1J ill f ;5 J .'2 ' i Paae 2 The Daily Nebraskan Friday, April 5, 1957 Daily Nebraskan Editorials: Darkening Shadow It is not official; no one will say yes or no; it came from "reliable sources"; nothing really definite is known. But in spite of the lack of definite details it looks as though the University's budget will be cut even more than the reduction asked for by Gov. Victor Anderson. This is not a surprise in itself. Those who bad cause to know generally what the Legis lative Budget Committee is planning have been waiting for some time for the committee to cut the overall state budget, and with the cut in- elude a reduction in the University's appropria tion. Still, when the news comes out it is a little discouraging and. a little jolting. The next thing that comes to mind is what to do now with what you do have; what are the chances for perhaps getting a little more when the budget comes before the whole legislature; and the ut terly discouraging thought that maybe it will be cut further. Further cuts in the University's request affect different people in entirely different ways. The Administration will have to decide how to spend what they have, and especially how to keep their staff maintained at least where it is at the present. The student wonders how much of the deficit will have come out of his pocket as a tuition raise. Perhaps he won't be able to come back to school because of it. It is not too late yet, of course. Nothing has been definitely released. But right now things look dark for the University of Nebraska. In the long run this can mean a shadow falling across the entire state as their University starts rolling slowly down hill. ACUtlll Conhh The annual conference of the Association of College and University Residence Halls opened Thursday at the Selleck Quadrangle. The University is hosting the 150 delegates from 11 Midwest colleges and universities in an effort to provide an exchange of ideas for the improvement of programs of the student government organizations in the residence halls of member schools. This conference is the fourth of a series which has helped to shape the present structure and activities of the Residence Association for Men, according to Bob Coruzzi, publicity director of ACURH. While the conference is primarily held for a comparison of notes by student government officers it has proved useful to the administra tors and advisors who accompany student officers. Directors and managers get together and talk over the common problems and solutions that they meet in operating residence halls' food service systems, building maintenance, personnel selection equipment purchasing and other problems. Administrators from member institutions find that they can profit from each other's mistakes and successes just as do the student government officers who compare notes on social programs, scholastic aids to members of student govern ment organizations, student clubs and other activities as well ta intramural athletic systems. The University is fortunate to receive first hand benefit from this year's conference. As the problems discussed in many of the sessions will concern this school directly, rapid solutions by leaders from many places will be developed. The Daily Nebraskan believes that in addition to the hospitality extended by independents and the work done at the conference to make the independents and the work done at the con ference to make the independent way of life a bigger part of the campus, the Greek can benefit from the discussions of the ACRUH's problems. Talks will be held on the fraternity-independent relationship which could and should lessen any barriers set up between the two strong Univer sity ways of life. We can expect a sounder "independent" system to come out of this meeting; we know that all the independents grouped together will be working toward that goal. 'Blah' So we think we're alone in apathy out here in Nebraska? The Ohio State University Lantern worries over a recurrent ailment in the East, too. But they report a new name for it: apathy the blah attitude. Apathy is the latest thing at Ohio State. Whether it's a fad, a disease or the beginning of a trend has been debated by just about every campus activity which is suffering the effects. But it's not just campus activities; students there don't care about national and international matters, studies and just about everything you can name. It's sort of tin I-don't-give-a-damn-about-anything-I-just-want-to-graduate-a n d-g e t-a-job attitude. Nothing new, really. The Lantern philosophizes that it seems to pre vail on other campuses as well. Even Harvard, of all places, seems to be getting on the blah wagon? Mademoiselle maga zine recently carried a story of the editors of the Cambridge Review saying that Harvard was to the students "a search for distractions." That school is (reportedly) a pursuit for pres tige. Michigan State's News commented that MSU students had a "blah" attitude toward life. The reason for the popularity of "blah"? Some blame the large number of vets on campuses, some the administration, some campus com munications. Ohio State speculates that each of these factors may contribute to the general ennui. But we can't help but think that maybe it's something more basic. Maybe we are actually a "silent generation."

IkhndiM) Letterips To the Editor: Typical of the short-sightedness of the administration is the recent appointment of Lee Chatfield as Director of the Junior Division and Counseling Service. . I once re ceived some invaluable help with a personal problem from the last director. It is a deep affront to his memory to see him replaced with an untrained, self-confessed "head-chopper." Further, the last director held the rank of assist ant professor even with his Ph.D. and training in the field. The new one, with an M.A. and little or no training in the field is elevated to the rank of full professor. I fear for the welfare of stu dents who seek help from the Jun ior Division and Counseling Serv ice when a man with his lack of sympathy toward student prob lems is at the head of that organ ization. Any student who has re ceived a "G.I." calling down in his office will understand what I mean. I dare not reveal my name for fear of reprisal. Distraught To the Editor: I resent Mr. Shapiro's statement about college students. I resent more Mr. Shapiro's implication that we should follow an antiquat ed pattern of behavior. Twenty Years ago is not today; we are meeting our problems as best as we know how which is no more or less than what they did twenty or two hundred years ago. We are living in a world of atomic bombs, paganistic thought, communist aggression, long and expensive years of schooling, fast technicological change, large populations, etc. To me it is ridiculous to engage in cultural pursuits which have no bearing on these very real prob lems. I have found that the only way to live in any sort of sanity and with any sort of happiness is to live from day to day doing that which I can and that which is the most important at the mo ment. There is no necessity to look for a fight; it is here. The fact that this fight has not erupted into demonstrations has deceived Mr. Shapiro. To those adults who do not un. derstand or do not appreciate youth I say this: as you control the world now, we shall control it in the future, and treating us as oth er than individuals or people will get you nowhere. Rex Menuey To the Editor: Bravo! Karl Shapiro, may the gods look with favor upon you. At last there has been a brave faculty member in this "cow coun try" institution to appeal the plight of culture. How true it is that the majority of today's students are so apathetic to cultural advance ment and may interject political issues. The main reason for this apathy, that I am able to determine, is that these two forms of activity have no great monetary compen sation; and being that today's world is dominated by the almigh ty dollar, students will stay away from political and cultural activi ty. As for the Midwest being a cul tural desert, I agree. Perhaps it is because Europe is so far away. And Where is Europe? Oh, it is someplace overthere. I have heard there are constant street brawls between the populace and police, and say, isn't that where Gina Lolobrigida comes from? Herbert Von Karajan comes from there too. Who is he? Stanley Bursteln To the Editor! This university has two prob lems which no self-respecting In stitution should allow to exist at the same time. The management complains of a lack of funds, while the students complain of the lack of parking space. Hasn't it occurred to anyone to let one of these problems eliminate the other, by turning a few of these park ing lots into used car tots, and ac cepting tuition payments in the form of automobiles? Or, if this appears a bit drastic, not 1 tNirrtED TO VA HOSPITALIZA TION. , ONLY VETERANS WHO ARE FOUND ELIGIBLE AND IN NEED Of HOSPITALIZATION MAY READMITTED UNDCB THE LAW. f .'ii I..... 7 Pr (all tnlnrm.tlMn rtmrtrt ymur nrarMt VETERANS AbMOUlSATlUM why not accept that figure the gentleman from Scottsbluff sug gested for an increase in tuition, but make' that figure the price of a parking permit instead? This would be fair to the pooer students who do not own automobiles. The rest of us who do own cars could not complain. If we could not af ford a permit, we could not afford a car in the first place. Seriously, don't you thing it would be a good idea to go easy with the editorials about the park ing situation until this talk about raising tuition blows over? You know that once the taxpayers find out that these same students who claim they can't afford a raise in tuition, also own so many automo biles there is no room to park them all, we are going to look mighty ridiculous. Del Johnson Chicago U Papers Won't 'Miss' Again ACP We hope we've got this right. Last month's case of the missing Maroons seems to have confused and upset scores of per sons concerned with freedom of the press andor campus humor. Act I: Editors of the University of Chicago Maroon put out a "gag issue" a few weeks ago that said their gag issue had been confis cated and destroyed by University of Chicago campus police. The masthead read, however, that "you are reading the annual gag issue ... no papers were con fiscated and this issue hasn't a word of truth in it (except the ads.) But some persons believed the issue. The editors related many UC students and faculty were "taken in."

Wrote he to the edi tor: "Instead of polling each other on how well their gag went over, why didn't the editors walk out and use their ears? . . . Most stu dents recognized the "gag" not be cause of mastheads and factual er rors, but because it was so out of character for the present Maroon to have tried anything healthily outrageous . . ." The editors printed in a later issue excerpts from collegiate edi torials around the country some written by editors who were also "taken in," some who "wish we'd thought of it," others who were disgusted gy the whole Little Is sue that Never Was. There was even a letter allegedly from the president of the United States National Student Association asking for a copy of the "contest ed issue" because USNSA was "deeply disturbed" by the "report ed seizure" but felt "it is difficult to evaluate a situation without having in our command as com plete as possible a knowledge of the circumstances surrounding it ACT II: Then, an issue of the Maroon was really "seized." Eighty-five hundred copies of the paper disappeared one Friday morning last month just before they were to be delivered. After some frantic searching, the editors finally thought about it and decided that some members of UC's men's honorary, known for the great sore of "secret" informa tion in its files, must have been the pranksters. The honorary must know where the Maroon is printed, they reasoned. Although the infor mation is not exactly classified, few persons know where the paper goes to press. One of the members did say he would help look. And soon the pa pers were "found" by him in a freight elevator in the administra tion building, about to be delivered to a University vice-president. The papers were distributed at 1:30 p.m. that day, but not before the editor, Ronald Grossman, got a chance to pose prone atop tho bundles, clutching a paper and say ing, "Over my dead body will any body steal another issue of the Maroon."
