Nice Work But...
Poqe 2
Terry Carpenter will introduce into the
1959 Unicameral a bill that would allow
the University to purchase or rent the
state's four locally supported junior col
leges. Th final verdict on the real worth of
Carpenter's bill will, of course, have to wait
until its full context is made public.
But the face af it, Carpenter may
have a pretty good idea.
Several other states, among them Cali
fornia and Wisconsin, give their state uni
versities at least partial control over jun
ior colleges and the plan works out pretty
weO.
We think it would be advantageous to
Nebraskans for these reasons.
1. The coarse in the junior colleges, as
well as grading systems, could be stan
dardised along University lines. This
would facilitate transfers from the junior
colleges and give the state a more inte
grated educational system.
1 The standardized junior college cur
rkulums might drain off some of the sur
plus freshman students. High school gradu
ates without any clear idea of what they
intend to do about their higher educations
could taka two years at the smaller jun
ior colleges close to home and get their
feet on the ground. This would avoid the
tragedy, common to many freshmen, of
being forced into an educational atmos
phere for which they are not ready in a
field of study which holds no interest for
them.
3. The local school districts would be
freed of the increasingly burdensome task
of maintaining junior college instruction
at a high level of competence.
4. The bill would remove the legal re
strictions against holding off campus Uni
versity classes, thus returning to the Uni
versity extension service one of its im
portant functions.
But . . . there is just one catch to Mr.
Carpenter's neat little proposal. Money for
the junior colleges would have to come
from state property tax funds.
This would call for an additional ap
propriation for the University. Already the
Unicameral is making noises like it will
be unwilling to grant Chancellor Hardin
the full amount which he claims is neves
sary to operate the University for the next
biennium.
And so Terry, where are you going to
get the geetas?
Individual Staff Vieivs,

Hi

At this stage of the game, the "views"
of the staff are pretty much the same.
Everyone is viewing everything from a
posture that is an erotic fixture of absolute
terror and total stupification. This happens
very year as finals are no
longer a far off threat, but
an imminent danger, and
all but the methodical few
have reached that point
where there is such a stag
gering list of assignments
to be accomplished by a
week from fTiday that it

can't possibly all be completed.

This fever having caught me in its icy
grip, during vacation I set out from my
parent's home in Maryland for the NU
campus a 45 minute drive in the rain.
Chalk up a point for Nebraska. Our cam
pus wouldn't hold a candle to the lavish
Maryland layout as to beauty, but at least
during vacations, somebody works around
here. The University library, goal of my
venture, was locked tighter than a pro
fessor's office the day after the final ex
ams have been mimeographed.
The only building on campus besides
the Administration that showed any signs
of life i.e. cars parked outside, was the
Student Union, equipped with a huge room
designed for either study or card playing.
We discovered after brashly penetrating
this far into the Maryland playplace that
this building too was closed, and had been
opened only to let an electrician in.
After two hours of study here, we could
stand the cold no longer, and decided to
seek food and a warmer study hole. Well,
we surmised, all towns have libraries.
Finding our way to the county seat of
the Montgomery County, we drove around
hoping to find this place by ourselves, but
to no avail. We pulled into a gas station
and asked if this town had a library.
"I don't know. I'll check." he said as he
blushed a rather deep shade of pink.
And then there was the woman, a friend
of my parents, who had stopped traffic in
Washington, D.C. by driving down into a
streetcar tunnel. There she sat, with a
car or two that had followed her in. It
was only when the tunnel narrowed to a
width only ample enough for a streetcar
to pass that she realized her blunder.
About a half hour later, a highly irate
D.C. cop discovered the cause of what
must have been one of Washington's best
traffic jams in history. By this time the
woman was in a state of -near hysteria.
When the policeman asked her what her
name was she momentarily drew a blank,
then answered "Smith."
This of course went over well. Then he
demanded that she back her car out of
the tunnel. She didn't know how that's
why she sat there in the first place.
She was asked not to drive in D.C. too
often.

e.e.
Oh, if s good to be back! I feel at home.
Back into tb old groove.
I thought this long vacation would throw
me off. Days went by without anyone
around to sneer at Sleeping late in the
morning was not a crime.
Instructors weren't re
minding me of over-due
work.
Back in my high school
days I used to start New
years by reading Dale
Carnegie books and ar
ticles on bow to acquire
-popularity puis" (I was
never sure of what the
phis referred to. Maybe
money.). It was part ot f
my great drive to learn to love nice
people who lived in Bice homes, read nice
books, said nice things about everybody,
kept their rooms and clothes nice and
clean. I even gave thought to trying to
develop into a nice guy.
Well, the cold rains of time soaked this
desire out of me. That is, until I stayed
inside a few days during vacation and
started thinking about an of the things I
had told people I shouldn't have told them,
or aid of the things I had or hadn't done
m the past year. Maybe I should try in
this new year to resume efforts to de
velop a new me.
Monday, I attended all my classes,
worked hard at the paper and tried to be
good to people. But then, after a ham
burger basket dinner, I realized I was all
tight inside. I saw a friend and said some
thing sarcastic to him. A bit of my ten
sion slipped away. Each revival of my
old self made me more relaxed, more se
cure, and made me feel like less of a
hypocrite. And Tuesday I knew the old me
was back in good style. I woke up and
stared at a clock which informed me
three-fourths of my 8 o'clock class was
already finished. The morning class I
did make it to, found me hovering near
sleep. Then an afternoon class saw me
finishing one part of a three-part test.
It's good to be back rto the old groove.
Why does every girl alive, whether she
is 50 pounds under or 50 pounds over
weight, insist that she has to go on a
diet? When I was lunching with a certain
little girl recently she informed me that
she couldn't have cheese cake because it
"has too many calories."
"You could use a few more calories,"
I observed.
"Are you kidding?" she asked. "None
of my clothes fit me now."
' So what? You can alter them. And
think what good 10 pounds would do your
figure?"
But all I got was strongly asserted
"no's". Women are very hard to under
stand. I have never known an under
weight male, including myself, who
wouldn't like to gain a few pounds. If
eating cheese cake were the answer, I'd
be doing it day and night.
