With Spring Wiil Come Stormj
The University has now settled into a
relatively peaceful state before the storm
breaks during the legislative budget hear
ings this spring. The University from
chairman to Chancellor has been
maticulously trimming away all the fat in
the fund requests from every depart
ment and project and area in the institu
tion the last many months. Their finished
product a fat-free, lean budget was pre
sented to Governor Morrison for approval
' in a long session Friday afternoon.
CHANCELLOR HARDIN called it a
"blueprint of what the University can do
for Nebraska and Nebraska people" a
proposal for further investment in the fu
ture of this state. A future in which we
all have a stake.
Because we are such a vital part of
this blueprint, we as students should do
all we can to help the University in trans
lating itself and its needs to the people
and their legislators.
The Nebraskan plans an extensive
evaluation of the areas in which the Uni
versity is requesting financial assistance,
improvement or extension. The result will
be a series of articles examining the needs
of the University. They have asked for
tax-supported money in certain areas and
the Nebraskan will examine these areas
and attsmpt to show in what ways this
money is needed and will be used.
THESE ARTICLES will be for the in-,
formation of not only students and faculty
here but also for the people of the state
and their legislators. For this reason, we
urge each student to forward the articles
back to their homes throughout the state
so that the out state area may also read
HOLIDAY Sim ...
Idea Sweeps Organizations
THE UNIVERSITY'S
newest tradition is spread
ing like a brush fire
through the organizations
on campus. And for good
reason. The All-University
(students, faculty, admin
istrators, janitors, etc.)
Holiday Sing scheduled for
Wednesday, Dec. 19, is
the only event in which
every organization on our
three (don't forget to in
vite Med School) cam
puses is sponsoring and
can take an active part
in making it a success.
As each of the groups
holds their regular meet
ings, the subject of the
Holiday Sing is brought
up and the individual part
that the groups are to
play is discussed. So far
these discussions have
been marked by general
enthusiasm a good sign.
Student Council has of
ficially voiced its approval
of the Holiday Sing idea
by introducing and pass
ing a motion briefly out
lining a possible program
and naming certain or
ganizations which are best
equipped to do specific
tasks connected with the
project.
Builders has approved
the idea and is proceed
UNICEF ...
Sixteen Years of Assistance
ON TUESDAY the U n i t e d Nations
Children's Fund will mark its 16th Anni
versary. Many changes have taken place
in the world since the immediate post-war
era when the United Nations created
UNICEF to bring emergency relief to chil
dren suffering in war-torn countries.
UNICEF's first goal was to provide for
these children clothing, shoes, and at
least a glass of milk and some fat to be
spread on dark bread.
The initial emergency phase has long
since passed, and the millions of children
UNICEF helped then are adults now. In
their place, however, are other children
in different parts of the world, with chron
ic needs. They in turn are urgently in
need of help.
Most of the children growing up in the
developing countries today lack the neces
sities of life to which they are entitled
as human beings and which are vital if
they are to become healthy, productive
adults. Those in economically advanced
countries who get clean water by turn
ing on a tap, and cook a meal by push
ing a few buttons, may find it difficult
to grasp the meaning and extent of the
misery common in Asia, Africa, Mid
dle East and parts of Latin America. . The
causes of these conditions are not hard to
identify; they are the ever-present pover
ty, ignorance, hunger and disease, each
of which reacts on the other. These con
ditions, while hard on all, inflict particular
suffering on children with their special
needs and susceptibilities. Poverty and
ignorance give rise to hunger. The ill fed
become an easy prey for disease. The sick
cannot work and therefore remain poor.

The poor find it difficult to send their
children to school. The uneducated cannot
hope to earn enough for their needs.
IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, great
effort has been expended to break this
vicious circle by the developing countries
themselves, by the developed countries,
and by the agencies of the United Na
tions. Capital for investment has come
from all these sources to build the fac
tories, ports, roads and railroads and
for the modern agriculture necessary for
development. It is only recently, however,
that governments have begun to appre
ciate the necessity of investment in human
beings. It is as important to have healthy
and trained machine operators as it is to
have machines. Progress must start with
children, for from their ranks will come
the farmers, teachers, professional and
executive staff of tomorrow.
UNICEF has since its inception de
voted all its resources toward helping de
veloping countries to help their children.
In 1950, the emphasis of its aid changed
from emergency needs of children in war
torn.countries to long-range needs of chil
d r e n in underdeveloped countries. Al
though the majority of this aid has been
given to the fields of health and nutrition,
more emphasis is now being placed on aid
to education, vocational training and so
cial services for children.
With the experience of sixteen years
to guide its steps, UNICEF is better
equipped than ever before to contribute
to a program designed to give new life
and new hope to children in whose hands
will rest the peace and prosperity of the
world.

our evaluations. It is important that tnis
be done and that we students discuss tne
University with our parents, friends and
neighbors back home. The Council's new
Senators Program will help a great deal
if students cooperate by contacting their
senators and participate in the Senators
Projects.
Now that the Governor has the budget
and has heard the University's presenta
tion, he will examine it even more closely
with the state's tax commissioner and the
legislature's fiscal analyst. The next big
step for the University's $36.9 million bud
get request' is the legislature's budget
hearings which will begin in the spring
and could well continue for a couple weeks
of day-long sessions. During these hear
ings the Governor will make his recom
mendations for all the budget requests
from the state, including the University's.
The hearings will then be followed by de
bate in the chambers and the big day
when the legislators push their buttons
to vote approval or disapproval of the
budget committee's recommended alloca
tion from the general state fund for the
University. This will happen sometime in
July.
UNTIL THAT TIME the University
will be appearing before the people and
legislators through the Chancellor, admin
istrators, faculty and students.
Take or send today's Nebraskan home
and do the same with all of the following
articles which will appear on the Univer
sity and its needs. It is the best way you
can help us help the University. You know
where the University needs additional
money. Do the people back home really

I Mason-Sub Rosa
1 Comparison Weak
To the Editor:
The letter submitted by
James K. Taylor and pub-
1 lished on Dec. 3, 1962, is
plainly a poor attempt to
I defame and discredit the
Masonic organization by
comparing it to the sub
rosa organizations of our
campus. It is a shame he
has directed his mud
throwing campaign to-
ward an organization
which has been respons-
ible for the construction
i and maintenance of hos-
pitals throughout the coun-
I try which are used pri-
marily to benefit crippled
children. In . addition, ma-
sons perform thousands of
unpublicized benefits for
I society.
I Sub rosas comparison?
Why did you not choose
I to compare the modern
I day campus sub rosa to
early Christians, Taylor?
1 Maybe it is because the
only similar goals were
survival? On what basis
I can you compare the ma-
sons and sub rosas? Ma-
sonic membership is not
secret; any mason will ad-
I mit his affiliation.
Taylor has extracted a
I portion of his history text
without conveying the au-
s thor's meaning. If he
I would continue to read
his text, he would disvoc-
er that although the Anti-
Masonic party sought to
endorse Henry Clay as a
I presidential candidate, he
strongly refused by telling
I the Anti-Masons they were
I "in the pursuit of pow-
I er . . . without regard to
I the means of acquiring
1 it." In defeating his own
case, Taylor so aptly
I quoted, "anti-masonry
took its place among the
strange enthusiasms for
which Western New York
was noted."
Castro has outlawed ma-
sonry in Cuba. Does this
mean that 50,000 masons
in Cuba are "anti-demo-
I cratic" as you quote? On
1 the contrary, the opposite
is probably true. George
Washington was a Mason
as were many of our
presidents.
I By expounding his un-
I founded opinions and im-
I plications, Taylor has dis-
played his ignorance and
1 prejudice. In the future,
I respectfully suggest that
Taylor might open his his-
I tory text with an unbiased
I mind. His vain effort to
defend the campus sub
a rosas by casting doubt on
I others falls flatly.
I Sincerely yours,
Judson B. Douglas III

PEACE ON LIPS and a
gun in the inner pocket
this sums up China's
actions in recent years.
China, who unleashed an
' undeclared war on India's
northern border, Oct. 20,
still swears by the sacred
five principles of peaceful
co-existance. The affable
and sweet tongue of Chi
na's "double-talk" has
now been laid bare for
the whole world to see.
In the past China has ad
dressed many sweet
words to India.
History bears witness
today that "panch sheel"
(five principles of co-existance)
is at best a mat
ter of convenience.
THE CHINESE CON
CEPT of co-existance is
an invitation to trust them
implicitly rather than re
spect for the territorial
integrity of the other
country. Once trust
has been "established"
China's next step is to in
sist that the other coun
try trust China's "good"
intentions. With this trust
China imposes an obliga
tion not to question
China's action and mo
tives. China is sure of its
motives. Mao has pin
pointed them in his
"Problems of War and
Strategy." He has said:
"Every communist must
grasp in truth that politi
cal power grows out of
the barrel of a gun! We
can even say that the
whole world can be re
molded only with the
gun. As we are advocates
of the abolition of war,
we do not desire war; but
we can only be abolished
through war in order
to get rid of the gun we
must first grasp it in our
hand."
There is something of
the spider's invitation to
the flv in these words.
WITH THIS IN MIND,
I wonder how much sin
cerity (if any) China has
in their unilateral cease
fire. To me it seems like
Peking's usual method of
causing confusion y per
verting the meaning of
words and making state
ments which bear no rela
tion to reality. It fitted in
with the pattern of their
deceptive propaganda. In
fact, the cease fire order
tut, . . V I 1tS..JtL . n
by China's government
was a diabolic attempt to
put India on the horns of
a dilemma. The dilemma
was that if India attacks
the Chinese forces during
this period (that is before
the date of the announced
withdrawal by China's
army), we would have
been accused of having
provoked China to further
action.
If on the other hand,
India goes on preparing
her defenses during this
period, China will claim
that we forced their hand
and further action.
What China really
wants is to stop all aid
to India and force India
to stop her preparations
to defend its territory dur
ing the cease fire period
so that "the Chinese arm
ies will have ample time
to regroup and assess the
situation. At the end of
the cease fire period, Chi
na will find some excuse
to renew its aggression
against India. By stopping
the fight China (since
they have nothing to lose)
might have hoped to con
fuse India and dull the
Indian people's enthusi
asm for defense of their
country.

TAKES GOOD CARE OF YOU
CkicdSO i"-lltvS
JAGOPALACHARI, governor-general
of India in
1947 and leader of the
pro-West Swatantra party
in India, the main rea
son for China's action was
the Anglo-American aid
which India is receiving.
When China found that
India was getting closer
to the West and the West
was getting nearer and
nearer to India, they per
haps felt that it was not
good to push on further.
China might have der
cided on a cease fire
when they found that
their "partymen" in India
the communists were
not really as powerful as
they thought and that the
trade unions and workers
were not divided as they
had hoped.
WHATEVER MIGHT
HAVE BEEN the reason,
whether the cease fire
gesture was friendly or
vicious, India should take
full advantage of it. In
dia should not get into
this "bobby-trap" by trust
made by the People I
Government in Peking.
Neither the preparation of
India's defenses or furth
er actions which could
drive China out of India's
sacred land should, bt
ceased or delayed.
