"Racial discrimination? Sure, I'm against it. Who isn't? After all, this is a free country ..." Familiar? Yes, it's a common thing heard about cam pus these days. But how sincere is it? That is the question. It sounds good to sermonize on the deplorable conditions in the South relating to allowing equal rights to Negroes. Yet what good is the ideal if students sit back and say, yes, the situation is bad there, but not here. In effect, that is what many students have done in the past week. The specific incident we are referring to is the speech of the distinguished Walter White last week on racial discrimination problems. An overflow crowd attended the convocation and applauded when White condemned a re actionary senator from Nebraska who is opposed to Civil Rights legislation. And then wjiat? Fraternity, sorority and independent students went home to dinner and joked about 'Tinky" and "Abie." It happened more than once. Where's vour sense of humor, you may say. But if we can joke so flippantly about such a serious problem, how sincere are we when we say we want "equal rights"? What we are getting at is this: Nebraska has made a good start toward lessening the racial problem on this cam mis bv liftinsr of discriminatory clauses bars on the admit tance of women to the university-operated residence halls. It's only a start, though. Another stait was made last week in Washington. D.C., when a resolution urging the striking out of discriminatory clauses of fraternity constitutions was adopted by the national interfraternity conference. The effect is more important than the fact. Will girls in the women's dorm who are of other than Caucasian extrac tion really be allowed to live in the dorm without any dis crimination whatever? Or will they be stuck off in a corner of the dorrn by themselves? And the fraternities. Very little can come of the resolution, says one interfraternity council member who attended the meeting. It was only a resolution no enforcing clauses. Something like having your cake and eating it too, we presume. What the campus, and the nation, needs is a practical plan for the elimination of discrimination in the minds of people, as well as in their actions. We have no profound so lution except this only by thinking about the problem ill a solution be reached.
