Dear Editor:
I sense in . your "last word
editorial of November 13th, ad
dressed primarly to members v of
the department of history faculty,
a note of disappointment in the
conduct of some of us who signed
a letter giving certain facts rela
tive to the career of Mr. Schusch
nigg. If there was any implica
tion in the protest against spend
ing state funds upon a speaker
of Mr. Schuschnigg's established
character that the signers wished
to engage him in controversy the
writer is unaware of it. Nor can
he see how the absence of mem
bers of the history faculty from
the meeting deprived the audience
in attendance of the benefits ex
pected from questioning and con
troversy. Perhaps it is worth repeating
that the protest voiced against
what Mr. Schuschnigg is. The
protest was made to the Chairman
of the Convocation Committee
weeks before it was published.
It is a protest against his charac
ter as revealed in his conduct of
a government as a fascist dicta
tor. Seven years in a Nazi prison
gives him no positive qualifica
tion to quote the democratic
language of Thomas Jefferson.
To what purpose would one ap
pear at a public lecture to de
nounce the character of the
speaker when the facts on which
such charges are based involve
the complex issues of central Eu
ropean politics? Such a discus
sion in the time available is the
more fruitless before any audi
ence that has not made a special
study of the events involved in
his career.
4
The writer regrets that the
student body that attended the
Schuschnigg meetings was disap
pointed, but he stated specifically
to one newspaper reporter that he
did not expect to attend, and he
doubted if other membes of the
history faculty were interested in
attending them.
Very sincerely,
J. L. Sellers.
Military Haul .
TTTm.Mprfiv nolline ' like botcakes becawe they're for one. of
those affairs which "everyone goes to" are tickets to the Military
Ball. If you're in ROTC and plan to wear your uniform you'll get
by on $3.30. If you're not in ROTC, but have a irusiy unuorm
hanging "mothball" in the closet which can bring up old shades
of war days and distinguish you as either commissioned or en
listed, you can wear that and still get by on s-J.o.
If you prefer to wear a tux, or suit, and leave the uniform
wearing to the men of the ROTC, you'll get in for no less than
M-40.
Whether in uniform or not, you're going w De paying more
vmi aa it voar. either thirty or forty cents. And you prob
ably won't question it, because you'll listen understandingly while
hearing "everything's going up, you know, so we ve got vo raise
ticket prices from the ROTC ticket sellers.
W havo n nuosHnn. thnnirh When the Cobi and Tassels can
give a Homecoming dance with an $1,800 band, charging $3.00 per
couple, and make a profit, where lies the reason why the Mili
tary department aopnsoring the Military Ball with a $1,500 band
(Sonny Dunham), $300 Jess than that of the Homecoming dance,
asks thirty cents more per couple, in many cases, and $1.40 more,
in a greater number of cases, per coupie?
Anyone care to answer? N. L.

26 major college football teams have players who were
graduated from the White Plains, New York, High School.
This gold mine of college football talent is mainly the product
of one Len Watters, who took over the team when it was an
also-ran and coached it to national fame.

Sleeping Dog . . .
The Big Six racial discrimination clause is under fire again.
Following an announcement by Cardinal Guild, Iowa State's senior
men's honorary, that the organization was asking a revision of the
existing rule which prohibits Negro athletes from participating in
conference competition, the provertual sleeping dog was aroused.
Nebraska studerit government leaders quickly pledged support of.
the move and even went one step further by calling a conference
of student leaders of all the Big Six schools on this campus, at
which -time the issue is to be discussed.
The idea of presenting the Big Six Board of Governors con
crete evidence of student feeling on the issue is good. But, owing
to the speed with which this student conference was conceived, will
anything of importance be accomplished? What sort of a plan for
discussion groups has been established? Will both sided of the argu
ment be presented?- Will any local clergymen or laymen, repre
senting both races speak? Each school represented is to have one
vote . : . vote for what? Are the respective delegates, merely going
to meet, attend a Nebraska football game, cast a vote (and go home,
or will a well-planned agenda of round table discussions, be at their
disposal for consideration? Minor questions but important ones.
The Student Council represents 10,000 students and since the Coun
cil is assuming the sponsorship of this student conference its repre
sentatives must keep in mind that their expression is merely an
echo of student opinion on this matter. Has the Council made a
sound test of the Nebraska student body's feelings regarding the
matter?
To repeat, the conference idea is a sound one but if it lacks
preparedness it could also be disasterous. The proposed date of the
student leader meeting is little more than a week away and the
necessity of the confab is questionable. For the Council's own
benefit a complete agenda should be announced as well as the re- ,
sponse of other campuses to the proposed meeting. A sleeping dog
may not bark but he might bite!
