Editorial Comment
Courage and Action
Take courage and act. This is about the
only advice that will do the University's
sororities and fraternities any good. The
latest blow to their egos and statures is
the resolution by the Nebraska Association
of School Administrtaors which attacks
summer rushing programs and "first year
social demands" as contributing to stu
dents neglecting studies.
The Daily Nebraskan thinks that to a
degree the administrators are slightly off
base by making their resolution without
qualifications. Fraternity and sorority
freshmen aren't the only ones who don't
last out their first years, or who find
college demands such that their perform
ances don't earn Phi Beta Kappa grades.
The Interfraternity Council is and has
been studying the scholarship problem. It
appears that whether or not the current
resolution on scholarship before the IFC is
accepted, that the fraternities honestly are
striving to improve scholarship. Sororities
certainly cannot and should not be con
demned for poor scholarship. Their aver
ages always fare well in comparison with
the all-girls average.
Summer rushing is not a sorority prob
blem. It is a fraternity problem and partly
because of the very fact that school ad
ministrators do little or nothing to encour
age the presentation of an honest picture
of the worthwhile role which a sound fra
ternity system can play in a student's life.
It appears that the major reason why
fraternities and sororities are so often at
tacked is because they are organized bod
ies with a name. After all, could admin
istrators walk up to University officials
and say, "Some dorm students drink and
don't make grades. Some dorm students
come back home during the summer and
have parties. Some dorm students encour
age others to forget studies and go to a
dance, a movie, or out for a beer?" This
goes on without a doubt, but isn't criti
cized because there is no solid organiza
tion. The Nebraskan suggests that before
everyone gets excited that the admini
strators remove their rose colored glasses
and see what the real world looks like.
Too many people are using the Greeks as
scapegoats.
Individual Staff Views
By Diana Maxwell
x7 ; 1
It was a vital decision, but I finally
made it. It's taken almost two and a half
years to finally make the definite choice,
but now it is irrevocable. This lingering
autumn was the vital factor.
When my fortune is made, instead of
leaving money to the University to go into
a Maxwell Aquarium, or
a Maxwell Hall or a Max
well reading nook and
music room. I'm going to
leave my money for some
elms, a few hedges, some
winding walks, maybe a
fountain or two, several
white birches (if they'll
grow), dozens of rose
bushes, at least 25 oaks,
30 maples and perhaps a
hundred or so evergreens.
And to make it even more fun, I think
that I will simply suggest that these addi
tions be made, without making any iron
clad stipulations on where to put them or
In what arrangement. Just imagine the
delight in Buildings and Grounds 30 years
hence when this huge amount of money
lands on the head gardner's desk with just
a memo to put those ideas he has been
mulling over into effect.
Perhaps I'll put a P.S. on the memo,
Just suggesting that he take another look
at the back of Love Library and make at
least one "sitting under a tree" visit over
near Ferguson and the old Ad building.
And perhaps he could take along a few
acorns to lure some of the squirrels to the
Diana
new landscaped area, wherever it may
be.
On the other hand, a simple memo may
not do, because it would take longer than
that to explain the pond that is to be dug
in what in our time is two parking lots
severed by a stretch of brand new grass.
This pond will be in two sections as well
but whatever happens, don't make them
symmetrical we already have too many
of these squared off buildings.
And so that students won't get their
feet wet or be late dashing from Soc to
Andrews (both of which by now should
be completely renovated) let's have some
kind of bridge Not the plain, functional
sort, but a bridge with personality of the
type that would entice students to linger
along the railing. Perhaps to give the Uni
versity the cosmopolitan air, it could be a
Japanese bridge, or perhaps to introduce
a bit of Americana, it could be uesigned
to resemble the old log bridges.
Then, too, a memo might not be ade
quate to suggest that some stone benches,
or at least a few rustic wooden ones, be
placed along the edges to give our kids
a place to just sit down and look in the
spring, fall and summer, and a spot to put
on their ice skates in the winter.
Yup, this might be a bit more than a
memo could handle, but between now and
then I will figure out exactly how it should
be phrased to give the number one build
ing and grounder a chance to express
some of his own ideas without submerging
my 30-year plan.
From the Editor
A Few Words of a Kind
e. e, hines
Window shopping must be back in fash
ion now that the festive gift season ap
proaches. To many this is more fun than
the famed barrel full of monkeys. But
many fail to retain their joy when they
return home with a pair
of aching feet. For these
poor souls I recommend a
new and perhaps more
enjoyable way to shop:
read ads in magazines.
Scanning of a current
popular magazine re
vealed the following items
for snl;
"Give 'em the whip! e.e.
Show him who's boss! Give them
a real whip! Braided leather with sturdy
wooden handle and a long snapper. It's
6 feet long! With practice, he can snap
the ash off mother-in-law's cigarette . . ."
Just what I wanted.
"Fun filled toilet tissue will dress up
any john. Great for gag gifts! A silly say
ing is printed on each sheet with non
irritating ink . . ." What's more practical?
"Spook hand gets laughs. A sensational
new gag! realistic skin colored Spook
Hand has red fingernails, bony knuckles.
Picture this fantastically real fake hand
poking out from your auto trunk, 'opening'
a door, or clasping your shoulder . . ."
Just the thing to replace painting the side
walks. "Rah, team, rah, $1.50 set. College
students and teenagers will love them and
you'll want a set for den or rumpus room.
8 pennants in full color plus No Parking,
Enlist Now, and Bird Watcher's Award
. . ." For those lacking school spirit.
..."The 'natural gift for teacher. New!
Automatic pencil for chalk. Encourage
teacher's efforts with this practical token
of your appreciation: Hand Bienic, the
automatic pencil that holds any school
chalk. Ends forever messy chalk dust on
hands and clothes . . . prevents finger
nails scratching on board, screeching or
crumbling chalk, chalk allergy. Make
chalk writing or drawing a smooth pleas
ure . . . " Anything to help our teachers.
"Now Johnny can learn to multiply!
Your child can memorize his Multiplica
tion Tables in a hurry and have fun do
ing it with the new Musical Multiplication
Records. There is a catchy song and a
musical quiz for each Table . . ." An ans
wer to Rock V Roll.
"New mood pillowcases fun gift of the
year. Fine muslin pillowcase is embellished
with a 'Yes' design in passionate pink on
one side and a 'No' design in virtuous blue
on the other! . . . Unique pillowcase is
guaranteed to add mirth and mischief to
any boudoir . . ." It may change our so
cial habits.
"Here's a new way to put yourself or
someone you love in a festive mood! Two
pairs of dainty 55 denier non-run tricot
acetate ladies' panties that bear holiday
greetings. 'Merry Christmas' is embroid
ered in red on the white pair and 'Happy
New Year' in white on the black pair . . ."
What better way to exchange greetings.
Could replace Christmas cards.
"A house for ants? An ant house for
children? Yes, and mother and father have
fun, too, watching the ants after they go
underground, as well as above ground. See
a busy army of worker ants . . . digging
. . . build rooms . . . carrying their loads
to the top of the hill. Watch the feeder ants
storing away supplies for the rest of the
colony, the nursemaid ants caring for the
ant babies; an education in work and pa
tience, as an ant's entire world is revealed
to you through the clear plastic walls of
this fascinating house. Actually a 'living
TV screen!' . . . And so much cheaper!
What a world of wonderful, educational,
useful, health assuring gifts await behind
the covers of a magazine! Why walk to
shop?

Imbibing ISC Coeds
May Face Suspension
Administration officials at
Iowa State have been urged
by the ISC equivalent of
AWS that women students
caught possessing or drinking
lquir in their resident or leav
ing the dorm overnight be
suspended.
The recommendation fol
lowed a case earlier this
year in which three women
students were caught drink
in? in their dormitory room.
The coeds were placed on
conduct probation by tne ut
fice of Student Affairs.
The recommendation reads:
"Any student found bringing
liquor into the residences,
drinking in the rooms and
spending the night out would
face temporary exclusion fol
lowing a fair hearing before
the Student Governing Com
mittee. a
The Tulsa Collegian
printed the following article:
"We've heard of a lot of
arbitrary methods used by in
structors, but a recent inno
vation of a TCU professor
must set some sort of rec
ord. He charges fines for stu
dents who are tafdy.
5c For Lateness
Dr. Kenneth Herrick. pro
fessor of insurance, charges
each student late for his 8
a.m. class five cents for each
time tardy. Purpose, he says,
is to induce students to be on
time.
Herrick himself pockets the
fines collected. He sometimes
collects as much as 50 to 75
cents a class.
What happens if the fines
are not naid? A low grade,
says the TCU student newspaper.

We realize that professors

A Tulsa College columnist
offers an interesting comment
on cheating.
Ten out of 14 students polled
in a freshmen orientation ses
sion thought cheating was all
right, he commented.
"Cheating cannot be une
quivocally branded bad and
cheaters looked upon as hav
ing no moral values . . .
Whether to cheat or not is a
question the individual stu
dent must decide. And the
answer to the question hinges
upon the reason he is attend
ing college," he wrote.
Why They Attend
The Tulsa writer then goes
on to classify those who at
tend college according to why
they attend. His categories:
Those who seek an educa
tion to learn to live; those
who seek to broaden their in
tellect; those who come to
absorb the knowledge of
the ages; then there are those
who come for the prestige of
having a diploma; those who
attend for extra-curricular ac
tivities; those whose parents
urge them to come; those who
come to make more money
after college and those who
come to remain a part of the
younger set.
For the latter group, he
says, cheating is not neces
sarily bad, but a means to
an end.
"Cheating is bad for those
whose moral values say it is.
But that doesn't make it bad
for everyone," he concludes.
Sidney Snowed, member of
Flu Doo Fraternity, grasped
his pheasant-painted tie with
trembling hands and, after a
shaky start, managed to twist
it into a Qua
si - triplet
f o r e in
hand.
It w a s a I

wed had found the "right
girl" he kept trying to con
vince himself during the last
few days as he paid $88.69 for
a multi-jeweled sweetheart
pin, and other monies for the
numerous goodies which ac
company this ceremony of
true romance.
Her name was Fifi LaTool
and she was a member of that
celebrated campus sorority,
Mayta Mayta.
Despite the fact that Sidney
had sweated through six
white shirts and finally put a
reconverted hot pad on to ab
sorb the moisture, he had con
vinced himself that he was
not nervous.
Meanwhile back at the May
ta Mayta house, our friend
Fifi was madly waddling
about the second, third, and
fourth floors, trying on every
body's size 18 cocktail dress.
After 15 minutes of silent
prayer and the help of eight
pledges, Fifi had wiggled into
her unmentionable and was
all set for the beautification
treatment.
Grabbing her basket of cos
metics (it was really a Scotch
plaid party bucket) she scur
ried into the bathroom
to commence the "back-to-beauty"
program. Three
hours and 45 minutes later
she emerged, an example of
"what chemistry can do for
you."
Fifi had been pinned eight
times this year (she was out
for the IFC Sweepstakes
award) but this time she, like
friend Snowed, was certain
"this was it." Anyway she
was hungry and her steak
dinner-in-celebration would
be most welcome this eve
ning.
She stumbled down the
stairs wearing her seven-inch
heeli (Sidney was three feet
taller than she was) and non
chalantly sat down at t h
table knocking a pitcher of
prune juice into the house
mother's lap.
At last the time came for
the girls to pass the candled
cake (no one passed it any
more this year; it automati
cally went to Fifi). Momen
tarily seized with a fit of ner
vousness, Fifi burped, but, by
the grace of the Goddess of
Pinning, this was enough to
extinguish the candle and
glad shrieks of joy were once
more heard in the pit of May
ta Mayta.
Meanwhile Sidney had risen
from his chair in the dining
quarters of Flu Doo and was
reading the poem he had com
posed about his glorious pin
ning. He then gave his bag of
gum drops to the housemoth
er and passed his box of splintered-tipped
cigars to the
brothers who sftod around
singing patriotic songs.
At 7 p.m. the hord of frat
ers commenced the big move
to Mayta Mayta where 68
carefully pruned females anx
iously awaited.
The stairs of the sorority
house were lined with the sis
ters, each clutching in h e r
sweaty palm a lily-white can
dle which was dripping hot
wax on the new rug.
As soon as everyone had
been pushed through the door
(158 people were now huddled
together in the Mayta Mayta
hallway in a scene which re
sembled the first Berlin air
raid) strains of the Mayta
Mayta "Love Call" began to
echo through the building.
Sidney blushed because ha
was embarrassed and Fifi
blushed because her unmen
tionable was too tight.
Then they embraced tender
ly as scattered giggles be
gan. Then Sidney, with 128
pounds of Mayta Mayta by
his side, and Fifi with the
golden crest of Flu Doo mold
ed to her rib, galloped out the
door to the blissful worl d
which awaited them.
Sigh!
