Junior Staff Writer
Skits ranging from the tra
ditional lampooning of cam
pus events to pseudo-historical
events will depict this
year's Kosmet Klub Fall Re
vue theme, "Katastrophic
Krusades."
The show begins at 8:00
p.m. Saturday, Nov. 4, at Lin
coln's Pershing Auditorium.
In addition to the seven
skits, five traveler acts will
serve as transitions. The
show concludes with the
crowning of t h e Nebraska
Sweetheart and Prince Kos
met. Living units to present skits
include: Beta Sigma Psi, "A
Funny Thing Happened on
the Way to the Promised
Land"; Beta Theta Pi "Clyde
Turns the Tide"; Cather Hall,
'AMS' or "Only Your Hair
dresser Knows for Sure."
Phi Delta Theta, "The
Quest for the Golden Chest"
or "The Nebraska Navy or
Bust;" Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
"Kuster's Kickoff;" Sigma
Chi, "College Man" and Sig
ma Nu, "Hey, That Ain't
Bad."
HEY, MO!
The Beta Sigma Psi skit is
a parody on the story of
Moses, according to skitmas
ter, Mike Nelson. The skit is
based on a son's telling his
father the story of Moses, and
making some errors in his
story.
Portions of Moses' crusade
deal with the burning bush,
Moses' staff, the plagues, and
the parting of the Red Sea.
The Beta Theta Pi skit fea
tures Groucho Worthington,
uncontested mayor for 18
years. In the next election,
the townspeople nominate
Clyde, a fire horse, who wins
by one vote. A recount, how
ever, reveals the election ends
in a tie. The election com
missioner must rule who shall
bold the office. Dave Buntain
Chopin-Man, Music
Presehted By Raief f
Frederick Chopin, the man
and the composer, was
brought to life Thursday af
ternoon by Josef Raieff, con
cert pianist.
Raieff appeared in the Ne
braska Union Ballroom as a
special guest of the U n i o n
Talks and Topics committee.
He spoke on the life of Cho
pin and presented several of
Chopin's selections. Accord
ing to Raieff, Chopin was one
of the three most influential
men of his century.
Exploring 20th century mu
sic, Raieff spoke of the emo
tional element in music and
noted that of all the arts, mu
sic remains the most ellus
ive. Chopin's music does not pin
the listener down, Rsieff said.
He is left to his own prson
al mood and it is this inter
pretation that is important.
Raieff said each new gen
eration should rediscover Cho
pin and the beauty expressed
in his work.
Raieff was bora in Russia
,
and Bob Thacker are skit
masters. A satire of a future Univer
sity is the subject of the Ca
ther skit. Most of the college
men have been drafted, leav
ing more women than men at
the University. The Board of
Regents is composed entirely
of women and the men now
have hours. Skitmaster John
Fryar said the skit ends with
all the students crusading for
the repeal of men's hours.
GOLDEN CHEST
Sixty of the world's most no
torious pirates try to save the
declining image of piracy in
the Phi Delta Theta skit. Skit
master Bill Strateman said
the pirates conduct a quest for
the golden chest to boost their
prestige.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon's
"Kuster's Kickoff" slates the
Indians against Kuster's ca
valry in a football game fea
turing Kuster and Sitting Bull.
"The skit is based on a tele
vision program and a Bill
Cosby record," said Fred
Starrett, skitmaster.
In Sigma Chi's "College
Man" a group of hippies at
tempts to convert some col
lege boys into hippies. John
Thomas, skitmaster, said the
skit uses original music and
words.
The Sigma Nu skit features
Eloise Mess and her Un
Hoochables in the setting of a
speak-easy, an illegal drink
ing place in the days of pro
hibition. Skitmaster is Paul
Surface.
There will be five travelers
acts in addition to the skits.
These include performances
by the Barry Hansen Trio,
the Three Day Ryders, and

AWS Revamps
Constitution
By ANDY CORRIGAN
Junior Staff Writer
The AWS executive and
legislative branches were
completely revamped Thurs
day in a joint committee
meeting of the AWS Consti
tutional Legislative and Ex
ecutives Committees.
The new structure, which
will be presented to the Con

implementation in the new
constitution, will be com

a Programs Area Commit
tee. The Congress will have
full legislative powers and
will be composed of fifty
delegates. Each sorority
will have one representative
and for every two floors of
each dorm there will be one
representative.
"The Congress has the
basic structure of the House
of Representatives but it
now has much more power.
In changeing the name of
the body we hoped to abol
ish the current image of the
House." said Nancy Coufal,
convention chairman.
Miss Coufal also said that
the committees felt that Uni
versity women wanted the
legislative functions to be
carried out by their repre
sentatives and that this was
one of the basic reasons for
making the change.
The Cabinet will serve as
a coordinating body within
the AWS structure besides
being the liaison between the
organization and administra
tion. The members of the Cabi
net will include the presi
dent, judicial vice-president,
programs vice president,
secretary, treasurer, five
members to be chosen in an
all-university election, and
five carry-overs from the
preceding year's congress.
The Judicial Committee
will be headed by the judi
cial vice-president and will
be composed of eight women
selected in an all-university
election.
The eight justices will be
dispersed between the eight
AWS courts. They will also
form the Court of Appeals.
The programs vice-president
will head the Programs
Committee. The committee
will include all the appointed
s u b-committee chairmen.
Chairmen will be appointed
fcr AWS activities such as
Manus, Pam Wood, Nancy
Coufal and Jeanne Fox.
Prince Kosmet finalists are,
Ben Gregory, Bob Peterson,
Joel Swanson, Adrian Fiala,
Sid Logemann, Bob Bartee,
Lanny Icenogle, Phil Bowen,
Bob Schmucker and Marv
Mueller.
Hours have been extended
to 2:00 a.m. for Nov. 4. Tic

Klub workers or $1.75 at the
door.
Coed Follies and Focus on
Coeds.
Besides the programs area
the committee will also be
in charge of the Freshman
Workers Program.
The Judicial committee
also met today. The subject
under discussion was the
composition of the . eight
AWS courts which have been
proposed.
The six dorm courts will
consist of seven justices
elected from the dorm and
an AWS Court of Appeals
justice. A chairman will be
selected . from the seven
members from the dorm.
The Panhellenic Court
will also be composed of
seven justices and one AWS
justice. Each sorority will
nominate one girl to run for
the position. Each voter will
cast a ballot for four candi
dates. Out of the top ten
girls the top seven will be
the permanent justices and
the remaining three will be
substitutes.
The East Campus Court
justices will be divided be
tween Burr, Fedde, and
Love halls. Barr will be ai
loted three judges and Fedde
and Love will each have
two. An AWS justice will
also serve on this court.

mendations are subject to

tion's approval before they
will be presented to Univer
sity women for approval.

Republicans can capture
the votes of a public "unhap
py and distrusting of Lyndon
Johnson", a national Party
official told the University's
Young Republicans Thurs
day. By returning to the "mid
dle of the road" and by mini
mizing internal dissent, the
Republicans can put their
presidential candidate in of
fice in 1968, according to Don
Ross, Nebraska's delegate to
the Republican National
Committee.
Ross, a former mayor of
Lexington, Neb., is one of
four vice-chairman of the Re
publican National Committee
and is directing tickets to the
1968 National Convention at
Miami Beach next summer.
Now living in Omaha, he
also is a member of the Re
publican Coordinating Com
mittee, comprised of "diver
gent elements of the party."
Discussing the convention,
candidates for the 1968 presi
dential nomination and inter
nal problems of the Party,
the Nebraskan told the group
of about 100 students the
GOP must "make sure we do
not make the same mistake
as in 1964."
Conservatives with a "mil
itant attitude" refusing to
make concessions and liber
als who refused to support
the right-wing factions made
the '64 national delegates
"come away from the con
vention confused," Ross said.
He blamed this internal
competition for the landslide
against the Republicans when
Johnson was swept into office
by the greatest vote against
the Republicans in recent
history.
"The Republicans needed a
new image," he said, "nei
ther right-wing nor liberal
left, but back.to the middle of
the road."
Midwestern Republi
cans took the initiative in giv
ing the GOP this image, he
said.
"For the first time in many
years, the midwest took the
lead in deciding Republican
future," he said. They se
cured enough support to re-,
place Dean Burch, a Barry
Goldwater - picked National
Chairman, with Ray Bliss, a
"party man."
"We took off the stigma of
the right-wing," he said, "but
we kept the party out of the
hands of those who would
take it the other way."
Ross pointed to improved
GOP success in the 1966 Con
gressional elections as sup
port of the action.

"And now we hope the re
surgence will continue in
1968," he added.
To pull the divergent ele
ments of the party that is,
the Republican governors, the
past presidential candidates
and the party workers to
gether. Bliss initiated the Co
ordinating Committee, Ross
said.
Including leaders from all
these elements, the Coordinat
ing Committee has adopted a
series of position papers on
current issues.
"Listening to Eisenhower,
Nixon, Romney, Rockefeller
and all the others," said t h e
Nebraskan, who was one of
the Republican National Com
mittee representatives," I
was amazed that on most oc
casions, after they had talked
matters over, how almost all
were able to vote yes on t h e
position papers."
In this way Bliss has helped
stop bickering within the par
ty, Ross said.
Ross also discussed actual
party machinery with the
students, describing the Na
tional Convention as "one of
the greatest shows on earth."
The "cast" will consist of
the candidates and the dele
gates and their alternates,
Senators Represent
NU At Student Meet
Four ASUN senators will
represent the University at a
two-day meeting of the Ne
braska Student Government
Association Dec. 1 and 2.
Appointed as delegates by
the Senate were Phil Board
man, Kathy Augustin, John
Wirth and Phil Bowen. The
meeting brings together rep
resentatives from all Nebras
ka state-supported schools.
Miss Augustin and Board
man will be the official Uni
versity representatives with
voting privileges, while Bow
en and Wirth will be permit
ted to discuss matters with
other delegates without vot
ing rights.
Although specific discussion
items have not been selected,
Wirth said that possible dis
cussion topics might include
the role of student govern
ments, the concept of student,
power and the broadening of
educational opportunities.
Other items might include
co-ordinating state-supported
schools by placing them un
der the jurisdiction of a cen
tral Board of Regents.
with heated bidding for "lead
roles," including the conven
tion chairmanship and the
keynote, speech.
"There is a wealth of po
tential candidates," Ross
said, pointing out Richard
Nixon as a logically strong
prospect in the Nebraska and
other primaries.
Although California Gover
nor Ronald Reagan has not
yet pushed his candidacy,
Ross said, he may also make
a big bid for the Nebraska
primary.
"Whoever is the nominee,"
Ross noted, "he will have to
effectively use the party's or
ganization. And not only will
he have to devise a campaign
policy that will point out the
Johnson administration fail
ures, b u t he must suggest
better Republican alterna
tives." Emphasizing the impor
tance of party unity, Ross
said he felt the Republicans
could win in 1968.
"The people are absolutely
unhappy and distracting of
Lyndon Johnson," he s a i d,
"and not just because of
Vietnam. But also because of
crime rates and many other
failures of the Johnson administration.
At a recent meeting, the
Student Leadership Confer
ence on State Government
passed resolutions supporting
a lower voting age and a
State Higher Education Com
mittee and opposing higher
tuition at state schools.
