Editorial Comment-
Fall Revue
Anyone who doubted that the Kosmet
Hub Fall Revue would be worth the 90
cent tab got a pleasant answer last Fri
day when the 1958 version was presented
at Pershing Auditorium. The show fea
tured originality and high level humor
free of perpetual off-colorness.
Persons who believed that KK was dy
ing probably felt that their words were
pemature after seeing the show. The Ne
braskan would like to congratulate the
club as well as Theta Xi, Delta Upsiloii
and Beta Theta Pi, who presented skits.
The Phi Delts, Farmhouse and Acacia pre
sented entertaining curtain acts.
A show of such caliber definitely de
serves to continue. The only suggestion
that can be given is that next year the
club take more care in scheduling tryouts
for the revue. It is possible that most of
the fraternities which cancelled out of
tryouts did so because their shows held
little promise, but a few of them may have
done so because of the post migration,
post homecoming week in which tryouts
were held.
From the Slot

There is no other activity in which I
have participated that is more physically
demanding than University debate.
Once upon a time, when I was young
and agile, I tried playing high school foot
ball. In spite of the fact
that I was chronically un
able to produce an effec
tive sustained effort (due
to a tendency to assume
a prone position the min
ute the ball was snapped)
I did manage to get in a
good deal of playing time
(we were awfully short of
manpower).
Newadays, tow ever.
whenever a masochistic tendency ever
taket tne, I take a stab at debate.
This weekend, my colleague. Biff Keves
and I, hied ourselves to Wichita for a
cross-examination tournament there. Aft
er slogging through four rounds of tortur
ous talking on Friday, Keyes announced
that he would like to see the city.
I declined.
Biff left with Don Epp and Rennv Ashlr
nu te accomplish his purpose w hile I re
paired U the hotel dining room to grab a
bite te eat.
When I returned to the hotel room, my
formerly ebulent partner was there and
already fast asleep.
Wichita must not have had much to of
fer. At the last Faculty Senate Meeting,
Chancellor Hardin told University instruc
tors that salaries would be the biggest
problem of the coming biennial budget.
The chancellor's statements on salaries
by George Moyer
might be interpreted as an attempt to pre
pare the faculty for a compromise over
salary problems with the legislature.
With the addition of the Elgin property
and the completion of several new build
ings on the campus, the University ap
pears te have solved their space problems
for the time being.
The proposed Kellogg Center is nearing
reality and the new art gallery is in the
planning stage. The University is rapidly
striding towards a position as one of the
midwest's leading cultural and educational
centers.
New buildings still do not make a good
University, however.
The final test of whether a school is a
good one or not is in the calibre of its
teachers. This year ought to be the year
that the legislature makes sure that high
calibre instruction at the University is con
tinued and improved.
The problem is really twofold. The Uni
versity presently has many instructors
that are highly regarded, nationally and
internationally, in their fields. The legis
lature and the chancellor, when they work
out the budget, should be careful to insure
that these people are well enough compen
sated that they stay here.
Also, an effort should be made to at
tract top level personnel to the Univer
sity. Here again, the final decision lies
with the legislature.
Fine buildings do not a University make.
It's loosen up those pursestrings a little
boys.
Congratulations to the Theta Xi's on
their dual victory at the Kosmet Klub
show. And congratulations to Kosmet Klub
on a good show in spite of many troubles.

Americans as
Colin Jackson, the British writer who is
spending six weeks at the University of
Nebraska presenting twice weekly foreign
affairs shows on KUON-TV, last week
spoke out against the relations that exist
between American and
foreign students at the
University.
Colin emphasized that
the aloofness many Amer
ican students display in
their relations with for
eign students is educating
the foreigner to go away
hating Americans. He
stressed the need for the
foreign student to gain a
better understanding of
persons, which would entail more frequent
visits to our homes, and regular chats and
activities with the foreign student and the
Americans acting as friends instead of
strange creatures somehow tossed to
gether. There is no doubt that American-foreign
student relationships are vitally impor
tant It is somewhat more difficult for us.
who have been stuck out near the middle
of foreign relations now here, to realize the
significance of international goodwill. The
only time we see a non-American is when
we go to a movie and he's there on the
screen, when we meet him as an exchange
student, or when our parents are .well
heeled enough to give us that supposedly
all-enrichirg trip abroad.
We live in an isolated area where the
closest thing to a good neighbor policy
that we experienced was burying the
hatchet with a rival town 20 or 30 miles
nearby. So here we are suddenly told that
these persons who don't wear cords or
crew-necked sweaters are going to have a
more than casual importance in our future
lives. In a world gripped in cold w ar they
are potential enemies or friends. And, we
are warned by fellows like Colin, in many
cases they are moving closer and closer
to the enemy camp because of cr indif
ference. Americans should admit their short
comings in this area. I'm not sure that it's
not a very natural thing.
Even American
students find themselves divided into nu
merous smaller groups which are so de
manding and rigid in nature that it be
comes difficult to realize all the facets of a
person's life in another group. Greek
doesn't understand independent, jock
doesn't understand scholar, crib rat
doesn't understand poor boy from the
farm. etc. In short there are so many peo
ple that you can't possibly get to know
more than a few; there are so many de
mands on your time that you can't and
don't desire to take time out to greet ev ery
strange face American or foreign and
you end up becoming more and more iso
lated in your little group.
The foreign student is an individual. He
gets lost here. Too often, though, I contend
thai he feels no more lost than a good
number of American students. We are a
long way from the slap-happy, pockets
f illed with money souls we may appear as
m the, surface. I sympathize with the for
eign student, but no more than for the
American. I beLeve-that the foreign stu
dent should have closer ties with the
American student, but I feel that he as
well as the American must learn to com
promise. When the foreign student cares
for the attention of an American ear only
to fill it full of nationalism shouts for his
new born country, the foreign student
can't expect to keep attention for more
than 30 seconds. To a Midwestern Amer
ican, on the whole, this is damn boring
talk. Oh. we should be up in arms about
it. but we aren't And if this angers the
foreign fctudenl it will have to go on anger
ing him.
This attitude might be called calloused
difference. It isn't. It is more tlie simple
realization that we would get little more
attention in a foreign student's country,
than the foreign student gets here. And
that's not good, not good at all. I'll go
along that w e need closer ties with visitors
from across the seas, but the foreign stu
dent will have to realize that life in a
strange country will never be like life in
his own. He will grow lonesome for fa
miliar sounds, words and sights, but be
cause the American student or American
can't provide these it doesn't mean the
American is something to be condemned.

'been an exciting semester at
K-State and nas made tne oia
college grind kind of enjoy

bomb scares we believe
things have finally gone too
far.
"Whereas hanging effigies
takes the time of only those
students doing the hanging
and the persons who cut them
down, bomb scares worry
and lose time for many.
"These hoaxes are the
heieht of thoughtlessness and
I immaturity. The telephoned

in Eisenhower and Seaton

hours." ' j

"The arraignment of three
students in the Lawrence po
lice court Thursday morning
was ostensibly the first step
toward a trial.
' "But it is superfluous for
the Lawrence court to handle
the case at all, when the KU
administration has already
taken care of it so neatly,
i "The students have been
tried, found guilty, sentenced,
and punished, all before actu
al legal machinery could even
make a move. The adminis
trator was good enough to
perform all four duties.
"Here is a quote by the
dean of students concerning
the case:
" 'These ' students have
been guilty of implication in
one of the most widespread
instances of vandalism
against the state, city, coun
ty and private property we
have experienced.'
"That could not be clearer.
The dean has decided the stu
dents are guilty, and the Uni
versity has therefore pun
ished them. Yet the city of
Lawrence has yet to open its
trial against them. Notice
that the dean does not say
the three actually committed
the vandalism. He says they
are implicated. Should the
students be found not guilty,
the word 'implication' will be
the loophole justifying the
University's precipitate ac
tion.' "(Three T.NE's were sus
pended after building and
walks in Lawrence were cov
ered with TNE symbols.)"

lina "If Harold Stassen con
tinues to charge Vice Presi
dent Nixon with all sorts of
henious crimes against the
Republican Party, he may
well make Nixon the proba
ble Republican candidate in
1960, a thing that neither Mr.
Stassen nor most thinking
Americans want.
"Mr. Stassen. coming out
of political defeat and exile
into the national focus via his
accusations of Mr. Nixon, is
succeeeding in putting the
spotlight both upon him
self and Nixon. After the re
sounding Democratic victory
this fall. Mr. Nixon was sent
partially Into oblivion in fav
or of Nelson Rockefeller.
"It may well be that Mr.
Stassen does not like Mr.
Rockefeller but it is sure that
he thinks Rockefeller is a bet
ter choice than Nixon. If this
be the case, then the best
thing for Stassen to do is to
let Mr. , Nixon nurse his
wound., in peace and solitude,
and Mr. Nixon will fade into
oblivion as his wing of the
Republican Party did in the
election.
