Blah!
It lasted 27 minutes, 27 minutes of blah nothingness.
It was called a meeting a meeting, mind you of the
glorious Student Council. It occurred Wednesday, but the
same thing occurred the Wednesday before and the Wednes
day before that.
The only discussion of any interest was w hether or not
Coach Devaney's insurance premium had been paid. Only
one problem there. This comes under the jurisdiction of
the Extra Toint Club, an organization that does not come
under the ruling thumb of Student Council.
For some reason, the Council has failed to do anything
of any consequence all year. There were plans for a racial
discrimination study. But something happened to that. It
just disappeared.
Perhaps it is the lack of leadership this year. This is
not limiting the blame to the officers, but also not excluding
them. Student Council, in order to be effective, must be
composed of many leaders, persons who are imaginative
and creative enough to realize the needs of the campus.
They must be able to carry plans to fruitation after the
needs are seen. It isn't that these persons aren't capable,
they just don't have their eyes open.
Another problem of the Council may be the lack of
definite lines as to in which areas they may act. What
powers do they have to do something about discrimination
if they find it? What powers do they have to do something
about the drinking issue? What powers do they have over
Devaney's insurance?
The Constitutional Convention may do well to consider
defining the powers of Student Council in their constitution,
to give the new Student Council the power that they need
to be effective.
Meetings such as Wednesday's will continue to be the
plague of this campus unless the Council knows what their
powers are and then has the leadership to utilize these
rights.
li they don't. Council will continue to be ineffective,
powerless, and good for a few laughs.

A lew sheltered folks have
been taking critical pokes at
the InterFraternity Council
of late. They say that the
FC has become too strong
and centralized and that ft
should be more of a coor
dinating body.
Alas, that is exactly what
the IFC is. Their judicial
powers are minimal, and
they work for the better
ment of the fraternity sys
tem as a whole, rather than
against the certain frater
nity. Let us suppose there were
no strong InterFraternity
Council at the University.
It would end up with one
house battling another with
all going down in defeat.
In house-to house battle
the bigger houses would
dominate completely. With
the system we have now
there is only one rush book
which eliminates the possi
bility of the bigger houses
throwing so much more

house can't afford to print

go down the pipe without
the small house.
Writh a strong, central or
ganization the IFC can con
tinue its expansion plans, tu
toring programs and keep
moving the FMA to a goal
of including all fraternities
all advantageous to t h e
system.
Since the InterFraternity
Council is a self-sufficient
organization, basically free
of administration domina
tion, the group can survey
problems common to ail
fraternities and move to rec
tify them.
This would, of course, not
include fraternity secrecy,
but universal programs
such as pledge training,
rush, scholarship, house
maintanence, etc.
By this we can advance
the fraternity system and
update to the level neces
sary in these days of in
creased enrollments, in
creased educational pres
sures and increased compe
tition to prove that the fra
ternity system is the better
way to build character,
scholarship and morality.
Without it, we (Greeks)

It seems probable that
the University of Nebraska
will continue to grow in size
at least if not also in aca
demic excellence. Plans
are now under way for a
new Dental College and
eventually another Arts and
Science College for the
East Campus. The East and
City Campuses should be.
united within twenty years
with a series of high rise
dorms as the connecting
link.
There are many variables
involved in planning for Uni
versity development: The
City Council must decide if
and when the Northeast Dia
gonal will be built. The Rock
Island Railroad must decide
whether or not to relocate.
Either a lack of vision or a
lack of drive on the part of
city government has re
sulted in a s'.ow down of
necessary planning and acti
vation of extension of the
city campus and the closing
of 14th, 16th and 17th Streets
to through traffic.
A few years ago the pro
gressive citizens of Lincoln
rejected urban renewal as
a means in aiding in city
planning.
In what can accurately be
called one of the most con
fused and unintelligent cam
paigns in the history of this
city. Dr. R. C. Olney, Elea
nor Brown and their well
known group of "freedom
fighters' were able to pre
dict a communist take over
in the United States and
Lancaster County if urban
renewal had been adopted.
Their position, not sup
ported in any way by docu
mentation, seemed to be a
prelude to the rise of re
actionary hate tactics
which compose the activi
ties of the extreme right
groups presently attempting
to 'warn America.' This is
not to say that there are not
valid arguments against ur
ban renewal.
The defeat of this proposal
has resulted in a hampering
of city planning and simi
larity in University expan
sion. This view has been

expressed often by Univer
sity officials. It is to re
membered that urban re
newal has as its basis the
inherent governmental right
of eminent domain, tem
pered by Constitutional pro
tection of due process of law
and just compensation.
Last week's issue of Time
Magazine featured the re
building of the core cities of
the East's megatropolis.
The use of public and pri
vate investment coupled
with visionary planning
aided by urban renewal is
resulting in a revitalization
of this country's cities: Bos
ton, New York. Philadel
phia, Clevelana. Baltimore,
Washington and others.
The City of Lincoln is
presently at a crossroads in
city development. The City
C o u n c il and Lancaster
County Commission have
been unable to agree on the
location of a city-county
building with the result of a
separate building for the
city being planned for 15th
and 0 at the 'suggestion' of
downtown businessmen.
The commissioners re
cently witnessed the defeat
of their separate court
house proposal because it
was planned fey 10th and J
separate from that of the
proposed city structure.
The State of Nebraska has
been faced with an increas
ing shortage in available
and future office space ir
the State Capitol. The pro
posal to build a state office
building has been circu
lating for many years with
the result that it is still cir
culating in search of lead
ership. The federal government
has already planned t h :
construction of a new fed
eral office building and

separate post office for the
city within the next five
years.
The needs of all four
governmental divisions
have been quite evident for
several years. Hemming
and hawing will not erase
t he ever growing need in the
future. What is needed is
vision and drive on the part
of all four governmental di
visions but especially on the
part of Lincoln citizens in
adopting urban renewal as
an adequate tool of the City
County Planning Commis
sion. Lincoln would do well to
take a lesson from Boston
in turning the needs of all
four levels of government
into a Combined Govern
mental, Chic and Cultural
Center for the City of Lin
coln. Such a combined govern
mental center would place
the emphasis on efficiency,
beauty and cooperation,
lending credence to the slo
gan that Lincoln is also a
center of government be
sides education.

According to my psycholo
gy professor, anxiety can
have many sources. Anxiety
could be standing in an el
evator with an unbathed
yak. For an unbathed yak,
it could be about anything.
But for my simple pur
poses, it is taking job inter
views and placement tests.
Job interviews aren't really
pulsating dangers if one
knows how to go about
them.
First, dress according to
the job you want. Wear a
slide rule on your belt loop
and also wear that nice
plastic belt with NU writ
ten on it with beads. Engi
neering companies will
shower you with garlands of
theorems and a few s 1 y
winks. If you're a speech
mgjo r, have your cape
cleaned three days before
hand and polish your toe
nails a light green to match
your jade cane.
Second, find out the na
tionality of your interview
er. If he's Italian, Mexican,
Peruvian, or Aztec, eat gar
lic and breathe heavily in
his face. When he gets that
home look in his eyes, you're
in. Mention sour kraut if
she has a black, square
moustache.
As I said, job interviews
are a frolic in the hay com
pared with job placement
tests.
Rate yourself on the fol
lowing: 1. Which would you rath
er do? Raise funds for
AUF, shave your legs, or
vacuum the dorm rug?
2. Which is the most ap
pealing? Waxing stable
floors, giving pep talks to
life-term inmates, or sup
ervising the College of Bus
iness Administration?
3. If your father was a
Mason, would you date a
Jobs Daughter, pledge Phi
Delta Theta, or mix mortar
boards?

Another thing which
makes me nervous, sweaty
and ill at ease, is my Eng
lish class. There are about.
15 graduate students w h o
appear to know all that is
going on, which is an ex
perience not shared by the
other 87 of us.
highlv distrust anyone
w h o sits through a lecture
and nods his head. Last
week, one of them blew his
nose with a page out of
e. e. cummings. and I
thought I had captured the
svmbolism until another
confied that he used pages
from Lord Byron for toilet
paper. My anxiety had a
field day. I believe it was
then that I named it Elmer,
just for a way of coping
with nervous tension.
