Circulation Manager Stanley Michael YOU EDUCATE YOURSELF Despite reduced appropriations and poor accomodations, the University of Nebraska still places within the easy grasp of every stu dent the opportunity to pain for himself a well-rounded education. Thru the efforts of faculty committees, the Student Union, and various undergraduate groups, every desirable type of cultural and intellectual entertainment is made available. Hut dishearteningly few students afford themselves the advantages of any of these extra-curricular functions, other than those appealing entirely to the social tastes. Imagination, originality, the spirit of adventure, appreciation man must have all these in addition to brains and academic knowledge to be a successful and useful citi zen. Yet these are not qualities acquired in a classroom. They are derived thru the broad ening influence of famous personages, thru thought provoking activities, and thru the enjoyment of cultural programs. To those who seek a truly liberal educa tion, the campus abounds with opportunities. A man who has not only traveled widely, but who has filmed countries never visited by other white men, recounted his many adventures Sunday. A man who has been in the midst of one of America's greatest problems, investi gation of Un-American activities by the Dies committee, spoke to a large group of students yesterday. For lovers of inspirational music and thought , the Great Cathedral Choir of fers its service every week. As a break in the bustling routine, the campus religious groups invite students for an hour of peaceful reflec tion at a vesper service this afternoon. A full program? Certainly, but not an unusual one. For the student who seeks, every week of the year is equally filled and brimming with worthwhile and pleasurable activities. A person is not educated who can not appreciate the beautiful things which abound in our seemingly ugly world. With out an appreciation for them there is little . happiness to be derived. It is definitely an important function of every university to afford everyone nn oppor tunity to develop his natural tastes. It is every student's duty to himself and to those with whom he would live to take advantage of those opportunities. A GOAL FOR LIFE As different in their contents as two mes sages can be were the addresses offered in the Union ballroom Sunday evening and Monday morning. And yet in the philosophy of one. we find the goal of the other happiness. In the vast, bleak Tibetan plateau, so far behind the civilization of our land that no wheel has ever turned in the guise of a mech anical aid, the people have lived for centuries in peace and tranquility. There they know happiness. "While in our own world, where man is civilized and science has eased the burden of every task, there is no peace, no tranquility. Here few find true happiness. It was his efforts to safeguard the tenets upon which our government was founded that brought fame to yesterday morning's speaker. He knows too well the massacre, the starva tion, the utter los of freedom and all humane sensitivities, that is the companion,! Nazism, Fascism, and Communism. lie" knows full well that we shall not allow foreign gophers to un dermine our government in the pretense of saving us. We can and shall take care of our selves and pursue our own happiness.
