! Is II ' 3 . i : ? i ; t ( ( I. 7 i, i- . ,1 4 V Poge 2 Editorial Comment t The Greek Way The Daily Nebraskon Wednesday. September 24, 1953 It is altogether too easy when someone steps out of line to hunt for some label to stick on the person and identify him and the group behind his label as bad. This seems Jo occur often in the case of fra ternity men. If a Greek is arrested for drinking he is usually referred to as the member of such and such a fraternity who got picked up for drinking. The military services face ihe same problem. If a sol dier or airman is arrested for some of fense, the headline comes out "Sailor Ar rested for Car Theft" or "Airman Held in Robbery." The result is that a bad reflec tion is immediately cast on the fraternity, the service or the group to which the guilty individual belongs. An unfair prac tice? Yes, in a way, but still an unavoid able tendency on the part of most human beings, including newspapermen. The Nebraska Interfraternity Council has been criticized frequently this year. In some cases the criticism has been fair, in some it has been unfair. Many of the sound accomplishments of the IFC and the fraternity system have been ignored in the reporting of thrir weaknesses. The Daily Nebraskan, however, would like to make it clear that it feels that the IFC has been steadily improving the University's fraternities. Vandalism and on campus drinking have been reduced drastically in recent years. Also, the Greeks have prac tically eliminated hazing and foolish Hell Week practices. No group is wo: Jng any harder than the IFC to increa e coopera tion among the fraternities on campus and to have the individual houses maintain good social and scholastic standards. Rush week and rushing is an especially thorny problem which the IFC must face and which has resulted in some com plaints. Perhaps the only reason this is true is that the IFC has tried to enforce rules which are unenforceable. If a fra ternity rushes a man all summer it seems somewhat unreasonable for the fraternity to be told that it is not to contact this prospective pledge anytime during rush week except the open house and scheduled party periods. Rush week is the only time when a rushee gets a real chance to see most of a fraternity's members and he certainly doesn't have much of a chance to get to know them during half an hour at one fraternity and a later party which lasts only an hour or two. Perhaps a more "open" program is not the answer to improving rush week. Per haps it needs no improving. The Nebras kan is certain of one thing, the IFC lead ers are sincerely interested in continually upgrading the local Greeks and w ith such ambitions mot e good is certain to come. As for any 1 -ge scale investigations of the system, this seems unnecessary. The quality of men the fraternities pledged this year is certainly as high scholastical ly as any it has ever boasted. The fratern ity spirit is also as high as it has been in several years. Some houses did not get as many pledges as they would have liked, but every year is not a boom year for business, either.

Southern Scene Arkansas's Governor Orval Faubus boasts that he is sure that Little Rock residents Saturday will vote against inte grating public schools. His next apparent intention is to convert the public schools into private ones and open them for classes. Faubus, however, realizes that schools built with public tax funds will al most certainly not be operated by a pri vate group without the administration clamping an injunction on them as il legally operated. The Governor then de clares that it will be "their (the admmi startion's) responsibility for keeping the schools closed longer." Parents of Little Rock students have already indicated that many of them would rather see their children going to integrated schools than no school at all. or taking classes by television. Faubus has thus been feeling growing pressure to open the schools and let segregation slip down the drain. Unwilling to admit any type of mistake or defeat he has decided on this type of back stage manuevering which might relieve the pressure on him. but will at the same time solve nothing. Peaceful integration in the South seems to be impossible. But still the United States need not offer the world a mass of apologies and sad excuses. Integration and the redaction of prejudice is a grow ing reality in this nation. Though there may be outbreaks of physical violence, most of the battles have been fought in courts. Most of them will continue to be fought in such courts. The South, it is almost certain, cannot afford to cast off public education. Pri vate education expenses would simply be too great for most middle class and lower class families. The efforts by Gov. Faubus to delay integration by attempting the establishment of private schools will prob ably prove totally unworkable because of this. Time w ill tell, but it is certain that with more than two-thirds of the world non-Caucasian, whites a America cannot continue to discriminate if they are to sur vive in a world in which long backward areas are beginning to see the dawning of a new era of progress and power. of "My Bootless Cries' were 1 VOr.

Fraternity serenade s those collec tions of flat tenors and booze whoozied basses who period ically try to make an impres sion on sororities by trudging around campus singing that they don't give a damn for anyone who won't drink beer with them are at least as foolish as the ROTC's new emphasis on guttural noises of a different sort. TV ' ROTC will be blamed for anything they do simply because the entire concept of ROTC is oing to iik the av erage collcian. For me uni forms lost their charm when I clambered out of my last pair of Boy Scout bermudas; the costumes which the would be second louies wear at least twice a week are an insult to anyone with either a sense in beauty in clothes or enough intelligence to see that the olive-greens are just another attempt to convert the student into a cog or an IBM num ber. Uniforms represent th e ultimate in '"togei-jeraess." a phrase which implies the loss of the very individuality of mind which a college educa tion should give. ; i n g up in i b a c k of our j staid old Stu ; d e n t Union are looked upon with fear and i t r e p i uation I can't quite raise the ; e n e r g y to squelch the Debaters Seek iNVc Talksters i A general meeting for per- , sons interested in University Judv From the Editor A Few Words of a Kind e. e. hines It's terrible when gets up too sleepy i -i4i.ti wic game- i i c l l da I en a person! the title of the text book fori stand.
