EDITORIAL COMMENT
MTTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
by Dick B.bUr The Other Half
I Question 0! Motives
A study Improvement course, offered by the
Junior Division and Counselling Service, will
begin Nov. 1. Courses like this one have been
regularly offered each year for some time, and
have shown steady increased enrollment each
year.
It is encouraging to note increased student
Interest in the fine, though seemingly lost art
of studying. Registration for the course this
semester opens Oct. 25 and closes Oct. 30. If
registration follows its usual trend, there should
be a large group of students to take advantage of
the opportunity to improve study habits and
methods. The Nebraskan adds its encourage
ment to that of advisors, instructors and friends
who have urged a student to take part in the
improvemeAt course.
However, The Nebraskan feels it is equally
Important for the individual to think carefully
before registering In a course aimed at helping
him. Though this seems like one of the
things an individual would be perfectly safe
In rushing into without preconsideration, there
are some considerations the prospective "im
prover" should make.
First, he should go to the study courses be-
Tickets A Solution?
In reference to an editorial which appeared
In one of the first issues of The Nebraskan
this fall the situation of crooked parking has
not changed.
It is hoped that car owners who will park
In the new area in front of Selleck Quadrangle
will not follow the example set by those who
park in the Union lot.
Several years ago University students were
begging the Administration to provide ample
parking space for car-driving students. Now
that students have that space, they seem to
forget their obligations. The Administration
arranged for the parking areas with a great
deal of expense and effort and they . meant
those areas for all students, not just one or
two. However, it seems as if one or two
students consider themselves the sole objects
of the Administraiton's generosity by their
greedy insistence of taking up two or three
parking spaces with their one car.
If the campus police were to begin giving
tickets to those drivers who are parking lot
menaces, perhaps a lesson would result and
other students who search for parking spaces
that are hard to find anyway will make their
classes on time. J. H.

cause he wants to. Guidance Consultant L.
Edmison, in charge of the study improvement
series, said "motivation from within" is one
of the prime factors which makes taking a
course a success or complete waste of time
and effort. Being forced into the program for
improvement of study habits is not the avenue
to improvement, but a desire to use the in
formation which will be presented at the sessions
can result in habits which will eventually be of
help to the individual.
Second, Edmison noted the course is not aimed
at producing students who will all become Phi
Betta Kappa members, but to provide training
which will be assistance in learning. He said
that students could gain much from taking the
course, but how much was actually gained would
depend entirely upon the individual.
Third, students should realize the study im
provement series will not be a series of
revelations on how to make high grades. There
will be no formula for making a nine in any
course. There will be no secrets of how to loarfi
with little or no work. Sadly neough, there
simply are no such formulas or secrets.
Finally, students are being offered a chance
to help themselves, but they must also carry
their share of the load. To merely attend the
sessions without any attempt to learn the
methods taught there or to use what is taught
would be foolishness. It is more than a safe
wager that Junior Division and Counselling
Service would rather not have at the meetipgs
students who have come for the ride, students
who are looking for the easy way or students
who have been forced to attend. Actually,
these people take up space and produce attitudes
1 which are hardly conducive to good- instruction
for the rest of the group.
These study improvement courses are fine
projects. These and programs like them will
always receive The Nebraskan's wholehearted
support. , Publicize and work as they might,
The Nebraskan and Junior Division personnel
can never make the program really worth
while alone. This must be done by the
students.
If you think you can benefit from learning
to study better, and want to make the effort
to achieve such improvement, enroll in the im
provement course. If you are not satisfied
with your grades and are looking for a sure
way to bring them up with little effort, for
Heaven's sake stay away. T. W,

Should the present farm parity "added-value tax" for state pur
price support program be con- poses and abolish the use of per
tlnued or should the parity price sonal property and real estate
be further raised or lowered? taxes for state use.
A. As a candidate on the Re
publican ticket, I would go along
with the present administration's
farm program.
B. I think the 90 parity should
be continued, for it is the correct
way of holding agricultural prices
at a fair level. It is as fair to
agriculture as the tariff is to
industry.
What should be done with the
Increasing farm surpluses the gov
ernment is storing throughout the
country?
A. I haven't given any study to
the farm problem, and as a Re
publican candidate I naturally
would have to support the Eisen
hower administration.
R. They should be used for
school lunches, sent to countries
having famines and should be
held for future use.
Should the present selective
service laws be revised to. a policy
of universal military training?
A. It's my own view that I am
opposed to it. I've always taken
a stand against UMT. But this is
a personal viewpoint, as a citizen,
not as a public official.
R- No. I don't believe in UMT
unless we are engaged in war.
What should be done with the
tax problem In Nebraska?
A-I favor passage of amend
ments, now being proposed on the
ballot a step in the right direc
tionin an effort to bring our tax
laws up to date. I believe in con
tinuous study by a legislative com
mission of our tax laws in Ne
braska. I realize that real estate
is carrying too great a burden of
taxation.
R Nebraska should adopt the
'Should the proposed plans for a
"turnpike" in Nebraska be carried
out?
A. We know that turnpikes are
working successfully in other
states. My program is to build as
many toll roads as is feasible. We
should take advantage of the Fed
eral Defense Highway Plan. (Cost
split Federal Government 60 per
cent and State government 40 per
cent.) To have a good highway
through Nebraska is important to
travel. It will help the economy
in many ways. '
R. Not at the present time. Ne
braska does not yet have a prop
erly constructed through highway
system.
Should the present unicameral,
non-partisan Nebraska Legislature
be changed to a bi-cameral, parti
san body?
A. I favor a partisan legis
lature, because I believe it would
place party responsibility and be
much easier for the governor to
work with the Legislature. My
program means nothing to the
legislature, for there is not guber
natorial control. The change to a
bi-cameral body is up to a vote
of the people. I have no criticism
of the unicameral, i believe there
should be more members, for this
would give better representation.
R. I'm opposed to bi-cameral-ism.
I'm in favor of a larger por
tion of legislators. New members
should be elected from each of 43
districts and one member from
each county hi the State. All rep
resentatives should sit together in
one body.
Is there a need for redistricting
of Nebraska's legislative districts?
A. Yes. I think its been about
18 years since the districts were
set. Naturally, in this period
changes in population have oc
cured. Redistricting would give
better representation. There is
nothing wrong with starting a
study to see if changes are needed
in the original formula. At least
every 20 years a study should be
made and the districts brought up
to date.
R. I don't think so, unless the
population increases.
Should the "Missouri Plan" for
judges be adopted by Nebraska?
A.It's a step in the right direc
tion. We should give some con
sideration to the recommending
body so that there will be some
representatives from lay groups.
R. No. Absolutely no. I believe
judges would not be as well se
lected under the "Missouri Plan"
as they now are. It has proved to
be wrong. It doesn't work the way
people claim it does. It has put a
gang in control.
Why are you running for the
office of Governor of the State of
Nebraska?
A. It is the duty, the obligation
and the privilege of all citizens
who can to serve their community
and state in whatever way they
are able, in both civic and govern
mental service. I believe the com
bination of my 30 years business
experience and service in public
offices as Mayor of Lincoln and in
the Legislature qualifies me for
the office of Governor and service
to the people of Nebraska.
R. I have retired from my pro
fession. I got tired of doing noth
ing. I feel I can be of service to
the government. I've had experi
ence and feel I should put that ex
perience at the disposal of the
people.

Come, come to the Big Top!
Three rings filled with galloping,
cantoring, trotting and stumbling
elephants and donkeys! Major at
traction begins on Nov. 2 at 8
a.m. The gallery will tradition
ally represent the more interested
Circus lovers. In the morning
hours sleepy conscientious follow
ers will come to the Big Top.
They have watched the prelimi
nary parade of animals and are
anxious to again see their favor
ites in action.
This is a pay as you leave cir
cus. Why? First the gallery is
allowed to observe and judge the
antics of the elephants and don
keys. Instead of bargaining on a
prepaid surprise package show,
they get many weeks of preview,
then a final viewing on circus
day.
The ringmaster struts into the
ring. He knows the answers. He
is familiar with every gyration of
the animal's motions. He Is pre
dicting their falls, their stumbles,
their cantors and their gallops in
advance. He Is the scholarly
barker, a - newsman who may yet
become America's nearest home
grown candidate for Plato's ideal
the philosopher king. He is
Samuel Lubbell, the circusman's
Gallup.
According to this particular ring
master, the elephants have caught
a. touchjOf 01' Joe's virus and are
weaker than in the '52 show. How
ever, the gallery cheers loudly
when Ike, the major attraction of
the center Administration ring, en
ters. However, the donkey's have
been feasting too, heartily on GOP
hay since the '48 circus and will
not shine as they did in that re
grettably memorable performance.
Lubbell predicts the donkeys will
out perform in the first ring, the
House, but would still leave the
tuskers a fighting chance in the
second ring, the Senate.
The ringmaster may be right,
for he knows the behavior of these
strange creatures. However, let's
go into the din of cotton candy,
dolls on strings, bouncing balls,
and daredevils. We can judge the
individual acts before leaving our
ticket at the exit gate.
In the first ring we see 870 ani
mals scrambling for 435 seats.
Just a bit more organized than
musical chairs, the donkeys leap
and the elephants plunge on the
nearest vacant chair when the
music stops. We do not know yet
who will be seated when the final
cymbol clashes and fades. How
ever, now we can see a few
cinched seats. The donkeys have
their hoofs set on several chairs
in the South of the ring. Near
the Middle West of the circle the
elephants set a cocky eye on
their claim.
Among those in the Husker's
prime district is one of Charley's
boys who is a true thoroughbred
kennel elephant. A donkey whose
feet are smooth from frequent
running also canters with spunk.
In a special corner of this Husker
section is a lady pachyderm who
swaggers her long ring experience
in effort to sign a short billing.
Opposing her is the Husker don
key trainer. Neither will yea or
neigh on Joe's censure, the only
issue they will have to stomp
upon.
Across the field under the Big
Top Is another ring, filled with
Senate competitors vying for top
ring seats. One from "Joisey"
has a real Case for he is the only
elephant not supported by Joev
What a disgrace! He hides his
trunk. Cantoring vigorously in
spite of a lame hoof Is Illinois'
prize Francis. From Western
Husker land, an elephant with ex
perience and the traditional long
memory strides forth. However,
a donkey with an ironically long
er memory enters to challenge
him.
Leaving the three rings, our
fancy is caught by the capering
of many clowns, special charms
of any circus. One clown wears
a worn coon's cap. Another clown
tries the firecracker gag to blow
up any suspicious red coats.
Donned in a Missouri mule cos
tume, another strikes up the per
cussion section of the circus band.
Other sideliners include the steel
plated man with franchises and
dog biscuits in his pockets.
So goes the galloping, cantoring,
trotting and stumbling of ele
phants and donkeys. Soon, in re
flection, we will see, with apolo
gies to Bill, that "all the cam
paign's a circus, and all the poli
ticians are merely performers,
having their exits and their en
trances" cheered and booed by
spectators now, but forgotten by
the time the next Big Top rolls to
town.
fMutterings and misquotes in
spired a columnist on the Brand
ing Iron of the University of Wy
oming to write the following disser
tations.) Legend Department:
Once upon a time in a faraway
place called Denver, there lived a
sports editor. His name was Hack
Crudberry.
Hack Crudberry was a bitter
man. Once he had gone to a place
called Laramie to write a story on
an athletic contest there. He had
promptly gone to the press box and
ordered a ham salad sandwich
with mustard. He had been given
horse radish instead. Hnck had
become very mad and threatened
to jump from the press box to
the distant ground far below. "No
one seemed to care, and Hack be
came much angrier.
He went back to Denver, a bit
ter man. So now, Hack Crudberry
sits behind his little typewriter and
says nasty things about everyone.
It makes him very happy. 1 1
doesn't take much to keep Hack
happy.
Hack is at the head of his class.
He is the only on e in that particu
lar class. And so Hack, his little
typewriter and his caustic wit,
lived happily ever after. Much to
the dismay of sports lovers through
out the region.
Origin Department:
Origin of dill pickles One day
a fellow named Nero was cavorting
wildly with a bunch of the boys
down at a local drinking establish
ment. You might say that Nero
was just fiddling around.
While gaily munching on a frayed
cucumber, and pouring something
that passed for joy juice down,
Nero and a fellow by the name of
Brutus both belched at precisely
the same moment.
At this gay little exchange, our
potted hero Nero spun on Brutus.
and cheerfully commented "Et tu
Brutus," at which the whole es
tablishment immediately burst into
hysterics and a fellow by the name
of Will Shakespeare, who was a
struggling sports writer for the lo-.
cal paper covering the Lion match
es at the local coliseum, pilfered
the saying and later incorporated
into a play by another name.
But, back to the plot, and while
gaily whirling and giggling at his
clever little jest, Nero spun into a
wine vat. He wasn't discovered
until three months later, at which
time he, with a terrific hangover,
was removed by , fellow named
Dill Pickle. ClutcMd in Nero's,
pudgy little paw, was a ferment-'
ed cucumber. Thus, what else was
more appropriate than to term the
new discovery a dill pickle, after
its founder so to speak.
If there seems in the least bit
illogical, one must remember that
Shakespeare actually was much
older than he looked during his
writing peak.
Oh well . . .
Seriously there was a man named
Dill Pickle. While thumbing through
Who's Who is Siberia I ran across
his picture. He is really of French
descent but was kidnapped by the
Russians after the war and sent
to SibtHa to develop cheese holes.
In the book under his picture it
reads: "Comrade Dill Pickle is a
leader in his profession. As you
can see by the product he holds
in his hands, he has absolutely
nothing to show for his work."
