The tuition issue stands now in the
minds of most students a confused mess.
Plans for action since many students
seem to want action are appearing on
several fronts, but few, judging from
comments we have heard and letters we
have gotten, understand what is happen
ing. We have previously supported the
petition drive to object to the legislature's
raising the tuition rate at the University
and state teachers colleges.
We now extend our support to the
second point in this program, the letter
writing campaign to the senators. If sen
ators themselves admit that this is the
most effective way to bring influence to
bear on themselves, we have no choice.
The whole situation is looking increas
ingly futile and ugly. We would like to
see a simple levy, which would bail
everyone out of trouble . . . and there is
trouble. Some senators maintain that the
University is ready for a tuition raise "to
keep us in line with other Universities." If
they have no better reason than that, they
would do well to try to keep us in line
with other universities with regard to fac
ulties, faculty quality and class size.
But we cannot see the entire legisla
ture yielding to the ridiculous statements
of Wray Scott, president of the Associa
tion of Nebraska Taxpayers, who thinks
Dear editor,
It should be the purpose
of every serious student at
the University to acquire an
education which will ful

Board of Regents are try

These efforts are to be

to make use of these facOi-
Only $132
Dear editor:
Have you ever seen the
crowds at Pershing when
ever some singer comes to
town or the mob in the
Union or the cars on camp
us or the cloths we wear
not rags)? We pay only
$132 per semester for a rea
sonably pleasant higher ed
it c a t i o n experience, and
then everybody throws mon
ey at us. Why shouldn't the
students yap more of the
cost.

Greek Week doesn't seem
like a good time to attack
one of the main governing
bodies of the Greek system.
But maybe it is a good time
for each of its members to
sit back and analyze exact
ly what it is doing.
Last week Panhellenic
succeeded in raising the ire
of the Daily Xebraskan by
excluding reporters from its
meeting. The answer given
by Panhellenic President Di
anne Michel was that if the
reporter had been a Greek,
she would have been allowed
to stay. Up until this time,
I bad laughed at the exclu
sion. It was just another of
Panhel's petty little moves.
But the ideas of excluding a
girl just because she wasn't
a Greek made me wonder
if the Greek system is so
poor that it can not stand
to have another group look
closely at it. to readily see
its weaknesses.
This week at house meet
ings the sororities all found
out alxmt the secretive mat
ter. They were all told to
keep this great wealth of
information confidential,
and a special warning was
given not to allow the Daily
Xebraskan to know the con
tents. First, let me say to those
of you who do not know what
tliis little tidbit is don't
worry about it. It isn't worth
knowing. It is just an inef
fective bit of bureaucracy.
Second to all: these are
my own personal convic
tions, not necessarily those
of any group.
Third, to Panhellenic: I
am a member of this great

are made by responsible
students, faculty and admin
istrative bodies, it s e e m s
unlikely.
Too many of my campus
acquaintances are here on
ly to have a good time.
Unfortunately, most of these
would-be hedonists fail to
recognize or fail to culti
vate intellectual pleasures
due probably to local atmos
phere and innate abilities.
The innate abilities can on
ly be raised by raising Uni
versity entrance require
ments; but, the intellectual
atmosphere can be im
proved for the benefit of
our hedonists and our more
valuable campus members.
The Daily Nebraskan, be
ing the official XU newspa
per, has an obligation to
continually better the Uni
versity. Promoting an aca
demic and intellectual at
mosphere is a part of this
betterment. Certainly, as
much, if not more, attention
should be given to the schol
ar as to the athlete.
The four students who
made 9.0 averages last se
mester should have had
organization and frankly.
I'm embarrassed. This little
bit will never serve the pur
pose for which it was intend
ed. The piece of paper is now
being sent to the Board of
Regents. Please, please.
Panhellenic, reconsider.
It would be better than
nothing be said at all than
for this gutless bit to be re
leased. Any member of the

students should relieve the tax burdens
of the people of Nebraska. Our legislature
has been criticized, but we defend their
intelligence and integrity to the point that
we believe they feel a state's responsibility
to the school that bears its name. Person
al talks with 20 per cent of the senators
have assured us of this.
This is a critical period a time when
pressure from the forces of Anti-University
could be instrumental in bringing the
end of a senator's career. It is the type
of critical period that requires profiles
in courage.
As the tuition issue stands from the
student viewpoint, we have reason and
action. Reason: we must expand or limit,
of this there is little doubt. We do not feel
it right to limit. To expand takes money.
Money takes taxes, bond sales, or tui
tion raises. We do not feel that many can
stand to replace bond sales with tuition.
Can or should.
Action: work for taxes and bond sales
in ways that will bring the most pressure
to bear. Pressure, not resentment. May
be thjere is not much we can do, but there
is a little we can try.
The petition should be signed, the let

for the Woodrow Wilson

Professors, who give their

they have no right nor need

FROM tta TO ISOO
ti
Level
Dear editor,
The Daily Nebraskan has
succeeded in reaching a new
level of excellence in a most
discerning and perspicacious
review of "One Potato, Two
Potato" by Mr. Diaper San
doe. It is obvious that Mr.
Sandoe is a most extraor
dinary journalist and well
qualified to criticize Raph
ael Hayes and Orville
Hampton for the horrible
screen play for which they
have received an academy
award nomination.
The giant intellect of Mr.
Sandoe makes itself evident
when one considers the
points that he criticizes.
The average, ordinary jour
nalist, after watching pre
judice triumph over jus
tice, would make such trite
and common place com
ments as: "a well-placed
mirror reflecting an intoler
ant ugly society" or "a
moving, well-expressed
statement of our times;" or
"in spite of its many artis
tic merits, one wishes this
picture could not have
been made."
Mr. Sandoe remarks, how
ever, that the picture "is
apt to present almost too
sympathetic a view" and
that it is "sentimental" al
though "Bernie Hamilton,"
who plays the part of the
Negro husband is "too
stoic."
What really sets Mr. San
doe apart from writers of
lesser degree is his intense
psychological interest and
consequent criticism of the
film because "it refuses to
delve deeply enough into the
personalities of the hero and
heroine," and does not "follow-up"
the "possible moti
vations of their character,"
even though this has noth-
Ambitious
Dear editor.
What are all these noisy
objections to the proposed
tuition increase? Do . they
come from the ambitious
few who are putting them
selves through school? Or
do they come from those
who are afraid Daddy will
yank them out of school for
lack of a few extra dollars?
Don't they care what kind
of an education they are
getting? Don't they realize
that the few inspiring in
structors that are left won't
stay here long if they aren't
given pay comparable to
that they might expect else
where? And I know they
don't realize that Nebraska
residents can attend NU
cheaper than any other
state institution, (even if
there is a college in their
hometown.)
We DO need a tuition in
crease. We DO need better
instructors and better fa
cilities. We DON'T need
more students because the
University can't handle
them now. We DO need bet
ter quality students, but we
WON'T get them if we don't
get better quality instruc
tors. And to place a greater
burden for our education on
the taxpayers is of course
fallacious; the state needs

ing to do with the
purpose
of the picture.
It is certainly not neces
sary for anyone of such cal
ibre to back up such gener
alities as "the plot lacks
probability in some of the
most important dramatic
features of the motion pic
ture" with concrete exam
ples. I think Mr. Sandoe's lit
erary style also deserves
special mention. His unusu
al and imaginary departures
from the normal such as
"baldly thin," "sound
track . . . picked up from
a microphone" and "I fail
to see the grounds ... ex
cept on the grounds" are
jewels I will always treas
ure in the strongbox of my
memory
It is little wonder that
Mr. Sandoe was disappoint
ed in the film and deserved
ly so.

More For
Dear editor,
After reading Diaper San
doe's review of ONE PO
TATO, TWO POTATO, I
would like to make a few
suggestions:
1. Have your writers see
a movie before you have
them review it.
2. Find another method
for selecting your movie re
viewers. Using the first
person you meet who can
spell "cat" is not working
out too well.
3. Remove verbiage, such
as, "is not of a superlative
quality," from articles like
Mr. Sandoe's. The space
saved could be used for
more intellectual features,
for example. "What Do the
Beachboys Really Think of

too many other things first,
from which the taxpayers
would get more direct bene
fit, ,
So what is all the noise?
I'd really like to know.
Mary Ann Deems
Editor's note: Most of the
noise comes from those of
ns who think that the tax
payers have a larger re
sponsibility in prodding an
adequate system of higher
education for ALL ef its in

zens In short, those of ns
that strongly disagree with
your way of thinking.

Dear editor,
The current flurry of ex
citement over the proposed
tuition raise points out a
lack of any effective lead
ership on the part of the
student body.
Friday Senator Carpenter
suggested that the student
body march on the Capitol
to emphasize our opposition
to an increase in tuition.
Monday at least two, per
haps more, petitions were
circulating about the cam
pus. As of Monday not one of
the officers of the various
organizations devoted to the
welfare of the student body
had made any statement as
to the policy we, as stu
dents, should adopt.
A leader would provide
leadership. That circular
statement does have bear
ing on the case. A leader
should have enough contact
with the populus to sense
when they desire action. He

Sandoe's talent for saying in
200 words what anyone else
would say in 150.
I am very surprised that
Mr. Sandoe noticed the
names of the movie's writ
ers. He seems to have no
ticed little else about the
picture. I do not doubt that
Mr. Sandoe possesses re
markable powers of per
ception. Howver, he must be
taught to use them. Could
you reassign Mr. Sandoe to
reviewing color cartoons?
This type of entertainment
seems to be more on his
level of discernment.
The disappointment which
Mr. Sandoe expresses can
not begin to match my own,
when I read his article.

should then, after weighing
the alternatives, make a de
cision for the course of ac
tion to follow.
A leader must not only be
sensitive to public desires,
he must also take such ac
tion as is necessary to guide
the group along a desired
course of action.
If one of the various lead
ers had made a definite
statement for a course of
action in the present situa
tion there would be no need
for them to be disturbed
over several petitions circu

However, in the absence
of positive leadership, a va

rise to many splinter move

goes into effect, positive
leadership will come to the
