The Council Wants Mien
You've certainly got to give the Student
Council credit tor trying.
You may criticize the Council for its in
action, You may accuse it of having poor
judgment
But you can't jump on Council members
for being satisfied with doing nothing.
Wednesday's meeting proved that the
Council is interested in action.
Tha first indication of this desire to ac
complish something appeared when the
Council quickly passed a motion to construct
a suggestion box to be placed in the Student
Union.
The enthusiasm generated by that motion
oon prompted another motion aimed at se
curing student opinions. This motion would
have sent Council members, armed with
questionnaires concerning the work of the
Council, among their constituents. The plan
was abandoned, however, after an unfavor
able vote of 12-10.
The next idea, which finally passed by the
overwhelming majority of 21-3, was to pub-
Two Presidents
If President Eisenhower had time to be
come acquainted with Adolpho Ruiz Cortines,
president of Mexico, during their joint speak
ing engagement at Falcon Dam this week,
relations between the VS. and Mexico should
be on the upgrade.
Ruiz Cortines, inaugurated last December,
has won the praise of political observers in
this country for his efficiency as chief execu
tive and for his curtailment of "government
by friends," which supposedly prevailed dur
ing the administration of his predecessor,
Miguel Aleman,
Long before Ruiz Cortines election in July,
1952, roost Mexicans knew that he would be
the next president He belonged to the same
party as Aleman, he had no political enemies
and he seemingly was worshipped through
out Mexico.
Weeks before the election the name of
Certifies was painted and pasted on every
farmer's mad fence and en every public
monument In all Mexico. On a hill outside
nearly every Tillage appeared, in giant white
rock letters, the words Torreon (or what
ever the name of the town was) con Eois
Cortines."
In Durango we asked a shoeshine boy (in
schoolbook Spanish) about obtaining infor
mation concerning Ruiz Cortines.
"Adolpho Ruiz Cortines? he asked ex
citedly. We codded.
With a quickness not normally known to
13-year-old Mexican boys, he ran to a nearby
newsstand, grabbed the latest copy of Tiempo
and brought it back to us.
With pride he pointed to the picture of
Cortines on the cover of the magazine.
If such a man can please American and
Mexican observers, as well as win the hearts
of little Mexican boys, he must bear the
makings of a great president
We hope that President Eisenhower had
the opportunity to become well acquainted
with Ruiz Cortines and that their friendship
may continue for many years.
A free world is strengthened through per
sonal friendships of its leaders particularly
when they are great leaders. K.K.
Underground Move
An underground society composed of dis
satisfied and militant faculty members is
secretly planning a move to force formal
adoption of a mandatory bow tie rule for
the University teaching staff.
The society, however, is not fully united
in its effort to draft a resolution to be pre
sented to the faculty senate.
It seems the society is divided into two
factions. The entrenched reactionary seg
ment Insists that the ties must be hand -tied
and not of the clip-on variety. The other
faction is holding out tfo the inclusion of
clip-on.
While debate is usually centered around
the acceptability of the clip-ons, other pro
posals are being considered. The latest deals
with the possibility of instituting a course in
bow-tie tying with credit of one hour. How
ever, there is disagreement on this point too.
EhaU the course be required of all students or
be elective? Should the course be conducted
s a lecture or a lab?
3a view of Inability of the society to pre
sent a tailted front, it appears to The Ne
bransksn that Wert are safe at least for the
present; but, should the day come when such
measure is presented to the faculty senate,
we arc indeed in danger.
Mental institutions have uniforms or lr
mates, but, while W is a mental institution
in a sense, this attempt will establish the (
precedent which will undoubtedly lead to
the same insistence on uniformity.
If this tjw continues unchecked, soon
other measures will follow. Today it Is the
bow tie; but tomorrow it may be the abolish
ment of cord.
Now is the time to nip this subversive
movement EJD.
lish a questionnaire in The Nebraskan, with
instructions that students clip .the form,
write their suggestions and turn it in to the
Council.
Prior to passage of the motion, several
Council members remarked that publication
of such a questionnaire would "give The Ne
braskan the chance to prove that it is behind
the Student Council."
We thank the Council for its generous of
fer to help us help them.
.
In requesting that The Nebraskan publish
the questionnaire, the Council passed up the
most practical and sensible suggestion for ob
taining student opinions. The suggestion,
never placed in a motion, was that each col
lege representative contact the student body
of his college for suggestions for the Coun
cil. This would have included the Ag Exec
Board, the Engineering Exec Board, Teach
ers College Advisory Board, Biz Ad Student
Council, etc.
The fact that the Council members refused
to circulate their own questionnaires and
didn't even consider contacting the boards of
their colleges presumably because the arts
college has no such board) leads us to be
lieve that the motion which finally passed
was popular only beacuse it required no ef
fort on the part of the Council and because it
would "test" The Nebraskan in its sincerity
to support the Council.
Although hesitating to do the work of the
Council, The Nebraskan accepts the chal
lenge. The paper will publish a question
naire to facilitate making suggestions. The
paper will urge students to take advantage
' of this method of contacting the Student
Council.
The Nebraskan will publish the names of
Council members, with the colleges and or
ganizations they represent, so that the mem
bers of those colleges and organizations will
know who. speaks for them on Wednesday
afternoon.
The Nebraskan will bring to the attention
of the Council every worthwhile project it
believes possible for the Council to consider.
In other words, because the Council seems
to exist only on Wednesday afternoons, The
Nebraskan will attempt to work with its
members during the week in order to present
a respectable list of ideas for the Council to
discuss and consider.
When the questionnaire is published next
, week, The Nebraskan asks that its readers
conscientiously list their suggestions for
possible action by the student body.
If the Student Council wants something to
do, let's find something! K.R.
7 Resolve ... .'
This is better than New Year's
With down slips just delivered to tlse
happy recipients, resolutions are flying.
"I resolve to study at least two hours be
fore each quiz." "I resolve to do every as
signment .even if nothing writen is required."
Or even "I resolve to be nicer to that lab
instructor."
Ambitious plans, but with repetition they
lose some of their punch. Seems like lots of
similar statements were heard at the begin
ning of this semester, too. But good inten
tions don't necessarily assure good grades.
Unfortunately, professors have the uld
fashioned idea that it's the little red marks
in ye olde grade booke that count
The new system of issuing downs at the
end of four weeks instead of six gives two
weeks longer than last year to put those
resolutions into effect So . . .
Actions speak louder than words but a
good average at then end of the semester
will speak loudest of alL M.H.
Margin Notes
Propaganda Cannon
Exponents of the "Americans are War
mongers" cult received some ammunition
when Lt Gen. Anthony McAuliffie, new US
Seventh Army commander, announced his
intention to attach increased attention to the
t tactical use of the new atomic cannon.
The new weapon will do much to
strengthen tbUS Army position in Europe,
but the propaganda from Communist cen
ters will make the most of the new "threat"
Perhaps the new cannons will prove as
effective as reports indicate, but their power
should be great the anti-America propa
ganda will be.
What Was That You Said?
Wednesday's rain, besides helping the farm
crops, also proved another point that many
University men have been trying to prove for
a long time that women never think before
they speak.
How many coeds said Wednesday, "It
never fails that every time I wash my fair,
H rains?"
The last time it rained was several months
ago.

Dear Editor:
.On Saturday (Oct. 17) during
the Nebraska-Miami game, I
heard many comments' from our
student body in regard to a boy
who was left in the game after
he was injured. I wish to take
this opportunity to let our stu
dents know that at Nebraska our
players get the best medical at

We have the most competent
doctors in this section of the
country, who spend much of
their time working with these
boys, and who are more than
qualified to determine whether
or not a boy should be allowed
to continue in the game.

the approval of our doctors.
An example of Coach Glass
ford's interest in the physical
condition of a boy was displayed
Saturday. Ray Novak was OK'ed
to play by the doctors, but Coach
Glassford kept him out of the
game to give his injured leg
more rehabilitation time.
I have visited many schools
and, up to this time, I have
never seen a more complete

at Nebraska. Nor have I ever
seen as much co-operation be

PAUL J. SCHNEIDER
Head Athletic Trainer
Benson Must Go!
Dear Editor:
Your article, "Undignified
End" which appeared in the
Monday Nebraskan, makes me
doubt the ability of the writer
to express himself on the na
tional agriculture program. True,
the end for Mr. Benson may be
undignified, but isn't that better
than the financial end he seems
to have planned for the farmer?
While the American farmers
lose several milliah dollars a day,
are we to about ethics to
this extent? Maybe one man's
feelings are worth that to the
writer, but they definitely are
not to anyone connected with
agriculture.
For several months farmers
have advocated the removal of
Benson in an ethical way, and
this was never done. If a build -inp
were on fire and one bocket
of water wouldn't put the fire
out would ft be unethical so use
more water?
Benson may be a "shining
star" on the political horizon
and a personal success on the
farm, but he has definitely
proved himself completely in
capable of handling agriculture
on a national basis. I would like
to say in closing down with
Benson one way or another.
DONALD L. CAMPBELL
By ARNIE STERN .
First off. I'd like to apologize
to those cab drivers that don't
take lousy pictures. I might ex
plain to any of you who haven't
noticed (or ridden in a taxi that
generally ca'b drivers have a very
poo mug shot staring at you in
the back seat.
From that bit of research I
concluded my most confusing
statement of last week. I must
admit, however, that I am still
convinced that cab drivers take
lousy pictures.
Many big things are happening
tround the campus these days.
Everyone is getting ready for
homecoming decorations and the
Missouri migration. This migra
tion trip should really be a whop
per. I don't think it can match
last week's social functions
around the Husker campus, how
ever; and I believe the Miami
footballers who helped us party
Saturday night will back me up.
While the Law School Frosh
are keeping busy with their Moot
Court problems, a few old time
students are leaving us for the
sen-ice. I heard via the grape
vine that R. S. "Short Pants"
Howey. Jim '"Monkey" Munger
and "Ramblin" Robert Reynolds .
r.re joining the ranks of the
United States Underappropriated
Air Force. Perhaps they will
find some cab drivers that take
good pict
I nndert. J -t .-re is now
a television station on the cam- ,
pus. Station ATO-TV was operat
ing from Channel 1433-R last Sat
urday much to the amatement
of many erstwhile Historical Mn
senm visitors.
I hope that the managers of
this station have cleared every
thing through the Federal Com
munication Commission. In glanc
ing over the spring program
schedule, I noticed that Clem,
McCarthy is announcing the Fiji
Tau Tussle. It should be quita
a spectacle.
Whi!e I am not a sports cel.
umnist, I feel that I must men
tion one observation of the Miami
game. The victory spurred tha
Corn Cobs ,o raise Bill Class
ford to their shoulders. Why
should he suddenly become a
hero? Why didn't the players
show their exhuberance by hoist
ing him in the air? Why doesn't
Johnny Husker reveal himself so
that we can answer some of his
questions to him personally?
Nuff said?
I am pleased to report that tha
new Union parking lot has com
pletely solved the parking prob
lems. However, I still have one
very bitter gripe. Last Saturday
at least ten Law students were
late for class because a student
parking lot on 10th and T was
reserved for Press and Radio Re
porters. If we must pay for our parking
stickers, then we must have use
of the lots. All Law students
have Saturday classes, and the
closing of a Student parking lot
to them is indeed a burden to
their attendance. Ik is unfair to
these students, and I heartily
suggest that the Student Council
or some other able body take
care of this matter. Student park
ing lots are for students and not
for football fans ,or press re
porters, at least on class days.
Bye, Bye; Buy Bonds!
On The I Greying Clark Gable
Aisle i Sparks 'Magambo'
It isn't every day of this or any
other week that you can see both
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sinatra do
ing an excellent job of being act
ors. But with "From Here to
Eternity," suggested as Oscar
material for Frankie. and with
Ava plaving an excellent role in
"Mogambo" it's a great day for
followers of these two figures
and I use the word figures in a
literal sense.)
After seeing the advance pub
licity for "Mogambo such things
as "Here's Clark Gable and Ava
Gardiner on location in deepest
darkest Africa, being eyed by a
hungry looking panther" used as
inserts in Newsreels; I suspected
a pretty raunchy movie. I'm
highly out of favor of publicitv
such as the aforementioned, which
Hollywood is using more and
more lately.
Regardless of how I felt about
the previews, regardless of what
I normally think of Ava and re
gardless of the fact that in a few
of the scenes when Gable was
vacillating between the two he
roines, it got rather syrupy
this movie "Mogambo is a fine
evening's entertainment (And I
have to admit that I went to this
technicolor Zoo Parade with the
feeling that now I won't be criti
cized for praising all the movies
I see.)
Well, sorry but 111 have to say
I liked this one too. For one thing,
"Mogambo" has an extremely
well-written script By well-written
I do not mean that it is "high
brow." I have seen many "high
brow" movies with lousy scripts
many bad movies with good
scripts but this one has a good
script and is a pretty good movie
at the same time.
Don't approach this movie with
the feeling that it's all sea rem
stuff there's a lot of good sus
pense and a lot of humor in it
Clark Gable is beginning to look
a lot more like Walter Pidgteon
but then I guess the gals go for
guys greying at the temples.
(Thought guys, let's all try putt
ing after shave powder on our
sideburns.)
One thing about "Mogambo"
I won't tell you which theatre it's
playing at but you can't miss it.
Just look for the lionskin-covered
box office BOB SPEARMAN.
