Sink Or Swim Together?
Why
Am I
Here?
.Bob Rekhenbach
An interesting note on the
national scene concerns Con
press and the Justice Depart
ment (Attorney General J.
Howard McGrath in uarticu-
lar) . Following upon the heels
ot the income-tax scandals
comes a new wave of investi
gations. They are even inves
tigating the investigators
now. We are waiting for an
investigation of the Student
Council and J. Howard Mc
Cobel. But Congress is not occupied
soieiy with matters of suca world'
shaking significance. The string'
tie set can show a spark of ro
mance.
'Why Not An F-Week For NU?'
Cries Former 'Shucks' Editor
"Wonder where the others are celebrating tonight?"
The. old saying about either sinking together or memory book. Favors, to be paid individually, also
swimming together had taken on quite a meaning had been ordered,
at the University. This seems to be the recent atti
tude of the administration. It is quite different
from former cases when the administration stressed
that action by a few individuals should not con
demn the entire University.
Although anyone may change his mind, the ad
ministration seems to be overworking this activity.
The most prominent example of the sink or
swim together theory occurred following Christ
mas vacation when two fraternities were deprived
of social privileges because of action by a few.
The majority were not even near campus. This
is not the first time an entire group has been
penalized because of a few individuals' actions.
The strange part of the situation is that it
departs from former Ideas connected with the
same principle. For example, two years ago,
when several University students were involved
la a law dispute, the University took great pains
to stress that jh action was not typical of stu
dent conduct as, a whole, but rather Just a few
Individuals.
Unless the illegal functions or action is taken
by an organi2ed house as a whole, it seems entirely
inconsistent to place the entire house on probation
r take away social privileges.
The social ban for this semester on two cam
pus fraternities resulted in about $400 loss for
one because plans and arrangements for an an
nual social event already had been made. The
house must make up the loss in some way above
regular operating costs. Total loss included full
price of the band booked for the evening, partial
payment on the ballroom reservation and- pro
grams and invitations.
As one member put it, "at least we got a pro
gram and invitation." Perhaps it can be put in a
The other house was fortunate. It turned over
reservations and the band to the Interfraternity
Council for the annual ball Friday. The only
monetary loss members of this house incurred was
cost of individual favors.
Obviously, when University rules are broken,
offenders should be punished. That Is true any
where in sc!i.ol or out. However, in keeping
with American standards, punishment should be
directed toward individuals, not groups which
they were not even officially representing. When
one faculty member is turned in for violating
rules, University or otherwise such as drunken
driving, the University would not place the en
tire faculty on probation or take away certain
privileges.
It seems we are regressing rather than pro
gressing if this is the attitude to be used. Natur
ally, action taken by one member of an organiza
tion so tightly knit as a Greek group will reflect
on the entire group. But that is as far as it should
go. Punishment should not be directed at all unless
the action was collectively or officially taken by
members.
No doubt it is hard to determine what is offi
cial, but certainly the administration is capable
of making this distinction.
Recently Congress passed a
bill returning a $500 surety bond
to a Mansfield, Ohio, man.
Allen Spangler had forfeited
the bond when he and Austra
lian Patricia Gaynor were not
married within the 90 days re
quired by law after she arrived
in this country. Spangler ex
plained that the delay was nec
essary for the two to get re
uainted in new surroundings.
After President Truman signs
the bill, $500 will be returned to
Spangler. Ain't that sweet?

no apparent restrictive clause, one
must assume tnat this offer is not
good to college students.
All this business in Ecvct and
iran iaieiy Dnngs to mina a
thought which makes most of us
stop and wonder. From the out
side it looks like a siimle case
of nationalism versus imperial
ism somewhat similar to a series
of incidents which occurred in
1796 and 1849. Only this time
tne participants in the earlier
struggles are aligned somewhat
diflerently.

Having been asked by the editor of this publi

opinions which could be termed thought-provoking
or controversial. However, I do have a few ques

Why are the temporary bu!!2ings called tem

go?
Why is it that after reading Fearless Fosdick,
I can't stand Dick Tracy?
What ever happened to the
McCarthy investigation?
When fraternities are put on
probation, why do their mem

Why not a rival campus newspaper?

u tne university must punish and it should
let it punish individuals when the action is caused
by individuals. Action on the group as a whole
will be taken by its national organization. There
is no need for the University to take such steps
if they should be.

may be hard to make, but it would be fairer than

qualifications, whatever these are, to reign over
the Greeks as sweetheart of the fraternities.
However, these young ladies have gained more
of a distinction than their predecessor queen
candidates. Most female beauty honors on this
campus are bestowed on the basis of ticket
votes, poise, charm, ratings during interviews or
through their participation in certain academic
r extra-curricular fields. Not so with the latest
Sweetheart finalists!
The Inter-Fraternity council last year came

Margin Notes
Although the Student Council undoubtedly is
finding enough to keep busy, one worthwhile pro
ject it might undertake is investigating possibilities
for mid-year commencement exercises. As several
mid-year graduates this year admitted, it would be
: to have some sort of program to recognize
four years ot work toward a degree.
The Nebraskan has reason to believe that an
appeal from students for mid semester com
mencement exercises would not go unnoticed by
the Chancellor. This Is important
There is no need to .import a speaker. A short
talk by Chancellor Gustavson or another prominent
University official would at least give some recog
nition to mid year graduates. It is a possibility
worth consideration.
It has been brought to the attention of The
Nebraskan several times recently that playing
eiess in the Union lobby is not permitted. Check
ing with (he Union board, The Nebraskan dis
covered the decision did not come from the
1 iUfsrd, the tisual channel. Wherever the decision
was made, it seems that explanation is due.

Daily Thought
friend and a shadow attend only
T?i the Em shines. Franklin.
The social committee of the IFC, according to
Council President Harold "Hod" Myers, consists
of Herb Nordeen, Steve Carveth, Cy Johnson
and Bob Reichenbach. What a jolly time these
young men must have had, chatting over the list
of 14 candidates, basing their final decision of
six onagain in ts words of President Myers
"what they thought a sweetheart should bo."
This method of judging the woman who is to
receive the honor of Sweetheart of 23 University
fraternities deemed so worthwhile that the
Wednesday night judging for the "final finalist'
was based on "what they thought a sweetheart
should be." However, in this case, not solely the
social committee, but the entire membership of
23 college men, will decide "what a sweetheart
should be," not collectively, but individually by
ballot.
The Daily Nebraskan is not in disagreement
with the six young ladies who vied for the Inter
Fraternity Sweetheart honor Wednesday evening.
We are not in disagreement with the veritable
existence of the IFC. But we would like to ques
tion, with thought, th basis of selection of the
Sweetheart finalists and the kind of leadership
of an organization which permits this fallacy.

Here we are, the living ex
ample of democracy and the
champion of free peoples every
where, that is, except where
the interests of those who would
be free conflict with ours. Over
simplified, the Question boils
down to this: can we doggedly
maintain that people all ever
the world have the right to con
trol their own countries and
their own resources even when
such a stand would inevitably
weaken our position in the
"family" of nations to such an
extent that we would lose our
strongest allies?
By our stand in Iran and Indo
nesia we have indicated that such
a position, no matter how noble
is untenaoie. we seem on the
verge - of interfering in Errot.
which once again mocks our riiK
trine of the inalienable right of
people to govern themselves. But
umes cnange and things become
old-fashioned and nhsniot p.
haps this doctrine has fallen vic
tim to the changing complexion
oi miernaxionai affairs.
From all appearances our
theory will be re-stated, in
audibly, in somewhat this man
ner; the United States favors
the right of people to govern
themselves, but only when such
a policy is expedient Whether
such a re-statement Is neces
sary Is another question.
