business? Why not support what la going on now? hope that some day, they may be Mortar Boards
and Innocents. He sees them, getting all excited
about silly little things that don't really matter.
But then, it is all i part of growing up. ,
An editor sees slllyAittle people think that
they have to win an eleetfea Jnst for the glory
of winning. He sees them pull dirty little tricks
and knife their buddies to get ahead. He sits
back and wonders what makes people think that
a title means honor. He wonders why a person
would sell his soul for some tinky little office.
But that Is what makes a newspaper interesting.
An editor wonders sometimes why peoplet be
An editor wonders sometimes why people be

But he realties that people differ widely in view
point, and that sometimes en editor becomes ex
cited and angered at his opposition. But as long
as people have the right to sound off against
whomever they please, their safety and freedom
are in no danger.
But along with black eyes, this editor had also
received compliments. Any small success this paper
may have had la due to the staff members and
the reporters who work for the paper. A paper
is no better or no worse than all of the people
who work for it
Being an editor is an experience that could
never be traded' for any other. It is a tremendous
amount of fun and a tremendous amount of work.

Why propose changes? Why should you care whe

These are some ef the things that people ask
aa editor, or a newspaperman.
' Newspaper people have certain general char
acteristics those who are really serious. Most of

of them become cynical In the course of life and
ignore people, or in fact, sneer at them. Most of
them mean well. Some of them are wrong, dead
wrong. But they mean well. Most people don't go
into journalism because of the money, No, be
cause as a general rule newspapermen don't get
rich. They work because they like to write.
Do they write and work on newspapers be
cause they like excitement? No, because most
newspaper are disgustingly routine births,
deaths, accidents, elections. Only occasionally is
there a really spectacular event fire, flood, mur

dash into the news room shouting "Stop the

Newspaper work enables a person to meet

Tales Of Hoffmann' . . .
For many persons. "Tales of
Hoffmann" at the Esquire will be
a new experience in moving pic
tures.
Opera-goers often may have
wished that the opera stars had
the grace and training of ballet
to doubly equip them for their
roles. Ballet lovers may have
wished that the trained opera
voices came with the graceful
ballerinas.
In this moving picture ballet
opera the two are combined.
Michael Powell and Emerie Press
burger, who wrote, produced and
directed the Jacques Offenback
opera-ballet for pictures have
supplied opera voices with lithe
bodies and have turned the
dancers into gifted singers.
The story is of Hoffmann, a
student, played by Robert Roun
setrlle. and his love for a prima
ballerina, Moira Shearer, who
portrays Stella.

The panel will be composed of

UMT-Costly, Warlike
would certain!
To the Student Body,
Contrary to popular belief, the
United States does not have Uni
versal Military Training, but re
commendations for UMT are now
being presented to Congress for
legislation.
UMT will, if passed, require
every 18 year old youth to have
six months of military training
AND seven and one-half years in
the reserves, subject to call by
Congress.
UMT is a permanent system
to last through war and peace.
This program would not be
cheap. The cost of the first year
of operation would almost equal
the amount spent on all primary
and secondary education for all
youth between five and 17,
numbering 3d times the total
UMT trainees. The recurring
yearly cost would more than
pay for a college education for
all students now enrolled in col
lege, an enrollment three times
that of UMT, Actual costs:
First year of operation for

The pressure for action now is
due to the belief that UMT would
not be passed in less troubled
times. UMT is certainly not a
peace-program but a program in
ducing war. Sparta had UMT and
went down in corruption. Some
European countries had UMT but
still were overrun in World war
II. If military training was a
measure for peace then Europe
would be the most peaceful spot
on earth, rather than a seedbed
of world wars.

Pep Talk . . .
To the Editor:
We were very glad to see that
our letter in The Daily Nebraskan
caught the attention of MR. DON
DEVRIES.
First we would like to
straighten out mistaken infer
ences which were drawn from
our letter. In no way was our
criticism intended to be de
structive. We are merely inter
ested in seeing a greater amount
of school spirit at home basket
ball games. Also, we will agree
that it is the duty of the entire
student body to be a part of this
school spirit In a group this
large, however, there must be
a nucleus from which this spirit
must emanate. We were of the
opinion that this was the pur
pose of the organized cheering
section.
Second, we did not say or even
suggest that any new yells or
songs were needed. The only sug
gestion that we made was that
those which we now have be used
more often.
Third, we were also well aware
of the fact that the Cobs and Tas
sels are required to pay for their
seats the same as we are. It would
be most appropriate if they would
display at the home games some
of the hard work wmch they are
continually exerting.
Fourtn, we will agree tnat
there may not be as many op
portunities to cheer at basket
ball games as there are at foot
ball games. Is this any reason
for passing up what opportuni
ties there are? There are always
timeouts during the game, and
a period at the end of each the
first and third quarters when
there is ample time for an or
ganized cheer.
Come Monday night NU will
be playing the top ranked team
in the nation and will need all
the support that we can give them
Let us see that they get it!!
Sincerely,
DON OSTENDORK

which it preaches so widely. In
my opinion, UMT goes against
all established ethical principals
of the U.S.
The advocates of UMT claim
that besides physical training, this
plan will build strong moral char

been in the service how much
it built up his moral character.

will soon vote on UMT. Write
to them! Explain your feelings!

CONFERENCE IN THE CLOUDS
Among the undergraduates on any college campus, pull find
the talk reaching up to the clouds. And once in a while -in a class
room, around a study table, or even in a bull session a really Ug
idea is born.
Big ideas come, too, from the men and women in laboratories,
business offices, shops. But often these professionals are exploring
a path first glimpsed in college.
How do we know? Because of the many college people who
have come into the Bell System, where big ideas and lot of dreams
have taken their place in progress. The human voice, carried along
a wire, first across a town, then a state, a nation, and now the world.
Music and pictures and things happening delivered into cities and
hamlets all across the land by radio and television networks.
We're always looking for the men and women who get big
ideas-whether they're about people, or machines, or ways of doing
things. Its the only way the Bell System can keep on giving thk
country the best telephone service in the world.
