The City Planning Commission has re
ceived a preview of possible city con
nection routes to the Interstate Highway
which will be built north of Lincoln
proper and the University. The main
plan calls for the routes to pass by the
east and west edges of the University
campus. And as it looks now, no matter
what route is finally decided on the
campus will be caught in one of the
biggest traffic squeezes known to a
school when the insterstate is finally
opened for traffic.
As stated, this isn't a definite plan
but 10th street and 17th street along with
R were mentioned so frequently in a
report of the proposal that traffic-wise
it doesn't look too hopeful for the Uni
versity. There is, however, one spark of
hope that something of the campus can
be saved. This gleam of hope was con
tained in a comment that the University
officials hope to eventually close 14th,
16th and 17th to traffic through the cam
pus. Such a step would be one of the
How To Pay?
In the middle of a recession period no
body cares to hear talk about more taxes.
The usual words people are waiting to
hear are "tax cuts," "increased relief"
or "easy credit." Nebraskans, however,
aren't escaping this "more tax" talk.
A concerted drive is being made by the
Nebraska Tax Equity Council to see that
more money drivels into the state's
coffers. The way they propose to do this
is through a broadened tax base that
will enable the state to use a sales or
income tax to obtain revenue. One of
these, or a combination of them, would
be used to replace or supplement the
present property tax the only sizeable
means of income Nebraska now has.
The tax council had hoped for support
from the Nebraska PTA organization
when it met in Lincoln this week. But
thanks to a well organized delegation
from Omaha a group which would nat
urally be strongly affected by a sales or
income tax state PTA won't be giving
this support.
The Nebraskan has previously favored
a broadened tax base and continues U
do so. The state's system of obtaining
revenue is perhaps the most incongruous
system in the nation. It is certainly the
most limited.
The University of Nebraska is con
tinually reminded of the shortage of
state funds. Everytime budget approval
wrangles begin, the University officials
must sit back and watch hoped-for ap
propriations be whacked off as lace
fringes not needed by a state university.
The shame is that often these whacked
off items aren't fringes, but badly
needed funds. As long as large delega
tions like the Omaha PTA continue to
hamper the work of outstate delegations
to improve the state's income and thus
improve the University's chances to get
these needed funds, Nebraska will be
hopping along like a true farm state of
the middle ages. It's nice to be a person
from a state known as the place "where
folks are friendly," but it's not good to
come from a state where 1-room school
houses and other poor excuses for edu
cation facilities are common place.
It's time that the Omaha PTA wakes
-up and looks beyond the Omaha city
limits. And it's time that Nebraskans
throughout the rest of the state unite to
produce something more than a wooden
school house state. We've left behind
the wooden plow. Let the wooden school
house go next.

When the word about a student tri
bunal got around, some students were up
in arms over the idea that pawns of the
administration would run for and be
elected by the council to the tribunal
jobs.
That may well enough
be true. But it can only
be true when the student
body allows it to be. So1
it wouldn't be a bad idea1
after vou pet a look at.

make a little noise with!

And if you see some Shugrue
character applying for
the tribunal who you don't think will act
judiciously, objectively and what have
you, then let your representatives know
what you think about the idea.
What with council elections coming up,
they might, for a change, pay attention
to what the students have to say. You
know, politicians all the way from the
national ones right on down to the cam
pus ones are pretty glad-handed this
time of the year.
I might add that it won't do any good"
to talk with the junior members of the
council. That body is one of the self-appointed,
self-perpetuated groups which
has the power to turn on and off other
organizations but seems to turn a deaf
ear to charges of "unfair" processes
within its own ranks.
However, I've heard that legislative
bodies sometimes feel they don't have to
live by the rules they have set up. After
all, they've made them so why can't
they break them?
It's time to talk a little politics.
Have you registered to vote? If not,
fet on the stick before it's too late. The
registration office (the election com
'missioner's) didn't have much going on
the day I dropped in to take the oath
and sign my life away to the party of
my choice (one guess what that is). So,
as honest tax-payers we ought to give
those public servants something to do
just to keep them out of mischief.
News Item: The young GOP contingent
is off to the races at Indianapolis or
somewhere. There they will be told to
toe conservative and prove there's no
need for a change.
There they'll probably be told that
everything's o k. and Ike is a great guy
and Dick is a fine fellow who likes to
have his picture taken with young ladies
from the Midwest. They'll get the in
side information on Ike's route to Get
tysburg and the latest scoop on the ADA.
Oh! There's something I knew I
wanted to talk about. In the Lincoln Star
the other morning there was an article
noting that a Republican "information"
group had blasted the Americans for
Democratic Action as a group support
ing "creeping socialism." Outlandish at
tacks were made against the group, com
posed of liberal Democrats (who have
no official connection with the party.)
The article went on to say that the Re
publican party would not be responsible
for what was .said despite the fact that
the book was supervised by a big-wig
GOP group. Then the buck passing went
to the most incredible extreme by re
lating that a prominent Republican sen
ator was a wheel in the publication of
the "campaign issues" booklet.
I suggest that if the Republicans want
to do any muckraking they should at
least have the courage to say, "Yes, we
said it."
Yet, somehow, I didn't expect that the
party in general would admit they had
gotten their hands dirty.

"biggest shots in the arm that the school
could receive.
The University doesn't really have a
lot of room in which to expand in future
years. With the interstate access routes
wrapping a tight web of traffic around
the campus it will have less and less
expansion area. The fact is that the
campus is in the wrong place, jumbled
almost in the midst of a business shop
ping district. It's a multitude of years
too late though to even consider moving
the campus, so the administration along
with city and state officials should co
operate to make the best of a bad situ
ation. In this case, to close off traffic
as quickly as possible through the cam
pus, and to reconsider other proposed
access routes to see if one more distant
from the east edge of the campus
wouldn't be as acceptable when con
sidered in the long run; that is, that the
University of Nebraska may be ex
pected to do a lot of growing along with
the rest of the state.

keen analysis of some of the
world's more earth shaking
news items. These are the
events that have crammed the
space of our newspapers, filled
our weekly magazines, and
have been on the tongue of
every commentator. These are
the events that shape our lives

these are the events of the
20th century.
Princess M .rgaret, one of
the more obsure members of
the British royal family, is at

tete-a-tete lasted for not less
than two and one-half hoin .
Although the whole thin;,' i

in the near fuiure io try to
alleviate the situation. If all
else fails, the Prime Minister
will probably dissolve Parlia

will undoubtedly follow, for
such state emergencies can
hardly be relagated to t h e
social columns.
And never before has a hair
cut caused such a stir! But
not only have the LP's care
fully combed locks been
chopped, but his guitar has
been unstrung and his quiv
ering is now in cadence !
Will American womandom
stand for this? I predict they
will not! Not less than 3 or
9 million righteously frenzied
females will storm the gates
of Camp Chaffee, Arkanss,
in protest.
And for those of you who

But the biggest' story of the
year is at Yale. The Ivy
League has been steadily un
dermined by the acceptance
of female undergraduates, and
now Yale has fallen.
Smith and Vassar girls
are go.ng to be invited to
study with the men of Yale!
Within 24 hours of the an
nouncement. 10 Vassarites had
already applied for admission
to what used to be one of
the really fine all-male
schools. But with the admis
sion of co-eds, Vassaah, Suh
mith or what ever, the de
mise of Yale has started.
Soon it will be relegated to
the ranks of a marriage bu
reau for husband hunt
ing women too. Oh, the shame
of it all!
And somebody is sure to
say, ",Why, this guy hates
women."
I don't. I don't! I DON'T!
As a matter of fact, I like
'em. I think they're a great
institution. They're irreplace
able, and that's the whole
trouble. With girls running
running around a campus how
can anyone concentrate on
schooling. Yale used to be
a school of learning, but now
it too will be a place where
the major interest is physiques
not physics.
And I don't advocate kick
ing the fairer sex out of in
stitutions of higher learning. I
don't advocate kicking them
out of' Nebraska either. In
fact, I advo"atr bringing more
gals to old NU. Afterall, if

The following society story
was printed in the March 28
issue of the Sidney Telegraph
at Sidney. The headline read:
"Beach Party Given By So
rority Chapter Here." The
story read:
"Getting in just ahead of
today's spring snowstorm,
members of Alpha Iota chap
ter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha
sorority had a beach party
last night at the home of
Mrs. James Bricker.
"Chapter members and
their guests, Mrs. Jerry Hile,
Mrs. Marsha Rogers, Miss
June Ray, Mrs. Rex Kinney
and Mrs. Robert Reckard,
were dressed for un-dressed,
according to choice) in cos
tumes appropriate to. the oc
casion. "The time was spent play
ing games and cards with
prizes won by Mrs. Virgil
Reed, Mrs. Keith Kaylor,
Mrs. Hile and Miss Donna
Hagemeister." -
And the Falls City Journal
reported how instead of the
church going to the birds, as
it is sometimes complained,
birds were going to church:
"Members and friend of
First Christian Church, Falls
City, are being asked to
bring their canary birds to
church Sunday, so that their
melodies will add to the Palm
Sunday service.
"This is the third year that
the church has had this serv
ice of singing birds on Palm
Sunday. When the music of
the canaries is added to that
of the organ, choir and con
gregation, the result can only
be described as heavenly, ac
cording to those who attended
the two previously services."

No Man Is An Island
"And Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your
God with , all your heart, and with all your soul, and with
all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.
And a second is like unto it, You shall love your neighbor
as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the
law and the prophets."
We have read or listened to
these words many timer and
in many places, but the full
implications of them are
scarcely understood if to un
derstand means to do. What
does it mean to love God and
to love our neighbor?
The word "love" is laden
with many meanings in our
world. We love food, love to
listen to music, love our fam
ily, love a certain boy or girl,
love our country. Is love in
tended only for those things
which we also like? Or does
love in its deepest sense
mean something much great
er? Ix)ve for God and love for
our neighbor means accept
ing, forgiving, sacrificing, and
caring for the loveable and
unloveable, the near and the
distant, all people in all
places as children of God.
Gandhi said, "God sits in the
man opposite me; therefore
to injure him is to Injure God
himself."
You may say, "Why of
course. This is what I've
thought all the time. You're
not telling me anything new."
But just what does this mean
to you, here and now? If you
really believe that this must
be the rule by which you live,
then:
No student should leave this
campus with an unutterable
sense of loneliness after a
few weeks or after 4 years at
the University.
Students of racial or nation
al backgrounds which differ
from the majority should not
feel uncomfortable in groups
outside their own.
Conformity in social behav
ior cannot be forced upon
anyone without regard for in
dividual standards a force
which is often informal and
almost unconscious or unrec
ognized. ,
Criticism of groups, insti
tutions, and administrators
cannot be lightly given with
out sincere attempts to see
other points of view and un
derstand them.
Students cannot say,
"There just isn't time to keep
up with the news. The world
could fall apart and we
wouldn't know about it for 2
weeks." And then follow the
comic pages in the paper with
out fail, or switch the radio
dial to music whenever the
news comes on.
Students cannot be indif
ferent to suffering, Injustice,
immorality, or government by
default on the campus or in
the world.
You say, "But if they only
knew the real me that I do
think and care and want to
do what's right." What is the
real you? What you are is
what you will become. If it is
real, it is to be lived. If love
for God and love for neigh
bor is to have any meaning,
it must come alive for each
of us. This is a command
from which we cannot hide
and from which there is no
excuse.

There is considerable talk
that there is no difference be
tween the Democratic and Re
publican parties. Though this
is not true, it is a fact that
many people
do not realize
the basic dif
ferences be
tween the
two parties.
Though I a
by no means
an expert on
this topic
(who is?), I
believe these
are the basic
differences between the phil
osophy of a Democrat and a
Republican:
The Democrat:
feels that centralized pow
er is necessary, that the major
ity of things can be done best
by the federal government.
believes that enterprise
should be pce-1 under close
government reulation and ma
nipulation. thinks that labor is at a
disadvantage in dealing with
management and that govern
ment should help labor.
asks that government
control the economy through
price, wage and materi
als controls and price parity
programs.
supports the opinion that
government rather than indi
vidual and private activities
should attempt to remedy so
cial proglems.
wants the governmertt to
create a new economic order,
asserts that the legislative
and judicial branches of the
By Doc Rodgers
government should be subor
dinated to the central execu
tive. believes an effort should
be made to get away from
the traditional, that the bur
den of proof lies on the op
position to prive no change is
necessary.
Conversely, the Republican:
Agrees that "he is best
governed who is least gov
erned" and asks for decen
