Fellow Students?
Last evening student speakers appeared before every
organized group on the campus to give a short review o
the year's project of the YWCA-sponsored Inter-racial Re
search Committee. Providing material for the talks was an
amazingly comprehensive 16-page report prepared by the 30
members of the committee. These students have put a vast
amount of time and work into investigation of the situation
of members of the minority races on the Nebraska campus
at other schools and in Lincoln business and into the poin
of view of members of minority races themselves.
Based entirely on facts, the report, which is to be made
into a booklet and distributed next fall, gives a straightfor
ward picture of housing, social and employment conditions
in Lincoln, the university and other schools
Members of the committee state that their aims include
the achievement of more friendly personal relations on the
campus and that they would like to have every student be
come well acquainted with some person who is a member of
a minority race. They are also trying to show students the
importance of the small everyday incidents which contribute
to the feelings of one race for another.
We would like to quote some of the interesting bits of
information from the excellent work of this committee. The
following are statements and facts which we feel speak for
themselves.
At the University of Nebraska, "During the first semes
ter, 1945-46, there were 70 students of races other than
white. This number is classified as follows: Negro men,
eight; Negro women, 23; Nisei men, 12; Nisei women, 11;
others, men, 13; others, women, three.
"It appears that the only university house open to stu
dents of other races is International House, opened in 1944,
with the possible exception of some men's coop houses which
have accepted Japanese-Americans. The I house is available
to only a small number of the students and is not adequate
to the situation. In a recent poll conducted by the ag campus
YWCA a questionnaire was sent to parents of girls living in
a university coop house. The results showed that a large
majority favored more liberal housing arrangements. Sixty
four were willing that their daughters live in houses with
eirls of other races, while six were not. There was also a
place for reasons if they did not approve of a policy of in
clusiveness. The principal reason expressed by the few op
posing inclusiveness was fear of inter-marriage.
Of the 36 other colleges contacted, 11 reported that
their dorms were open to students of all races, four others
reported no discrimination, nine have separate state colleges
for Negroes, the University of New Mexico does not accept
Negro students and seven schools have some type of Inter
national House.
The only college at Nebraska which appears to have a
policy of racial discrimination, according to the report, is
the medical school.
The following are statements from students of minor
ity races enrolled at Nebraska:
"We are not asking you to solve the age-old problem of
race prejudice. No, that will take more time, schools and stu
dents. We are only asking that whenever and wherever it
is possible for you to remember, "It is the little things that
count." We enrolled as students; we'd like to be recognized
as students.
"We would like to be treated as individuals and not as
stereotyped Negroes.
"We would like to betreated just like the other stu
dents on the campus by all professors and advisors.
"We would like to feel that we have some friends among
students of other races whom we believe that we can trust
and whom we believe are really sincere.
"We would like to feel that when we do have some sort
of trouble or grievance we can go and confide in someone
on the campus who will help us.
"In campus buildings, especially the Student Union, we
do not want to be stared at as though we were an oddity or
spectacle."

Hulac to Speak
At Ag YM, YW
Meetinir Tonite
Charles Hulac, Rocky Mountain
region YMCA secretary, will
speak to a joint meeting of the
Ag campus YM and YW tonight
in the Home Ec parlors at 7:45.
His topic will be "Student Chris
tian Movement on Post-War
Campuses."
The former Presbyterian min
ister who was graduated from the
university in 1938, was president
of the YMCA when on this campus.
Hulac will meet with all re
ligious student workers at 4 this
afternoon in the Methodist student
house. The purpose of this meet-
ng which has been called by Rev.
Robert Drew, chairman of the
student religious group of the Re
ligious Welfare council, is to clar
ify and discuss the implications of
the United Student Christian
Council.
The cabinets of both the YM
and YW will hear Hulac talk on
The Need for Leadership of the
Student Christian Movement on
College Campuses" at 5 on Wed
nesday at Ellen Smith hall. His
talk will be followed by a dis
cussion and planning by the cabinets.
Plaintive strains of "Who will bear the Ivy," floated out across
the bleachers set up on the old campus Saturday, and the 45th Ivy
Day was under way.. Some 18 hours later the weary complaint "Who
can bear Ivy day" completed the traditional activities.
Week-long prayers and sun dances were rewarded with beau
tifully clear weather, which gave coeds a chance for double duty as
sun bathers. ROTCys suffered under their caps and coats, everyone
else wavered between roasting under wraps or braving the breeze
without them.
What a disappointment it would have been had the crownbearer,
flower girls and the other juveniles in the procession rone straight up
the aisle to the throne. Seems as though they're expected to cause a
bit of difficulty. Though not to give assistance to the orator as this
crownbearer did. After all, at three years old, he couldn't have been
expected, to win the election, even If he'd run on the Union Inde
pendent ticket. Green had a hard day Saturday, spent ten minutes in
the morning giving a first rate speech, then came through with a
good enough line at night to hang his pin.
Fcabee Halbakken arrived back on the campus just in time for
Old Home week Navy Hall is having open house this afternoon. As
though everyone hadn't already laid plans to go. Sorry, kids, but
they're stowing away or placing special escort near all souvenir ma
terial. Unless you'd be interested in anofficer or two. In order to kill
two birds with one stone, jjust ask the NROs which on ethey'd like
to give away.
Classic statements on The Big Contest thus far seem to be lim
ited to a terse three or four words instead of the twenty-five allowed.
One contestant said, "Why do I like his music? I don't.' Another
contended, "I'm his wife."
One of the sorority sisters was complaining the other afternoon
that all she had time for these days was to attend the teas which
required her presence as an officer. Came the retort of her com
rade, "With the beer situation the way It Is, teas are about all there
is to go to."
And the sign on the door said no more coke, cause they're sav
ing it for the beaten brains come exam week.
Things we never knew till initiations started: Actives can stand
holding lighted candles and sleep with their eyes open ... it is phys
ically impossible to crawl on your hands and knees with wrists tied
with binder twine . . . there are 420 minutes between midnight and
7 a. m. . . . when you're blindfolded, Limburger tastes as bad as when
you aren't blindfolded ... an elbow will blacken even a Mortar
Board's eye ... a bucket of cold water thrown by Beta Sigs from
the second floor is just as cold as the same commodity in a Sigma
Nu shower . . . when you can't see, it's simpler to fall up and down
stairs . . . two hours and 27 minutes is not an ideal night's sleep.
When Professor "T-Square" Smith asked his class the other day
what telescopes were used for, there were a few snickers from ATO
roof-dwellers, and then NRO Mac Graham blighted up with "They're
used ah, er they're used in the navy."
