We Bow Down
The Daily Nebraskan must bow in contrition for se
veral misreported facts reported in its columns concern
ing the Junior Panhellenic and Junior Inter-Fraternity
Council.
In a letter to the editor, seen in the Campus Opinion
column elsewhere on this page, Jean Probasco, president
of Panhellenic, outlined the plan of a get-out-the-vote
campaign to be sponsored by the Junior Panhellenic and
Junior IFC.
To further humble the Daily Nebraskan, an editorial
was written on the subject, using the misreported facts.
Again we bow in contrition.
However, a few things should be pointed out. In the edi
torial, printed October 1, the Daily Nebraskan called for
making this a campaign among the University students,
rather than the whole city of Lincoln. This the two groups
are doing.
The Daily Nebraskan felt that going out into the whole
city was out of the scope of the organizations' purposes,
and that taking on the campus would be a large project
in itself.
Secondly, the Daily Nebraskan wondered at. the effect
iveness of signs and banners and use of the card section,
As it stands now the campaign will be carried out by
signs in front of fraternity and sorority houses not sport
ing a Homecoming display. Also there will be the card
section, used at the Homecoming game.
It seems to the Daily Nebraskan that a much more
effective campaign would consist of talking with the stu
dents over 21 personally and urging them to register
and vote. This would make some impression on these per
sons. The immediate and substantial importance of the
forthcoming state and national election demands the con
sideration of all groups of American voters.
Indeed, this election may well create more hard feel
ing, divergent belief and partisan turmoil than any other
in recent times. The issues at stake are fundamental. The
convictions they generate in the minds of the electorate
are powerful.
The Student Council will hold a mock election October
28. This, too, will give the students the opportunity to ex
press their opinions.
With Sorrow
Word was received here yesterday of the death of
Nancy Miller, University alum, president of Mortar Boards
in 1962-63. She was killed in an automobile accident in
California where she was teaching.
The death of young persons, to outstanding persons
who are and are to become leaders in the world of alum
nae, is sorrowful and tragic.
It is with deep sorrow that the Daily Nebraskan notes
this untimely death.
At this time it might be noted that two years ago an
Innocent, a member of the honored honorary at the same
time as Miss Miller, was also killed in an automobile
accident. Steve Cass too might have been destined to be
a world leader.
Last year a member of the same class, another out
standing student, Jane Fauquet was killed in an automo
bile accident.
The world cannot stand the death of its leaders at a
pace such as this.

Lincoln is a recreational
wasteland.
Notwithstanding innumer
able cultural opportunities,
and assorted governmental
institutions, our fair city
has little to offer.
Evidently the city fathers
have excluded baneful in
fluences so as to insure
our sobriety. The escape
valve is the Interstate.
Then again, perhaps this
is the inevitable conse
quence of being situated in
a quasi-metropolitan area.
However, there are smaller
towns with greater facili
ties. Kids have a great time in
Lincoln: midget baseball,
midget football, swim clubs,
and the like. College folks
make their own fun. They
rent a farm, they rent a mo
tel, or they rent a television.
Consequently, the Univer

their efforts have been note
worthy. They conceive of an ice
rink, or a mall on "S"
Street. They expand the
Student Union, and they
sponsor big-time entertain
ment. Meanwhile, the folks
downtown censor the for

question of liquor by the
drink as a Communist plot.

Imagine some night spot

Facts Wrong
Dear Editor:
The article in the Daily
Nebraskan September 30
about the Junior Panhcl-lenic-Junior
IFC project in
cluded several misreported
facts.
The story stated the proj
ect was "to work jointly to
promote complete registra
tion and voting in the Lin
coln area." This is not the
goal which was presented
at the meeting. The proj
ect is aimed at the student
body.
Several ideas were pro
posed to make the project
.a successful one. We repeat
these were only proposals.
Yet the Daily Nebraskan
printed some of these pro
posals as definite plans,
such as use of the card sec
tion on Band Day. At the
time it was specified that
we did not know at which
game we would be using
this section. We now have
definite plans to use the
card section at the Home
coming game, October 17.
Naturally we were sur
prised to read the October
1st editorial, also based up
on misreported facts.
The editorial states "One
wonders where this fits in
to the perspective of their
organizations." To "prove"
this statement the Panhel
lenic Creed was printed.
Omitted, however, was the
last line which reads "Good
college citizenship as a prep
aration for good citizenship
in the larger world of alum
nae days is the ideal which
shall guide our chapter ac
tivities." Certainly the project would
"fit into the perspective"
of this organization on the
basis of the Creed's last
sentence, as well as the por
tion "for whole-hearted co
operation with our college's
ideals for student life."
We hope that this letter
will clear up the miscon
ceptions which readers may
have received. And we will

Sure, everybody's got a career program. But we think you'll find
ours a little more stimulating, more rewarding, and at least in
triguing enough to spend the next minute or so reading about it.
We call it our "Career Acceleration Program." In it, you'll work on
such advanced projects as an avionics system for supersonic aircraft,
a guidancenavigation system for the Apollo Command Module and
LEM, and a new guidance system for theTitan 1 1 1 space launch vehicle.
Seven hours a day you'll work on a specific project. You'll spend one
hour each day in formal class work. These classes include courses in
Inertial Instruments, Inertial Guidance, Digital Computers, Advanced
Transistors, Advanced Servomechanisms, Integrated Circuits, Space
Mechanics, plus other mathematics and undergraduate disciplines
as required.
We also have a Tuition Refund Plan that pays all of your tuition costs
upon satisfactorily completing college-level courses of study under
taken voluntarily. Our "in-plant" evening educational program
offers additional opportunities for technical improvement.
If you are completing your BS or MS degree in EE, ME, Math or

We're Not Ready
To the Editor:
In the October 1 editorial,
the Daily Nebraskan stated
that the Junior Panhellenic
and the Junior Inter-Fraternity
Council wer going
to sponsor a get-out-the-vote
ca. i aign.
Speaking for th. Junior
IPC only, I suggest that the
Daily Nebraskan assumed
that we were going to spon
sor such an event. The fol
lowing things should be
noted:
1) The Junior IFC has not
elected officers yet, and,
consequently, there a r e no
committees as of now which
would be able to deal with
a get-out-the-v o t e cam
paign. 2) No official decision has
been made as to whether we
will sponsor a get-out-the-vote
campaign or not.
The Daily Nebraskan edi
torial has good points, but
I personally feel that it
should double-check its
sources of information be
fore sending the paper to
press.
Sincerely, .

What If?
Dear Editor:
I'm reasonably sickly and
like fun and games and am
willing to pay a dollar a se
mester for the Nebraskan,
but is that $30 obligatory
since only $102 of our $132
is officially tuition? What
happens if someone with a
genuine desire for an edu
cation and $102 should
promise not to go to Stu
dent Health or the Union
or read the rag?
