Satire sets stage
for Kosmet Klub
by Bill . Smltherman
Nebraska Staff Writer
Freedom of the "stage" will
b"5 exercised Saturday night
as the annual Kosmet Klub
revue will satirize nearly
every subject even the
-,acrcd ones.
Covering themes from
campus peculiarities to na
tional politics, the show is
composed of skits by six
fraternities.
BETA THETA Pi's skit
concerns . the adventures of
Link Van Clinker, a mythical
character of New Yrok in the
late 18th Century, according
to Dave liuntain. jlmk is a
mutant who is ostracized by
his community because of
laziness. While he is in the
forest he falls asleep and
dreams that he is refused en
trance into Heaven because
he has led a worthless life.
The skit ends as Link goes
back home and makes a sue
cess of himself.
Work on the skit was
started about six weeks ago
and Buntain estimates that
eight to ten thousand man
hours have gone into its
preparation. It has a cast of
about 80 men.
MIKE NELSON, skitmaster
for Beta Sigma Psi, gives the
name of his skit as "We Could
Have Been Pretty In Atlantic
City or 'Missed Here'
America."
The theme is the Mister
America contest, "Coming to
you from beautiful downtown
Grosse Point, Michigan."
Action follows the general
pattern of the Miss America
pageant but terminates very
unusually before the new
Mister America is chosen.
Nelson said the skit has
been in preparation since
mid-September. It has a cast
of around 50.
TRIVIAL TRADITIONS in
Clothing is the theme of Delta
Upsilon's skit, said skitmaster
Steve Rembold. The skit is a
musical review of fashion.
As George Bernard Shaw
once said. "What is fashion
but something so awful that
it must be changed every few
months?" The DU skit
portrays the change and
unreason in modes of human
dress from the 1890's to the
1960's.
car. It sounds like a car. It
goes like a car.
But, really, it's a tank.
The vehicle in question is a
new Lincoln limousine built
for President Johnson and his
successor. It is unlike any car
on the road. First of all, it
costs $500,000, which is about
S497.0O0 more than most cars
go for. And second, it has
some optional extras not
available from your nearby
dealer.
IT HAS, for instance; a
fighter plane canopy and
more than two tons of armor.
This shielding is designed to
stop a ,30-caliber rifle bullet,
a barrage of Molotov
cocktails, or both. Once inside
the six-ton car, claims a Ford
Motor Co. spokesman; the
President will be "perfectly
safe from a small-scale
military attack."
The window glass and the
plastic bubble top canopy; all
bullet-proof; are thicker than
the glass and plastic used in
Air Foroce fighter planes.
The limousine runs on four
heavyduty Firestone truck
tires. Inside each tire is a
large steel disk with a hard
rubber thread, which would
allow the limousine to be
driven Up to 50 miles at top
speeds with all four tires flat.
. TfiE GOVERNMENT won't
say anything about the car
in fact, it doesn't want
anybody else to say anything,
either. Most persons con
nected with the construction
won't say a thing, and when
the Secret Service heard the
Wall Street Journal was
planning a. story on the car,
agents called - editors in

The series of musical
numbers has been in
preparation for about a month
and has a cast of 60.
uviiN holidays are not
safe from accusations of
triviality. In the Sigma Alpha
Epsilon skit the Easter Bunny
is captured by Santa Claus
and his friends on the day
before Easter, according to
sKitmaster Fred Starett.
The conflict is resolved
happily however when the
famed rabbit is rescued by
sucn notable characters as
Superman, Green Lantern
Batman .Wonderwoman, and
a host of other comic book
heroes.
The skit features original
music by Steve Smith with
lyrics by Bill Dittrick. Pro
duction has been going on for
about six weeks with a cast of
around 70.
AFTER FIVE weeks of
practice the Theta Zi skit will
be ready Saturday to take a
Jibe at American politics,
says skitmaster Bill Steen.
The skit has the format of a
local convention of all parties
in which each candidate ex
presses his opinion musically.
It ends when the 70 cast
members choose their can
didate for 1968.
In their appearances the
"candidates" wear caricature
masks. A problem developed
early in rehearsal because the
actors could not brethe, but
this was remedied by cutting
holes in the masks at un
noticed places.
SIGMA CHI'S skit con
centrates on campus life. Ac
cording to Dave Landis it is
aimed at many trivial parts
of college existence. The
satire in the skit is varied and
fast moving, he said.
Under the direction of skit
master Randy Rehmier the 70
to 80 members have been
working for about four weeks.
As in their skit last year, all
music is original.
All of the skits are filled
with music, dance numbers
and satires.

If the Government were to

members.

However, he said, Nixon
would beef up our military
strength for bargaining
purposes to the tune of about
$10 billion a year.
Humphrey would work for

and turn that $10 billion to the
public welfare.
"I firmly believe there will
be a difference to the public
good of about $10 billion a
year," between the two can

SPEAKING AS a Hum-
phi ey advisor and backer,
Heller said that HHH would
(1) run a responsible fiscal
policy and would make "no
easy promises" about tax
decreases; (2) go to business
and labor to work out a
system of voluntary price and
wage restraints; and (3) take
specific steps which don't fit
in with the overall plan.
Nixon, he charged, has not
come out with a real
economic program yet. He
said he detected about seven
different philosophies from
Nixon's six main economic
advisors, and Nixon himself
seems to waiver on his
policies.
"I'm sorry I haven't men
tioned Mr. Wallace yet;" he
added. "But as far as I've
been able to detect, he has no

money back into federal

into the public sector.
" Humphrey has what I
regard as the only viable
program," Heller said; "the
only one that will give us a
fighting chance" against ris
ing prices and wages.
'The best we can hope for
is that our price level will
rise less quickly then our
competitors," he said; adding
that it would be next to im
possible to stop the spiral
now. But it is possible, he
assered, to slow it down
drastically
In concluding, he said that
the "development of a great
prosperity is really only the
first step to the development
of a good and a great socie
ty." IN A PRESS "conference
following the speech; Dr.
Heller was asked about Time
magazine's prediction that he
would be Humphrey's
secretary of the treasury

elected. He said he could not
comment on that, but that he
was amenable to the idea of
serving the government ;n
Washington. "I have long had
some of the polluted Potomac

But, he said, it would take a

of the Vice-President to close

and because of Mr.
Johnson's penchant for
watching all three TV

sets.
If the new limousine proves
satisfactory, the Secret
Service probably will order at
least one more like it. On a
national tour, the President
often leaps from city to city
by air too fast for one car
to keep up with him. Two or
more cars could be leapfrog

Dreeszen urged all faculty to
dismiss classes Tuesday aft
ernoon to allow students to

Dreeszen said he thought
the variety and quality of the
speakers and topics justified
the program taking precedent
over classes.
ZUCKER CONFIRMED the
appearance of State Senators
Roland Luedtke of Lincoln and
Eugene Mahoney of Omaha
who will present the pro and
con arguments for a partisan
Unicameral.
Zucker also expected the
legislators to discuss other
issues facing the Unicameral
such as the State Income Tax.
First District Congressional
candidates Clair Callan and
Bruce Hamilton have con
firmed their arrangements to
participate, according to
coordinating committee
members Diane Theisen.
MISS THEISEN said the
candidates would probably
not debate each other, but
answer questions directly
from the audience.
Zucker announced that the
Nebraska Draft Kasisiauce

speakers.
The first is Dr. Paul Lautcr,
assistant professor at

draft-resistance magazine.
Zucker said Lauter writes
for "New York Review" and
has worked for the American

THE NEBRASKA Draft
