MMnfBnYOPNSBlS MONDAY, APRIL 17. I, PIONEER PARK . . . proves irrlsistible drawing card for students intent on impromptu grid games. Gorgeous weather over the week-end helped prevent students from catching up on studies long-neglected during the recent ASUN campaign. Spring's Occurrences Awaited Ivy Day, Graduation, Sun Bathing Spring . . . seniors begin the seven-week count down for "That Day" on June 3. Juniors line up for the Ivy Day race as sophomores and freshmen struggle with the mysteries of university registration. Pioneers Park becomes a weekend home away from home or, as one coed said, "that place where I go to pretend I'm studying." Sunning Starts Coeds claim sunning space on rooftops, sun decks and lawns as binoculars become a prime commodity for men. "Spring is the reason you study so hard at the first of the semester," one coed explained. "You know that when the weather turns warm you'll want to be outside instead of in the stacks studying." "It's easy to get carried away with this sun-tanning busi ness," a sun-burned junior man said. "I forgot that the sun could roast you so fast early in the spring." Sun Lamps Used Sun lamps provide a night-time sunning solution for students Nickname Is Business Aid, But Detriment In Politics . . . 'Terrible Terry' By Julie Morris Senior Staff Writer Someone dubbed him "Ter rible Terry," back in 1936 when he was running for the U.S. Senate against George Norris and somehow the name became a part of state Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scotts-bluff. UN Undersecretary, ... University Convocation Will Hear Dr. Bundle Undersecretary of the United Nations Dr. Ralph Bunche will speak Thursday Morning at an all-University convocation. The convocation, to be held at 10:30 a.m. in the NU Col iseum, is sponsored by the Faculty Convocations Com mittee. University classes will be dismissed for the convocation.

The senatqr's political lifa zation as under secretary for special political affairs. Bunche has been especially concerned with the problems of the Near East since h i s experience with the Palestine problem in 1947. During the Suez Crisis in 1956, he was asked to organ ize and supervise the United Nations EmerEeacv Fare a! 6,000 meh. Special Representative He was the special rep resentative of the Secretary General in the Congo, in 1960. In 1964 he was assigned a su pervisory role with regard to the United Nations operation in Cyprus involving 6,000 men and officers. Among his many honors and award, Bunche holds the 1950 Nobel Peace Prize. In addition to his work with the United Nations, Bunche has served on the faculty at Howard University, and held several positions in the U.S. State Department Including delegate to the Dumbarton Oaks Conference in 1944, and the First General Assembly of the United Nations. Bunche has publicly decried the criticism of the United States policy in Vietnam voiced by Dr. MarUa Luther King. 'V' with full schedules in the day, according to two coeds. "With a sun lamp you don't have to look like you spent the summer in Alaska or somewhere," a coed said. "Sun lamps are also great if you have a bikini suit and a trench coat figure," she confided. Changeable Weather Nebraska's changeable weather has confounded many stu dents. With the temperature plunging overnight, sprinkled with unexpected spring showers, Nebraska weather forces a strange conglomeration of day-to-day wearing apparal. "I left all my winter-type clothes at home over Easter va cation," one coed complained after last week's rain. "Sometimes I go to a morning lab with a raincoat and umbrella and come out three hours later to see everyone else in sandles and sunglasses," a Selleck man said. "The best thing about spring is serenades," a sorority mem ber explained. "Besides being a nice break from studying, going out on the serenade deck after hours makes me feel I'm putting something over on AWS, even though I'm not!" dates from a brief appoint ment to a government office in California years ago. Now a 14-year veteran of the Uni cameral, Carpenter says his career has been "consistent in being inconsistent." Joe Smith vs. Richard Nixon He joined the Democratic Party and went to the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat in 1933. In 1948 he switched to a Republican banner and made political his tory at the 1956 national Re publican convention by nomi nating the fictional ''Joe Smith" for a vice-presidential opponent to Richard Nixon. Last year Carpenter came back to the Democratic Party and his constitutents in West ern Nebraska, "republican limd," didn't seem to mind a bit. Champion Bill Introducer A newsman dubbed him the Legislature's "champion bill introducer" of this session. Carpenter has sponsored 100 bills since the session opened, nearly one-eighth of the total number introduced. Red Coat Means War One of the senator's pet bills this session, LB61 income tax proposal, brought to the floor of the legislature one of the Carpenter trademarks, a bright red sports coat that the lawmaker wears when he is ready for a fight. "Terrible Terry" said the coat tradition began when he ordered a red suit that turned out to be brighter than ex pected. . He finally wore the suit to a legislative session after his wife told him it would rot in the closet if he didn't wear it. Now he wears the coat once or twice during every University of Nebraska Evening Classes' Size Increases Evening class enrollments at the University of Nebras ka this semester total 2,942, up slightly compared to a year ago. Edor Ellingson, head of evening classes in the Ex tension Division, said that adult and campus students are enrolled in 101 classes. There are 1,765 adult en rollments and 1,177 student enrollments. ailllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllH I Nebraskan To Hold I Interviews For Staff I I Interviews for next year's Daily Nebraskan editor, 1 managing editor, news ed 1 itor, business manager and I sports editor will be held I April 28.

Preparations for this year's event began last November when the Engineering Execu tive Board selected Jim Chevalier from mechanical engineering and Larry Drbal from chemical engineering to serve as E-Week co-chairman. The E-Week Board, work ing with departmental co- Trish Sultzbaugh chairman, consists of 17 students and a faculty ad visor who supervises the op eration. E-Week History E-Week began in 1912 when a group of Electrical En gineers decided to celebrate their club's birthday on Feb. 15, 1894. They held a one night show displaying projects, which repeated annually until 1920 when the one-night event was expanded into a one week event consisting of lectures on Monday, a Tuesday field day, a Wednesday parade, a Thursday open house, a Fri day convocation and dance and a Saturday awards ban quet. In 1947, the event became a two day affair. The naming of Miss E-Week started in 1958. Petition Is Rejected By ASUN ASUN Electoral Commis sion has rejected a petition from two defeated SDS candi dates protesting the validity of the Senate elections last Wednesday, describing the statement as "vague" and "unspecific." Dr. Paul Byerly, ASUN ad visor, added if the students submitted another statement which contained "specifics," such as "names, numbers and places" the commission may investigate the matter. Checking Signatures The Electoral Commission is presently checking voters signatures, he said, to deter mine if there were instances ol double or triple voting. "The consensus of the com mission." he continued is to prosecute the persons, who violated the voting regula tions, in the Student Court. Byerly said assessing " fine of $50 would not be un reasonable," and would serve as an example of the serious ness of the case. The Electoral Commission will meet Monday. Protest Statement The statement protesting the election waB submitted by George Olivarri, a first vice-presidential candidate and Linda Marcello, a sena torial candidate. The students maintained there were various irregu larities during the election in cluding people voting twice ani people using more than one identification card to vote.
