'Gef Off!'
"Get off that grass!" "Don't throw that football across
the street!"
As Indian Summer extends itself into November and
the footballs continue to fly across the green turfs and
the cemented streets, and as skate boards continue to roll
up 16th and 17 Streets, tempers are getting shorter.
Twin Towers is attempting to grow grass, Selleck
Quad is attempting to keep the grass they already have,
the individual houses all have their cherished blades
and the football players are outcasts.
Last week a letter was received asking why the ten
nis courts were closed on week end evenings. The physi
cal education Held is closed to students who just want to
let off a little steam.
The gravel parking lots is hard on both the players
and the cars.
In short, there's no place for these persons to go for
that half hour of catch after dinner.
Football is not the only activity that is limited. There's
physical energy that has built up through the day.
Girls, too, feel the constriction.
Part of this comes with the compact campus. Solu
tions are hard to find.
Administrators are concerned with the problem also.
Dean Winston Martin has toyed with the idea of closing
a street and making it into a recreational area. This would
give the students a little recreational area as well as add
ing beauty to the campus, if they are practically possible.
However, funds will be needed to accomplish this.
Here we are again, butting our heads against the wall.
Again the only way to get more money is to work and
talk for it. If the students want more recreational facili
ties they must let their wishes to known and then help
the administrators find the financing for this luxury.

KAMPUS KITCHEN:
Devil's Head Dumplings
Select several lively, junior-sized pigeons, preferably
Genus Fraternus. Puncture the heads and inject Visions de
Grandeur, a powder of unknown origin. At this point, the
birds will squirm. Relax. Whisper, "Hi," and the birds will
coo.
Bloat the fowl with Aye-et-cee Sauce, a rare concoc
tion of little potency. Now the birds look fat and sassy,
right? But we know they're just full of Sauce. Incidentally
Aye-ef-cee is quite expensive.
Sprinkle our birds with Stewdin's Kounzel, rare spices
from a remote valley in Byelorussia. They add zesto to
an otherwise ordinary dish. Caution, I say, as too much
Stewdin's Kounzel may leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Any more garnish is optional. You might try Kaekae
Syrup. The decanter is very dressy, carnation and all.
Watching your budget? Soak your birds with Bilder's
Award Wine, an inexpensive solution easily acquired.
No wrap your birds in tinfoil, in triplicate. Tie the
legs with red tape. Place in a scorching oven till Spring,
lhe recipe for Hens is approximately the same.
Serve a baker's dozen with all due ceremony. The ex
tra birds make wonderful sandwiches.
Best of Luck,

Passing
A striking campus phe
nomenon of recent years is
a rapid increase in "social
paranoia" among students.
I refer to the tendency to
atrribute all sorts of evil
designs conspiracies to
the faculty and administra
tion. While it is conceivable
that the dean might be in
cahoots with the Greeks to
stifle RAM, or that t h e
staff in a large freshman
course is out to flunk a
stated percentage of the
class, it is not at all prob
able. Difficulties faced by
students are important and
real, but they are not very
often the result of conspi
racies. Nevertheless students are
being victimized by a rapid
ly increasing lack of atten
tiveness to their needs by
the institution, despite fac
ulty and administration ef
forts to counteract the
trend. The trend itself stems
from great disturbances in
academia which lessen the
effectiveness of the faculty
and administration in rela
tion to students and which
are not well understood by
students themselves.
The first reason for the
decline of attentiveness to
students is the expansion of
the student body. The mere
fact that many more stu
dents are in residence and
that the size of the staff has
not kept pace is itself per
haps the principal cause of
inattentiveness. The conse
quence is separation and
alienation a situation
sure to engender paranoid
symptoms. The paranoia is
often exacerbated by well
meaning but ineffective ef
forts by the university to
cope with its problems
especially rules relating to
student conduct.
A second major cause of
student alienation is the di
versification of university
function which has taken
place recently. All kinds of
new functions are now per
formed by the university,
taking time and interest
away from students. An en
terprise in adult education
like the Kellogg Center adds
a new dimension to the uni
versity's operations which is
expensive of staff time. The
great influx of government
contracts to deal with an
amazing variety of projects
like the Peace Corps or
defense-connected research
also tends to engage fac
ulty and administration en
ergies to the disadvantage
of students.
The total impact of ex
pansion and diversification
is quite astronomical and
all of it lessens the degree
of attentiveness to students
accorded by the staff. De-
Through
spite awareness of the trend
and attempts to counteract
it. the University has not
been able to react effect
ively as yet. The sense of
hurt and of deprivation ex
perienced by students in the
context of declining atten
tiveness ultimately becomes
manifest in withdrawal
symptoms or paranoid feel
ings. The staff, incidentally,
also is subject to some of
this.
What is to be done? The
first task is to recognize
and interpret the adverse
consequences of expansion
and diversification. The
next step is to re-establish
attentiveness to students in
the new and unavoidable
context of expansion and
diversification. The princi
pal goal, of course, must be
to enlarge the University
staff to improve the s t u-dent-teacher
ratio and also
to expand facilities. The
staff must be given suffi
cient time to deal with their
students and adequate
equipment.
This enterprise takes mon
ey. There are two m a i n
sources: additional revenue
from the state and addition
al revenue from the federal
government in the form of
aid to education. Until the
people of the State become
conscious of the need for
vastly increased state and
federal assistance, the out
look for the elimination of
inattentiveness to student
needs is grim.
How can students re
spond to these adverse cir
cumstances constructively?
They can help in a public
sense by explaining the uni
versity's problems and
needs to their parents and,
friends at home. They can
help themselves by guard
ing against the tendency to
withdrawal and paranoia
and by working out personal
relations with fellow s t u
dents and faculty members
which transcend or at least
mitigate that inattentive
ness which no one likes and
which no one least of all
faculty members and ad
ministrators wishes to
create or to perpetuate.

1 was much relieved when
a student came up to tell
me that I was wrong about
there being no original
things done on this campus.
He pointed out that there
are very few campuses
where the fans wear t h e
team's colors to the game.
At Nebraska there are
splashes of red seen all
through the stadium. Even
the windows on the field
houses are painted red.
What other campus has a
"Big Red R y d e r?" he
asked. And there are the
bombs that used to be shot
off after each touchdown.
He also pointed out that
other campuses do not carry
signs around the track at
half time to campaign for
their candidates for queens
or offices.
And last year there was
the fire that the Sammy's
had burning the week be
fore the big game with Ok
lahoma. Reports have it
that the fire will again be
lit this year. . .
I must say that I'm much
relieved. If other students
have more suggestions as
nominations for unique hap
penings on this campus,
please, please send them to
the Daily Nebraskan, in
care of Squee's Squabbles.
On yes, 1 hear that some
one on campus is trying to
start a fad of going bare
foot to classes. It will be in
teresting to see w h a t
happens to this when cold
weather sets in.
He is around
on the ship thats bound
Over the water's deep
He does not know
But very slow
He will fall asleep.
He cannot stand
The Water's hand
Rucking to and fro.
He is not well
On the waves large swell
So lie takes refuge below.
That is the reward
Of the first time aboard
On a ship out in the sea.
No one did know
That that poor old soul
Was really just me.
