Dear Editor;
I came to the University at a
time when it was not impossible
to enter other schools. I did not
come because I was a native Ne
braskan (I' am not), or because I
Jiad oil my schooling in the state
(I did not), or because I could
not afford another school. I
worked part-time six of the seven
semesters I was in school; I could
have worked my way through
another school. I came because
I wanted to be a Cornhusker. not
just for four years, but for the
rest of my life.
Last spring, before receiving
my degree, I had the privilege of
working with Fritz Daly. Mr.
Daly would not like me to say
that he is the most active alumnus
of the University I know. He
is, as I am, extremely proud of
the thousands of grads who give
of their time, energy and money
to help build the "greater uni
versity" which Dr. Gistavson
promised us.
Yes, the book drive was my
own idea. It grew from a talk
which Dr. Knute Broady of the
Extension Division gave at an
alumni meeting which I attended.
Very few people have heard that
it originated with me because I
leel that bringing personalities
into the picture would subject
the drive to T. S. Eliot's last
temptation, "To do the right
thing for the wrong reason."
With all of Europe torn to
shreds, with the students begging
for even mimeographed lecture
notes to replace destroyed books,
Phaedrus yelps because the drive
was not started through channels.
I can only cry with Kipling "If

Thee in awe.. Lord God of Hosts,
be with us yet. Lest we forget,
lest we forget." If American
thought has come to this mean
level, we will need his guidance. .
Every great idea originates in
one mind, but it is the end, not
the beginning, which is the im
portant thing. I shall continue to
offer my help to the University
regardless of Phaedrus' opinions.
This Phaedrus, unlike the
fabulist whse name he usurps, is
not a Roman, but a Greek. And
even his method is a repitition
of that used last year by those on
the opposite side of the fence.
In giving personal instructions
to his staff tfiat the articles were
to be run anonymously, the Edi
tor has taken unto himself full
responsibility for their appear
ance. Should further defamation
make legal action advisable, this
responsibility will not cease
when Mr. Novotny leaves the
office next week.
As to the implied suggestion
that Eugene Berman and I were
working for ulterior motives, I
can speak only for myself, since
I have not consulted with him.
We do not agree on many mat
ters, particularly of social theory,
but those differences are to be
settled in private, not by child
ishly refusing to speak to him, or
by anonymously smearing his
name in public columns.
To suggest that his argument
against the Pershing Rifles is a
"party line outburst" is danger
ously close to libel, as set forth
by a recent N. Y. Supreme Court
decision. And I might remind
Phaedrus that another alleged
party line in America is the
crippling of all budding liberal
movements, which puts Mr.
Phaedrus and his blow at the
NSA in the same class where he
tucked Berman.
As to the NSA. I have argued,
begged and implored for our af
filiation in every ear open to me,
from freshmen to the adminis
tration. I believe that one voice
crying in the wilderness may be
lost, but that the voices of three
million American students, once
united in NSA, cannot be ig
nored. And I have the decency to
stand up for what I believe
openly, without stooping to un
signed columns, or personal mud
slinging.l As to his sniping at me
personally, I offer to him the
Tibetan proverb which is my
solace in such times as this: "The
only real weather is inside one
self, not outnof-doors."

IF YOU HAVE A GOOD
HORSE . . .
Gentlemen, shall we "Ride him
to death?"
To the proponents of the so
called "Operations Subsistence" as
I heard it presented on the cam
pus on Tuesday afternoon, let me
say as one vet to another, "For
Shame." Certainly we could all
i iso mnrp mnnfv but when some
one says we NEED it? What is the
matter fellows, can t we work a
bit. cot in a little practical experi
ence at the same time even
though it may be at frying 'bur
gers' and perhaps come out of
this institution with a little dust
on the fingers as well as on the
brain? Those fellows with sev
eral dependents and there are
quite a number and the lucky
fellows with a brand new family
do need more, but have you heard
any of them complaining?
Let us not lose sight of the
fact that the government does
not owe us this education nor is
it trying to give us a free ride
they just wanted to help. Never
before have the large majority
of us had such an easy opportun
ity to get an education at so little
effort.
There were, I'd say, some two
hundred in attendance at the
above mentioned meeting out of
the four or five thousand vet
erans on the campus so may I
try to make one point clear in re
gards to the miblicitv in Wednes
day's "Daily" concerning the vet
erans asking for more money. This
does not represent my feelings and
I believe I'm safe in saying it does
not represent the large majority
of vets on the campus. Can you
see any sense in borrowing on the
future when a little effort now
will keep you solvent?"
Incidentally, in regard to "Oper
ations Subsistence," if you haven't
read the front page of Wednes
day evening's World Herald, you'll
never know who the "Friends
are, backing this show.

Dear Sir:
Mr. Berman attacks the wooden
rifles of the Pershing Rifle ini
tiates as similar in intent and pur
pose to the late (I hope) Deut
schen Jugend. While the Persh
ing Rifles are behaving just as
asinine as other fraternities in
their "initiation," the parallel is
unfair. If I were a member of the
P. R. I would call Mr. Berman a
"damn pacifist," and be equally
unfair. Since I am not, I'll just
consider him a mistaken pacifist.
He also states that we should
"put down our arms." We did,

in the suitcase that really caused
the trouble. Oh! Hum! Drink

Bill LeRoy announced that he has

Question of the week Could it
be that Jean'Leadly, Gamma Phi
pledge, has two Georges in her
life? And if not, then why is she
spending semester vacation in
Kansas City?
The buddy situation between
Kappa pledge Mary Ryons and
Beta Bill Siebolt is getting pretty
serious Mary just presented Bill
with a dozen oranges imported,
no less, from California Sun
kissed maybe?
We managed to discover at last
Pi Phi pledge Joris Dcvereux's

The Theta house is a bit con

Peg Lawrie again confus'n isn't
it?
