-I t . V - i i - Page 2 The Daily Nebraskan Monday, February 22, 1960 Editorial Comment: Bigotry One of World's Oldest, Biggest Problems The following is published in the inter est of Brotherhood Week, Feb. 21-28, spon sored by the National Conference of Chris tians and Jews. It was written by Lee Hills, executive Yup, Mr. Bush; You Do Have A Good Team A few weeks ago Husker basketball coach Jerry Push made a statement which seemed to many people was like going out a little too far on a limb. I He said that this year's basketball squad was" the best one he'd ever had since he picked up the Nebraska coaching reins several years ago. At the time the Huskers were in the midst of a losing streak and what ap peared would amount to the poorest sea son, record-wise, in several years. But Saturday night the Nebraska cag ers more than seconded Bush's statement by soundly knocking down Kansas State, 70-60, before about 3,000 Coliseum faith ful. It wasn't a "Chinese-type" win, either. A group of Manhattan students who fol lowed the Wildcats to Lincoln had already conceded defeat by halftime. The win, which knocked K-State out of a chance for undisputed first place in the Big Eight, was reminiscent of the double shockers over the Wildcats and Kansas University two winters ago. And with senior Herschell Turner almost assured of more than 1,000 points for his Nebraska career, the 59-60 Husker cam paign promises to be a memorable one. So congratulations to Bush and Co. And after" Saturday night, we're going to be a little more apt to listen to you, Jerry. editor of the Detroit Free Press and oth er Knight newspapers. "Perhaps no other problem facing hu manity is so in need of solution as the bigotry, latent and active, which besets men and nations. lt has existed ever since ancient times. "The Man of Galilee recognized this when he admonished 'That Ye Love One Another.' The progress toward realizing the ideals of the commandment over the centuries has been slow, but perceptible. "Ever since 1934 a mighty force in Brotherhood Week sponsored by the Na tional Conference of Christains and Jews has been added to other efforts to pro mote real Brotherhood. "The NCCJ has as one of its stated pur poses . . . 'the establishment of a social order in which the religious ideals of brotherhood and justice shall become standards of human relationships.' "In simplified form the creed of NCCJ may be summed up in 'giving to others the same dignity and rights one claims for himself.' "No person, except perhaps those who pride themselves upon their prejudices, can for one moment doubt the high cost to the human race in the lack of Brother hood. "That bigotry and intolerance do exist is one of the saddest commentaries on man and the social order, particularly in a na tion which prides itself in its high stand ards of economic and social progress. "We spend billions for material and physical means with which to wage de fense and even as we do this there is a cancerous ill of hate and prejudice di viding us in some degree. "A nation girding its lions against any aggressor must first have completely co hesive forces in the realm of the spirit and in the brotherhood of its people." The Daily Nebraskan can only second the statement. From the Editor $ Desk: It Seems to Me . r -v i LiflZJ Kraus It seems like some sort of social sea son is in full swing in and around campus these days, unfortunately just in advance of the first scholastic reports, which come out after the end of this week. One party, one formal and one Ice Capades at tendance last" week plus the Kingston Trio and the Coed Follies this week might add up to about a half-dozen down hours next week. Besides the above, there arc two basketball games here this week, plus an experimental theatre pro duction. It seems like the storm before a calm er climate which pretty much continues through March except for the KK Show, State High School Basketball Tournament, scattered other social and campus events and many elections. March and early April will probably make or break a number of aspiring jun iors who've conquered the grade tests and now have to pull in a few more activity and perhaps popularity points. Well, they say at least 18 have to make it, unless someone works over a consti tution or by-law before April 30. The Nebraskan is starting a new week ly bridge series this week, which coin cides rather well with the National Col legiate Bridge Tournament which starts bere Saturday. More about the bridge advice appears In another part ef the paper today. The column's author not only has an amazing knowledge of bridge plays, bids, conventions, etc., to his favor when he sits down to contract; he also takes ad vantage of psychological influence by playing with a stack of trophies either on the table or near at hand. Who could bid five diamonds when the fellow does that? The case of Caryl Chessman seems to be turning into a political game. By Carroll Kraus California Governor Pat Brown sup posedly got the word from the State De partment to give Chessman a reprieve since the execution just before President Eisenhower's South American trip might make for scenes in countries like Uruguay. California legislators now are peeved at Brown since it seems he tossed the prob lem of whether or not to keep capital pun ishment in operation up to them in their next session. Although some of the pleas for getting Chessman off have been that he is inno cent, the main objection to the execution has been that he has paid for his crimes by the length and type of imprisonment suffered. He actually didn't commit a murder but what he did, even counting his prowess as an author, surely isn't anything that should set him up as a model person or even anyone fit to live with society. The whole affair does seem to point out one important factor, however. Even the sex deviate gets a fair hearing in this country. And at the sake of offending critics who think loyalty oaths and vows of patriotism are ugly, I'll have to agree with a few more illustrious Americans who have gone before me that this is a pretty good coun try. The Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley have been getting good television au diences lately. And after watching the figure skating doubles Saturday I'm con vinced that there's no more graceful ac tivity in the world of sports. But immediately following was a video tape showing of the women's 500-meter speed skating competition which immedi ately made me wonder if the Spartans of old had females in the running when they started the games. Women are proving equality or some times even superiority in sports, politics, science, etc. Now if they can only prove that there's a little bit of femininity left.

Forget it By Dick Stuckey HIS FORMED QUIpANCf COlWSELOK PAaiLTV..S?r?fD... WIFE . Confusions of . . . a Wasted Youth By Dick Basoco I have a friend contrary to popular opinion) who is a student (even more con trary to popular opinion) in the school of pseudo cynicism (that is, Law Col lege). He and I sat in one of the local restaurants at 1:30 a.m. the other morn ing, and, believing that all great thought occurs after the witching hour, discussed the fate of the world. That is to say, we were talking about girls. You know Low the con versation goes: "Well, what do you think about old oom-shi-da-boom-sha?" "You mean the blond with the big eyes and r i "And so on. Yeah. Whad daya think?" "I think you're drunk." "That's a heck of a thing to say." "Your sleeve is in your coffee." "Oh. Well, I still think she's a tough head." "You going to take her out?" "Well, I might, but she's sd screwed up." ' Who isn't?" "You have a point. Good grief! Look at that chick in the corner booth. Zaaz!" "Your sleeve is in your coffee again. Which cor ner?" And so on. Suddenly my friend interrupted a bril liant soliliquy on my new found philosophical truth that women are more screwed up than men by saying, "Out of state tuition is unconstitutional." How utterly bourgeois! You could tell he was a law student. But after a good deal of discussion (which must be defined as my looking inte the corner booth while he was droning in my ear), I absorbed some information that might be of some in terest to the campus at large. (I say "absorbed" because the only way I could have learned any thing from him my at tention distracted as it was had to be by osmosis.) Let me first present the facts of the situation. First of all, residents of the state of Nebraska must pay $120 a semester for tuition, as suming they do not have to pay late fees. Secondly, those who are not residents of the state of Nebraska must pay $240 a semester for tuition, also assuming they do not have to pay late fees. Library fines are not included in one's tuition. Now then, let me bore you who are still reading this drivel with a few perti nent quotations from a cou ple of legal type documents. From the Revised Statutes of Nebraska, Chapter 85, section 502, 1 quote: "A per son shall not be deemed to have established a domi cile in this state for the purpose of sections 501 to 504 (right to charge non resident fees) unless: . . . such person shall have ac tually resided in this state continuously for six months immediately prior to any registration in a state edu cational institution, with the intention of making this state his or her permanent residence." And "No person shall be deemed to have established residence in this state dur-' ing the time of attendance at such state institution as a student." Casting aside the jargon, as I understand it this means that if I come from Missouri as a 17-year-old freshman, go to school four years, get my BA, get mar ried that summer, buy a house, pay taxes, go to grad school to get my Mas ters, vote in Nebraska, get my Masters and two or three years later my Ph.D. (all the while paying li brary fines), I still pay out of state tuition. The only way around this is to not go to school one semester, establish resi dence in that time (six months prior to registering for the following semester), and even that might not do it. That such a state of af fairs is at best bordering on the asinine is unques tionable; that it is uncon stitutional will now be dem onstrated. To quote from Article IV, Section 2, paragraph ' of the Law of the Land, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Priv ileges and Immunities of Citizens ' in the several States." And Amendment XIV, section 1, says, "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the priviledges and immunities of the citizens of the United States ..." Again attempting to translate, if I drive a Re nault Dauphine and a fill ing station attendant har bors an insane grudge against Renault Dauphines, he can perhaps refuse to sell me gas, but if he does sell me gas he can't charge me more for it because I do own a Renault Dau phine. And no one can pass a law allowing him to do so. In the same way, then, it seems that the University can refuse to admit any one they choose, but they have to charge the same tuition for everyone they do admit, even if they drive Renault Dauphines and are from Missouri. Our administrators and legislators will undoubtedly raise one of two argu ment,. They will either say that anyone driving a Renault Dauphine from Missouri deserves to be charged at least double" tuition or they will talk in vague generalities about having to provide additional facilities because of the outstate students great in flux to our University. The double tuition will presum ably pay for these addi tional facilities. ' To the first argument I say this sounds like the us ual clear-headed adminis trative reasoning; to the second I say merely posh. In the first place these additional facilities ought to be provided anyway, and in the second place, if its the money they're after, they can get the same amount by simply levelling one tuition high enough to compensate for what they would be losing by lower ing out state tuition. This will without doubt thrill all of us from Ne braska, but it is a solution, although perhaps simplified in this brief space. And sooner or later some court will necessitate such a solution by ruling that out of state tuition is, in deed, unconstitutional. , To encourage some gen eral expression by the stu dent body on the subject would be to open myself to the damning cry of "Rab-ble-Rouser" from the cu bical due West of the Un ion. Well, it's been said before. It has been announced that the institution recently observed a birthday. It is my belief that this birthday was observed in a mild state of reincarnation. And remember, the rein carnation idea is that peo ple often come back as dogs and rats and lice and things. Let's get some stories straight. I have uncovered the real facts aboht good old N.U. with the help of ,good sound old thinking. On Feb. 13, 1154, Leif Schmaltz, Barsolian dope runner, landed his good ship "Nebraska" on ' the Girls' P. E. field. (Nebraska is the Barsolian word for "What?") Leif and his first mate, Groggan Leikyte, dis embarked, and looked to the south. "Shades of Christine Jor ganson!" said Leif. "Vota v place for der collitch!" "What?" said Groggan Leikyte. "Dere up on dat hill Vat do ve name it?", said Leif. "What?" said Groggan. And so Nebraska was thusly named What, or in Barsolian, Nebraska. Leif chugged down to the capital and railroaded through a bill which said: "There shall be established in this state an institution under the name and style (check the style) of the University . of Nebraska. (University is the Barsolian w ord for "Who?") "The object of such in stitution shall be to afford the inhabitants of the states the means of acquiring a thorough knowledge of lit erature, sciences and the arts." A later amendment added business administra tion, physical education and plumbing. Several buildings were al ready constructed, includ ing the Grill, and the Hon. J. Sterling Morton, with the help of the NROTC and the Kennel Klub, planted a tree. (Two trees?) Cost of the construction of the Social Sciences build ing was estimated at $17.35, including a maze for grad students in Psychology. This amounted to half as much as the State Penitentiary, more than the M&N Build ing, and the same as the Insane Asylum. Sept. 7, 1155, at 10 a.m. was the opening date for classes, but everybody was in the old Union (now Ben nett's Cafe) drinking coffee so they moved H-Hour up to 1 p.m. but by then everyone was in the Union dead. There weren't no more cof fee either. Tuition was free, but an activities fee ef $120 was NU Faculty Pen, Publish Dr. Norman H. Cromwell, professor of chemistry, with the assistance of- graduate stu dents R. P. Ayer and P, H Hess published three articles on "Elimination Reactions of AlphaHalogenated Ketones." "Role of Multiple Bonding in Electron Transfer Reac tions" was published by Dr. E. R. Nightingale, assistant professor of chemistry. Two articles, "Moby Dick: The Grand Hooded Phantom," were written by Dr. James Miller, chairman of the Eng lish department. Dr. J. H. Pazur, associate professor of biochemistry, had an article published on "The Preparation of S t r u c t u ral Characterization of Oligosac charides of D-glucose." charged. This was later called tuition. , Books were for sale at twice cost, and could be resold at the book store for eight cents a pound. This practice was continued. One hundred and one stu dents were enrolled in the fall of 1155. (The Lincoln High graduating class.) News of the new Univer sity spread fast. An excerpt from the McCool Junction Morman Trail News stated that the Army ROTC had arrived too late to save Mildred Gherkin, McCool PTA president, from an at tack of 30 Pawnee squaws. A library and reading room contained some 1,000 volumes of literature, his tory, biography, sanscrlpt, plus newspapers, comic books, and Fleets Huble Bubble funnies and some 2,000 students either sound asleep or back mousing in the stacks. The Omaha Herald ad vised the burning of the State University and Capi tol building at Lincoln, but this motion had to go through the Student Coun cil and Student Tribunal, but is still pending on the Council slate, and would have no chance before the puppet Tribunal even if parts of the idea HAD merit. So the Herald decided to forget it, and let the University burn itself down which it may. But to Leif Schmaltz and Groggan Leikyte, founders, a belated "Happy Birthday" to your Who of What. And many more of them, Who of What, which you may have if you start taking sick pills. You know, Leif and Grog gan, it strikes me funny that the growing pains and ails of this place haven't yet been figured out there have sure been enough diag noses. Maybe everyone should determine whose what it is and what is it that's whose or something. But then, everybody either graduates ... or will for get it. 2-ZO I 11 O " 'r r ' ' a 0 o . a o o wn'l.i 'rmm i n O o O - O O 0 ( All Right, (Orio'sV . " VJHE LOIS! SWT J ' , O -,. ""c ' a X o o o .
