Nebraskan Editorials:
I k Sfole
The events of the past week have left campus
politicians gasping for words. Even, the Student
Council's vital issue of Homecoming Queen elec
tion has been forgotten.
If it is possible to discover a common denomi
nator among the IFC's letter to the Chancellor,
the removal of two skits from consideration
for the Kosmet Klub Show and the investiga
tion into a dance held at the Turnpike Home
coming evening then it may be found in the
Division of Student Affairs.
The IFC's letter is now in the hands of J. P.
Colbert, Dean of Student Affairs, who is also
chairman of the committee on student affairs of
the Faculty Senate. The two skits which were
rejected were turned down by a committee
appointed by Dean Colbert. Associate Dean
Frank Hallgren reportedly jotted down license
numbers of cars at the Turnpike Homecoming
eve and Dean Colbert is said to have interviewed
several students on the subject.
, The IFC query, which is still hush-hush for
some good reason, no doubt, was sent to the
Chancellor and in effect was a deliberate affront
to Dean Colbert and Dean Hallgren.
It would seem that the fraternity system's
respect for the Student Affairs office has reached
a new low. If the IFC has no confidence in the
University officers in Ellen Smith, then some
thing should be done by both groups to alle
raternity
Elusive rumors have been circulating the cam
pus to the effect that there is no fraternity sup
port behind this year's Military Ball.
More specifically, the basis of the argument
revolves around an invalid syllogism stating:
Fraternities are against the administration
The Military Ball is affiliated with the ad
. ministration
Therefore the fraternities are against the
Military Ball
This argumentum ad administration is not
the opinion of the fraternity system. This can
be proven by the results of ticket sales in or
ganized houses.

From The New York
f e Accuse
We accuse the Soviet Government of murder.
We accuse it of the foulest trea- ry and the
basest deceit known to man. We accuse it of
having committed so monstrous a crime against
the Hungarian people recently that its infamy
can never be forgiven or forgotten.
Lenin wrote in 1900: "The Czarist Government
not only keeps our people in slavery but sends
it to suppress other peoples rising against their
slavery (as was done in 1849 when Russian
troops put down the revolution in "Hungary)."
How apt these words sound today when we sub
stitute "Soviet" for "Czarist' and 1956 for 1849.
Hatred and pity, mourning and admiration,
these are our emotions today: hatred for the
men and the system which did not hesitate to
shed new rivers of Hungarian blood to reimpose
slavery; pity for the Soviet soldiers, duped into
thinking they were fighting "Fascists" when
they killed defenseless or nearly defenseless
men, women and children; mourning and admir

viate an unfortunate situation. The Nebraskan
has previously condemned the rash action of
the IFC, but we also hope that the Student Af
fairs office or the committee on student affairs
will do their best to bring things to a satisfac
tory conclusion.
Perhaps, Dean Colbert's office will have to
go more than half way, but if they are acting
in "good faith," then this may not be too much
to ask.
Last year we spoke of a "breach," and a wider
gap could not exist at this University than one
between leaders of campus fraternities and the
Student Affairs Administration. Perhaps at the
meeting of the student affairs committee next
week both sides will do their best to come to
an understanding.
One thing is Certain. Something must be done
in the very near future to restore confidence in
the Student Affairs office which in the past has
often followed inconsistent and somewhat con
fusing policies.
This confusion is a result of too many closed
meetings and undisclosed decisions made in
Ellen Smith Hall. The IFC is not the only or
ganization noted for secret sessions. Try to gain
entrance to a meeting of the committee on
student affairs sometime.
But, whatever is done by either side in the
future, let it be done openly and yes, let it be
done in "good faith."
Support
tioned is on the matter of the so called "package
deal" which offers dinner for two, orchid, trans
portation and tickets for a total price of $8.50.
Many organized houses are sponsoring group
dinners before the dance at various restaurants,
thus causing conflict.
However, as these are dinner parties, they
will disband before the ball assuring attend
ance. It is a recognized fact that the Navy depart
ment has done an outstanding job in their
sponsoring of the Ball and from all indications
it will result in the best on-campus dance in re
cent years, following a prolonged drought of
more than dry dances.
Times:
ation for the heroic Hungarian people who feared
not even death to strike for freedom.
Gone now are the last illusions. Moscow now
stands self-exposed. The torrent of Soviet bullets
recently did not kill only Hungary's freedom and
Hungary's martyrs. Those bullets killed first
of all the picture of a reformed, penitent Russia
seeking to repudiate Stalinism and practice co
existence. Could Stalin have acted more bar
borously than did his successors recently? Can
we have any doubt now of what awaits as if
we ever relax our vigilance and permit our
selves to become prey to Soviet might, as was
Hungary recently?
The day of infamy is ended. The foul deed is
done. The most heroic are dead. But the cause
of freedom lives and is stronger than ever, nur
tured by the blood of those who fell martyred
in freedom's cause. The Hungarian people will
never forget. We shall not forget. And out of
hatred and tears is born the resolve to carry
forward the struggle till freedom is triumphant.

THE NEBRASKAN
'round fhe
prickly
pear
Things have come to a pretty
pass when a fellow can't get a quiet
little fire started without some ge
nial do-gooder coming along and
putting it out. What are we be
coming anyway a University of
dull plodders?
Now I don't mean to take Love
Library to task again, even though
some of their personnel have ap
peared a bit crisp towards me late
ly, but I don't like the idea of
lighting a fire in the lounging
room, and then having it ex
tinguished in a matter of minutes.
Undoubtedly, this sort of thing
will keep me on my toes, and I
shall be forced to be a little more
thorough in future preparations ;
nevertheless, it confirms my sus
picion that Love Library has some.
thing up its sleeve.
There always has been some
thing tricky about the place, and,
if a recent communication can be
any judge of its present disposi
Bruce Brugmann
tion, it appears as though the in
stitution might be forsaking its
distinctive impersonality for a more
amiable approach.
This is the text of the letter
which I received; transmitted on
a gently flowered surface, with a
dash of perfume:
We of the circulation depart
ment like periodically to renew
old acquaintances both with our
customers and with our old musty
books. It seems as though you
have one of our books out at the
moment which we have not seen
for sometime.
If this book is not needed for
anything so tremendous as pro
viding you with a door stop,
pressing flowers, or as a source
of pictures for your scrapbook,
perhaps we would not be impos
ing upon your good nature and
sense of fair play to suggest
that yon drop it by the library.
THE AU9TERE OFFICIAL
Now, I ask you, what decently
respectable chap would resist such
an appealing entreaty? I took back
the books within the next two days,
and, if I can get the items re
turned that I have checked out in
Marvin Breslow's name, things will
be pretty well squared away, I'm
sure.
However, I do get the feeling
that my relations with Love li
brary have been stabilized on a
more healthy basis, and I now feel
free to turn to less important cam
pus trouble areas which merit my
passing attention.
I don't suppose that it is impor
tant enough to sidetrack any of
the big issues for, but I wish that
some of those ROTC tacticians
would give a little thought some
Saturday afternoon to the pressing
matter of a tea lift for Ellen
Smith Hall.
Presently, the shortage of tea
has been as noticeable as the lack
of responsibility in Ellen Smith
and I shudder to think what might
happen should both commodities
fall by the wayside at their pres
ent pace.
The first of these amiable ir
responsibilities evolved last week
when four fraternities were asked
to disaffiliate with the unofficial
Homecoming party at Turnpike,
and the remainder of the houses
were told it would not be wise to
attend.
Associate Dean Frank M. Hall
gren appeared at the event, license
numbers were taken and a list of
names compiled; later Dean of
Student Affairs T. P. Colbert or
dered Bob Cook to resign from
the presidency of the, Delt house
and the vice-presidency of the IFC
for what' the Dean termed "an
act of bad faith."
Other fraternity presidents were
called in for consultation, yet no
other action was taken against
either individuals or bouses.
Monday afternoon Cook was re
called to the Student Affairs Di
vision and told by the Dean, back
pedalling like a veteran from a
virtually indefensible position, that
he was completely restored in his
former campus offices.
As if to show that "bad faith"
is not a fraternity monopoly, let
us examine the ban placed upon
the Delt and Selleck Quad Kosmet
Klub skits Tuesday. Only minutes
before these two skits were to be
judged Tuesday evening, the two
groups were notified that their
acts had been considered unaccept
able, and that they would not be
allowed to participate.
Yet, it is a matter of fact that
the decisions on these skits had
been submitted to the Dean's of
fice on Saturday by the faculty
judging committee, and that Kos
met Klub president Bill Bedwell
did not receive this information
from the Deaa until 7 p.m. Tues
day evening.
This inconsiderate delay in noti
fication not only denied any oppor
tunity for the groups to correct
their scripts, but forced them to
practice four extra days.
Although this is not the essential
issue, I would suspect that the
wise committeefollowing a ban
on a play taken almost verbatim
from the Broadway musicale
"Damn Yankees" and another on
a retread job. of the "Odyssey,"
will be hiking over to Howell The
ater this evening to tosj stones at
"The Garden of Aec!eus, a
Grek play dealing with an In
cestuous mother-son theme. (That
tamp from the English depart
ment should be soundly thrashed
for his part in this messy affair.)
