Nebraskans should realize, however, that to
maintain a progressive path in educational circles
the University must be supported not only finan
cially, but morally.
The success and prominence of a school is not
measured solely on fame achieved by alumni. That
should be remembered. But it is to our credit that
a commendable percentage of Cornhusker alumni
have achieved enough prominence to be recognized
nationally.

The students were interested In determining
exactly how much influance religion exerts in
daily college lives. They wanted to estimate how

and activities of student religious houses pene

the Influence of home life In contrast to resi

They were Interested in calculating pros, eons
or Indifferent attitudes of administrative offi
cials and faculty members toward religion in the
college student's life.
No bard and fast conclusions were reached.
No earth-shaking revelations came out of the dis
cussion. No tempers were lost and no opinions
were rejected. Nearly every person took part in
the discussion. Opinions were free of worthless
personal anecdotes and with respect for views of
the others.
Subject which garnered most of the students'
concern was the seeming apathy of University
student toward religious activities or religious
direction in their lives. It was pointed out that
the parental incentive toward the church is greatly
lessened in the lives of campus residents. It was
felt by the group that college life offers such a
variety and multitude of activities, such as Greek
life, dating, athletics ana studying that religious Hillside Community church. The students in et-
actlvities get shoved into the background of a full tendance at the discussion expressed to the Negro
schedule. It was strongly emphasized that a defi- minister that small indifferences are the mainstay

The students insisted that a more-than-routine,
lethargic attitude be taken toward re
ligious activities. They decided University stu
dents need and want more than a perfunctory
religious direction in their lives.
The majority of University students may not
agree with the contentions offered at this dis
cussion. Many University students may feel that
no religious direction is needed. Many may think
discussions of this type are too abstract to be
worthwhile.
Whatever the ease, some University students,
at the requestoof a student pastor, put in a full
two hours on the question of religion in college
life. Perhaps others might do likewise. Whether
the discussion accomplished any material gains,
it was a sincere attempt to analyze a subject
that should be of concern to University students
during tiieir coffee hours, between their classes
and in the endless leisure hour discussions. R.R.
Student Jury
The question of whether University students
are racially prejudiced came under sharp consid
eration Sunday night at a discussion cn the campus
led by the Rev. Charles Tyler, pastor of Omaha's

On the affirmative side of the picture, the
participants felt the greater per cent of Univer

The material effects of a University chapel,

participating in the discussion of "Colorblinded

selves and classmates. They appreciated the
Chancellor's point of view but brought in a ver

another race.
Students. felt their reticence to associate with

cussions fell under the conversational direction of
the group.
Out of the generalities came several strong
'opinions expressed by this cross-section of stu

It was strongly contended that a definite, or

University campus. It was felt that interdenomi

The problem of inter-marriage and inter
racial dating was of concern to the students. But
a greater problem in their minds was the un
willingness of University members to associate
with Negroes over the coffee cups, in discussions
and sidelights of classroom life. The students
were honestly interested in overcoming racial
prejudices and, in shame, admitted their deep

Tonieht ia Coed Follies
Again this year the Nebraska
theater probably will be sub
iected to the onslaught of
banned males. All of which
provides us with new fuel for
the old, old debate on the
question of males attending
mis aignmea ouriey-que.
Let's break the discussion
down into several salient
points.
First, is this "show of shows"
worth all the effort and confu
sion by the men? From the re
ports this reporter hears, vari
ous people, girls mostly, say it
is not, They say there are more
ahady sayings, "Questionable"
jokes and improper Innuendoes
in the Kosmet Klub Fall Revue
(free plug) to which the audi
ence is cordially invited. There
is no segregation in the audi
ence at this spectacle. If you
have the price of admission,
you're in. But the Coed Follies
. . . even if you pay, you can't
ret in , . . legaUy, that is.
Secondly, what is the basis for
this obviously unfair discrimina
tion? At a recent panel discussion
on the subject at hand some of
our most noted campus leaders,
of the female variety, said that if
men would act gentlemanly when
they came in, there might be a
possibility that they would be ad
mitted.
But, say these leaders, the ac
tions of the male half of the cam'
pus population in the past has
proven beyond a doubt that they
are uncouth, rowdy and dennitely
ungentlemanly. So it would be
unwise, not to say unsafe, to al
low these hoodlums in the theater
e
At the same panel were some
male noteworthies who claimed
that the actions of the men at
the Coed Follies were a result
of the very ban which was sup
posedly raised to prevent this
rowdyism from penetrating the
Iron Curtain thrown up around
the Nebraska theater by the AWS
Board. So it becomes a chicken
and egg proposition.
Little Man On Campus
By Bibler
"I thought I told you boys no Tin-Ups' on the walls."
Sound-Off
Did the men become rowdy
because the women refused to
admit them to their annual re
vue because they were rowdy
or were they rowdy all the time
or are they rowdy . . . either
the men or the women or both?
Well, probably.

think that neither will be strong

Elsenhower's views on many
questions are unknown. He is
probably more universally re
spected than any other candidate,
but whether he would make a
good president is highly specula

he might well be able to serve as
a moral leader for the country.
Gov. Earl Warren probably
has the most solid record as an
administrator of any of the
leading candidates. He has been
a good governor of the nation's

majorities in a state in which

As far as this reporter Is con
cerned it makes absolutely no
difference whether men are al
lowed to attend the Coed Follies
or whether they have to sneak
in. As we said before. It Just
ain't worth it. There's nothing
there like you would see in the
old Gaiety on 9th street in
Washington or the Silver Palm
in Chicago. (At least that's what
the big boys tell me you will
see at these places.)
I imagine that if men were al

These are probably the five
leading contenders for the Repub

varying shades of opinion on

possibility of being a great presi

what I wish to discuss in my let

who is raising herself to stardom

I was particularly interested in the

stunned with the information
which she conveyed to the read

believe the Student Council closed
the Coliseum issue by giving a
complete report on how and for
what purpose the building was
operated. Now out of a clear sky
this reporter blasts the Coliseum
officials for not helping Univer.

are undoubtedly for a good causa
I'm afraid her thinking is a slight
bit off the track. I fear that aha

purpose is for this structure.
Doesn't she gcalise that if
every little organization and
