COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT . . .
We Congratulate
-"AT THE President's request . . ."
This was a line that presented our
Chancellor Clifford Hardin with a tribute
that he has certainly earned as a Univer
sity administrator who was devoted his
life to acquiring the finest education pos
sible for American youth.
The tribute was in recognition of Dr.
Hardin and it appointed him to a nine
man committee to take a needed look at
our nation's $4 billion-a-year foreign aid
program. The Chancellor, as well as the
other members of the committee, was
contacted personally by President Ken
nedy to serve on the committee, which
will be known as "The Committee to
Strengthen the Security of the Free
World."
THE IMPORTANCE of this commit
tee, which will meet in January, has been
recognized by national and world leaders
since the President set it up last week un
der the leadership of Gen. Lucius Clay
this recognition has even become the ma
terial for national editorial cartoonists
such as Herblock and Mauldin (see else-
A CASE LY TRAGEDY . . .
Safety Program Begins
On November 20th a
friend was killed. Steve
Cass, a member of Inno
cents Society, respected
campus leader, and friend
of countless students
ended his life of service
to others in a tragic acci
dent near his home in
Ravenna. Steve was one
of three hundred and
eighty persons who have
lost their lives on Ne
braska highways in 1962.
No one knows how it
happened, or why . . .
it just happened. While
we religiously hope that
even a tragedy such as
Steve's death ultimately
has a purpose, we cannot
escape the fact that it was
a tragedy, nor can be for
get the shock and regret
we experienced when it
occured.
As a campus leader,

Steve was dependable and
energetic, as a friend, he
was irreplacable. He was
treasurer of the Delta
Upsilon fraternity, the
vice president of Kosmet
Klub, the second vice
president of the Student
Council and a member of
Sigma Tau and Chi Ep
silon honorary fratern
ities. As a member of In
nocents he was singularly
responsible for the new
and much lauded Home
coming display program.
His primary value to all
these organizations was
the inspiration that he
provided to those who
worked with him.
It is impossible to do
justice to any human be
ing by listing his achieve
ments and honors, but in

The committee will undertake an im
mediate review of our controversial mili
tary and economic assistance to countries
to determine whether the level and dis
tribution of these programs is contributing
materially to the security of the United
States and is directed to specific and
attainable goals of economic and political
stability in the free world.
The stature of some men can be, it
is said, revealed by the company in which
he is found. Chancellor Hardin's, the only
educator on the committee, stature cer
tainly is great if this is true. Others on
the committee are former Secretary of
State Robert Lovett; AFL-CIO president
George Meany; Edward Black, retiring
president of the World Bank; Robert An
derson, a former secretary of the treas
ury; L. F. McCollum, president of the
Continental Oil company; and Herman
Phleger, a San Francisco attorney.
THE NEBRASKAN wishes to congrat
ulate and commend Dr. Hardin on this
fine appointment.
small tribute to a friend
and colleague, we hope
that we might be able to
make others more con
scious of the danger
awaiting them on the
highways this coming va
cation. On November 20, ten
thousand students traveled
home to celebrate the
Thanksgiving vacation
with their families. One
did not return. This com
ing Friday, these same
ten thousand students will
anxiously begin a similar
trip. This time several
may not return. The ris
ing traffic fatalities only
casually concern most of
us until a friend or rela
tive becomes a statistic,
and then we realize how
insane and unnecessary
this tragic waste of life
actually is. This is a costly
way to learn a simple les
son. Traffic safety is not
a complicated thing it
only requires that we
think. The overwhelming
majority of traffic acci
dents are caused by
driver negligence your
negligence not by me
chanical failure or physi
cal defects.
This week you will wit
ness an extensive cam
paign designed to impress
upon you the urgent need
for responsible conduct on
our state's highway.
Through the Daily Ne
braskan. the Nebraska
Union and state news
papers and radio stations
an accelerated campaign
for safety will be initiated.
The success of this cam
paign depends not upon
the number of editorials
or news broadcasts, but
rather, it depends upon
you the individual stu
dent making up your
mind that you and your
friends will not become
statistics. Talk safety, en
courage safety, and above
all, practice responsible
methods of highway con
duct during your vacation
trip. Let's not let tragedy
mar another vacation.

Motion Denies
Free Association
I To the Editor:
I How can Steve Chris-
tensen speak of the prin
i ciple of free association
i when the motion that he
advocates denies this very
right to local chapters,
i The incidents at other
i schools that led up to this
situation were ones in
which the local chapters
were censored for at-
tempting to utilize their
I right of free association
1 by despotic national poli-
cy made and controlled
by Southern universities.
No one is attempting to
talk away anyone's right
of free association; to the
contrary, forces are being
i brought to bear to return
various rights where they
s rightfully belong, at the
local level. v
Can it be that Chris-
tensen fears that once
these disgraceful clauses
jf are removed he will
j no longer have a conven
j ient excuse for his atti-
tude? His comments tend
s to remind one of Walker
and Barnett. In this pres
1 ent era, a "white only"
1 clause in a fraternity or
sorority constitution can
only bring discredit on
that organization by an
il nouncing to the world that
ee here is a group of irra-
tional, irresponsible and
E narrow-minded individu
I als.

The editor of the Miz

special praise and thanks
from the Daily Nebras
