Poge 2 SUMMER NEBRASKAN TKursdoy, July 5, 1956 Summer Ncbraskan Editorials: Tragic Reminder UTTlt MAN ON CAMTV fey Ckk Ctr Last weekend brought news of the tragic crash of two Urge air liners. A University student was among those presumed dead on one of the planes. This fact, with its stark reality, points up a fact which the Air Age Education Workshop has been presenting the past week t the University. We are living in an air age. A few years ago, air crashes rarely involved anyone we knew. Flying was more or less confined to the wealthy, or businessmen with more money than time. Today, everyone flies. The recent crash points up another fact which heretofore bad been largely ignored except by a few aviation experts. That is, that the air lanes are becoming crowded. This fact, now given mute testi mony, can no longer be Ignored. No doubt the problem -sill be given consideration in Congress before too many months have passed. In this air age, everyone has the responsibility to be inform!. More and more, air problems are going to come to the fore. The day is not long in the future when the highway and traffic problem may well be dwarfed by the problems of the air. Summer School students at the University are being gives a won derful opportunity to become informed about this air age we live in. Dr. John Furbay, who visited the campus last week, por ted out that the University was one of the- pioneers in the field of air age edu cation, and that the program here is one of the best in the country. Feresigbted students will take advantage of this opportunity to ae-j quaint themselves with the problems of living in this air age. No longer is it something ia the future; something for the wealthy, or for the experts. The problems of the air age affect everyone of vs. As citi zens, these are the problems wnicn we can psy a pan in sojvmg tn the future. In aeronautics, in foreign relations, in defense, in transportation, the problems of aviation are becoming the problems of each and every one of vs. Let this seemingly senseless loss of life serve a useful purpose by pointing lip to bs our responsibility which we must assume of educating ourself as citizens of the air age which is upon vs. Sfraddler Unimr Parking has been a problem at the University for many years. Short of a major innovation, it will probably Jontinpe to be a problem for many years la come. But right now there is an additional problem regarding parking. .Since parking stickers are not required during" the summer, cars parked in the lots are not being ticketed. This has resulted in cars being parked with no regard to the stall lines. In consequence, one car takes up space intended for two, and Jhere are Sewer spaces. The lines are, clearly marked and fee stalls are wide enough to give ample space. AH that is required to increase the i that wRrvone nark in the snaces wrorided. A look at any of Jbe parking kits about 10 am, w2I snow the existing situation. There are a great many partial spaces not quite wide enough for a car. One car improperly parked often throws the whole row out of kilter. So, play square, park straight.. 1 te IS THE IKftCKXttft CLASS CUlt tl T.0?$ From The Editor: SsQing Is-'MeliQvihg-s Indonesian President Sutarncfs visit in the United States and his .apparent pleasure with the country and its political philosophical baas indicates hope for democracy in one of the world's most critical areas. The Far Eastern area is one of the focal points in the battle for men's minds between Russian commnnism and Western democracy. Recently freed from imperi alists, Indonesia and other far eastern republics are strangling against tremendous odds to establish and maintain an independent state, They fear Western attempts to aid them may be an attempt to regain portions' of lost control over their economies. The Russians have made tactful offers of badly needed industrial aid and have not yet tried to interfere directly in internal matters. It is almost certain .such interference will come in time, however bow obvious this is to Par Eastern leaders is debatable. The fact remains the Indonesia's leader seemed well pleased with the America political system and wished to talk aid terms. Perhaps one chance for ultimate victory in the nebulous philosophical battle for men's minds in the Far East is to continue extending leaders invitations to visit this country. Perhaps the old proverb that seeing is be lieving will prove accurate in a serious situation. -J.B. Sfiidenfs Tour Air Base Eleven University Summer Ses sion students made a three-day tour of the Pensacola, FlaM Naval Air Station. The tour 9 as part of the Air Age Education workshop hi which they are participating. They joined about 40 members -of the Univer sity of Minnesota workshop group for the tour.

The group spent last Monday visiting the Pensacola station. They spent Tuesday aboard the aircraft carrier., Saipan, and returned to Lincoln late Wednesday. Due to circumstances beyond car control ... beyond seine anyway, this writer is assuming the editor ship of the Summer Nebraskaa. Following he example of my pred ecessor, I wifi attempt to write a column. The mail thai comes to this of fice ooatains many fascinating and wonderful items of news, most of which never get in the paper. The reason for this may be Sound in an excerpt rom one such notice from a baby buttle manufacturer. The item was a comparison study of various types of robber aipples. It ontidned such detailed and in valuable information as the fol lowing. "A Cenoo-Hyvac vacuum punrp was attached to our laboratory manometer for measuring inches of mercury displacement when drawing air or bqrnd through a perforated nipple. The machine displaced inch of mercury when empty. It wac attached to displace one inch of mercury with a per forated nipple attached. This be ing the approximate sucking abil ity of an infant,'" Need I p en? Anyone desiring further informa tion should join the line to Room; 20, Union. ! To. get serious for a moment,' elsewhere in the paper there is an announcement of a '"Friday Inter-1 national Luncheon." The notice, if, it was read at all, was probably! passed off by most students as something which applied to some body else. i This as not so, neither for stu dents from other countries, star far American students. As the organ-1 izer of the luncheon pointed out,; The foreign student judges all; Americans try the ones be meets and the American, la turn, judges all fareiga stadeats by the ones be meets. So anyone who is interested in doing a rood Job of selling their particular country, would do weS to remember this Friday noon. American students, remember smQioBs of Americans pay thous ands of driHsrs to visit people of other lands, so you ought to be wiHmg to walk to the second floor of the Union; and foreign stu dents, wasn't Fsrt of your reason for coming here to meet American students, so draft miss fhis chance. 1 Incidentaly, anyone with an nouncements for the paper, ' or j letters to the editor should bring same to Booed 2, Union, any morning or until 2 in the afternoon. It might be interesting to bear some opinions an the value of special speakers and conferences in a summer session program. 2s it a waste of time and money, m real educational experience, inter- esting . but too time-consuming?
