We Must .Be Lucky
The matter of editorial freedom among col
lege papers presumably the voice of those stu
dents attending tax or privately endowed insti
tutionshas come under quite a bit of analysis
among the collegiate editors this fall.
A poll sent out by the Associated Collegiate
' Press devotes two very pointed questions' to the
subject of editorial control for student newspa
pers. One question asks "who, In your opinion"
should control the paper's editorial policy and
the other questions how one feels about having
a faculty adviser checking all the newspaper's
copy before It Is published.
In another Instance of tb's presently-emphasized
problem, The Dally Kansas at the University
of Kansas, as the result of taking an editorial
stand for Gov. Adlai Stevenson for president, now
has Its editorial policy supervised by five Kansas
editors and two faculty members.
"Editor and Publisher," national newspaper
Xmas Giving
The All-University Party, despite what one
might think about its organization, methods and
traditional record, has accomplished something this
week which perhaps might strike the correct tone
of Christmas giving In this pre-holiday season.
They donated a relatively Iarre sum of money
to a Lincoln organization which helps needy
families. The money was donated with the
suggestion that it be used to buy food and rifts
to add to the Christmas merriment of those who
cannot afford such Items.
Aside from all private considerations of the
index, conducted a poll In October . among school
administrators on "How Much Freedom for the
Student Newspaper." Most of the answers. It got
back leaned toward "all possible freedom" but also
included insistence on "student responsibility."
It would appear that most of the answers re
ceived from college administrators took a pater
nal, patrnlslng attitude toward their respective
student editors. The main tone of their answers
seemed to be "Editorial freedom for the kids Is
alright just as long as they don't to out on a
limb on some serious subject. Then they need
the advice and surrestlon of their elders." J
This writer has found, in her contact with the
collegiate journalistic world, that the majority of
college administrations, journalism schools or
faculty committees keep quite a close check on
the news and editorial operations of their respect
ive student publications. The attitude of the adult
paper censors ranges from the "occasion checking
of copy" to the daily contact with the staff and
the news.
The Daily Nebraskan operates under the juris
diction of a student-faculty committee in regard
to finances, staff positions and several other me
chanical matters.
However, in our news judgment and In our
editorial opinion. The Nebraskan staff has been
free to operate this student newspaper as It sees
fit It is guaranteed to The Nebraskan that it
may operate "free from editorial censorship on
the part of the Board, or on the part of any
member of the faculty of the University."
This writer would like to take this occasion to
point out to Nebraskan student readers how for
tunate we are to be able to conduct this one phase

And what are Thanksgiv
ing vacations made of???
Just snow and Ice and things
not so nice ... of course not!
The days were spoiled for
many by long and arduous trips
home but, when the trips were
finished and all had settled down
to normal. most everyone was
ready to agree that Thanksgiv
ings are here to stay.
What do you think of when
you think of vacation? juois 01
things. I'll bet but, during tne
holiday season, there's something
about the atmosphere that manes
most people think of home and
family. Trying to sort the random
thoughts into some sort of pattern
might give a result something
like this. ..
T Isn't it great to have a rest
from TESTS? Just to know that,
for three or four days at least,
the pressure of assignments and
schedules will be off. Some teach
ers, of course, think any free time
from classes is a time of prepara
tion for more classes but, on the
whole, most students get at least
a brief rest.

of you, espe
cially w n e n
faction, it seems good to The Nebraskan that on of campus life in our own way. The Nebraskan
organization has started the spirit of Christmas
giving on the campus. Perhaps other groups and
individuals could follow this example of giving.
The example of sharing what we have with
those less fortunate the word Christmas be
comes so much more meaningful this way. R. R.
is fortunate to be thought capable enough of con
ducting its own business to operate entirely by
students. Our position in this matter stands out in
sharp contrast to that of other colleges. The staff
is greatly appreciate of this. We are extremely
fortunate. R. R.
This Modern Age
Really, this modern age is marvelous. We have
automatic everything.
Man has devised al sorts of mad things to ease
his life. Those who look into the future expect
the most important job man will have in a few
decades will be to figure out which buttons he
should push.
Now, The Daily Nebraskan has nothing against
buttons or marvels. We thoroughly enjoy such in
ventions as automobiles and automatic garbage
disposals. In fact, the modern inventors have
made printing a newspaper a real push button
mass production job we really enjoy this.
However, not everyone is as content with the
things science has given us. For instance, the
British are worried about television. In London
the coronation committee decided that the
crowning of Queen Elizabeth in Westminster
Abbey next year eonld not be carried on live
TV. It wasn't because they thought that the
hoary tradition would be defiled by television.
'Hot wis K because members of the commission
held controlling stock in movie companies. They
announced that the cameras might catch the
queen in an Informal moment, patting her hair -r
moppinr her brow. Naturally, this was rea
son enough for the ban.
This seems to prove, if nothing else, that we
;an get too modern at least for the coronation
commission.
But the commission Isn't the only critic of this
electronic child. Frank Walsh of Long Island has
had TV troubles, too. One night Frank just
couldn't take any more of the noisy show his wife,
mother-in-law and children were watching so he
pulled out his .33 and shot the set deed.
Of course there was noise before television but
majpe not so much in the living room. The Dally
Nebraskan has a great respect for TV and all the
other electronic miracles but we feel that these two
instances do point to certain deficencies which
even miracles must put up with.

It is highly interesting to stop and think of
what man has now that he didn't have just a
few years before the average college student was
born. In our lifetime airplanes have not only
come into practical use, but are considered an
absolute necessity in international murder war.
We have radar, our predecessors had to rely on
fog horns. In the very late 1920's and very
early 1930's automobiles weren't really estab
lished as substitutes for feet. Our time has seen
radio come (ani iome say go). We have wit
nessed the comlng-of-age of the telephone.
Many of the really important developments in
the electricity field have been made during the
last twenty years.
But changes have not come in material areas coming to a close no matter how

many, precipitated a gigantic world war and
created the conditions leading to the United Na
tions. In Russia, a growing Communist govern
ment has become a real threat to the peace the UN
is trying to find.
All in all, the modern world is extremely
confusing because modern history is moving at
unprecedented speed trying to keep up with the
scientists. And there Just doesn't seem to be

Margin Notes
'Incredible' The Man Says . . .
The appointment of Martin Dnrkin, a Demo
crat, as Secretary of Labor by President-Elect
Eisenhower has been termed "incredible" by
Sen. Robert A. Taft.
Taft reasons that it is an "affront to mil
lions of union members and officers who had
the courage to defy the edict of officials like
Mr. Durkin that they vote for Stevenson. This
appointment leaves without representation in the
cabinet those millions of Democrats, North and
South, who left the party to support the Gen
eral, and gives representation to their most bit
ter opponents."
Whether or not Taft Is correct in his opin
ion, one cannot say at this early point How
ever it It obvious that the Taft-Ike harmony is
a thing of the past and there is a great possi
bility of another split in the GOP.
Who's Next't
Sen. Pat McCarran Is at present touring South
America and, in bis own words, is investigating
government spending in our neighboring countries
to the south. Mr. McCarran announced, upon
his departure, "Hundreds of milions of dollars
re being expended on various programs. I want
to determine whether we are getting a fair amount
of value for the dollars we are spending."
Mr. McCarran seems to have set himself up
as a one-nun commission to investigate nearly
everything and to pass final judgement on the
worthiness of organizations, projects and Indi
viduals. W& Agree!
Doag Mills, athletie director of Illinois, in
speaking to members of the University Quarter
back Club Monday night, hit the de-emphasis
Bail en the bead when he said athletics Isnt the
exact subject that needs de-emphasizing but
one of the aspects of the big collegiate business.
Mills told the Quarterbackers, members of the
University football team and Coach Bill Glassford
that cubsidatlon of athletes is what needs de-emphasizing.
He said "We recruit outstanding mu
sicians and students, but athletes are both re
cruited and subsidized."
Such a refreshing: outlook ea the ever-debated
and ever-discussed problem ef athletic U
heartily commended by The Nebraskan. We
agree with Mr. Mills interpretation.
Fa'tih In Humanity
At first it appeared that the Student Council
was making it tough for student drivers. But a
second look indicated that the Council simply
suspected the drivers of taking advantage of every
relaxation of parking regulations.
The matter under consideration was the num
ber ef parking violation ticket to be allowed
before fines would be Imposed. The Council
finally voted support for two "grace" tickets a
yea; and rejected a proposal ef two a semester.
Several members declared that drivers eonld
start obeying regulations just as easily after two
tickets as after four.
This breaking the law appears to be merely a
matter of will, doesn't it?

Students buy their football
tickets for $5. Faculty members

This is a big difference in price.

Doesn't it follow, that since It
is our University, we should buy
our tickets for $5 or $6 Instead
of $17.50.
