What Help?
The Independent Student's association appears to be
fighting a losing battle for
statement published in Monday's Daily Nebraskan, the
newly-appointed president of the organization, Jim Toma
sek, declared: "ISA is on its way out, unless there is a
change in the type of support the association receives from
the 'Indpendent.' "
We agree that independent student support for the or
ganization has been sadly lacking in the past. With a pos
sible membership of over 4,000, ISA has succeeded only in
interesting a very small segment of students to carry the
brunt of an "Independent" organization.
As a political influence, the organization has been es
pecially weak. Very few times in the years immediately pre
ceding the Interim Council have unaffiliated students gained
seats on the Student Council or enjoyed a class position.
Some very outstanding men
places in campus activities,
their own untiring efforts and
organization.
But the faculty help and
student is just as strong as the student support for the or
ganization. The Student Council constitution was taken
from student hands and passed to the faculty for "revi
sion." The reason: discrimination in the election clauses.
The result: two years of work and effort by Interim Coun
cils, trying to draw up a constitution which will receive the
approval of the faculty regarding seating of Council repre
sentatives; namely, assuring the independents "fair and
equal' opportunities.
Justification for this faculty support is at the present
time difficult to understand. If a group of students is not
interested enough to support its own organization, we fail
to comprehend the reasoning of the faculty to fight this
organization s battles.
It will be interesting to
faculty will take towards helping ISA to its feet again. '
Three Plays on

By Rex Messersmith
Well, another hectic Home
coming week end has rjacsed
and Ag college is trying to settle
down to business again. The
Home Extension agents and
( County agents
swelled the Ag
H omecoming
crowd quite
bit
C ongratula
tions are due
the University
Builders who
have expand
ed their pro
gram to in
elude Ag col

lege. I would
like to wish
Messersmith
Jim Williams luck in this new
venture and I'm sure we Aggies
win De Demna mm all the way,
mis plan, as outlined in yes
terday's Rag, should publicize
mis wonderful campus of ours
to high school students who are
undecided about which college
to attend at NU.
Seems to me there is lots of
work to be done, but I'm con
lident this experimental plan
win reap great profits.
There was some mention made
in "Tall Corn" last week about
Halloween pranksters, on As
I'll concede that the pranksters
were well repaid for their devil
ishment on Halloween nieht
From unofficial reports, at least
two -new Buildings were found
on the campus the morning after
naiioween and the Ag Union
building committee was not re
sponsible, I'm sure! Oh well,
people will be people.
Have you noticed the progress
made on the new parking lot
norm or j,ti. Hall? That project
is really moving along! I'm not
so sure which way, though, be
cause they have been working
on it since school started last
fall, and it's not done yet. Be
patient, though, it should be
done by Christmas vacation
time, when it will be used to the
utmost.
In my opinion, Block and
Bridle club, Ag Economics club
and the Vo-Ag Association
should feel honored to have such
a man as Gladwin Young to
speak at their joint meeting to
morrow night. What he has to
say should not be missed by any
one who is interested in the Mis
souri Basin project.
Have you noticed how beauti
ful Ag campus is becoming now
that fall has arrived? Just grab
a look down the mall next time
you get a chance and take notice
of the various hues of color to
be found there.
I didn't get a chance to listen
to "Requestfully Yours" last
Monday afternoon, but from all
reports this program put on by
'station' KDEL is quite a suc
cess. Wayne Foster and Chuck
Hull are the originators and
have said that the success of the
program depends on whether or
not the students place their re
quests in the box in the Ag
Union.

Religious Speakers Visit
Campus Organized Houses
By Ann Gilligan
Thirty-seven houses 'had
speakers Monday night, Nov. 8,
and 12 houses had speakers
Tuesday, Nov. 8, as part of the
activities of Religion - in - Life
Week. Visiting leaders and reli
gious leaders from Lincoln are
participating in the visitation.
The talk at the Kappa Kappa
Gamma house by Father Swei
gart. University Episcopal
chapel, was based entirely on in
formal discussion. Humanism
and evolution were the topics
the girls seemed most interested
in. Father Sweigart stated that
the universe is fairly fixed, in
that it has much culture and a
definite purpose.
On the subject of evolution,
the girls were told that "man is
distinguished from animals in
that man has a mind and is on
earth for a particular purpose."
He said that animals are on
earth mainly to serve man in
the way of food, clothing, and
various other necessities of life.
A discussion of unitarianism and
the Presbyterian, Episcopal, and
Mohammedan religions complet
ed Father Sweigart's talk.
Dr. Frank Court
"What Are the Earmarks of
a Worth-while Religion" was the
topic of Dr. Frank Court's speech
at the Alpha Phi house.
"A religion worth having
teaches people how to live with
themselves," Dr. Court said. The
Greeks' theory of "be yourself"
proves that man should be able
to live with himself and can
only do this by gaining the in
ner sense . of joy religion pro
motes by being close to God.
Dr. Court stated that each per
son's own church will give him
peace of mind. He told how
Rabbi Lehman's book, "Peace of
Mind," showed that religion

The book shows how some
youngsters who are emotionally
hurt don't make a sense of ad
justment to enable them to live
with themselves. Religion can
help any case of maladjustment.
"The only trouble with the
world lies in the hearts of the
people," quoted Dr. Court, to
bring out the fact that "religion
is needed to help us live with
one another." The Harvard
school of business stated that 75
percent of this country's business
failures are caused by inability
in getting along with people.
"Life is a continual state of ad
justment. Religion is a vital fac
tor in helping us adjust our
selves in this state."
Rev. Dutton
Rev. Rolland N. Dutton, Prot
estant, discussed ."Science Ver
sus Religion" at the Alpha Tau
Omega house. He stated there is
no conflict between religion and
science, unless bad science mixes
with good religion, or vice versa.
He told of his World War II ex
periences and gave examples
from his travels in Russia, Bel
gium, and Holland to illustrate
his religious talk.
Rabbi S. H. Barron told mem
bers of Theta Xi'that the term
"Jew" does not refer to a na
tionality or race, but to a par
ticular religion. He said the Jew
believes in unity of one God.
