THE DAILY NEBRASKAN

Br DON PIEPER
Editor
As I intimated yesterday, this column will be
a personal expression of the Editor's views.
Everything from weather to presidents will be dis
cussed in an informal way. I hope that we can
approach problems through this column cooly and
rationally.
Just because this column will be written in
formally, It will not confine itself to light sub
jects. We will discuss the Student Council and
we will discuss the advisability of playing base
ball instead of studying.
There are few more powerful temptations for
college students to face than the warmth of spring
weather. There is something about newly bud
ded trees that inspires the collegian to water
fights and gives him a lust for underwear. Games
of catch on the front lawns of organized houses
also rates high on the list of spring time-wasters.
Now, your Daily Nebraskan is not going to come
out against enjoying the spring weather. We have
no intention of frowning upon baseball; we even
advocate picnics. If we say anything about spring
activities, it will probably be a warning against
a repetition of the ceremonies carried on last year.
Certainly the amount of bad publicity the Uni
versity received as a result of that light-hearted
endeavor should convince the student body that
there must be other ways to enjoy warm spring
evenings.
February seems like an awfully early month
to start hammering about the moral issues in
volved in panty raids. Actually, the reason be
hind bringing the problem up was the weather
man's prediction that reasonably high temperatures
would continue to prevail. Reports special to
The Nebraskan from Kearney announce that tul
ips have shoved their heads above the soil in
that community. Of course, only those planted
near the house have showed a great deal of am
bition In this regard, but it might indicate a trend.
Warm weather is traditional death on study
ing. After all, how can profit and loss compete
with a warming sun. Spring seems to symbolize
freedom. The flowers are freed from their un
derground prisons. The leaves emerge from the
trees. The chlorophyll is released to make the
grass green. Why, then, shouldn't the poor stu
dent be given equal freedom?
ic
Instead of freedom, the student is shackled
with heavy books and heavier eyelids. I don't
think that the scientists call it this, but nearly

everyone else use the the term: Spring Fever.
This disease presents quite determined opposition
to spring finals. Even the twelve-weeks exams
take a beating. Right now the flu is causing
trouble but just wait until the spring call to the
country begins.
Along this line, I would like to suggest that the
student body keep in mind the remedy the Junior-Senior
Class Board has concocted to help tem

think that he could find a complete answer. Just

Tentative arrangements call for the Prom to
be held in the Coliseum because that is the only
place that can hold enough people to make a
name-band-dance financially fruitful on March
20.
But the Board needs underwriters. It is ob
vious that a party of the proportions mentioned
requires a rather large financial risk. After all,
name bands will not even look twice unless they
are offered something between one and two thou
sand dollars. The Coliseum doesn't come cheap
either. Therefore, the Board, on recommendation
of the Student Council, is collecting signatures of
Juniors and Seniors as underwriters of the dance.
As has been explained before, no one will be
responsible the dance will not even be held
unless 1,400 signatures are collected. This mfcans
that if there is a loss, it will be split 1,400 ways
Furthermore, it means that 1,400 people have
agreed to the idea of having a Prom. So far, due
to the campaign during the fee-paying, the Board
has collected 1,110 signatures. This is enough to
indicate that a great many University Juniors
and Seniors feel that a Prom will help class spirit.
Moreover, they want a Prom because they like
all-University parties.

acing A Godless University
In a university, particularly a state university
such as the University of Nebraska, the question
of the place of religion continually arises both
in the classroom and in extra-curricular affairs.
A common solution to the problem is to cite
the American tradition of separation between
church and state. Because the University is state
sponsored, the argument goes, there is no room
for the church on its campus. While religion
cannot be equated to the church, most observers
find it difficult to think of religion without its
institutionalized form, the church.
For that reason, religion is usually dismissed as
irreconcilable with an objective university.
But the division is an awkward one. Students
and professors find it impossible to leave their
religion on the doorsteps of Burnett Hall. One's
religion, whatever it may be, cannot be forgot
ten at the snap of the fingers.
Instead, it provides a background against
which the student evaluates every fact and every
theory he encounters in his studies. This, at least,
appears to be necessary if one assumes that a
student's religion is basic to his character and his
life.
But a modern theory contends that the true
student must forget his own personality and his
own prejudices in the search for objective truth.
Religion, the theory says, has nothing to do with
fact
And so, students are satisfied with limiting
their education to the laboratory, to factual social
studies and to the material world around them.
As Robert Frost observed:
"Our worship, humor, conscientiousness

Before I say anything about
"The Man Behind The Gun'.' I'll
tell you what I hope to do in this
weekly "Two on the Aisle" series.
We'll try, I hope to your satis
faction, to give the answer to that
question, "Which movie should we
go to see this week-end?"
With that in mind, here we go.
I dropped down to . the Varsity
Tuesday afternoon for "The Man
Behind The Gun." Randy Scott is
type-cast in this better than aver
age shoot-em-up epic as a devil
may-care soldier in disguise, with
a tremendous devotion to duty. In
this respect "The Man Behind The
Gun" reminds you of "High Noon"
in which the hero is torn between
love and duty. Scott's devotion to
duty is without any conflict,
which may be the reason why
"The Man Behind the Gun" is
not as good a movie. Incidentally
few westerns, if any, are as good
as "High Noon." . f

Concerned with the denial of religion at the
University, a group of students has set the com
ing weekend aside in order to evaluate the modern
day university and the University of Nebraska
and to discover the place of the Christian stu
dent in its program.
Faculty members will participate in discus
sion periods and will work with all interested
University, students to determine the answers to
problems which confront the Christian in a non
religious institution.
As reference material, a booklet entitled "The
Christian Student and the University" will be used.
Its chapters, and the sessions of the weekend con
ference, are divided into four parts: "Christian

Probably the biggest and most noticeable
change in the last 20 years has been the sky
rocketing of prices.
In 1933:
Club breakfasts were served in the Temple
cafeteria for 10 cents.
History paper sold for 45 cents a ream.
Most used books were available at 25 to 50
cents.
Men's haircuts were 35 cents.
Five course dinner, including steaks or chops
were served at drug store for 35 cents.
The price of an afternoon at the movies was
15 cents; evenings, 25 cents.
Sounds like a Utopia, doesn't it?
But before you start dreaming too much about
"the gold old days, remember this was 1933, the
height of the depression. While prices have nearly
tripled in the past 20 years, incomes have risen
even more rapidly. The student who was going
to school on his pa's bankroll was a rarity then.
One plan adopted by the Board of Regents for
Ag campus provided students with all but Sun
day evening meals for $3 a week. Students were
employed to prepare the meals, and each student
eating under the plan had to help with the serv
ing. v
Students, themselves, formed "boarding clubs"
and prepared their own meals. One such club
charged 1125 a week for two meals a day. The
group always had enough funds left over to have
a party at the end of the semester.
