Page 2 The Daily Nebnskan Friday, May 22, 1959 Editdrial Comment: Semester Reviewed Progress Apparent The school year, viewed throueh the pages of this newspaper has been one of far more flux and change than we sup posed before we began our perusal. Physically, Lyman Hall has been dedi cated and is now in use. The temporary buildings are all gone except for three back of Student Health. The Union has a new addition almost ready for occupancy. Work soon will begin on the Kellogg Casual Mention Piques Curiosity The other day a casual mention piqued our curiosity and we decided to find out a little, something about an organization called Christian Crusade. Wa collected a couple of copies of their publication, also called Christian Crusade, and the following information. The Crusade is published by Dr. Billy James Hargis who maintains offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma. At one time you could get a package deal subscription to Crusade and American Mercury for the same price. Some of the content of both magazines is written and edited in the same style and they have mutual con tributors. Prominently featured in each issue of Crusade is a column called "Communism on the Campus." The author of this article "exposes" Communists on college facul--ties monthly. . Sample (April '59) expose: ; I went into the office of a sociologist and found him seated at a typewriter. 1 asked, 'Would you like to have some anti-Communist literature at discounted rates to distribute?' He replied, "Not today, thank . you " - This above exchange is supposed to ; prove that said sociologist is a Communist. -And we didn't quote this out of context. " The whole column sounds like this every - month. The American Mercury is more subtle. For instance: "Jesus Christ was the first victim of the " majority vote." (Dec. 5S or "The Krem lin leaders have es nightmare one all consuming fear . It is the simultaneous up rising of 900 million slaves. If these United States would stop financing and helping the butchers, the tortured people would clean house." Informed people say "900 million pray for war" as this would automatically be the long awaited signal for a simultaneous uprising of the enslaved people. These United States could also benefit from a thorough housecleaning!!" (May '59 ) We will let these statements stand with out further comment as to their validity and. intent. And from this we will let the reader reason out the political sentiments, pur poses and reliability of the people wjio in volve themselves with these publications. Center. Changes have been made in intangible areas too. A trend away from activities was evidenced by Coed Counselors when they dropped the Penny Carnival: AUF when they stopped the auction and Kosmet Klub when they had trouble filling a Fall Show and then couldn't have a spring epic. Yet students appear more responsible and better able to govern themselves.-The Student Tribunal, though its closed door policy still finds no favor with this news paper, has done a fair and impartial Job of reviewing student misconduct. The Stu dent Council got up on its feet and took the lead in registration and exam schedule problems perhaps the first sign of posi tive action from that group since the Tri bunal was instituted. And, of course, our old friends in the Union gave us a new innovation in student government with their advisory board. Bob Handy, this semester's Outstanding Nebraskan, gave the Union activities peo ple a brand new, expanded program too. People were understanding each other better and better as the year progressed. The foreign and American students aired their differences in these pages in one of the most constructive discussions we have ever printed. Feature stories on curent events moved onto the editorial page along with book reviews to keep us changing too. Inter national politics got an occasional going over in our editorial columbns. There were all these changes mostly for the better. And there was one change strictly for the worse. For the Legislature again revived the old academic freedom issue and blitzed the University's reputation with innuendo and half truths. We hope that the fires of this contro versy will soon die out under the impetus of a Regents' investigation. We hope that the burns won't be too bad and that the state's good solons will give the Univer sity a sizable increase in the budget for higher faculty salaries. It is certain, however, that this is the most outstanding issue of the year. And we are proud that most students have stood with their instructors and upheld their right to behave as citizens in a free community. In the future, we hope that tolerance will be the watchword. And in closing we, feel happy that this newspaper has once again had an oppor tunity to serve the campus and we are glad to have been a part of this service. A new staff with new ideas will greet you in the fall. Until then, we say good bye "with malice towards none." Casual Observer Diana It's almost 6 p.m. as I sit down to churn out this last column of the year. Nearly all of the staff 'cept the old faithfuls Carroll, Sandy, George and Randy have gone home for dinner. Most of them won't be back later. For sev eral today was the last day down in this hole in the basement It is sort of a hole a pleasant one b a t still mostly a hole. We spend four, five, six or seven ' hours down here a day, four, or five, or six days a week. We gripe, we yelL we glare at the gaping holes ia the ceiling. But when someone mentioned that they were going to redecorate here, those of us who wiH be returning, sort of a stunned look cane over everyone. Not So Tough It seems but for heavens sake, don't let this out that these tough Rag kids that group of crusaders out to torpedo any and all institutions actually have hearts, and what's more, they 'are a bunch of sentimental suckers. George is wandering around looking nostalgic as he prepares to clear out the editor's office. No wonder. Despite what I said earlier about all the griping, all the yelling, most Rag kids have the idea that they wouldn't trade this hole for the world. The work runs into the 25 and 30 hour a week category. Evened out, the salary is ' somewhere in the 25 cents an hour range hardly enough to lure anyone down here to get rich. Before some cynic asks, might as well mention why most of the kids do come 'down and work like the ones who are ' graduating seniors the ones who aren't ' trying to work up the hierarchy, who just work because they love it. It's more than the Rag. That's the primary loyalty, but without the atmosphere of the campus, there would be no Rag staff because you have to love this place to put up with the pressures, the constant complaints from people (you know, the old you can't please everyone jag). Constructive Despite the almost constant twitter around the campus that the Rag is "out to get somebody", we feel that when we criti cize, it is to improve. We feel that as the campus paper, we have the one real forum through which the student point of view may be expressed. Thus if it seems at times that we take large swings at the administrative offices, perhaps it is because we feel that no one else really has the opportunity to do so. The Council could, but a combination of factors keeps it from doing an effective job most of the time in expressing force fully the so-called student point of view whatever that may be. Time is passing rather quickly. Three of the crew just ran upstairs to get a tray of Crib food. We eat a lot of that. Ingridjust came down she and Carroll are putting in a bit of last minute cramming before an exam. Yeah the truth's out. We study down here, loo. Sellenlin even jarred loose and bought us all some goodies to eat today. Gads! it's fantastic what gets into people when they know that the crew is splitting up. George is banging out his last editorial. Nostalgia, nostalgia. If I didn't have a term paper and exam tomorrow, I'd dwell on it a bit.

The editorial speaks of The Big Lie," apparently referring to statements made by Senator Jack Ro mans about certain law col lege professors. I know of nothing said by Senator Romans which could be re ferred to as a "lie." And, in fact to my knowledge, your story is the first which h3s even hinted at such a word. To charge someone with lying is a se rious matter, particularly when not justified. As one who is so concerned about unfeunded charges, you should be particularly care ful not to make such a se rious, unfounded charge yourself. Also, you say that "The charges .made on the floor of the ( Legislature have been refuted with the most reliable evidence avail able. "Under the pressure of facts from the United States Government and a United States Senator, they have collapsed with barely a wheeze." Apparently, you are not acquainted with the facts, for which I do not blame you since you have not been close to this mat ter. However, whether you should be writing an edi torial with such a lack of information is something that might be questioned. A number of the Romans' charges have been admit ted, others remain to be proved or disproved and still others, such as incon sistent statements by one professor, are controverted matters of opinion. As for the "facts from the United States Government", I as-" sum? you are referring to the Chancellor's statement that Mr. Foote had been' "cleared" by the presiden tial pardon Mr. Fooie re ceived along with along list of other violators of the selective service laws. With due respect to the Chancel lor, for whom I have much admiration. I think any lawyer will tell you that a pardon does not clear a convicted man of anything. You apparently got the im pression, as have many others, by the word "cleared" that Mr. Foote was not guilty in the first place an impression I am sure the Chancellor did not intend So, I think you are in I 4 rwrwn - - i- I ' -- few M staJl West Photoplay Ivan Hoig's resignation. as city manager of the Cooper Foundation theatres here puts Lincoln at a loss for one of its most colorful characters and truly nicest guys. Ike began with Cooper in February of 1932 as an usher while attending this University. Soon he was doorman, house manager and assistant to the city man ager. Cooper enterprises in those days en compassed a total of six houses. Movies were enjoying a heyday of popularity; big name stage shows were a rage, and nat urally the circuit was interested in the fireball of enthusiasm which was Ike Hoig throughout his career. Spending several years with theatres in Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Oklahoma City, Ike built a national reputation for his imaginative and timely exploitation ideas. Several of his campaigns for films received awards from their producers (BLOCKADE) and he served as a con sultant for 20th Century Fox on their primition and layout plans for "12 O'Clock High", Hoig returned to Lincoln in 1351. Eulogy This piece is not an attempt at eulogy, for ike Hoig is now amid the sheltering palms as Director of Publicity and Public Relations at Paramount Pictures Weeki Wachee Sprir.gs resort, near Clearwater, Florida. He'll certainly be missed here a man of ideas, great interest in his work (and, ia turn, in those interested in it) and that rare and valuable talent, showmanship. Ah, lis one of those rare occasions, but Alec Guinness is this week again with us for more of the particular brand of genius that has won him world-wide acclaim and in numerable international awards for excellence. Guineas , Guinness, the comedian: Guinness the 'serious actor whatever, be assured that his current appearance in "The Horse's Mouth" will leave little to be desired as a delight ful entertainment. In this one Alec portrays one Gulley Jimson, colorful: offbeat; picturesque; brawling a dedi cated artist, perhaps more tramp than talent. The screen adaptation of the Joyce Carey novel was made by the star himself. Also involved before the cameras are Kay Walsh and Ernest Thesiger. The picture was pho tographed in London, in Technicolor, and appears now at the Nebraska. Conclusion This column concludes the third semester of motion picture comment in the Rag. In this attempt to present comprehensive (and yet more interested than overly criti cal) reviews of feature pictures, as well as presonality pro files and ideas about the industry, it has been hoped you've found it worthwhile. Whatever, here's a large tip of the hat to our past three editors for allowing these many para graphs. It is believed that this is the only regular feature about movies in any university daily, and a public appre ciation for their generous allotment of space to the world's most unique, exciting and watched entertainment, is cer tainly in order. error in saying the charges have been refuted. I cer tainly would feel no resent ment if you should editor ialize against my opinion that .Mr. Foote, as a two time convictcs, should not ba put on the government payroll to teach law to Ne braska students. Also, you might disagree with me. though I doubt it, when I ssy that academic f r e e dom does not extend so far as to cover the statements, if they were in fact made, ascribed to a law professor by Eugene Bustard. But on facts, I think you should be accurate. As for my part in this whole episode. I had noth ing to do with Mr. Romans' resolution and think I would have opposed it. Nor. dd I present the charges. I am sorry this whole affair oc curred. However. the charges have been brought, some are serious and should, I think, be com pletely investigated by the Board of Regents. I opposed the Burbach reso lution since it suggested that the charges were "un founded", whereas this has not been shown.' I do not like unfounded charges. Ey the same token 1 do not like the unfounded dismissal of charges. As a Nebraska law college grad uate of 1&50. I have confi dence in the Chancellor and Board of Regents. the dangerously narrow ed ucational rut in which hs finds himself. Dinosaur I will my dinosaur bone to Senator Romans for him to chew on as he p;fks his way through the over growth in the legislature and leads the attack on dangerous left-wing organ izations such as the Com munity Chest (first six let ters of the word "Cou.mun isl" you know). I will my pet alligator to the Division of Student Af fairs for them to wrestle wiih in case there is no panty raid.' Never fear, gentlemen, all its teeth are gone or broken due to tlie continual bouts with would be bag makers. I leave my bow and ar row set to the campus po lice so that they may play cowboys and Indians while hunting parking criminals and window peckers. I donate my play pen rn;!er Mueller Tower to the Red Dots so that they might find humor -in their drinking. I grant my kindergarten color paint box to the TNE's as 1 notice their re cent attempts are wearing off t ie inevitable porches. or I will my elongated mir ror to the Pi Xi's so that if any cne of them finds him self alone in a bar he m "ht have drinking companion ship on that level to which he is accustomed.
