For almost two thousand yean now men have
been echoing the came of Jesus Christ.
K was born of man and died of man. The
Apostle' Creed states that he was crucified,
dead and buried and on the third day be arose
from the dead. On this last statement, millions
of lives have cast their lot. On the f actuality
of Christ's resurrection men have bet their very
fives. They have founded cations and created
institutions.
These men have carried the torch of learning
lit by the light of faith. They have died but
they have not died an eternal death, that is,
they have not died eternally if Christ rose from
the dead in body and spirit.
During the Lenten season, Christians try to
emulate, In part, the sufferings of Christ in the
hope that they will share his victory over death
The sting of death is not found on the brow of the
man who has kept the faith.
Most men will accept Christ as a historical
being and those who follow, have followed and
will follow Him say that Re is more than ac
tuality for He is salvation.
Religious Emphasis Week at the University
brought about an awareness of religion and its
standards, but there remains and will remain the
challenge that faced the disciples after Pente
cost. In this Easter season, there is an aware
ness of a religion and a Gre.i Moral Mind, but
the challenge for all of us is to seek and find
the truth of Easter and apply it.
"And you shall know the truth and it shall
make you free." S. J.
The Ivy Day Sing
The formal petition to Kosmet Klub by the
Residence Association for Men, asking for a
place In the Ivy Day Sing, finally indicates a
genuine Interest on the part of the independents
to participate in the Men's Sing.
Previously, many groups and individuals had
been campaigning to get independents into the
Sing, but the gestures were futile when it ap
peared as if the independents themselves weren't
particularly interested in entering.
Now, however, such is not the case. The in
dependents have shown by virtue of their peti
tion that they are fully interested and fully
capable of entering the competition.
However, just showing interest, isn't going to
get the dorm group into the Sing.
First, RAM represents a group of 900 men,
which, placed against fraternity group with a
100 man maximum, would be an unfair ad
vantage. Secondly, the KX constitution reads that the
Men's Sing is to be an Interfraternity Sing. How
ever, there exists some doubt about the legality
of that provision.
Several Council members of last year claim
that this provision, limiting the Sing to fra
ternities, was stricken from the Constitution
when it passed the Council at that time.
The Constitution on file in the Student Affairs
Office, however, does not list this questioned dele
tion, and for all practical purposes, it stands
that the Sing shall be Inter-fraternity.
But, whatever the official legality of the pro
vision, Kosmet Klub would be shortsighted to
place undue emphasis on this constitutional pro
vision and bar independents strictly on this basis
Thirdly, there is a great deal of feeling that
the Sing should remain with the fraternities and
if enough interest should generate among inde
pendent groups, an inter-dorm or Inter-coop
Sing could be held.
The stand thus far of the Kosmet Hub has
been a fair one. It would be difficult, and virtu
ally impossible, for the RAM group to be in
cluded in this year's Sing.
However, they should be invited as the KK
president said, to submit a guest entry with the
secure possibility that next year the dorm group
could form an Inter-dorm or Inter-Coop Sing, or,
possibly, be integrated into the Interfraternity
Sing itself. B.B.
The ISih Sorority
The formal pledging of 34 girls to Zeta Tau
Alpha last night was a tremendous step for
ward for the sorority system on the "University
campus.
Contrary to the gloomy predictions of sorority
girls last spring when the idea of a fifteenth
sorority was initated, the 15th sorority will not
hinder the rushing position of weaker sororities
on the campus.
In view of the number of girls expected to go
through rush next year, it hardly .seems likely
that any group will lack potential members.
Panhellenic feels that any girl who wishes to
pledge a sorority should have an opportunity to
do so. By chartering a 15th sorority, Panhellenic
has provided such an opportunity. It is virtually
impossible for Panhellenic to contrive a Cind
erella scheme which would allow every girl the
opportunity to pledge the house of her choice,
although as much as is possible is done to insure
this.
Sorority girls as a whole have reversed their
position of last spring, and it is hoped that
established houses win do everything possible to
help their fledgling sister sorority.
The strength of the sorority system does not
always lie in the quality of affiliated girls; it is
often a simple matter of numbers. The 15th
sorority is a sizable addition numerically and
should prove a stimulant to sororities on the
campus as a whole.
Another encouraging aspect of Zeta Tau Alpha
Is the fact that sororities at Nebraska are not
afraid to compete, nor are they fearful of their
traditional position. If sororities remained stag
nant, they would soon diminish in stature.
The 15th sorority will also help to ease the
critical housing situation in the women's dorm
itories. By absorbing several dorm girls, Zeta
Tau Alpha has somewhat eased the number of
upperclassmen desiring dormitory housing on a
campus that is having trouble housing the fresh
man girls adequately.
It is something like the initiation of a new
sorority that has consistently gained Nebraska's
Panhellenic national recognition for its efficient
and outstanding administration of sororties at
the University J. B.
istrirnination In Fraternities
The policy adopted this week by the Board
of Regents of Ihe University of Colorado on
(discriminatory restrictions in social fraternities
end sororities has aroused a noticeable amount
of interest on the Nebraska campus.
After a day long hearing. Including many
heated arguments between students, alumni and
faculty, a policy stipulating that all discrimina
tory restrictions be removed from the constitu
tions of the social fraternities and sororities by
Sept. 1, 1962 was adopted at Colorado.
A fraternity must be discriminatory in the
sense that, to be auccessful in their brotherhood,
the best possible integration must take place.
This can only envolve from a selection of mem
bers that will provide the harmony for such inte
gration. So far, this trend of fraternal organizations to
include individuals for membership who seem
ingly have the same interests has tended to ex
clude individuals of different races.
This has been interpreted as "racial segrega
tion" or "undemocratic action by the frater
nity system.
If removal of such clauses would satisfy the
public that fraternal groups are not basically
trying to stimulate segregation but are actually
only trying to attain their goal of integration,
the fraternity system should take the initiative
to remove such clauses.
Through the removal of these clauses the sys
tem would, thus, be strengthened.
But the fraternity will still have the right to
use its own discretion, which is usually the unani
mous consent of the chapter upon pledging a
member. B. C.

Good morning, boys and girls
I've just loved painting on Sun
day afternoons and I've found it
quite spiritually rewarding, lou,
yes, all of you, can find this
happiness and peace of mind by
commuting with nature tnrougn
the wonder of real oil paint.
Let me, boys and girls, give to
you the opportunity of taking ad
vantage of this advertirftment that
was sent to me by my very dear
friend and art teacher, Bruce Con
ner.
Dear friend:
A QUESTION
Dou you want to be popular?
Do you want to make BIG
MONEY? Well, here's what you've
been looking for! J ! A fabnlons
career in the field of ART is open
to YOU I ! ! WOW I !
Many people go through life with
out realizing that they are filled
with the creative awareness, po
etic sensibility, lechery and tape
worms that make up a great
Chances Open

Gcadhy, Bunny
Nobody believes In the Easter Bunny anymore.
The Easter Bunny is a pagan myth, who
doeaat exist, and never did. The Easter Bunny
1m like the man in the moon, who is only there
If you care to believe it. Naturally, in a pro
gressiva, electronic society, nobody believes it
t JL
It is too bad that the Easter Bunny had to go.
11a was a sice little creature, who at one time
would hop blithely about on Easter morning,
dalivering eggs to the children.
There would then be great racing about to
Cad where these eggs had been hidden, and ev
eryone got aide from eating too many.
The Easter Bunny also took part in a few
pagan spring rites, with all their dancing and
feasting. Modern man borrowed him for his
e!ebration, that of the resurrection of Christ.
But sow the Easter Bunny is -losing out.
Uftdern psychology is too much for him. Being
m intensive little chap, he is likely to believe
U. U someone tells him he doesn't exist.
So, farewell to another myth. There will be
co more grass stains on your trousers, young
man, from grubbing about at dawn looking for
of mil tilings) Easter eggs. The idea!
Perhaps ft is a good thing that the Easter
Jaffiy doesn't exist anymore. There just isnt
room in the young imagination for such stuff.
There is too much cold war and hot war and
atoms for peace to spend any more time think
ing about things that never occur outside pure
fantasy.
What is fantasy? Ob, merely unlikely figments
of the mind like the Jabberwock and the Jub
jub bird which could never for the life of them
find a solution to the Iranian oil problem.
Who ever beard of Edgar Allen Poe formu
lating a sound foreign policy? Al! he did was
create rather horrible ghost-like images, that
have frightened seven generations.
He, like the Easter Bunny, never created
anything of real usable value.
So, let us say 'arewe'l to the Easter Bunny,
the harbinger of spring and good will that has
little place in modern civilization. Take your
basket of goodies and slip back to the moon,
rabbit, we sre too busy here. You disrupt our
thinking.
Sorry, Easter Bunny, there are too many wars
to be evaded by building up our military
strength and too much peace to be attained by
armament races to bother with you and your
friends.
Then, the vorple blade Went snicker

In Proper Perspective
thief ks Bel
By BILL ORWIG
Director of Athletics
CEds. Note:) Today's Upper
Chamber was writtea by Bin
Orwig, Director of Athletics.
With the coming of a new foot
ball coaching staff to Nebraska,
it might be wen to review some
philosophy concerning inter-colle
giate athletics.
Athletics are an integral part
of any educational institution. They
are, in my opinion, an important
common denominator for gradu
ates, alumni and friends of any
University. However, it is im
portant that athletics remain with
in their proper scope with the rest
of the University program.
The tail should never wag the
dog!
With this in mind, we as a staff
must place equal emphasis on the
academic ability as well as ath
letic skills, in the selection of our
athletic personnel. Grant-in-aid ap
plicants must be screened and
awards granted on a combination
of academic and athletic achieve
ment. Much has , bee n said, both pro
and con, concerning athletic grant-in-aids.
Years of experience in the
regulation of inter-collegiate athlet
ics have resulted in the National
The Upper Chamber
Collegiate Athletic Association
recognizing the validity of an ath
letic grant-ki-aid.
I personally see no reason why
educational institutions should not
have a program of grant-in-aid to
athletes, provided the institution
controls them closely within the
regulations specified by its own
conference and the National Col
legiate Athletic Association.
It's a University's job to see
that this is done.
To quote our new coach, Pete
Elliott: "Our teams must be the
best that they are capable of being.
Our boys should strive to do their
very best in their athletic pro
gram and also to do the very best
they possibly can in the class
room." It is our aim to encourage
our athletes to do these two
things. We then will be producing
representative university teams.
Our varsity athletes as a group
and individually this past semes
ter have done well academically,
and the Department of Athletics
is proud of them and their record.
Athletics and education go hand
in hand. Training in athletics should
be but a complement of a mental
growth that is accomplished
through driving study.
On the athletic field as in every
day life, the world demands a clear
thinking mind and a virile body
governed by saneness and courage.
A combination of athletics and
scholarship develops such a man.
We as an athletic staff are look
ing forward to progress in our over
all athletic program. With the loy
al and constant support and under
standing of the student body this
can be achieved.
The Challeng
Spirit Of Modern
ExGmplifiGcl
In 'P
red
menca
ucfioiY
By HOWARD E. BOWEN
President, Grinnell College
The Spirit of contemporary
America is exemplified in the word
production."
Here, a nation of immigrant
and frontier people which has been
traditionally preoccupied with the
problem of overcoming scarcity is
not vastly more difficult problem
of how great riches should be used.
America must ask not only the
question: How can we produce
more? but also, the question: Pro
duction for what?
At this very moment, when the
so-called "standard of lrring" is
at an all-time high, we experience
disorder and juvenile delinquency.
Life has become suffused with anx
ciety, tension, and meaninglesaness.
Much of our time, energy and re
sources are devoted to the effort
to escape, or if not that, to the
effort to find 'peace of mind" or
"relaxation." The character of our
reading and recreations, our fre
quent need for sleeping potions,
and our almost morbid search for
personal "peace," all illustrate the
intensity of our anxieties.
It would be foolish to attribute
ail these ills and anxieties to our
great wealth, yet our present condi
tion tends to vindicate the long
line of philosophers and prophets
who have warned us that riches
or at least preoccupation with rich
es may add little to human
welfare or may even detract from
the good life. It may be just as dif
ficult for a rich nation "to enter
the kingdom of heaven" as a rich
man.
If additional output is to yield
important gains, these gains must
be derived largely from improve
ment m the uses to which we put
our material bounty.
Merely adding more of the same
kind of goods even though they
may propel us at higher speed or
contain more polished chromium,
or provide color images instead
of black-and-white can hardly
contribute much toward human
welfare.
In short, our job is to attend
not only to raising our standards
of living but also to raising our
standard of life. It is time we aban
don the naive idea that if only we
produce more and more and more
no matter what it is we produce
that something good will come
of it all.
But who i responsible to direct
our production toward worthy
goals? The answer is obvious. It
is you and I who are responsible.
Our economy is founded on the
principle of consumer sovereignty.
Production whether of oranges,
responds to the t.Unrn of us con
sumer. Productioa I emznilhllj
adaptive.

lead me to the view that not
much of fundamental importance is
likely to be accomplished merely
by doubling private consumption
every 25 years.
Of course I want to see peo
ple living in decency and comfort
end I wish to see poverty elimin
ated though, since our concept
of poverty is relative to the prevail
ing standard of living, I suspect
the poor will always be with us.
But I have genuine and grave
doubts about the importance, or
even the desirability, of more gad
gets, more speed, more exotic lux
uries, and so on. I believe that the
significant opportunities for us lie
in other directions.
I believe that we should find
creative uses for more leisure
though I am mindful of the great
importance of work as a funda
mental human value.
I think that much can be done
toward improving our working con
ditions as to health, safety, and
pleasantness. After all, we spend
a large part of our waking hours
at work. It seems reasonable that
the standards of comfort and beau
ty which we set for our homes
might also prevail in our work
places. I think there are great oppor-

tuntties in collective services
education, research, art beautifi
cation of our natural surroundings,
urban improvement, health serv
ices, social welfare services, etc
Even at the present time, it
seems to me that our marginal
expenditures for these collective
services return far more in basic
human rewards than our margin
al private expenditures for chew
ing gum, television, comic hooks,
gasoline, and a lot of other things
we can all think of.
Prom my remarks four main
conclusions emerge. (11 the quan
tity of our lives and of our civiliza
tion depends in large part upon the
uses to which our great wealth is
to be put; () the American peo
ple tend to regard production as
an end in itself and to neglect the
question of how great wealth can
be used to attain fundamental hu
man values; (3) our imperfect per
ception of the responsibilities that
go with great wealth is due pri
marily to the fact that the problem
is essentially new no society
has ever before been presented
with the opportunities and the
temptations, involved in the dispos
ing of riches so great ss our; and
) there are many worthy uses for
our resources aside from merely
raising the level of private con
sumption. Perhaps the whole thing can be
summed up by saying that the
ultimate need of our time is for
artists, poets and philosophers who
will stop merely condemning our
modern industrial society and will
show us instesd how to translate
our wealth into values worth
achieving.

To the Editor:
Personally, I would commend
rather than condemn the "radical''
groups who attempted to add a
touch of reality and ?snuinenes
to the Mock Political Convention
by representing the Democrats
Party and the South in true Dem
ocratic and Southern fashion.
The real grudges bom out by
the less active and less energet
ic members of the Republioaa eon-
tangent against the "radicals aS
test to the success of this attempt.
Yet. the convention has been lab
eled "farce", merely because am
groups didnt "play fair' and
everything didn't go as scheduled.
It is humorous that these objec
tions, on grounds of individual
rights, came from groups who
were casting their entire VaUot
with only a minority of their dele
gates present at the convention.
I am a Republican, and I would
guess that probably SO per cent
of Cse people who participated ia
the convention are Republicans.
Had everyone gone to the conven
tion with an individual vote rather '
than a vote within his respective
state group, Eisenhower would
have been a shoo-in.
Had the ''radicals" not acted
as Democrats, the convention
might as well have been labeled
Republican Convention.
Had everything gone off nicely-
nicely with no contention, no dis
cussion upon actual Democratic
Republican issues, and no reality.
we convention wouid have been in
deed a farce.
