Editorial Comment:
Once A Year Day
Came At Right Time
Like the song from Pajama Game, it
was our "Once a year day" and nearly
everyone took full advantage of it. Only
the graduate students and those with Fri
day exams did not take time out to party
and even some of these groups could be
teen decorating local partying places.
What was a large headache to the police
and clean-up teams was to the student
an unexpected holiday an unplanned
vacation the kind that is always the best
because it is spontaneous.
Yearly Revisions
Perhaps Too Often
Two new rush week schedules were pro
posed in IFC Wednesday night
Both measures would extend the present
schedule and call for an increased number
of party dates that rushees would spend at
individual houses.
Opinion seems to point to adoption of one
of the two measures with some possible
changes. If so, then rush week proced
ures again will take on a new look as they
have done with changes in the past few
years.
Although the Daily Nebraskan does not
stand against change or the improvement
of existing systems, it seems that the
IFC has been a little too anxious to try to
change its rush week schedules in the
past few years.
This year's rush we?k committee has
come up with what appear to be several
good changes for the existing procedure
that definitely may have been needed.
But perhaps it would be a good idea
next year for the IFC to stand on the de
cision that is reached in the next few
weeks. Some good rush week plans ob
viously have fallen by the wayside as new
rules come to take their place before ade
quate testing had been given.
It hardly seems like a wise idea for fra
ternity leaders of one year to have so
little confidence in the proposals drawn up
by their predecessors.
So why not decide what really is needed.
With wise judgment, f- choices certainly
are ones which will usable for more
than one year.
It seems strange that plans such as
rush week schedules can become obsolete
almost as quickly as modern weapons of
war.
'"We've been needing this" commented
one Grill observer yesterday.
Yup that was the concensus then and
now. What Bush-A-Palooza was last year,
snow is this year, and suddenly spirits
that had been drooping are zooming. The
snow came at a time when one word
apathy has been so overworked that a
Daily Nebraskan columnist refused to use
it and everyone still understood.
It came at a time when students were
beginning to feel the first tinges of spring
fever, induced by a week of glorious sun
shine. It came at a time in a semester
when only one vacation and that one a
long way off makes classes string out in
what seems an endless chain.
It came at a time when hour exams
seem to hit every other day, and it is hard
to find a moment to stop and see the for
eign film for the week. It came at that
point in the semester when suddenly all
the pressures that have been piling up
since the beginning of the semester start
to assume crushing proportions.
It came and it went. Friday classes
will seem perhaps longer than usual be
cause yesterday was a holiday. But it
was fun and if class schedules were
thrown a lecture behind they can prob
ably be caught up later, because a once
a year day is worth a little inconvenience
later.
Matching Dresses
Fall By Way-Side
So no more will the same dress hang in
25 closets of the same house. It used to
be fine humor material when six coeds
walked out of the house on a bright spring
morning all sporting blue sheaths, or pink
sacks or green cottons.
AWS' decision to abolish the wearing of
the identical dresses by groups partici
pating in the Sing is a wise one. It is only
one more indication of what seems to be
a more mature attitude on campus this
year. Better still is the fact that AWS has
decided to disqualify any group which pur
chases costumes especially for the sing.
AH too frequently economic and common
sense considerations are ignored when the
campus decides to celebrate. It is heart
ening to see that like Coed Counselors,
IFC etc., etc., AWS is soul searching in
the matter of activities.
Casual Observer
L 1
Diana
And on a day when I didn't have any
classes anyway! Gads! Seems like there's
no justice left in the world. Last time it
snowed enough to have classes dismissed,
I remember building an eight-foot snow-
woman, with the aid of a
couple of other Lincoln
students who were able to
travel through the slush
and snow to get to the
party.
Today the story is of
casualties. Sony Whalen
reports that she stumbled
into a snowdrift which
was hiding a cement
block. And on her 21st
birthday too.
Then there was John Hoerner, who
called in from somewrhere out in the coun
try where his car is stuck in another drift.
His tale was even wilder something about
going out with a friend because a cow was
calving.
Heading the list, however, is the head
man, who is over in a corner room in Stu
dent Health taking a vacation from the
pounding of typewriter keys.
Student Aid Fund
Physicians at the University College of
Medicine have inaugurated a program
which is indicative of the intense interest
in our Med School. This is one phase of
the University which nearly everyone
seems to back to the hilt.
This latest effort is a non-profit corpora
tion organized to provide a fund from
which needy med students can borrow
money.
Known as the Nebraska Medical Educa
tion Fund, the corporation has the author
ity to accept contributions and invest
them, borrow money and pay and obli
gate itself for any expenses involved.
Loans up to $1,500 win be made to stu
dents in the medical or health professions.
All voting members of this corporation
must, be licensed to practice medicine in
the state.
What seems to me to be the most inter
esting aspect of the program is that all the
charter members are on the staff of the
College of Medicine. This is the kind of
interest in a college or a school or a de
partment that can scarcely fail to strength
en and unify it.
Precedents
All kinds of strange precedents may ac
tually be set. Does everyone realize that
this is the third consecutive year that we
have had a day off? In 1957 snow was the
reason. In 1958 oh heck, everybody
knows about Bush-a-Palooza, and now
once again its the weather.
Great work, this. Next year what would
be most splendid would be to have a
smashing football victory of such dimen
sions that students one and all would riot
for their traditional" day off.
Excavations
By Kandish Satkunam
Congratulations to the
Indian students on the cam
pus for their tremendous
presentation of a cultural
program on Saturday night.
Nevertheless, the Indian
students owe a great deal
to the Union hospitality
corui.nit.ee for their success.
The programs were inter
esting and colorful, al
though I must give a special
mention to Linda Canton
the only American girl in
the program who per
formed the act of an Indian
girl in love.
Proves Interest
The 500 persons who
turned up to watch the pro
gram proved that the Ameri
cans are interested and will
ing to understand the peo
ple and the
cultures of
the world.
P erhaps,
this posi
t i v e re
sponse from the
A m erican
audi ence
might stim
ulate t h e
foreign stu- Kandy
dents from the other 53
countries on campus to pre
sent similar programs from
time to time, although it is
not an easy task. A great
deal of time and effort is
necessary.
The programs however,
need not be confined to cul
ture. There can be some
kind of a panel discussion
organized by the Middle
East or Far East students,
or the students from Europe
might discuss the various
problems and prospects of
their respective countries.
This might be of interest to
both the Americans and the
foreign students.

might be invited, or educa
tional and cultural films
might be obtained from the
respective embassies and
shown on the campus.
Cosmopolitan
It might be a good idea
for the Cosmopolitan Club
to take the initiative to spon
sor such programs. But, it
seems to me that the club
is not getting adequate sup
port from the students.
However, I think that the
club still has some hopes
and that it can do a lot for
both the American and the
foreign students.
The club needs more
funds, and to achieve this it
can attract more members
through its regular, worthy
programs. It also needs
much publicity. A good
number of foreign students
do not become aware of the
date, time, and place of the
club's meetings. In addi
tion to the notifications in
the Daily Nebraskan, indi
vidual call letters can also
be sent.
Probably, when the Cos
mopolitan Cub receives
adequate funds and support,
it can publish a monthly or
quarterly bulletin.
New Name?
The foreign students on
the campus need a club of
their own where they can
get together and also invite
their American friends to
participate in their pro
grams. Negligence on the part of
the foreign students to sup
port the club cannot be tol
erated. If the name of the
club does not sound good,
why not give a new name
and new life to it. Call it
"The International Students
Club!"

Ticket Troubles
On February 2. 1959, 1 re
ceived a ticket for parking
in the wrong area on the
Agricultural Campus.
I do not believe I should
have received this ticket un
til I received a notice from
the police department. Evi
dently the ticket was put
on my window, but blew off
or was taken off again. The
second reason why I believe
I shouldn't have had my tic
ket, is that it was my first
day on campus as a new
student and I didn't know I
was doing wrong.
I think I should have been
told that I was to park in
only one area or warned of
it before receiving a ticket.
