Nebraska FEPC Proposal Quiz
Reveals Student, Faculty Opinion
By Gene Bers
Mixed opinion was shown in
comments made by university in
structors and students when ques
tioned Wednesday about the FEPC
proposal to be brought before the
Nebraska legislature Monday,
Feb. 14.
The Fair Employment Practices
Commission act calls for "the em
ployment of all persons in accord
ance with their fullest capacities,
rc.v.rdless of their race, color, rc
lijion. natural origin or ancc:Ury,
and to safeguard their rig! t to ob
tain and hold employment with
out such discrimination."
WHEN THE BILL goes before
the labor committee of the legis
lature Monday afternoon, Univer
sity of Nebraska studenls will
present their views under the
leadership of Ted Sorcnson. re
cently appointed moderator of the
UNESCO conference on the Uni
versity campus. Student interest
in the bill has been led by the
Social Action committee, the
YMCA and the YWCA Person
nel committee.
Comments made to Daily Ne
braskan reporters include:
Alhin T. Anderson, assistant
professor of history: "At one time
a large part of the American
people were so convinced that
slavery was wrong that it provid
ed one incentive lor them to go
to war in the interest of its erad
ication. It was, in effect, a posi
tive alfirmation that the Consti
tution and the Declaration of In
dependence meant what it said
about human freedom and equal
ity. To abolish slavery meant a
repudiation of what a minority
had come to call their rights.
"FEPC has a similar mission in
our own day. It assumes that men
are men. no matter what their
color, what their creed, or their
political preference might be. It
takes a bold attack upon preju
dice. Politically prejudice is an
affront to our democratic tradi-

and our ideas when we realize
that Soviet Russia, a country
whose morals we repudiate in s.i
many areas makes prejudice pun
ishable by law, while here in the
United States the failure to exer
cise prejudice is punishable bv
law."
Charles Goolshy, graduate .stu
dent: "I believe that thc bill will
be a great benefit to society
through encouraging higher pro
duction. Every member of the
stale will have the right to be
come a responsible citizen. Many
people w ould hire minority groups
if the stigma attached to such hir
ing would be relieved."
Gordon I.ippett, graduate stu
dent and YMCA official: "It is
give more consideration about dis
crimination." S. J. House, instructor in politi
cal science: "I think the bill is a
beginning of the end of race pre
judice. It will involve education,
but we must begin somewhere.
After a while I think it will work
out, at least over a period of
years." ,
Dr. R. V. Shumate, professor of
political science: "The issue is all
mixed up in emotion. To the per
son favoring it, the question is
fair treatment to racial minorities.
To those opposing it, thc question
is whether we should "not dis
criminate or whether governmen
tal action will help the race situ
ation. There is often too great a
tendency to attempt to solve
someone else's problems. I can
not see where FEPC is en forc
ible, because of the endless diffi
culty involved in carrying out its
hopes."
