the landscape program. Precious nitrogen is being released into the air, reducing survival
chances for the campus lawn. Fire-fighting is wasting man-hours. Let's cooperate!

National ISA
Elects Ben Wall
To Pub Board
Ben Wall has been elected one
of the five directors of the nation
al publications board of the Na
tional Independent Students' as
sociation. He was elected at the
NISA convention in Urbana, Illi
nois, April 22 and 23.
The board will act as advisor
and supervisor of the publication
of NISA's new national monthly
magazine, "Smoke Signal". The
individual board members will al
so edit and collect material sub
mitted by the associate editors at
each school in their region. Other
board members are Bob Leeds, U.

Colorado; Bob Martz, U. of Indi

Over 500 delegates representing
56 of the 89 member schools of
NISA attended the convention.
The Nebraska delegation was
headed by Wall, and included

Phyllis Johnson.
threats of war. Only ten years ago
the idea of human rights was
largely a concept of philosophy.
Today it is a principle of action.
"Third, there is another value
now partially obscured by the
hysteria of the elders. It is the
expanding will to personal demo
cratic action. Many American
youths who fought for democracy
in World War II had little real
conception of its meaning. They
did not see the incongruity of
such a crusade to save or carry
democracy to the world in racial
ly segregated units.
"FOURTH, there has been as
sociated with this new age of vio
lence an almost unhealthy and
terrified respect for science. It
is well to keep in mind that
science is not the only kind of
knowledge there is. Our emotions,
our purposes, our values, our
ideals, and our decisions, in their
living context of actual expen
ence, lie beyond the reach of
scientific method.
"Fifth, is one more value sensed
by the newer generation. It is the
imperative pursuit of peace. Here
again is another challenge. One
first test of international under
standing that can lead to world
peace is our ability to live peace
fully at home with our own hu
man differences.
"In our world the possibilities
of good are as limitless as the
possibilities of evil. There need
be no fear and no frustration if
you only use the skills and knowl
edge already within your reach.
For fear itself, is a negative and
dangerous thing," Dr. Jetlnson
concluded.
