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 sparks for an
energetic student body are beginning tto

THE PRECEDING EDITORIAL Mas
written before the approval yesterday of
a resolution by Susie Segrist providing
tor new business to be submitted to the
Student Council president in time to pub
lish a weekly agenda of the Council meet
ing before the meeting.
" 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.

fly. 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.

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."
The (sic) following Cos
ier's misspelling of a word
w as added a nirt news by
an unauthorised person. 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

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.

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

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.
