A Day To Remember . . .
Monday, March 17 a day to remember for St. Pad
dies day remember for weekend hangovers remember
for one of the most dangerous decisions ever handed down
by the supreme court of our land. This decision, that com
munists sympathizers maybe summarily dismissed from
civil service jobs, lays the field wide open to one of the
greatest witch hunts since the Sdem trials.
The immediate implication of the decision is that we
will rid the government of agents of an unofficial (enemy)
admirable. There is certainly no doubt in our minds
that such agents do exist, and that further, steps should
be taken to eradicate them. However, thru the veil of this
primary fact we find ourselves faced with the uncertainty
of who is to decide whether a civil servant is, or is not, a
communist sympathizer, and just what does being a com
munist sympathizer consist of.
If Senator McKellar is to be the judge it consists of
any man associated with the late President Roosevelt's
ideologies, and further, any man who will not let his office
be corrupted by McKellar patronage i. e.; David Lilienthal.
If Representative Rankin sets the criterion it will be
anyone who is slightly left of extreme right, who doesn't
believe in "propah tariffs" and "the righteousness and in
evitability of white soopramacy". This is not an exagger
ated analogy, but an unfortunate truth. We need look no
farther than our own great Senator Wherry to get a pic
ture of the red scare to come.
If we are to rid ourselves of the reds in government,
let us set up a proper screening board from within the serv
ice itself, not give CARTE BLANC privileges to the politi
cal opportunists by simple negative decisions with no bind
ing opinions.
Monday, March 17 at day to remember.

Madam Editor,
All was sweetness and light, this day after the glorious
17th of March. My Erse heart was happy and I passed a
few witticisms with one O'Kelly.
Then I picked up a copy of your yellow sheet The Daily
Nebraskan and me day was ruined. For t'was there I
read, "B. Harrington Named Model Ulsterman". A more
malicious slander I have never seen, for it was referring
to a son of the ould sod. If I were Harrington, I'd sue.
Since when is an Ulsterman an Irishman? One might
just as well call a flea a dog, or mistletoe an oak. Every
true Irishman (and half -Irishman), including us few de
scended from the High-Kings of Tara, should rise and de
mand a retraction of his heinous statement. My blood boils
when I think of all my noble kin who died in the Battle O
the Boyne, the Potato Famine, and the Black and lan atro
cities, and who are now confused with Orangemen.
Sure, its as me honored ancestor. Shamus O'Tierney, the
last chief Druid of Connaught, said, "St. Patrick drove the
snakes from Ireland and the British brought them Dack .
Erin go bragh,
George Tierney (shestak).
Old Gold Sales
Month Honors
President Kent
March has been designated as
the "President's Old Gold Month"
by the Lorillard organization to
celebrate the fifth anniversary of
H. A. Kent as president of the
company.
The firm has launched a na-
Dear Madam Editor:
The fact that you do not approve of gripers was made
sufficiently clear by the reprinted editorial of our Utah
student friend. I can sincerely say that I share your dislike
of those who never open their mouths but that the most
vile stream of debasing utterances flow forth. I abhor with
even greater fervor the timid soul who is perfectly con-
X J S . -A t A V .ll i . . .
leniea wun inmgs as iney are, ana never emits a syllable
except with extreme caution, lest it should offend someone.
If your paper is really desperate for writers and material
to write about, perhaps you would do well to print some of
those redundant gripes of which you complain. You might
even run across something amounting to constructive criti
cism. Anything of this nature would perhaps be an improve
ment upon the inane articles written by the staff thus far.
.This may seem a rather impudent suggestion, but I and
many others of the student body are skeptical concerning
the benefit which THE DAILY NEBRASKAN in its present
and also past form contributes to the welfare of the Univer
sity as a whole.
Formerly I winced every time I glanced at Ragged
Edges with its listing of the Greek alphabet, and at the con
tinual harping about student disregard for the precious
little grass that survived the daily stampede across lawns
to class. But now, what do I see as I open the paper ex
pecting to read the editorial? Abiding there in an over
bearing manner, as if it threatened to take up the entire
page, is that worthless smattering of words called Dial
Twisting. This proved to be more than I could bear. Pray
tell, what can be the purpose of this added contribution?
If anyone cares to enrich his college education by listening
to Baby Snooks or Blondie, then far be it from me to dis
courage him. However, I am glad to see the NEBRASKAN
does not recommend insipid programs like the Boston
Symphony concerts or round table discussions.
Maybe I am being too harsh since the semester is just
underwav and the paper may still be in an embryo state.
A good way to get out of that shell would be to heed a few
of the gripes which may wander into your omce. .vvno
knows? Thev may build themselves up to be a major
controversy, and what could be more useful to an editor
who is in need of subject matter? If this does not prove
successful, another common formula for discovering ma
terial, which I am sure abounds all around you, lies in the
old commandment, "Open up your Eyes!"
Sincerely,
BOB EVANS
