frenchman
"LOLA is the first of three
marvellous movies made by
Demy, who is the greatest
French sensation since Truff
aut. It's a kind of fairy tale
for adults with back-lit photo
graphy and plot elements
moving like a Bach fugue.
"BAY OF THE ANGELS,
the second film in this trilogy,
has elegant use of whites
right down to Jeanne Moreau
in a blond wig! In many ways,
it's her best performance and
certainly the best film on
gambling yet made.
I'THE UMBRELLAS OF
CHERBOURG is the end or
this trilogy, with Michel Le
Grand's score sung by the per
formers rather than spoken
dialogue. The color in the film
is nothing short of sensation-
yet the real merit lies in
the somewhat old-fashioned
Back to class?
Go with class!
GO HONDA!
Just the ticket for campus traffic, crowded
parking lots or just plain fun. And, instead of
walking her to class, you can ride her to class!
Hondas are more fun than a barrel of coeds.

emotional appeal, a bitter
sweet flavor that keeps the
film in the back of your mind
long after you've seen it.
"THE ' PASSENGER is a
coup since the distributor
hasn't planned general release
until late next year. The ex
traordinary film focuses on
the relationshiD of two people,
a supervisor and one of t h e
prisoners in a Polish concen
tration camp. In the back
ground, almost ignored y e t
devilishly effective, one can
see all manner of horrible
signs that remind the audience
of the locale: a Nazi death
carrm. The fact that the film
maker was killed before com
pleting his work, leaves a fas
cinating nuzzle because we
aren't sure just what he was
trying to show at the end
of the film.
No Punches Pulled
"THE COOL WORLD is ex
tremely timely . . . many
will find in it the confirma
tion of their prejudices. It is
set in Harlem and shows the
world of the New York Negro
with no punches pulled . . .
it has to be seen. It's an al
together uncompromising
film.
"THE ORGANIZER is the
finest role Marcello Mastroi
anni has yet had. The era is!
re-created with a great feel-j
ing for authenticity and o n e j
really gets an impression of J
what an early labor uiiioni
organizer must have been up
against. j
"MACRIO isn't my favorite
film, but it has been extreme
ly popular and is highly re
garded by many reputable
film critics. It's a slick piece
of film making. . . the b e s t
Mexican film in the past dec
ade, if one discounts Bunuel.
"THE FIANCES is my
nomination for the finest
work yet done on the modern
industrial worker. But the
story is about two people who
have very little to say to one
another until they are sepa
rated . . . It's a sensitive,
beautiful film.
Best Bergman Film
"THE SILENCE is probab
ly the best Bergman film
since he abandoned his old
theatrical approach in favor
of an austere, documentary
like approach in 1961. It has
punch and will give everyone
who sees it something lo
think about.
"THAT MAN FROM RIO is
a wild, wild comedy-thriller
that has racked up box office
records in a number of places,
a favorite comedy of the last
year.
PARTICIPATE IN CIVIL RIGHTS MOVE
MENTS! INCREASE STUDENT VOICE
IN CAMPUS AFFAIRS! ORGANIZE STU
DENT POLITICAL PARTIES! END THE
WAR IN VIET NAM!
These and many other goals have
been set by the Students for a Demo
cratic Society, a new student awareness
group being organized on our campus.
SDS seems to have made a timely arriv
al on our campus, and will attempt to
fill the void left by the death of the GAD
FLY and the loss of executive leadership
of SNCC.
According to one of the organizers of
the group, the SDS stands to the left in
the political spectrum, but accepts ideas
and goals of all democratic groups striv
ing to build a greater American society.
From this base they hope to reach out to
build a world system of social-democracy.
SDS claims to have chapters on sev
enty American college campuses, with a
due-paying membership of 2,500 persons.
The spokesman for this infant group
claimed that the SDS has been intrumen
tal in organizing rent strikes in some East
ern cities, teach-in opposing the war in
Vietnam, and student free speech dem
onstrations. When questioned about the SDS's po
sition on civil rights and the possibility of
a campaign to integrate the Greek sys
tem, they stated that this was a dead
issue as was the Greek system.
The universities of America have long
been the spawning grounds for the odd,
offbeat, and unusual, but not riots, sit
ins and other civil disobedience.' Only in
the last five years have these become
accepted student activities.
Often these demonstrations are led by
the intellectual leaders of our universities,
with a legitimate grievance, but when
peaceful protests become destructive riots
then the responsible student leaders must
have failed in their obligation to the stu
dents that elected them. Student councils
and student senates have become status
act to maintain control.
Too often the elected student leaders
have failed in their obligation to the stu
dents that elected them. Student councils
and student senates have become status
symbols or merely stepping stones to cam
pus honorary societies. Elected majority
groups forget the minority grous on cam
pus. Too often the elected leaders have no
power, no control and act as puppets for
the Administration.
The SDS has made its debut on the
Nebraska Campus and has stated its ob
jectives, some worthy, some with little '
merit other than to cause a campus dis
turbance. They have declared themselves
to be a radical leftist movement, but have
strongly rejected the W. E. DuBois Club
and the American Communist Party.
They plan to apply for recognition as an
approved organization by the Deari of Stu
dent Affairs, and publish a weekly or bi
weekly organ.
As old organizations die, new organi
zations appear ... we wait expectantly.
