Growing Up
Despite a half hour of rather frantic searching for five
or six articles misplaced at the printers Wednesday, the final
issue of the Summer Nebraskan appeared with a relative
degree of smoothness. The paper this summer was an ex
periment in joining class training with practical experience.
For the first time at the University, a class was used to
supply reporters. Seven beginning reporting students devoted
one lab period a week to gathering and writing articles for
the paper. This meant that for essentially the first time
the editor was left free for editing and did not function as
the No. 1 (and often only) reporter for the publication.
This gave the students a rare opportunity to put into
practice the theories they received in lectures. Seeing one's
classwork in print proves a fairly powerful stimulus to get
the story and get it right. Thus, the class gained from this
attempt to link the school paper with the classnom, and
the University community gained by receiving a paper
which was not a one-man operation.
Editorial policy has been strictly left' alone by faculty
and administrative personnel. No censorship of any sort has
been exercised on the student staff.
With these two points in mind that using a class enables
more news to appear in the Summer Nebraskan, and the fact
that policy decisions are in the hands of the students running
the paper it would appear that the next logical step would
be expansion of the publication to a size that could cany a
larger share of campus news. A 4-page tabloid paper appear-1
ing once a week cannot possibly deliver a fair share of news
in a community of over 3,000 persons.
During regular sessions, the campus newspaper is
largely financed through student fees, with a small portion
of every student tuition going toward publication expenses.
This is not true of the summer paper. The salaries of the
editor and business manager are paid by Summer Sessions,
but all printing expenses are covered by advertising.
Plans are being mulled over now in an effort to find a
way to finance a newspaper operation that will more fairly
reflect the size of the summer community at the University.
And although this year's staff will not be connected with
next year's operation, it is our sincere hope that a means
will be found of making the Summer Nebraskan a larger or
more frequently pearing newspaper.

society that
is no more
than a jellied

speaker this
time was
Crawford H.
Greenewalt, president of Du
Pont Co.
The sentiment was ex
pressed a bit differently from
the time before, and it will be
said again, but in my opinion,
this is a subject that needs a
great deal of discussion. And
the sad part of it is that here,
at the University, where radi
cals and nonconformists are
expected to hang out, con
formity reaches its most sick
ening dimensions.
Each fall it manifests itself
in girls who valiantly puff
away with short, jerky self
conscious movements, deter
mined to learn to like the lit
tle white sticks. They do, and
a year later another group of
neophytes enrolls, they will
ape their sophisticated older
sisters and they too will
dawdle for an hour or two over
a coke while they learn the

And more subtly, the
thought patterns will be
shaped, pounded into the ac

are chic, others do not rank
socially. Certain groups may

you understand, it's not quite
the thing, you know.
Certainly not to be excluded
from the brainwashing are the
young men who will don the
uniform baggy trousers that
must have a belt in back,
walk with a slight slouch, and
for gosh sakes, whatever you
do, don't go around carrying
more than one book at a time,
people will think you're weird.
Inside the classrooms con
formity is much too often the
rule. It doesn't take long to
peg the instructor. Woe to the
freshman who dares to write,
a theme in which his ideas
conflict with the man behind
the diadem.
"New ideas are disturbing
to minds that prefer the me

occasion was again a series
of talks at Columbia Univer
sity. The application, how
ever, is here, in this tight
little community bounded by
10th St, the tracks and the
city.
Other boundaries, eti ap
parent to the eye, are present
as well. They are the bound
aries set up by all of us who
are so quick to condemn or
ridicule the different, the in
dividual. Viva la nonconformist!
I Good For Grins
A fetching young lady from
New York was tripping down
a street in Bogota, Colombia,
minding her own business
when a star-struck "bogota
no" picked up her trail. He
followed her for a block or
two, breathing gentle compli
ments.. She became angrier
each moment, and at the end
of the third block flounced
over to a traffic policeman.
"That man on the corner has
been following me!" she an
nounced indignantly.
The cop looked at the man,
then surveyed the seething
young lady. He took off his
cap and bowed. "Senorita, if
I were not on duty, I would
follow you, too."
