PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Wednesday! November 15, 195ft o mramraeimtl:! 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! B'F REX MESSERSMITH The first thing that comes to my mind is the poll being taken m we Ag union today at noon. The main purpose is to find out whether or ot the Ag students r i f not use it - V a televis- set rather I j f ft Wmmwm wm LA 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. Dick Miller 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 ple an needed by this committee 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." as a whole want televis ion in the Un ion. Here is how 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. I ; 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 Yeutter, Bob Kadin and Bob Raun who will be responsible for the success of the 1951 Jr. Ak- 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 Gianced to Nov. 28 A meeting of Sigma Xi, previ ously scheduled for Oct 21, will be held Tuesday, Nov. 28, at 7:30 p.m., in Morrill hall auditorium. The ROTC University march ing band will salute Faculty Day with appropriate music and for mations Saturday during the half-time of the Nebraska-Iowa State game. The various University schools and their respective deans will I Stadium. 12:45 n.m. be symbolized after the band : spells out "I.S." in honor of the Siffnia Xi Meeting Ag college will be represented by a pitchfork. A dollar sign will portray the College of Busi ness Administration. The Arts and Science college will be sym bolized by the torch of knowl edge. The band will also complete formation of the symbols for Engineering college by a "T" square and a triangle and for Law college by scales of justice. The Teachers college will be portrayed by a mortar board cap and the Graduate school by a lamb of learning. I he professional schools will be symbolized by the prescrip tion sign. Before the school or college symbol is formed the dean of the college will be recognized and the band will play appro- ) priate music. j West West West Ag Club Plans 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 chicken. Those wanting free transpor tation may meet at the Poultry Husbandry building at 6:45 p.m. Others may go directly to the park. Club members from last year will be admitted free. Admission for others will be 75 cents. 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 Bemiititd, Appropriate Thmmktgiring Grttiitg Cmti.
