THE NEBRASKAN
Ncbraskan Editorials:

To saj- Ciat student -.t the University are
lucky is putting it mildly.
The parking situation on campus is and the
administration along with many faculty 'mem
bers agree not as good as it could be. But
that's where University students "have it over"
those in many other institutions of higher learn
ing. Parking for seniors only, bicycles for fresh
men and sophomores, reversion of existing park
ing spaces into lots for construction are some
of the "answers" to parking situations on other
campuses..
At Nebraska, students have an equal oppor
tunity to obtain parking permits. These don't
guarantee spaces, but they do give to each
student and faculty member, for that matter
a chance to run at the obstacle course each
morning before eight.
Chancellor Hardin said that he realizes there
is a problem. "The question is, should we re
strict parking to some students or allow every
one an equal opportunity to park on the cam
pus? I feel that the latter is the better answer
right now," he stated.
As an aid to the situation the Chancellor point
ed to the large parking lot at 17th and Vine.
"There's room there for students who are will
ing to walk a few blocks to class."
When the new Union addition is begun even
more space will be taken from parking. James
Pittenger, assistant to the Chancellor, said, "It's
a question of whether we want the expansion of
our physical plant or an increase in parking fa
cilities. I think that most Cornhuskers want a

better campus and subsequently a better uni
versity." Most University students do want a better
campus. This mechanized age dictates, how
ever, that more and more students will be driv
ing to school. A resolution of the problem will
have to be conceived. The administration doesn't
actually know what it will be. Pittenger called
for all solutions. "We'll be delighted to talk with
any student who can make a practical pro
posal," he said.
At present, the Chancellor has asked te
Board of Regents for adequate lighting to make
the 17th and Vine lot safer. He and John Selleck,
the University comptroller, have discussed pur
chasing new lands around the campus. But the
University is hemmed in by very valuable land.
Even a huge parking garage has been thought
of. But Chancellor Hardin said of this, "We hava
already mortgaged ourselves to the hilt on the
'Union addition, the Student Health Center and
the Administration Building. It wouldn't be fair
to get in any deeper at present."
For those hearty souls teachers included
who don't mind a walk, there is always plenty
of room at 17th and Vine. We hate to think that
restriction of cars will be the inevitable outcome
of the problem. Parking meters on campus
aren't really a solution, either.
We can search for a long range answer. The
administration has asked for student help in
solving the problem. The assurance that the
University is concerned with this highly import
situation is temporarily enough to ameliorate
those who find a six-block walk tough.
Officers of the Interfrater-
nity Council placed themselves
in a rather peculiar position
Wednesday evening. They be
gan their meeting with a justi
fication of certain facets of the
1956 Rush Week which they
had previously termed as one
of the most successful in the
history of the University.
This explanation was promp
ted by action from the floor
but actually was the result of
rather pointed questioning
which occurred in an article
by a Nebraskan columnist.
Although The Nebraskan
does not agree with the major
ity of charges made by this
columnist. The Nebraskan,
does support a part of the
inferred dictum of the state
ments. The major portion of
the fraternity system was not
aware of the status of spiking
(the procedure of giving a
pledge pin to a rushee before
actual pledge assumption pro
cedures have been carried out
and most of the members be
lieved that spiking was illegal,
as it had been in the past.
The IFC says that it was
made clear to every rushee
that spiking was not an obliga
tory action. A "spikee" was
not bound by acceptance of a
pin.
Perhaps, it is necessary to
accept spiking as an evil that
is inherent in the system, but
let us not fool ourselves. How
many rushees who accepted
pledge pins before rush week
actually changed their minds
and did something about it?
On the other hand, how many
rushees with pins in their pock
ets did an about face and be
gan to do "good work" for
their chosen fraternity even
in the waiting period on Satur
day morning in the Union?
These words do not mean
that there was any evidence of
bad faith on the parts of the
officers of the IFC. The fact
is that the system is not per
fectand, perhaps, never will
be.
A system which allows fra
ternities to "snow" men from
small outstate towns and have
them obligated by the first of
August is not perfect. Trips to
Kansas City with expenses
paid bring to mind the story of
the little boy of six years who
took a sweet young miss of
comparable age to the ice
cream shop for a treat. After
they had finished and had
journeyed to the young lady's
Canterbury Discussions:
Fife Hslffous
porch, the young gentleman
began to force his attentions on
the heroine.
"I don't buy dames, dime
malteds for nothing," the six
year eld said.
An early edition of a Lincoln
newspaper contained, on the
front page, as lead article, a
story about some of the more
sordid remarks that are the
result of the current political
wars.
On an inside page, next to
the markets, was a story about
a millionaire who had .forsak
en his wealth, attended college
and became a doctor to im
poverished natives of Haiti. Us
ing family funds he had estab
lished a clinic and medical
center. Only one thing re
mained to be done a suitable
memorial to Albert Schweitzer.
Bob Considine said recently
that he would like to write as
his final piece of copy, a story
about a "guaranteed and last
ing peace." Perhaps, he will
some day. The distance be
tween the first page and the
market page isn't very far un
til the paper is opened and
split into two segments.

The first in a series of discussions entitled
"My Country and Its People" will be presented
at the Sunday meeting of the Canterbury Club at
the University Episcopal Chapter.
Each of the series will be devoted to a differ
ent country with the discussion being led by a
native of that country. This week Dismas
Mdachi will present "Tanganyika, My Country'

Pledges are gullible. One will
even testify to it. A wise old soph
omore told him the hasher's name
-it happened at no-
was Jack. It really wasn't. So the
pledge repeatedly called for
"Jack." Finally, very irritated,
he tapped the hasher on the back
and said, "Will, you please give
me a glass of milk." The sage
reply was, "All you have to do is
ask me."

Test Lab "Upstairs"
Even In aviation's earliest years, it was axiomatic that "proof
must come in the air". Out of this, the flying test bed was born
. . . and slowly grew to its present-day stature as an indispen
sable engineering' tool, implemented by an extensive variety
of engineering skills.
The problems of observing and recording an engine's per
formance in the air are legion. Most recently, a Boeing B-50
and a North American B-45 were readied as test beds for
iPratt & Whitney Aircraft's J-57 and J-75 turbojets. The
experimental power plant, contained in a retractable pod in
the bomb bay, can be flown to locations where atmospheric
conditions permit most efficient testing. The prototype is
then extended into the air stream for actual flight work with
the regular engines idled, and the job of observing and
recording in-flight performance begins.
From the first shakedown flight to the test engine's even,
tual acceptance, invaluable information is gathered. Perhaps
the most vital contribution made by P & W As flying test-bed
program is the great reduction in time between initial devel
opment and quantity production of engines. Important, too,'
is the quality and diversity of engineering talent involved in
such a program, for it spells out remarkable opportunity for
today's engineering student.
