PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Wednesday, March 7, 19511 EDITORIAL COMMENT For the Cause ISA: Rest in Peace . . . ISA seems to be gasping its last breath. Perhaps it is just as well, for nobody but a few Greeks seemed to be very concerned over its fate. Only two people filed for the eight offices in the organization. Perhaps the big stink raised by the recent Stu dent Council investigation of the matter fright ened .away some who might have filed. The inves tigation brought out the dissension within ISA and the lack of interest among its members. The investigation brought out the weaknesses into the limelight for all to see. Most students were undoubtedly afraid to file for a job which would probably be thankless. The Student Council has attempted to make the independent students mad enough to do some thing by suggesting that their representation on the council be cut This has brought little re action. . Perhaps it is just as well to let ISA die quiet death. The investigation has probably done more harm than good. It might be that the de mand for an organization similar to ISA will arise in the future. At present, there seems to be little demand. Its need is seriously questioned by many Independents. Any reorganization of the Independents will have to come from the Independents themselves and not from the Student Council The council may certainly offer suggestions, but it cannot force an organization upon students who appar ently do not want it ISA, let it rest in peace. t r. That Added Lab Hour When a student finally survives and ends trials of registration each semester, he likes to believe his schedule is complete, stationary and static. This ideal philosophy would include all extra laboratories, all quiz sections, all recitation pe riods, all observation periods, all hearing labora tories and whatever other outside work the de partment thinks will benefit the poor unsuspect ing student who signed up for a three hour course and finds it has changed to six hours of work. Specifically we point to the department of romance languages and generally to all depart ments who spring additional labs or sessions without forewarning. The highly valuable bene-' fits received from spending one hour each week listening to French or Spanish recordings and then trying to babble it back, is greatly recog nized by most students. However, the idea of an added hour in the labs to attach the hearing phones is not quite so welcome especially if provided at the last minute. True, this applies particularly to the language department, but there are others at fault also. When a student signs up for a course, he tra ditionally also signs up for a particular period or periods and then tries to arrange in his schedule whatever other course, work or activity he wishes to engage in during a college career. Also he ex pects to do three hours work for a three credit hour course. Of couse, the student is not so credit conscious he will place that above what ever knowledge he will receive from class. But nevertheless, credits are important especially after eight semesters. When an added lab hour is suddenly required, there aren't too many stu dents who will jump with joy. By the time they are notified, many already have a complete schedule of the semester arranged. However, even though this added work was not listed in the semester schedule, or no warning given, the student still will have a certain per centage deducted from his grade for failing to attend all the extra session. Granted, the ear phones, dictations etc, re important It's even more important to be sure they are used to avoid having them removed for lack of use. Still a stu dent should be given a fair chance at the open ing of the semester, even at registration, to sign up for the added hour. This may involve an extra sentence or two in the catalog. But it would raise a grade or two at the semester's end for a student who innocently filled his schedule after registra tion without leaving an hour for whatever the department may assign. "Grades may not be every thing, but they sure help." And attending these labs helps the 1 grade. Unless notification of added labs is given along with the regular listing, of the course, stu dents may well wait until the middle of the sem- i ester to decide whether Tuesday afternoon is free for work or the like. After all, you may find out that day is supposed to be reserved for reading the adventures of Topaze. j.k. Stolen Goods Odd Sports Terms Replace 'Win Says Michigan Paper i By Connie Gordon 3 There hasn't been a basketball team who has won a game in years. According to the Michigan State News, basketball teams just dont win any more. Instead, they annihilate, blast, conquer, de molish, eradicate, finish, grind, hurdle, incapaci tate, jump, kin, lambast, murder, nullify, oblitrata, pulverize, quench, rap, shade, trample, undermine, vanquish, wallop, exterminate, yoke or zip past them. So you see, you can't just win in the game of basketball. The Daily Lobo, student newspaper of the Uni versity of New Mexico, reports that occupants of the men's new dorm there were unable to receive incoming messages from one of the telephones there. After searching a bit, it was discovered that some emotional lad had actually torn the receiver from the box. No-Sad-Songs-For-Me Dept. Stolen is the fol lowing poem from the Cameron Collegian of the Cameron State Agricultural College at Lawton, Okla. Here goes: The student gets the newspaper, The school gets the fame. The printer gets the money. The editor gets the blame. Ah, yes, but it's a great life if you don't weaken! The "Out of the Night" column in the Lincoln Star reports that the editors of the Iowa State college humor magazine, the Green Gander, have discovered that i'ts risky being risque. Recognizing this fact, they have promised to "clean-up" the magazine after protests that con tents of the last two issues have not been up to college level. Pray tell, what Is ""college level?" This is all the pilfered material for now. So, un til next column time, I bid you adieu! Female Retort To the Editor: Allow me brief meditation on the "Great Lover" who is un happy because all the girls on the campus are knocking them selves out in an effort to be his lucky pin-mate. First, let me astate that I am not cynical. I certainly don't be lieve that all men are cads only about 99 percent All poor Randolph asks is a date every week or two and a little "fun." He didn't explain very satisfactorily what he con siders a date or what constitutes his "fun." I'll draw my con clusions and if the shoe doesn't fit Randolph, it will fit the rest of the 99 per cent. First off, this "lover" will wait until 7:30 p. m on Saturday be fore calling for a date, delighting in the suspense and near panic he is creating in all the houses. Each girl on the campus is en gaged in a game of bridge (he says) waiting hopefully for his call and wondering if she'll be the lucky, priveleged one this ween. Our Romeo calls and reluctantly suggests a date (just to pamper her, of course. After all what female in her right mind would prefer to waste time viewing a movie when she could be out necking with the "Great Lover').! After the movie, our hero ex-! plains that he has just had the valves ground in the old Chevy and it's riding mighty, mighty smooth so why not drive around bit and absorb a little fresh air. If our privileged Cinderella declines, depend upon old Romeo to get that whipped dog look in his eyes and come out with, "Why you evil-minded girl How dare you question my honor!" If our girl consents to the ride and finds stupidly believing that the fellow has nothing in mind but a ride and then decided that she'd better go home when she finally realizes that her fate is the privelege of being slobbered on for the next hour or so trust Romeo to bristle and yell. well, why did you let me drive all the way aut here? You oughta know what I had in mind." But Cinderella co-operates with Romeo then that lucky girl may be called next month when "the lover" decides to generously squander another evening with some deserving female. Getting back to Romeo (if he's not still with us) he's seeking sympathy because one particular girl whom he enjoyed dating ir regularly is now pinned to an other fellow. Of course, this indi cates that she is fickle; however, if she had dated only Randolph it would have indicated that she was out to hook him. So, the girl would have displeased Randolph in any event You "Men" like to think that you are making the choice. So, girls, line up so those "Gods" can look you over. They're shopping for a bi-monthly date and ""fun," you know. Their stock judging experience should come in handy. Each of you 99 per cent think you're "God's gift to women." You've climbed upon pedastals so high that they're becoming top heavy starting to topple. So (as might be expected) on you descent you're striking out at "the girls." Randolph, you're breaking my nean! Excuse this female's insolence in recognizing your manly purge with an answer other than on my knees moaning "Allah, Allah.' Breta Garbo (I want to be alone.)

Speaking of the Ag Union, the activities com mittee over there is planning to take an All-Ag poll to determine what the students want from their Union in the futJre and some criticism will be asked about the Union as it is now.

So get your ducats now from any Block and Bridle club member. Now, a word about the proposed Ag Council; a subject which takes precedent over many other things (even women) in bull sessions around the campus. It seems to me that Dr. Rhoad present ed the plan in a very feasable manner last week and if this type of government could came to Ag campus it would improve the situation some what. Just think It over wouldn't it be great if one central group out here could sponsor such tra ditional things as Coil-Agri-Fun, Farmers' Fair and others? Take Farmer's Fair for instance. If this function could be sponsored by an All-Ag group such as the proposed Council would be, it would give every Ag "citizen" a chance to par- Union Plans Free Dance on Friday Who says the University is al ways demanding money?

A new act has been substituted for Jim and Rita Murphy, who were originally going to do trick Tiding for the show. The Murphy duo could Hot participate due to a leg injury. In their places the Block and Bridle club has contacted Johnny Rivers from Omaha. Johnny lias a trick Tiding act, a roping act and a "High Schooled" pony act to put on for the crowd at the state fair grounds coliseum. what I think we need on this campus is a mighty spirit-builder that will make the Aggies conscious of every event that takes place here. The records and Alums tell that such a spirit once existed here on Ag and this is a chance to build that up again. Why, in the past, when this spirit existed, there was no lawn problem. The Ag students would merely dunk any lawn-walker in a convenient horse tank! JJvl (Daily Tleiha&huv Member Intercollegiate Press FOXTl -EIGHTH fcEAB mi Publication.
