I've turned 21. And suddenly beer tastes have "reaped

heavily. .
I went to the corner of 10th and 0 St.,
raised my right hand and swore. The priv-
oi voung was mine.

privilege is the current
dominant problem. .
I have read the papers,
listened to radio and TV
and wondered at the
bally-hoo of this political
world.
I've discovered that to
listen closely to the
mouthings of the "Truth
Squad," the Republican
campaign caravan, and the "Fact Float,"
its Democratic counterpart, is to be enter
tained. To believe them is to be deluded.
How can you vote for men whose largest
campaign promises seem to be govern
ment subsidization of cattle breeding ex
periments? How can youvote for men whose domin
ate interest seems to be challenging the
governor to a public debate?
Following the campaign closely leaves
me with mixed emotionsanger and disu
luslonment. I'm angry that the politicans
really think they can pull the wool over
my eyes, disillusioned that campaigns
seem to be hinged on hand shaking, don
key petting and toeing that fine wire that
leaves no one angry.
The perplexity involved in choosing one
of two politicans can be illustrated by a
closer glance at the race for the House of
Representatives from the 2nd District. '
Glenn Cunningham I could never vote
for.' His endorsement by labor makes me
highly suspicious of the role he would play
in labor reform. His ideas on balancing
the budget of the government are so an
tiquated I was amazed to find them ad
vocated. But to vote for his opponent, Francis
Casey, would be equally appalling. As far
as I can discern, his biggest concerns
seem to be whether or not Cunningham
plans to run for Mayor of Omaha two
years from now and the abolishment of
the federal income tax on the grounds
that it is socialistic.
To follow the campaigns-of the two men
striving to capture the U.S. Senate seats
is even more amazing.
Take a look at some of the flags these
potential Senators are waving.
Roman Hruska. incumbent Republican,
seems to be concerned with protecting the
president A recent newspaper article
quoted him as lashing into the "little
squeezy fellows who bite at President Eis
enhower's heels with small snarling rasp
ing voices."
He seems to be equally concerned with
flaunting the Korean war. Harry Truman

The" screen lit up and the room echoed
with the sound of boxing fans echoing for
the kill.
"Why do people watch boxing?" my
companion asked.
'To satisfy their egos I
guess. You know, the
primitive drive to con
quer, to maim or de
stroy."
'H o w ' s t h a t ?" she
cross-examines.
"Well, it isn't anything
new. There was the same
thing in the Roman era
when watching Christians
being tossed to lions was
in vogue. The reasoa this
sport has lost its popularity is that, at
least in most parts of western civilization,
lions don't exist. Add to this the fact that
you can't find many Christians these days
who are willing to die for their faith."
"Maybe, you're right," she says.
"It's not important," I tell her, "let's
watch the rest of the fight."
Speaking of Christians, I managed to
discover a little gathering of them Sun
day morning at the 11 a.m. service at the
Presby House. Rex Knowles had several
pertinent comments along with a few side
bits to add savor to his sermon. I pass on
his comments about the word "intoxi
cate." It seems that back in the bow and
arrow days when people weren't neces
sarily any friendlier than they are now
just unable to as vividly show their dis
pleasures arrow points were dipped in
toxin, that, is poison, to increase their ef
fectiveness. When a person became intoxi-
. e. e. hines
cated, he had literally been wounded by a
poisoned arrow. He was, in simple un
ornate language, poisoned. Take it for
what you will, as Rex said.
.
Allow me to dwell upon my vLit to the
chapeL To one of my nature, who normal
ly finds the Sunday morning communion
of warm blankets and sheets more tempt
ing than the communion of saints, a ven
ture of this sort is an unusual experience.
We all enjoy talking about our unusual
experiences.
The occasion was Reformation Sunday.
Rex pointed out that this probably meant
that a goodly number of Protestants would
go away hating the Catholic Church. And
this he condemned. He attacked it be
cause he said that Christianity shouldn't
be dwelling on the petty differences be
tween sects. Christians should be empha
sizing instead their much greater like
nesses. The church also isn't just mortar
and brick. It is the place where Chris
tians dwell be this classroom, Crib or
chapel.
I walked away from the service very
pleased. So often those who boast of their
Christian heritage forget two of its most
important messages: tolerance and love.
A lot of people have changed their walk
ing to class routes. Instead of ambling
past the Student Union toward Teachers,
Burnett and Andrews, where they cross
the street in spite of mobs and red lights,
they now take the curving walk that winds
behind Administration Hall and by the
library. Right at the front edge of the li
brary is a spot almost over-grown with
trees and bushes. I and my fellow Words
worthians enjoy it. !
crop of 30,000 warm,
bloody, young American bodies in Korea."
Frank Morrison, on the contrary, is sup
posedly disturbed that Hruska won't con
duct his campaign on the high plane of is
sues rather than on "political tripe."
And just what are the Democratic hope
ful's issVes?
Well, he's concerned with "Bensonism,"
whatever that vague term may imply;
very fond of calling Hruska the "Captain
of the Brain Wash Team"; thinks that the
incumbent senator's habit of using the
public highway right-of-way for his cam
paign signs is "nothing but wrong."
How do you choose? Flip a coin?
Scholarship
The Oct. 20 edition of Newsweek car
ries a report dealing with the fraternity
system more or less versus scholarship.
The magazine lists the top ten national
fraternities scholarship wise. The list is a
little misleading since it leaves out those
groups founded since 1875.
The story does not mislead the reader in
one respect however. It is made perfectly
clear that the fraternity system as a whole
is making every effort to improve its
scholarship. Apparently, by mutual agree
ment, a concerted effort is being made to
end the stereotyped impression that fra
ternity membership is made up entirely of
wealthy playboys.
It's about time! Although the reasons
for the sudden concern with scholarship
might not be as purely intellectual as they
should be (it sounds almost as if it's be
coming the popular thing to be well-educated
and any house that wants to be the
"top house" must display the most intelli
gence) the end result should be a good
thing.
' And while the nationals . are making
their all out assault on the forces of anti
intellectualism, what are the locals the
chapters here at the University doing?
They are piously underwriting the na
tional program for, the most part. How
ever, at the same time, they are presently
engaged in a project that annually proves
to be one of the biggest destroyers of
house scholarship the construction of
huge homecoming displays requiring
hours of effort by actives and pledges
alike.
Sororities, also reportedly making the
big scholarship push, require their pledges
and actives to put in time stuffing crepe
paper, painting, or doing any of the num
erous time-consuming jobs connected with
a big display. However, they are, for the
most part, more reasonable about the size
of the display and the amount of work
needed to complete it.
When will people come to their senses?

For instance, numerous
copy pencils, typewriter rib

been stolen during the course
of the last three years.
Not only does this horrible
pilfering add expenses to the
annual budget alloted to the
Rag but this also lowers the
appropriations for other
worthwhile operations.

' TXT $ T:
Last spring under the influ
ence of June moon I wrote
romantic praises of the col
umns under a starlit sky.- Now
under the influence of noth
ing much I
want you all -
to know that
the columns
are more
beau tiful
than ever
d e f o r e.
They do in
deed look like
Ull grey can-
dies wrapped
in flames. Judy
For the callous soul who
scoffs me, I can only say that
beauty is "in the eye of the
beholder."
Why look, the Beta house is
even ready for fall red door,
red ivy and all.
Some unfeeling individual
even said that the ivy was
merely holding the house up.
But right now it has that sub
stantial, wealthy look.
Instead of staggering bleary
eyed to class in the morning
seeing nothln but faces and
big strained smiles that you
ought to say "Hello then,
how are you?" to; why don't
you find something a little out
of the ordinary on our cam
pus. There are things te look
for besides parking places.
Going through this Univer
sity is enough to provide an
extremely liberal education. I
refer to the rather crude sign
in the esteemed Crib which
advertises "Jayne Mam
field" sundaes. I wonder what
Mickey Haggerty would have
to say about this whole thing?
After all, the Crib is hardly
on a par with a bar where
the occasion would find hu
mor in this title. Somebody
really has a sparkling wit
Not everyone who was left
behind this past weekend was
buried in the Rag office. Some
of us were huddled in blank
ets trying to study in very
cold houses in huge silences.
To relieve the monotony of
each other we put rubber
snakes in unsuspecting per
son's beds. This is rather hu
morous at two o'clock in the
morning. Take heed, this is
what you too will come to at
this time next year if you
don't migrate. But from all
reports the migration was a
magnificent success and I
have heard about the Sink
parties, mountain parties, mo
tel parties, and I have only
one comment Complete jeal
ousy! Obviously Edward R. Mur
row had this column in mind
when he inaugurated bis new
program "Small World."
While he has such celebrities
as Aldous Husley, Lauren Ba
call, Nehru, and Malcom Mug
geridge on his program, I
deal with such earth-shattering
subjects as the ivy on the
pillars, snakes in bed, sug
gestive sundaes, motel par
ties and other questions de
manding immediate attention.
My "Little World" isn't so
little after all, is it?
