DAILY NEBRASKAN" FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1951 PAGE 2 Jefferson's Ideas ... "The influence over government must be shared among all the people. If every individual which composes their mass par ticipates of the ultimate authority, the government will be safe," Thomas Jefferson. Every American who believes in democratic government will readily recognize the wisdom of these words. And the words are not just words that were once uttered and then forgotten. The idea which they express has been adopted and carried out in many ways since the establishment of our na tion. One method of carrying out this idea found in Nebraska is the program of Cornhusker Boys and Girls State. This program annually gives Nebraska high school juniors a week's oppor tunity to study and practice the functions of government. Through this program these students learn how to work with each other in handling the various duties of government and in solving the various problems of government. Thus, both the technical details of operation of a government and the spirit to co-operation neces sary to make a democratic government a success are gained from this program. And what better method of teaching could have been adopted than that of the age old method of learning by doing? The knowledge gained through this program will help give these students ah opportunity to become future leaders of our gov ernments. And if they do not become leaders then certainly they will be better prepared to cast an "intelligent" ballot. Every citizen of our state and nation should thank those persons who conceived the idea of this program. Thanks should also be given to those who, by their tireless efforts, have made this program a success. Few persons realize the numerous small details and endless jobs that must be handled to make a program such ai this a success. But with persons ever willing to make opportunities such as this available there should be no fear that "influence over government" will not be "shared among all the people." It's Your Rag . . . This is the first issue of your summer Daily Nebraskan. Dur ing the summer session, your RAG will be published once a week, every Friday, for six weeks. The Daily Nebraskan is a student operated newspaper, and though we may strive for perfection, it is doubtful that perfec tion will be obtained. The "Letterip" column is the place for you to air your pet peeves, gripes, praises, or whatever you have, but the letters must be signed. Our columns are always open to any who wish to write. Editorial columns are clearly defined as such, and such col umns represent the opinions of the writer, and not necessarily those of the rest of the staff, or of the school. We hope that you will like the summer RAG, and we hope that you will bring complaints that you may have to the RAG office in the Student Union. This will help us to give you the type of a newspaper you want. Suffering Liberties . . . There is more in a cold war than the danger of international tension or an outbreak. Some of our liberties are suffering. We in college have seen this happening for some time. The New York Times recently printed a verification that it was hap pening at many colleges in the nation. We have suffered home front casualties already in the , con flict with Russia. These home front casualties are freedom of thought and freedom of speech. Although they may not be fa talities, they are casualties which are serious. The dread of being labeled a "Communist" has put a re straint on class discussions and on lectures. Statements that are ambiguous pose a threat to instructors. They may be accused of teaching red or pink dostrines. We have all heard an instructor say the same thing in two ways to make sure he is not misun derstood. Is this a healthy situation? Will it lead to Joe College discussing campus happenings only? Will it lead to our instructors deleting any personal opinion? If it does if is not a healthy situation. We hope this is a temporary situation like the hatred of the German people during the first world war. That hatred has died and perhaps this will die too. But in the meantime, we will live with hobbles on speech freedom. When the Communists are either corralled or defeated, let's hope that complete freedom returns to our country and our col leges. Freedom of speech must remain on the casualty list, for the minute it is transferred to the fatality list, the results will be drastic.
