THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Wednesday, March 2, 1949
Dear Mr. Leger:
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion regardless if it is in
relation to the merits of the National Student Association or the
integrity of a columnist of The flaily Nebraskan.
The Letterip column of TheBaily Nebraskan has as its purpose
the expression of student opinion. In Miss Schneider's letter of
Feb. 24, she expressed her opinion. The editor is also entitled to
his opinions and may answer editorially questions which arise from
Letterips. However, when the editor's answer is of a derogatory
and personal nature and has no relation whatsoever to the subject at
hand, the editor has overstepped his authority. Such an editor's note
attached to Miss Schneider's Letterip volated newspaper ethics. There
was no need, to cast aspersions on Miss Schneider's letter concerning
NSA or on her grammatical proficiency.
If the columns written in The Daily Nebraskan are unable to
stand on their own feet but demand editorial support, these columns
are not worth the paper they are printed on.
Sincerely yours,
Barbara Speer

Faculty Cooperation Again...
In line with its campaign for more power for the Stu
dent Council, The Daily Nebraskan naturally favors Council
representation on the faculty committee on student organi
zations and social functions.
The Daily Nebraskan has its own little reason for
advocating such representation.
As part of a national contest to find "Miss Ail-American
College Freshman," sponsored by the Twentieth Century
Fox Film Corporation, The Daily Nebraskan answered a
wire asking the Daily to list what it considered the colleges
with the most beautiful co-eds. When notified that the
University of Nebraska was in the finals as one of the
colleges where the search would be conducted, The Daily
Nebraskan agreed to co-operate in sponsoring a contest td
find the most beautiful freshman co-ed who would be pre
sented on the stage of the Stuart on premiere night of
"Mother Is a Freshman."
We do not deny that the search is a novel part of a
t 1 1 J . f a 1 1 .
movie company s puDiicity campaign ior a iortncominrr
picture. However, since the movie is set on a college campus
and has a plot which revolves around college students, pro
fessors and administrators, we did not think it out of place
for the Daily to go along with the plan as have the other
fourteen universities and colleges chosen to participate in
the search.
And so the Daily, not realizing the limits of its freedom,
planned to go ahead with the contest and gave the Stuart
Theatre the impression that it would tind tne treshman
co-ed to be presented on premiere night.
Today we received a copy 01 tne letter addressed to
Mr. Butterfield at the Stuart. It is from the faculty com
mittee on student organizations and social functions. It
says that the committee "deemed it unwise to grant approval
to this organization (The Daily NeDr.asKanj to select a
freshman woman, representing the University, to appear
at the premiere or to be connected in any way with the
publicity and advertising of this picture."
Thanks, committee. We are glad to learn tnat tne
University of Nebraska can not do what the Universities
of Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Syracuse, Southern Meth
odist, Iowa, Alabama, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Utah, Cornell
and Penn, Iowa and Oregon state colleges can do.
We are glad to know that the staff members of The
Daily Nebraskan, comprised of seniors, juniors and sopho
mores from the various colleges, are not capable of making
such decisions.
One additional thing if we are going to follow a strict
policy of not tying the University up with any "commercial
enterprise or to be connected in any way with . . . publicity
and advertising . . ." should not the University reject the
contribution from the Cooper Foundation (which already
amounts to $31,100) for landscaping the campus? After
all, the Foundation does achieve a great deal of publicity
this way, all at the expense of the University.

would require the help of the Re

house that would limit debate by
a two-thirds vote. If such a meas
ure was passed, a filibuster would
be next to impossible.
But to pass such a rule, the
democrats need the help of the
Republicans in the senate. Sena

would disclose their attitude after
a policy committee meeting Wed
nesday. BELOW FREEZING tempera

of Nebraska freezing tempera

other rivers were still swollen.
THE JOINT chiefs of staff

Navy and Air Force. Anyway that
is what the heads of the three

said Tuesday.

the aid to Britain would not be

shown that Britain does need
help, Connally told reporters. And
any reduction, he said, would
hurt European economy.
