Page 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Tuesday, April 28, 1953 test Beivwen Us... By DON PIEPER Editor Spring, I think, is coming and that means tests, term papers and catching up on semester study ing. It also means that the call of the out doors is getting louder. t But, despite all this, I would like to see some student action. I'm not asking for much effort a little, but not much. What I want is an expres sion of student opinion on the honor system. Now, I don't expect any scholarly disertation, they will be accepted but not encouraged. What I would like to have is a flood of short letters with the campus but we will be glad to print your opinion This, of course, Is discouraging. We can get snatches of student thought through conversations but this method limits us to our immediate friends and they often aren't very representative, So, why don't you take a 10-minute break from your history text tonight and squeeze in a letter to The Daily Nebraskan between a coke date and a letter home. We are especially interested in your opinion on the place an honor system could have on this real student opinion on the subject. It's awfully easy to sit in our editorial ivory towers and write about ideals, fcven though the staff of your paper is composed of students, we often fail to express the true student- opinion. NEBRASKAN EDITORIALS on anything. We ask only that all letters be kept at a reasonable length and be accompanied by your signature. We will not print your signature if you wish but it must accompany the letter. We don't care if you blast us or thank us but please don't ignore us. Torture, Starvation, Neglect It must be great to be at Freedom Village and see all the guys come home. It must be great to see their faces the faces of men who never expected to come back. And all this returning of prisoners must make the soldier in the muddy foxhole further up the line feel better too. After all, it might not be so bad to get caught It doesn't make him want to be captured but sometimes those things happen. And yet we all know it's a trick. This, students, is a peace offensive, many respects it is really offensive. And In Take, for instance, the trip a group of Ameri can editors and publishers recently made into the Soviet Union. They went through Kremlin art museums. They saw outstanding murals on sub way, walls. They saw a lot that should indicate a healthy economy and a peace-loving nation. But they saw a lot that turned their stomachs Taking into consideration the fact that they were "K invited guests who were always "furnished guides," Some men a tiny percentage are coming these visitors still saw plenty of things they didn't home and we should thank God for that But like. what about the stories our returned prisoners tell? -fr What about the 3,000 United Nations prisoners which liberated GI's have charged died of starva tion, neglect and torture?

Astin Firing Called Unjust, Arbitrary (EDITOR'S NOTRi Tk follow, artidt apmrtd la Hi Arfl 171k cdilloa af lb MilnatN Joamal.) President Eisenhower said the other day that he felt Secretary of Commerce Weeks would not be arbitrary or unjust in the enforced resignation of Dr. A. V. Astin, director of the Bureau of Stand ards. There are others who share the President's rood opinion of Mr. Weeks. That Is one reason to hope that In the light -of de veloping circumstances the Sec-, retary will reconsider accept ance of the Astin resignation and request that Dr. Astin re main in his post until the com pletion of pending investiga tion. That would be the act of a Just man. Consider these facts: On March 31, Mr. Weeks said LUTTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By Bibler ' Shot that putt throw that ret th' lead out no six-day bike race ya know.

Although the delegates 1930 Rule Segregated Men, Coeds By KAY NOSKY Staff Writer As far as rules go, a close parallel exists between the head lines of today and those of more than 20 years ago. For example, the following headlines give evi dence that the University faced some of the same problems then as we do today: "Students Plan Party Without Proper Consent," "Seven Frater nities Receive Ten Dollar Fines For Not Obeying Rush Rules," "Parking Problem Is Becoming Quandary," "Council Debates Proposed Clause of Constitu tion." These headlines come from The Daily Nebraskan published In 1930. Other stories written in that year showed that some rules of today are a far-cry from the rules of that time. They also Indicate how unfavorable student reaction to rules paved the way to the rules we now have. It was in that year that the faculty committee ruled that men and women would occupy separ ate coaches on the return trip from a football game. Their rea sons for the rule was that the students "needed rest" and that "there always have been a few individuals who have taken ad vantage of mutual association of men and women on these trips to carry on in a manner that is not considered good taste. The dean of women at that time recalled that on previous trips the men and women were given seats in separate coaches with chap erons in every "car. Two men were placed on guard at the doors of the car -joining mens coaches to Unions. All three feel that our Union is came ened by the smiles of the boys who have come home.

They Laughed At The Truth A section of the American press was laugh ingor trying to laugh Monday morning at the new Senate marathon speaking record set Satur riiy by Sen. Wayne Morse (Inde-Ore). The rpeech, lasting 22 hours 26 minutes, was delivered during the debate on the tidelands oil bin. By Monday a certain segment of the press had fitted Morse's speech into it see-no-evil, speak-no-truth policy in regard to the tidelands bill. And, knowing nothing else to do, it .came up try ing to laugh. One paper called the speech an "up roarious . . . comedy" and poked fun at the more liberal members of the Senate, who opposed the bQI, for using the same "filibuster tactics" they have so often opposed in the past These shouts and accusations were expected. Throughout the entire tidelands debate these pa pers have used exactly the same tactics to de tract from the real issues involved. They have seen no evil in the bill which would rob 155 mil lion Americans for the benefit of 25 million. They have spoken little truth about the true signifi cance of the tidelands oil to the American peo ple. Their cries of "comedy" and "filibuster now come when the senators who realize the value cf the offihort oil to the nation are trying des perately to bring the issue before the public eye. Their long speeches not a filibuster because they are not trying to prevent a vote are the last ditch effort to bring the true story of tidelands cil to the attenion cf the public These senators are operating on the belief that the public support for the "give-away" bill, cited by the see-no-evil press, is a passive support based on general misinformation. Much of the mis conception of the submerged oil-rich lands stems from this very press, which has been quite suc cessful in covering facts with a popular, almost demagogic veneer of states rights. The weeks of debate probably will not change the vote on the bill now before the Senate. But an awakened public can at least stop the give away program from expanding to federal forests and federally-controlled waters within the legal state boundaries. Legislation aimed at securing state control of these natural resources is report edly being prepared in Congress for the day when the tidelands bill becomes law. If the fight to prevent this raid is an "up roarious . . . comedy," then the speak-no-truth press is right in laughing at the speech by Sen Morse. If. however, the prolonged debate is aimed at awakening the American people to the big steal now being perpetrated, this section of the press is helping selfish, special interests to rob the nation of its resources and its wealth. While we dislike to see the Senate tied up on one measure for three or four weeks, perhaps this is the only method to focus the proper attention on one of the most important items Congress will consider during the current session. We applaud Sen. Morse and bis colleagues Sens. Hill, Kefauver, Humphrey, Anderson, Wiley and Douglas for their fight fo protect the interests of the American public K.R. Yesteryear At 1W . . . By DICK RALSTON Staff Writer Publishers of The Daily Nebraskan: take heart. Others before you have had their financial prob lems with the University's fourth estate: (From an editorial appearing in the 1833 Ne braEkan) ."like the famous Greek mythological character who stood in a pool of clear water but was unable to bend over to quench a thirst that nearly consumed him. The Daily Nebraskan, to mention only one publication, this year has stood on 'the brink of financial ruin ad has not been able to satisfy its needs with the salvation which lay ready to hand. To emerge from the dubious analogy, we re fer specifically to the fact that The Nebraskan and other University publications are unable to use tobacco advertising along with other advertis ing which is the main aource of revenue for these publications. For years there has been a strug gle on the part of each successive student publica tion staff to obtain permission to run tobacco ad vertising revenue which has been so pronounced this year, the desire for this potential revenue has been intensified, but still with no results.
