. f I -I i 4 i t I - ' 4 Page 2 EDITORIAL PAGE Moms for Peace An all-out atomic offensive for ptace has been undertaken by the United States. That Is the word from Atomic EnergCom mlsslon member Thomas E. Murray. The Banning Of Greeks Banning of national social fraternities and sororities because of discriminatory actions by New York State University has been criticized in the Nebraskan. The New York State action was, by nature, discriminatory. All national fraternities and sororities were banned. Apparently national affiliation merits banning in New York. An action taken by the Student Council at Rutgers University, aimed to stopping dis criminatory practices, is a more fair, work able solution to the problem. The Rutgers Council passed "a resolution last year stating that fraternities and sororities would be given one year to remove discriminal clauses from their constitutions, or face punishment by the Council This one-year period gave the offending groups an opportunity to at tempt the change in their own way. The results of this action have yet to be seen the one-year period does not end until March of 1954. But the program gives the offending groups a chance to correct their errors. Sororities and fraternities in New York State have lost their important na tional affiliation guilty or not guilty. The local chapters of New York State and Rutgers could not make the constitutional changes by themselves. Any change in their constitutions had to come from their national organizations. In one instance the local groups were given no opportunity to obtain this permission. In the other, local groups were given a year, ample time, to effect a change In policy. Another workable plan has been advanced by the University of Minnesota. Besides re fusing recognition to any new groups with a discrlminitory charter, that university re quires Greek organizations whose constitu tions contain bias clauses to submit annual written reports on progress being made toward their elimination. Failure to submit the report or inadequate reporting result in non-recognition of the group by the univer sity administration. In this case, as at Rutgers, offenders are given a chance to make changes, to correct their errors; they are not "put out of busi ness" simply because they are in error. At Columbia University recognition of dis criminating groups will be withdrawn unless .rulings against members of certain racial, religious and color groups are withdrawn by Oct 1, 1960. This ruling will affect all but religious groups., t In all these actions the element of fair play has been the governing factor. Disci pline has been mentioned, but will come if offending groups do not do their part in doing away with discrimination. The spirit of working together to lick a mutual problem rather than "you shall do this because you are student and I am administration," should go a long way toward ending discrimination in fraternal groups. T.W. Get Out The Vote Some persons might be taken aback at the mention of "getting out the vote" now with no election impending, but, according to what the Nebrskan believes it is a pretty good argument, this is the right time to do it. Patriotic groups which make it their busi ness to solicit the voters' interest, particu larly during presidential campaigns, are in advertently guilty of foisting upon the Amer ican people the concept of crescendoes of enthusiasm immediately preceding an elec tion followed by a period of abject silence until another election rolls around. What good does it do to put a ballot in the hands of someone having no idea of the issues and personalities involved in an elec tion? The time to Interest people in their government cannot be turned off and on at will; it must be continuous to be of an? worth. While certainly laudatory as an effort to make more Americans aware of the duties of citizenship, the "get out the vote" campaigns are shortsighted in that they do not consider that a democracy is based on an enlightened and continually interested citizenry. The only way to achieve the ideal democratic citizen is to develop a sustained interest in the man on the street concerning his government. How to do this? Certainly not by saying, 'Since you are a citizen you must vote. It Is your right and duty." A better and more lasting effect would be achieved by saying, "Since you are an Amer ican citizen, it is your responsibility to edu cate yourself so that you may intelligently use your right to vote. This is an everyday process, not merely a pre-election scanning of newspapers. It begins with entrance Into the school system and ends well, it never ends. E.D.

Mht JSewt JEdttor Marianne Hauaea goal of the new offensive will be a power reactor capable of producing 60,000 kilowatts of electrical energy which is expected to be built within the next three or four years. Murray said, "It should show the world that, even in this gravest phase of arming for defense, America's eyes still are on the peaceful future." It seems strange that just because the United States is attempting to develop some thing for peaceful purposes that a "history making announcement" need be made. Naturally such a project is news regardless of the state of world affairs, yet one might well wonder that it is news also because Americans have become so enured to reading of atomic resources being adapted for arma ment that the very oddity of peaceful appli cations should startle us. When, after eight years in the atomic age, our nation is finally coming out with de velopment along peaceful lines, it is not nec essarily a reflection on the United States; but rather on the condition of world affairs. Nevertheless, it is a sad signpost of our times that, application of this new energy source must wait any time at all before peaceful application. E.D. Margin Notes The Construction Craze Not only is the University in a fever of construction, but apparently so is all of Lin coln. Sixty-two permits for new houses were is sued by the city building inspector for the first 21 days of October. With 10 days re maining, this month is already 12 new homes and $95,035 in cost ahead of this month last year. A carpenter's paradise! Once Upon A Time . . . Arranging for a Panmunjom peace confer ence, the Communists have insisted upon a round-table discussion. The system worked pretty well for King Arthur, with his original round table. But times have changed. Gon' Fishin'? The latest sporting stunt has developed a new angle to the ancient art of fishing. Some merry-makers in London got into a heated debate about fishing, and the result was a bet that it would be impossible to fish in the Thames from the roof of the Savoy Hotel. Sounds simple enough, but the roof is 261 feet from the Thames and 150 feet high. A British flycasting expert, however, proved that it could be done, by casting a lead sinker six feet into the river from the roof. He didn't catch anything there are no fish in the Thames at that point. Them Boom Days Is Back Here is the 1953 version of the Rush of '49. History repeats itself, people say. Only this time it isn't gold the prospectors want, but uranium. A lone prospector made what "looks like an important new discovery" of uranium in remote lands of Wyoming. A rush of other prospectors followed and now more than 20 have already staked claims in the area. Go West, young man, go West. Fur-lined Foxholes Next? Things is looking up. Breakfast in bed an unheard-of-luxury to fighting men has arrived in Korea. An Army sergeant reported that he de livered coffee and flapjacks to the men in his unit in their bunks last Sunday morning. It seems he had prepared breakfast for the outfit, but they all stayed in bed. Since they wouldn't come to the breakfast, he brought it to them. Wonder if the same trick would work in the dorm , , . A Matter of Viewpoint in Tehran, Iran, the Shah recently gave 32,000 acres of his land to 1,600 peasants. In gratitude, some of the people threw them selves on their faces and kissed his feet as they received the documents which made them full-fledged land owners. How different things are in America in the first place, nobody ever gives anything away. In the second, nobody would dream of expressing thanks so humbly. But then we don't have peasants and Shahs, either. Terrific Traffic In Connecticut, the longest trip you can take is about 128 miles, from Greenwich in the southwest corner to Thomson in the northeast But during the first six months of 1953 automobiles traveled 3,800,000,000 miles on Connecticut highways. The State Safety Commission figured that out by studying the amount of gasoline consumed in the state. Tourists, no doubt THE NEBRASKAN LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS "It's obvious this course just doesn't' have anything to offer any more so we'll just have to make it a 'Required.' " Letterip Council Unfair To KK's Dear Editor: It seems to me that an injus tice is being committed by the Student Council and the victim of this discrimination is the Kosmet Klub. The Student Council is sup posedly a representative group. This is as it should be. Why, then, should organiza tions such as the Corn Cobs, Builders, and Religious Welfare Council have representation on the powerful Council and the Kosmet Klub not? I think The Nebraskan and the Student Council should look into the organizational set-up of Council and correct this situ ation. MARSHALL KUSHNER Manner Of Living Dear Editor: Manner of living and methods 'of doing things are more likely to be the real reasons for dis crimination rather than differ ence of religious beliefs or racial lines.

I told you about those migration trains. Well, to say the very least, this year's edition was a lulu. Those present included about 105 band members, some six other males and about ten girls which - put feminine com panionship at quite a premium. There were three forms of en tertainment drinking, necking, and sleeping. Unfortunately, due to a mix-up by a fickle wide-eyed Chi O pledge, I was relegated to sleeping no comment. But I passed the time looking for good date prospects and there were QUITE a few females that would make "interesting" companions. Such as Chris (en gaged) with John (going steady), Zigie the Alpha' Xi with hot-lips Brendle, and another Alpha Xi pledge, a suicide blonde, whose name I have forgotten but whose actions will linger on in memory. 9 There were three local tele phone operators who took the op portunity to improve their operat ing efficiency. They were so taken with Kansas City they missed the train after our three hour stop over there Saturday night, much to the disappoint ment of a number of boys. But the best show was put on by one of the aforementioned frosh coeds, who shall be name less, who had sworn to me that she only held hands with boys.. This proved to be a masterpiece of understatement. The alcoholic frocking was not as complete and rowdyish as on the 1951 Kansas State trip. More of the participants were stewed funny instead of stevved-drunk. A trumpet player named Jim was almost assassinated he wouldn't let anyone sleep Saturday night. Then there was Dennis the Menace a most beligerant six-year-old, who persecuted Dick Huebner, Jim and myself until Chris kissed him and he went back to his daddy crying. Crazy mixed-up kid! Aside from a broken watch Stolen Goods mm ' LmCMl&A Others Face Donating Too By JANCY CARMEN Exchange Editor Coeds at the University of De troit, in looking at the history of the university's enrollment, are reminiscing the "good ol days." Twenty years ago there were , 1,577 men and 79 coeds enrolled fn the university, and today there are 5,617 men and 1,776 women enrolled, which brings the ratio of men to women down from 20 to 1, to a mere 3 to 1. The University of Detroit has made another interesting obser vation: "Did you, know that if all the people in the world were placed in the State of Texas there would not be more tha.n 11 people to an acre? Did you know that if all the people in Texas were being placed elsewhere in the world mm MICE you think it's old married man still. CM'10 LATEST COLLEGE SURVEY SI1017S LUCKIES LEAD AGAIH! Last year a survey of leading colleges throughout the country showed that smokers in those colleges preferred Luckies to any other cigarette. This year another nation-wide survey based on thousands of actual student interviews, and representative .of a students in regular colleges shows that Luckies lead again over all brands, regu lar or king size... and by m wid margin! The No. 1 reason: Luckies taste better. Smoking enjoyment is'all a matter of taste, and the fact of the matter is Luckies taste better -for 2 reasons. L.S.M.F.T. Lucky Strike means line tobacco. And Luckies are made better to taste better.

' This week, after being run through the mill because of my comments on the Miami game by my journalism instructor, a foot ball team member and three of the Nebraskan staff, I shall tem porarily withhold by Venom and quote from the column of Jack Carberry, Denver Post sports edi tor. This in part was what he had to say about the local football situation last week: "But if reports going the rounds of the Bis Seven and Skvline conferences are true, this is what is going to happen: "Bill Glassford, whose Ne braska Cornhuskers have 'lost four, and won their first game of the season Saturday against Mi ami, will be paid off on his con- V" tract and be replaced by Utah's V Jack Curtice. Also sitting on the hot seat is Jules Sikes, the Kan sas head man. "Sikes' situation is reportedly less definite than the predicted fate of Glassford. Denials will probably be in order, but as we hear the story, Curtice, who doub les in brass as Utah's athletic director, has been 'felt out' and is willing to make the shift if of ficially 'tappfd' by the Nebraska Board of Regents . . . "Curtice, it is said, does not want to be in the Utah athletic director's office when the 'story or 'scandal' breaks. (A refer ence to the Utah-Kansas State dispute over Jack Gardner, ex-K-State and present Utah basket ball coach, who supposedly lured some of his players to Utah with him). Should Glassford be let out at Nebraska and signs have al ready covered the Lincoln cam pus reading "Goodby Glassford" Curtice might well make the move if invited. "Some in Big Seven circles say this invitation has already been extended a bit unofficially, but still with authority. .. . "The Nebraska job is a right nice one." O f hnritv Not New With NU: there would not be an mora people in Texas? If Nebraska students think they are .scraping bottom when they give to AUF, they should consider other schools who have adopted similar campus chests. Cornell University is now plan ning for their annual drive which is held in the spring. Some of the charities they will be contribut ing to are: on campus, Student Relief and Foreign Student Grant Fund; off campus, National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students, and the World Student Service Fund.
