After huddles with the gov- Regents, Joe Bovey and Joe Smith Hardin announced the results of a bill Ihe legislature which will change the structure of Nebraska and once again rnhusker state in a position of leader .cation and manufacturing.

From his helicopter high roof of the state penitentiary our re i set trucks full of machinery heading .!th Street. He could see the gatea ? as a familiar man with a pipe in bis -eled in his files and set up offices. City Hecreation offices of Lincoln had ; the local Men's Comfort station not one year ago, tht Wheels of the University ma. chihery took over the newly constructed Maxi mum Security Pen of the state prison and started pulling the strings of the great workings of this institution. The Pink Rag has been given new task among other things. We have been informed by the Public P.elations office that henceforth all news releases would be done in our headquarters. Sorority girls have been pushed out into the streets at least -on the fringes of the campus where no one else notices to make way for the state license manufacturing equipment. Amidst bitter cries Norman Gaske of the Art Department has been sent a communique that his mea will begin immediate work on designing 1) the licence plates for the next seven years; 2) the migratory game bird stamp for the '57 hunting season. Former coach Pete Elliott sent a letter via Betabird from California with this significant statement shortly after midnight on Sunday morning. "I knew something was up on the campus when I received a memo from the Grounds Department that from the second week of spring practice all men would wear plow disks on their grid shoes and that I was to make sure all practice sessions ended with running drills at the University's experimental farms. My sus picions were confirmed when Bill Jennings wired me asking if it were not strange to have fertil izer tractors follow the boys around while run ning drills." Some repercussions have been heard from the Business Administration where Charles Miller is reported to have exclaimed, "They want me and my colleagues to get jobs other than our work here. Dont they know that biz ad people can't be expected to handle real work 'out there'?" And so the University turns from the relatively peaceful state of a quiet sophisticated, literary 1 atmosphere to a wild rash to get the best jobs first. Over in the counseling service Dr. War nath has said that the seniors would be given first preference for the better jobs. And Casey needs a new dr a tighter. The University will make out all right without a budget. We have seen what a budget could do to our school and we won't let it happen. Ne braska must remain strong and it can only do so by being divorced from state support. Chancel lor Hardin admonished from maximum security late Sunday to every single student, "Help! Help! Lemme out!"

If Berlin,Lqndon, Paris, tanks and cannons couldn't do it, then bow would she feel if a crumby ole car did? Oh Tempora, Oh mores! Public officials must not get away with speeding. Sometimes there are such things as ticket fixes but this can't be condoned either. The solution to the problem lies with the American people. If he can speed then so can we. And if he can take the chances of poor little school children who have the misfortune of being educated along the highways and bi ways, then so can we.

May you lie in your bed in snoitpl terror, quaking at the sound of &e Ivch mobs rip- or four or five or six -i ping up your gate post You have dealt the youth of Amer ica a mortal blow, Mr. Caniff. Most likely any sharp rises ia juvenile delinquency over the next year or so will be traced back directly to young people despondent over Stump hill's fate. And we never did find out what the score was in that longest of all basketball games ever played on this continent. The University has been guardedly referred to a few times in the past as a "cultural desert" by those who have cause to care anything about it. The overflowing crowd at the Horror Show last month should smash these rumors pretty welL v There has been a lot of tak lately about the parking situa tion. Instead of all this talk, something should probably be done, 8$ talking only takes up time that could better be spent doing other things, like in civil engineering corre ipondence . courses. A little committee working unobtrusively in the alley be hand the Grill has come up with what looks like a farily good solution do away with cars entirely and replace them with horses! First it would give the cam pus a Western atmosphere that would look good on the covers of Alumni magazines and col lege bulletins. Secondly, the results of this changeover could probably be put to use by the Ag College. Thirdly, the University could do away with Big Time Foot ball and put in a crackerjack pole team. There all sorts of advantages to this proposal, which will be thought up and discussed at the next meeting of the com mittee. Every time I even think of that Caniff rat I want to go out and kick a freshman, or some .hing. David Happily is dead! good thing too, yon tutor . He started people to thin" ing and talking and that i bad, as everyone knows.

What are we looking for? Well, in the first place, we are seeking to find new stories. If there are any great Nebraskans, like Buf falo Bill (who, I understand, is defunct), or if there are any excit ing stories, like bank robberies or church fires, I would appreciate knowing about them and about the type person who could write such stories. Our rates are high for fiction. We would be willing to contact whomever we hear about and ne gotiate with them about the mat ter. It seems that I have taken enough of your time and so will close with an invitation to every aspiring writer to get in touch with me or one of the mem bers of our Caravan staff. Until we hear from you I'll leave you with my best. And by the way, say hello to the boys on your sports desk. They're doing a fine job. Clark Kent Editor, Caravan To the Editor: You, sir, are a presumptuous boor. I have been writing letter after letter to you in the hopes that it would be published. I have conversed with the chancel lor in hopes that he would allow me to have a voice in student affairs. I have again and again talked with J. Colbert about the possibili ties of getting a word in edge wise. And despite all this do you think my efforts would come to any avail? Do you think I could get some of my ideas into the paper? Do you think there would be any chance for me to have my say? Dou you think the Pink Rag would publish my letters? No. Never. The staff of your paper are in competent juveniles no more suited for the jobs they hold than Dwight Eisenhower is capable of running General Motors. Your editorials are rubbish; your columnists are inane illeterates clambering to reach some sort of obscurity. Which one will get there first is hard to say. But they all will. Your news stories are out of this world in triviality and your ubiquitous nonsense has gone too far. I wouldn't be surprised to see more of that rediculous little twerp, Peanuts, Furthermore, I believe the cam pus paper is uncolomadated. - J. F. DuUs sehulfz sdi mailt more or less personal Peasants, the other evening while I was listening to Shostakovich, reading Catullus, sipping Burgandy and typing brilliant free verse with my feet, I was again struck by the thought that Nebraska is a cultural desert. That is to say, not everyone is like me. No one is thinking deep thoughts; few ever rise to the level of- Gleuk's Steit, let alone to wine.

How many displa V While skirting the campus yes terday, I came across a young lady lying in a pool of blood at the foot of the steps of the union. She was wrapped in a sheet of white linen (which was fast becoming soaked) and was crying. She looked up at me and said . . . "I see by your clothes that you are a student." "These words she did say as I slowly walked by. "Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story for I'm shot in the heart and I know X must die." She said. " I then asked her if she had been to Student Health. "I see by your clothes that you are a student." She said. I was wearing regular v student apparel, a conservative navy-blue suit, a white shirt, without a but ton down collar and a solid color tie). "How can you tell I'm a stu dent?" I asked. She lifted her emaciated hand and pointed to the buckles in the - sam jensen back of my coat, pants, hat and T shirt. "You tie isn't tied," she said. Ergo sum, I said. Tempus fu git. Auf wiedersehn, I said. She grabbed bold of my left leg and pulled me to the earth. "Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story for I'm shot in the heart and I know I must die." She said. I listened to her sad story. Soon, I discovered that she was a junior member of Kappa Alpha Theta. She was also a member of Student Union, Builders, AUF, AWS, NUCTVj WAA, Student Council and was entered in the Miss Cornhusker competition which is sponsored by the Innocents Sciety as a public service. Her name was Hilda Lubaches ki of the Lubacheski's of Worms. Last night, she said, I dreamed I was a Mortar Board in my Maiden-form Bra. I climbed the steps to the Fourth Floor, the mystic of mystics. And there in the presence of Mortar Board Internationl I stood, she said. "1 S i' ' ; " V:;: T" S. Schultz (left) and N.

Happily Peat Dies Of Acute Criticism Miiwn v TWM Wannilv. 21. of 1319 i0. 18th, was found dead Saturday of poetic pangs on the roof of Selleck Quadrangle. Happily, who had been a frequent contributor to the Campus Green column in the campus sheet, was a junior in speech specializing .in envelope stuffing. Doctors said that the young man apparently had fallen from a sky hook and had struck a sharp criticism of him placed on the roof of the Quad. Nelson Chuang, another Green SSSEH m Vf"! lings' ACP This week, the Associated Collegian Press pinched, shoved and polled its way through 153 col leges in the country to find out what reaction of the students of the U. S. was to the ban on indoor kissing on the University of Michigan campus. We believed at the outset of the poll that it was essential to speak with only those students who were disin terested in the subject. Since we could find none, we went right to the heart of the mat ter and asked college stu dents all over America this ques tion: Kissing is a sign on affection. It has been banned on one cam pus indoors. In this fair to the students? Men Women Total It It fair 2 It is anfair 92 98 95 Doa't know 1 1 Don't care 4 1 2 The figures show a fairly size able majority agreeing with the charges of "Unfair to Kissers." Students who said that they felt it was fair to ban kissing in pub lic maintained that "the ostenta tion of osculation occurring on a perambulation would create a sen sation." That kind of student would think it's fair. Some students cite specific in stances where they are embar rassed by the conduct of their roommates or others living in the same dorm or sorority. "I believe that when I brought my little sister down here she was ab solutely shocked. For she said something like," Boy! Are they behind the times!" On the other hand, the vast majority of the American college students believe tht it's "o.k." to kiss in the campus quarters. "It's kind of like a bottle," one college sophomore stated, "If you can get couple of drinks while in a respectable place, you won't get drunk. But if you have to go out in the country, you don't feel you can return unless you've finished d Son 'Mof mii the bottle." A junior at the University of Illi nois said, "I'm against banning kissing because it's so much fun. Them that can, do; them that can't, preach." At the University of Nebraska, a sorority girl, a senior, had this to say, "You never even realize that people are watching you. I'm not ashamed of my guy. Why Dyke's the finest young man in the school. And if I can't kiss him in public, nobody else will!" Over in Iowa, however, the voice was tougher and more dis gusted with the ban. A junior girl in engineering said that kissing was something like a Republican Party. "Maybe you should keep the Old Guard up, but for fast action you can't beat this national pastime no matter where." Students who were undecided on the question generally fell into two categories. The first is those who are already married and the sec ond is those who are going to busi ness colleges where there are no dorms or campus living quarters. "It's no problem here," one biz school gal in Minneapolis stated. "We have what are known to the outside world as apartments. And all our boys eem to do what is known in art circles as sketches. Enough said." body as he was on the roof check ing for burning mattresses. He states to officials that the poet had a peaceful look on his face but obvious grey hairs were intermin gled in his curly locks. Happily had been a member of Pi Xi, frequent contributor to The Prairie "Schooner and a member of the Ak-Sar-Ben riding club. Told of Happily's death, Sgt. Nance of the ROTC stated that "Dis guy's loss through dying will be a preddy big blow to de litrary woild on de NU campus. We're gonna miss dat guy aroun here." . Karl Shapiro, editor of the Schoon er, looking gloomy as usual, said of Happily, "That boy was one of the lights of this great and cultural Midwest. Of course, he was just one of the myriad of poets, authors, philosophers and political thinkers on this campus, but he was a great inspiration to me and Buick. Ah, the pivot is again wobbling." Bernie Slow, friend and teacher of Happily remarked to Daily Ne braskan sources, "That Boy was al ways so cheerful, always so calm, alsways so so so clever." Funeral services for Happily will be held at the Diamond Bar and Chapel, Tuesday evening fol lowing the Nut Fry. Services will be conducted by Bishop David Bal asco of the Little Brown Church in the Vale. many.
