Helta Janes, iVbooa MMI Hail Engineers! r This week end will see the revival of two Nebraska traditions, a day loner Ivv Dav and Engineer's Week. Lack of time, materials and seniors, according to the Blueprint, have made it im perative that the first engineers' festivities to be held since 1941 be pared to one day s program, sched uled for tomorrow. Missing tomorrow will be the elaborate displays of open house of former years. In the past this day of hospitality was an excellent opportunity for towns people and students to become acquainted with the boys with the slide rules who inhabit the far west end of the campus. Other absentee highlights of the usual week will be the queen, and the parade. The engineering and law college feud appear to be dor mant at present. Involving the frequent disappearance of an old brown hat belonging to the lawyers and the re sulting destruction of the engineers' open house exhibits, the feud usually involved resulted in mass dunkings in the nearby lily pond. Tradition, and spirit, in this case typical ly Nebraska's. ' Included in the program, however, will be the usual all-student convocation, the field day and picnic, the student-faculty baseball game, the banquet, the tall story tell ing contest and the Engineers' Week ribbons which are much in evidence at present. Important also are the dis missal of engineering classes for the day and the chance Engineers' Week gives students and faculty members to work and play together and become better acquainted. It sounds to us like a grand idea for better, more pleasant relations between the hard working members of one of the school's outstanding colleges. We hope that by next year the entire traditional Engineer s Week can return.

Card Editor: This letter is not the result of a petty desire to have the last word; nor do I wish to carry on this argument indefinitely and lose sight of the issues at hand. However, Mr. Hopkins' letter cannot be left unanswered: 1. I cannot accept the assumption that the ma jority of our citizens are prejudiced; shockingly indifferent perhaps, but not prejudiced. If that implication is true, I don't see how our democracy with its policy of majority rule with respect for the rights of minorities can survive. Of the preju diced minority, some may be that as a result of a desire (cultural maybe, but certainly not native, Mr. Hopkins) to feel superior. There are other more pertinent and fundamental bases for intol erance too, but the main reason for prejudice in the vast majority of intolerant people is the fact that they were never taught not to be intolerant. 2. The extent to which legislation has been able to combat racial prejudice has been vividly shown by the President's Committee on Fair Employment Practice. Despite its multiple handicaps of insuf ficient funds', untrained staff, lack of enforcement powers, etc., it proved that at one point at least in our societal activities, discrimination can be over come. And the results have been permanent in a surprising number of cases; while it is generally true that members of minorities were the first to become unemployed in the period immediately fol lowing victory, the rate and percentage of unem ployment was substantially below that of similar periods before the Fair Employment Practice Com mittee was created. 3. The Constitution already guarantees civil rights to all citizens in the Bill of Rights; any fur ther legislation will only be to enforce these rights. The above considerations while important to an understanding of the total problem has only inci dental bearing on the policy of our university which as an educational institution has a moral re- The Ash Can By Marthella Holcomb Lay the velvet carpet, girls, Phi Rho is coming en masse to the interfrat sing Saturday.

The comments of each girl to her neighbor reached a genuine crescendo when the white two piece bathing suit appeared with one narrow strap for safety's sake. Even more inspiring was the gleam in the eyes of the floorwalkers when they announced that the next portion of the showing would be of shorts and bathing suits. Could almost have turned off the lights and still had plenty -of illumination. Best news of the evening for the men was not that fashion has put the okay on shoulderless dresses for street wear, thereby giving one some thing besides ankles at which to stare.

Mitchell Retires From Vet Slate For Next Year At a meeting of the Vets Or ganization i u e s d a y evening Chairman Marion Mitchell asked that his name be withdrawn from nomination statine that circum stances which have arisen in re gard to activities of the ensuing year stand in the way of his ac ceptance of the nomination. "I therefore ask that mv name be withdrawn from the election slate," Mitchell stated. Following discussion of the present issue before the Big Six concerning the racial controversy, the organization voted to lend its support on the matter to the Stu dent Council's stand calling for a revision of the existing rules. Tuesday, May 7, the organiza tion will hold its last regular meeting of this term. Election of officers for the summer ses sions will hold precedence on the agenda. 3000 SEATS AT $120 MON. EV'G..
