Dar we criticize the sacrosanct Civil Rights Move
ment? , . . .
The following excerpt is from an article by Robeit A.
Haber, entitled, "From Protest to Radicalism."
"It operates first on the assumption that whether we
are heard or not, the issues demand that we speak, and
second, that if we speak loud enough and in sufficient num
bers, something will happen."
"We call for disarmament, but we say nothing of what
to do with the manpower, resources, industrial plant and
capital equipment that are tied up in the military ma
chine." , , u ,
Problems of poverty, health care, wasted agricultural
and natural resources, meaningless work these issues
arouse students neither to demonstrate nor discussion."
"This failure to look beyond our own moral position is
symptomatic of a protest, in contrast to a radical, move
ment It may also indicate a certain shallowness of con
viction when we are forced to seek an operative alternative
to immorality." .
"In the sympathy movement for the sit-ins, a similar
narrowness operates. The movement only rarely goes
beyond the store front Attention to community relations
to say nothing of student relations is minimal."
And now for the grabber: "It is a movement lacking in
perspective, and little oriented to successful social
change." , . ,
As the old harlot said to the PTA. "If ya haven t tried
it, don't knock it!" With this in mind, I will neither con
demn nor condone the sitter-inners.
But back to Mr. Haber.

resort to doing 40 push-ups

for us from shoveling the

winter to cutting the grass
in the spring and fall. The

an ample supply of dedi

Some clown called me a
crusader, in reference to
my previous attempts at
columns.
Who am I to argue with
him, or worse, make him a
liar? Here 1 come a-crusad-ing.
. .
Vote for the new student
government constitution to
day. Why? Surely not be
cause the convention
worked so long on it and
are tired and would like to
be appreciated. And surely
not because the constitution
would benefit your particu
lar organization.
The main point of this
long, explicit document is
to clarify the powers of the
students' governing body
at the University. Note the
plural possessive form of
the word "student." This
means that the constitution
is for the benefit of all stu
dents, regardless of affilia
tion, so long as that affilia
tion does not infringe upon
the rights of other students.
What's wrong with that?
The new constitution is
patterned in many respects
after the United States Con
stitution. An elaborate sys
tem of checks and balances
is incorporated, eliminating
much of the politicking
inherent in the present sys
tem. The three branch
structure, (executive, legis
lative, and judicial) elimi
nates overlapping powers,
duties and responsibilities
and defines areas of power.
The problem of "too much
power" is floating around
on students' tongues, and is

If you have a rug in your
room, the maid will oblig
ingly shake it out. right in
your room in fact. This is
always done after the rest
of the floor has been pain
stakingly mopped around
the rugs.
Qualifications of the
maids also include a liberal
background in which a
knowledge of world affairs
is evidently very import
ant. Every day the maids
willingly attend the two
hour second floor seminar
in my building where they
discuss current events. No
one is ever absent; such
dedication is seldom seen

mostly unbased rumor. The
entire Senate, and the presi
dent and vice president are
elected by the student body.
They represent the colleges
in which they are enrolled,
not their living units or acti
vities. Most appointive offices
must be approved by the
Senate in one form or an
other; the few that are
strictly appointive have no
, direct irreversible power,
and cannot become tyrants.
Then there are nastier ru
mors. "It's anti-Greek." to
which I reply ". . ." and
so did IFC and PanHellenic.
The opposite charge, "It's
anti-independent." is amply
refuted in RAM's vote of
confidence. The only
charge left is that it's pro
student body. I can think of
one person who would not
like this charge, but he's at
the Funny Farm and can't
vote.
The constitution, with its
checks and balances, three
branch structure, college
representation, etc., is the
best thing that could happen
to student government at
this stage. As to the charge
that it has ungodly powers :
it was not written by a herd
of goofs; they were chosen
by college deans ; it w a s
not passed by the conven
tion and merely sluffed off
on us; it was sent accord
ing to regulation to the com
mittee on Student Affairs,
sent back for revision, and
then passed.
Read it. college students,
and vote FOR the new con
stitution TODAY.
Don't dismiss the janitors
too lightly either. They too
hav must meet strict en
trance standards and must
have respectable undergrad
uate fields before engaging
in their graduate work of
sanitation engineers.
To cite an example, the
janitor in my building is
quite apparently a commu
nications expert by calling.
Who else would spend six
hours a day on the t e 1 e
phone? Another that I have seen
is an expert in the field of
acoustics. Last week he re
placed a square of ceiling
tile and he was so dedi
cated in his work and so
careful to detail that it took
him two days to complete
the job.
Yes dormitory residents
are certainly a luc ky lot but
they under a constant threat
that it is rumored could
prove fatal. They might be
pampered to death.

Remember This
Dear editor,
The events of the past
few days may prompt all,
no matter how liberal poli
tically, to reconsider their
votes given io LBJ last
November.
Suddenly the man w h o
promised- so much for a
Great Society is ignoring a
vital civil rights problem
making of himself a hypo
crite. And to what pur
pose? To promote a piece of leg
islation that will heavily tax
one segment of the popula
tion to support another, that
ought, by all rights, to have
attempted to save to pro
vide for itself.
And our President is
spending the remainder of
his time waging an unpopu
lar war in an unsuccessful
manner . . . while even
white men are being beaten
nearly to death in the South.
Remember this, future
voters.

Dear editor,
I noticed an article in the
Dailv Nebraskan of March
17 "about the Lincolnites
who have gone to S el m a,
Ala.
1 also noticed that two of
the people are faculty mem
bers of this University. I'm
wondering if these two peo
ple, David Trask and Mat
thew Toby, have been giv
en an official leave of ab
sence, or if they are still
receiving their University
salaries?
Interested
Editor's note: Vice Chan
cellor Adam Breckenridge,
dean of faculties, said fac
ulty members are usually
granted permission to rea
sonable requests for ab
sence from their duties if
thiv make sufficient ar
rangements through their
departments to have their
work taken care of while
thev are gone. We under
stand that both Trask and
Toby made these arrange
ments. iiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiHiiiiimiiiiiiiniiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiMitt

Dear editor,
I am what would be
termed an inactive integra
tionist; 1 do not belong to
FSNCC, and I do not demon
strate, but 1 do think that
there are none but individ
ual differences in members
of anv race or society, and
that I should be able to
choose people of any race
or belief as my friends and
fraternity brothers with
censure from none.
I do not understand the
problems which Sclma rep
resents; if I went there, it
would be to try to find the
truth, if it is there. I read
about SCC, and what the
purpose is, and wonder if I
should join.

kan. The Tobys and crew
went to Selma; to register
voters? They "expected to
be arrested."
Apparently they failed,
for, as I understand, they
became disgruntled and
moved on to Montgomery,
where the chances for ar
rest were better.
I am disappointed in these
people. Racial discrimina
tion is a serious blot on
mankind.
Let us not degrade this
issue or the people who
honestly know and believe
in what they are doing. Or
ganize a panty raid, or
some similar activity on
the same level as this type
of cheap publicity-minded
sensationalism.
"Expect to be arrested"
are you kidding?
