Hey, Huskcr! Let's be friends.
One more theory on what this campus needs some
thing sometimes tritety referred to as "fun and fellow
ship." Or friendship.
What better time to wipe away the petty differences,
the long faces, the short words, the cool aloffness than
Spring, than Eastertide? What could be finer than to let
sunshine and friendly greetings intermingle for the relaxa
tion of all of us?
Let's be friends. Let's let Spring do what Winter, cold
and kind of gloomy, could never do. loot's relax, smile, and
maybe even meet our days with cheerfulness.
A student's life isn't so tough. Yes, it may be marred
with six week's tests, wage-earning on the side, uncertain
housing, irregular meals but there are compenstations.
Or there should be. There should be a strong bond of
friendship existing between fellow students of a University.
There should be moments of fun and inspiration in addi
tion to intellectual development.
All over the world the big guns and sometimes even
the little guns spend all their time bickering, bickering,
bickering. Just for a change can't there be an Easter
renaissance of the things that really count?
Yes, Husker, let's be friends. Let's enjoy this fresh
new season of Spring. Together, let's bring iife spirit
back to this University we've chosen to call our own.

THE DATT.Y NEBRASKAN
Dear Editor:
Self-styled sapes are busily giving us the benefit of their profound
wisdom in regard to the red-hot issue, viz: "What's wrong with ye
olde campus?" Various interesting and sundry reasons are given for
the pitiful state of affairs: Lack of social activities (or participation
in same), the administration is cock-eyed, cheating in final exams,
barbs just can't seem to fit in, et cetera, ad nauseam. Open your
eyes, kiddo! and take a look at the real trouble: the mass of intel
lectual peasantry that presumes to call itself the student body is sat
urated with apathy, and cares absolutely nothing for anything more
remote than the end of their own noses. When football and social
blah-blah fail to rouse the children from their slumber, how can such
vague dream fantasies as student political action, international cul
tural understanding, or mature thinking on any line be expected to
flourish?
Even the personal ambitions of Joe College and Betty Coed are
insipid and unimafiinativr. Do you think that they're interested iti
contributions to civilization, or an adventurous career, or understand
ing the world, or anything so far-fetched and "impractical"? Of
course not. The supreme coal of undergraduate Shmoo. in this year
of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-nine, is to sink into a nice,
well-padded niche of the besotted middle class, where he can w allow
in trivialities and hang on to dear old security for all he is worth.

Dear Editor:
In glancing through your article on "Research in Biology," which
appeared in the Wednesday, April 6th issue, we of the graduate school
of Zoology ran across the following statement:
"In comparison with other universities the Nebraska graduate
student, who is doing part-time research, is underpaid. He receives
an average salary of $1,000 to $1,200. The typical Big Seven univer
sity pays him $900 to $1,000; the typical Big Nine university pays him
$1,200 to $1,400."
According to these figures, it L
for the highest stipend a graduate
flMA,i. vr cr.mr.iH-.ci for
of 12 hours per week assistance. This is approximately one-half ,-f
the amount your papei states as the average salary at the other uni
versities, and certainly much less than your article would lead non
informed parties to believe is the case at this university. This infor
mation about salaries was not, we are sure, received from one of the
graduate students in this department. j
If your article is correct we are receiving only one-half of what ,
we should; and can do better at any of the Big Seven or Nine schools,
even those which, according to your article, pay the lowest salaries.
However, if the article is mistaken, we feel that it would be only lair
to print the actual figures.
Yours in the search lor Truth;
