Tuesday,
NAACP:
Poor
The lack of leadership lias nearly condemned the Na
tional Association for the Advancement of Colored People
-(NAACP) to death before it got off its feet.
Approximately 40 students from the University of Ne
braska and Wesleyan University 'convened at the Malone
Center last Friday night to consider the .establishment of a
college NAACP chapter -which would be composed of in
terested students from three colleges the University, Wes
leyan University and Union College.
Many of the students there went as observers with no
Mention of joining the group. And those who went to join
went away with doubts in their minds. '
Certainly the first sign the observer would recognize
as a reason for not affiliating with the group was the lack
of colored people in attendance. There was about one Ne
gro for every three white people. If Negroes are tiot in
terested in the problems they face, then why should white
people bother to help them, even if they are interested?
In the evening's proceedings one Negro commented on
the poor Negro showing saying that he was embarrassed,
and that more Negroes should be encouraged to attend.
OX course, many NU Negroes were playing football in Mis
souri that weekend. This, again, is -evidence of poor plan
ning and leadership.
The adult sponsors did Tittle to generate Interest among
the people who were there. One lady read a portion of an
NAACP manual of organization, but this could hardly
arouse much interest. II anything her dissertation ended
on a humerous note, for one of the objectives she read
from the book called for the elimination of discrimination
in college athletics. Nothing could be farther from the
truth at the University.
The manual also calls for members of the NAACP to
eliminate discriminatory clauses in fraternity and sorority
constitutions. If this is what the group would like to ac
complish, then they should organize themselves as a stu
dent activity at the University and pressure the Student
Council to act on such a measure.
It is not presumptive to say, that the NAACP would
have trouble getting the Council to discuss the problem.
If this "clause elimination" is the goal, at least in part,
of the NAACP, then they should organize as a University
group with University sanction, and forget about the or
ganization of a group which would encompass three cam
puses. GARY LACEY

That the administrators of
this fair University take a
rather asinine view of the
student body need hardly be
debated if we look at the
motivations and inferences
that can be drawn from re
cent actions.
An illustrious Bed "Hood
stopped me on the street a
few days ago and with great
flailing of his arms ex
pounded his view that 1 was
an i n s i p i d rabble rouser
and that student-administrator
relationships "had never
been better."
But I don't really feel
that student-administrator
relationships even exist.
Things just come down
from On High.
There are several inci
dents which Teflect this at
titude of indifference to stu
dent opinion. Attitudes that
point out that student ma
turity is hardly even con
sidered in University policy
making circles. Attitude
that reflect administrators'
views that their student body
lacks Tcsponsiblllity and
self-control.
In ahort, attitudes that
how that the Student Af
fair Deans feel that the stu
dent body, if permitted any
emblance of freedom,
would automatically act like
naughty children.
First, lot's look at College
Nights.
Last fall, after he had
sponsored the first College
Night of the Beason, Jeff
Pokomy wbb summoned
Into The Presence and sub
tlcy told that If he continued
In sponsoring College Nights
he ""might not be around
long."
For nearly a month this
Jail Jeff attempted to work
wlfh administration to con
elude a compromise. But
Dean Ross consistently re
fused to discuss terms for
possible agreement.
An obvious example of
the close workings of stu
dents and adminstralors.
Another example that
BhowB the peculiar kinds of
contempt that ndminiHtra
ton hold toward the ntudmit
femSy was a singularly in
sipid letter sent nut by
Nov. 5, 1963
Sfarf
Sacred Cows
Deans Snyder and Hall
gren last fall concerning so
rority participation in Col
lege Nights.
In the usual administra
tive gobbledy-gook, these
two deans reminded the so
rorities that the custom of
mandatory attendance at a
party "which does not meet
University standards" was
terribly naughty and "gave
new students the wrong im
pression of University life.
Once again, we had to be
saved from ourselves.
The tone of the letter was
that of a grade-school princi
pal reprimanding a second
grader for wanting to go to
the bathroom when he knew
that "potty time" wasnt for
another 15 minutes.
Either the Administration
wus scared of the self-con-taminution
we students
were about to reap upon
ourselves or they felt they
hud to save us from reality.
If college students are not
mature enough to accept
responsibility for the conse
(uionceH of their actions or
If they are not morally sta
ble enough to venture forth
into reality, we might ques
tion what the function uf the
University really is.
When talking with Dean
Robs last week, he himself
pointed out that the Univer
sity imposes extra-legal re
strictions on its students
concerning liquor.
Did you know thut even
If a student is 21, and is
with a group of students
who are all 21 or over, If
that group represents an or
gunlxed house or living unit
according to University
regulutons thut group is sub
ject to punishment?
This g rain of windom

To question the Regents
is nearly akin to question

they have been thinking of?
'Certainly not the student.

The whole trouble, as far

Christine had dated a mem

Just Reporting News
Dear Editor:
Last week in this spot a
letter declared that, in es
sence, it was not fee Daily
Nebraska's job to ""create
issues."
I would just like ta say
feat it is a newspaper's job
to report the news. If hat
news happens to be an is
sue, then that issue should
be reported. Just because it
is the first time it is pre
sented doesnl mean that
the paper is creating an is
sue. Furthermore, that issae
should be brought up again
and agaia ac many times
as there are new develop
ments ot just and
( thea tactfully avoided.
It is my feeling that the
letter was referring to the
recent articles on our ra
cial problems. I cant be
lieve that ie Nebraskan
was ""creating'" an issue
since the issue has been go
ing on 'quietly for over one
hundred years and explo
sively for 'Over three years.
I say ""our'" racial prob
lem because this issue con
cerns every one of us im
mediately and directly. Just
because we are north of the
Line idoesnl mean we are
iret from those terrible
prejudiced attitudes 'Of our
Southern neighbors.
We Jiave problems in ur
wa back yard and I say .
