Good Sportsmanship?
After last Monday night's game with Drake it seems
pretty obvious hat Cornhusker fans need very little coach-
nig on uie nignipomis or me cronx cneer or a reasonable
lacsimile there of.
Not going so far overboard as to say that at times dur
ing the court tussle there wasn't reason to become a little
vehement, the fact still remains that boos far surpassed
Dotn in volume and spirit any cheers that were executed
during tne game.
Nebraska's Cornhuskers have maintained a reputation
far and near for good sportsmanship, both at home and
away. Such a reputation is a valuable asset from the point
oi ainietic staDinty and in promoting general good will with
iicigiiuuimg university competitors.
Not being so idealistic as to think that the best man will
win no matter when the ref blows his whistle, it still seems
wortnwniie to mention that a "well-modulated boo" never
gained much of anything except a certain amount of self
satisfaction, and only momentary at that!
Might we suggest that more emphasis be placed on good
rousing Cornhuskers cheers. There's certainly room for im
provement in that department. And with the record crowds
that are now attending the games, the roof should rise a
good five inches with everyone's cooperation.
Just athought: Our team itself is placed in a pretty
embarrassing position when booing against the visiting
team fairly rocks the rafters.

Federalists Will
Discuss ilnited
Nations Thursday
The Student Federalists v411
meet in room 202 Sosh at 7 p. m.
Thursday, to discuss the United
Nations.
The program will center around
a talk in which the 'structure of all
phases of the U. N. will be
analyzed. Following the talk, there
will be a discussion from the
floor, during which the various
accomplishments and failings of
the organization will be consid
ered.
The chief objections to the
United Nations that federalists
raise are: 1.) members of the or
ganization are nations rather than
individuals, and 2.) the UN lacks
the power to prevent secession
and the might to enforce any of
its decisions. The meeting is open
to all students or faculty mem
bers.
At the business meeting follow
ing the discussion, final prepara
tions for the joint meeting of the
Student Federalists and the Uni
tarian Youth, to be held Sunday
night, will be made.
According to an editorial In
the Syracuse Daily Orange, a lit
erary movement designed to rev
olutionize ttie teaching of Eng-
lishe in American schools and
colleges has been proposed at the
36th annual meeting of the Na
tional Council of Teachers of Eng
lish. Two proposals were present
ed at the meeting one to give
English writers a back seat to
American authors and poets, and
the other stating that American
youth has been confused by such
grammatical myths as the split
initiative. The Daily Orange
agrees with the second roposal,
but in regard to the first, it says
that such a proposal smacks heav
ily of a trend to nationalize our
culture as European cultures have
been nationalized, and that Amer
ican authors should stay in the
background until our literature is
worthy of competing with English
literature.
University of California stu
dents living at West Haven Guest
House are planning to file a com
plaint with the OPA, stating that
they are being overcharged for
rooms. They are aying $60 a
month for a room and two meals
per day, and they say that the
landlady refused to rive them an
itemized receipt. Two or three
students occupy each room, and
each student pays the full $60.
Twenty-three students live at the
house.

ans Views, weekly radio program

Abe Katz and John Stong, law
college students, and Charles
Serby, teachers college graduate
student, will lead the discussion.
Recent discussion of the

much interest in labor manage
ment problems. Interest in labor
problems, plus the timelineses of
this week's topic, caused the selection.
All students, veterans or not,
are invited to come and air their
views.
They're playing bridce at Iowa
State, too. One columnist in the
Daily Student reports that the all
college bridge tournament is mak-
ng everyone bridge conscious, and
that one coed got so wrapped up
n a game one evening that when
she dashed down to house meet-
ng she answered "Bye" to roll
call. "Undoubtedly Frilev Hall's
Number Six team will win. "the
columnist predicts. "With a fel
low named Culbertson playing for
mem, now can they lose?"
