The Oklahoma senator, with a wide repertoire Kerr's "non-political" speech Wednesday night. On one hand there was something appealing about the Oklahoma senator who gestured so freely and who spoke with hia coat unbuttoned and with more than a tinge of accent to his smooth oratori cal delivery.

Howard Buffet came out with the prize remark of the evening, the most vicious com ment of the Taft-against-Eisenhower move ment and undoubtedly one of the most Irrational, emotion-arousing statements of this election year.

Back In The Old Rut Prior to the campus playboy's paradox of ' miles throughout the night. Oh, and of course, Heaven, Hell Week, The Daily Nebraskan praised attending classes during spare time the Interfraternlty Council and fraternity men who were promoting Help Week on the Univer sity campus. Various fraternity men, at this time, told The Daily Nebraskan that they considered Hell Week obsolete and hoped it would be abol ished within the near future. When asked the merits of these childish pranks, one new inltiatet answered, "Well, they give yon something to talk about" A Help Week will never gain a firm foothold at the University by mere publicizing of commu nity projects and, in the meantime, continuing the absurd practices of Hell Week. Fraternities promise a pledge that Hell Week will make him all the better for the experience. Some fraternities are able to turn out men, granted; but the majority only succeed in producing over-grown high school boys who spend their remaining years in college hiding beneath their cherished pins. Before the initiation procedure got underway, At this month's end several hundred Initiates ra anrontlnr fraternity nins Dins which they bad been working- for since last September, seme even longer.

This Is not to say that we are Independent We make all our decisions in the context of our society and ear culture. Our decisions, as well M the knowledge on which they are based, are deeply affected by the decisions other people have made and are making. Oar decisions are affected by our natural surroundings, the groups to which we belong, and the Institutions in which we participate.

Students are called upon to make many de- greater security and greater freedom at the "man without God is a seed upon the wind; driven this way and that and finding no place of lodgement and germination." It is not re quired that a person In accepting God's love must accept all the parasitlo elements of culture 'and social organization in religion. What is re quired is ti.at one be willing to give himself whole-heartedly without reservation to the love of God and the service of one's fellow-man. 4- During this Lenten season of renewal and re vitalization when we are searching for a vital perspective on life, let tis not run away from the great decision. Let us answer the call to accept clslons In their University life. We must decide God's love for us, and to be set free fiom love whether to major in electrical engineering or po- 0f self.

These and many other smaller ' and greater issues are constantly confronting us. But, above and beyond all these decisions, and conditioning them, la the great dec!s!ra of life. This Is the decision to accept or reject the loVe of God and all that He has done for us. We may postpone It most of us do; we may attempt to side-step the Issue; we may try to ran awar.

Political Career Although only 41 (last Wednesday), Crosby has had quite a political career. He served in the state legislature in the 1941 and 1943 ses sions. His second term was spent as speaker the youngest man in Nebraska's history to hold the posttand the only senator to be chosen for the job during his second terra. After serving two years in the navy (1944-1946) speeches, last fall he advocated increasing the size of the unicameral to 65 members and advanced several arguments in favor of returning to the partisan election of legislators. His immediate sug gestion on the latter point, however, was a "non political legislative platform" to be approved by Republican and Democratic state conventions and then to be submitted to legislative candidates for approval or rejection. He is opposed to any increase In state taxes. Crosby ran for lieutenant governor and won If needed serviee.
