Exercise Your Right,
Coeds, Vote Tomorrowl
Tomorrow aU of the women on this campus will exer-
cise their right to vote in the All-Women elections.
Credit should be given to the Mortar Boards for their
running and coordinating the election. It is a hard job to
sponsor one campus election, but to take on the combined
elections of AWS, IWA, YMCA and other groups is al-
most suicidal. .
Real credit should be given to the master-minds who
originally thought of the idea to lump all of the female
campus-wide elections, which, when lined up by them-
selves seem pretty minor, into one big election.
Now, instead of tripping down to the polling places
every other Tuesday for4he next fifteen weeks, a coed
can clear out all of the all-women elections with one
giant stroke of the pencil.
Although campus elections are often called a bind on
one's time, we must remember the importance of free
elections. Any realist can say that a campus election is a
pretty small example to demonstrate our voting rights.
But at the same time the realist must also concede that 5
this is a free election and it is our responsibility to follow
through with our vote.
At universities through out the country students are
continually complaining aboat their rights and freedoms.
Yet. at the same Institutions, the same complaining stu-
dents fail to uphold already established responsibilities.
Too often students, as well as many other citizens,
are too busy looking for new freedoms and responsibih- s
Ities, when at the same time, they are neglecting these
already established rights and responsibilities.
1 "I
Peace Corps' Policy Is
Domestic, Not Foreign
By Eric Sevareid
The President's "Peace
Corps," so far is a bright
stroke of domestic, not for
eign policy. It is a pre
scription that helps to cure
one of
A m erica's
internal ail
ments, not
ailing soci
eties over
seas. This
is its effect
if not its of
ficial inten
tion. It is a
doc tor's Sevareid
placebo, g 1 v e n to the or
ganically healthy, educated
youth of America to h e 1 p
cure it of its imagined ill
ness: the feeling that their
generation hag no big and
dramatic challenges as did
their fathers in revamping
America's economic society
under Roosevelt and fight
ing the Facists threat to lib
erty. That is why the ex
citement here far exceeds
the expectations in the
distant destinations of this
crusade.
The sense of frustration
in the post-war college
generation ran wide and
deep. To them, the days
of great collective adven
tures seemed to be over.
They were forced to look
inward; they sought exclu
sively personal answers to
the fulfillment of life in
their times. So they mar
ried young, built private
walls against the world,
spawned a whole school of
extremely funny, extremely
cynical night club scoffers
at all that was political and
public. They thought they
saw a complacent, selfish,
money-cenetered society all
around them. They took it
al face value, hedged
against It, and their disap
pointed fathers called them
security-conscious and con
formists. But America never really
changes in its heart of
hearts. It is constantly re
newed in its better Instincts
because the best of its youth
does not really change. It
seeks to act, to find some
thing above and beyond self
with which to identify and
give meaning to personal
life. It finds something new
in the youthful, gay courage
of the President himself and
in this "Peace Corps,"
token of his own spirits's
kinship with them.
Oscar Wilde said, "Amer
ica's youth is its oldest
tradition; they have been
at it now for three hundred
years." Well, we are at it
again, thank heaven.
As an act of spiritual mo
bilization of American
youth, the "Peace Corps"
is important. In terms of
its potential, measureable,

from our dorm because of
1). carrying less than a
"full" program and 2).
"disciplinary" reasons.
Concerning the former
charge, since Joe is a grad
uating senior and taking
enough credits to enable
him to graduate in June, he
should not be required to
take more just to fulfill
what the dorm considers a
"necessary" requirement.
Furthermore, a quick sur
vey found several other
students carrying an
amount of credits below
that which is supposedly
"necessary".
Therefore, we feel that
this charge is an unfair and
false and not universally en
forced. The second charge we
feel cannot be substantiated
and also feel is an unfair
and false one. Joe has been
living in the dorm since he
entered school four years
ago. Why now, only a few
months before his gradua
tion, is it suddenly neces
sary to eject him, is a
question that puzzles us. We
would like an answer from
Mr. Calvert as to why he
was not removed before, If
he has been a "discipline"
problem. Since we have
known Joe we have only
known him to be an asset
to (he dorm life and as a
friend.

Ninety men are bound for
a beach 32 miles away. Un
fortunately, the bus can on
ly hold 32 men when packed
tifiht. Thus loaded It will
make 34 miles per hour.
Empty it will make 36 miles

will show that the practical
thing under such circum

a certain distance, drop
them, go back and pick up
30 more walking men, drive
them a certain distance, etc.
The speed of the walking
men is 4 miles per hour.
Now what combination of

will result in all ninety men

Win Award
A five man University
Army ROTC rifle team has
won the Department of De
fense's annual William Ran
dolph Hearst ROTC Marks
manship Competition.
The Nebraska team
scored 965 out of a possible
1,000 points to defeat Ore
gon State College (Navy),
with a score of 947, and
' Oklahoma State University
(Air Force), 912.
Bill Holland led the team,
firing a 197 out of a pos
sible 200. He fired two per
fect scores in the prone and
kneeling positions.
Other team members and
their scores were: Howard
McNiff, 196; Marvin Cox,
194; Conley Cleveland, 191;
and Tom Berry, 187.
By winning the postal
competition, the University
team can be classified as
"the best of the nation,"
according to Capt. Rex Wal
lace. "For the first time in the
University's history," Wal
lace said, "the team has
defeated all Army ROTC
schools in the nation plus
the Navy and Air Force
champions."
The University team had
previously won the Army
competition making them
eligible to compete against
the Navy and Air Force
winners.

I WAS A TEEN-AGE SLIDE RULE
In a recent learned journal (Mad) the distinguished board
chairman (Ralph "Hot-Lips" Sigafoos) of one of our most
important American corporations (the Arf Mechanical Dog Co.)
wrote a trenchant article in which he pinpointed our gravest
national problem: the lack of culture among science graduated.
Mr. Sigafoos'g article, it must be emphasized, was in no nensa
derogatory. He stated quite clearly that the science student,
what with his gruelling curriculum in physics, math, and chem
istry, can hardly be expected to find time to study the art
too. What Mr. Sigafoos deplores indeed, what we all deplore
is the lopsided result of today's science courses: graduates
who can build a bridge but can't compose a concerto, who know
Planck's Constant but not Botticelli's Venus, who are familiar
with Fraunhofer's lines but not with Schiller's.
Mr. Sigafoos can find no solution to this hideous imbalance.
I, however, believe there is one and a very simple one. It it
this: if studente of science don't have time to come o the arts,
then we must let the arts come to students of tdence.
For example. would be a very easy thing to teadl porfrf
and muote right along with phytic. Student, instead of met
being called upon to recite m physics clam, would instead b
required to rhyme their answers and set them to familiar tanr
-like, for instance, The Colonel Bogey March. Thus reflations
would not only be chock-full of important facts but wouM, at
the same time, expose the student to the aesthetic delights of
great music. Here, try it yourself. Yon all know Tht Cebmd
