Too Much Mad '
To the Editor:
The following remarks are
in reference to Miss Bar
bara Wilson's column in the
March 9 edition of the Daily
Nebraskan.
After reading Miss Wil
son's charming article, I
was curious to see if the
publication to which she
made reference was actual
ly as bad as she made it
t, g . i cJ seem. I thought that the
By Or etC lieil Sides ieast that she could have

Miss Sides
Vacation is a-coming.
That phrase (sung to the tune of Shrimp
Boats because its sort of cheery) is the
only thing keeping me going through this
ghastly week.
It runs through my
mind in the wee hours of
the morning as I peer
through bleary eyes at my
history book, my other his
tory book and my poll sci
bock.
You see I've devised the
new system of studying
all three at the same time
just hopping from page
to page. This stemmed
from that age-old ques
tion: Well, which shall I study and which
shall I flunk? I couldn't decide, so have
reached a compromise which assures me
of flunking everything.
The phrase is also the only thing that
holds Up my weary body as I climb out of
bed for my a.m. class and hop to all my
other morning classes with a determined
smile on my face to conceal the fact that
I am actually asleep.
I have always been a confirmed putter
offer and the week before any vacation all
my procrastinating catches up with me.
Then I develop a nervous twitch, my eyes
get glassy and I alternate between two
moods extreme depression and a state of
nervousness that makes me resemble a
Tasmanian devil. I quit talking and just
growl and I absolutely hate the world.
Really, if the realization -that vacation is
just around the corner didn't occasionally
force its way into my benumbed brain, I
might do something rash like set off a
small bomb .in the basement of admini
. stration, or give a teacher a hot foot, or
hold a one-man off limits illegal-type func
tion. Boy, the things that run through a
student's mind when the student feels like
a slightly tromped-on mouse. And lots of
assignments always make me feel like a
tromped-on mouse, one that's about to be
gobbled up by a monster, faintly resemb
ling a composite picture of all my teach
ers. One steadying note in the whole mess is
the number of other sad creatures who
seem to be having the same troubles.
Misery loves company, and in my case,
the more miserable the company is the
better I like it. Of course, that can be over
done. The other night a girl was in my
room with a really sad tale several hour
exams, papers due, all sorts of horrible
things had happened. We compared sad
stories you know both moaning and
groaning, and hers really outdid mine. And
that sort of thing has an undermining ef
fect. After all, to really feel sorry for
yourself, it takes a certain conviction that
you are undoubtedly the most imposed
upon person in the world.
Oh well, it'll soon be over and we can
all go home to relax into the most bliss
ful state of nothingness in the world. Va
cation is a-coming. (Don't forget to be sure
to sing that phrase, not just say it. As I
said, it's a cheery tune.)
done was 10 De more spe
cific so that her readers
could discover whether her
criticism was just, or at
least could have the oppor
tunity to read something
that would "tickle their
funny bone."
Well, I happened to get
my hands on the publica
tion to which she was re
ferring, and after reading
the sections on which she
commented, I enjoyed the
first half of her column the
gossip didn't seem to be
what we might term Uni
versity level work. How
ever, I would place the sec
ond half of Miss Wilson's
article in approximately the
same juvenile category.
Miss Wilson has evidently
been reading too many Mad
magazines, because she
seems to be unable to ap
prehend the real meaning in
the article to which she
takes her whip.
The author of this article
specifically said, "I don't
mean the usual type of cow
ard. You are a Christian
coward." He was referring
to his "fear of revealing the
fact that I am a Christian."
Using coward in this way,
I think that if Miss Wilson
will turn to Luke 9:62

one who puts his hand

Currently gracing the Stu
art screen is "The Journey."
Set against a background of
the unsuccessful Hungarian
revolt in November, 1956, it
mov-38 with swift and sus
penseful excitement. Pro
duced and directed by Ana
tole Litvak, the picture's
success is the result. of a
combination of factors. In
volved is some excellent
photography in MetroColor,
and an outstanding interna
tional cast headed by Yul
Brjnner ' Deborah Kerr,
E. G. Marshall and Robert
Morely. Jason Robards Jr.
is polished in his first pic
ture although Kurt Kaznar
seemed rather stereotyped.
"The Journey" is hardly a
pleasant tale. An English
woman (Kerr) and her lov
er (Robards), a wounded
Hungarian freedom fighter,
' are in flight from the Com
munis ts. Escaping to Vien
na via bus, along with a
carload of assorted charac
ters, they are detained by a
Red Army unit headed by
Brynner. The inevitable
game of cat and mouse be
gins with Brynner, in a role
hat well demonstrates his
agile skill, suspecting Rob
ards political affiliation.
The complications begin
withBrynner's great attrac
tion to Miss Kerr. The film
moves toward a swift and
completely unsuspected cli
max. '
In truth, "The Journey"
Is more than a drama of
the conflicts of love and
war. It is a story of the
fears, hopes and problems
of a group of neutral citi
zens seeking to escape the
horrors of revolution. It ex
amines the lives of 14 peo
ple from widely different
walks of life and reveals
the way they face a major
crisis when their holidays
are interrupted by the new
est explosion of a world in
turmoil.
Whether this fine picture
will win the success it de
serves is yet to be seen. Its
cast is a brilliant one anJ
its story js timely. At the.
same time, "The Jour
ney's' approach to some
difficult scenes and emo
tions is hardly usual. Please
disregard the trite and com
pletely misrepresenting ad
vertising campaing.
Still Solid
Continuing solid after
lo! these many weeks is
"South Pacific" at the Coop
er Theatre in Omaha. This
is one show that really does
need absolutely no introduc
tion. The point here is an
American success that has
already surpassed the hopes
of even the most cockeyed
optimist. As a play, it ran
years on Broadway, and as
a touring production, across
the n a t i o n. As a picture,
"South Pacific" has the add
ed grandeur possible only
through the bird's eye view
of Leon Shamroy's excel
lent Todd-AO color camera
work, taken on the spot.
Incidentally, the picture is
well worth a second visit.

classified section included
what could amount to a re
ciprocal agreement recent

Below it an enterprising

for cowards who are always
wary of their faith and con
tinually submitting to so

ment about the author's
"vague generalizations
about what 'should and
must be the center of (his)
life!", I should merely like
to extract a line from the
article which reads,
". . . Christ is supposed to
be the center of my life."
This leads me to two con
clusions: either the column
was too deep for Miss Wil
son's comprehension, which
would perhaps, place it
above the "juvenile" level,
or she didn't read this little
gem from cover to cover
avidly." As I finished my
research, the question
which struck in my mind
was, "What in the name of
Alfred E. Neuman, did she
write about in her column?"

Furrow
To the Editor:
We have been waiting for.
some editorial criticism of
Sergeant Furrow, chief of
the campus police. As chief
of police, he should certain
ly be aware of the responsi
bility that one assumes
when operating a vehicle on
the public roads. It would
appear, however, whether a
person were aware of this
or not, that he would cer
tainly have the moral re
sponsibility to stop after
damaging another's prop
erty and to report this dam
age to the rightful owners,
or at least the authorities.
Since he is a member of the
group in authority himself,
he must have a reasonable
respect for it. It has now
been brought to our atten
tion that the good sergeant
has been charged with reck
less driving in addition to
his previous charges.
It would seem to this hum
ble observer that the ad
ministration has been mak
ing much of adverse public
ity brought to the University
by the actions of persons,
particularly students, con
nected with this institution.
Actions which bring about
this publicity consist of a
"lack of 'moral responsibil
ity" and not "conducting
oneself as a gentleman" or
exercising "good taste."
It would appear that the
actions of the excellent
sergeant have attracted
more attention to the Uni-

ADVENTURES IN SOCIAL SCIENCE: NO. 2
Today, with earnestness and sobriety, we make the second of
our forays into social science. We take up the most baic of all
social sciences sociology itself.
Sociology teaches us that man is a social animal. It is not
instinct or heredity that determines his conduct; it is environ
ment. This fact is vividly borne out when you consider the case
of Julio Sigafoos.
Julio, abandoned as an infant in a dark wood near Cleveland,
was adopted by a pack of wild dogs and reared as one of their
own. When Julio was found by a hunter at the age of twelve,
the poor child was more canine than human. He ran on all
fours, barked and growled, ate raw meat, lapped water with his
tongue, and could neither speak nor understand one single word.
In short, he was a complete product of his environment.
Julio, incidentally, was more fortunate than most wild chil
dren. They never become truly humanized, but Julio was ex
ceptional. Bit by bit, he began to talk and walk and eat and
drink as people do. His long-dormant mental processes, when
awakened at last, turned out to be fantastically acute. He was
eo bright that he learned to read and write in a month, got
through grammar school in three years, and high school in two.
And last June as thousands of spectators, knowing the oclils
Julio had overcome, stood and raised cheer after cheer, he was
(graduated valedictorian from Cal Tech with a degree in astro
physics! Who can say to what towering heights this incredible ly
would have risen had he not beeu killed the day after comincnce
uitnt while chasing a car?

But I digress. To return to sociology, people tend to gather
in groups-a tendency that began, as we all know, with the
introduction of Marlboro Cigarettes. Wluit an aid to sociability
they are! How benignly one looks upon one's fellows after puff
ing on Marlboro's filter that really filters, on Marlboro's flavor
that s realLy flavorful. How eager it makes one to extend the
hand of friendship! How grateful we all are to Marlboro for
making possible this togetherness ! How good not to live in the
bleak pre-Marlboro world with every man a stranger!
The groups that eople live in today (thanks to Marlboro)
vary widely in their customs. What, is perfectly acceptable in
one society- may be quite outlandish in another. Take, for in
stance, the case of Ug Van Wyck.
Ug, a Polynesian Lid, grew up in an idyllic South .Sea We
where the leading event of the year was the feast of Max, the
sun god. A quaint all-day ceremony was held, with tribul
dancing, war chants, fat-lady races, pie-eating contests, and, for
the grand finale, the sacrifice of two dozen maidens.
According to Ug's folkways, sacrificing maidens wa entirely
acceptable, but when, in his eighteenth year, he was sent as an
exchange student to the University of Wisconsin, he soon
learned that Americans take a dim view of this practice in
Wisconsin, at any rate. The first fifteen or twenty maidens l'g
sacrificed, he was let off with a warning. When, however, he
persisted, drastic measures were taken: he was depledged by
his fraternity. -A broken man, Ug quit school and moved to
Milwaukee where today he earns a meager living as a stein.
