Wednesday afternoon, the Student Coun
cil vent into secret session after about
two hours had been spent in one of the
most important of the Council's meetings
of .the semester, dealing with constitu
tional changes.
There was so discussion on the motion
to go into executive session, and the move
passed 15-5.
Subject of discussion, according to
Council President Jack Nielsen, was "Ad
ministration of Rules." Earlier, two other
Council members replied when asked
what the session concerned, answers of "I
don't know" and "I don't think we're sup
posed to telL"
After the motion was passed, all per
sons in the meeting room except Council
advisors and Council members were asked
to leave. .The only two other persons, ap
parently, at the meeting were Daily Ne
braskan reporters who had to leave.
Exactly what the Council did in its ex
ecutive session isn't known. But the con
notations of an executive session gen
erally aren't pleasing, especially to mem
bers of the press who may be biased
but who still feel that secrecy in govern
ment, no matter in what area, doesn't let
the people in this case students know
what their representatives are doing.
'B.C. Goes
To College'
Introduced
There's a caveman at large on the
second page of this newspaper today
named "B.C." He has an IQ of 47, putting
him in the freshman norm, and has an
sptitade for teaching, Registrar' Office
tests show.
Antedating Homer by a few years, B.C.
Is in a position to give vital first-hand in
formation en the eolithic beginnings of
civilization, culture, etc., hitherto a blank
page in history.
Hence, we publish for the first time
"B.C. Goes to College." ; .
Actually, B.C. is a comic creation of
Johnny Bart who never went to college,
and consequently, is an unbiased expert.
The comic strip, now two years old, is
festered in more than 100 newspapers
through the agency of the New York
Herald Tribune,
Funk k WagnaHs are publishing the
first B.C. book, to come out, naturally, on
April Fool's Day.
Bat if yoa readers think the cartoon is
clever, we've got a few more to show you.
And if response to B.C. is high enough,
it could become another Nebraskan fea
ture. So if yon like or don't like B.C., just
write a card, letter, etc., or phone the Ne
braskan to let ns know. And for Peanuts
fans, no sweat Charlie Brown and Co.
will still be featured,, even if B.C. is pur
chased as a rival.
The reporters were sent to the Council
meeting with the intent of gathering the
happenings of the meeting and printing
them, since the Nebraskan feels that the
student body still has the right to know
what its governing body is doing.
The dismissal of the reporters came
after it was suggested earlier in the meet
ing that more co-operation be attained
from the Daily Nebraskan in publicizing
the Council orientation session. It was
stated that no mention of the Sunday
orientation session was made in the Ne
braskan other than a reference in a col
umn questioning the time the session
would begin.
The statement was wrong. The March
18 issue of the Nebraskan carried two
Council stories, one on Page 1 and one on
Page 4. The Page 4 story included more
than five inches of copy pertaining to the .
orientation session and the word "Orien
tation" was included in the headline over
the wrap-up story concerning parking,
final exams and the orientation.
The Daily Nebraskan is willing to1 co
operate with the Council as the play given
to Council stories this semester must in
dicate. But it seems strange the Council
is so willing to publicize part of its activi
ties and forget about other ones.
Good Program,
Poor Turnout
The NUCWA meeting of Tuesday night
scored on one account and failed on an
other. It scored in that the program was a
good one and the fairly heated debate
following a speech by Walter Gray, five
state regional director of the AFL-CIO
sponsored Committee on Political Educa
tion, was highly interesting.
But as far as attendance goes, some
thing flopped.
The meeting was publicized fully, at
least in the Daily Nebraskan. A previous
editorial stated that the meeting should be
quite interesting, as those who did go
found out.
It is strange that the turnout was small
judging from the interest that apparently
has been shown in campus political or
ganizations and clubs. Perhaps there are
too many meetings; perhaps the strain of
studies now is particularly high.
At the meeting, the old saying that we
college students "are tomorrow's lead
ers" was paraphrased. You would think
more future leaders would be interested
in political programs that could give them
a good insight into problems this country
is facing and into the groups that act as
pressure groups to bring about what they
term good for their membership.

Spring Vacation
To the Editor:
We would like to know if
there isn't someth ng that
could be done about the
present dates of the Easter
(Spring) vacation.
We are referring to the
fact .that the vacation ex
tends from Saturday noon
until the Monday morning
following Easter Sunday.
Since we are students
from out of town, this re
quires traveling on Easter
Sunday. This is especially
detrimental to the out-of-state
student who is com
pelled to travel all day in
order to arrive back at
school for Monday classes.
We know that there are
numerous other students
who are in the same posi
tion. Perhaps there are sound
reasons for the present va
cation period, but if there
are, we are not aware of
them. There are other uni
versities which have Easter
(Spring) vacation extend
ing from the middle of the
week to Tuesday or
Wednesday following
Easter Sunday. This ar
rangement would not re
quire traveling on Easter
Sunday and would allow the
student to spend Easter
Sunday at home.
We would like to see this
practice put into effect at
the University of Nebraska,
if possible. If there are any
reasons why this new prac
,tice could not be put into
effect, we would like to be
informed.

effect, we could abolish not
only ROTC but the draft as
weU. It would mean pay
ing men in the service as
much as they could get in
similar jobs outside, but
this is only fair.
It's an axiom that you
get nothing you don't pay
for, and the United States
has not seen fit to pay for
a first-rate military serv
ice. That we have some
competent officers making
a career of the armed
forces is due mainly to the
sacrifice these men are
willing to make for their
country.
Put bluntly, these men
are being cheated as are
also the men who enlist or
go through ROTC out of
fear of the draft
Some of the extra money
necessary for a fair pay
scale must come from the
pockets of the public. And
some of it could be 1
vaged from programs e
ROTC, where it is now be
ing wasted. Pupil

were on floor 14 of the
capitol. Something in that
rrfom plays silent anthems
of majesty. It was a good
sound to feel.
Something about the so
lidity of those pillars of
blackish stone reaching up
ward to support the dome,
something about the
phrases hewn in gold let
ters, has a word 'o say. It
is a comment which needs
making something about
hope, about the integrity of
man and what he can
achieve.
Norman Cousins, editor
of the Saturday Review,
said last week that Ameri
cans need to be reminded
of the value of the individ
ual man. He needs to be
reawakened to the fact that
although history may con
sist of currents trends,
movements, decades, eras,
forces still individuals
count.
Otherwise who would
have heard of Schweitzer,
Michelangelo, Moses, Bis
marck, Columbus, Benedict
Arnold, Frank Lloyd
Wright? Terrible Terry?
Cousins was right. We need
to remember somewhere in
this complex society of ours
that what makes this so
ciety is still We the People
not peee-pul as in the
politicians s p e i 1 to the
"masses" but those living
atoms which make up the
"masses."
Earlier this month I at
tended as one of the Uni
versity's two delegates a
regional session of the
American Assembly at the
Air Force Academy. The
topic: Representation of the
United Slates Abroad. But
regardless of the specific
Assembly topic, through all
the speeches, throughout
the group discussions, the
panels, one theme kept
playing.
Gen. Laurence Norstead,
-NATO commander; Harold
Hoskins, director of the
Foreign Service Institute;
college professors and es
pecially the 80 student dele-
gates kept weaving around
the same point the indi
vidual. We were talking
about selling America, and
to sell one must be sold.
The point to which we
seemed to keep returning
was one of recognizing for
ourselves the best parts of
our system the stress on
individual integrity, free
dom and opportunity. We
talked about recruiting the
brightest young people for
foreign service work not by
emphasizing the material
rewardsthose come any
way but by underlining
the opportunity to perform
a significant, vital task, to
be one of those who give
their very best in peace
time to build not only
America, but the economies
of the rest of the world.
Not everyone can design
a state capitol and then
watch as what once was a
blueprint grows toward
the sky. But someone did.
One individual wrote Beeth
oven's symphonies. One
man wrote "War and
Peace."
I'm tired of everyman
and wethepeee-pul. Being
one of the crew may be
really, really in, but there's
something terribly innish
about being outish.

To the Editor:
About ROTC old poems
are fine, but let's remem
ber that soldiers are not
officers, and that the ROTC
program, to judge from Ne
braska, does not seem to
produce really good of
ficers. The advanced program
seems to consist of an over
blown contest to see who
can learn to say "Allcad
etspresentandaccountedfor sir" as quickly as possible.
The real answer to our
officer problem is to pay
them enough to make them
pick the service by them
selves, and to encourage
them to stay in it
