Friday, February 28, 1958 Rain Dumps Cold Water On Optimists By DRY DROP Staff Splasher Rain, rain, rain . . . dis mal, drenching, drizzling rain . . . the woe of these soggy, soggy days. A strange phenomena has occurred on campus. The happy-go-lucky students af flicted with spring fever a few days ago have been drastically transformed into strangely depressed and rain-soaked mortals. Defensively dressed to ward off the spite of nature, bedraggled coeds and col lege men sloch into their classes late, lamenting ruined shoes and stringy locks. A few of the more coura geous students on campus were overheard ex-changing complaints in the drier ref uge of the Crib yeslerday. Judy Truell, the smallest and wettest coed, com plained bitterly. "It's spoiled my social life." In agreement with her, a small voice whimpered, "My boyfriend's raincoat smells, and I bought it for him." Tom Fulkerson, the Uni versity's healthiest male, declared, "This weather gives me a cold in the nose." The Daily Nebraskan's splashingest copy editor, Emmie Limpo, offered. "All those who dislike going to class in the rain, meet at the same time, same place, Sunday!" Ron (June) Smith, well known puddle-jumper and campus optimist, said "I like rain. Everyone is so misty-eyed." Looking plaintively down ward, Sherm Neffsky had only this to say, "My ROTC shoes squish." Well, such is Jile on the University (we beat KU) campus this week, at least -acrordlng to E. L. and B. C, staff authorities.

Writing in a recent issue of Gavel, national speech jour nal, he staled that he lament ed the action of many schools to place emphasis on achiev ing a winning record. One danger of this, he explained, is that the same two or four faces represent a school week after week. Olson, who has coached more than 225 students since 1950, considers forensic activi ties "a laboratory to chal lege better students regard less of their college." Debate itself is not as important as its by-products, he maintains. These by-products include learning good analysis and or ganization, how to conduct re search, evaluate evidence, think on one's feet and speak effectively. Believing in emphasis on quality ratings, Olson has pro duced good results. Not only have University debaters re ceived top quality ratings but they've won about 70 per cent of their contests. This year the 19-meinber team has received the best r;itin7s In live of 11 tnurna- monts and second best in two others.
