I PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Tuesday, March 13, 19511 EDITORIAL COMMENT The 'Loophole 9 Plan . t Amid Daily Nebraskan "accusations" and Stu Hent Council "proposals" is heard this declaration: 'Independent will organize if there is some need." Well, now there is a need that of Council rep resentation. The Independents have been told they will not be represented on the Council next year unless there is some definite organization behind the representative. As it stands now, Under the council's "loophole" plan, an independent resident of the men's dorms is assured a place on the Council. This is subject to change, however, unless a delegate from the dorm appears before Council to plead his case. The loophole also allows for a representative from an Independent organization andor the men's cooperative houses. The opinion of the Council now seems to be the one getting there "fastest With the mostest" will be awarded a representative. From all outward indications, the co-op houses , Will hasten to organize and win the race. ISA shows signs of coming back to life but the Council isn't banking on it. Nowhere in the pro posed constitution is ISA specifically mentioned. What will happen if the co-op houses organize and have an elected named to the Council? When he appeared before the Council Wednesday, No lan Jones, speaking for the cooperatives, ex pressed the general disapproval of ISA. He said, "The way ISA is now set up, it does not appeal to Independent men." If the co-op houses get a representative, he will be obligated only to a group of men in five or six organized cooperatives. This delegate and the men's dorm delegate will rep resent only those Independent men living on the campus. What will happen to the Independent man living off the campus and not associated with a co-op? Is he to be snubbed? Doesn't he deserve to be represented? If ISA or some comparable organization comes to life and nets a representative, then what will happen? More than likely the men's co-ops would not offer their support and therefore not have a voice on the Council. Does either of these plans give the Independent man the type of represen tation he deserves? The Council has done its part. It has been satisfied the Independent merits Council mem bership and has left the way open for ample rep resentation. From here on it is up to the unaffil iated student himself. Will the Independents con tinue to be weakened by the split in their group? Or will he organize his forces into a strong ener getic group with firm convictions and a forceful program which includes more than Saturday night dances at the Union? j.w. High Frequency . By Art Epstien Last Friday I was fortunate to meet Stan Kenton's combination press agent, public release per son and secretary. Naturally the main part of our conversa tion was about Stan's progres sive jazz. We also discussed the "longhair" music. It seems that the theory o . . lu.. the neonle of f the progres sive clique is that if you are forced to listen to something ("long hair" music), you will have to like it. 11 me moa- g prorres- i -J-i 1 q ?! 1 - . I Signing Lives Aaway? Last week, the Rag's "Candid Reporter" set out on a weekly assignment to pull some funny gag and see what student reaction to it would be. The Daily Nebraskan staff wrote a "peace" peti tion addressed to the Student Council. The peti tion contained a proposal to bring 500 students from behind the Iron Curtain to study at the University. It also stated that the signer of the petition would help pay the expenses of these 500 students. The results were amazing. Instead of the amusing answers she expected, the "Candjd Reporter" found that people were willing to sign with hardly a question. Only one of the 12 people to whom she talked refused to sign the petition. One signed the petition while asking the reporter for a date. Just like that. What matter if he was signing a peace petition in which he promised to help support 500 Russian students. The date was more important. What a field day the circulators of the "Stock- ' holm Peace Petition" would have had on this campus! No wonder, 2,000,000 American signa tures appeared on the petition. Americans are too trusting. Not that we are suggesting that communists are standing behind each post or tree ready to pounce on the unsus pecting victim. But Americans have a faculty for glibly signing anything without reading it. A Grand Island newspaperman got 39 citizens to sign a petition in which one of the provisions was that the signee should be hanged by the neck until dead. Americans have a duty, to know what is going on. Communism's greatest danger lies not in its open forums, but in the twisted and subtle methods which its backers may use. Its danger lies in its unseen forms. And communists are masters at undercover activities. Witness how they took over the eastern European countries. Witness the surprise attack on Korea Jest summer. How many American lives have been lost because of this lsnake in the grass." Watch out what you sign. You may regret it.-t.r. j Many Benefits in Attending University, Education Is Least By Rod Rigrgfs Recently John A, a sophomore, was dismissed. He had been picked up by Lincoln police for driving while intoxicated. When this information was relayed batik to the campus, he was sum marily dismissed, This brought a howl of protest from both John and his parents. "You can't fairly dismiss a stu dent from school for what happened outside school time and off campus!" Ah, but we can and have and will again. You see, it's not exactly fair if this sort of thing: is not done. Just try, for example, to ret a Job from a man who has seen a "grin-crazed col lege boy" wandering around the streets. Peo ple have a low enough opinion of oHege students without the administration apparently condoning their actions by letting them stay in school. "But," you protest, "everyone in Lincoln is out to gouge the college students anyway." Use your head. There must be a reason for this. Down through the years, the citizens of any college town have had plenty of reason to stab the students any time they got the chance. It is up to us to clean up our own house. Down, through the years, students and educa tors have always had the customary respect of the masses. They were smarter. Everyone admitted it, most of all those who got this respect. But then what happened? Some of these underprivileged' persons refused to assume the responsibility that comes along with this respect. They may have been smart men tally, but flunked out morally. Gradually then, this attitude became more and more evident And people, no matter how stupid they are, catch on eventually. You can only get away with this for so long. "So What?" you ask. Well if the educators and the educated are to remain "privileged" in the eyes of the public, they must submit themselves to certain restrictions. The University should and must have these regulations, and maybe more. There are many benefits to attendance at a University, education being the least of them. There have to be some compensating restrictions. ern alv m m a I A was two hun- Epstien dred years old, the mere fact of are would put it in the realm of "rood" music. Of course, the argu ment is that that type of music will never live for two hun .dred years. The opposition ar rues that modern prorressive music will not even last twenty years. The only trouble with that statement is that we will never know Just how lonr pro gressive music will last. However, there is one thing that we do know. It is an estab lished fact that if something is pounded into your brain day in and day out, you are bound to accept the fact. So it is with the music of the masters. As the years roll by, classical music be comes older, and more people are forced to listen to it. It is a pleasure to think that' people of the modern world which we live in today can choose the mu sic that they wish to hear. And whether music majors want to admit it or not, more and more people are switching to the more modern progressive music of such great men as Stan Kenton. "2000 Years of Music," a con cise history of the development of music from the earliest times through the 18th century is a record album that has been compiled by Dr. Curt Sachs. Dr. Sachs is recognized as one of the most eminent musicologists of our times. He has studied un der some of the greatest profes sors of music that Europe has to offer. At the present time he is musical consultant for the New York Library. i This album not only has an explanation about the music of old, but also refrains from the music that the album discusses. Examples of some of the music includes that of the ancient Greeks, Jewish music, the Grego rian chant, and the Troubadours. As time progresses, more and better musical instruments were added to the history of music. These types of music included the Operas, the German Motet and Chamber Music. For enjoy able listening of the history of music I highly recommend this album. From Fred Barton's book, "Music As A Hobby" (Harper) the experts say that if you en joy, or pretend to enjoy, and that is the trouble with a num ber of people who say that they enjoy classical music, they on ly pretend to enjoy it.

SNEAK PREVIW1 plus ccsZEnr 'Jimmy9 Welcomes Friendly Help; Resents Pitying Attitude of Some .By Jerry Bailey , Chances are that you've seen him along the street sometime, the slight young man In gray. He walks slowly, with head cocked a little to the side as he listens intently. His eyes are wide open but they see nothing. You know that James Scanlon is blind. Yoa have perhaps seen htm with a cigarette nd a cap of coffee tn Dirty Earl's .or maybe listen ing to records in the Union music room or may be even sipping a beer downtown once In a while. He needs no white cane or seeing-eye dog to get around Lincoln. The young student walks a good jnany streets, from "O" to the campus area. Prob ably most of the time he doesn't need the helpful person who bustles up to help him across the street. "Sometimes I like to have help," says Scanlon. Most of the time he says, 41 wish they'd leave me lone." There seems to be something Immediate and In stinctive In the way he reacts to offers of help. Outwardly he Is polite to all, but inside he may be resentful. As a rule he prefers helpful women, for there seems to be something gracious and nat ural about the way they give aid. He reacts un favorably to men who approach, brusk and self conscious, offering to help him across the street s By Phyllis Long The campus became a huge ob stacle course and students de veloped sore muscles from try ing to retain an upright position Monday morning.

And have you seen the many who, meeting him for the first time, stand and gawk after him? Or did you see it the time that he was crossing the street alone and a car sped past him, with horn blatting, miming him by inches? People can be such stinkers. Jim.
