If we look at university life as a series of
classes and study periods, we are, of course, over
looking the true university education. This de
scription omits the many extracurricular though
highly educational opportunities which the uni
versity student constantly has available.
From the looks of the news columns for the
last few days, one of the most obvious of these
opportunities is student-talent theater productions.
I am referring to Coed Follies, the Kosmet Klub
Like I say,' the Follies Is an excellent show,
Each participating , woman's organized house has
spent many hours practicing and all skits and cur
tain acts are nearing perfection. Excellent travel
ing acts have been chosen to fill the gaps between
curtain acts and skits. Different traveling acts
have been selected for each night.
Complications forced the Mortar Boards to
cancel their annual ' Black Masque Ball leaving
the presentation of the traditional Eligible Bache
lors undone. Arrangements have been made to
take care of this at the Follies. As usual the

Chief opponent to the blockade

sent no real danger in Western Germany. A Ger
man newspaperman, Klaus Schmidt also visiting
the campus this week, agreed with Herzfeld.
Undoubtedly students expected the men, be
cause of their nearness to the Iron Curtain, to ex
press deep concern over the threat of Communism
in Germany. From the United States the western
sector of Berlin, where Herzfeld teaches, looks
like the last outpost of the Free World and appears
in the greatest danger of being absorbed by Com
munist. Americans also seem to have trouble under
standing why the French and the Germans can
not forget their petty traditional hatred in the
Curtain. To many Americans the plan looked like
a fine opportunity to start the break-up of the
Communist empire without getting their hands
dirty

But immediately, Western Europe raised it
voice in horror at the possibility of provoking
World War III. The situation simply looks differ

Sometimes the dangers appear blacker from
the Western Hemisphere; sometimes, from Europe.
Distance, it would appear, is an unaccountable
medium through which to view world events.
The question is: "Does distance distort the true
situation or does it give perspective?" K. R.

feeling that perhaps the nation's

our over-emphasis on sports today.

Also speaking of fraternities, I
heard an idea the other day. If
say, a fraternity has more than
50 down-hours the first six weeks,
or four weeks or whatever the
number, that fraternity is put on
social probation by the adminis
tration until such excessive down
hours are removed or until the
next six-weeks period relieves
them of their punishment.
I was a little shocked by the
idea at first. When I passed it
around to my own fraternity
brothers, I went slow and felt
my way around. N

that they agree with me: That

Yesteryear At NU ...
By DICK RALSTON
Staff Writer
Many of us "moderns'' tend to think of the
student of 1933 as a chaperon-loving prude. This
Is a falsa notion. They may have been prudes,
but they didn't love chaperons.
True, students then were more serious, less
rowif;-, and in general had little reason to mind
the presence of a chaperon. But they did.
Why Is difficult to figure out During prohi
bition there could probably have been no drink
ing, chaperoned or not And assuming students
then had few of the modern partying tendencies,
why mind the presence of chaperon?
. The Daily Nebraskan editorial columns said it
was largely a result of attitudes."
"Students in general seem to consider it a chore
to b nice to chaperons. Rather than perform the
ERSfeasant duty of 'meeting the chaperons they
often prefer to allow their chaperons to sit iso
late! in some corner and never go near them dur
ing tb evening. Or if they do feel obligated to
introduce themselves to the chaperons, the cere
mony is performed la prefunctionary fashion,
which consists usually of a fishy handshake, an
awkward pause, and an attempt to terminate the
brief interview as speedily as possible."
Evidently some attitudes don't change too
much in 20 years.
The editorial writer making these penetrating
observations offered three possible remedies:
1. Compiling a list of faculty members who
enjoy chaperoning parties and using these people
as much as possible.
2. Asking chaperons to invite a few friends so
they wouldn't be alone and friendless all evening.
3. Exercising more care , in the selection of
chaperons and trying to pick individuals known to
the partiers.
These suggestions are as good today as they
were then. And the problem is certainly as great
now as then. However, there should be no need
to treat the situation as a problem. Common de
cency should dictate that chaperons be shown the
utmost courtesy.
