Editorial Comment-
Soup Plan on Trial
So far Registrar" Floyd Hoover has had
reason to grin and pat himself on the
back. His new registration plan has cut
down, on the card pulling bulge that was
frequently found under the old hours ac
cumulated plan.. Dr. Hoover would have
us believe that yesterday (Tuesday) was
the test day for his new plan. We dis
agree. Test time is today when juniors
and seniors who had the misfortune to be
born to back of the line parents will dis
cover whether or not that carefully
planned schedule of theirs will survive
the onslaught of Monday and Tuesday's
card pullers.
If only a very few juniors and seniors
are hurt by this program while others find
that it speeds up their registration period,
It should be heartily endorsed by the Stu
dent Council. However, if this final day
proves a day df closed sections and alter
nate courses or instructors, the students
involved should make certain they seek
out a Council member to inform of their
plight and ill fortune.
If a good number1 of people from S to Z
"find they get little more than scraps, the
other lucky ones who got there first had
better remember that the idea is to ro
tate the plan next year, in other words,
they may do final day registering and
slurp' up the warmed over soup.
The Daily Nebraskan still contends that
being an upperclassman ought to mean
something, that it ought to entitle a person
to a better than 50-50 break at getting the
section or instructor he desires. The stu
dents who lose out under this new plan
will have to be the ones to complain. But
the Daily Nebraskan isn't going to say
another unkind word about the plan until
students give us this final day word. If
they like it, we'll like it.
Good Question
A lot of our friends around campus
have- asked us recently who the young
lady was who appeared so fetchingly tied
up in ribbons on the front page of our
Christmas edition.
She was Kay Uehling, an Alpha Phi
sophomore from Oakland. The photo was
by Dick Gustavson who has also done
drawings for the Homecoming edition,
photos for some of our advertisers, and
a few editorial cartoons.
Individual Staff Views
The fall issue of "Scrip" is at the Union
Newsstand. This is one of the few 25 cent
quarter investments available in the city.
For those who like to read, its 40 pages
are tightly packed with b'ack type; for
those who like to nave noteworthy literary
copies decorating their nightstands, it is
an attractive ornament. For those who
like to comprehend, with pencil in hand,
and who are interested In the campus
community, it is a challenge and a record.
Although I have not had time to read the
contents of the magazine as carefully as I
should to even attempt to comment, I'm
going to go out on my familiar limb and
say that I see two trends in the publica
tion: beat-ishness and awareness.
I say beat-Lsh rather than beatnick. a
more familiar term, because the magazine
seems invisibly bound and inked with the
ideas and atmosphere of the short-lived
generation. A few of the stories and poems,
especially, have the tense, "I don't know
where we're goin' man, but we'll know it
when we get there" attitude that de
mands the coolest of jazz backgrounds to
read by.
So much of this is in "Scrip" because
that was the thing that was submitted,
said editor Steve Schutz. Actually, it is
natural that the generation should shim
my lazily through the issue; it is still
moving casually through so much of the
new literature anymore.
. The awareness seems to be an aware
ness of feelings and sounds and colors
and their effects upon one another. I found
a few paragraphs of description that were
unusual in their slant and made me think,
which is a quality of good literature, to
me.
Scrip is a record of student endeavor
and achievement. It is proof that Nebraska
students are thinking and seeing and at
By Sandra Kully
least attempting to say something about
the things they think and see.
I have heard the comment that the
magazine is too limited in its scope; its
copy is too uniform. Obviously it is too uni
form because this is the type of thing that
was submitted that was of literary value.
There are many students on campus who
can write revealing essays and critical
pieces that are probably worthy of print
ing. They must be first submitted, how
ever. I had the pleasure of listening to Dean
Helen Snyder speak on scholarship recent
ly. The subject is so well known to her
that she seems to dig a little deeper each
time I hear her. Her distinction between
the student, the person who jumps for
joy when his assignment is finished, and
the scholar, who seeks just a little more
time to study, made me think of some
thing rather saddening.
Isn't it too bad that when we are in high
school our teachers have tq hammer
knowledge and its purposes into us; that
when we are freshmen and sophomores
in college we accept what our professors
impart in almost one piece; that not until
we are juniors and seniors do we begin
to be discriminating in what we accept
and what we reject and begin to enjoy
and ask for more of the stuff called in
formation. Perhaps we can't see the for
est for the trees until we have plodded
almost through them.
Signs of approaching exam time: the li
brary is becoming crowded and the
weather is becoming too comfortable. A
situation which is not conducive to study
ing. P.S. I do not profess to be a literary
critic of any degree. Buy "Scrip" and see
for yourself.

From the Slot
Yes kiddies, now it can be told.
Long before the Russians thought of
space dogs or even had a satellite in the
air, long before Ike thought of broadcast
ing to earth a peace message from an
artificial earth satellite,
Madison Avenue was
thinking of moving its op
erations into orbit
This month's edition of
Editor and Publisher, a
magazine for editors no
matter how loosely de
fined, reveals that Ford
Motor Co. and others,
through their advertising
agencies, tried months
a so to cet government
nermisskm to send ud a racket oops!
mean rocket that would , broadcast com
mercials from outer space.
The government drew the line though,
and the companies involved couldn't
come to terms with the people who had
the contracts to build America's mon
strous 4th of July firecrackers. -
This may have been the Eisenhower ad
ministrations outstanding contribution to
domestic tranquility.
The United States, Tuesday, turned
' down a chance to free the American air
man held behind the Iron Curtain.
The piloi, IX. Richard Mackin, was
captured by Communist East Germany
when his light plane wandered off course
and ran out of gas. The Germans told the
United States that they were ready to
free Mackin before Christmas but U.S.
officials turned them down because they

refuse to deal with the puppet East Ger
man government.
Our position is that East Germany is
still territory under the military occupa
tion of the Russians. This is most cer
tainly true, but
The United States still has troops in
West Germany and the West German
Federal Republic might be viewed by a
suspicious foreign power as a little in
fluenced by the United States. Its not
what you might call a satellite, certainly,
but the West Germans certainly stick
close to the American point of view on
most things.
So here we are, refusing to recognize
a defacto communist government in Ger
many and one in China'. Here we are,
unable to get our boys out of ho k when
they get jn. Here we are, forced to deal
with both nations, directly or indirectly
whenever they get into our hair, whether
we recognize them or not.
Madness, Madness!
Thought for the day the University
of Detroit recently was having trouble
with some (obviously decadently con
servative,) who preferred to enjoy their,
coffee in the Detroit equivalent of the
Crib in silence. s
Taking out the Wurlitzer would never
do for those who apprecite the soothing
strains of good music. So the administra
tion compromised.
They put three silent records on the
machine. These records may be played at
a dime apiece, just b'ke regular disks.
Even silence has yielded to the pressures
of inflation.
(Afterthought But why three of them?

Bowdoin Students
Offered Study on
Installment Plan
BRUNSWICK, Me. (I.P.)
Bowdoin College undergradu
ates may now pay for their
education each year in Twelve
monthly payments of approx
imately $160 each, according
to an announcement by Dr.
James S. Coles, president.
The total charges at Bow
doin for the current year", in
cluding board, room, and
tuition, amount to approxi
mately $1870, of which tuition
is $1050. Students may choose
to make either two equal pay
ments, one at the beginning
of each semester, or twelve
equal payments, one due
each month July through
June. There is an annual
service charge of $18 for
those choosing the twelve
payment plan.
"It is hoped," Dr. Coles
stated, "that this new pro-
gram will provide significant,
assistance to many students
in financing their college ed
ucation. In spite of the im
mense value of a college ed
ucation in terms of dollars
alone, dollarwise it has not
competed on any comparable
basis with the purchase of the
family home, the family car,
or even for that matter with
vacation travel on a go-now-pay-later
basis.
"In a sense," he concluded,
"this new t w e 1 v e-payment
plan is a recognition of the
fact that the average Ameri
can now . makes purchases
freely on budget payment
plans and ideally determines
his buying capacity according
to monthly budget figures for
income and expense. This
practice suggests the pertin
ence of considering meeting
the cost of a college educa
tion in a manner similar to
that of purchasing a new au
tomobile or other high cost
items."

Student-Faculty Rapport
Discussed at Denver U
DENVER, Colo. (I.P.) In
an attempt to bring about a
closer relationship between
University administrators
and student government lead
ers, the Student Senate at the
University of Denver held a
recent meeting in the form of
a joint dinner and group
thinking session.
The newly initiated n r o -
gram, held in the Student Un
ion, featured a steak dinner,
addresses by administrative
representatives and a ioint
brain-storming activity. The
following points were present
ed as' ideas for possible fu
ture programs of the Student
Senate:
1. Making available all nre-
vious Student Senate minutes.
possibly in the form of bound
volumes, to both student leg
islators and interested parties.
2. The publishing in the
campus newspaper of entire
student organization budgets
and the allocation of student
fees.
3. The presentation to the
i student body of more accur
ate and detailed information
concerning the administra
tion's sensitivity to problems
of student government
4. Encouragement of hon
orary organizations to conduct
more beneficial programs for
students such as tutoring de
ficient students.
5. T h e improvement of
communications between fac
ulty and students on matters
of curriculum.
6. Expansion of new student
guidance programs.
7. A re-evaluation of all
campus organizations.
8. Promotion of increased
courtesy to faculty members
from students.
9. Evaluation of functions of
all-student projects such as
Homecoming and May Days.
10. The improvement of
standards of dress and per
sonal appearance on campus
through the method of estab
lishment of proper traditions.
11. A study of the student
counselling system at the University.
12. Institution of a study of
possible solutions to the fra
ternity and sorority popula
tion problems.

It is rumored that the Ches

making a strong comeback.
How could this be? But actu
ally I did run into the real

night. No

man from

ning the Book Pool this se
mester. This noble experi
ment was started last year.
The headquarters will be in
the Booknook of the Union
which is much more central
ly located than the last one.
This is a fine opportunity for
students to sell their books
for more than they can at the
bookstores and, at the same
time.t o pick up books at a
cheaper price. !
After the last column on;
safety on the highways, it
was mentioned to me that one
of the problems could be,
solved byputtinga MINI-1
MUM speed limit on t h e j
highways. This would allevi-j
ate the situation of a car com-1
ing up over the brow of a
hill only to find a hayrack
going at about 3 miles per
hour. This always makes for
the neatest accidents.
This yogi seems to have
something to it. If you don't
believe it just drop into the
Cornhusker office sometime
and look at all the relaxed
people sprawling out all over
the floor.
It seems as if AWS is try.
ing almost as hard as the
Kosmet Klub to work a hard
ship on the skits for "Coed
Follies this year. If .they
would only try a little hard
er they might succeed. Kos
met Klub put tryouts of the
show right after Homecoming
this year and now AWS is
putting tryouts one week be
fore finals just when people
need the most time to
study !!!!!!
Finals are just around the
corner and, as usual, the
books are being opened more
often and with more purpose
than before. Suddenly it
seems as if there just aren't
enough hours in the day and
days in the week. However,
in just two weeks it will all
be over and everything will
be back to normal.

IS STUDYING NECESSARY?
Once there were three roommates and their names were Wait
Pellucid, Casimir Finit, and LeRoy Holocaust and they were ail
taking English lit. They were all happy, friendly, outgoing
types and they all smoked Philip Morris Cigarettes as you
would expect from such a gregarious trio, for Philip Morris is
the very ecsence of sociability, the very spirit of amity, the very
soul of concord, with its tobacco so mild and true, its packs so
soft and flip-top, its length so regular or long size. You will
find whpn you smoke Hiiiip Morris that the birds sing for yoa
and no man's hand is raided against you.
Each night after dinner Walter and Casimir and LeRoy went
to their room and studied English lit. For three hours they sat
in sombre silence and pored over their looks and then, squinty
and sprnt, they toppled onto their pallets and sobbed them
selves to sleep.
This joyless situation obtained all through SepU-mlier and
October. Then one November night they were all simultane
ously struck by a marvelous idea. "We are all studying the sam
thing," they cried. "Why, then, should each of us study for
three hours? Wliy not each study for one hour? It is true we
will only learn one-third as much that way, but it does not
matter because there are three of un and next January lefort
the exams, we can get together and pool our knowledge!"
Oh, w hat rapture then fell on Walter and Casimir and LeRoy I
They flung their beanie into the air and danced a schottiw he
and lit thirty or forty Philip Morrises and ran out to pursue
tlie pleasure which had so long, so bitterly, been missing from
Uieir Uvea.
ALui, they found instead a series of gnsly misfortunes. Walter,
alas, went searching for love and was soon going steady with a
ened named Invicta Itreadstuff, a handsome la, but, a Ian,
hopelessly addicted U bowling. Each night she bowled five
hundred line, some nights a thousand. Poof Walter's thumb
was shamble and his purse was empty, but Invicta just kept
on Ijowling and in the end, alas, she left Walter for a pin-setU r,
which was a t-rriUe thing to do to Walter, especially in this
case, Ijecause the pin-setter was automatic.
Walter, of course, was far too distraught U study his English
lit, but he U)k some comfort from tlie fact that his room
mates were studying and they would help him liefore the exams.
But Waltrr, alas, was wrong. His roomrit, Casimir and
I-eKoy, were nature lovers and they used their free time to go
for long tramps in the wood. One Novemlr night, ala,
Uy were U-d by two lears, Casimir by a brown bear and
ljltoy by a Kodiak, and they were kept in the trees until mid
January when w inter set in and tlie brown bear and tlie Kodiak
