Editorial Comment
Council Spanked
For Goofy Tactics
We've looked forward to the day when
the University's Student Tribunal would
get into operation and take over the
responsibilities which it should in ad
ministering justice.
We've looked with awe at the work the
Student Council Tribunal Committee has
done in compiling mounds of information
regarding tribunals in colleges all over
the land and developing a tribunal
charter which the University can be
proud of.
We've looked with expectation to the
day the council would make the selec
tions of the judges and announce to the
University, to the city, to the state as
quickly as possible, that they've moved
toward a greater form of student self
government.
We've been looking In the wrong direc
tion. For the student council has pulled
a Washington Whale of a trick on os and
refused to say who the senior members
f the Tribunal are.
The only name available came from
the office of the Chancellor who has been
a supporter of the Tribunal and who
must have felt, as we do, that the initial
effect of the Tribunal comes when the
initial step is taken. Simply, old news is
no news. Expectation, hush-hush antici
pation, secret meetings all remind us of
the days of intrigue and we thought they
had left
Here we have a tribunal charter which
we can be proud of. And here we have
the council spoiling things by clamming
op when it comes to letting the students
know who will judge them. This reminds
us of the blindfolded statute of Justice
only in reserve. In this case the students
are blindfolded and told to wait so that
a calculated effect can be given to the
announcement
We are happy that the Tribunal will
have the say-so about how it operates
when it gets on its feet
If the council had its way with the
Tribunal, there would be closed meet
ings, hush-hush decisions and a total
lack of respect for the right to know.
Students deserve to know who is on the"
Tribunal. They deserve to know who the
council has deemed worthy of one of the
greatest honors and responsibilities
which could be bestowed on a student
that of the position to be in judgment on
a fellow student
From the Editor
private opinion
What will come of the complaints by
two commercial pilots that stunting Air
Force jet endangered their airliners
over Nevada less than 8 hours after an
aerial collision that killed 49 persons?
Congressmen immediately urged in
vestigation into rules governing the use
of air space by military planes.
Probably some watered-down excuse
will be made by the USAF and the com
mercial pilots will go shrugging their
shoulders back to their hangars.
Isn't this the way it always happens?
i mean aoesn t the Air
Force (or the Navy or
the Army) usually find
some good excuse for
their antics which will
asuage the anger of the
congressmen and hor
rify the folks back
-home?
What the air men who
stunt over heavily popu
lated areas need is to
be sent back to ROTC
and told to fly professors all over the
country in government planes at tax
payers expense. No stunting there. Just
plenty of excuses why it's important to
indoctrinate the profs with the greatness
of the USAF.
Here we have placed the responsibility

respect for the people-laden civilian

wrong here?

to America servicemen stationed in their
homelands.
I suspect they won't pull any punches
when speaking of the servicemen when
they get here.
It will be enlightening to see ourselves
as others see us.
Plenty of visitors on the campus this
week-end. First of all there have been
hundreds of thundering high-schoolers
looking for adventure in E-Week.
Now today high school students inter
ested in the fine arts will visit the cam
pus to participate in the State's Fine
Arts Festival.
I'm wondering what arrangements this
University makes for hosting these visit
ing firemen who come to get a first
glance at students in the state's high
schools.
I would guess that Builders arranges
tours of the campus for those who want
them.
And if they don't they should. One pro
fessor was telling me Thursday of how
Northwestern University has a commit
tee set up from which college students
meet and are responsible for high school
ers who want a look at their campus.
Even as small a number as two can get
the royal treatment
I doubt that this courtesy is extended
to anyone less than a prospective foot
ball player around here. If I'm wrong,
then I bow to correction. But if I'm right,
I think it's about time we start thinking
of catering to those young people who'd
like to make the University their home
for four years.
High schools in the state should be
grateful to the Greeks on campus who
take time out to be good hosts to pro
spective NU students.

There is only one reason that student
council members have refused to release
the names of the Tribunal members.
That is to make the joint announce
ment "more effective" (in the words of
the council president.)
That's like refusing to release the
name of a United States Senator newly
elected by the people in the state until
the results of the Governor's election
come in.
That analogy isn't really far fetched.
Here we have the important job of four
Tribunal judges voted upon and sat upon
by apparently publicity conscious coun
cil members.
Here too, we have a council which
doesn't believe the students have a right
to know what qualifications of the judges
are important. The Daily Nebraskan was
smartly dismissed from the council
chamber when the debate over judges
came op. "Standard procedure," piped
np the council president. "Bunk," pipes
up the Daily Nebraskan.
If the readers of this newspaper can't
know the how and who and why of Tri
bunal elections immediately, then some
thing is wrong with the council.
If the council's constituents can't be
told who was selected to fill the senior
benches because "politics" might creep
in to next week's elections, then obvious
ly the council has no faith in the students
and conversely the students should have
no faith in the council.
Once again, the Daily Nebraskan be
lieves strongly in the Student Tribunal
and agrees with the Division of Student
Affairs that it can be a great force to
ward the independence of the student.
We have our serious doabts, however,
to the methods the council is reverting
to in suppressing the most important
news on the campus this year until its
convenient for it to release the names.
We stand by the student's right to
know.
We thank the Chancellor for releasing
the name of the faculty judge as soon as
we asked for it.
We hope the council will be exercising
more judgment in its selection ef the
Tribunal judges than it is in handling
the public relations involved in those
elections.

Objections Sustained

A Few Words Of A Kind
by
e. e.

Somehow, regardless of my
well regulated life, I have
managed to procure a cold.
And I might say that none of
you look the same to me now
through these r
two cat-green 2
eyes that car- H
ry visual re- 1 "
to my i 4
racked
'J
:5 U
ports
pam
body.
But it's not
only you that
doesn't look
the same
either, and
neither do e.e.
mud puddles, - coffee cups,
paper, class desks, door
knobs or money "All of
them are covered with germs
and cold causing bacteria or
viruses," I think.
So in the midst of my pain
I blurted out an axiom that
will live at least through the
noon hour. I proclaimed "Ev
eryone's an idealist until he
gets a splinter in his hand."
The cold, you see, just in
case you haven't tussled with
symbolic poets or authors, is
my splinter in the hand.
And now I begin to under
stand and what folks mean
when they say that our civil
ization hasn't really pro
gressed much in the last 4 or
5 centuries.
From 5 or 6 different kinds
of pills I have supposedly had
relief in at least 20 different
ways and still I don't feel a
bit better. The only conclusion
I am able to draw is that my
cold is some incurable malady
picked up from an imported
banana peel, or tnat those
claims for miraculous relief
are a beautiful example of
deceitful advertising.
This, however, is a society
in which the advertiser is
above reproach, so 1 can only
say that I have slipped on a
banana peel.
And let me tell you that
you're all an unsympathetic
group. I stumble in to the Uni
on, or class, or the Beta
house or the Rag office look
ing as sorrowful and diseased
as my high school dramatics
course has made possible and
what happens?
Well, someone asks,
"What's wrong?"
I cough and choke a couple
of times. "Cold," I wheeze
and then blow my nose.
Do I get sympathy? No.
Everyone I meet says,
"I don't feel good either."
I Letterip
Steve Shultz and the staff
of "Scrip" are to be com
mended for an excellent lit
erary publication showing true
literary merit among campus
writers.
This sort of project should
have been started years ago,
though, as a lantern to beckon
campus writers to strive for
literary merit and taste. C.K.
Then he or she goes into a
long winded tirade of his or
her particular ill or illnesses
(I've found it's a very unsafe
and unhealthy world in which
to live.) until I start shedding
tears for the poor youngster.
All that's then left for me to
do is stumble off and feel
sorry for myself and think,
"What a world of unsym
pathetic hypochondriacs."
I note that the number of
chartered buses around cam
pus grows greater every day.

(And I must say that I enjoy
being looked upon as anyone's
superior.)
If you want to advertise the
University and assure that all
these babes in the woods will
come out of the woods to
spend their undergraduate
days at NU, you will follow
the course I am taking. Don't
shave, don't shower, and wear
your oldest and least shined
shoes.
The high schoolers aren't
looking for education; they
want a carefree devil-may-care
joie de vivre for which
collegians are famous. You
owe it to your school to show
them how joie your vivre can
be.
All those who knelt beside
my bed of pain last week and
hoped for my speedy recovery
from the ailment which so
cruelly squelched my youthful
.high spirits have been hoping
Pensive Patter
that I will write a column ex
posing Student Health. I
won't. After all, one owes
something to an institution
which provided him with a
solid week of sleep disturbed
only by periodic temperature
takings.
I want somehow to become
unaccustomedly humble and
to thank the University for its
support of Scrip, the little lit
erary magazine the English
department published last
week. You would be surprised
how many people can spare a
quarter for this sort of thing.
My most modest thanks to the
students, the faculty, and to
our contributors.
Just one other thing. The
Rag editorial and thank you
for the good words. Brother
Shugrue said that a second
issue depended in part on the
availability of worthwhile ma
terial. Actually (this is not a
publicity blurb t there isn't
any shortage of well done
writing on this campus.
A few of those who chronic
ally underrate the literacy of
their average fellow students
may be surprised, but the
quality work done in the Ne
braska ivy-covereds is re
markable. We hope we may
have done our bit to quell the
great NU inferiority complex.
Oh goody, in just a week the
Pixie Press will be distributed
by that semi-secret group of
semi-smutty semi-journalists.
We can all hardly wait. This
will do much to make the
semester for semi-smutty
semi-literates.

Last night I decided that I
don't have the mentality to be
cynical. I felt like waving the
bloody flag of some crusade.
This is a wonderful idea "I
may be small but mighty'."
However, when it came to put
ting my bombastic attack on
paper, knowledge was sorely
lacking. Evidently I'm not
on the "inside" of deplorable
University conditions.
Really, when you stop to
think about it, these deplor
able conditions aren't the only
thing to crusade for. On a
cool, rainy night, all I can
think of is more sleep, but
this isn't really important
either.
What is really essential to
college life is attending
classes; laughing in the right
places; staring with pensive,
puckered brow at others;
hustling to meetings; and
in the end, spending frantic
and carefree weekends.
Through all this we earnest
young women of Teachers'
College ply our way to some
day personally face a room
of pensive and puckered young
stares.
Revolt! Shove the men over.
Debate, become a lawyer.
Build bridges! What unlimited
opportunities for a crusade.
Yet, this is like running
around in a circle. Where it
will all end anyway is on a
long night walk past the ivy
twined pillers, and if a full
moon is in the offing, then
what, if anything, is really
important?
I have just joined the ranks
of blind sentimentalists! This
befits a "small, sweet domes
tic animal." But what more
can a girl ask for out of life
than pressing flowers, saving
letters and a walk by the pil
lars? Philosophy at its great
est! 'Speaking of philosophy, now
is the time to write beautifully
philosophic lines late at
night, wrapped up in a blan
ket, pecking - at a battered
typewriter t somehow a new
typewriter doesn't seem wor
thy of such undertaking), and
listening to the rain pound on
the roof. But as the night
grows colder and the rain
beats harder one thought
emerges consistently from the
ramblings will it still be
raining hard enough tomor-
Truell
row morning to require ten
nis shoes and beer hats for
class?
