Yesterday And Today
This is National Newspaper Week.
All over the country newspapers of all kinds, dailies,
weeklies, large ones, small ones will take this opportunity
to tell their readers about the importance of newspapers
in our society.
Many people are not aware of the importance of the
fundamental freedom freedom of the press guaranteed in
the Bill of Rights. The struggle for freedom of the press
began when the printing press was invented, 1450.
For 250 years the dissemination of ideas through the
printed word was controlled or suppressed entirely by the
church, the government, and sometimes both.
Licensing of the press ended in England in 1695, but
all public criticism of the government was strictly forbid
den for another 100 years by rigid libel laws.
The first licensed newspaper in America appeared in
1704, but was heavily censored. A turning point in the fight
for a free press in America came 30 years later with the
famous trial of John Peter Zenger, publisher of the New
York Weekly Journal. Zenger was jailed for calling the
colonial governor dishonest and oppressive. He was freed
by a jury when he proved his accusations to be true, there
fore not libelous. Up to this time derogatory statements,
true or false, were considered libelous and illegal
The right of the press to report and comment on public
affairs was established little by little.
Today newspapers fight to maintain their right to re
port the news "where it happens, when it hapens" and to
challenge their readers to reason for themselves-to come
to a conclusion of their own to discover themselves in
their society.

Deadly Halls Of Ivy
Acidly, Paul Goodman
expressed a contemporary
view of higher education
writing. In an article, "The
Deadly Halls of Ivy," he
wrote, "Americans are sold
on schooling even though
education isn't very good."
It results in young peo
ple, with no real interest
in, nor talent for, academ
ic work, sitting through
endless hours of study to
gain knowledge they will
quickly forget. Although
teachers probably like their
subjects, they do little to
kindle student interest even
though that interest might
have been latent when the
student entered college.
Contemporary college
teachers have become so
overly specialized that they
do little more than to teach
a skill although colleges are
poor places to learn skills.
This deplorable condition is
intensified by the transi
tion through which higher
education is now moving.

Campuses are expanding,
dlassrooms overcrowded
and curricula constantly
growing.
Just to keep order in this
monolith, layers of adminis
trative offices and proce
dures have been created.
Residence halls are means
for housing, feeding, and
regulating student conduct
in economical, efficient, and
effective ways. The fact that
such regimentation kills the
human spirit does not seem
to bother college officials.
But the worst of the situ
ation is that the society is
trying to force ever and
ever larger numbers of
youth into college. No one
has suggested the possibility
that college education is
really not for most of the
world's work. Relatively
few of the generation of the
twenties did attend college
but nonetheless the major--ity
of the age group suc
ceeded "reasonably well.
Those who did go to col
lege were not hurt by it
because the pressures of
the modern educational cli
mate did not exist.
Since the Korean War and
Sputnik there has developed
a disastrous overestimation
of studying and scholar
ship. Very likely the na
tion could find better things
for its youth to do than to
go to college. Domes
tic peace corps, small farm
ing enterprises, and sub
sidized work on small pa
pers and magazines are all
possibilities. Doing those ac
tivities youth might gain the
experience to make subse
quent academic work of
value.

HlTCM YOUR WA&ON TO A
Pedant: Book Worm?
Dear Editor:
I wish to thank Harvey
Perlman for his letter and
his good wishes. I agree
emphatically with the quote
from Dean Pound. I wonder
if Mr. Perlman fully under
stands what he has quoted.
One of the definitions given
in the American College
Dictionary for pedant is
"one who possess mere
book learning without prac
tical wisdom." I feel Dean
Pound would agree with me
that all this book learning,
whether it be chemistry or
law, or anything else, it
must have a practical ap
plication. I see that I should have
been more clear in my first
letter. I do not consider ed
ucation as hogwash hea
ven forbid!!! What I rffer
to is the idea that in order
to have a "well rounded ed
ucation" you must be a
"Jack of all trades." A doc
tor need not know how to
play a violin in order to be
a good doctor or even to
enjoy music; but he d o e s
need to know chemistry. I

Thank You!
maintain that the require
ments of our curriculum
should have a direct practi
cal application to the pro
fession for which we arc
preparing ourselves. For
anyone to tell me that 1 do
not have "a well rounded
education," or that I will be
come a pedant, unless I take
all these courses is hog
wash!!! Mr. Perlman, since you
have never met me nor
visited with me personally,
how can you know what my
conceptions are? If you use
only the only letter as the
basis for your conclusion,
are you sure you have suffi
cient evidence to make an
accurate judgment? A good
judge will consider all the
evidence before making
any decision. I am sure
you will make a fine attor
ney some day. I wish to
thank you for your interest.
Quite a number of per
sons have expressed their
opinions fo me personally on
this subject since these
letters were printed. I wish
to encourage these people to
express them publicly so
that all may benefit from
their experiences.
Sincerely,
Franz H. Penner
Hats Off!
Dear Editor:
Hats off to the Cornhusker

at the beginning through
Nebraskan's favorite march,
the band looked first rate.
Jack Snider, the Sunshine

ulated and commended.
They put the finishing

University psycholo
gists have it all figured out
as to how they are going to
find six people that can get
along to occupy the pro
posed "suites" of the pro
posed Will B. Plush dormi
tory, to be located directly
over the mainline . of the
Rock Island Railroad. In
addition to the standard
question of "do you like to
sleep with a window open"
they will ask such ques
tions as "Do you have a
fear of low flying air
planes?", "Are you allergic
to gold plated drawer
pulls?," and "Would you
object to running down 17
flights of stairs during
a fire alarm?" Other per
tinent questions concern the
potential resident's swim
ming ability, if he prefers
Queen Elections, Vote
Dear Editor:
Tuesday and Wednesday
of this week are the days for
which many of the students
on this campus have been
waiting. The election of
this year's Homecoming
Queen has been a popular
topic of discussion for the
past several weeks. The
days when each student can
make his choice known are
now here.
But what will many stu
dents do? They will spend
hours discussing the proce
dures for selecting the
Homecoming Queen Fina
lists, but they will not go to
the polls and vote!! WHY?
The reason is beyond many
of us.
This year we are making
every effort to make voting
as convenient and rapid as
possible. With the polls
open from 8:30 to 5:30 on
city campus both days and
9-5 on East Campus on

The other day as I sat
In my room flipping a
pledge heads, I went to
class; tails, I went back to
bed I noticed a tag on
my chair, ''DO NOT RE
MOVE UNDER PENALTY
OF LAW," it read. This
aroused my curiosity,
which is quite difficult on
a Friday afternoon, be
, lieve me.
It also aroused my Ire
(that's temper, in case you
didn't know) cause I f i g
ured I'd take that tag off
if I wanted to. It was my
chair, after all. I'd even
take fhe legs off if I felt
like It. I felt like it so I
bravely went over and did
it. Once I had the legs off,
I decided to tackle the tag.
With the tag off, I began
to fear the outcome of my
rssh gesture. What now? I
pondered for a moment,
then wrote the name of my
roomie on the back of the
tag with a laundry mark
er. That would certainly
throw the authorities off, I
figured.
Feeling like a Superman,
I stepped into the nearest
phone booth to change cos
tumes. Imagine my embar
assment when I realized
that one of the newly col
onized fraternity houses
was holding their Monday
night meeting in the same
booth.
After checking the coin
return to see if some fool
had left their change and
pocketing the nickel (this is
how I make my living), I
stepped out into the day
light a new man, which was
i
his gardens sunk or un
sunken, and whether or not
locomotive exhausts nause
ate him.
Incidentally, I understand
that the two single rooms
in each hall are not for stu
dent assistants but are
known in psychology circles
as "solitary" and will have
padded walls and barred
windows.
What is more relaxing
than a 5 minute wait for an
elevator or a 30 minute line
at dinner? A 40 minute
swim, of course.
I hope University City
will be happy with the sta
tus symbol they are adding
to their skyline. I plan to
"cry a lot" when the new
dorm rates come out. I
think the "this place is bet
ter than home" attitude has
gone far enough.
Dan Dickmeyer
Wednesday, we hope that all
students will take ten min
utes for less) of their time
and VOTE FOR ONE. The
ballots will be machine tab
ulated so ballots that have
more than one mark on
them will be invalidated.
Student identifications will
be stamped with an official
stamp so living unit mem
bers whose ID's are checked
will not be tempted to mark
their own ID with a red pen
if they forget to vote! Please
note the voting times and
places on the Homecoming
Queen posters. Tassels
urges you to vote for the
candidate of your choice.
It's your vote that will
make her your queen.
Sincerely,
Carol Bischoff

frightening since I had been,
a woman.
What next I asked my.
self . . . perhaps I should
go write an expose on the
sidewalks about who John
Gait really is. Or perhaps
sabotage the junk they put
in the milk at the dorms
to lower the urges of the
boys and girls housed with
In (and still the rabbits keep
dying left and right.)
Both Admirable and
worth-while projects, I told
myself, but not really up
my line. They could be
saved for some night when
I was drunk.
Suddenly realizing my du
ty, I headed for Adminl to
see Him. He does exist in
reality.
Soon I was face-to-face
with Him.
"Sir?!'
"Don't let this suit fool
you, "I said. "I'm a girl."
"Oh. Well, what do you
want? You can't be a stu
dent. You're not wearing
Madras."
"Don't let this suit fool
you. I'm wearing Madras
underwear."
He was obviously flus
tered, so I decided to strike.
I rehearsed the speech I had
had Ten Sorenson ghost
write for me In case of
such a meeting and blurted,
"When In the hell are we
going to get some lights on
this campus."
, His eyes filled with tears
and I knew I had hit a vul
nerable spot in his administration-hard
heart.
I quickly added, "N o t
that I mind falling over un
even sidewalks in the dark.
Nor do I mind stepping in
to mud puddles "
"Well, then what is your
objection," he asked.
"Well, sir, I would like
to see who is lurking behind
the bushes. Then I'd know
whether to run away from
him or after him."
"Yes, I can see your
problem."
"Don't let this suit fool
you. I'm just fat."
He quickly put a pencil
in his mouth and lit it. -
Trying to get on his good
side, I offered him a pen
instead. He waved it aside.
"When did I first notice
that it was dark on cam
pus? I guess it was the
first time I fell down the
steps outside of Bessey last
year. That's when tt really
became obvious."
"Well, I did do something
about it then. I quit going
to my night classes, sort
of a personal protest."
"What happened?" ..He
asked.
"Nothing much," I an
swered. "ASUN made a
memo to start giving out
flashlights along with fesh
men beanies and I flunked
five hours of night classes."
"Then I noticed the dark
ness again outside of Bes
sey this year."
"Yes, I am clumsy, but
there were others on t h e
ground where I tripped,
too."
"Gee, sir. I don't think
they were. They usually re
serve that kind of thing for
the Columns. It was really
too dark to tell."
I could feel my paper
mache superman suit begin
to crumble and in fear of
being read to death I
quickly excused myself af
ter giving Him my BE
PARTICULAR button and
my own personal Captain
Midnight decoding ring.
And so, as the Carillion
bells played "What a Friend
We Have In Jesus," I once
again became NU student
059408 without a flashlight
or decoding ring to my
name.
