Pep Rally

By GEORGE M01XR
Staff Writer
Attempts by fraternity rivals to
tear down each other's banners
led to trouble Friday night at the
traditional pre-g i.Tie pep rally.
Several students were injured, st
least two senoufjy, and damage
to fraternity banners and Nebras
ka spirit was wholesale.
A .cross section of interviews
with men in some of the bouses
involved showed a general con
cern over the situation.
Dan Tolman, president of Sig
ma Chi, said, "We feel that the
situation did get out of band the
other eight. We don't lenow what
could be done about it but a truce
should be arranged.'
Tom Phelps, Sigma So. staled.
We took do part in this rally. I
know last week we g fa a little
trouble with the banner so we dhdnl
go oat st all. We hope that the
fraternities can get together on
this, because it is no way to pr
Kjote pea.
Os of the injured men, Dennis
Slack, of Kappa Sma said, "I
dont kaow who twut-d it bat il
was bad. We might as well flush
pep rallies if we cant get togeth
er asy better than that."
Stack suffered a brcken band
in a scuffle ia which aa estimated
half dozen men were beaten. Er
rzi Metlyng of Beta S:ma Psi
spent two days in &e Student
Health Center rerjperaiir.g from
a concussion.
M4lyg said, "I dont know who
A was. There was a lot of f.jghlag
and they just fcjt me. I wikh they
would cxp trjuil to tear up c.t
baaDers.'
Three university students from
Palestine took issue with a lec
jturer on campus Friday, claiming
misleading impressions of Moslem
and Arab relationships with the
VS.
The three objected when the
meeting was not opened to dis
cussion following what they
termed a highly controversial
speech on the North African prob
lem by Dr. Ian Forbes Fraser, di
rector of the American library in
Paris.
Dr. Fraser addressed approxi
mately 150 students and faculty
members at a Romance language
meeting Friday morning at Love
Memorial Library. Last month Dr.
Fraser toured Algeria on an offi
cial visit for the French govern
ment. In his speech be emphasized the
threat of Communism in North
Africa and stated "about one-half
of the rebel bands in Algeria are
infiltrated by or commanded by
Communists."
Following bis speech the Pales
tine youths raised their objections,
but the speaker, because of time
limitations, left the floor. The
three then voiced their opinions
before the audience.
One student, Hussein Elmosa
said .the doctor left false impres
sions concerning relationship be
tween Islam religion and Com
munism, which Elmosa said art
basically opposite.
Another student, Abdul Rahaim,
pointed out Moslem nations defi
nitely are pro-U.S. He added that
"Turkey, a Mohammedan nation,
is one of the best friends of the
U.S.; Pakistan, a nation of 80,000,
000 has prohibited the Communirt
party; that Iraq has banned the
Communists and that many other
Mohammedan cations have &om
the same."
"If Dr. Fraser is concerned
about the VS. being careful about
Arab nations because of commu
nist infiltration" Bahim said, "he
should be more worried about
France a country of which about
one-half of the members of Parlia
ment are avowed Communists."
Boyd G. Carter, Professor of Ro
mance Languages, was awarded
the French government decora
tion Palsm Academioues "officer
de 1' instruction publique' for bis
outstandirg work as an educator
in French and bis work ia puo
