THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE?
The affiliation with NSA
talk and thought on this campus than has appeared in many a
moon. In one sense, NSA has already fulfilel dan important role
on the Nebraska campus in that
However, there is still a deplorable lack of knowledge on the
part of many students in connection with the issue. This lack of
knowledge is designed mainly by the NSA's critics who apparently
have decided that they are opposed to NSA and have made no
further attempt to investigate the organization. If this was not
the case, these critics would not
and level criticisms at these small details alone.
It should be clearly understood that mention of such plans
as the privilege card system, standarization of credits and reduc
tion in costs of dance bands are merely plans. There has been no
definite action or commitment made on any of these plans na
tionally. Investigation of the possibilities of such programs is be
ing made at the present time. If proved to be practicable in a
pegion, the information will be turned over to the national office
and will then be available to any region that desires it. It will be
up to the individual campus as to whether it wants to participate
in such action.
Objections have been raised to certain portions of the con
stitution. In particular, these objections have encompassed the stu
dent and faculty bills or rights. The Daily Nebraskan wil Ipublish
an article in its Sunday edition explaining the bills of rights and
attempting to clarify many questions that have been raised about
them.
Jeanne Kerrigan, managing editor of The Daily Nebraskan,
wrote an editorial Wednesday questioning the necessity of NSA at
Nebraska. The question is a legitimate one. Miss Kerrigan's case
in point was not.
The Daily Nebraskan staff is in an unusual position since it
is not often that a newspaper carries a debate in its editorial col
umns conducted by three members of the paper's staff. Such a
predictment would not occur if The Daily Nebraskan was not a
free, uncensored, representative student newspaper. Miss Kerrigan
and George Miller, the other managing editor, represent one view.
This writer represents the other.
In the opening paragraph, Wednesday's editorial challenges
a Letterip signeu by a law student. Miss Kerrigan, choosing her
words carefully, implied that the letter might not have been writ
ten by a law student because it was unsigned. The Editor of The
Daily Nebraskan knows who wrote the letter and guarantees that
he is a bona fide law student. The letter wa sanonymous because
its writer is a fraternity man and feared that his signature might
in some way commit his fraternity. His request for anonymity
seemed reasonable and was granted in good faith. If absolutely
necessary, we believe that his name can be published.
In reference to the challenged aims and purposes of NSA,
we refer tar the preamble of the constitution where they are clearly
stated. Miss Tremper, at last Thursday's meeting, gave specific ex
amples of how each purpose was to be accomplished. If her critics
had been listening with any honest attempt to understand and
learn, such callenges would not be necessary.

Dear Editor:
Last fall I had the privilege of
enjoying the Kosmet club show
The skits which the show was
comprised of manifested the in
genuity and accomplishments of
some of the fraternities on the
camnus. In SDite of the unpre
dictable weather ( it snowed),
the Coliseum was filled.
Last Tuesday night at the Ne
braska Theater, behind closed
doors .the sororities of the UN
camnus held a Coed Follies,
sponsored by the AWS. One out
standing feature 01 the t-oea
Follies is that it is for women
only. Why can the AWS pass
a ruling that prevents over half
the student body from seeing tne
Coed Follies? Surely the AWS
wouldn't sponsor off color plays,
or would they?
If the Kosmet Club would
stamp its yearly review "Men
Only," the officials of the uni
versity would be m an uproar.
As a student of this university
I would like to know if the acts
are fit to be seen, by the entire
campus, and if so, why aren't
men allowed to attend and if not,
why does the university sanction
such practices by the AWS.

A Thought
Our world is at the fork of the
road. We can each go off in our
own direction, running the risk
of violating the rights of someone
who has ideas which are op
posed to ours. On the other hand,
we can try to achieve a workable
plan by which the most goals of
the most people are fulfilled.
It is therefore the duty of each
of us to do our best to support
the instruments which will pro
vide us with the knowledge
necessary for a sympathetic
understanding of the diverse po
litical decisions made in other
parts of our world.
Channels of information which
will provide an exchange of
knowledge from one part of the
world to another should be util
ized. Student organizations which
compare the situations on politi
cal scene with another, wide
reading on political issues in our
own and foreign governments,
and discussions with exchange
students who have had a chance
to compare their government
with ours; each of these is im- '
portant to the whole picture. '
We ,as students, should take
the chance to help form the
world for which we will be re
sponsible in the very near future.
. We must, therefore, raise our
voices in an organized and pow
erful cry, to assure ourselves that
the policies formed follow the
principles of the greatest leaders
of all time.
