BLESSED is the leader who has not sought the
nigh, places, but who has been drafted Into service
because of his ability and willingness to serve.
BLESSED Is the leader who knows where he is
going, why he is going and how to get there.
BLESSED is the leader who knows no dis
couragement, who presents no alibi.
BLESSED is the leader who knows how to lead
without being dictatorial, true leaders are hum
ble. BLESSED is the leader who seeks the best
for those he serves.
BLESSED is the leader who leads for the good
of the most concerned and not for the personal
gratification of his own ideas.
BLESSED is the leader who develops leaders
while he is leading.
BLESSED is the leader who marches with the
group and interprets correctly the signs on the
pathway that leads to success.
BLESSED is the leader who has his head in the
clouds but his feet on the ground.
BLESSED is the leader who considers leader
ship an opportunity for service.
Those are the "Beatitudes of a Leader" as con
ceived by the "Westminister Chimes." a publica
tion of the students at Oregon State College. And
they are something to think about.
It would be rhetoric for me to expound on
the virtues presented In these beatitudes. They
explain a great deal of themselves. I ask that
you read them and apply them to your own life
NEBRASKAN EDITORIALS
and life on the university campus in general.
This particular campus is chuck full of so
called leaders. Everywhere you turn, there is
another organization trying to perform another
function. Recently, one young lady distributed a
comprehensive poll on campus organizations to
help her gather data for a sociology paper. She
found that a great many students feel, as I have
just said, that our campus is over-organized. But
there was no solution. ' This problem is Just like
the old weather controversy: "Everyone talks about
it, but no one does anything about it."
There is, I believe, one sure solution. If all
the leaders on this campus lived up to the re
quirements set forth in the beatitudes, certainly
there would be no duplication of function or at
tempts to perform un-needed functions. All lead
ers would be trying to turn this campus into an
efficiently run place where the greatest good was
obtained from "activities." In other words, lead
ers would be "seeking the best for those they
serve."
I believe wholeheartedly in the value of extra
circular activities. But I believe just as sin
cerely that overemphasis can bring more harm
than good. This problem really isn't much differ
ent from the recent athletic squabble, both con
cern over-emphasis.
In later columns I plan to dig into the make
up of today's collegian. Then, I shall discuss what
values I see in activities.
But, you campus, leaders, read those beatitudes.
Then hold a self-examination.

The old North-South split, familiar in politics,
Is occurring in a more unexpected area the Greek
fraternity system. The antagonism is becoming
evident as one of the two trouble areas confront
ing undergraduate fraternity groups in their at
tempts to remove discriminatory clauses from con
stitutions. Alumni groups and national officers form the
first opposition. The Williams College chapter of
Phi Delta Theta was suspended by its national
two weeks ago for ignoring a clause of discrimina
tion. At Boston University, fraternities and sororities
agreed upon a plan to remove all racial and re
ligious membership barriers after a conference be
tween the Greek leaders and the University pres
ident Trouble is anticipated from alums and na
tional groups.
Regional friction became apparent at a Na
tional Interfraternity conference in New York
last month.
Northern delegates warned that many fraterni
ties are in danger of being ousted from their
campuses unless restrictive clauses are dropped.
Southern delegates countered in favor of "se
lectivity." They quoted a former president of the
University of Michigan, Alexander G. Ruthven
"No one .has a constitutional right or legal right
to join any particular voluntary social organiza
tion; he must be accepted."
Hyle Thibault, a delegate to the conference
from the University's Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter,
said the problem was pretty much a local one in
northern chapters. He also indicated that the na
tionals and the Interfraternity conference thought
the problem too small and localized to warrant na
tional action, but that "pretty soon it will be too
big for even them to handle."
After wrangling over the discrimination prob
lem, the Interfraternity conference tabled a mo
tion opposing bias as they did f the year before.
The result was to set up an advisory board to as
sist undergraduate chapters in solving the prob
lem? This action implies that national officers and
alumni are doing what is best for the active chap
ters, whether the kids know it or not. It also
suggests fear of causing a deep and open split
between northern and southern chapters.
The problem is riot new. Neither is it likely
to be solved by suspensions and excessive "guid
ance" to undergraduates who evidently know what
they want. The Williams College incident shows
that chapters will take suspension if necessary to
uphold their belief in a principle. Actions at Bos
ton, at the national Interfraternity conference and
at Williams point out that this generation of stu
dents is increasingly ready to prove it knows what
fraternalism" means.
It would seem that the question and the solu
tion lie in allowing undergraduates to assume
responsibility for policy decisions. S.H.

The highest non-academic honor offered by the
University to its alumni has been bestowed upon
a Lincoln attorney for his extra-ordinary contri
butions to the welfare of the state of Nebraska.
The Nebraska Builder Award is not new in
the state for this is the sixth time a recipient has
been named. Working for the welfare of the state
of Nebraska is not a new idea either but, it is new
in the sense that few people strive to meet this
end, other than their individual gains.
C. Petrus Peterson, the 1953 Builder Award
recipient, -was selected for his past deeds and effort
in working for the welfare of the state.
His qualifications include: instrumental in the
creation of the Nebraska Reclamation Associa
tion in January, 1944. He was the Nebraska As
sociation's second president Peterson also served
as vice president and chairman of the board of
managers of Council of State Governments and
continues to play an important part in its work.
As a legislator, he served in the Nebraska House
of Representatives in 1917. He also served one'
term in the Nebraska Senate in 1919. In the Ne
braska Unicameral he served four terms, from
1941 to 1949. He was speaker of the Legislature
in 1945.
'
Here is truly a man who has fulfilled the re
quirements as a recipient of the award in every
sense. The Nebraska alumnus told The Nebraskan
he was "surprised and pleased" when he was no
tified he had received the award.
"It is a very fine thing to receive the award,"
he said.
Yes, it is a very fine thing to receive the
award. The entire NeVaskan staff gives first
class congratulations to this unselfish alum who
has devoted so much time to the betterment of the
state.
But looking into the future, we wonder just
what marks the class of '53, '54, '55 or '56 will
make on the history of our native state. We hope
that 25 years from now, the Builder Award re
cipients will have continued to live up to the
standards established by their predecessors. S.G.

In painting a verbal picture of the campus of
1933, this column hag neglected to mention the
ports situation. Following the end of this year's
home basketball season with Saturdays loss to
Oklahoma, it seems appropriate to reprint por
tions of an editorial written following the 1933
season. (Nebraska ended the 33 season with a
loss to Oklahoma, 38-27.)
. "Nebraska completed its basketball season Sat
urday night without a very impressive record so
far a games won are concerned. Naturally it
would have been fine if the team could have won
the Big Six championship, but it is doubtful if
the games played at home, particularly during
the latter part of the season, could have been
much more enjoyable than they were,
"The team improved consistantly during the
season. The players set a good example to the
spectatore, who haven't been very apt pupils, of
how to keep cool and unemotional in the face of
discouraging breaks. The games were fairly close
and always exciting. There is little more that
can or should be asked of an athletic team.
"There is a motto carved on the front of the
Nebraska stadium which includes something to the
effect that it is not the victory but the game that
counts. That is supposed to be the ideal of
athletic contests. We hope it is."
' The parallel is obvious. From the standpoint
of the spectator, the majority of this year's games
have been well contested and worth the admis
sion fee.
The season's record has not been quite as dull
as that in 1933 (three wins, seven losses), but
neither has it been particularly impressive. Maybe
it's not the right attitude so far as school spirit
is concerned, but I think many students, Includ
ing the writer, would be far more interested in a
team that played a good game, win or lose, than a
team that consistently walked away from all competition.
