Pace 2 The Daily Nebraskan Tuesday, May 19, 1959 Editorial Comment: 'Old Guard' Supports Change I G'JESS THERE ARE SW THINGS UIE WILL NEVER KNOUJ IN THIS LIFETIME.' Several things can happen when an or ganization revises Itself. Often, the best laid plans of constitutions disappear into the oblivion cf "But this is how it's al ways been done." All too frequently the revisions are not seriously supported by members of the group who worked up under the old sys- Lack of Tolerance May Bring Decline Monday morning the Legislature voted 18-17 to kill a resolution by Senators Joe Vosiba, J. W. Burbach and Norman Otto calling for the Legislature to go oh record against "unfounded insinuations and charges of disloyalty" on the floor of the Legislature against Law College faculty members Merton Bernstein, Frederick Beutel and Caleb Foote. The Daily Nebraskan can view the vote In the Legislature as nothing less than un fortunate. At its worst the vote is a calamity of the first water, damaging to the University and to the reputation of the state. There are other universities and colleges in this nation whose faculty members are under the gag rule of the state legislature or the personnel in the statehouse. These schools are well kncwn to educa tors in this country. But you don't have to ask one of your instructors which ones they are. Just look down at the bottom of any list which ranks the efficiency and competency of the nation's schools of high er learning and you will find these of fenders. And that's where the University of Ne braska is headed unless Nebraskans be gin to appreciate the virtues of tolerance and understanding. For what college professor, obviously earning his living through the exercise of his mental capacity, is going to subject that mental capacity to the straight jacket of a censored institution? That of course, is a rhetorical question. Obviously none would. And none will either, if the Legislature . persists in their present stand. The Uni versity, under its present administration has worked hard to build the reputation of the school and the state to one of respect in the nation's educational circle's. And now it appears that the Legislature is about to "drop back and punt" just when all this hard work is beginning to pay off. tern. Saturday saw a fine example, how ever, of when a revision was firmly sup ported by the old group. In the first real joint meeting of the new Union advisory borad with the regular Upion activities board, next year's proposed budget and programming were ground out. The advisory board came into existence this spring after some three years of planning. It consists of students who rep resent 10 segments of the campus which the Union people felt were not adequately represented on the eight-member activi ties board. In all matters concerning bud get and programming, the two groups must both approve. Thus, in effect, the newly created advisory board could veto programs and budgets which had been set .up by the activities board. This could have created" a somewhat touchy situation. The eight members of the board have worked up through the Union heirarchy. They are thoroughly fa miliar with the inner workings of Union. The Advisory board is a group of 10 per. sons, unconnected otherwise with the Union. Saturday's meeting, however, was a re freshing example of open-minded cooper ation between the nev group and the old. The session, which took all day, saw the programming for an entire year mapped out. With the program, went budgeting for an entire year as well. This sort of plan ning involves long hours of hashing over seemingly minor points, inevitable inter est conflicts, and occasionally, seemingly insoluble disputes. Throughout the course of the afternoon, when the real "meat" of the problem was undertaken the budget requests by the individual committees both the members of the advisory cabinet and the activities board displayed what we feel to be a sin cere interest in programming what was best for the campus, regardless of what had been done in the past. The job was a large one. Next fall will see the grand opening of new Union fa cilities which will completely alter the complexion of the Union. New facilities mean not only new space for bowling, billiards, etc., but new space for pro grams and activities as yet not conceived. The Union people have to submit a pro posed budget now which will cover ex penses for all of next year, a critical year because it is a "first." We feel that the Union, which has oc casionally in the past come under fire as not having it's ear to the ground for stu dent opinion, is to be commended for the fine attitude its leaders are taking in pre paring for next year.

One of first peo ple seen after arrival at Registrar's Of fice is my pinmate. She has accumulated 53 hours. Clarivoyance, I think. I stand quite unknowingly. Where are the cards to pull, I ask myself. Where are the bear down sheets? Where are the lit tle lap boards? Where are the lines of people that one has to stand behind and loves to complain about? I am instructed to hand over my work sheet. It is incomplete. The bottom half, which is labeled student's copy is torn off. I am instructed that this is not the' stu dent's copy. I wonder why it Is labeled student's copy. I fill it out for their convenience, after noticing that my Tuesday and Thursday English class was entered under Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Again uncertain of what steps to take, I ask. I may leave, a lady says. I do. Perhaps bureaucracy is all right, I think. Congrats Congratulations are due to 17 members of the State Legislature. At least 17 of them had the convictions that charges against professors of the state university based on hearsay and membership in lib eral organizations was no indication of un worthiness to teach the students of tha state. But a larger number by one, perhaps for procedural or political reasons, or perhaps because of their own belief of wrongdoing by Law College prpfessors, decided that apparently there was "othing to disapprove about in the statements against the Law faculty members. As Prof. Merton Bernstein commented: "This is another chapter in what has been an amazing situation." It certainly has been.

Tx u ZZ ' J J lJt 1 Buckshot Porcupines Frankly, I've just about run out of wise things to say to you, my few and foolish readers. This is Spring and surely we have better things to do in Spring than read a column by "Buck" in the "Rag." Space opens: We exist, yet as multi-colored sparks v red, yellow, purple, or ange who yearn to leap and ride the perfumes of the air, wear garlands in our hair (like the Greeks) swept in storms and spar kles of the wild dream music of Brahms; Beneath the shadows -of oaks, waters streaming to eter nity, ' we dissolve in luke warm rain, and stain the stream of time: red, yellow, purple, or ange, every color of the hearts desire. Space closes: We are not. In the poetry, the refer ence is to the ' ancient Greeks and has nothing to do with certain modern traces. If you think the poet ry is crummy, you are .wrong: I wrote it myself. Spring Tragedy The real tragedy of the Spring season is that many girls get their hair cut way too short. I know one girl with mousy brown hair who . looks as though she had it cut with a lawn mower. In addition, she wears black horn-rim glasses and a silly grin, so naturally any fel low who looks at her is go ing to think about studying his analytic geometry or' something anything any thing else. Any girl who 5 AYf cuts her hair short cuts' off half of her sex appeal. Forgiven I was going to .take, re venge on several people in this column, but being of a kindhearted nature, I for give them all. If you have topped my joke, hurt my ego, openly doubted the greatness of my column or the wisdom of my state ments, I forgive you and pity you for your stupidity. Cute Lines I overheard some cute lines by a slick chick as she was pawing her quary. I don't make it a point to overhear, but this girl was giving a- public ex h i b i t i o n anyway. In the sweet est, most innocent lit tle voice I ever heard, the slick chick was don't have UUCK many friends." Romeo mumbled something in ' a low voice. "I don't have many real good friends," she answered, still pawing him. Then a little later she . said: "Let's study together all the time!" And she said this as though she was overacting on stage full of passion and simplemind ed joy. It was positively hi larious. Who was it that said, "everything is funny just as long as it's happen ing to somebody else." Better is the end of a thing than its beginning; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Ecclesiastes 7:8 dSi Prokop Nebraskan Letterip My first love being ath letics, today's column will be devoted strictly to sports. During the course of the summer, I have t h ie o p p o r tunity to see much of our great state ' while play ing b a s e ball. The one q u e s tion more people want the answer to than any other is the question of how are our teams at Nebraska oing to do in the coming year. The prospects in football are the best they've been at Nebraska since pre-War years. While sitting on the sidelines during the Alumni-Varsity affair, many of my old jock friends from past years at Nebraska made various comments , which were of great inter est to me as a football en thusiast. One of the most note worthy comment was the statement of the current teams depth. Sammuelson and Novak discussed brief ly the relative equality of the boys that played in front of them. According to them, whenever Coach Jen nings took one boy out and put another in his place, there wasn't a great deal of difference. The backs were tremen dously hampered from run ning outside because the ground was extremely slick and muddy. However, their speed in the handoffs has increased into the line which is important in the T formation. Little Passing There was a great deal of criticism about Nebraska not passing very much dur- ing the game, but actually it was a very shrewd move on Jenning's part. Pass patterns are the hardest things to master and there terested In the North 80 back in Fullerton, I ven ture to say that he'll lead tU. MA..M nMAHM M A W UIC 1VUI4U gaillCla U V A I year. Pat Fischer looked good along with Clay White, Pat Claire and Dal las Dyer. The fullback situation Is also very good with Don F r i c k e leading the, way. Don will have to learn to veer more when he has bro ken through the line in ord er to make a good break away runner but other than that his power more than makes up for his lack of bursting speed. Noel Mar. tin also did a very com mendable job. The point that makes a football team is the line. From my point of view, our line speed is very good. Add the roster of players that were present on all sports day with Don Olson, Duane Mongerson, All Well man, LeRoy Zentic and Monte Kiffin and one could most certainly say that it is one of the best lines Ne braska has ever had. Sports writers claim that our present line lacks expe rience but let's take a look at the veterans pres--ent in this team Drm f"H.. son was an All-Big Eight selection two years ago and Mongerson, Wellman, Zen tic, Rosier and Moore aren't exactly playing their first game next year. Transfers Haney,"Long and Cooper also have ' seen a" football before this year. ' Tough Schedule Overall, the schedule is rough and long but with 1 A I. A replacements ana team ucym it vvvii t kre iicai as tough as in the past. At present Nebraska's poten tial in the conference is . greater than Kansas, Kan sas State, Colorado and Iowa State. Missouri will be the team to beat if Ne braskan's want to look for ward to a bowl game. And of course we mustn't forget the Sooners of Oklahoma. Understanding,. To the Editor: I take this opportunity to convey my sincere thanks to Pastor and Mrs. Peter son, Mr. Rober Strue and other associates of the Lu theran Student House who took keen interest for ar ranging the Internatonal meeting on a recent Sun day evening. Their hospitality, cour teous dealings, and nice foods I hope every one of us has enjoyed. Above all, I appreciate their idea for making the necessary ar rangements for the panel discussion with some of our International friends. This thought byeond doubt will help to evaluate better understanding and cement the bridge between our International and American friends in gen eral. The discussion in the panel would have been more interesting provided more emphasis would have been given on the Intellect ual sides. The subject of discussion was "Insearch of Peace" but to my surprise the pan el members deviated from the main issue and spent most of the time on the color problems, etc. It is highly regrettable that only the dark sides of some in dividuals and their at titudes towards the foreign students specially the non whites have been criticized but no regard nor any ap preciation has been shown towards their bright sides. . I am afraid this may re flect on our American friends who may gather a bad impression about us; on the contrary our fund amental aims for establish ing friendship will be fad ed away. I feel it necessary to clar ify this question, During my two and a half years' stay in Lincoln I have found most' of the people here are very friendly, courteous and hospitable. Only on rare occasions have I come across a man or woman with a high complex for racial discrim ination. It is my personal belief and conviction that on the average the attitude of the people in the Midwest is very friendly, but still I" think from cither side, we should attempt sincerely for better understanding and one must approach with an open heart and a broad outlook. It will be improper to judge the whole nation from an attitude of an in dividual person who by na ture may be different. I personally feel that this type of International meet ing should be arraged reg ularly if possible and there should be more intellectual discussions about the prob lems of this turmoiled world in search of peace and better understanding.
