"1 can't wait to throw Gordon Hall
into the gas cnamber myself! He'll go
out to the music of Muzak!"
"Hall is never rabid, and he never
tires to magnify his significance hy say
ing the extremists are taking over the
country. He has a sense of proportion."
These two statements, from an
American Nazi and a White House assis
tant, respectively, have been applied to
Gordon Hall.
Hall, a lecturer on "bigotry in th
United States, is appearing this Sunday
in Lincoln.
Featured in an article in the Dec. 8
issue of The Saturday Evening Post, Hall
is equally outspoken about bigots on the
left and the right.
"Learn all you can about our form
of democracy . . . what makes it tick.
Learn, above all, to tell the difference
between a liberal and a Communist, and
between a conservative and an extrem
ist." Thought-provoking, certainly, in this
land where such groups as the John
TILE 13...

Birch Society (which Hall opposes, and
vice versa) are taken so seriously.
The thing to do would be to have
him speak on the campus, wouldn't it?
Funniest thing they didnt want
him. The Rev. Charles Stephen, minister
of the Unitarian Church, which is spon-
soring Hall, inquired with the various
proper authorities, Union committees,
etc., until he was blue in the face, but
was politely informed that we weren't in-
terested. Something to do with the budget
coming up? I
At any rate, Gordon HaTl, a man in
whom a national magazine was interested I
enough to do a 4-page story with pic- 1
tures, will be available to you, commit- I
tees notwithstanding.
Sunday, he will make 3 appearances f
in Lincoln. At 11 a.m.,, he will give a ser-
mon at the Unitarian Church, 6300 A. i
At 12:20 p.m.,. he appears on Rita Shaw's i
"Cabbages and Kings" on KOLN-TV. Then
at 8 p.m., back to the Unitarian Church.
Come on, now the goblins wont
get you if you listen to him I
Cal Students Seek GeiiuinessI
Copper gates, a greek theater, a 300
foot bell tower, Strawberry Creek, shaded
paths and splashing fountains combine to
make the University of California at
Berkeley unique especially in compari
son to Nebraska.
It's a campus that many University
students dream about. Built on the side
of a mountain, and enjcy.'ng the mild
California climate, "Car' enjoys year
round lush vegetation and terrific views
of the Bay area around San Francisco.
But something is lacking, something
very basic. Without exception, the more
than twenty students I talked with, in
cluding the Editor of the Daily Californ
ian and the chairman of the student sen
ate, did not like the school. Period.
Several of those who commented on
"Cal" were former Nebraska students.
They are all all in the process of
transfering back to Nebraska.
Why? Most University students feel
the song "There is no place like Nebras
ka" is hypocritical, to say the least. Aft
er all, what do we have here? Parking
lots, buildings jammed together like so
many blades of grass, parking lots, un
imaginiative planning, and parking lots.
Many times students have heard the
comment, 'If only we could , . ." But
Cal has all these material "necessities"
and still a visitor hears, "If only we
could . . ."
What are they wishing for? An at
mosphere of learning, relaxation, genuine
ness, and individual treatment.
They wish for classes of a decent
size. A physics class I attended, taught
by Dr. Teller, internationally-famous for
his work in the field, had no less than
1,200 students attending the lecture
They wish for time to enjoy their
beautiful campus, to take advantage of
the fantastic extra-curricular educational
opportunities (visits by renown symphon-
by jim moore
ies and opera stars, famous political fig
ures, and current popular singers) avail
able. "But all we have time to do is study,
study, study" said one Cal student.
This is not one isolated case of a frus
trated student. This attitude was preve
lent in all the students I got to know,
or spoke with.
As 1 walked through Sather Gate,
the hallmark of Berkeley, into Sather
Square, four students were standing on
soap boxes delivering speeches.
One student advocated the repeal of
the federal narcotics law, another the
abolishment of organized religion, the
third the benefits of communist society,
and the fourth the organization of a new
socialist league.
While listening to the "narcotic"
speaker, Jesus Christ walked hy. At least
he looked like Christ. The hair, the heard,
the clothes all just like Christ's. Odd?
"Why no, this is only the beginning . .. .
wait til you see Buddha, Confucious and
President Kennedy!" a friend said.
Perhaps all this merely reflects the
"intellectual freedom" and courage of
students, I asked hopefully. "No, they're
all out just showing off," a friend told
me. "Most of these new leagues being
formed are just a fraudulent way to get
money," he explained. Most of the other
students around agreed.
This does not necessarily apply to
freshmen and sophomores. Even seniors
have this feeling in addition to classes
of 300-400.
It occurred to me that maybe we
aren't as bad off at Nebraska as many
of us had suspected. By the time I was
through seeing Berkeley the real Berk
eley I was pretty proud of old NU.
But not all of "Cal" was bad in com
parison to Nebraska. Because of the ex
treme size of the school (30,000), they
don't have "gunners!"

For the last two years,
IVe selected for the Dai
ly Nebraskan a list of the
best films shown in Lin
coln during the preceding
year, and I couldn't Tceep
from doing it a third time.
However, there has been
such a large number of
fine films shown in Lin
coln during 1962 that I
couldn't select just a "Ten
Best,1 rather a "Dozen
Best.' 1962 was an excep
tional film year.
