Editorial Comment-
A Bright New Year
The University of Nebraska begins 1959
with a promise of increased stature as the
now assured Kellogg Center continues its
growth from a dream to a $3 million plus
reality on the Agriculture College campus.
Numerous Nebraska citizens, including a
fair number of University students, have
secured the center for Nebraska by their
donations to the University of Nebraska
Foundation. The drive fell about $108,000
short of its goal but bonds will be issued
to make up the difference, and, in case
there are students who would still like to
contribute, the drive is being continued in
hopes that the bonds will not have to be
used.
The fact that Nebraskans have shown
such an enthusiastic willingness to sup
port the expansion of the University is en
couraging. It lends optimism to those who
hope that the Legislature will not make
unwise cuts in the proposed University
budget during this session of the Uni
cameral. The fact that Russia has appar
ently pushed a satellite into orbit around
the sun has made it increasingly certain
that for national defense purposes better
trained scientific personnel will have to
be graduated. At the same time, the United
States must continue to encourage the de
velopment of scholars and diplomats who
may win the Cold War by presenting ex
amples of the calibre of men a free so
ciety may produce. The University of Ne
braska must play an important role in
both areas of education.
Better education means more than better
financing, but certainly this is one of the
very first steps. The University faces the
New Year then with the hope that it will
be granted enough money to support a
comprehensive and competent educational
program.
A good educational program, of course,
infers that sincere, conscientious students
are doing their part to acquire the best
possible education while they are here.
What better time than the start of New
Year for a student to pause for a few mo
ments and reevaluate the progress he has
made, the progress he should have made,
and the achievements he fee-Is he should
attempt to accomplish in the future?
From the Slot
Shiver!
Vacations are fun. Oh yes!
And the most fun of all is hauling hay
when it is five below and the wind is gust
ing up to 25 miles an hour.
Actually, my brother and I never had to
do this, but only because
our cowardice prevailed
over my father's courage.
Not only that, but dad
couldn't persuade the
trucker to set foot out
side his door either.
So father settled for
having us shovel our
walks. This task actually
proved to be fun by con
trast to the originally con
templated job.
To tell the truth, though, this vacation,
like most others, was two weeks of uninter
rupted loafing, punctuated by vain parental
efforts to get us to do something besides
eat and sleep.
While all this furious activity was being
repeated in many homes across the state,
the University was busy consolidating its
acquisition of the Kellogg Center for Con
tinuing Education.
When the Regents authorized the issua
ance of bonds to the amount of $325,000,
supplementing private contributions, the
construction of the Center was assured.
Thus ended the biggest serialized news
thriller since the "Perils of Pauline." Re-

porters all over the state can now. return
to using their most desperate prose in the
never-ending war to get more miles of hard
surfaced roads for the state of Nebraska
and more specifically for their own coun
ties. The Center itself should go a long way
to boost the prestige of the University.
Only two other schools hare such centers
and both are much larger state supported
institutions in more populous states.
It is interesting to note that the nation's
only "pay as you go" state this one is
making a bonafide and increasingly suc
cessful effort to offer its citizens a first
rate education.
This doesn't mean that we haven't got
a long way to go. The hopeless aglom
meration of secondary and primary school
districts outstate and the mediocre salar
ies paid teachers both in the secondary
and primary schools and the University
itself indicate a lengthy row to hoe under
a hot sun.
But the Kellogg Center will be a fruitful
vine in Nebraska's educational weedpatch.
News Editor (by some Gerrymandering
of titles she is officially called Csnior Staff
Writer) Emmie Limpo has a broken and
sprained arm caused by a fall from a
speeding toboggan. This summer she
broke her little toe.
Noting this propensity towards self-destruction,
I hope that the next step isn't
a fractured skull.
Better give up those kid games, Em.
From the Editor
A Few Words of a Kind
e, e. hines
A stack of mail saluted me when I sta
tioned myself behind my desk, back from
a strange two weeks officially referred to
on the University calendar as Christmas
vacation. I carefully opened about 20 let
ters, tossing at least the same number
into the waste basket with
out bothering to investigate mm
their contents. The un- i
opened ones were from f Vf
nlaces that never seem to I
senu lnieresuiig ui uaciui
opened
messages. The ones that ! '
were opened also proved
disappointing and I began " ,
the last few weeks of the
semester's editorship with ;
the sad realization t h a t
nearly all of my mail has
been like that.
Most of the letters are simply addressed
to the "editor." Some carry the names of
editors, alas, long departed from this
gloomy room. The U.S. Treasury Dept. is
still sending Dick Fellman letters an
nouncing -the wonderful response Nebras
kans are making to their appeals to "Buy
Bonds," and the Reader's Digest paid 16
cents to send us some advance proofs of
stories in a package addressed to Mr. Dick
"Shugrove," Editor.
It seems that Playboy used to send a
free copy each month to the editor, but if
they are still doing this, Business Man
ager Jerry Sellentin has taken to pilfer
ing it from the mails ere I arrive. I fear
that I am also destined to leave my post
without receiving a warning note from the
Pi Xis telling me that a wise editor is
careful of what appears on the printed
page.
And we all remember the days when
it seemed that winter would never come.
People use the library. I don't mean just
during regular school grind time, but va
cation time as well. Stranded in the city
where a certain man's smDe fades every
time he thinks of the tune, "Happy Days
Are Here Again," I plodded into Love
Library expecting to confront only an oc
casional professor with a complexion tell
ing of a lifetime spent among stacks and
filing through rows of dusty books in used
book stores. But, lo and behold (and pro
fane words expressing disbelief), there
were live and sound of limb students there
too. " '
I counted 40 students one afternoon in
the downstairs study lounge as I leaned
against a table sipping noodle-free, chicken-free
chicken soup. There were far more
students sitting at tables on the second
and third floors, scribbling away.
What has got into some members of the
younger -generation?
Everyone seems to be bouncing happily
about now and asking, "Did you have a
good vacation?" and waiting to be asked
the same question so they can launch into
a graphic, swallow-by-svallow account of
their away for a while from school ad
ventures. A week from now everyone will
be complaining about papers that are due
and should have been written during va
cation, or impending hour exams and fi
nals. Time will restore normalcy.

tailed for another year of be
ing ground under by the
mounting pressure of the ap
proaching horror known as
"final period."
All spirits that were some
what lifted and refreshed by
other forms of spirits over
the mad and gay holiday are
now already in a gloom of
depression similar only to the
universal feeling that would
arise were we told that the
Bubonic Plague were immin
ent. The familiar greeting
upon seeing old frieds is "Did
you have a good vacation"
immediately followed by
"And do you realize that
finals are only two ' weeks
away" with the proper em
phasis on the proper place
which is "two weeks away."
It does seem like only yes
terday that I and two other
madcan. larkine students
went gamboling barefooted j
on the front law ot tne li
brary one night when the
thoughts of studying for im
pending finals the next day
were completely nauseous.
During this weather I can
recommend no such light
hearted release, but there are
other ways to fortify oneself
for the ordeal.
You might try a scientific
study such as going in cold
turkey and relying on your
memory alone; or you might
tranquilize yourself into a
state of oblivion. The possibili
ties are limited only by the
ingenuity of the student and
right now while there is still
a little hangover (of these
puns) from the joviality and
devil-may-care noise of New
Year's Eve, each student
may devise his own method
of beating the system.
