P
The Dailv Nebroskon
Editorial Comment
Your Opinions, Please
One - thing that the Daily Nebraskan
would like to make clear is that it believes
that it has the privilege to exist on one of
the finest college campuses m the United
States. Most of the policies of the Univer
sity are highly respected by staff mem
bers of the Nebraskan, and we feel that as
good of an education is available here as
on any other campus if the student is
really concerned enough to work to
acquire it
It is possible that our policy toward the
Tribunal is detrimental to the University.
We hope not We do not believe so. Student
discipline is a matter of the most extreme
interest to us all. The Nebraskan feels
very simply that in times past there have
been cases of double Jeopardy as a result
of the Division of Student Affairs discipline
policy. We feel, however, that it is impos
sible to correct or prevent this unless all
of the facts are brought out into the open
for clear investigations. We regret that
closed sessions of the Tribunal and unan
nounced discipline results make it impos
sible to fairly evaluate this difficult prob
lem. This is why we are taking such a firm
stand against any closed hearings by the
Tribunal.
The Nebraskan feels it is voicing the
opinion of the majority. If we are in error,
we would appreciate hearing your opinion.
The Letterip column is always open to
jour views as long as they are stated in
good taste and have been signed by you.
One stipulation we feel we should enforce
is the requirement that your letters must
carry your name if you attack a specific
individual. Otherwise, initials or a pen
name will be used. The Nebraskan would
also like to hear from persons who feel we
are justified in our stand. Both backers
and dissenters are given the equal right
to have their opinions known.
We do not claim to be a group of pro
fessionals. We make mistakes. We do not
claim to be all knowing, but we do feel
that we are trying to be fair and honest.
There is not a member of the staff who
is not proud of being a Nebraska student.
We do not want to destroy any good in the
University. We do want to see the correc
tion of any policies which we feel are detri
mental to the best interests of the student
body. The paper, we feel, is not crusading
or attempting to raise rabble. It is merely
doing what any college newspaper in the
land would probably do if it were con
fronted by the same situation. We are re
porting the facts available to us, and then
using our editorial columns to evaluate
these facts. If we have been unjust in our
criticisms of the Tribunal and the Division
of Student Affairs, perhaps it is because
we do not have all of the facts.
Individual Staff Views
Bv Diana Maxwell
In that almost forgotten summer be
tween high school and college, I found my
self living in the heart of the East coas
At least once a day, I found myself in a
conversation that went like this:
"And you just got out of
high school?"'
Yes."
"Are you going on to
college?"
"Yes, I"m enrolling this
fall."
' How nice. Where?"
"Nebraska."
"Where?"
"Nebraska."
"Oh." Diana
It didn't take too many "Ohhhs uttered
in a pitch that lifted in the middle and
dropped en the edges to give me the dis
tinct imprrssioa that the Easterner has a
complete disdala for anything that exists
between westers New York and Eastern
California.
Things will definitely improve w ben I get
there, I told myself cheerily. "I'm going
to kick the next woman who says Oh' in
that tone," I told mother.
Scene change. Locale: U of N. Dialogue:
"Where are you from?"
emW
"M.V parents are in Maryland and I
graduated from high school in Texas."
' What brought you here?"
Lengthy explanation follows. Well, really.
First they said why in the world are yon
going, and now it's how cum you came.
Having lived in quite a few states. 1 tan
truthfully say that Nebraska is the first
place I have lived where the prevailing
attitude toward the state is one of defen
sive apology.
And it would certainly seem that this
very attitude among Nebraska people is
what makes persons in other states dismiss
Nebraska lightly. Texans have built a
world-wide reputation for their braggadi
rio. Well, I've met some darn good spin
ners of tales, and some excellent liars
since arriving in Lincoln, so I don't see
why we can't work up a perfectly good
store of Nebraska yarns.
So . . . next time it becomes necessary
to stress the merits of the Cornhusker
state, here is an item to beg?" the list with.
Over a space of 35 million years Nebraska
acquired the most complete geologic his
tory in the world, and is used as the type
section throughout the world.
Now what state can outdo a 35 million
year record?

Realizing that nothing is more boring
than a writer patting himself on the back
for what be believes is a just stand. I'll
return to my little world of ideas
allows nostalgia and a smile or two.
Arthur Schlesinger Jr.
has written a very inter
esting article, "The Crisis
of American Masculinity,"
which appears in the No
vember edition of Esquire.
He says, with more adept
ness than I, some of the
things I feel about the
manner in which man has
allowed woman to exploit
him. Aj the author com
ments, "Fleeing from the reality of femin
ity, the American man. while denying the
American woman juridical equality, trans
formed her into an ideal of remote and
transcendent purity with overriding au
thority over the family, the home, the
school and culture."
But Schlesinger goes beyond this com
plaint. He says that under the American
way of life, "Adjustment rather than
achievement becomes the social ideal. Men
no longer fulfill an inner sense of what they
rcust be; indeed, with the cult of the
group, that inner sense itself begins to
evaporate. Identity consists., not of self
realization, but of smooth absorption into
the group. Nor is this just a matter of
passive acquiescence. The group is ag
gressive, imperialistic, even vengeful,
forever developing new weapons with
which to overwhelm and crush the recalcit
rant individual."
He adds that: "One of the most sinister
of present-day doctrines is that of together
ness. The recovery of identity means, first
of all, a new belief in apartness." To over
come the loss of identity, he recommends
three techniques of liberation: "satire,
art. and politics."
On satire, he says that this means
' nothing is sacred that there is no per
son or institution or idea which cannot but
benefit from the exposure ol comedy . .
as Montaigne succinctly summed up the
democratic faith: "Sit he on ever so high
a throne, a man still sits on his own bot
tom'." I'll skip over his comments on art and
politics to get to his conclusion: "It we
want to have men again in our theatres
and our films and our novels not to apeak
of in our classrooms, our business offices
and our homes we must first have a so
ciety which encourages each of its mem
bers to have a distinct identity."
So go a few of the comments. You might
look over the article for yourself as well
as another article in the same issue by Ben
Hecht
And then in your reading you are always
running across interesting little facts that
will never help you' pass any course.
Service magazine, a publication of Cities
Service, reports: "Picture a shopping list
for a family of 15 million. Figure the fam
ily consumes 41 million quarts of milk a
day and 3 million loaves of bread, plus
about a million chickens, 200 carloads of
fresh meat, and 5,000 tons of fresh fruits
and vegetables every 24 hours. That's what
it takes to feed metropolitan New York
City."

Kidnaping Disrupts
Geology Field Trip
KU Carnival Time Dangerous
To Coffee-ins Cornhiikers
By Emmie Limpo
Field trips can be dan
gerous. At least that's the opinion
of the Geology 227 class
who returned from a trip
last weekend.
On the return trip, the
group stopped at Kansas
University's Student Union
about 6:30 p.m. Saturday for
a cup of coflee.
Carnival Time
" At this time, the KIT Car
nival, which resembles the
University's former Penny

Lifting material from other
college publications is evi
dently a country-wide pas
time of college newspaper
staffs. The Arizona Wildcat
published this:
"Through an intricate sys
tem of semi-plagerism. the
following poem comes from
The Bulletin of the Teachers
fcollege, Emporia, Kan. They
in turn, lifted it from the
Friends. University Life.
'i love the paper,
I think it's swell.
On Friday mornings.
I run pell mell
To get my copy
And read each line.
The stories and columns,
I think are fine.
I laugh at the jokes,
I read all the ads
I take up all the fads.
When I praise the paper,
I scorn those who laugh.
I"m really most loyal.
I'm one of the staff."
Carnival, was going strong.
As the students and their
teacher, Thompson Stout,
sat in the coffee shop, a
how ling bunch of Indians de
scended upon them.
The Indians were tfie Sig
ma Kappas, whose booth
was entitled "Stake Fry."
They did a pow-wow dance,
to the amazement of the
Nebraska visitors, and then
suddenly grabbed Ken Bow
ers of the University.
Tied to Stake
Back at the Sigma Kappa
booth. Bowers was tied to
the stake, while the g i r 1 s
tried to sell him to passer
bys. If that w asn't had enough,
the Sigma Kappa raiding
party returned to the coffee
shop once more and kid
napped Professor Stout.
Finally the University 'of
Nebraska g r n p rescued
their captured members
and were able U continue
their trip home.
However, the group main
tains that after this experi
ence they'll be more care
ful w here they stop for cof
fee on field trips.

of democracy and civiliza
tion." "How can they be friendly
and be nice to the people of
other nations," asked another
foreign student, "when they
cannot maintain the same at
mosphere with their own cit-
! Izens?"
One student pointed out a
recent incident when two
Philippines high school prin
cipals were refused to enter
into the American Legion
naire Club in Lincoln.
He said, "What more do
you w ant when you have such
discriminations even in Lin
coln which is supposed to be
the most friendly city."
"What I can't understand
is," he added, "their color
prejudice even with we ex
change students."
A good number of the for
eign students thought that the
Americans can never begin
to like the colored people.
They felt America does not
practice the democracy it
preaches.
Most of the students how
ever, did not have much to
comment, other than to sav
situation is terrible. All
The recent intergration in
American high schools has
reached the highlights of the
news around the world so
much so that the foreign stu
dents in the United States
have an obligation to enlight
en their folks and friends on
the authenticity of the prob
lems the children of the
colored citizens in the United
States are facing.
It is difficult to recall any
period American history has
faced such a virulent critic
ism from various sources.
This problem of intergration.
in reality, might not be so
serious as it is being magni
fied. But, it can have a great
effect on America's foreign
policy and be an excellent tool
It seems to me, a speedy

not tolerate the indifferent
treatment just because the
