All-University Fund Drive
Solving Two Tough Problems
Given two major problems which confront
jest about every University studept; given an
opportunity to meet a great need; given a
chance to show the outside world that the
University can and will get behind a worthy
cause the All University Fund is starting on
its crusade for funds to alleviate or at least
help alleviate some of the problems facing the
world today.
The All University Fund solves two major
problems, as we see it.
First and foremost it gathers into its coffers
the free-will contributions of University stu
dents and distributes the funds to the charities
which the students deem most needy or most
worthy of the support of AUF.
And secondly the AUF keeps the hound from
the door of the University the myriad of char
ities which a student might otherwise be
requested to contribute to do not bother the
students. The men and women of NU make
up their minds whom they will support and
get the job done the United way.
This year AUF is aiming to collect for the
charities which the students have designated.
This designation was made by the students
In the spring balloting. Then the approval of
th AUF Board was handed and from there
the wheels got rolling toward helping the worthy
and needy projects both here and abroad.
This year the AUF money will go to such
organizations as the World University Service.
University students may receive help from the
funds raised by WUS. Providing school equip
ment, food, clothing, health services and schol
arships are a few of the ways students are
encouraged through this charity to become lead
ers of their nations tomorrow.
AUF donations go to the National Multiple
Sclerosis Society which does research into the
causes and reliefs of the disease as well as for
clinics and patient aid. MS has been termed
"the most serious disease of young adults."
The American Heart Association is another
organization which AUF contributes to. This
organization attacks heart disease through four
major programs: Research, Professional Edu
cation, Public Education and Community Serv
ice. Emphasis, the AUF notes, is placed on
research in regard to discovering the causes
and cures of this disease which is the reason
for more than half of all deaths in the United
States.
On the "home front" another of the bene
ficiaries of the AUF is the Lancaster Association
for Retarded Children. In an attempt to give
the retarded child a chance to take some re
sponsibility and adapt himself to community
life LARC devotes full efforts. LARC School
here in Lincon is a recent endeavor and it is
only through local contributions that it is able
to operate.
This, then, is just a small part of the story
of the job which the All University Fund is
undertaking. ,
University students should be grateful that
they have been spared the horrors which, for
example, Hungarian students have been sub
jected to. Students who "have not known the
pangs of Multiple Sclerosis or of any of the
other diseases which AUF is attempting to wipe
out can give with confidence that their con
tribution is being received gratefully.
This All University Fund drive is the only
charity drive which is allowed on the campus.
It would be wise for each and every student to
think over the amount of money he would
contribute to charities if he were not at the
University.
Then he can dig deep into his pocket know
ing that the charities he is supporting are the
ones he wants to support.
He can give with the satisfaction that he is
helping to relieve some of the misery in this
old world.
He can give knowing that he is sharing in the
great work of the All Universit'- -d.
An Admission
The Lincob Star, quoting Chancellor Hardin
Monday morning, stated: "We, as a state uni
versity, are still and always will be available
to all qualified youth of the state, providing
opportunity for education to all Nebraska
youngsters who seek it."
This is the theory, as we see it, of the state
college. And since this University has not lost
its status as a state institution of higher learn
ing we can rest pretty well assured that the
University will cling to this characteristic.
But we are a little wary of a statement made
in the Star story presumably by registrar of
the University, Dr. Floyd Hoover. The state
ment: One disqualification which applies to
state and out-of-state students alike is a firm
policy of no admittance for those expelled from
other schools on charges of misconduct.
"How can the University admit a student who
has committed an offense for which NU stu
dents have been expelled?"
There seems to be a great deal of logic in
this argument. However, we can take an ex
ample at random of where a student at another
University might be expelled for distributing
unauthorized literature on the campus (such
with the young Socialists at UCLA) and com
pare it with the publishing of the Pixy Press
at NU.
Now this sort of distributing literature I if you
want to call it that) is highly frowned upon at
other institutions. It apparently is not here.
Would NU accept a boy who has been ex
pelled from UCLA?
Is it a question of whether he would be
expelled from here for the same reason or
is it a question of maintaining some sort of
national stand-rd of what "misconduct" it?
This rather sketchy argument levels some
sort of a blow not at the University or at the
right of the University to make rules and regu
lations for enrollment, but rather at the code
of right and wrong which now arbitrarily exists
on college campuses all over America.
For example at the University of Detroit a
fraternity was closed just a few weeks ago for
allowing drinking in the house. We believe that
a fraternity would be put on probation for that
sort of conduct here, but it would not be
closed.
Perhaps this is a reflection on American
morals or American mores u general.
Perhaps it is a reflection on the instability of
the University code of conduct.
But perhaps it is an indication that out of the
troubles this University may be having in laying
down rules and regulations for admission will
come a closer investigation of some of the
integral points stressed in considering the ad
mission of students who have been booted from
other colleges.
And, from all of this, we believe, will come
a better University.

First Things First. . .
Once again the Soviet Union has literally
caught the U.S. with its satellites down.
While the U.S. talks about launching a six-inch
test satellite next month a Soviet "Mutnik"
(sputnik with a canine inside) soars around the
earth 1,000 miles up and at a speed of nearly
18,000 miles an hour.
Some scientists have claimed that once 500
pounds or more could be thrust into outer space,
a rocket could be sent to the moon "almost at
will." The Soviet satellite weighs an estimated
1,120 pounds.
Already U.S. and British scientific experts
nave made Buck Rogers predictions that such a
launching will take place this week on Thurs
day, Nov 7, the 40th anniversary of the Com
munist revolution. Or, some say, that will be
the day the rocket could land on the moon.
The important thing is not that the Russians
have won a satellite race. The U.S. competed
in no race. What must be recognized are Rus
sian educational achievements. Americans
Nebraskans if you want to be specific have re
fused to recognize Soviet advancements.
In the not too distant past, University faculty
members toured the Soviet Union and returned
with some astonishing reports of Soviet scientific
achievements. Their reports were met with cool
reception. Some listeners asked, by more than
mere implication, if the speaker had previous
Red inclinations. We wanted only praise of the
American achievements, criticism of foreign
systems.
by Jack Pollock
Now we cannot deny existence of a powerful
Soviet educational structure a program one
U.S. scientists claims gives every Soviet high
school student a scientific background "five
fold" that of the necessary entrance require
ments for the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. Even Charles E. Wilson commented that
"There is reason to believe that the rise of
Communism has reached and passed its peak
. . . Basic research is when you don't know
what you're doing . . . (Sputnik ) is) a neat
trick." Charlie, even the Atomic bomb was a
neat trick.
Thus while the Soviet satellite soars, U.S.
officials attempt to minimize the powerful propa
ganda effects with such statements as "The
Soviet system has been marred by political
failure in the Zhukov crisis."
What the U.S. should be pointing out is that
American education and technology is designed
for you and I. That it is education for everyone
and technology for convenience of the individual
and the family in the modern home and at the
air conditioned office not geared to advance
technology of a state. Don't take my word for it,
I'm no expert. Ask our Hungarian students.
This didn't happen at NU. But it could. Over
heard at a frisby match from a haggard par
ticipant, "I just can't seem to sleep lately. 1
sleep well at nights and pretty fair in the morn
ings but in the afternoons I just seem to twist
and turn."

The Coal Bin
by jim cole
" Disappointment for Demo
crats," Blared the Lincoln Evening
Journal not too many weeks ago.
The local bastion of Republican
ism was refer
ring to the an
nouncement of
state senator
Don McGinley
of O g a I lala
that he was
no; goin to
seek a par
tisan political
office next
year.
The Journal
noted that
McGinley has distinguished him
self as one of the most able mem
bers of the Unicameral during his
two terms of office there.
And for the Democrat who
looked wistfully to the hope that
Write a column sometime.
That is, write one that puts
forth your opinion about some
thing, especially if it is the kind
that gets twisted out of shape by
coffee philosophers.
Write one that lets you air your
ideas that aren't particularly rad
ical, but that the fear of talking
about ttiem is radical.
Write one that nets mean let
terips by readers who fail to cor
relate their reading with their
brains.
Write one that lets you puff out
your emotions in an effort to let
off steam.
Just write one and see what
happens.
You get so sick of it that you
never want to see a typewriter.
Or a pencil. Or an editorial page.
Or anyone that comes at you
looking for an argument and hop
ing to trap you in tanglefoot witn
his beady eyes, a sharpened head,
and a sneaky plot.
Try it once, just for the expe
rience. Well, it finally came. I had Asi
an flu last week and had to stay
home in bed. Couldn't get to his
tory nine of course. Couldn't get
to German. Couldn't get to Eng
lish. Couldn't get to psych.
Couldn't write any copy or grade
any papers.
Couldn't get to ROTC lab, and
that was the worst part. For now
I know I'll get another letter. But
this time mommy wrote me out
a nice excuse that says Jimirie
Boy was home sick. So shouldn't
have any trouble there.
Except I missed all the fun. I
don't see why all the complaining
about Thursday drill. It's funnier
than a circus. Than a barrel of
monkeys. Or rather about the
same as a barrel of monkeys at
the circus.
Anyway, sophomore rifle cards
can now be picked up, the sign
says. Read your official bulletin
board. You might win a year's
supply of maps or something.
So, since I was tied up with
thermometers, aspirin, cough
drops, I watched teevee.
Turn on People are Funny some
time. I mean if you're looking for
good ways to get married. All
you have to do is send in your
name and tell them whether you'd
rather catch a man that's an au
thority on Mexican jumping beans
or one that can play frisby.
Then after punching the right
holes on the univac card. Art Link
letter and his bunch will put you
through the machine.
Presto. Out you'll come with the
perfect mate. Then Linkletter and
his audience will try to poke you
into loving one another by play
ing silly t.v. games and stepping
into tubs of ridiculous t.v. antics.
I wondered. Then 1 laughted.
Then I got serious, for I don't
like that kind of playful treatment
about getting married. The whole
thing seems a little impious to me,
for sacraments of the Church
ought not to be tinkered with by
television people for t ele vision's
sake. But then anything to get
an audience.
You should stay home one week
and see what goes on.
One day they came to the door.
The toilet paper people, that is.
She wanted, to know what color
ours was. She wanted to know
whether each section came folded
or not. She wanted to know the
design on the cover of the roll.
I don't know what else. What
she was getting at, of course, was
the brand. I would have picked
a more soccint way of getting the
info, but then that's me.
The whole thing tickled me pink.
Anyway, you'd better do a scout
ing job up in the bathroom so
you'll be able to give the correct
answers when they get to you.
Or maybe they'll want to know
what shape your girdle strap is.
Sr what color your cans of mas
cara are. Anything to avoid pop-

Lauds AUF
To the Editor:
Today the AUF drive begins;
this is the one chance students
have to help the many under
privileged and sick in the world
today. There is only one drive to
collect funds for all worthy organ
izations. All stuosnts should not only give
io the fund but should urge others
to do likewise. Just as we sup
ported Homecoming, we must have
the spirit to make this year's drive
a success.
A. J.
ping the big question: What brand
of garters do you wear, anyway?
Sounds like the beating around
bushes that poeple around here
like.
Tribunal Charier. The idea of
self government is fine, and it's
good that a stud;nt tribunal char
ter has been constructed. But my
chief concern is over its power.
And that should be the most im
portant in anybody's mind, for
without power all the objectives
are without roots.
The tribunal may hear cases of
discipline that are referred to it
by the Division of Student Affairs
or agencies of the Faculty Sen
ate. But what insures the refer
ring of any case?
The confidence of the faculty.
The trust of Ellen Smith.
Since the faculty and adminis
tration seem, at least, to have
given approval to the idea of hav
ing a student tribunal, I'm trust
ing that it will be allowed to hear
most cases. If it is to be permitted
to take shape, let it be permitted
to act.

Politicians all over the country
will be watching New Jersey's gu
bernatorial contest today.
The election which features in
cumbent New Jersey Democrat
Robert Myener versus up and
coming Republican Malcolm
Forbes, will be a good indication
of national party strength.
With the Wisconson carnage
fresh in their minds. Republican
National Headquarters has been
giving Forbes all the outside sup
port he desires.
Last week Vice-president Nixon
shook over 2,000 hands in 90 min
utes while touring a New Jersey
county.
Oiher GOP leaders called to the
scene included Labor Secretary
Mitchell, Secretary of Interior
Seaton, and New Jersey Senator
Clifford Case.
Democratic candidate Meyner,
on the other hand, has been run
ning all by himself. Meyner, who
was a surprise winner in 1953,
wants to win the election on his
own merits. And he is quite con
fident of victory.
Forbes has been closing the gap
during the last few weeks, how
ever, and despite polls which give
Meyner a 4 per cent lead, GOP
hopes are rising with each rally.
Our prediction calls for s Forbes
victory in a very vrry close elec
tion for these reasons:
1. Meyner was elected gover
nor in 1953 in a normally Re
publican state mainly because
of a corruption label which was
plastered on his opponent during
the last few weeks of the cam
paign. This year, however, the
Republican candidate has an un
blemished record.
2. New Jersey Republicans
aren't divided into two camps
like the Wisconsin group. Nor
does the state pos.sess a large
farm block which currently
hates Ezra Benson).
3. Forbes' campaign, although
over-drairatized at times, has
been continuous, comprehensive,
and effective. This, coupled with
Nixon's support which has done
a tremendous amount of good,
is a decisive factor.
4. In lieu of the national dis
content over Labor Unions,
Forbes is continually tagging
Meyner (whether justifiably or
not) as being a puppet of the
states CIO bosses.
If the GOP falls again watch
out for renewed and more direct
attacks on Ike, the guided missile
program, farm prices, and the
budget.
A recent University survey of
the state has shown that courses
in sciences and foreign languages
offered by Nebraska public high
schools are on the decline in pop
ularity. Latin, which was once such a
cherished and popular course in
high schools, is now taken by only
6 per cent of Nebraska high school
students.
English courses, which incident
ally include speech, debate and
journalism nowadays, are becom
ing more popular the report con
tinues. I have always held that public
high schools are year by year
weakening their curricula. No
longer are public high school stu
dents required to learn about cul
ture. Iastead they build bird hous
es, make speeches, and go to as
semblies. Of course some of the difficulty
can be attributed to lack of teach
ers and teaching ability.
Public high schools by not giv
ing students needed incentives for
cultural development are commit
ting an educational sin.
From our University freshmen
we hear the same old story each
year when the down slips start
flying. "It takps time to adjust
ourselves to the hard courses" or
"We never had it so bard in high
school."
Once a year when high school
principals troop down to campus
to interview former pupils, they
hear the same old tale, "W h y
didn't you make me study?"
The facts are there. College pro
fessors today almost unanimously
bemoan the lack of basic culture
in our generation's students.
And our reply must be, "I ain't
cultured. 1 went to public high
school."

cameral race might be.
Would it include, for instance, a
rebirth of the idea that Nebraska's
tax system is as outdated as the
wooden plow? That was one of
McGinley's pets last sessin. . .
it was defeated.
Would it include legislation to
improve the state roads? Vould
it. . . well, we can only speculaU
at the present time.
But we would like to encourage
McGinley to come back and serve
the people of Nebraska to the best
of his ability.
Last week may have brought the
hay day for frisby (or frisbee
as you like it) but this week word
comes from our New York cor
respondent that Russian Roulette
has taken over the field of sport.
No. Don't panic.
This RR is played with "blank
guns" (a loud-exploding bulletiess
powder gun.)
Students at Columbia University
are making it known throughout
the nation and the RR club of
NYC has started making plans for
a national tournament.
Already RR is the craze of seven
campuses.
"RR can now be played by those
without suicidal tendencies," says
Hank Andrews, president of the
club bearing the same name. "But
harmless as it is, it's still noisy
and nerve-shattering. You're gam
bling your nerves instead of your
life and it takes guts to put the
exploding powder to your head."
Oh! Shown in the photo is Ear
bara Bryant, who has been elected
Queen of Russian Roulette. Hsre's
what she had to say, "Russian
Roulette is a chance for all of us
who like fun to get together. We
girls could fly to different col
leges on weekends and maybe
some male Russian Roulctters
would like to meet us in New York
City. How about it?"
Moves Afoot: To abolish all tele
vision programs dealing with sci
ence by using cartoons. The Amer
ican Telephone and Telegraph
Company produced first Our Mr.
Sun then Hemo the Magnificent
and just last week "The Strange
Case of the Cosmic Rays, seem
ingly, for use in the kindergartens
of the land.
Somehow they got on tv and
have made it seem that science
is all fun and games with puppets.
Let's aim our programs at the
people who buy products, tele
phones. And may this be a lesson to
KUON-TV which started night,
time broadcasting last evening.
