The Thoughtful Generation
Let's try our hand rt psychoanalyzing the
Younger Generation.
Let's give it a name, too. '
And when we're through, let's tell the old
sters so they can stop worrying about us
for they are worried.
The first and biggest symptom of this
worry was a survey by Tim Magazine. The
resulting label for us was "silent." The name
proved so interesting and catching that col
leg professors still use it
Latest in the series of worriers is the New
York Times. Recently four pages of its
magazine section were devoted to "Portrait
of the Korean Veteran."
The article calls the Korean vet "polite,
even timid ... a different breed" from the
World War II Veterans.
He Is confused and frustrated about the
"end of the war in which both sides are
claiming victory. Yet," the artcle continues,
"even these reactions don't seem to reach
very deeply . , .; what stands out vividly . . .
is an amazing amalgam of first-class fighting
competence and an almost eerie disinterest in
Job or surroundings or relationships."
The article then ties up this "disinterest"
with a peculiar "fatalism." "They had a spe
cial phrase in Korea, a phrase that spells out
the profound fatalism that they seemed to
feel, and that they still show now that they've
left the; wan That's the way the ball
bounce,
Obviously a main point of the portrait is
this lack of Interest Korean vets had toward
the war. Xven the "re-treads" didn't get
Where Were They?
The number of applications for student
membership of the Board of Student Publi
cations; was a disgrace to the University.
With all the concern students on the cam
pus seemed to show about The Nebranskan's
decrease from four to three issues a week
thy failed to rally to the Nebraskan's defense
when the time came.
If Students really had the desire to help
The Nebrasfcan, they could have done it by
showing enough Interest in the organization
which decided such matters and applied for
membership in the organization.
Xa other words the one senior applicant,
three junior applicants and two sophomore
applicants should be patted on the back for
their concern.
At the same time the rest of the student
body which was so up in arms about the
Publication Board's decision to cut The Ne
braskan issues should hang its head in shame
for not taking advantage of the opportunity
to apply.
Perhaps they could have gotten in their
two cents worth next time the problem comes
pv JA
The Squeeze Play
If you've paid a parking fine this year, It
was probably because you couldn't find a
parking stall In time to get to your nine
o'clock.
Undoubtedly you're disgusted with a sys
tem that doesn't give its students enough
room to park and then fines them for park
ing too many cars within that space.
Xresi more curious Iswhat happened to the
sBcney yea paid a a fine.
Last spring the Student Council Parking
Committee proposed that money from fines
go into av scholarship fund. The idea was a
reasonable one, since students, In the end,
would receive money collected from students.
But, when the parking plan went behind
the Walls of the Administration, a number
of the Committee's suggestions, including the
scholarship fund, were forgotten.
Instead, the Administration ruled that fines
"shall be utilized fully to implement the
parking plan for the 1953-54 academic year,
Including the hiring of clerical personnel and
additional part-time police."
In other words, the cramped parking sys
tem is now an expanding bureaucracy, with
policemen and clerks being paid indirectly
through too-few parking places.
In ether words, the Administration is col
lecting money from its under-developed
parking facilities la order to pay men and
Women t nab parking offenders who are
easgfct between no parking place and a nine
o'clock class.
Sounds like an ever expanding bureaucracy
particularly if additional policemen are
hired. Since issuing tickets is only part of
their Job, the bantam parking facilities are
financing the policing of the entire campus.
That's where your money went.
s According to the Administration, this
squeezing of dollars from student drivers will
top by the end of next week. At that time,
we are told, enough new parking facilities
will be opened to relieve the parking pres
sure. If this is true, student fines should drop
75 per cent. How then will the campus police
be ptld?,K.R.
steamed up. It was simply a job to be done.
They did it no questions asked, no yelling.
In a word, they had no gung-ho.
This coincides with the point everyone
makes about us, the Younger Generation.
We dont get excited. We view life with an
outward calm which the Older Generation
finds distressing.
Let's suggest to the worriers, the namers,
the analyzers that the explanation is so
simple they've missed it. Let's suggest that
wo have replaced the blatant, outward in
dividuality of their generations with individ
uality of mind.
Let's remind them of the intensely machine-like
character of the world we grew
up in and suggest that we accept this and try
to go above it not fight it.
Let's really shock those concerned about
'What's Wrong With Youth" by simply say
ing, "There's nothing wrong. We've just
grown up sooner than you realize."
Let's say, "The only trouble is that you
don't recognize maturity when it occurs in
youth."
Then let's add for good measure, "We may
be 'silent.' It's just because we're thinking
instead of talking. If you must have a name
for us, why not "The Thoughtful Genera
tion'?" S.H.

Vets Organize
NU Veterans, previously bound together
only by their common service to the nation,
at last have the makings of an organization
which will place them in a recognized niche
in campus life.
Delta Alpha Pi, now lacking only formal
recognition, has 20 active members at the
present and plans to inaugurate a pledge
class.
Eventual ownership of a fraternity house
and possible establishment of a National or
ganization are contemplated.
This, for a beginning, is certainly ambi
tious; but, at any rate, it is typical of the
"can-do" spirit exemplified by America's
servicemen.
Delta Alpha Pi is restricted to ex-members
of the Armed Forces who hold an Honorable
Discharge or were released from service
without prejudice. This however is the only
restriction to membership; for written in the
Constitution is the clause, "No person, be
cause of his race, creed, or color shall be
refused pledgeship."
Again, this clause is a carry-over from
service life. While the military is far from
democratic by its nature, those men serving
in it highly prize democratic principles.
Contrary to some notions, the veteran on
the campus is not looking to Uncle Sam for
handouts; nor is he a "security conscious"
displaced person.
The veteran in college is at a disadvan
tage, to be sure, in that his contemporaries
in college are his juniors by some two to six
years and his interests differ from theirs; yet
he has a distinct advantage because of this.
The veteran uually know what he wants
out of a college education. He generally has
a more mature approach to his problems.
For this reason, The Nebraskan believes that
Delta Alpha Pi will likely set some standards
which ether Greek organizations may do well
to notice. E.D.
Margin Notes
A New Killer
During August a series of "ice box inci
dents" resulted in the deaths of several chil
dren in the United States The youngsters,
playing hide-and-seek no doubt, got shut up
in the abandoned boxes and were smothered
to death.
Several towns in the country immediately
passed ordinances forbidding unused ice
boxes to remain within the playing areas of
children.
But this week two four-year-old boys were
found dead inside an abandoned ice box in
Windsor, Ont.
To The Depths
Modern man is not satisfied with breaking
the sound barrier or flying at record heights.
Now he must descend to the bottoms of
the ocean. A month or two ago a couple of
French naval officers took a diving boat a
mile beneath the surface.
This week a 69-year-old professor rose to
new depths and got his bathyscafe more
than twice as far from air.
Pelican's Pitiful Plight
A white pelican found a new home Thurs
day. Unusual visitor for eastern Nebraska,
the migrating bird settled down on Oak
Lake. Park department officials captured
him, however, and took him to Pioneer Park.
Not even a pelican can do as he pleases
nowadays.
A Chance For The 'Bums'
The Yanks are leading in the World Series
so far. This is getting to be a habit.
However, if the Democrats can be ousted
after 20 years, surely there is still some hope
for "Dem Bums."

On The I Search For 'Truth'
Aisle i Is 'Martin Luther'
You have an opportunity to
see a very extraordinary movie
this weekend. "Martin Luther"
is a movie which you owe it to
yourself to see. I doubt seriously
that I would have gone, had it
not been for this column. I can
tell you that I am glad I saw
"Martin Luther."
Before I went to this movie, I
had the impression that it was
more than just another religious
epic; but I didn't expect it to be
a very good movie. It did not
seem to me that "Martin Luther"
was anti-Catholic. Personally, I
felt that the movie was not
"jabbing" the Roman Catholic
Church.
Rather, I carried away the
feeling that here was a man who
searched until he found a "truth"
he could live by. Certainly, all
of us cannot find the Identical
religious "truth." The fact that
we search is important and I
think the movie Jolts anyone into
re-examining the faith he lives
by.
By anyone's standards Luther
was a great if not a saintly
man. At a time when a vast ma
jority of the world's civilized
population was ruled by the
Church-State government of the
Holy Roman Empire, Martin
Luther rose up in defiance to
a situation he could not tolerate.
To tell a controversial story
such as this is not easy for any
movie-maker. Most members of
the Catholic Church agree that
the Church did not have its own
house in too good order at the
time of Luther.
In all fairness I say that the
Catholic Church would have lit
tle to criticize in this movie. I
hope no Protestant will unjustly
criticize the Catholic Church
after seeing this movie.
I walked out of the theater
with the thought that Faith is

Here we are again. Same col
umn, same paper, same day,
poorer humor and some enlight
ening thoughts (?), all for the
price of a jitney token.
Spent a most enjoyable week
end in Champaign due in part to
the improved showing of the
football team. The University of
Illinois is quite an institution.
There are some 18,000 students
with 60 fraternities and about
that many dolly houses.
For a school of that size they
really have a lot of school spirit.
Thousands of Illini students and
fraternity pledges held a torch
light rally last Friday night and
really whooped it up.
Potsy Clark sort of dampened
things when he told the ralliers
that they shouldn't be so excited
about lil' ole Nebraska, for Wis
consin was coming up soon. Lit
tle did he know.
Apart from the spirit, Illinois
is in some ways the same as Ne
braska. Parking is a most criti
cal problem. Until this year one
had to be of legal age to have a
car, and everyone took cabs and
moaned. This year anyone can
have a car at school and they are
still moaning about the parking
space shortage.
Of course the university has
taken advantage of the situation
with parking meters on the cam
pus, Imagine, they only get 20
hours of parking for their dollar
I've been asked to put in a
