It took a foreign student's speech to make for a least having the chance to speak our minds,

resolutions give the public a new taste on which

As the Chancellor said in all sincerity he
looks at the student body seeing; capable and
conscientious students. We had a riot. .Yes,
and we recognize a mistake. Now it is time to
channel our thoughts to some of the favorable
actions we, as students carry on. J.K.
It. was ft wise speech which Chancellor R. G.
Gustavson presented to the students. He didn't
scold them as many had expected. He merely
emphasized how the riots had been interpreted in

t ignore public sentiment at such a pitch, especial
ly when that very public supports the institution.
That public sentiment has been sparked by ex

The success of the general meeting following
the talks is doubtful. Too many students went

realize that It is difficult to handle an assembly

This sort of race is run for the students. If
the race isn't won the students complain loudly.
This race isn't exactly one with a burst of speed

This race is run with copy pencils, paper,

Opposition To The Favorites
... 6 Knowles And Dell
The Nov. 4 national election even long after mit to UN membership all nations who express the
the primaries are over is picking up quite a bit willingness to accept the responsibility of mem
of interest and competition, at least in regard to bership," and would promote "... economic
the Nebraska candidates. A committee has been development, human rights, self-government for
formed to run opopsition candidates to Sen. Hugh dependent people."
Butler, Dwight Griswold, William Ritchie and
Standley Long.
Butler and Griswold are Repulican-endorsed
candidates for Nebraska's two Senate seats. The
other two are the Democrat party candidates. And
now, two more names might face Nebraska voters
on the Nov. 4 ballots.
Rex Knowles, University student pastor, and
Dwight Dell, Beatrice farmer, are the "favorite
sons' of this three-month old committee. At
present, they are not active as candidates for
the Senatorial positions.
The only way that the names of either man
can appear on the ballot now that the primaries
are over and both major parties have endorsed
their man is for a petition carrying 1,000 signa
tures and the candidate's name to be filed with
Nebraska's Secretary of State 40 days pior to the
Nov. 4 election.
Such petitions are now being circulated
throughout the state. However, both Dell and
Knowles have stipulated that they will not be
eme active candidates for the Senate posts un
less 5,000 signatures are gathered on their res
pective petitions. Both men obviously are in- .
sistmg on quite a vote of confidence before
having their names entered on the ballot.
The committee backing these men is called the
Committee To Elect Dell and Knowles to the Sen
ate, according to Don Moore, assistant professor in
the University's department of physics. At the
beginning this week, they issued a call to Univ
ersity to help accomplish two things circulate peti
tions and raise money. With th ecall to students,
from the Committee, went a two-page platform
which the candidates, if they become such, will
support.
The platform is listed under eight points and
includes part of Senator Butler's voting record and
a tew facts about Griswold.
This new "party," composed of Republicans,
Democrats and non-party voters, is in absolute
opposition to Universal Military Training (or
conscription of any kind!, favors civil rights
legislation and statehood for Alaska and Hawaii.
The Committee behind Knowles and Dell pro
poses "to strengthen the peace-making function
of the UN." In order to do this, they propose to
put an end to the US. Russian arms race, would

to accept the United States position," would "ad-
To "foster a program of mutual foreign aid
through the United Nations" the committee sug
gests that a mutual aid program of 3 billion dol
lars through the UN would do more good than
the proposed 7 billion dollar foreign aid bill and
would save the taxpayers four billion dollars.
In order to solve the Missouri basin flood
problem, the Knowles-Bell party suggests a "bi
partisan approach." The committee considers "the
problems centering around flood control, rural
electrification, and soil conservation as important
to our future as any international problem."
The committee is in favor of "steps to eliminate
inefficiency, waste and corruption from the gov
ernment." by "a check on indiscriminate spending,
on personnel overlapping, on the disposition of
military surplus . . . along with the enactment of
much of the Hoover report on reorganization."
For a "realistic tax reduction program," is
proposed a platform based on "faith rather than
fear, on real mutual aid, on UN negotiation" to
save 20 billion dollars of money now spent for
arming the world and "for excessive armaments
here at home."
You may like Senator Butler, Griswold, Ritchie
or Long. And you may disagree with the plat
forms advocated by the Knowles-Dell supporters.
However, our state now has opposition to the an
nounced Senatorial candidates in the form of two
men who want 5,000 signatures and who have
spoken out for what they believe.
Nebraska voters including those University
students of voting age should examine this new
"party" and its platform. On Nov. 4, it very
well might have been worth the time and ef
fort. R.K,
Margin Notes
The silkworms in England are getting extra
rations of Mulberry leaves to increase silk pro
duction for Queen Elizabeth's coronation gown.
Perhaps a local parallel could be drawn in that
graduating seniors are getting one extra com
mencement ticket this year so that three people
per graduate can witness the final honors of four
years hard work.
With all the flurry of spring registration, it has
become apparent, in some instances, that the col
lege catalogs are not the last word on group re
quirements, hours needed for majors and minors
Alum Remembers
A note received in the editor's office last
week mentioned a statistical error printed recently
in The Daily Nebraskan. One University alum
noted that the linden tree on campus near the
administration building was planted by the class
of 1905 instead of the class of 1902.
He writes that the tree was planted by
Prof. Laurence Fossler, who was chairman of
the German department and sponsor of the
class of 1905. He adds a little more history to
the tree by adding it was dedicated to the Ger
man poet Schiller since 1905 was the 100th an
niversary of the poet's death. The alum writes
that the poet's poems and plays were "still go
ing strong" at the University in 1905. .
What a memory this alum has and what loy
alty to his alma mater to take time to write trie
school newspaper. Conscientious alums such as
he are appreciated. J.K.

Yesterday a p p roximately
J.oUO University students
heard their Chancellor speak
to them on their merits and
demerits as college students,
He did not speak in hast or
without deep thought or con
cern. He did a more or less
confidential conference with
his students and tried to aid
them in finding their own
solution to their problem. He
spoke as a man who knows
his students from inside the
fence and not as one who gets
a distorted picture from cress
dispatches.
The convocation could have
been a great success. The students
were there, the faculty and ad
ministration were there, and the
problem was presented. It is a
little saddening
that students
who did not
utilize the op
p o r t u n ity to
voice their
opinion took
the situation so
lightly until
time ran out
and it was al
most too late to ?
do anything. As
it stands, two

were passed. Let's all try to keep
them. We are going to look a lot
sillier and less responsible it we
break these resolutions. Rioting is
a maladjusted andor juvenile
method of expressing boredom.
Tuesday, I sat in a room peck
ing away at my typewriter and
listening to a friend dial the
number of the girl's dorm five
times. Each successive time she
dialed the number, she got a
little madder and her face got
a little redder. The first three
times she rang, the phone was
answered and nothing hap
pened. The last two times the
phone was not even answered.
Finally, in desperation, she
gathered her fury and stalked
across the street to deliver her
message in person.
This is not an isolated case. It
happens every day whether the
person behind the switchboard is

They used to say college was a

Letterip
Two Wrongs
To the Editor:
The action being taken by the
University officials in response to
the riot is, in my opinion, just
as notorious as the riot itself. It is
against many democratic princi
ples which the University should
be teaching.
In the first place, the Univer
sity is violating the rights of
the individual as entailed in the
Constitution. According to the
University, a man, if in any
way implicated, is guilty with
little chance of proving inno
cence. He is ont confronted with
the evidence against him. He
does not even know what the
charges are.
I have asked many of the men
who were called in by the Uni
versity what the charges against
them were. In not one case did
they know. In many cases, they
had substantial evidence to show
that they did not trespass, break
or enter, soil, destroy, or steal
private property during the riots.
This reminds me of the Cardinal
Mindzenty, Robert Vogler and
William Oatis type of justice that
the communists dole out. At least
they had the semblence of a hear
ing a pretense at justice.
In the second place, the only
ones who are really punished of
the "accused ones" are the ones
in activities and who hold
scholarships. This seems to be
the punishing of the diligent
and the acquiting of the lazy.
The riot is not to be condoned.
It was not according to the best
American principles. But the way
the University is punishing the
rioters, or for that matter, any
male students who might have
had his name turned in, is cer
tainly not what is expected of an
American educational institution.

Practically all of the events held

amount of time and work spent.
If Farmers Fair were a part
of an overall University func
tion such as College Days, and
if the right efforts were made
in the line of publicity and if
activities were directed to the
interests of high school students,
it would be much more of a
success.
Vcishea at Iowa State with its
over 100,000 high school students
and visitors has proved what this
sort of thing can do in the .line
of public relations.
With this kind of a setup, a
midway, dance and rodeo would
be great attractions, but open
houses would be one of its
stronger events.
However, open houses serve no
real purpose at the present.
It will take a lot of work and
planning to make a fair successful
as used to be held years ago, but
if it is directed in the right way,
Ag college could make it work.
