THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
BROTHERHOOD, A FARCE
Brotherhood Week has come and gone at the university. Its
arrival created scarcely a ripple in the calm, complacency of an
attitude that pays lip-service to democracy and little else. One
or two religious groups held meetings on brotherhood week. The
Daily Nebraskan printed two editorials on the subject and there
was little other sign that anyone in the university realized such
a week was going on.
In fact, there is little proof that anyone even cares about
brotherhood at Nebraska. True, there are incidents in which in
teiest is evinced. However, these incidents are few and far be
tween and quietly fade away into the oblivion that grows out of
utter and complete ignorance on the problem of racial discrimination.
For three years, this writer has been attending classes at the uni
versity and has yet to hear more than passing comment by faculty
members on a problem which becomes more and more pressing
as the days go by. In the main, such comment has been made in
political science, English or sociology classes. Elsewhere, when the
subject is mentioned it is politely passed over or completely ruled
cut. either because of prejudice in the faculty or a lack of interest.
What action must be taken before professors feel free to openly
state that Negroes are the physical, mental and moral equals of
whites? What action must be taken to inform the students of
the outrageous fallacies stated in anti-semitism or any of the other
antis? How long will it be before the university administration
and faculty begins to teach a positive, constructive approach to
the basic democratic idea that all men are and always have been
created equal?
This is not just an academic discussion of prejudice. It is a
challenge to the faculty. Education is the only solution for dis
scrimination. Students cannot be educated until they are given
the plain blunt facts without equivocation.
Until such education is started. Brotherhood Week at Nebraska
will remain a farce along with all the other high sounding ideals
that are preached but prove to be hollow when put to the test.
SUPPORT THE RED CROSS
Since the ALT drive opened on campus for funds for the
Red Cross, a lot of unkind things have been said about the organ
ization. GI's in particular have

'e would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm part of Norm's
case.
It is probably true that there were single incidents of, abusive
practices in the Red Cross. We cannot think of one organization
anywhere in the world that has not suffered because of one or
two or three such examples. However, it seems that the Red
Cross' critics forget that the organization was tremendous in its
scope. For every one example of mismanagement, 100 cases of in
valuable aid and good can be cited.
Any student would have to be extremely narrow-minded and
one way to condemn the Red Cross on hearsay or rumor. Loosen
up the purse strings. There isn't another organization like the Red
Cross and the countless acts of mercy and good that it performs
far outweight any petty criticisms that might have come about in
the confusion of the last war.
