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.

"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.

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 .

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.

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

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

professor of biochemistry, had

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.
