EDITORIAL OPINION
Intramural Program Fine;
But Students Need Voice
.... After viewing the start of a new intramural program
we have reached certain conclusions which prompt com
ment in an area where an opinion should be aired.
One of the criticism of the college students today
across the nation Is that we do not pay enough attention
to our physical growth as we endeavor to promote the in-
' tellectual aging of the mind. Such criticisms have given
rise to the president's youth fitness program initiated to
encourage better physical education among the nation's
youth.
. In this light the University intramural program for
men has certainly done more than a little to get the col
lege man out on the playing field or court and thereby
teach the importance of good health. Ed Higgenbotham,
director of men's intramurals should be recognized for
organizing a total of . 19 competitive sports for men.
However, we question the policy making set-up in
this area.
Nearly every organized men's living unit was sur
prised to find the intramural football program (one of
the most competitive and popular sports) completely re
vamped when they returned to school this fall. Why was
this new game, a far cry from the old sport, Introduced
without warning? There have been several criticisms on
the new game with no place to lodge them. This change
is so drastic that the new sport should not be called foot
ball it all, rather, basketball with goals, as one student
put it.
Perhaps these are only growing pains of a new sport
and will cure themselves over a period of time. Be that
as it may, this immediate situation is not the big com
plaint. We propose that the participating teams have a
chance to voice their opinions and vote in a democratic
method on matters that concern them so soundly.
Where there is little or no chance to appeal the de
cision of those in authority, there is dissention, be it gov
ernment or intramurals. Fraternity and independent
teams should not be quieted when an opinion or protest
comes about Wt reiterate to point out that our present
set-up has the potential of being one of the best found
anywhere. Only one ingredient is missing. Equality?
Staff Views
Due to the slightly press
ing requests from certain
of my acquaintances, I
have been persuaded to
abandon the rather garbled
name which formerly ban
nered this column. I have
chosen : to

Goldwater aad his conserv

being to comment open
very distressing element
whkh I have bserved
about this commnnity of col

ing of the complete ignor
ance concerning the current
events of the campus, na
tion and world whkh a
great number of tbe sta
dents display.
Now, I am not contending
that this is a situation
unique to our campus, it's
probably fairly universal,
but it becomes quite alarm
ing when yoa sit in on the
interviews of a representa
tive group of the campus
and very few of them know
who is tbe Secretary of De
fense or that a man who
was as closely associated
with the students as Van
Westover is no longer on
this campus. I am referring
to tbe Prince Kosmet inter
views in which only a small
number of the over 40 young
men, largely juniors and
seniors, interviewed were
not literally "backed up
against the wall" by such
questions.
I'm quite sure tbess fel
lows have access to at least
one daily newspaper and
they cast escape the "five
minutes of news every hour
a the hour" evea if their
radios are tamed to mk

least, afford them tome en

In Passing
By Ann Moyer
dilemna of the campus
world. And- I: know the
Prince candidates are not
the only ones that are
guilty. The lack of current
knowledge is observable
every day in conversations
and contacts with "group
livers."
Students make the ex
treme mistake of losing coi
tact with everything on the
outside once they arrive on
the campus. It is too easy to
get involved with one par
ticular group or organiza
tion or to get so wrapped
up in studying that you
don't take time out to 'learn
something. I am a firm be
liever in the theory that an
education doesn't come ex
clusively from books. Tbe
only 'element one gleans
from a book or a lecture is
a set of principles or theo
ries, which never do him
any good unless he applies
them to his situations in
everyday life. And one of
the first and most basic
theories that a college stu
dent should know is that
knowledge is endless and
continuous, meaning that a
little more is added with
each day. That is one very
good reason for "keeping
current" so to speak, be
sides tbe fact that if we
aren't aware of what's go
ing on or aren't interested
in being aware, the sky may
fan and ruin our Utopia of
ignorance and bliss. Aware
ness is something which we
cant leave for the other
guy to do.
I'm sure we would all be
amazed at the difference if
we really made a big effort
to be aware ef what was go
ing ea around as and ob
serve the things available
to aid as.
For example, I am think
ing, at (he moment, of the
sign which is posted beside
my desk which carefully ex
plains and Illustrates that
aU questions regarding the
Cornhusker should be di
rected to someone la the
adjoining office. Yet there
is a constant stream of peo
ple who come in the Rag
office daily, read the slga
carefully and then tnri to
me with questions concern
ing tbe Cornhusker.
Students, rise and shine,
the next generation is com
ing fast and who's going to
answer their questions?

With the KansasMiisoun

months away, the Daily
Kansan of the University of

ial step to halt the feud be
tween the two schools that

The first feud flared lat

number one spot in national
ratings. Later la the year
when tbe KU basketball
team visited the MUsou
campus for a nationaDy
televised game, a near-riot
broke out oa the playing
floor before thousands of
viewers.
Tbe feud, the editorial
pointed out. "has outgrown
the boundaries of innocence
and good-fun and threat
ens to undermine the foun
dation of good sportsman
ship which should be a nec
essary ingredient in any
athletic contest"

Football Fan
Wants Action
Dear Editor:
Disappointment and an
ger r e 1 g r e d supreme
among some thirty thou
sand football fans as they
journeyed homeward Sat
urday evening. The typi
cal discussion among
these peoph was, "What
new era?" Why did a
team with the power,
speed and talent of the
Huskers falter so easily?
The problem seems to
stem far deeper than
what appears on the sur
face. The type of football
played Saturday was of
what has been called "the
old school." This is exact
ly what gave such schools
as Oklahoma their mighty
teams of the past, but the
past is gone; conserva
tism has no place on to
day's gridiron. The train
ing that was gained and
learned by our coach
must be given up for the
razzle-dazzle, wide open,
gambling game which has
taken precedent on t h e
gridiron in the last five
years. The best example
is that of the profession
als seen Sunday on tele
vision. The desire of the fans is
not only to win, but to see
football played with all its
c o 1 o r a n d enthusiasm.
There are many incidents
which could be criticized
at this time, but will not
be unless needed for em
phasis. The fan wants to
see a spirited team fired
no and readv to fiht with
all their strength, and this

I suppose October 12 is juut another day to you. You get up in
the ordinary way and do all the ordinary things you ordinarily
do. You have your breakfart, you walk your ocelot, you ro to
classes, you write home for money, you burn the dean in effiirr,
you watch Howdy-Doody, and you go to bed. And do you giv
one little thought to the fact that October 12 is Columbus
Day? No, you do not.
Nobody thinka about Columbus those days. Let ua, there
fore, paur for a moment and retell his ever-gloriou, endlessly
stirring Mga.

CbritopLer Columbus was born in Genoa on August 25, 1451.
His fatfitr, Ralph T. Columbus, mas in the three-minute auto
wanh gari. His mother, Eleanor (ftwifty) Columbus, was a
sprinter. Chrigtopher was an only child, e&oept for Lis four
brothers and tijdit sixers. With his father but-y all day at the
auto wah and bis mother eouttatitJy away at track tueete,
young CaAmuAmm was left pretty much to bis own devices.
However, tl Ud did not sulk or brood. He was an avid reader
and sfient all bis wLiitg Lours iittmerfced in a book. Uufortu
ttately, Ure was only cue book in Genoa at the time Care cf
tive Harm, by Aristotle and after Mrveral yeaK of reading Cart
ef the Harm, Columbus grew ret-tJas. !x alien rumor reaclted
huu that there was asother Sunk in Barcelona, off he ran M
tuft as his fat little tes would carry Lira.
The rumor, ak, proved fale. TIms only book in Barcelona
was Cuidar un CoImIIo by AritotJe, which proved to be nothing
inore tlian a Spanicn translation of Cart of the Hone.
Bitterly disappointed, Coiumlws began to dreain of goinsj
to Iudia whiere, according to legend, then were thousands of
books. But the only way to go to India was on horseback, and
atr so many years of reading Care of 0 Harm, Columbus
bever wanted to dap eyes on a bone again. Then a new thought
struck him: perhaps it was jyiUe to get to India by sea!
fired with bis revJutimsry new idea, Columbus need to
the court of Ferdinand and Lobelia on Lis little fat legs (Colum
tu, tlioufdi oix feet tall, Was plagued w ith little fat legs aU his
life) and fApsvied Lis cure with such fervor that the rulers were
pwuadJ.
On October 12, 1402, Columbus set foot oa the New World,
TL Wiowiiig ytzz he retircied to Hpuin witii a cargo of wwkn
never before seen in Europe 'pices and metals and plants aod
flonm and mtmt wiiadrvus of all UAmxol Oh, what a sen
lion tobacco caused in Europe! The filter had long sLnee bea
invented (by Aristotle, euriouly eoouglj) but nobody knew
what to do with it Now Columbus, the Great Dkooverer,
made still another great discovery: be took a filter, put tobacco
In front of it, and invented the world's first filter eigarettef
Through the centuries filters have been steadily improved
and ao has tobacco, until today we have achieved tbe ultimate
in the filter cigarette Marlboro, of court! Oh, what a pi
of work is Marlboro! Great tobacco, great filter, grt smoke!

Delta Sig
Blasts Rag
For many years a situ
ation has existed on this
campus that has frustrat
ed and angered two
groups. Thir indignity
reached new heights in
Monday's Rag in the ar
ticle on the Kosmet Klub
Fail Show finalists. It is
my hope that this letter
will enlighten the minds
of the student body, es
pecially the Rag staff.
There are two frater
nities on this campus with
verv similar names, Del
ta Sigma Phi and Delta
Sigma Pi. However, they
are as different as social
and professional. Even
though both groups are
recognized ' respected,
their purposes are differ
ent. Because of this inher
ent difference Delta Sig
ma Phi does not appreci
ate the continual mix-up
of identities. The Rag
staff has only been right
when both groups are
mentioned in the same
sentence.
It is our sincere desire
that this situation does
not reoccur.
