Easter Mondayanother day of classes.
That was the condition on campus yes
terday after on Easter Sunday and even
the day before thousands upon thousands
of students made the trek back' to cam
pussome returning perhaps only 10 or
20 miles, some returning more than a
thousand.
In other words, perhaps the greatest
day of festival of the year in the Chris
tian world was cut short for many stu
dents conscientiously making their way
back to Lincoln, and that early Monday
morning class.
We certainly must return to school after
vacation, no matter how distasteful the
word study may seem after a week of
lounging, travel or whatever the individual
student may have done.
But hundreds of students gladly, we be
lieve, would forego a day's vacation at
some other time of the year in order to
come back to school on the second day,
not the first day, after Easter.
Throughout Nebraska, all colleges and
cniversities-other than the University
and most public and parochial schools had
yesterday free from classes. Most of the
schools and institutions 'fa
states do the same.
There does seem to be, then, some rea
son, some precedent for having the day
after Easter be a day free from academic
pursuits.
In business, many firms and factories
are including Easter Monday in their list
of three-day holiday weekends.
And besides these actions, another rea
son for an extended vacation presents its-

veloped outside of Lincoln as students re
turned to campus and thousands of other
local residents returned to their homes
from an Easter outing in another city or
after a leisurely drive in the country.
The more traffic, the more accidents.
Driving on a major highway during any
holiday such as Christmas, Labor Day or
Easter presents dangers, whether we like
to think so or not.
On campus yesterday, it seemed' that
many professors even were reluctant to
return to the classroom as many morning
classes were dismissed after only 20 or 30
minutes.
AH this, then, presents the question:
Why doesnt the University switch around
the spring vacation calendar to aDow for
a free Easter Monday?
Certainly one day of lost classes can
not be held as an ironclad reason. And one
statement advanced by the administra
tion when the Student Council recently
looked into the situation was that if the
day after Easter was a day of no classes,
then students could not be let out on
Spring Day.
But as it now stands, only the afternoon
classes on Spring Day are dismissed. The
number of Friday afternoon classes any
week is few, and it's quite doubtful than
any large percentage of University stu
dents do spend much time in class on Fri
day afternoon.
Perhaps the administration should be
approached again on this subject Easter
Sunday again could be fully enjoyed, stu
dents could escape traffic hazards and
minds would be more relaxed and ready
to tackle the last, long five weeks in the
classroom.

"Basically, we are losing the ability to
laugh at ourselves. We have failed to rec
ognize our own ludicrousness.
"The automobile dealer would be hor
rified, rather than amused, if someone
told him, One never sees Edsels on Jhe
road. It's a sort of limited edition Ford,
for dealers only.
"We are becoming one big nation of or
ganization men, afraid to laugh at our
selves for fear of losing status. We are,
in effect, losing one of the basic traits of
humanity: risibility.'"

Criticises
Criticism
A noted teacher recently
struck out at criticism edu
cation is receh-ine in a
speech before the University I
Teachers College. I
Dr. Clifford Erickson f
Michigan State University I
told the gnup there was a j
need to examine the vital !
questions which should be 1
asked about education.
"'We must examine what
the central role education !
reJly plays in the preserva
tion and development of our
society,'" he said.
Are we really willing to
fight for freedom, common
welfare, for ur committ
ment for educational oppor
tunity nd the toleration of
uniqueness and individual
ity?" he asked.
The a uth eriiy told the
group that this is the period
in the development of educa
tion when our own people
must determine what educa
tional decisions are made at
the state level and what .de
cisions are made in the na
tional interest.
He cited teachert In th?
United States for their dedi
cation in face of criticism
that is sot just.
lt is not that we should
not be examinir g the critics'
remarks, but rather, that the
larger questions, more vital
questions should be answered

Fund Purpose
In ,an effort to clear up
any misunderstanding con
cerning the Freedom Fund,
Rev. Williams said, "The
Freedom Fund of the
XAACP is a fund set up by
asking each branck to re
port in June of each year
an amount in accordance
with Sts membership. This
is used during the year to
fight the many cases that
comers up throughout the
country.
The Special Freedom
Fund by the Lincoln branch
and other branches, to
gether with some contribu
tions from newspapers and
ether Interested groups, is
for the express purpose of
aid to the students who are
staging the sit-in demon
strations and wfO not be
used for any other purpose.
Encouraged by student
interest in the struggles of
Southern Negro students,
Rev. Williams commented
further. "We are deeply
aware of the moral and
ethical dimensions of the
entire civil rights enter
prise. The Special Freedoni
Fund is one more way of
expressing our continuing
faith in the democratic
ideal of freedom and the
religious concept of the
sacred worth of the indi
vidual 'Continued Cooperation'
Through continued co
operation these goals can
be achieved. The final ques
tion is whether the Negro
will "trespass' in a "public
place' or hold his 'self re
spect' and lose the respect
of others by complacently
adjusting to an unjust sys
tem. "The Southern student
has already spoken. He is
not afraid of jails, expul
sion from school, loss of
job, or any" other intimida
tkxn, for he says that as
long as he is half slave
he is in no better position.""

Historian's Hope
((ACP) From the Dally
Texan:
Harards of the historical
hypothesis was the topic
for historian Walter Pres
cott Webb at University of
Texas recently, and he had
this to say "the hypothesis
is shared with no one and
is in this sense like a poem,
a painting, or a baby."
Scientists run no risk in
the pursuit of hypotheses
because they can prove
their ideas by experiment,
he added. "But the histori
an has such poor lock
with hypotheses that be
shuns them."
Webb said he knew of no
historian wfto has ever
been able to prove a hypo
thesis. "This means that the
historical hypothesis never
gets beyond" the Dypotheti
cal stage. It is always con
troversial, never universal
"The best the historian
can hope to get is a split
decision," Webb concluded. (
