Editorial Comment:
Fieu?s on Federal Aid
All Aren't Unfavorable
The following editorial was taken from
the University Daily Kansaa. It presents
favorable views on federal aid to educa
tion, a much-discussed topic in education
circles throughout the country.
"Opponents of federal aid to education
warn us of the dire peril of 'control' of ed
ucation by the federal g overnment
"This is an absurd excuse. It is absurd
despite the opinions of voters in the third
congressional district of Kansas who said
in a recent poll that they do not favor fed
eral aid to education and believe that it
would result in 'federal control of educa
tion.' "Nearly 8,000 persons replied to ques
tionnaires sent out by Congressman Wil
liam Avery. On the question of federal aid
for school construction, 41 per cent favored
it, 53 per cent opposed it and 6 per cent
had no opinion. On the question of federal
aid for teacher salaries, 27 per cent fa
vored it, 59 per cent opposed it and 14 per
cent had no opinion.
Forty-nine per cent of those answering
the query said they believe federal aid will
result in federal 'control, 38 per cent said
they did not believe it would and 13 per
cent gave no opinion.
"We don't understand this sudden and
irrational fear of control of education by
the federal government
"The government builds almost every
thing but schools, and is far from control

ling the many aspects of our economy on
which it spends money. Congress annually
votes billions for roads, hospitals, flood
projects, military establishments, etc.
Why not for schools?
"There will be no federal 'control' of ed
ucation unless such is provided for in the
legislation setting up an aid program.
Backers of such bills in recent years have
pointed out that no provisions for control
are included in the bills. There is no rea
son for not supporting a bill which clear
ly does not have 'control provisions.'
"We cannot continue to neglect our ed
ucation system. We need more teachers
and higher pay for them. We need more
classrooms, and we need them quickly.
"Schools are overcrowded now and will
be increasingly so as the pressure of the
high birth rates of the mid-40's make their
impact.
"It was estimated by the Rockefeller
Report on Education, issued in June of
1958, that by 1975 our colleges and univer
sities will face at least a doubling, and in
some cases a tripling of present enroll
ments. "We could quote statistics all day show
ing the need for immediate financial help
for the schools. Some of this aid should
come from the federal government.
"We need to bolster our school system
right now. And we are not justified in fail
ing to act because of a silly fear of fed
eral 'control' of education."
Looker
You will wear the proper
garb or you won't gradu
ate. You will make the scene
or else you'll get a darned
good excuse from the dean
of your college and pay
flO.
Yon will be herded
a r e a n d by some faculty
marshal until you're with
your respective college
group.
You will call for your "de
gree between such and such
a time at your convenience.
So happy graduation.
Nostalgia.
The last fraternity seren
ade. Now there wffl be time to
attend concerts and plays.
The last class.
Now there wffl be time to
read.Pogo and Salinger.
The last walk to the Crib
for a coke.
Now there wUl be time
to travel.
The last loud chatter at
the GrilL
Now there wffl be time
for the 'hungry i".
Yea for nostalgia. It
brings to mind so many
ideas of things to come.
It also brings to mind a
certain passage from "On
the Road" by Jack Kerou
ac: "The only people for me
are the mad ones the ones
who are mad to live, mad
to talk, mad to be saved,
desirous of everything at
the same time, the ones
who never yawn or say a
commonplace thing but
burn, burn, bum like fab
ulous yellow roman candles
exploding like spiders
across the stat .'
There will be no nostal
gia. There will just be time.
"The world situation be
ing what it is, one is en
couraged to live each day
fuHy," comment overheard
from a friend expressing
his opinion on the results of
the summit conference.
Very good. And thought
provoking. Is seeking se
curity more important than
living each day fufly?
Seeking security may not
build up much more than
apprehensions.
Living fully may build up
memories.

OH Oradr. Okarlaw
. . Forget it
By Dick Stuckey
Speaking of traditions if
anybody happens to be
speaking of traditions it
might be constructive"
to think in particular of one
particular old particular
one. EspeciaUy since this
is the time of the year
when the annuals come out
for us to see them and the
pictures and the people all
sitting in chairs having
their picture took are now
in print sitting in chairs
having their picture took
are now in print sitting in ,
chairs having their names
read below them.
But the tradition. It oc
curred once when hearing
everyone say, well how fine
the high school people j'en
at the high school basket
baU gamesr why cant they
retain this to cheer at the
DTD-Beta Ben But or
stand around yelling
come'on babe at the men
working in trees or some
thing but mostly probab
ly they should yell as loud
at athletic games and all
So listen now. Remember
the fine old high school
practice of writing in an
nuals? Let's do it again.
Let's pen words inside cov
ers to live forever in our
remembrances and some
time we can file them away
with the Nebraska'
Alumnus.
And so I have prepared
several rubber stamps with
messages already com
posed on them so that you
may say something in so
much more annuals and
so less time. These rubber
stamps are available for
eighty five cents apiece,
'and please indicate in or
dering what kind you want
so that I win know this.
And here we are with
what them rubber stamps
for writing in annuals say:
(1) This one is for ac
tivity minded people: Dear
(George, Joe, Ben, Mort,
Dick, Larry, Fanner, etc.)
Remember aU the fun we
had in (IFC, EST, CBS,
EAT, SBLFLTC, etc.) elec
tions. Boy did yon ever
show 'em. Keep op the good
strings, and best of luck in
the future to a real sweU
. . . incumbent.
(2) And for your ROTC
friends: To; From;
Subj: Annual signing noti
fication. Request you sub
mit your certified duplicate
to my annual in triplicate.
Reminder for remem
brance of all good times
past year. Fine work. Keep
the company reputation as
is, and proceed as directed
before 23 Jan 84. Epluri
bus Unum, 10-4, Roger.
(3) The faculty stamp:
Uhhh ... I am certain that
no such remembrances . . .
no remembrances such as
this ... ..uh . . . wffl ever
. . . yes? . . . no . . . ever
begin to influence me as to
keep relations between my
students and . -. . Uh . . .
myself on such a scale of
grandeur as I have .. . uh
. . . boo fraternities.
(4) Now one for the ad
ministration: Dear Mr.
Miss, Mrs., (choose one)
Would you please make an
appointment, either by per
son or phone, with Dean . . .
and best of luck, forever, at
Nebraska Wesleyan or
someplace.
(5) Oae for athletes:
Hey, Babe! It sure has
been real swefl this year
down here at coUegde. I
enjoyed copying aU your
notes, and it sure has been
real sweU this year down
here at coUedge. I am fine.
See Spot run. Spot runs
faster than our coach. See
LITTLE MAN
0?COUZ& I'M rUT, put-
coach run. See Spot run
coach. Spot is an alum.
(6) And for greeks: WeU
this has been sure a year .
hasn't it it sure has been a
year than for letting me
sign the book honey I'm in
a rush I've got to go play
"Nearer My God To Thee"
because the good iceburg
public opinion ran into our
ship and only the women
are escaping and they say
nobody saw it ahead there
but I think it sneaked up
on us.
(7) For the alums: For
get it
And by the way speaking
of alams congratulations
are certainly in order, to
them and the faculty and
student affairs and the fine
people of the fine state for
the fine job done en the
Tri-Sigs.
It is certainly satisfying
to know that everybody is
in unanimous favor of
strangling the fraternity
system because of its fail
ure to live up to the
demands of the preceding
generation. It is also fine
that the proceeding gener
ation has shouldered the
present one with the moral
responsibility neglected
since time began, and that
the fine people of the state
who look to us for rectify
ing their error and failure
wffl keep driving away at
our corrosion insistently un
til we either break or grad
uate to become them.
The only thing I would
like to add to our intem
gent, pious, fine, anti, up
standing, kiDer, righteous,
doublebreasted faculty and
to the officials who are so
certain that strangling us
wffl cure us rather than
taking medicine, and to the
fine people of the state and
everywhere who say what
I am saying is not taking
the medicine which it is not
because no one has given
us any much less a spoon
and again to the fine peo
ple of the state including
the doublebreasted faculty
and administration who are
so concerned with the bad
reflections cast back on the
school onlv GET OFF
OUR BACKS!!!
So you're concerned with
the opinion of the outside
concerning the inside. So
how about being concerned
with how the inside feels
about the inside. So how
about us, anyway, father-king-teacher-preacber.
What are we here for
anyway to show yon what
good people we are, or to
prove something to our
selves. So get off our backs
anyway,, and if you want
us to shoulder your damn
responsibility which you
give us because you let it
slide, and if you want us
to be your leaders of tomor
row, and if you want us to
take care of your mistakes
and ours then get off our
backs. Amen and address
your cries of ."moral eva
sion," etc. to the brick
building over there. They'U
read'em.
And by the way if any
body is interested in some
thing to cheer for try that
guy and his group over
there that blew up after, he
got back to the embassy
and if anybody is interest
ed in something big to
watch for try that bum
that teed the first guy off.
And by the way when does
the Pope open that letter?
Probably it wffl have the
solution to all our prob
lems here in it since they're
the only ones that matter.

P.E. Needed?
To the Editor:
This is in answer to the
editorial "Arguments for
Women's P. E. Could Be
Stronger." The arguements
for required phys ed, if not
mained and distorted, are
strong.
I respect the Rag's right
to Its own views in the edi
torial columns; however,
careful wording and mis
use of statistics create a
picture that is a great deal
out of focus.
"He (Dean Mflitzer) said,
and righfly so, that the
objective of the University
is to train the mind" and
that health, although Im
portant, should be left to
Student Health. Student
Health is a fine place te go
after you're sick but in the
meantime a little physical
activity, which is on the
University level, may help
relieve mental tension from
a heavy academic load.
The idea seems to be to
get rid of the few hours of
phys ed so more "solids"
can be added to the A&S
schedules.
Some class observation
on the part of officials in
volved would show that
phys ed classes now re
quired and offered option
aUy are on a level com
mendable to a university.
Constant analyses of the
program take place and
changes are made accord
ingly. Skills learned in
these classes tend to make
it easier to participate in
such things as tennis, bowl
ing and water sports out
side of school.
A&S and the Rag assert
TILL WE MEET AGAIN
Today I conclude my sixth year of writing columns for the
makers of Marlboro and Philip Morris cigarettea. It has been
my custom during these six years to make no attempt to bt
funny in this final column. (I have achieved this objective
many times during the year also, but never on purpose.) The
reasons for the lack of levity in this final column are two: first,
you are preparing for final exams and, short of holding you
down and tickling you, there is no way in the world to make yon
laugh at this time; and, second, for many of us this is a leave
taking, and leave-takings, I think, ought not be flippant.
If I have brought you a moment or two of cheer during tho
past year, I am rewarded. If I have persuaded you to try
Marlboro or Philip Morris cigarettes, you are rewarded.
Let me pause here to express my heartfelt gratitude to the
makers of Marlboro and Philip Morris. They have given mo
complete freedom in the writing of these columns. There hat
not been the slightest hint of censorship. They have never
changed so much as one comma in my copy. I winh to take this
occasion to state publicly tiiat I am forever grateful to these
enlightened tobacconists and I hereby serve notice that if they
find it in their corporate heart to engage me for another year
of columning, I shall require a substantial increase in salary.
The money is not what matters not as money, that is, but
only as a token. I want to be assured that they love me as
much as I love Marlboro and Philip Morris. And what, indeed,
is not to love? Marlboro k a cigarette which proves beyond
cavil that flavor did not go out when filters came in. Philip
Morris is a cigarette that is pure mildness from hrnd to tip
end. Both of these estimable smokes come in aoft-pack or
flip-top box. Neither is ever sold in bulk.
The summer lies ahead. For underclassmen summer will bt
a hiatus, a breather in which to restore yourselves for next
year's resumption of busy college life. For seniors there will
be no more college. You must not, however, despair and abandon
yourself to idleness. There are other things to do in the world
besides going to school -basket weaving, for example, or build
ing boats in bottles, or picking up tinfoil, or reading "War and
Peace." Many graduates fall into the erroneous belief that then
lives are over when they leave college. This is not so. It is
possible to make some sort of life for yourself with a bit of
ingenuity ... or, if that fails, dye your hair, change your name,
and enroll at some other college.
Whatever the future holds for you, be assured that the makers
of Marlboro and Philip Morri8 join me in wishing you the best
of everything. We have taken great pleasure-the makers and
I in bringing you this column each week throughout the school
year. We hone a little pleasure has accrued to you too.
May good fortune attend your ventures. Btey happy. Btay
healthy. Stay loose.
W, thm malctr of Marlboro mnd Phtllp Morrlt, can onty
cio kindly old Max's parting word. Stay happy. 8ty
halthy. Stay loot.

that since major physical
development takes place
before university age, such
programs should not be re
quired. Many searees
say that a great deal of de
velopment and leveling off
occurs in the late teens and
early twenties.
The trouble with leaving
this field optional is that
most wouldn't have the in
itiative to make sure that
they got into a phys ed
class and it's doubtful that
advisers would encourage
it Once the girls are in the
course, 96 per cent ap
prove. How many Ag and
Engineering students would
take English if it were open
to choice.
Opponents of compulsory
phys ed select a few "in
stitutions that have recog
nized no need for a re
quired women's physical
education program" and
fail to mention such schools
as Radcliffe where one
year is required, Carleton,
Whittier, Connecticut and
Scrips where three are re
quired and, among others,
CorneU in Iowa where four
years are required these
as weU as land grant
shools across the country
do recognize the values.
As 1 am not unbiased on
the subject, these argu
ments are open to criticism
as were those of Dean Mfl
itzer and the Rag. But I
feel that the points brought
up in the editorial were in
some ways ent of focus.
What new requirement is
Arts and Sciences trying to
make possible for its stu
dents by clearing the way
of required phys ed?
