An Obsolete Song
Throughout our college days we have heard
the majority of Independents' theme song: There's
Nobody Backing Me.
Thats quit an obsolete song. It is a song
which needs to lose its popularity and hit the bot
tom of the University's hit parade.
Altogether too many Independents hear this
song repeated ever and over again and accept
a defeatistio attitude before looking objectively
at the situation. It's time (or those who sit back
and say, "I can't, I can't, I can't," to get this ab
surd tune out ot their minds.
For several years energetic students have at
tempted to awaken the too many independents who
have been asleep with campus apathy. A few times
It looked as if some ambitious students had begun
to build a fire under ISA and almost succeeded.
But the fire failed to rouse the drowsy students
and went out. This time may prove to be the last.
The same students who say that there is no
place for them In campus activities because they
don't have the necessary "Greek" ties are the
same ones who have been Ignoring attempts of
ISA.
The ISA fire has been extinguished for sev
eral months, but now a new, and The Daily Ne
braskaa hopes, a successful flame is beginning to
gain more kindling thanks to the efforts of Carol
French and several other Independents living in the
Residence Halls for Women.
. Carol began to build this fire because she felt
independeriU needed someone behind them for that
extra push into campus activities and social at'
fairs. Consequently two months ago Carol and
several other independents organized the Pennies
for independents living in the dorm.
The group elected Carol president, Georgia
Hulac, vice president and Barbara Krutz, secre
tary. Purpose of Pennies, the constitution reads
is: "To give the members the advantage of social
contacts and friendships. To help members by
encouragement in parties participating In campus
activities. To create friendship among the inde
pendent women of the Women's Residence halls
and to help discover and develop talents of the
members of this organization."
But after two months only 45 have Joined the
Pennies. The remaining 127 may still sit around
the dorm and say they can't get anywhere in ae
tivities because no one is behind them. Well the
Pennies are; so is ISA, BABW and the 2550 Greeks
on campus who are tired of being blamed for the
independents apathy.
The Daily Nebraskan hopes the Pennies' fire
wil continue to blaze. We also hope the Inde
pendents who now sing "I can't," change their
theme song to "I can." S.G
Where Are The Brothers
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy
whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with
thy whole mind . . And thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself. Amen I say to you, as long
as you did it to one of these my least brethren,
you did it to me." Matthew 22, 25.
That commandment enjoins a love which ex
tends to all, knows no barriers nor national boun
daries, excludes no race, excepts not even its own
enemies," said Pope Pius XI.
This could well serve as the theme for Na
tional Brotherhood week now being observed
Conference of Christians and Jews, this special
week has ben set aside as a further attempt to
break down barriers which exist between religious
and racial groups. It has the further aim of pro
moting understanding among these same groups.
To us, as students in a University which de
prives no one of its privileges because of age,
sex, color or nationality, this goal of under
standing Is all important There is little or no
discrimination on the campus, but there does seem
to be a definite lack of friendship or understand
ing. Take any University class as an example. If

color as yours, you think nothing of chatting be
fore and after class. You often become classmates
in the true sense of the word. But if his skin is
darker or lighter than yours do you still have this
same friendly attitude? Do you know his attitude
toward the professor? Do you share common gripes
and praises for the course? If the class is dismissed
TSarTyaria' everyone leaves together for a coffee
hour, is he invited to join you?
Unfortunately, most students would answer no
to all these questions. It is true that they may not
be prejudiced, but they do not possess that feeling
of brotherhood the feeling of friendship and un
derstanding of their fellow man.
As students of the University, we have unlim
ited opportunities for understanding persons
whose nationalities or religious creeds differ
from our own. Cosmopolitan club offers these
opportunities to every student Yet how many
of us take advantage of it and participate In the
club's activities? All too few. We are not prejud
iced, but we are so wrapped up in our individual
activities that we can not take time out to be
brothers.
.
Brotherhood week is a national movement.
However, true brotherhood begins at home; right
here on the University campus. The need for
elimination of prejudice and the creation of friend'
ship and understanding is all important in a world
torn asunder by national and racial conflict
It is the worth of the individual and not what
he believes that counts.
What little difference there is between race,
creed and color, when one's individual life isn't
very important," said M. E. Jacobs in an addrss
to the Urban League. "How little difference there
is, for example, when men are fighting for their
lives on ie battlefields. Armas" the sKbt and shell,
when men's lives hang in the balance, there isn't
any thought given to the race, creed or religion of
the buddy fighting by one's side. Then true values
and worth count and are accepted at 100 per cent
face value. The inside of man counts then, not the
color of his skin or the method he uses to pray
to his God." - ... - - -
If we learn to love our fellow students as
ourselves, then National Brotherhood week will
have accomplished its purpose. S.A.
First In Bravery
. "as'V5 celebrate the birthday anniversary of
our first president, and recall his victories over
hardship and unhappy circumstances, we are re
minded there is no such word as failure in the
vocabulary of brave men. Brave men never give
up.
Imagine a man at 45 suddenly deciding to
teoecne a lawyer. Of course, If you have time on
your hands, money In your pockets and some
keen brains in your head, yon can try many
things, and yon may succeed in some of them.
Julius Jonas was an insurance man. He had 400
men working under his direction when, without
warning, he became blind. Many men under such
circumstances, would have slipped away to a con
venient "Vailing wall" to complain and curse their
fate. But Jonas had character, faith in himself and
God. His darkness was on the outside. He re-adjusted
his life and became an even greater insur
ance salesman.
Jack Joyce, whose superb work on stage and
screen is still a happy memory for millions, lost
his leg In a battle on the western front in World
War L But show business was in his blood, and
regardless of his misfortune, he returned to the
stage and to the people who loved seeing him
there.
Herbert Marshall, another star of the stage and
Gcreen, had a similar experience. He is still going
strong today.
Carl Herman Unthan was born without arms.
That is a handicap that would crush the spirit of
most persons. But Unthan learned to shave him
self, use a typewriter, play the violin and juggle
with, his toes. When hereturaed from the stage, he
became a popular theater writer.
Toscaninl is a famous Bame in the music
world, yet few people know of Ms physical han
dicap, la his early days when he played in the
orchestra, he had to memorise music for all the
instruments became he is nearsighted. One day
the director became 111 end Toscaninl conducted
the orchestra. The ovation was thunderous; Tos
caninl toon became the director.
Homer, Milton and Helen Keller were blind.
Miss Keller is also deaf. Henry Ford, Thomas A.
Edison and Andrew Carnegie were born in poverty
and had little formal education. These people
learned early in life the power of faith, courage,
Imagination and hard work and the thrilling ex
perience of self -education.
Tha Latin poet Horace said a timely word to
people of his day: "Live undaunted and oppose
gallant breasts against the strokes of adversity."
WEKan Penn counseled the young men in the
darkest days of oar baltory: "No pain, no palm;
Turn thorn to throne; no galL no glory; no cross,
no crown." Opportunity says:
Wall not for precious chances passed away!
XTeep not for golden ages on the wane!

Ahem.
For Drobf of the old adaee
that "God will out," compare
the size and rroerress of work
on the state historical society
buildine and the new Luther
an church on the corner of
14th and Q streets. Work on
the church, begun after con
struction on the other build-
insr was started, has now pro
gressed to two lofty stories
above the ground.
Believe it or not, the last time
somebody tried to build a state
historical building, they never
got any farther than building a
basement That was five years
ago.
Perhaps this is a remedy for the
critical campus parking situation.
If your finances are getting
low, and the lowly dime looks
lowlier and thinner than ever, re
member there are two things it
will still do: tighten a reel on a
fishing rod and open the fluid
compartment on a cigaret lighter.
Was pleasantly surprised and
overjoyed yesterday when I sat
down to the usually routine noon
meal. With dinosaur bones out
from under controls, we were
having our favorite soup again.
Drove by a certain off -campus
frat house (not to mention
any names) the other day, and
signs of "hell week" were in
bleak evidence. A ladder,
gently swaying in the breese
and chained to a second story
window, allowed the pledges to
enter.
After reading the dribble con
tinually splattered across a few
inches of newsprint by one bizad
student, who heartly informs en
tertains and regurgitates the stt)
dent body, I have decided to fol
low the golden rule that silence
is golden. Consequently I'm
shutting up and getting rich, while
might suggest as a remedy for
Mr. What-Am-I-Doing-Here. (Be
sides that, I've misplaced my
glasses.)

Stepping On Toes?
This week's Student Council meeting included
discussion about The Daily .Nebraskan's policy to
ward student representation on faculty committees.
Apparently, criticism of apathy on the part of a
few student delegates hit home. j
Some Council members condemned The Ne- j
braskan for revealing just how little work a few '
student representatives had done. Others felt
The Nebraskan should "never criticize a project
it supported."
And yet, The Nebraskan stands firmly behind
students on faculty committees. As one person in
Council said, The Nebraskan was campaigning for
it 20 years ago. We certainly continue our sup
port However, we are afraid the worthwhile step
wil be lost unless the students wh6 are appointed
to committees actually perform their duties con
scientiously. Very constructively, The Nebraskan urges stu
dent representatives to realize that success of the
program depends on their work.
When some members admithey do not know
how often their committee mts, whether they
have a vote, or what is the function or who is
the chairman, certainly they are not upholding
the faith placed in them.
Those students who have taken a conscientious
interest, The Nebraskan salutes.
The others the facts speak for themselves and
The Nebraskan stands pat Students working with
faculty members is a fine project
Let's not forget that even a good thing can be
come stale unless interest is continual. J.K.
comedy sequence to another.
The comedy team has to be
seen to be appreciated at all.
A few years back, Martin and
Lewis had an ill-fated radio
show which featured too many
old jokes. Although the studio
audiences howled at the com
edy team's antics, the radio au
dience was bored during the
same sessions. The reason is ap
parent; it is lewis' living com
edy that puts his gags across.
His characterizations mock the
human race with bis lolling
eyes, idiotic expressions and
cavernous month.
Like Charlie Chaplin, his
pathetic nature makes him one of
the best clowns of today.
The plot evolving about the
movie s comedy sequences 11
simple: Martin and Lewis join the
navy. Lewis needs an ocean voy
age for his health, and could only
afford one by joining the navy,
and Martin, the lover, while pre
viously rejected by the navy,
keeps on trying to join because
it is so much fun saying goodbye
to his numerous girl friends.
Through a mistake, both are in
ducted and undergo training.
During a brief leave, Lewis
terpreted- by -Lewis's- companions,
and they Judge him to be a man
of hidden talents; a man uresis-
tible to aU women. They bet on
his talents as a lover, and he un
dergoes many adventures because
of this bet (Typical example
becoming a boxer and fighting a
man many times larger than him
self.) . .
Lewis seems to thrive espe
cially well in these adventures,
and almost seems to be In his
paradise. In these adventures,
he runs the fall sweep of emo
tionsfrom darkest misery
(when he learns he is allergic
to women) to highest elation
(when he becomes a one man
orchestra for his singing part
ner. Dean Martin).
Lewie plays many parts that
of a Chinese coolie, -a punch-
drunk boxer, an anemic boy and iff
manages to climax the whole ji
works by impersonating a native !
Hawaiian, and gracelessly cavorts II
to the music of the Hawaiian1!
drums.
All in all, the movie proves why j g
the team of Martin and Lewis are
rated the No. 2 box-office attrac
tion by American movie fans in
1851.
