Lincoln Journal.
PICTURED ABOVE are Lee Pelton and Dick Lindberg, who run
the kingdom of Atzor, imaginary planet which now has internal
strife.
There's civil war afoot in Atzor!
Following the recent publicity in
Life magazine of the imaginary
kingdom ruled by certain univer
sity students, some of those stu
dents say the whole thing is an
outgrown kids game and they
don't wish to be included in it.
The "kids stuff" was started
when the founder, Lee Pelton, was
in Junior hij school. Out of a
brain child ot his came the king
dom which includes several coun
tries ruled by kings, queen3, dukes,
duchesses and maybe even a dic
tator or two.
"Darned foolishness."
Following the pictures in
Life
some of the Atzorians said they
thought it was "darned foolish
ness." They reported that they
had outgrown that sort of thing
long ago and went on to say that
the costumes which were worn in
the pictures were rented.
There seems to be distention in
the ranks also because the mem
bers say that they really aren't
part of it since it is really run by
Pelton and another student, Dick
Llndberg.
The members of this imaginary
planet carry on wars, swap
treaties, compile geanealogies and
map cities. They have a language
all their own and really carry on
this international politics business
to the finest degree.
Campus comment.
There has also been some com
ment on the campus since the pic
tures appeared in Life magazine.
Students definitely state that they
do not want people to think this
sort of business is associated with
normal student activity. In fact
they "wonder why Life ever ran
the darn thing."
It has all been quite a joke. One
thing the students want to make
sure. That people over the coun
try won't think this is typical of
Nebraska students.
According to Pelton, the recent
publicity has been wonderful for
Atzor. It has brought them out of
a slump. They plan to do big
things now. Some of the mem
bers however aren't so sure. One
scoffed that they've stooped to
taking in high school kids.
As far as most Nebraska stu
dents are concerned, it should be
taken back to high school, even
junior high. The farther the better.
Capitol
Personalities
GEORGE W. BEVINS.
Like a gentleman of similar
name in the British House of
Commons, Senator George W. Be
vins Is the Nebraska legislature's
chief champion of labor.
The senator is a packing house
worker from South Omaha, where
he has lived for 40 years. "I was
elected," he said, "to come down
here and do everything I could for
the laboring man.
Chief among Senator Bevins'
proposed legislation designed to
help the laborer is L. B. 41. That
measure would extend collective
bargaining rights to those workers
who do not now receive those
rights under national law; in other
words, those not engaged in inter
state commerce. Last week L. B.
41 was defeated.
But the introducer is confident
that under different conditions in
the future, a similar bill will be
come law. He declared that: "It
is not these senators who defeated
the bill; it is the traitorous leaders
of labor." Senator Bevins con
tended that the labor leader rack
eteers, and in this particular case
those who appeared before the
labor committee supposedly favor
ing L. B. 41, are defeating the
purpose of organized labor. "When
we get new labor leaders, the bill
will palss," predicted the senator.
Besides serving on the labor
committee, Senator Bevins is also
a member of the government and
enrollment and review committees.
