IS NSA NECESSARY . . .
A letterip appeared in Tuesday's Daily Nebraskan
advocating Nebraska University's participation in NSA.
This letter was signed "A Law Student." If there is to
be such an argument put forth for this group, it seems
only right that the signer should give his name. If he
has such views, and is willing to air them in the paper or
anywhere else, he should be willing to present his identity
instead of hiding it that is if the letterip writer is a law
student.
"Law student" refers to the recent forum discussion
of NSA. He refers to the "fine and worthy" principles and
objectives of the NSA. But he does not, nor do any
NSA supporters, ever elaborate on these "fine and worthy"
principles. There has not been any clear-cut description
of what NSA could do for Nebraska. Janis Tremper, the
national officer who spoke at the above mentioned forum
was asked several times from the floor to tell us exactly
what the NSA stands for and what it could do for us.
Miss Tremper evaded almost all such questions. She sug
gested that the NSA could book dance bands, cheaply, for
member schools; that the NSA could be a clearing house
of information on other schools and on scholarships. Could
the NSA book dance bands cheaply? Could the NSA give
students any more information about other schools and
scholarships than students could get themselves directly
from the school? It is not likely.
At the same forum, Norm Leger, representative to
the regional convention, gave a list of things that the NSA
might possibly do on this campus. He didn't say that the
NSA would accomplish or even attempt to accomplish
these things, but that it might. Then, at the conclusion
of his talk, he said that he realized there were groups or
organizations already on this campus that were handling
the projects or could easily handle them but that NSA
would give a national incentive or push. If, as admitted
by an NSA representative, all the proposed NSA projects
could be taken care of by groups already on the campus,
why should Nebraska tvaste the time, money and effort
on such a superfluous organization. J. K.

fancy lightly turns to thoughts cf
rain. Even classrooms serve as
constant reminder of the unplea
sant weather as raindrops make
swirling eddies on the floor. The
sky turns grey and the campus
becomes a quagmire.
Tennis courts get more than
their share of mud. Each spring
brings the promise of hard-sur
facing the courts for summer and
each summer finds the work de
laved until fall. Fall rains are
common in this part of Nebraska
and the work is postponed again
Result: Only a few weeks of the
entire year are the courts in suit
able condition for use.
The parking lots at this time
are a natural hazard to be avoided
by every automobile driver on Ag.
Even if one is fortunate enough
to be able to drive into a parking
lot without getting stuck he faces
the problem of walking a consid
erable distance in ankle-deep
mud.
Monday was a day of snowbound
motorists; nevertheless cars jam
med parking lots at mid-morning
Of these a few more than half
were able to park in the approved
areas, one by one the line oi
cars was added to until they hid
the no parking signs and even
appeared on the mall.
Double parking is objectionable
from the safety standpoint and
detracts from the beauty of the
mall. However, an officers' field
day with a handful of ticket
books will not .sojve vie problem
The order is a big one and for
its sucess it needs student back
ing ail the way. A good univer
sity must meet the needs of its
students as they arise even in
the little things. Parking lots
could prove a beginning for some
real student zeal for campus im
provements. As for recreational
facilities, they should be in
creased and when it comes to
tennis courts I suggest some
thing concrete.

LINCOLN A test ot polentiial
presidential strength in Nebraska
will be held in the April 13 pri
maries as a direct result of the
efforts of the Nebraska Bi-partisan
committee, sponsors of the
"all-star" presidential primary.
Petitions were filed today with
Nebraska Secretary of State
Marsh for President Truman on
the Democratic ballot and on the
Republican side, the six promin
ently mentioned as possible Re
publican nominees: Thomas E.
Dewey, governor of New York;
Douglas MacArthur, U. S. army
general in charge of the Ameri
can occupation of Japan; Joseph
W. -Martin, Congressman from
Massachusetts and speaker of the
house of representatives; Harold

LINCOLN Albin T. Anderson,
Democratic candidate for the U.S
Senate said Tuesday that he will
"investigate the filing" of Terry
Carpenter for the same office,
Carpenter and a Notary Public
employee of his aledgedly "fixed"
a sworn petition dated March 1,
violating several laws by not cor
rectly dating a sworn statement,
for Carpenter was in New York
on the date of the supposed state
ment. State House attorneys ex
pressed the opinion that if it
could be conclusively shown that
there had been no mistake made
in the dates that Carpenter was
in New York, the filing could
be invalidated. Legal filings close

E NIMBLE
SPANIEL
by Sam Warren
In this inventive day and age
the most needed contribution to
scientific perfection is a glorified
overshoe with golf-shoe cleats to
prevent the twenty slips per day
on glassy, snow-packed sidewalks
left unshoveled around campus..
Particularly annoying are the
walks on the north side of "T"
street between 16th and 14th
streets, and the south side of
"R" street between 14th and 11th
streets.
Our particular pet peeve in this
regard falls on the walks along
University Episcopal church which
are NEVER . shoveled after any
snow, light or heavy. Four weeks
ago, when alternate sunshine and
snowfall resulted in ice-covered
walks where snow had not been
removed originally, the church fi
nally employed one ambitious soul
who spent several hours trying to
chip away the ice from the church
walks with a snow shovel. A
broom would have worked twice
as quickly four days before!
Iron Curtain of Sex.
Last night the iron curtain of
sex segregation was wrung up and
down on another Coed Follies,
which like the P.E.O., could offer
the unofficial slogan, "Petticoats
enter only, pants entirely out."
Considering the great amount of
effort that goes into the produc
tion and its explicit purpose of
raising funds for A. W. S., one
eanot help but ask why the show
should not be open to the male
population as well.
The A. W. S. would make twice
as much money and the skitsters
would have the satisfaction of
performing before a far larger
group. And if there's any question
about having to change the nature
of the act, all we have to say is
that the girls went to the Kosmet
Klub fricas, didn't they? The fel
las would take the follies as is,
with no questions asked, how
about it?
Contemporary Art Featured.
A student identification card is
any student's passport to the 58th
annual Nebraska Art Association
exhibition now showing in Morrill
Hall. (General admission, 30
cents).
This year, as last, contempo
rary American art highlights the
exhibit. Acknowledged to be one
of the Midwest's outstanding cul
tural events, the display is assem
bled each year from leading gal
leries in the east by the university
art galleries director, Dwight
Kirsch.
Especially intriguing this year
are the pieces of sculpture placed
in the galleries and the corridor.
Milton Hebald's bronze "Jungle
Gym," is so constructed that the
four or five children s figures can
be removed and replaced at differ
ent positions on the cross-bars.
When the Lincoln public school
children are turned loose on the
exhibit teachers will probably have
to drag the tots away from "Jun
gle Gym."
Captivating, too, is Leo Ani-
mo s translucent plastic piece,
"Spring," whose two stylized fig
ures manage to present both a
whispy and a solid appearance.
Berta Margoulies' bronze pierce,
"Strike," packs considerable punch
into the determined countenances
of the three picketers.
