Artificial Life .
A reply to our inquiries about and statements against
me "intervention 01 tne student uouncu in the ISA prob
lem has been given in a Letterip yesterday. The Council,
supported by an article in its constitution, feels it should
investigate the declining ISA and make recommendations
to the organization. ISA is reserved the right to decline
this help if they feel it is not necessary.
We were not questioning the constitutional rights of
the Council, let tae courageous words of a constitution
article do not necessarily represent a criterion for the ad
visability for such an investigation. It was not the con
stitutional power of the Council that we doubted, but the
wiseness of the action. In our opinion the Council can
not provide the organization with the life it needs. Such
spirit generates within an organization itself, no in. another
group.
In the interests of the loyal ISA members who wish
for the continuance of the organization, we hope the Coun
' til's decision to investigate will be helpful. But we continue
to maintain that ISA could accomplish the same effect if
they so desired. We hope the Council realizes that it is
impossible to inject spirit in any organization despite the
amount of ideas, projects and theories provided to place
said group back on its feet. You cannot give an organiza
tion artificial life!

The first thing that comes to

To the Editor:
In today's "Rag," a 'Letterip" was printed by Phyllis Heaton
(a young lady whom I do not know), which attacked the present
leaders ot ISA and the condition of that organization in general.
I am not a member of ISA, or of any other campus organization,
but I feel that a letter such as Miss Heaton's requires an answer.
1. Miss Heaton's letter seems to me merely to exemplify the
attitude pointed out by ISA President Tomasek: that the independent
student is, actually, unwilling to whole-heartedly support an organi
ration such as ISA. The fact that Miss Heaton is unwilling to
support ISA merely because of a leader, who was elected by a
majority in an all-Independent student election, confirms my "atti
tude," (to quote from her own letter), which she is guilty of
justifying.
2. I believe that the quality of being able to look facts squarely
in the face is an admirable one, too seldom found in campus ac
tivity leaders. ISA is in a precarious position, finanically, to justify
either serious re-organization of purpose and policy, or disbandment
(This is to say nothing of its obvious lack of support among the
students even among its own members.) When Tomasek took
office, he stated in a public letter, that he had supported disband
ment, for the above-mentioned reasons (lack of funds and support),
but he had been voted down by a majority of ISA members who
wished to continue their efforts to right the sinking ship of which
he had been elected vice president (an office which implied, though
ISA voters, among them. Miss Heaton, may not have realized it,
that he would be expected to take over the presidency at any
moment). He agreed to abide by this majority vote and expressed
his belief that with proper cooperation, the organization could be
saved. Now, however, Miss Heaton, who was herself one of the;
ISA members who wanted to continue, has pulled out, leaving a
rather peculiar dog-in-the-manger atmosphere behind her. Per
haps Miss Heaton hopes to prompt a resignation from the ISA
president. ISA would obviously be benefited, for they would once
again have with them a young lady who, to quote her own words,
would be "eager to help" and who would "work and work hard."
Work and help, if and when, that is, she could have the organization
run to suit her personal convenience. I have no doubt that Miss
Heaton would be capable of withdrawing from her position as a
citizen of the country, if a vice president whom she happened to
think lacked "leadership" were to succeed as president
If a president of any organization, voted in by a majority,
tries, though it be against his own opinions and judgments, to
follow as ably as possible the wishes of that majority, I personally
congratulate him. And I do not think that he should be held"open
to such obviously personal and unprompted remarks and attacks
as Miss Heaton's "Letterip" obviously and personally is.

Ag Builders Campaign Opens
New members for one of five
committees will be solicited to
day by Ag Builders. Students
may sign up at a booth in the
Ag Union from 9 a.m. to noon
and from 1 to 5 p.m.
The new committees and their
chairmen are: Membership, Pat
Acken; parties and conventions,
Joan Raun; publicity, Frank
Sibert; tours, Jeanne Vierk, and
gales, Clayton Yeutter.
The parties and conventions
committee works with the cor
responding committee on the city
campus and holds parties for
vitin croups to the Ag campus.
The publicity committee pub
licizes the Ag campus activities
and contributes news and articles
to University publications. Peo

who have had previous expe
rience in writing.
Members of the sales com
mittee are in charge of the sale
of calendars and student direc
tories and various other projects
carried on during thf yeaar.
The tours committee has
charge of tours of the Ag cam
pus made by high school students
and others who are "looking
around."

I feel about it.
If the money
is avai 1 a b 1 e
for a project
of this kind,
why not use it
for
ion
than g
dance or some Messersmith
similar event? After alL a TV
set would benefit more people
over a longer period of time
than a dance and the Union
money comes from all the stu
dents. So, no matter how you feel
about it, pro or con, I urge you
to get out and express your
feelings by this vote. If the final
vote does not agreed with your
ideas and you didn't vote, there
should be no gripes floating
' around.

; Congratulations are due Bev
erly Kunc and Charles Klasek
who have been chosen to enter
tain at National 4-H Club con
gress, Nov. 26 to SO. They are
part of the Saline county trio
that has been picked by the na
tional committee on boys and
girls work as congress entertain
ers. The other part of the trio is
Ardis Furman, a senior at Wil
bur high school.
Attention you Aggies! Tomor
row is the day for all who are
interested to sign up for com
mittees on Ag Builders.
There are five committees:
membership, parties and conven
tions, publicity, tours, and sales.
If you are interested in any one
or more of these committees, you
may sign at a booth in the Ag
Union from 9 a.m. to noon and
from 1 to 5 p.m.
Rumors from substantial
sources say that there is going
to be a big dance put on by the
Ag Union dance committee right
after Christmas vacation. The
same rumor said that it will be
a chance to get back into the
"swing" of things after the "rest
period." Keep looking for fur
ther announcements of it, will
you?
Speaking of Ag Union dances,
there is an hour dance this af- j
ternoon in the recreation room
from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. According
to reports received from those
who were able to attend these
hour dances, they are excellent
places to meet new friends.
I can't get off this subject of
dancing possibilities around the
Ag Union. The last dancing les
sons of the season will also be
held tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. in
the College Activities building.
Dont know what happened,
but something was mentioned
last week in "Tall Corn" about
that parking lot north of Animal
Husbandry hall and it was op
ened for use within the next few
days. I'm sure there are many
car-owners grateful for the op
ening up of this lot.
Best wishes go to Clayton

Raun who will be responsible for

iDr. Reinhardt
Describes Life
Of Criminal
The person who becomes a
criminal because of an unusual
situation or through a single in
cident often receives more pun
ishment than the professional
criminal who has developed over
a long period ot time.
Such was the opinion set forth
by Dr. James H. Reinhardt, pro
fessor of sociology at the Uni
versity, as he spoke at a meeting
of the 937th volunteer air re
serve training unit at the Lin
coln chamber of commerce Mon
day night
Reinhardt stated that the nrob-
lem of re-habilitation doesn't
exist in the case of a professional
criminal. It is very hard to get a
person to change his mode of liv
ing from the way he has lived
as he grows older.
Dr. Reinhardt pointed out that
many of the sadistic abuses of
prisoners in Korea has arisen
out of the feelings of the people.
These people have long felt that
they have been oppressed by for
eign powers. The soldiers of
North Korea vent these uncon
trolled emotions on their pris
oners. In commenting on propaganda.
Dr. Reinhardt said that merely
telling the people the truth will
not make them believe it. It is
usually easier for the people to
believe lies because lies are fab
ricated to appeal to the people.

'Sound of Fury' Portrays
Savagery of Mob Violence
A new twist to an old menace
that of mass hysteria and lynch
ing is presented in the preview
showing of "The Sound of Fury"
starting Thursday at the State
theater.
T.infiin i on of four cities in
he United States in which audi
ences will be able to view the
advance showing.
The theme of the new drama
deals with mob violence, culmin
ating in a lynching scene. The
unique angle of the plot is that
the story is not filmed in a south
ern locale nor is tne lyncmn
motivated by racial bias.
Crime Against Society
"The Sound of Fury" is the
story of two men who commit a
grave crime against society that
of kidnaping and murder. The
men, each motivated by his own
needs, are guilty beyond ques
tion, but the idea presented is
that regardless of the seriousness
of the crime committed, the mob
which seeks to punish with
violence, commits a far greater
one.
Frank Lovejoy plays a man
drawn helplessly into the clutches
of crime because of his great love
for his wife, Kathleen Ryan, and

Poultry Barbequc
If you like barbecued chicken,
the University Poultry club's
barbecue Saturday is just the
thing for you.
The barbecue will begin at 7
p.m., Saturday, Nov. 18, at Beth
any park, 66th and Vine streets.
Each will be served a half

Those wanting free transpor
tation may meet at the Poultry

his son, Donald Smehck, Al
though his wife loves him dearly
he resents poverty and thv un
desirable life it forces her to live.
When Lovejoy meets Lloyd
Bridges, a psychopathic killer
who believes the world owes him
a luxurious living, he is con
vinced a life of crime would giva
his wife the things she needs.
From there the tragic plot begins
to unweave.
Violent Action
Richard Carlson plays the role
of a zealous newspaper columnist
whose brutal reporting of th
crime incites tne tocai citizens to
violent action.
Once the fervcr anel anger of
the mob is aroused, the reporter
can do nothing to quiet it. Then
he realizes that "violence is a
disease" which cannot be cured
by individuals or nations when
emotion gets the best of reason.
The facts in the story are true
and it represents an actual in
cident in California. The reporter
is patterned after Westbrook
Pegler who won the Pulitzer
Prize for his stirring article on
mob violence following the
lynching.
The movie serves a two-fold
purpose: sociologically, it shows
that an emotional violent mob
cannot take the law into its own
hands to satisfy its lust for
justice.
In another sense, it shows the
power of the press to control
public opinion and presents a
challenge to the journalism pro
fession. A challenge which must
be met if lynchings are to be
come extinct
