THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, February 29, 1952 EDITORIAL PAGE It's About Time There was a time In Puritan tradition in Eng- "lenten," meaning spring. Among other things that land when everything in the church year but the has a very practical meaning, Lord's day was rejected. So strong was the feel- -fa ing that crowds marched and picketed churches Maude Royden said, "I feel a periodic need to with "no Christmas" or "no Easter" banners. It is tidy up my soui There is no need to labor the a long way from that attitude to the present wide- pont. Everyone has about him many things that spread . observance of Lent among tne churcnes or ciutter up his life the things that pile up in us. our faith and order. It may not be a big sin that we stumble over There must be a food reason: It cannot oe said that we do it out of lone tradllton. We have imply found that today it has real meanings for us. Probably we come to the use of Lent the way the minister comes to use a prayer from the "book of Common Prayer," not because it is pre scribed but because it is beautiful. Lent is both a Christian cue and a clue. The cue may be taken from the church calendar, but the "clues are taken from the gospel and the needs of our lives. I suspect we are less likely to miss Hhe Lenten cue if we make use of its clues. It can be summed up in a phrase. Lent is the church's way of saying, "It is about time." St. Paul once spelled, it out to the Corinthians, "Now is' the accepted time" and he expected them to take his cue because he had already shared the clues to their salvation. So the church says, "It's about time," and it Is a cue to be ready for Lent. It means much more than being ready with plans and programs. They are necessary as the tuning of the instrument be- every time we walk. It may be a lot of little things left about like old -fears, or undiscarded resent ments, or some relationship of love once bright and now grown dull. It all adds up, however, to an uncomfortable and unlovely disorder. If so, Lent says something about it. Lent means doing something worthwihle like that for ourselves. It is also our cue to do some thing for others. Lenten devotion is both "intake" and "outgo." There is a higher meaning still which in cludes them all. Lent suggests the framework of eternity as the only setting that will keep life from being flattened out or from closing in. For temporal life not allowed to open into eternal life becomes corrupt and feeble in its temporally. Ours is such an age. Consulting its temporary desires, bedraggled by passing events, it limits its perspective only to man and what he can do. Aldous Huxley put it well: "The only hope for the world of time lies in being constantly drenched fore the symphony, but no musician confuses this by that which lies beyond time. Time must have a getting ready with his preparation. "Playing great stop, and it is only by deliberately paying our at- music is more than coming in on the right cue. ' Lent is our cue to discover for ourselves the Christian faith and to acquire the Christian ex perience that fits us to play in this symphony called life. The mind is an instrument that needs ' tuning. Lent says with emphasis, "It's about time . to do some Christian tuning." The word Lent comes from the Anglo-Saxon The Vacuum? The news and views of this century have an undisputed impact upon the lives and learnings of "college students today. The trends apparent in our world, the politics of our nation and the activities vided for; it produces as well as possible and is .of our state have a. profound effect on the sum "happy." From the Greek thinkers, Wein quoted and total of our education.

The divine ground is a timeless reality. Seek it first and all these other things will be added." So Lent comes with all the persuasive ways of the gospel to the deep needs of our lives saying, "It's about time!" No, "It's about eternity." K.Ry. Could We Fill people to want what those in power desire. Professor Wein parallelled this situation to that of a contented cow. The cow's needs are pro- Barbed Wire The American people including American college sutdents have escaped from one factor . that could greatly change the course and pattern of their lives. They have lived free of one influ- ence that has hovered over the lives of most of the world's people. They have lived in a land free of the wages of war. They have lived under . a government free of Communistic or totalitarian practices and fundamentals. And, greatest of all, - they live in a land united in cause and govern ment, not divided by the greatest ideological split of all times. Prof. Herman Wein, German philosopher who visited the University recently, said that the divi sion of Germany is not just a geographical dis tinction on a map. He called it a scar on the great land mass of Europe. And Professor Wein named one of the forces behind this geographical scar versity could make sure that their relations with dialectical materialism. the rest of the world are SDOtiess.

And Uni- you your living. Advocates or. the philosophy of versity students could communicate more often materialism say to the people, the people divided with students of Germany and take a greater in- and confused by the political struggle in Europe, terest in the problems of a people less favored that they have freedom because they get what they than we. want. Error in this statement is in the fact that The American people and University students the government of such a situation educates the could fill this vacuum. R.R. Professor Wein warned his audience of the dangerous effect that such ideologies will have on the minds and lives of the German people. These people, from their past years of war, dic tatorship and oppression, have a spiritual and mental vacuum in their lives which needs to be filled. They need a faith and a strong philosophy to sustain their lives and efforts in the face of attack from these materialistic contentions. Wein emphasized that America has a good and fighting chance to win the cold war in Central Europe by filling this mental and spiritual vacuum. He asked that we ". . . not get drowned into this age of reports , . , not replace man . . .with cold hearted reports of each other." He pleaded, "Let us try to fight hatred with love. Hatred doesn't need us. Love does." The American people have a great opportun ity to fill this ideological vacuum in many ways. The American people could clean up their own democracy first of all. They could see to it that the San Francisco anti-Japanese incident and the Cicero, 111., riots and the North Carolina terror ism are wiped from the face of their democracy. The American people and students of the Uni- Margin Notes- Student Council parking committee has sug gested that a system of fines against parking vio lators be used instead of the rustication procedure now in operation. If the fine method were used instead of the questionable rustication procedure, Student Coun cil will have taken .an important step toward find ing a solution to the parking situation problem. by advocating that Universal Military Training be postponed for about three years. This policy ap pears to be just another Taft statement on policy, but during these times of political string-pullings, one might look a little deeper into his statement. Mr. Republican has been noted for his uncer tain and changing political views. If he continues to support the postponement of UMT, he will un- doubtedly obtain more votes. But the public should As yet, no formal action has been taken on be PrePared for h's stereotype statement, "UMT the Student Council motion to abolish segregated should be temporarily postponed, but . . ." faculty-student parking by the faculty committee. The committee will vote on the motion Tuesday. Carl W. Borgmann, dean of faculties, said the reasons for segregated faculty-student parking are: 1. A faculty member late for class keeps 50 students waiting, while a student late affects only himself. 2. Faculty members should be entitled to some consideration for seniority. 3. Staff and faculty are more permanent park ers, while students move a lot. 4. Some faculty persons have to drive from Ag to city campus and have trouble finding space dur ing off hours. These four reasons do have their points. How ever, it appears to The Daily Nebraskan the Uni versity students are being take,n advantage of in this situation. Gov. James Byrnes of South Carolina has gone on record as favoring the abolishment of that state's public school sytem rather than giv ing: up segregated schools. It is Inconceivable that this type of leadership is tolerated in a country based on democratic principles. Such thinking, expressed in the legislation of that state, Is undemocratic. Yet it is allowed to exist. Gov. Byrnes, If he succeeds in legislating his Ideas, might move other southern states to follow this action. Jul (Daily.

Barb Wylie The funniest thing to come out of Coed Follies last Tues day night happened in the SDT dressing room. Seems about five or six fellas had come into the theater early and secured - standing room only in some lockers in the basement dressing room, imagine the fellas thqught thev were on review when the whole show cast gathered around to see the ' show. Recent reports tell us of the story of a gunman who took $14,000 from a New York cafe teria while four police officers were eating there. The question could be asked where the of ficers are eating now? Noticed a large truck loaded with crushed rock in the Union parking lot Wednesday morning, Guess they have finally come to the end of a long debate as to whether they should let cars bog down to the windows until the new Union addition is built, or put in some kind of surface so pedestrians won't get their faces muddy when wadding across. Now, the fence, gentlemen. Speaking of the parking situ ation, a fella came up to me the other day and wanted to know just what was going to be done. He cited various problems and wanted to know what power the 1 Student Council had in the sit uation. He talked of riots, past and future, and unorthadox methods of clearing up the problem. If average University students are presently thinking in such terms, I thik it's about time an acceptable solution was found. The Student Council has done everything in its power (dramatically limited in this case) to right the situation. Now it is up to the faculty parking committee to do some thing about it. My only solu tion is to gravel the first floor of the "new" state historical so ciety building and throw it open for parking. A New York authority on kisses says a girl's lip prints can help vou analyze her character. Won der hat kind of college course you would enroll in to become an au thority on kisses, probably extra circular. Just to be on the safe side, though, you fellers might get a few extra copies while you're at it. It is usually a pretty simple thing for a campus Joe to get a good night kiss from his girl, but I heard a stor the other day that breaks this theory in pieces. Seems this particular Joe didn't start thinking about it until around midnight one night when it was too late. Undaunted, he hurriedly enlisted the aid of a friend and rushed over to the girl's house. With the help of said friend, he climbed the face of the brick building to a second story window where the girl was wait ing and planted the buss on her lips. As everything tnat goes up must come down, so he did with a mighty crash. That girl sure must have packed a , mighty whollop. This is living? Sound-Off Male Concern Over Follies Deserves Immediate Reward 1 Tom Rische (The views axpreiwd In this column art not necessarily those of The Dally Ne braskan.) Who says the University doesn't have any traditions? Maybe it's not such an old tra dition, but the second annual large scale gate-crashing at Coed Fol lies Tuesday night was quite a show of something school spirit, masculine spirit, whatever you want to call it. Anyway, it was spirited. Most of those in attendance, with the exception of the police and the manager of the Nebraska Theater, seemed to have a good time, from all reports. This situation could probably be remedied, if anyone is really seeking a remedy, by admission of men to Coed Follies. After all, the men can't really be blamed for wanting to see what goes on. There is always an air of mystery about the proceed ing in this annual all-coed af fair. And University men, being men, have a certain interest in things female. The young ladies in at tendance report that there is noth ing in the show that would shock the tender ears of men. Maybe if men were allowed to go to the show, they wouldn't want to at tend after the first year. But any way, they could be given an op portunity to attend. - m w w As long as the gate-crashing is simply fun, there is little harm done. But there is always the possibility that the gate crashing might get out of hand. Someone might be hurt. There is no telling what might hap pen with 200 or 300 men storm ing the barricades of the Ne braska theater. Someone could conceivably be badly hurt or some property badly damaged.

That is for the Greeks to live as gentlemen and ladies who practice courtesy and refinement constantly, since people are prone to judge an organization or group by some notorious individual or act which is in no way character istic of the whole. A few Greeks have failed to live perfectly; consequently a tide of public antipathy, aggravated by movie and magazine propaganda, has begun to force conformism on the high-idealed fraternities all over the country. Young men live together in fraternity houses prac tically without supervision on sev eral thousand campuses in this country, yet there have been fewer than ten scandals involving fraternity chapters in more than fifty years. The public Is not friendly to. the Gree system because of sen-, sational adverse publicity. If because of this misjudgment, it is necessary to take on social welfare projects in addition to the other tasks college men have, then let us do it cheerfully and with a desire to serve. But why abolish Hell week? So far, most of the motive has been the desireability of doing "some thing constructive outside their house." This can be done at an other time than that set aside for the mis-named Hell week. True, there have been incidents which have resulted in tragic bodily in jury for boys; here again the ac tivities of Hell week are judged by a few isolated cases. In the last few years, of the more than 250 boys submitting yearly to Hell week, there have been no cases of serious injury on leave Us Alone To The Editor, In regard to S.G.'s editorial on the campus apathy of independ ent women, I would like to dis agree completely. As an independent woman, I would like to work in activities very much. Last year when I was a freshman I signed up for activities at the AWS mart. I went up to the Builders office and tried to work for a few days. It was obvious that cer tain board members were push ing their friends and I finally dropped it. I also tried to work for the All University Fund. During their last election, a friend told me that one very capable girl was disaualified because a member of the executive board did not like her. Also several fellows were not given offices because they did not belone to a certain iraternity I dropped AUF not because I felt I did not have a chance to work ud because I was an independent, but because I felt the board did not judge the applicants on their merits. ' Maybe you cannot see it since you are a Greek but there is a distinct barrier between us. One, I think, which will always be there.

Does that mean football has failed in its duty to build men physically and morally? Beware the editor whose material is hearsay and gos sip. As for any fraternity man say ing, "I went through it; why shouldn't they?" I have not heard the question more than twice in a year, though I have seen it used in The Daily Ne rbaskan many times. How about asking, "I had the fun; why take it away from the new pledges?" In general. Hell week activities call on freshmen for courage and stamina. It tests their de sire of becoming members of the fraternity. In a few cases, Hell week makes a man out of a boy. At the time "boarding" was of ficially outlawed on this campus, the administration recognized the need to maintain tradition. The N-club was allowed to. retain "boarding" upon the request of soon-to-be-initiated men. The University of Nebraska has no objection to house activities concerning Hell week if they do not result in bodily harm to stu dents. The University of Ne braska has . not officially asked that Hell week be abolished, nor is it likely to.
