Dear Editor:
It is our belief that the recent controversy about student gov
ernment is of utmost importance to the University campus. We also
feel that the administration, faculty and students wish to have good
student government, but have not sought means of implementing their
desires. In light of this, the University YM-YW, two student-faculty
organizations, feel that we can meet together on the matter to the
mutual benefit of all.
To this end we would like to take this opportunity to inform
the student body that this Thursday evening at 7:30 in the YM
lounge in the Temple building, we are holding a round table dis
cussion about the present concerns of student government and stu
dent organizations. We Have invited Dean Thompson, Miss Mielenz,
Dale Ball, Chuck Thoene, Shirley King and Rex Knowles to share
with us some possible action in this area. Dr. Laase will be the
moderator.
The YM and rW feel that as organizations whose membership
includes both faculty and students, we should get the ball rolling to
clear up the situation through some democratic procedures.
Sincerely yours,
Jan Nutzman
President, University YWCA
Bill Router
President, University YMCA

Marine Vets Plan
Meet March 23
The Cornhusker detachment of
the Marine Corps league will
hold a meeting for all members
and any ex-Marines and their
wives March 23, at the Lincoln
hotel.
The league is the only veteran
organization consisting exclu
sively of Marines and former
Marines. It was incorporated by
an act of Congress, Aug. 4, 1937.
Serving as a liaison group be
tween students and the Veterans
Administration, it is active in all
veterans legislation and func
tions. v
Both men and women who
have served in the marines are
eligible for membership in the
league. A student representa
tive will be in the Union lobby,
Thursday afternoon to give in
formation on joining.
SHE: (timidly) ""Darling, there's something I want
to srry to you you'll think I'm aw full"
HE: (apprehensively) ".Yo won't, go ahead.1" (to
himself . . . ''Gosh . . . it's not Leap Year, either!")
In a recent conversation with an administrative offi
cial, we conceded that the University had valid grounds for

enterprise. Thus, admitting that the faculty committee on

rood reason for not sanctioning The Daily Nebraskan to
participate in a national contest u mm me muai iaumui
freshman. coed, we were straight-forwardly informed that
we were not being honest in allowing The Daily Nebraskan
to sponsor a contest to find Nebraska's most beautiful coed.
Why, then, was the contest held? There are several
reasons, none of which, we realize, are acceptable to the
faculty.
In the first place, The Daily Nebraskan, as told in last
Friday's story on the contest, paid little heed to the whole
business until we were informed that the U. of N. had
been selected as one of' the 15 universities m the United
States adjudged by 257 college newspaper editors is having
the most beautiful coeds. Pleased, if somewhat surprised,
at this outcome, The Daily Nebraskan decided it would not
show indifference to the comeliness of Nebraska coeds by
ignoring the contest any longer. Furthermore, we thought
it would be novel, if not unique, for the campus to have
one beauty contest that was for the singular purpose of
finding a beautiful coed without any prerequisites on basis
of sales, personality, contribution to campus life, average
and what-have-you.
Too, we thought The Daily Nebraskan was a free
enough press to make the decision as to the dangers of
the commercial aspect of the contest. Since the contest was
for students and was to be sponsored by a student organi-'
zation, we felt that the decision could be made by students.
In this particular case, our opinion was that the contest
was of an unusual enough nature that such procedure
would not become a habitual thing. Obviously, there is no
assurance of such an assumption.
Nevertheless, The Daily Nebraskan, possessing a hu
man failing of wanting to do something in addition routine
duties, proceded with the contest with an eye to adding a
new interest to a front page often criticized as being hope
lessly dull and for its own enjoyment.
A point not to be overlooked is that The Daily Ne
braskan, student newspaper, took a poll of students re-

SENATOR l.rOAS, Democratic
Senate leader, said he would move
to adjourn the Senate and aban
don the drive to-curb filibusters.
He tried to do this at one point
Monday night, but was prevented
by some Republicans and the
Southern Democrats.
Tho nnlherners are determined
not to let Senator Lucas drop thejgarding the contest and found that 92r'f of them favored

At this point, we would like to say, perhaps to the sur
prise of many, that no intimidations to The Daily Ne
braskan came from the administration. Despite rumors that
somenow got on the wires of one of the national news
sen-ices, neither the editor or entire staff was suspended
or even threatened with such. If the administration felt
that The Daily Nebraskan had made a mistake, it at least
allowed it the freedom to make that mistake. For that we
are deeply grateful.
To the professors who howled about the matter we say
this: hanging the threat of suspension oer the heads of
Daily Nebraskan staff members is comparable to what the
faculty has accused te faction of intimidating students
who would act in accordance with their own beliefs rather
than with faction say-so when those students are not in
agreement with faction policy. In light of several incidences
during the past few years, such accusations are just.
There must be freedom of the student press just as
much as there must be freedom in student politics. The
Daily Nebraskan is ready to go to bat for both.
