Hlg Aid The FBI Giving lhe University o Nebraska a chance to take the lend among middle western universities and colleges in the nationwide fin Kerprinting drive, 1 he local chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, will be in fingerprinting university students on May 11, should the student council approve the move at its regular meeting tomorrow after noon. Such a project backed by the FBI and state and local police forces would be advan tageous to university students, and the time spent in the actual fingerprinting process would be well worth while. In case of school disasters, accidents or kidnapings, the record of fingerprints in the civil identification bu reau in Washington would aid a great deal. Should the council place its approval on 1he move tomorrow, the fingerprinting bureau, under the direction of local police officials, would swing into action at the newly opened Student Union building. As planned now, it will be open from 9 until 5:30 from May 11 un til May 14 on the city campus. Ag campus students will have an opportunity to take ad vantage of the fingerprinting facilities from May It) to May 18. An outstanding part of the project is that the plan will be carried on without cost to either the university or students. Any fi nancial output involved in t'.e project will be assumed by the local police department and the federal bureau of investigation. That it will be almost a necessity that every student be fingerprinted, even tho not compulsory, is best seen in the advantages of fered thru such a plan. A letter from J. Ed gar lioover, director of the federal bureau of investigation, describes these advantages. He explains, "1 feel that every good citizen of our country should be protected by the infallible and unchallengeable identification afforded by the filing of fingerprints in the federal bureau of investigation civil fingerprint file. There is no stigma attached to having one's fingerprints on file at Washington. On the contrary, I feel that it is a privilege to have my fingerprints included in our records so that should any dis aster or accident befall me, my family and friends will be saved the anguish and suffer ing which accompany an unexplained disap pearance." An excerpt from an issue of the FBI law enforcement bulletin states, "The finger print method has been looked upon with prejudice and repulsion as being exclusively a police measure ; it is considered an infamy, proper only for thieves and murderers and unworthy of a decent citizen. This prejudice is fast losing ground before scientific propa ganda and education. Dactyloscopy should penetrate into civil, criminal, commercial, ad ministrative and international laws in order to offer its benefits to civilized society. "If we limit the use of fingerprints to criminal identification we bestow upon an ene my of society the most perfect met hod of posi tive identification and deprive the lawful citi zen of the advantages of this same system to which he is entitled. A prejudice against fin gerprinting is the only reason offered oppos ing the submission of fingerprints by citizens. The advantages of civil fingerprints are patent. Their use would eliminate the loss sustained by the cashing of bad checks ; the overlapping and duplication of personnel records would be reduced; losses occasioned by fraudulent conveyances and transfers of property would be curtailed ; unknown dead could be identified ; the location of amnesia and drug victims, missing persons, suicides, accident victims and others could be deter mined." There should be no stigma whatever to this method of identification if fingerprinting is properly considered. There should be no more reason why the permanent recording of the ridges of the fingers of a person should carry with them any greater stigma than that involved in the writing of an individual sig nature, or giving the description of ourselves which appear on passports, identification cards and the like. If there is a stigma in one in stance, then surely there is iti the other. It can only be attributed to tho peculiar, unwar ranted prejudices which develop with a com munity, but which cannot, and do not continue in the light of logic. The permanent record of fingerprints should constitute a source of satisfaction and security to the individuals whose fingerprints are recorded, reflecting sub stantial standing in the community. Should the council approve of llie plan to morrow, it will l- only to Ihe students' bene fit if they take advantage of the offer and arc fingerprinted.
