A Different Plot
The time: 7:45 a.m.
The place: In a car on the way to school.
The main character: You, the student.
The plot: You, the student, are driving to school. On
the way to school, you pass numerous street corners. On
many of these corners students are waiting for busses.
Usually these students may b recognized by the books
under their arms. You look at them and drive right past.
The students catch their busses and ride to school.
Revised plot: You, the student, are driving to school.
On the way to school you pass numerous street corners. On
many of these corners, students are waiting for busses.
You, recognizing these students by the books under their
arms, stop and pick them up, thus filling up your car and
at the samo time saving them both time and money.
Reason for changing plot: There are a number of
students who drive their cars to school who don't live on
campus. They could, without inconvenience to themselves,
pick up other students and bring them to school. This
ride would save both time and money for those students
who are unfortunate enough not to have cars.
Busses are always crowded with people going to work
as well as students at 8 o'clock in the morning. You might
save them the discomfort of trying to juggle their books
while standing on a crowded bus. Or the discomfort of
waiting 15 to 20 minutes in the rapidly apprOaching cold
weather. Picking these students up might save them from
being late to class.
So, how about it ? Let's change the plot of this story.
Give your fellow students a lift !
A New Start . . .
Student government on this campus has not had easy
sledding in the past two years. Its work and reputation
have been batted like a ping pong ball from the faculty
to the students, the students back to the faculty. Criticism
of its original ideas and proposals was quick in coming;
praise for the routine work was noticeably absent.
Never very powerful, student government was fur
ther weakened in the spring of 1949 when the faculty
disbanded the Student Council for discrimination in the
election clause of the constitution. Not only did the fac
ulty believe it was failing in its purpose, but many stu
dents also expressed doubt as to its democratic represen
tation. Plans for the Interim Council were laid in the Con
stitutional Assembly which resulted from the faculty's
action. This Interim Council made its debut last fall. The
nucleus of this Council were six holdover members and
built around these experienced students were representa
tives elected by 19 respective campus organizations. But
again its work was hampered even more than its pre
, decessors. Not only did the Council have to contend with
the now traditional faculty and student criticism, but their
work was divided into two separate channels.
The ambition of this two-fold purpose clouded the real
difficulty. Now, not only was the Council expected to
carry on the routine work and solve new problems which
confronted them, but they had the revision on the election
clause of the constitution also. In fact, the real purpose
of the Interim Council was to rewrite the clause, firstly,
and carry on the work of the Council, secondly.
But many problems arose during the year which de
manded the attention of the Council the big name bands
and the student court were two examples. The Council, as
the only form of student government on the campus,
automatically assumed the responsibility of reviewing
and solving these problems. But in doing so, the Council
was forced to sacrifice time set aside for the revision of
the election clause.
Near the end of the year, these 25 students submitted
their revision to the faculty. It was rejected as not being
the best solution to the problem. Again, as happened the
year before, an Interim Council has been set up, built
around six holdover members. And again this 1950 edition
of the Interim Council has a two-fold purpose, revising the
election clause and carrying on its routine work.
But this year's Interim Council has one distinct ad
vantage. The six holdover members know the workings of
an Interim Council, what the problems were and what
should be the best way to solve them. Their experience
and leadership" will go far in setting up a Student Council
constitution that is workable and respected one that will
cease the necessity for an Interim Council.

BY ARTHUR J. VENNIX
It's a safe bet that this review
won't create as much adverse
criticism as did the review of
Hemingway's "Across the River
and Into the Trees." Author's
note).

Cry "commu
nist" too often
under false
c i rcumstances
nnri vnur nn.
vennlx
dience looses Interest or event
ually becomes terrified. Such Is
the lesson being taught by Owen
Lattimore in "Ordeal by Slander."
In the new book, Lattimore
presents a graphic account of the
results of the spurious charges
made against him by Sen. Joseph
McCarthy. Everyone who has
read any of the headlines declar
ing Lattimore the "top Soviet
espionage agent" in the United
States owes it to himself to rood
"Ordeal by Slander."
BECAUSE the kinds of charges
made by McCarthy are so luridly
sensational they recive more than
the usual amount of publicity.
Since vthe defense against such
charges is less spectacular, it re
ceives less colorful attention.
In a scathing denunciation of
McCarthy and his kind, Latti
more declares his innocence. He
hurls counter charges at his
senatorial attacker without
benefit of senatorial immunity.
LATTIMORE'S innocence has
apparently been proved to the
satisfaction of the congressional
investigating committee. His de
fense, however, cost thousands of
dollars, hundreds of hours of
work and worry, dozens of
friendships, the cancellation of
speaking engagements and return
of his books to the publishers,
according to "Ordeal by Slander."
Oddly enough, Lattimore seems
to hold no permanent bitterness
toward McCarthy. The principal
theme of "Ordeal by Slander" is
that if the American people are
to be subjected to false charges
terror will be the result. Such
methods were used by Hitler and
Mussolini, and are now being
used by the Soviets in their grab
for world dominance.
THESE ARE premises advanced
by Lattimore. They sound sensi
ble to this reviewer. "Ordeal by
Slander" is a book which you
should read. It will give you
cause to think. It may make you
realize that unless we Americans
guard our heritage of freedom
and take it less for granted, we
can be subjected even we little
people to the abuses that have
prevailed under the nazis, the
fascists, and the communists.
(A copy of "Ordeal by Slander"
is available in the social studies
reading room, Love Memorial
library).
Rules For Vet
Insurance Told
Veterans will have practically
no trouble in keeping their G.I.
insurance in force if they follow
four points issued by the Veter
ans Administration.
Payments should be identified
with the name and address of the
veteran, as well as his insurance
number and service serial num
ber. By waiting until near the end
of the 31-day grace period before
mailing their payments, vets run
the risk of allowing their insur
ance to lapse.
Premium envelopes furnished
by the VA should be used for all
payments made by mail. If they
are not, the envelope should
carry the full name, address, in
surance number and armed forces
serial number of the sender.
Also, be sure the envelope is
addressed to the proper VA in
surance office, which, for this
area, is the VA Center, Fort
Snelling, Minn.

Frosh Suggest
Ways to Alter
Campus Life
If you had Aladin's magic
lamp and could change or elfmi
nate anything in your freshman
life what would you wish for?
Frosh asked this question pro
duced their ideas on just how the
University ought to be altered.
Here is what 14 members of
the class of '54 have to suggest:
Bart Rochman: "I would do
away with freshman status and
begin school as a sophomore."
Keith Fiene: "Spend more time
watching girls than studying
homework."
Sue Huddlcston: "Change
places with the actives in my
sorority."
Jim Stern: "Get rid of guys
who ask me what 1 would like
to do away with."
Cal Kuska: "Do away with
pledge training."
Phil Heidelk: "Change my
grades."
Jim Outhouse: "Eliminate Sat
urday morning work detail."
Bud Hamilton: "Get rid of all
the girls on campus, ha, ha."
Janet Stcffen and Jo Holden:
"Stop waiting in lines."
Ronald Hagen: "Throw away
the beanies."
Sally Hall: "Do away with
check marks and 11:30 p.m.,
lights out at the dorm."
John Gregory: "Do away with
three-fourths of the men on the
campus so that there would be
more girls per boy."
YMCA Schedules
Film, 'Volpone'
"Volpone" is the next foreign
movie scheduled by the YMCA.
It is based on Ben Jonson's im
mortal masterpiece adapted by
Stephen Zweig and starring
Harry Baur and Louis Jouvet.
"Volpone" will be shown Friday
and Saturday, Oct. 6 and 7 in
the Love Library auditorium
starting at 8:00 p.m. Admission is
65 cents.
Sidney McCarten from the
New Yorker says It's been a
long, long time since any picture
has made me laugh as much as
Volpone - hilarious and you cer
tanly ought to see it."
Life magazine states "Superb
ly acted, richly humorous," and
from the Brandon Film News
comes the review "The film is
rich in satire and slap-stick pan
tomine not seen on the screen
since films by Chaplin."

Dairy Judging
Team Travels
2000 Miles
The Varsity Dairy Judging
squad recently completed a
week-long trip to the Intercol
legiate Dairy Judging contest at
Waterloo, Iowa. Covering nearly
i.voo miles, the squad visited
many dairy farms and other
duirying establishments.
1950 team members included
Gervase Francke, Jim Haggart,
and Ken Johnson with Walter
Cole and John Anderson as al
ternates. The team members
placed in that respective order
in number of total points ac
cumulated. Ohio placed first among 26
teams with Iowa following in
second place. Nebraska's plac
ing was not known when this
story went to print.
It was emphasized by Prof.
Davis, team coach, that the trip
was meant to be an educational
trip more than to see how high
the team could place in the con
test. The squad visited many
dairy farms around the Great
Lakes region.
One of the highlights of the
trip was the visit to the Cur
tiss Candy Company Farms lo
cated near Cary, 111. Mr. Cur
tiss started with $200 borrowed
money, and is now worth close
to a million dollars and owns
over 3,000 acres of land. There
were seven different breeds of
cattle there and many kinds of
fowl.
Most of the dairy farms were
managed by Scandinavian and
Swiss farmers. The team mem
bers remarked about the friend
liness of these farmers and the
cleanliness of their farms.
Mr. Davis stated that this
trip was very educational and
that not nearly enough stu
dents have been reporting out
for the judging team.
"Pigskin Parties"
Begin Saturday
The Union will begin its se
ries of 'Pigskin Parties" this
Saturday for the Minnesota
game.
Students may gather in the
Union lounge at 1:30 p.m. to
listen to the play by play des
cription of the game. Jack Maher
will diagram the plays with
colored chalk as they come over
the radio.
These parties will be held
each Saturday that Nebraska is
playing away from home. Other
games away from Lincoln will
be Colorado, Kansas and Okla
homa.

Instructors In
About Bias of
"Textbooks used in schools
and colleges are guilty of pre
petuating antagonisms," said the
American Council on Education
in a pamphlet recently published
in the New York Times.
However, some of the instruc
tors in various departments on
campus take an altogether diff
erent slant on the matter.
S. J. House, political science
professor states, "I doubt that
many schools accept those text
books that are prejudiced. I
know there are a great many of
such texts, but I'm inclined to
believe that very few of them
really sell. I also believe that
instructors can avoid them."
House went on to say that
most books in his field were
fairly competent, save for a slip
up now and then.
Little Opinion
"When selecting a book for
class use, we strive to find one
that contains a minimum of opin
ion," he said. "We try to stick
to fact."
House puts forth the idea that
if there are any opinions to be
"dished out," the student should
be conscious of the fact, whether
it be through lecture or library
reference. A- college student
should take in as many different
views on a subject as possible;
then let him form his own ideas.
On the other hand, Ben
Keeley of the sociology depart
ment asserts, "The prejudice
claim is definitely true. How
ever, one sometimes doesn't real
ize tit's there until they stop to
think and to look for it. Texts
of the lower grades, especially
of high school caliber, ate more
this way than are those of col
lege level."
Keeley added that he thought
instructors sometimes inflitrated
prejudice into their lectures
without being actually conscious
of it.
"Psychology text books can be
a factor in perpetuating stereo
types," believes Dr. R. B. Sey
mour, social psychologist, "How
ever, psychology texts today tend
to present a more balanced pic
ture of minority groups than it
appears that some factions do."
Psychologists find differences
as well as likenesses, in the Ne
gro and the white, for example,
he said.

of view has been taken in this
survey, Miss.Nanatte Hope look

believes it is the Instructor's re

backgrounds for his students so
that they will not receive a dis

prejudice in some cases is tradi

And, finally, she supplied a good
bit of advice for everyone: Do
not dwell on a certain type of
literature; it's bound to become
dull if there is no alteration or
