I' til II Frank Partsch, editor Page 2 MiiiHnm8immii Some members of Student Council are experiencing a new feeling the peo ple they represent are complaining. We see this as a most encouraging and health ful trend. We are not speaking of the contro versy between some Arts and Sciences students and their representatives. We refer to all representatives land holdov ers and all students. The Constitutional Convention has created a great deal of interest, an in terest that goes above and beyond the handful of students which have always been concerned. People who never before even cared that we had a Student Coun cil are now beginning to discuss repre sentation and other issues. This interest also carries beyond the coming reconstruction of student govern ment and focuses on our present Student Council. The big issues of the year have been fought and refonght in many dorm rooms and union boothes which had nev er heard the words ""Student Council" be fore. It has always been a problem with Student Council that not a large enough sampling of the constituants'' opinions could be found. Whenever an issue was discussed, it followed, rather than pro ceeding the action. This was both fortu nate and unfortunate. It was fortunate because a represen tative. en matter what body he sits on. should be bound to defend his opinions and votes before his constituants. It was unfortunate because the issues on debate often transformed themselves into battles of personalities. As w have said before and will say again, campus politics are cheapened by personal battles (and, in sonne cases, by personal loyalties.! Too many times cam pus politicians let personal feelings color our decisions on important actions. Now, w need to know about upcom ing issues in advance.

" The Daily Xebraskan pledges its co operation to this resolution, feeling, that, as stated above, discussion before issues arise is imperative to the success of the representation system. Miss Segrist. this is . , . its great. An agenda will not pro vide Ml discussion, but it should, at least sometimes, plant the seeds of interest in minds that have been heretofore com pletely dormant. We are sorry we were not able to at tend tee meeting personally, but the tact that a day has Ely 2i hours greatly hampers our activities. We feel that we have missed one of the more important Council meetings of the half-cone year. The resolution is not the final answer, but we are confident that we can do our part, both by printing an agenda, and by commenting editorially, to arou.se some interest. We repeat our appeal to all students Council members especially to come down to the Daily Xebraskan office and talk things over at any time.

We must begin to talk these things over with our representatives. The campus as a whole is starting to think, at least to think like the students at other I niversities. We hear the cries for racial equality, persona! freedom, etc.. which have never before brightened our drab establishment with more than a tew feeble rays. Thought is aiways good, and we en courage a little more of it. both life in general and Student Council in particular. We are happy with the Constitutional Con vention, but we know that it can do lit tle without thought from the students. 1 ' in i llllllltltMIHHilllllll.'MMIIIHIIIIillMoililttillMI Editor's note: The name of John Cosier was inad vertantly omitted from his letter in the campus opin ion column in vesterday's issue of the Daily NeHras kan. We are sorry that this happened, htr the letter was or such nature as Jo he mis understood without the name. Cosier's letter was run umV r the heading "My Belief."

U shall hereafter bp the pol icy f the editor of the Daily Nebraskan to correct spell ing errors in letters to the editor. Grammatical errors will be left as they are. Locke Related? After the letters from Air. Cosier and Air. Moore in Wednesday's Daily Xebras kan. I should probably w ithdraw- meekly from the fight, especially after the refer ences to Lorke and Burke demonstrated the firm philo sophical base of my opposi tion. However, I fail to see the relevance of John Locke, whose view on government has been summarized by saying that, "sovereignty re sides with the people, and it is they alone w ho can de cide to change its form or to appoint new governors." This would seem to indi cate that, if an elected rep resentative should violate the tnast of his constituents, he should be willing to ac cept the consequences. Its contrast with the arch conservatism of E d m u n d Bjirke. who is not universal ly accepted as the ultimate authority on the duties f a representative. I should like to refer Air. Cosier to the consensus expressed by such philosophers as Alarsiglio of Padua, Tisonias Jefferson. Jeremy Bemthaini. John Stu art AMI, and Robert LaFoJ lelte. Sr. The consensus here es pres.sed is that the repine- ., senfatives of tine people ought properly to express and reflect the opinions ami a;l iu t2e best iaterests of the ps-coje.

This, perhaps, should have been some indication of the sentiment of his college. !n addition. I do not recai! a singie A&S student speak ing against the resolution on the fioor except for the A&S representatives. This action can only he seen as a gross misrepresentation. Let us take another ex ample, since Mr. Cosier de manded examples to be pre sented. Air. Cosier's opposi tion to Student Council action on the "Bobby Ker rey Case'" can be " inter preted in two lights. One, Cosier did not feel an investigation should be made because he felt t h e actions were in good faith despite the somewhat seamy ex;oses made in Council. this is eitner extremely naive or openly in disregard of the facts. The other light possible is that Cosier's ul timate goal on Council is not the improvement of the university but a red hood next spring, and his action in this instance was moti vated by the knowledge that Kerrey is really Innocent. Finally, we might look at an example of negligence on Cosier's part. Anyone who has used an office in t h e I'nion knows that janitors empty the wastebaskets. Co sher, however, "stored" a large number of ballots in a was'ebasket! He was sur prised and shocked, need less to say, when the waste basket was emptied. Air. Cosier asked for ex amples. I hope these are sufficient to show his irre sponsibility and Ms misrep resentation of the interests of his constituents. lie should realize that the position of Student Council representative entails a re sponsibility and not merely a basis for "gunning." Apparently he has forgot ten this. For too long, the student body has tacitly en dorsed such abuses by look ing the other way. X o w we will finally see whether the student body is con cerned. Iff taey are not, they deserve the representation Iney are getting. Robert CberT EDITOR S .VOTE: Air.

Misconceptions This letter is in answer to Fox's Facts by Gale Po korny who evidently has misconstrued his facts or really has no idea of what the facts are. Every college at the Uni versity is represented by an athlete and each athlete is required to pass the same courses with thesame pass ing grades as everyone else. Durig the season the foot ball team has practice six times a week and a game on the seventh plus various meetings at night during the week. AI e m b e r s of the track learn work out almost every day the year round. This is no excuse for not getting good grades and athletes need no excuses. Athletes despite their rigorous work schedules managed to come within two tenths of a per cent of the all men's aver age last year. Alany of the athletes at Nebraska come from differ ent parts of the country and as a result have different backgrounds. Many haven't had the fundamentals in English that others have. I believe the Nebraska coaches when recruit in g look for certain qualities in boys that make for winners not only in the athletic field but in the classroom and also 5a later life. This quality is the willing ness to make the extra ef fort or pay the price of .greatness. This has much to do with the rise of t h e Huskers this last year. The common Idea stated by writer Pokoray that ath letes receive many extras, i.e. convertibles, m o n e y. etc. is ahsurd. Athletes on scholarships receive exactly w hat is stated in the scholar ship. The football team has been fortunate to attend three bowl games in the . past three years. F'.r many boys on the team it meant foregoing the chance to go hoarse and take it easy for a few weeks after a" real I strenuous fail. But each year tiie, !ei:"H ! unanimiously chooses to ' practice hard for aac'her I -WATCH REPAIR- GUmS KH5OTC8I it" 5-" X I month to play another game. This is not to s a y that these bowls are not a wonderful experience be cause they arc, Also there was nobody more firmly be hind the team going to a bowl than Chancellor Hardin and the administration. The fact that the team has been on coast to coast television and has had coverage in national newspapers and magazines gives prestige to the school. Air. Pokorny singles out the athlete as exemplifying everything bad. Athletics in general has grown rapidly both in participants and spectators. Athletics in both the pro and college levels are million dollar busi nesses. So whether you are in favor or net. Air. Pokorny don't blame the athlete but blame the society that places a high priority on athletes and athletics. The idea that athletics does not do anything for the University and Lincoln is also false. On game days business in Lincoln is great ly enhanced. The Sheldon Art Gallery has also often had its best attendance on game days. After a winning season this year the contri butions !o the Nebraska Foundation which provides money for instructors, re search and scholarships are larger than ever before. Also athletic scholaships themselves provide the fi nances for a young man to go to college who probably wouldn't be able to do so. Such things as snowball ing, firecrackers, and yell ing are isolated incidents and happen in all parts of the campus. This letter should leclify and clarify a few of I h e misconceptions that aj peared in the Feb. 12 issue of the Daily Xebraskan. Oth er questions concerning Ne braska athletes and athletics will be gladly answered if and when thev are ratsed. Bill Kaug Are you still wearing those creasy kid stacks?
