COLUMNIST:
Suspended
Because of his statements at Wednesday's Student
Council meeting, Jim Moore, who writes "Our Sacred
Cows" in the Daily Nebraskan, has been suspended.
The Nebraskan editorially never did, nor will it ever
question Mr. Moore's right to speak for himself as a
columnist, on any subject including a lowering of the
drinking age in Nebraska. This was his right. He was a
protagonist, true, but often times protagonists ?re the
catalysts who get things done.
But, neither can the Nebraskan tolerate a person
who would deliberately distort the truth to attain goals.

A QUESTION:
Of
Integrity
Yes there is a question of integrity when a campus
figure attempts to influence opinion through newspaper
columns an public comment. Campus leaders, it is true,
have discussed this for long periods of time in the past,
behind closed doors, as usual.
Now that Jim Moore's Cow has been eliminated, our
second semester campus leaders can thankfully sit back
and, following precedent, do nothing as they give praise
to our first semester leaders for unethically ousting him.
. Yes, yearlings, it is true, one of your few trouble
makers has been wiped out, for a while at least. You may
now sit back, put in your time and have no fear that what
you do will not be criticized.
Yesterday, Dick Weill loomed from out of the past,
Gary Pokorny loomed for the first time, and Arnie Gar
son loomed from wherever he always looms from, to prac
tice effectively just what they criticized Moore for. The
Daily Nebraskan eliminated Moore from its list of column
ists. Weill, the one who said that as a Student Council
member he had no overwhelming duty to reflect student
opinion, implying that more weight should be given Ad
ministration's desires, is most clear in his intentions. It
is no wonder that one with his attitude toward the stu
dent body should criticize Moore, because Moore was rep
resenting a greater portion of this student body than any
campus leader has all year.
I wili take the liberty of saying the following because
of the unethical comments the three made toward Moore
yesterday: Pokorny probably put his name on the article
because of a personal dislike for Moore or because he
just wanted to go along for the ride. Garson, I know, does
not respect Moore as a person in addition to questioning
his ability and intentions.
It should be made clear that it is the right of these
three to question Moore's actions because he is in the
spotlight It is not their right, though, to unethically at
tack him in a newspaper column. It is not their right to
delve ino his past and open to public display unfortunate
happenings that concern him and it is not their right to be
jealous of him for being the first to publicly back the
student body where it, like it or not, wanted to be backed.
Some of things Moore talked about this year were es
pecially valuable to the end of eliminating hypocrisy on
this campus on both sides of the great divide campus
leaders vs. those the campus leaders are supposed to represent.
If Moore made mistakes or indiscretions on occasion
suffice it to say that they were no more nor worse than
those Our Campus Leaders make, but conceal. At least he
did not make any mistake they make. He did say some
thing. The last paragraph of yesterday's guest editorial was
a gem: "Furthermore, we do not feel that Moore hag an
ethical right to exert influence, either as a columnist or
spokesman, on the students of the University."
Isn't it Ironical that they err in their very last para
graph, the one with the emotional and explosive punch
that should condemn Moore forever, and it is dramatic.
Moore no more exerted influence on the students of this
school than the student who lives in an apartment and
never says a thing. He was merely saying for those stu
dents what they say to each other but do not have the
will or the opportunity to say to the University. For that,
because I did not correspond to what Our Campus Lead
ers think should be said for the Student Body, he was
criticized. What would it be like if a campus leader ac
tually did that. What would it be like to have a campus
leader who knew what the issues were, was not afraid to
speak out on them and was not afraid of Jim Moore or
others for the criticism they might make or for the trouble
they might cause? What would it be like to have a campus
leader with just that fortitude, one who rests on what he
does rather than one who thinks he is secure because he
does nothing.
This can be said for Moore: he was original; he was
courageous to say what he did; he had a good following
In the Student Body; his Cow had more readership than
anything in the Daily Nebraskan, aside from the comics,
this year; and a lot of people certainly got a kick out of
being heard through him.
Let's see now what leaders can we say and think the
same things about . . .

Is Oblivion . . .
For Able People
SMSTH1S WHERE IT HURTS?"
By Arnie Garson
Could they have made a
bad choice? I don't really
think so. Tom Brewster,
John Lonnquist and Bob
Weaver were all three ex
ceptionally qualified to lead
the Interfraternity Council
as president.
The complexion of the or
ganization will most likely
not be greatly different un
der Brewster's leadership
than it would have been
under Lonquist's or Weav
er's. But Brewster was elected
and Weaver and Lonnquist
now become hasbeens to the
IFC, little more than half
way through their college
careers.
Brewster now faces the
stimulating and awesome
challenge of directing what
has been called by many,
one of the most dynamic,
positive and constructive
organizations on campus.
But Lonnquist and Weav
er, by custom and preced
ent, no longer have a place
in this organization. Weav
er, in his speech to the IFC,
demonstrated an unques
tionably perceptive knowl
edge regarding the aims,
ideals and goals of the
IFC; past, present and fu-
Need For Bucket
Help!
The Student Council may
soon find need for bailing
bucket, if it already hasn't.
The vote to study the drink
problem set the charge, and
the activities which fol
lowed blew a hole in S.C.'s
already waivering "Ship of
State". Pseudo "Statesman
ship" brought on a so-called
"strong" action, but what
followed showed that S.C.
really wasn't interested in
a serious study of the drink
ing problem.
There are several rea
sons why S.C. is not inter
ested in conducting a good
study of drinking. 1. Lack
of time, interest, and abil
ity. 2. Desire not to stir the
issue up because of unfa
vorable publicity and the
realization that things could
be worse, some S.C. mem
bers do drink and are not
21 and by the law, could
be arrested. 3. The junior
gunners don't want to take
a stand that would not be
in the middle of the road.
Why then, did Student
Council take the project on?
Some of the reasons are as
follows: 1) Student Council
is so strong headed that'
they do not think anyone
else is able to conduct such
a study, 2) Some members
are selfish Let's do this
project so we can get credit
for it, 3) Group preserva
tion by allowing action
Another Poll, Maybe?
Dear Editor:
What is this I hear about
AWS Board dropping con
sideration for a change in
women's hours? Are they
claiming that such sup
posedly good universities as
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and Michigan are all
wrong? Or that there is no
place in Nebraska for im
provement or change? Or
are they admitting that
they are too lazy to do the
work and planning neces
sary to set up a new pro
gram? Although I'm sure t h e
arguments for "21 privi
liges" have been thoroughly
examined, 1 also feel I must
offer my thoughts to the
heap. As a graduating sen
ior I would not have been
affected if a new program
were to have been initiated.
However, I cannot ignore a
cause which I feel is right
and for which I still feci
sympathy.
During my four years at
this school,. I understand the
purposes of women's hours
to be: to encourage an
academic atmosphere by
giving girls an opportunity
to study, and to protect the
morals of college women
uh, girls.
Continued on Page 3
by another group or no ac
tion at all, S.C. might weak
en its position or place on
campus, 4) fear that a stu
dent committee would run
wild and irrational (actual
ly) personal resentment to
ward Jim Moore because
he publicly whip-lashed
them), 5) S.C. had the ma
chinery already set up to
conduct the study, 6) Such
a study might logically be
within their jurisdiction.
The last two reasons were
those given for undertaking
the study. The first five are
actually why the particular
action was taken.
Once having taken the
initial action (agreeing to
study the problem), S.C.
has little to gain and much
to lose. Respect for S.C. on
campus is in jeopardy. It
may take several years for
S.C. to regain the popular
ity and respect it held a
year ago.

THE GREAT HIGHWAY PERFORMERS Chevrolet Chevelle Chevy II Corvair Corvette
See them at your Chevrolet Showroom
ture. Lonnquist, with one
of the most enviable scho
lastic and activity records
of the junior men at NU,
consistently conveys an im
age of dynamism and force
fulness. True, the Interfraternity
Council has gained an ex
perienced, popular leader
in Brewster. Further, the
IFC as one of the best or
ganlzed, most active groups
on campus, deserves to
have Brewster's capable
hands wellding the gavel.
But an almost inherent
weakness in the IFC or any
campus organization for
that matter, is its relega
tion of the losers to t h e
hasbeen's category.
Although this is not
unique in University circles
and is a problem which con
fronts even the American
political system, University
communities, transient and
constantly changing as they
are, can, less than any
other community, afford
this luxurious malady.
The average student has
only four years in which
to give to and receive from
the activity arena. The first
of these years is usually
lost in the oblivion of the
Freshman World. The three
remaining years, for the
student who wishes to reap
the fruits of activity, are
quite short. And the closer
the t.d of the three years
comes, the more qualified
these students become as
leaders.
Now, with a year and a
half remaining at NU, Lonn
quist and Weaver havev
been cutoff from the organ
ization they were most
qualified to serve.
I don't know what these
two outstanding men have
in mind, activity-wise, for
the remainder of their days
at Nebraska, but for the
sake of IFC, other organi
zations and the student
body as a whole, I sincere
ly hope it is not the quiet
inactive world of the also
rans. The University cannot af
ford, nor should these two
students conscientiously ac
cept oblivion.
