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

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.

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."

At least one Maroon letter writ
er disagreed. 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."
