Qualify Sellout Crowds To Union The first five weekend films of the Nebraska Union Film Society have been sell outs so far this year, accord ing to Larry Johnson, chair man. Johnson explained that the films, which are shown Sat urdays at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and Sundays at 7:30 p.m. in the Union auditorium, have been the most successful ever "Probably the biggest rea son for the increased inter est in the films this year," he said, "is the top quality and newness of the films." Films already shown in clude "Move Over Darling," "Bye Bye Birdie," "Seven Days in May" and "Bridge On the River Kwai." Johnson said that even bet ter films such as "T h e Unruly Students Cheer Abel Trash-Chute Blaze Four Lincoln fire trucks were summoned to Abel Hall Tuesday night to investigate a trash-chute blaze in t h e basement. The fire, probably caused by a match or lighted cigar ette thrown down the chute, drove residents outside and spread smoke as high as the twelfth floor. The fire set off the automat ic sprinklers in the basement and tripped an alarm. The call to the fire department was not made until the source of the alarm was investigated by dormitory officials. "There seems to be a gen eral attitude among the resi dents that is not as serious as it should be in a case like this," said Richard Scott, as sistant to the dean of Student Affairs. "They cheered as the fire trucks pulled up, and there were shouts of 'on to Pound from some," Abel North Resi oviqs Prize," "To Kill A Mocking bird," "Hud," "Becket" and "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" will be shown every weekend until the middle of May. "We picked the films ear ly last spring and got our or ders in soon enough with at least seven different distribu tors to get the best films," he explained. Average attendance at the films each week has been more than 500 persons, he noted. Most films cost 25c with an ID card, but some special films such as "Beck et" will cost 50c. Johnson said that they will have to charge more for some films because of increased distri butor cost. Tentative plans also include dent Director Richard Fow ler, said. "The whole attitude was ri diculous," said Richard Arndt, Abel South director. "The firemen are risking their lives, and are not receiving cooperation from those they are trying to protect." The evacuated residents blocked the entrances to the building and had to be moved across 17th Street before fire men could enter the building. "The attitude of the boys was very bad," said one stu dent assistant. "When they were told to come back into the building, it was as if someone had fired the start ing gun for a track event." Preparations which may be made for future alarms in clude a revision of the plan to move residents northward to clear the entrances for fire men, portable megaphones available to officials to com municate effectively with the evacuated men and longer alarm periods. Pomm' IPoinni Sales SigmisD Victories Sports editors, columnists and fans all use a number of methods in trying to predict the outcome of a football game but few ever think of counting flowers. One unusual way of pre dicting the outcome or at least the amount of spirit be hind a game is to notice the number of spirit symbols such as balloons, suckers, car nations and pom poms bought by the fans the morning be fore the game. Proof of this irrational but intuitive theory is the fact that Corn Cobs and Tassels' records show that in the last few years their sales of Uni versity spirit symbols have increased steadily. And, Ne braska's football team has climbed in national polls. Saturday's game might be Attract some special event type films on weekend afternoons "when nothing else is happening on campus." Johnson said that these special events would in clude two Humphrey Bogart or two war pictures. "Old Humphrey Bogart films," he noted, "are the big thing on the East Coast."

Pep Rally To Feature Husker Sunshine Girl The Homecoming rally will be held on the east steps of Memorial Stadium at 6:30 p.m. Friday. The parade will start from the south side of the Nebraska Union. Queen Candy May and her attendants will reign over the festivities which will include presentation of the football team and a baton routine by Susie Kunc, Cornhusker Sun shine Girl. Interview Correction Interviews for Prince Kos met and Nebraska Sweet heart candidates will be held Thursday, Oct. 28, at the same times which appeared in Wednesday's Daily Nebraskan. the final proof of this symbol-selling-success theory. Corn Cobs and Tassels are sponsor ing an all-out drive for Ne braska's Homecoming game with what they expect to be the fans greatest showing of spirit. 'Balloon Day' Marilyn Hughes, Tassels vice president, said that Sat urday has been proclaimed balloon day and that they hope every person will have at least one balloon. "Maybe we can show' t h e alumni that even though we don't have Homecoming dis plays anymore, we still do have spirit if thousands of balloons are released on our first touchdown," she said. If sales do go as the spirit organizations expect this weekend and if this symbol selling theory is correct Ne braska will win by many touchdowns. Bob Milligan, chairman of the Corn Cobs flower sales, said that Corn Cobs have been selling nearly 2,000 flowers per game this year which is approximately 300 more per game than last year and 800 more than several years ago. He explained that the 21 Corn Cob workers sell the carnations . every Saturday morning before home football games for 50c a piece. Tassel's main spirit sym bols are not carnations, b u I the balloons, suckers and pom poms. The red '"N" suckers are sold for 10c, the balloons for 15c and the pom poms for 35c. "Sales do depend on the game," Miss Hughes said. She pointed out that Tassels sold over 1.000 balloons during Band Day and that Tassels has already had to order more balloons. Innocents To Risk Rematch The "never-say-die" Inno cents Society has challenged the Mortar Boards to another Quiz Bowl match, after losing to them 95 to 90 in the first match of the season. In a letter to the Mortar Boards, the Innocents said, "In view of the rather shock ing series of events of last Thursday night, which culmi nated in the rather unconvinc ing defeat of the Innocents . . . (we) fling upon the ground the gauntlet of chal lenge in your most honorable direction. "In all deference to your most worthy order, however, we fell that you must now be called upon to defend that honor which fate has so shak ily bestowed upon you be cause, to retire with . the championship at a time when your hold upon it be so weak would be an abomination, an outrage which would cause the ravens and ravings of the black pit of dishonor to fire anew with the devilish screams of a deprived cul ture." Mortar Boards decided to accept the challenge in their meeting last night. "As Mor tar Boards, are 'Busily up lifting humanity,' all that we can muster is a curt OKAY ! " stated Barb Beckman, Mor tar Board. Mortar Boards Move Mum Sales To Union Tonight is the last night Homecoming mums may be ordered from individual Mor tar Boards, according to Cuz Guenzel, Homecoming mums chairman. After tonight, Miss Guenzel explained, mums may be or dered at the booth in the Ne braska Union until 5:30 p.m. on Friday. The mums will be delivered to the living units Saturday morning before the game. Ad ditional mums will be sold Saturday morning in down town hotels and clubs and in front of the stadium. Both Miss Hughes and milligan stressed that the money from the spirit symbol sales are used for student activities such as Homecom ing and rallies. "Every cent we get t r o m selling carnations Is used to support more spirit on t h e campus," Milligan said. He noted that Tassels and Corn Cobs finance and organize all the University rallies and other spirit programs. Milligan said that Corn Cobs had just purchased a three-foot cannon which is mounted on a platform and will be used soon during foot ball games to celebrate touchdowns.

The resolution followed a student poll report which showed that University stu dents were in favor of t h e IFC Considers Grade Change For Initiation ; Interfraternity Council pro posed two amendments deal ing with the grading require ments for initiation : one spec ifying a 2.1 average and the other a 2.0. The report from the scholarship committee at the IFC meeting last night rec ommended the 2.1 average, while discussion brought out the 2.0 amendment. Both proposals were post poned for voting next week, allowing the one-week consid eration period set down in IFC by-laws. A study of eight other mid west universities by the com mittee showed that all except Missouri University have a 2.0 initiation average require ment. Some members felt that consideration should be given to the "60tf clause." proposed under the recently adopted 2.3 grade require ment to insure that the usual percentage of pledges would be initiated. Another amendment that concerns drinking was pro posed and will be voted on next week. The following statement to the IFC from the Council Ex ecutive Committee, as pre sented: "Responsible f r a t e r n i -ty leaders find little difficulty in accepting the reasonable ness of the University's con cern, yet they are hampered as elected officers by the at titude of their members stem I hi fh fis :- - jjssaKSStW Ox u 'f: Tri-Delts Unveil Homecoming Thanksgiving vacation change three to one. Sen. Leon Orendcr, who in troduced the motion, said that the resolution showed students are concerned with the University's calendar and that they want to be consulted before these decisions are made. Orender said that the Facul ty Senate realized after changing the vacation dates ming from illegal and irre sponsible high school drunk ing, alumni indifference and example, and the traditional attitude that no adult social function can be satisfying without alcoholic beverages." The letter said that the Uni. versity should expect frater nity leaders to set proper ex amples by "not drinking il legally and if they drink le gally, to do so with discre tion." Fraternity leaders should inform their members of the laws and physical and psycho logical effects of alcoholic beverages and should "en courage imaginative and cre ative social functions that are no' alcohol centered." said the statement. The amendment would oro vide that no alcoholic bev erage be present in chapter houses, that no funds con trolled by the chapter would be used for the purchase of any alcoholic beverage and that "fraternity organizations shall not be used in anv man ner for the formation of house functions involving alcoholic beverages." It was also announced that a field representative from Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity would be on the campus next week, and will speak at the IFC meeting. The chapter will request colonization permis sion from the Council and be gin to colonize Thursday morning if permission is granted. Gives Approval displav (top), which depicts a .nQnges that there had been no stu dent consultation. He said that the Faculty Senate asked the Student Senate to poll the students to find out their opinions on the change. Roger Doerr, director of records for the Senate and chairman of the student opinion committee, said that 420 University students were polled. He said that 74.4 per cent of the students were in favor of the change, 24.6 per cent were against it and one per cent had no opinion. Orender explained that If a poll would have shown that the students were against the change, Faculty Senate had said it would be willing to re verse its decision. Faculty Senate originally changed the Thanksgiving va cation dates because of t h e football game on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. Dr. Henry Holtzclaw, secretary of t h e Faculty Senate, said that be cause many students would be staying for the Thanksgiving game anyway, the Faculty Senate decided that there might as well be school on Wednesday and vacation the next Monday. Sen. Andy Taube, who was investigating the possibility of having living unit functions Thursday night after the Thanksgiving game, said that so far the response from ad ministration had been "sort of negative." He said that Edward Bryan, director of housing, had said leaving the dorms open Thurs day night and Friday morning would extend the dorm con tracts too much. Taube ex plained that Bryan said the dorm employees would have to stay the extra day and that this would create many problems. Whether or not sorority houses will be left open the night after the game, Taube Said it would depend on a poll of the housemothers and the houses themselves. Sen. Kathy Weber pointed out that AWS has extended Wednesday hours before the Thanksgiving game until 1 a.m. so that parties could be held then.
