Irwla faroon THE FINEST SPIRIT One of the finest expressions of Cornhuskcr spirit this writer has ever seen was given Wednesday when the entire travelling foot ball squad and managers held a testimonial dinner for Coach Bernie Masterson. With few drills and no fanfare, Bernie's mm said food by to Kin. afl a..A..&..4S.. . 1 a . - ... ... pirsrniiug uain nc ana nis wne wim gins, mere were no outsiders present, just a group of men who are bound together in friendship and the Ccrnhusker spirit. Now a days, it's the stylish thing to be tough. Sentiment is thrown overboard in bigtime football. But here were tough men, hardened by quite a few seasons of football, doing a fine and beauti ful thing. The entire football squad had invited Bernie to dinner to tell him of their regrets that he is leaving the university. Little was iu wnrn me time ior speeches came because the same spirit that had moved Bernie's men to ask him to dinner conveyed itself to everyone present. .There was no need for long speeches. au.. r i i . -wnrane spojte ior the team. Then he presented Master son with the gifts. Bernie stood, up, read Kipling's poem "If" and set down after: a- few words. Then, all these university men stood and sang "The Cornhusker." The team members and Bernie filed from the room scarcely a dry-eye in the group. ' This was a rreat gesture. A beautiful gesture. It should be told and retold. Added to the myriad stories that go to making the Cornhusker legend, it will help to make the university ever greater.

Nebraska. LINCOLN. A drive to A U ' j-ear v.i. m.. After reading your editorial in this morning's Daily Nebras kan, I can't help but write my comments. Does G. M. realize how his words of "danger", "fear", and "worry" stuck out in his edi torial? I would like to ask how far would this university get if high school graduates were "worried" or "feared" the dangers of at tending a university? And goodness knows there's enough of them; excessive drinking, excessive smoking, dirty campus politics, (as the YWCA election), agnostic professors, even communistic speak ers (the history department tells us). Or if the professors and coaches were "worried" or "feared" the Omaha gang and boards of directors? 1 'm afraid we wouldn t have a university because students and professors alike would be staying home because of the fears and dangers involved in coming to the campus. Where would anyone have gained anything by heeding to their fears and worries? Where would the church be if the minister and laymen were "afraid" of ridicule or the wrong group running the church, and just stayed away? What would happen to the last sane organiza tion in "our civilization? The time has come when we must decide to have a national organization or not to take a step forward or back. Who is go ng to be the loser if we don't joint the NSA, the other 47 affiliated member schools, or Nebraska university? Before I close I want to make it clear I am not communistic and I do not believe in their principles of coercion but instead of being "afraid" or "worried" about the "dangers" of communists, I am taking my stand positively on the side of Christianity' based on Christian principles to fight this menace. I think we should take this step forward and join the N.S.A. and help make it the kind of an organization a democratic coun try can produce which will have an answer to communism, rather than be frightened back into a barbaric, unsocial, not-even-trying to-get-along, attitude!
