and an electric guitar championship are just a few other
events on the list of crowd pleasers, according to Bob
Everhart, contest coordinator.
Square dancers, clogg dancers, (a mountain-type jig
v dance) and gandy dancers also will be there to enter
tain. The object of a gandy dance is to drive railroad
spikes'into a railroad tie and pull them out in record time,
Everhart said.
Prizes for the various contests range from $1 to $150
and will be awarded to those placing fifth or higher in
c&cfi contest
Six hours of studio recording time will be awarded to
those thought most desirable by each the Rainbow Re
cording Studio of Omaha and KAJAC recording studio
in Des Moines.
If the tunes do not interest you, a pioneer exposition
also is scheduled. Antiques from the prairie pioneer days
will be. displayed. Spinners and weavers also will be
present, he said.
Wood carvers will show their products and one woman
will bake bread in a barrel.
The barrel, buried in the ground, will serve as
a type of underground oven.
Poetry and reading contests also can be found at the
old-time get together, Everhart said. .
On Sunday, a circuit rider will preach in the hell and
brimstone,, fashion, he said. Old-time gospel music and a
country' dinner will be Sunday highlights, he said. . .
This second annual contest draws nationwide crowds
and is listed by the National Geographic magazine as
a major midwest tourist attraction, Everhart said.
He said the project began last year as a bicentennial
celebration, but received so much national recognition
and was so successful, the project was continued as an
annual event. . . .
The entire weekend's entertainment is sponsored by
various community groups and' is free to the public.
Everhart said the only requirement to enter the
various contests is to register before the contest begins.
All attending are urged to bring chairs to sit on.

style wedding set has long been one
of our most enduring, successful

The ASUN proposal to take control of
the student fees allocations process appears
to have some support within the NU Board
of Regents,
Omaha Regent James Moylan said the
ASUN proposal is agreeable to him.' The
proposal, which was introduced to the
ASUN Senate Wednesday night, calls for
the deletion of all references to the Fees
Allocation Board (FAB) in the university
by-laws.
FAB would be replaced by an alloca
tions board of students picked by ASUN
and faculty members picked by the chan.
cellor,
Students would constitute a majority
on the board,
If the ASUN proposal is to become part
of the by-laws it would have to be formally
approved by the board of regents,
Moylan said some of the past allocations
made by FAB had upset him,
"We are not a child-care institution."
he said, "we are an educational institu
tion," Moylan indicated thai he thought the
bulk of student fees may be taken away.
However, the remainder should be alio-
cated by something other than FAB, he
said.
"I have been pretty upset with some of
the organizations that have been receiving
student fees " he said.
Grand Island Regent Robert Koefoot
said he is going to take a wait-and-see
attitude.
"Before 1 make my decision, I would
like to read all the particulars " he said.
"Right now I have no feelings at all on
the matter, I'll just have to wait and see "
The" proposal currently is in a bill form
before the ASUN Senate which will vote
on the bill next Wednesday, Should it pass,
the ASUN executive committee and
Chancellor Roy Young will initiate formal
procedures to amend the university by-,
laws. '-.
The bill then would have the recom
mendations of the Faculty Senate tacked
on and would be given to the regents for
approval. All this would be completed by
Jan. 1, 1978, according to an ASUN time
table,
