A FINE WEEK-END
This last week-end was one of the better three day periods in
Cornnusker athletics that we can think of. Just to summarize the rec
ord, Nebraska took second place in the conference swimming meet,
second place in the conference wreitling meet, wound up its most
successful basketball season since 137 with a win over K.U., won
the invitational gymnastic meet at Colorado and the ROTC rifle squad
took first at Booneville, Mo.
To our way of thinking-, this last weekend demonstrates what
Chancellor Gus means by a well-rounded athletic program. It's true
that there isn't a conference champ in the list but the summation
makes Nebraska a power to be reckoned with anytime, anywhere.
More important than that, this fine record was achieved without any
ver-emphasis on athletics. In all sports involved, it is doubtful that
there were more than a dozen out of state men competing
One of the most amazing things about minor sports at Nebraska is
that they operate on a fiscal shoe string with relatively little publicity.
Athletic public relations cover them in fine style, but they are more or
less slighted by the state newspapers.
A lot of thanks should be riven to Coaches Hollie Lepley, Husker
swim mentor and one of the better contact men the university has,
Charlie Miller, a fine gymnast coach and a real gentleman, Harry
Good, the Iloosier shot in the arm that Nebraska basketball has needed
for bo long, Pat Patterson, now turning Nebraska into a first rate
wrestling power, and John Lovold, army sergeant and hard working
rifle squad coach. These men are doing yeomen work in putting the
university on the road to becoming an all-around athletic power. Con
gratulations to them all.

IOWA STATE LEAD
Iowa State's Cardinal Guild is leading the fight once more against
racial discrimination in the Big Seven. It is a fight that should never
have been allowed to die. Sustained publicity, with no punches pulled,
is the chief weapon students can use against the gentleman's agree
ment. The Iowa State governing body has decided to submit the recom
mendation made last November by representatives of five of the seven
conference schools to Iowa State's students. It is felt that favorable
action in the spring elections will add weight to the movement against
discrimination. Proposed ballots will contain the present regulation re
stricting Negro participation and the re-written clause which 4 as com
pleted on this campus.
The council should take heed of this action. If the Iowa State and
Nebraska delegations to the next faculty conference can carry with
them an expression of thousands of students, tabling may be avoided.
Dean Roy Green, engine college head and member of the board at the
university, wrote in his column "The Dean's Corner" in the Nebraska
Blue Print that proponents of ending discrimination in the Big Seven
were going about it in the wrong way. The Dean said that discrimina
tion cannot be legislated out of existence.
The Dean has either missed the point or is begging the question.
There has been no attempt to legislate discrimination out of existence.
There most definitely has been an attempt to end present discrim
inatory legislation. There is a vast difference between the two. We
agree with Dean Green that legislation is not the solution. We feel that
the end of legislation may serve to solve the problem.
An end should be put to the majority being dictated to by the mi
nority. If Oklahoma and Missouri do not want to participate in ath
letics on a democratic basis, let them get out of the conference! There
can be no legislation forcing action which is already considered a guar
anteed right in the Constitution, Dean Green. All we want to see is the

(Late note) According to late word from a Student Council
member Dean T. J. Thompson's office has cancelled the proposed
poll of the student body on the NSA question. The poll was nipped be
cause three deans deans voted against taking up class time Friday
morning to carry it out. a a
An OPEN LETTER TO THE STUDENTS:
One week from Wednesday in your nine a. m. classes you will
be handed a form on which yovi may indicate your pinion about
joining the United States National Student Association (NSA). This
poll is being conducted by the Student Council.
It was suggested that the council use the poll solely as a guide
and that three opinions be included on the ballot: "Yes," "No."
and "Undecided." It was implied that if, for example, 100 voted
"yes," 50 voted "no," and 2,000 were undecided, the "yes" plur
ality would not be binding. x
The council rejected this suggestion because it wanted the
students of the university to make the FINAL decision. It did try
to incorporate the "Undecided" opinion in the poll.
The essential features of the council poll are:
(1) The "vote" of the student body will be FINAL.
(2) Three opinions will be expressed on the questionnaire,
(
( )
( )
votes ONLY, will
Yes
No
I do not choose to vote
(3) A majority of the "yes" and "no"
determine the outcome.
(4) The "I do not chose to vote" ballots will be consid
. ered as not being cast.
The result is that the poll has the force of an election.
Further, the "undecided" votes will have no influence upon its
outcome.
Thus, in the above example, 100 "yes," 50 "no," and 2,000 un
decided votes would affiliate Nebraska with the NSA.
It is estimated that 4,500-5,500 students will be contacted by
the poll. For the election to be fair, it is imperative that everyone
make a decision and vote "yes" or "no."
