Editorial Comments:
Plain-Spoken Statesmen,
Diplomats Asked For
From the Ohio State Lantern comes this
plea for plainspoken statesmen and diplo
mats: "We ar;e told that people even state
men and diplomats used to be a plain
spoken lot. Even though history does not
seem to record the apparent consequences
of this, things must have been a lot clear
er 'because of it.
"For whatever the merits of fancy lan
guage and long phrases may be, they sure
' don't help to make things easier to under
itand. "Every major modern international con
ference has been an exercise in playing
around with such phrases. If the diplo
mats ever got around to stating the basic
problem that we and the Russians don't
trust each other, don't like each other,
arid are too afraid of-each other to do
omething about it they kept it secret.
"There have been conferences that
ended well, of course like the 1959 con
ference about demilitarizing Antarctica.
But those conferences havenH made much
difference it was easy to demilitarize
Antarctica because it does not have any
military signific ance anyway. jf
"So, if the business at hand concerned
the as yet undiscovered planets of Alpha
Centauri, we and Russians could no doubt
come to an amiable agreement in a week
r two. But if it is disarmament well . . .
"The present phase of the Geneva dis
armament conferences started with dra
matic Russian proposals to discharge
, soldiers all around and take each other's
. word that nobody would cheat.
"Since we don't trust the Russians (of
the Soviet Government, as some diplomats
imply), we have insisted that the various
rival powers (mainly the U.S. and Russia)
be able to check up on each other. And,
since the Russians don't trust us either,
they claim that our idea is merely a pre
text to get hordes of spies into their coun
tryand that very implication that any
Cancer The Widening Search
One of the fascinating aspects of mathe
matics is the logarithmic progression.
Simply put, this can be shown in arith
metic as ten, next becoming 100, then
10,000 and on the next step, 100,000,000.
Recently, a leading cancer authority
used this expression to demonstrate the
rapid multiplication of leads that re
searchers have opened in the search for a
solution to the cancer problem. It was
presented as one argument for increasing
the financial support for research by both
governmental and voluntary cancer-fighting
agencies.
The American Cancer Society, which is
now launching its 1960 Crusade to educate
students about cancer, pionts to this need
as an ever-increasing one.
Considered the most complex problem
in medical research today, cancer involves
every discipline of science among its le
gion of researchers. In seeking a means
of controlling this disease or of producing
outright cures, scientists are following
trails which, like the logarithmic progres
sion, expand with astounding rapidity.
Instead of one thing leading to another, a
single discovery may lead to numerous
possibilities.
In probing the secret of the cell, scien
tists find, for instance, that one enzyme

body would cheat in such a matter is an
'act of bad faith.'
"In lesser matters, such apparently
hopeless disputes were solved by bore
dom, force, or. arbitration.
"None of these forces is likely to solve
this dilemma, though. How can anyone
become bored about his own survival? Al
so, both military experts and atomic
scientists (not to mention many, many
others) swear that an agreement to fight
the matter out would amount to a suicide
pact. And who is there who could arbi
trate the dispute between us and the Rus
sianseven if we all agreed to abide by
the decision?
"It may be that we are doomed to spend
the rest of our lives paying taxes for more
guns and disarmament conferences and
diplomats' statements about international
good faith and morality. This may be bet
ter than the alternative. But it is also true
that the meaning of an idea depends on
the connotation of the words used to ex
press the idea and the words 'good faith
and ''morality' are already pretty mean
ingless when used in connection with in
ternational affairs.
"What will these words mean after an
other ten years of conferences? And what
will happen if this meaninglessness of
these words transfers from the field of in
ternational affairs to the domestic area?
"Some people claim that this has al
ready happened that words like 'moral
ity,' 'honesty' and even 'good faith' or
'good will' no longer mean anything.
Whether or not they are right about the
present, this could certainly happen in the
future. And the results of something like
that should be obvious.
"This does not mean that the only thing
we can do to prevent deterioration of mor
al value is to start fighting. But it does
mean that we could preserve these values
better by calling a spade a spade no mat
ter how bad it may sound."
seems to be responsible for stimulating
a chemical reaction that controls the
controls the growth process. Following this
lead, they discover that instead of one re
action there are scores. And each one of
these in turn in involved in countless other
reactions.
As biochemists work diligently to find
chemicals that will control cell growth by
trial and error, they have found some that
disrupt the cell machinery for a time but
only for a time. The chemical has blocked
only one of the many pathways. Others
still exist and the wild relentless process
of cancer growth is soon resumed.
Science has acquired vast knowledge
about cancer in the last decade, but what
it has yet to learn may well be in the
magnitude of a logarithmic progression of
what we know today.
Every investment in cancer research
produces something even if it is a nega
tive finding. But every positive result be
gets countless others. The best minds in
the country now concentrating on this
problem firmly believe that a solution will
be found. One way is by following every
promising hypothesis to its logical con
clusion. The millions of dollars now available for
cancer research are scarcely adequate to
finance even the most promising leads.

the board, gives the AUF

This was indeed an hon

interpreting the constitution

realized that if it was go

merely a "machine," which

it. This would be a rather
trivial job.
But having made this de
cisions, the AUF board
failed to realize the impli
cations what it had decided.
This meant that if an emer
gency request should be
made, the board would
have to decide the merit of
it and base their decision
upon this. Such an emer
gency request had been
made, by the S. C. C, that
University students might
have the opportunity to give
their support to students
demonstrating in the South,
who are trying to call the
nation's attention to the in
equality in which the Negro
is forced to live. WTiat was
the response of the A U F
board?
Probably one of the first
worries was the effect that
this might have on the at
titude of the students toward
AUF, if the group allowed
such a solicitation. Another
was how it might effect
A U F's drive next Fall.
Many worries arose along
this line, all of which real
ly stemmed back to the
the "organization" would
be effected, when the basis
of decision, after deciding
that they had the authority
should be on the merit of
the cause and the oppor
tunity which the students
should be given. "
This was not discussed.
There seemed to be little
interest in the problem for
which the request was
made, and even less infor
mation and understanding
whenever the problem was
suggested. The board didn't
seem to realize that this is
not simply a problem in the
South, but a problem which
tests our entire democratic
system and the intellectual
freedom of all students.
Now the only avenue of
raising money is that in
dividual students can bring
money to the YMCA-YWCA
office in the Student Union,
but with the lack of con
cern by University students
it is not difficult to see how
ineffective such a method
is.
Once again bureaucracy
has won out over the pur
pose for which it was in
tended; the concern of the
membership of an organiza
tion that their job be con
tinued and that their ef
forts be successful in the
eyes of the public has prov
en more important than
that they serve the purpose
for which they were organ

AUF Action
The AUF's action in not
giving the Student Christian
Council permission to so
licit funds for students dem
onstrating against racial
discrimination was the most
pathetic example of student
integrity and intelligience
that I have ever witnessed
on this campus.
After two and one half
hours of "parliamentary"
chaos, one doubted if the
group realized that the
rules they were using were
originally intended to pre
serve order. After shouting
spasmodic objections, such
as, "What will the student
body think of us?", "The
Student Council will rule
us out of existence!", and
"How could this benefit or
harm AUF?", no one could
seriously believe that this
was an organization formed
to meet other people's
needs. And, finally, after
voting on seven motions,
acting incorrectly on four
"call for questions," with
drawing three motions, and
reading the constitution
through twice, the AUF
voted "No!" to a need that
strikes at the very roots of
the rights which they were
exercising.
Not once ... did the
AUF ask themselves if they
could fulfill a need by shar
ing in this program to gain
equal rights for the Negro!
Not once! ... did AUF
ask themselves if they
shared in the responsibility
to establish, for all the peo
ple, the rights endowed to
us by our nation's heri
tage. Hundreds of colleges and
universities across the na
tion have given to meet
the legal expenses incurred
by the students staging non
violent demonstrations or
equality. But one group at,
the University of Nebraska
said "No!" For many rea
sons it is true, but not one,
of them centered around the
fundamental issue. That is,

whether they, as the offi
cial solicitating body on this
campus should meet this
need and whether they as
individuals of an academic
community were intelli
gently responsible enough
to share in-the concern of
their southern colleagues!
One sincerely hopes that
this group is not represent
ative of the attitude,
thought, and ability to act
of the students at U. of N.
And when such a situation
arises again, asking
whether or not we are a
