EDITORIAL OPINION
Administrative Changes
Will Allow Reevaluation
The mandatory retirement of Dean of Student Affairs
. J. P. Colbert at the end of the University's fiscal year,
the formation of a faculty advisory committee to assist
in selecting a successor to this post and a self study of
the entire area of student services was announced yester
- day in the Daily Nebraskan.
These actions, still in the formation stages, give stu
dents on this campus an unusual opportunity to do some
thing about ancient gripes, pet peeves and, in general,
situations that have had much to do with the ever-present
problem of student apathy.
It is evident that our administrators are seriously
engaged in making needed changes and instituting new
legislation which affect the student population on campus.
Such areas to be considered include student housing,
admissions, records, health, Student Union, relations with
organized houses, foreign student advising, student dis
cipline and financial assistance to students.
Needless to say the foregoing areas nearly blanket
the entire student-faculty-admission relationship and any
revisions, changes or additions should be of vital interest
to each student enrolled in the University.
This new advisory committee, to be headed by Dean
of Faculties Adam Breckenridge, has not as yet invited
student suggestions for improvement in services and re
lations. However, this may be only because of the new
ness of the committee.
Nevertheless, we feel when this committee goes into
full scale operation and begins to make a comprehen
sive analysis of student services, a door should be left
open to hear what the average student individually, and
the student body as a whole, has to contribute.
If such a provision is made possible, we as students
should insure positive results by working through the
proper channels. Specifically, we are speaking of the
voice of the student body the Student Council.
A common crv in vears oast amnnc a nortinn nt th
campus population is that the Student Council "never
does anything" and we must agree in part when we re
call past Student Councils.
However, we hasten to remind students that this
year's Council must not be condemned yet without its
ever holding a meeting. The entire membership and lead
ership has changed, as it does yearly, and will meet at
4 p.m. today for its first meeting.
We urge that students and members of the Council
make every effort to sound out specific and concrete sug
gestions that should be forwarded to the advisory com
mittee pertaining to all areas of student services and
the selection of a new dean of student affairs. The situa
tion is ideal and the opportunity is excellent. Let's not
fumble.

PROBLEM OF
THE WEEK
Sponsored by Pi Mu Epsilon
National Honorary Mathe
matics Fraternity
This week in the dorm
writes Pat.'We have had
a mania for riddles; in
fact, we have gone on
asking them for several
nights. Each of us gets
one point each nigh, for
the first riddle she
guesses, two points for the
second, three points for
the third, etc.
"The curious thing is
this: One hundred riddles
have been solved during
the week, 100 points have
been awarded each night,
and each of us has scored
. 100 points in all. None of
us has ever failed to score
at least once duiing the
evening.
"The first night I
guessed seven riddles and
Priscilla six. The last
night Prudence only
guessed three."
How many did Prudence
guess the first night?
Turn in your answers to
210 Burnett. Solution and
winners nanies will ap

SATYR
By Dick Masters
After a week of solid
but sordid greetings, you
little people will be spared
that deal here. This column
is of long standing and
makes no promises as to
intent or content. It is just
a pleasant 111 hatchie which
you will find yourself read
ing. With the niceties out of
the way we will proceed
immediately to the business
of the day.
If orientations are a n y
thing like they were before
the war when it was my
pleasure to listen and glean
little bits of valuable ad
vice, yon (by' the way this
is directed to incomers and
those of you who don't read
r haven't seen a rag in
your college career) were
obviously told that the Uni
versity is a deal where
ideas are sold to you at a
nominal fee. Certainly in
tellectual freedom and the
right to think about rioting
was mentioned.
Well, this is one cf the
psuedo-truths types that
flit about us daily. Intel
lectual freedom is a fine
phrase - it is guaranteed
by law, too. This means the
U.S. government gives you
the right to think and ex
press your ideas Got
that? Now in this country
is a thing called Freedom
of the press. You can write
what you see fit and as
long as you aren't like im
pinging upon the rights of
others or slopping about li
bel, nothing is going to hap
pen. Nothing except unintel-.
lectual freedom.
Now we come to a dis
tinction: Unintellectual free
dom gives any slob the
right to say anything. After
a close reading of the rag,
which generally entails
glancing at the Midwest's
Conservative's conservative
paper's comment on any'
given news item, the un
intellectual freedom rider
may attack. He needs no
valid information, verified
facts, or foolish red tapism
like all that. Now he may
at any given time use in
ference and intimidation
and guilt by reading habits
to smash home points con
cerning Pinko tendencies.
What I'm trying to say is
that we should revoke the
license on unintellectual
freedom. And it is high
time that you got used to
the idea that the Daily Ne
braska has been labeled as
Pinko et al. This is your
campus and now your news
paper which is being fi
nanced in part by your tui
tion shekels. It falls to you
to condone or condemn on
the basis of your opinion.
When someone mentions I
censorship for the rag, this j
becomes your fight too. Cit
izenship at the University i
is exactly like citizenship in !
a democratic society. When !
basic freedoms are threat- j
ened it falls to an informed I
public to erase or at least :
make ineffective , such?
threats. So like read this j
paper be aware of issues j
form your own opinion j
and be ready to act.
Now this sounds like an
eighth grade civics lecture,
but in the interest of a good
student paper, I re-emphasize
what seems so inherent
in our society. You are go
ing to school to know why
you are going to Berlin and
like that.
Well, kiddies, I'm afraid
that this has taken serious
overtones, so I must pro
ceed no further. Nice to be
back and very nice of Norm
to let me use this space
that could be filled by ad
vertising or back strips of
Peanuts. Good luck to a
competant staff in the com
ing year and in proofread
ing this deal that I have
done. .
Cows, pigs, horses,
barns, hay the works.
Here I am in the midst of
farming, ranching, re
search and development.
And why? Why would a
journalism student, leg
acy to his father's law
books, volunteer to " be
stranded on Ag campus
as its representative of
the Daily Nebraskan?
Why?, because I'm selfish
and lazy.
I'm selfish enough to
realize that agriculture is
a basic and important
part of America's econ
nomic, social and politi
cal set-up even though
it's a stumblefooted oaf
at the present time. I'm
selfish enough to want to
learn from the people
who know and appreciate
agriculture Eldrige, Fro
lik, Kock, Kramer, Janike
. . . and learn it where it
can be learned. That is if
Monroe Auto products
haven't po Hated the
state's beef and corn and
transformed the farmers
into factory workers. I
want to discover what
caused 75 of the agri
cultural college at Cor
nell to leave their city
backgrounds for the
farm. To try to under
stand a little about what
could be of a great con
cern to me the food that
goes into my stomach.

Career Cues:
"This age of specialization
opens special opportunities
for the well-rounded man!"
.Robert Saudek, President
Robert Saudek Associates, Inc.
"The more specialists society creates to cope with its
complexities, the easier it can be for a non-specialist to
achieve success.
If that seems paradoxical, look at it this way: the more
men who go out for specific positions on the ball club,
the more chance you have to wind up as manager!
Today's world in government, business, the arts, even
science -needs the well-rounded man. He's the mag who
can see the entire picture. ..the man who can draw on a
broad background of knowledge, evaluate the problem,
then assign the details to specialists.
The world of entertainment may seem somewhat spe
cial, but it's a case in point. These days, it demands mora
of its people than ever before. Today's musical comedy
score is often as sophisticated as grand opera. Drama
draws heavily on psychology and history. Television pro
ductions are concerned with nuclear science and political
science. If you've ever watched 'Omnibus' you may have
seen how our productions have run the gamut of a wide
range of man's interests.
So I suggest to you that even though you may concen
trate on one special field of interest, keep your viewpoint
broad. Keep your college curriculum as diversified as pos
sible. Attend lectures and concerts, the theatres and mu
seums. Above all, read and read, and listen and listen!
But pay scant heed to the oracle who says there's no route
to the top but that of specialization. I don't believe itl"
