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

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

that had moved Bernie's men to ask him to dinner conveyed itself
to everyone present. .There was no need for long speeches.

-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.

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! ' 1
