'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.

Arose early Monday a.m. Cramp in left
toe. Visions of blue books dancing in head.
Little did I realize this was the fateful day,
my next semester's
class worksheet was to be
turned in to the Regi
strar's Office.
Morning continues.

Afternoon rolls around. Hear ROTC pre
lummer camp orientation, break through
Cornhusker pick-up-your-books line, enter
Rag office, work on copy.
Auditory system picks up voices. "Isn't
It wonderful," they say. "And so fast,
too." Attention made to voices.. What
could be wonderful and fast, both. Find
out seniors-to-be could turn in registra
tion sheets for next semester.
It's 4 p.m. Lines of people with the mini
mum of 53 hours earned to register on
Monday enter my brain picture. Ther are
perched In front of the Registrar's win
dow!, ready to register, notwithstanding
that their senior In hoars (me) hadn't
checked in.
Brain picture is right. 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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
