Editorial Comment:
G.E. Bowl Appearance
Could Reap Dividends
The University at least four nf its ren-
resentatives will be spotlighted on nation-wide
television next month when an
NU team will appear on the General
Electric College Bowl.
The College Bowl each Sunday hosts
two U.S. college teams vying for a win
ning number of points from answering
rough questions.
The University could reap great divi
dends from its appearance if its teams
are successful.
A column in the Purdue University
Alumnus indicates what four winning
scholars can do. The Purdue team won an
unprecedented four times in, a row before
falling to Cornell in a close fifth College
Bowl battle.
The result: congratulatory messages
beamed from all over the country, admis
sion office requests jumped, $6,500 was
won for Purdue's scholarship program
(the winning team each week gets $1,500
for its college's scholarship plan and the
runnerup team receives $500) ...
The four wins proved to disbelievers
that liberal education wasn't forgotten at
Purdue, which is thought of generally as
a technically-oriented school. Most of the
questions on the college bowl are beamed
at liberal arts schools, perhaps because
that particular type of questioning fits in
best with television programming.
So the chance for a showing on the Bowl
may mean more than meets the eye.
Tt would h interesting to see the re
action by University students if the NU
team comes up with an initial win. At
Purdue, each Monday noon when the team
arrived home from New York it was
greeted by yell leaders, the band and
glee club, faculty, students and towns
people. The ROTC Honor Guard was present;
Life magazine, TV, radio and newspaper
cameras clicked; the Student Union held
a reception; the Chamber of Commerce
and Service Clubs staged a banquet and
gave silver engraved bowls; and a high
school held a special convocation honor
ing the Boilermaker scholars.
The NU campus may get an indication
of the amount of interest raised by the
number of applications for the team
turned in by March 23. One-hundred-sixty
initially tried out at Purdue.
But the University now does have a
good chance to prove its merit as both a
strong technical and liberal arts institu
tion. And the whole campus will have a
chance to see whether the so-called
"brain" will get his "just do," as a re
cent letter writer to this newspaper
wished would come about.
Perhaps a winning team would bring the
University a step closer to initiating
varsity "letters" for top scholars as well
as athletes, a rather radical change, it
would seem, for Nebraska but a setup
that has been gaining stature in many
high schools and colleges across the
nation.

U.S. Women Victims of Tabu
Hazel Abel, a 71-year-old Lincoln wom
an, filed her candidacy for the Republican
nomination for Governor of the state this
week and in so doing proved the increas
ing significance of women in world affairs.
Unfortunately, this Increase is coming
too slowly. Few women with Mrs. Abel's
capabilities are being allowed to make use
of their education and aptitudes today.
According to a recent issue of News
week magazine, American women are still
the victims of the tabus of today's society
on females in the professions. Many
women who are capable of becoming law
yers, politicians, doctors, engineers and
industrialists are still held back in the
home where they must conform to the
time-old traditions of diapers and dishes.
Why? Because our culture maintains
that trite adage that "a woman's place
is in the home."
The American male still wants to re
main superior, even though modern edu
cation systems give him no advantage
over many of the "fairer sex." Women
are barred from many fields such as engi
neering by unwritten social law and ac
cept homemaking as their most suited
alternative. Subconsciously they are con
forming to what they think men and so
ciety expect of them.
Too bad sex has to hinder our nation's
technological advancement. In Russia,
women are not so discriminated against.
They work alongside men in developing
their country. Seventy per cent of the doc
tors and 60 per cent of the lawyers in
Moscow are women. The result is an ever
increasing threat to the United States,
the U.S.S.R.'s competitor.
Perhaps the United States needs another
movement, such as 1920's sufferage fight,
to get women accepted in the professions.
The symbol for such an organized appeal
could well be the subtle cover picture
from Newsweek showing the silhouetted
head of a woman with a Phi Beta Kappa
key and a safety pin inside.
' From the Editor's Desk:
It Seems to Me . . .
Political fever throughout this great
land of ours is growing greater since the
New Hampshire primary election in which
Vice President Nixon and Massachusetts
Sen. John Kennedy apparently both got
votes of confidence from their respective
parties.
And as the Associated Collegiate Press
puts it, this is the season when the
thoughts of many college
editors are turning not to
coeds, but to aspiring
political campaigners.
Presidential hope f uls
have included many uni
versity campuses in their
travel itineraries, but
surprisingly enough, two
virtual non-contenders
have captured the spot
light in the collegiate,
press during the last few
weeks.
One is Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New
York, who announced he wasn't going to
try for the Republican nomination late
last year, and the other is Adlai Steven
son, two-time Democratic presidential
nominee and loser, who by the way, hasn't
really said he doesn't plan to run this
year.- '
His strongest statement about the mat
ter was, "At no time have I ever said I
wouldn't accept the nomination, but I
just don't think it is going to be offered
to me."
It's too bad that Stevenson has taken
such an optimistic view of the whole situa
tion, since he possesses a wisdom that
rl'Vi
Kraus
( By Carroll Kraus
either party could use more of in these
days.
" One simple observation he made in the
1952 campaign showed an insight that is
missing in the minds of many contem
porary government officials:
"When we think of Communism, we
think of what we have to lose; when an
Asian thinks of Communism he thinks of
what he has to gain."
, The outlook is brilliant, if only for its
simplicity. It seems quite opposed to the
statements of many politicians while dis
cussing foreign aid and military spending.
For instance, President Eisenhower de
fends the present U. S. military spending
program since he says he's been in the
army all his life and should know what
is going on and what is needed.
Seems James Reston of the New York
Times once said something like, "I've
worn socks all my life, so I should know
all about them."
Looking at the present U.S. position
in the Cold War, could be that we missed
the boat in 1953 and 1956. And unfortun
ately the boat for Stevenson Is too far
from dock now to catch up with.
It's hard to dispute Oregon Sen. Wayne
Morse' statement that the most qualified
man in the United States for the presi
dency is Stevenson.
But it appears that his ability will be
forgotten and never used in the next
election and the four years that follow
and the American nation will have suf
fered a great loss.
A fraternity pledge I know is quite per
turbed about the compulsory $2 ticket he
must buy for the IFC Ball next weekend.
Seems he broke a foot last week.

Council Reply
An "unheralded" reply is
ln order to the two recent
"unheralded" lead edi
torials criticizing the organ
izational structure and the
members of the S t u d e n t
Council.
The first declares that the
council representation is in
consistent with the purposes
of Student Council and the
second avows that direct
officer election Is the an
swer to "greater prestige
and respect from the stu
dent body."
Monday's writing points
out that the Council is mak
ing an "unheralded" study
of its constitution.
This project has been go
ing on throughout the year;
discussed several times in
open Council meetings.
There was even an open
meeting (announced in the
pages of this newspaper)
at which all students were
invited to present their
views on what should be
changed in the Council con
stitution. One student appeared at
this meeting- and to my
knowledge it was not the
writer of either of ,the re
cent editorials.
It is true that almost one
half the present representa
tion of the Council is com
posed of members elected
(not "appointed" as stated
Wednesday) from campus
organizations.
The remaining members
are holdover and elected by
colleges.
This is not however "in
consistent" with the Coun
cil purposes but on the con
trary is the most logical
solution to the problem of
coordination and regulation
of the 100 or more campus
organizations one of the
most important functions of
the Student Council.
Incidentally, the "Independent-Students
Associa
tion" has not been repre-

sented on the Council for
some time and present
plans are underway to
eliminate ' the representa
tion from Coed Counselors
Board, Cosmopolitan Club,
the YMCA and YWCA. This
Information is available to
anyone who has attended
the Student Council meet
ings as all students are en
titled to do.
The Student Council has
the power to "regulate and
coordinate the activities of
all student organizations
and student groups of gen
eral University interest, to
recognize and approve the
constitutions of any new
student organization ....
and to review (at the discre
tion of the Student Council)
the constitution of any stu
dent organization with pow
er of revocation."
With its power of "life
and d e a t h" so to speak
over the great number of or
ganizations on campus is it
inconsistent to grant these
groups representation.
Monday's editorial points
out that "if a student is a
member of enough groups,
he may have three, four or
even more representatives
on the Council."
Big Deal! If a student is
the member of the right
college he has three right
off the bat. The question of
who elects the representa
tives is not as important as
one might think to the oper
ation of the Council The
present setup is designed to
give a cross-section of stu
dent opinion.
The editorial concludes
"An objective study with
the goal of providing effec
tive student government
would be a welcome indica
tion of Council willingness
to institute needed reform."
This hurts the most of all
to be criticized publicly
for not doing something that
you have spent the better
part of a year trying to do.
To get at the second ques
tion: Direct election of Council
officers would bring about
as much "greater prestige
and respect from the stu
dent body" as direct elec
tion of "Girl Most Likely
to Stop a Colorado Buffalo".
The job of Council presi
dent and vice presidents in
charge of elections and the
judiciary committees are
as specialized in a sense as
that of the editor of a cam
pus publication, the Rag or
the Cornhusker for instance.
Are these "potentially pow
erful" offices filled by di
rect election. NO! On the
other hand they are filled
by what might be irrespon
sibly termed direct ascen
cion! .
This is not wrong how
ever. These positions re
quire a certain amount of
knowledge, understanding of
various problems, and
above all experience.
Just as these individuals
are selected by a board who
follows their work closely
the Council president and
vice presidents are selected
by the outgoing Student
Council who has had a
year's opportunity to sea
these individuals at work.
The direct election of the
Student Council president
from the student body could
only result in either a ridi
culous popularity contest or
a bitterly rigged political
melee.
