Africa's Education
Lack Frightening
Commenting on his recent visit to Africa, Chancellor
Clifford M. Hardin noted the lack of higher educational
facilities for the huge population of that continent
t
He cited four territories, one of which will become a
state in the near future, that have a total population of
over 22,000,000, but have only two schools comparable to
the American university, plus one smaller college.
This in a land that someday will become one of the
great powers in the world. Only last week, 13 more
oi its countries were admitted to the United Nations.
With illiteracy as high as it is in Africa, the continent is
ripe for Communist propaganda.
The Congo is only the beginning of what we will wit
ness on the "dark continent" as countries not prepared
to govern themselves are given independence. With all
the tribalism that still exists, it is nearly impossible for a
country to unite.
Through educational programs such as that participated
in by Chancellor Hardin, this country is gaining ground to
save these countries from totalitarianism. In addition,
more action by the government in technical assistance is
seeded if another Cuba on a much greater scale is to be
prevented-
Or Else
By John Else
Freshman! You have ar
rived, you have begun, but
have you stopped long
enough to ask yourself why
you are here? If you fall
in the category of the ma
jority of freshman (and
heaven only knows you
would not want to be iden
tified as a non-conformist!),
you have not taken this
"pause that refreshes." I
recently talked with a vet
eran who returned to school
this year with a pur
pose. He related to me how
he had come to college
fresh out of high school:
he had no purpose, no mo
tive actually no real rea
son for coming to college
except that it was the step
that followed the step be
fore and he did not want to
fall off the ladder of suc
cess. He had performed just
about as poorly as most of
yea will perform this year.
He dropped out of school,
as many of you will drop
out (or be asked to leave),
and entered the service.
Now he has returned
with a purpose; and any
one can see that he has a
purpose.
The contemptuous dem
onstrations of Friday night
exemplify your lack of pur
pose, your lack of thought
in an institution to which
you supposedly came for
that very reason. And yet
the annual repetition of the
first football rally demon
strates that your main error
was not so much your ac
tion as your lack of inde
pendent thought These do
not occur each year be
cause each pledge class is
so much alike, but rather
because each is pointed in
a given direction by actives
who came to college with
out a purpose and have
found none in their "resi
dence." Our University can be a
dynamic and prophetic in
stitution OR ELSE it can
become a den of conformity
and a cemetery of intellec
tual stagnation. Asking the
question, "Why am I here?"
and then answering it by
independent thought is the
only way in which the mo
tivation necessary to make
this institution one of true
education. The facilities are
here; how they are used is
the result of the goals of the
student body, and you. as a
freshman, are one of the
most important elements in
determining the total goaL
Make it a meaningful one!

The recent campaigning
and resultant enthusiasm;
sometimes fanaticism, on
campus and around the na
tion has brought about
much confusion and bewild
erment in the minds of
many an aspiring young po
litical supporter. These
young people see and hear
conflicting platforms, prom
ises, debates, and stereo
typed candidates.
After studying policies,
records, achievements, and
claims (or promises) of
each major party, one
learns nothing and expects
iess. In such circumstances
political parties like to es
tablish youth organizations
on campus, as collegiates
are easily led into member
ship for the sake of mem
bership. For the confused but
"discriminating," the per
son with so eye to the fu
ture, we understand a new
party is in operation this
year. This new party is not
to be confused with the
short-lived outgrowth of the
Democratic Party beaded
by States-Rights Southern
ers; running on the plat
form of, "Ignore the Su
preme Court Decision, we
can dremnveni the Consti
tution. Rather, this organi
zation is called The Young
People's Party, and was
formerly known as "The
Abraham Lincoln Brigade."
It has been reorganized
and placed under new lead
ership, and is now waiting
with open arms to encom
pass the multitudes.
The "People's" candidate
is a handsome, young, tal
ented person who has an
excellent foreign record. He
is also a devoted student
of Huxley. (This obviously
eliminates the religious con
troversy.) The "Young People's
Party' invites ail those in
terested to their next meet
ing. Stickers, Hero Medals,
Buttons, Badges, Cossack
Hats, and enlightening lit
erature will be distributed
without regard to value, te
stes d of a "S25 WEL
COME" the Inner Commit
tee has decided that in
such circumstances a brand
cret Code Ring would be
ret Code Ring would be
a more treasured momenta.
The Inner Committee
realizes and accepts the
fact that 75 per cent of
the membership are not of
voting age. (Confused minds
yield profitable pockets).
So, if your bouse is push
ing you into activities, or
if you would like to join
another secret organization,
then "Young People's" is
for yon.
However, it is our opin
ion that if you are interest
ed, a trip to the Federal
Building would save them
work.

I The 1960 presidential elec
tion isn't an intercollegiate
I debate.

flhe presiden

IMondav evening.
1 Never before have the
1 American people been able
to see the major presidential
icandidates face to face in a
fpublic debate. And if the Re
publicans have anything to
say about it, Monday's co
mpearance will be the last
time.
Kennedy had a ready an
swer to every barb and ques
tion. He explained why somei
naior legislation had failed;
ito become law during me
Irump session of the Con
fgress. He outlined his views
on aid to education logically.
iHe contrasted the Republican
Iview with the dynamic Demo
Icratic view. He dispelled the
loom-mongers' concept of
Democrats as big spenders.
Nixon was still harping on
F D R. and, to my way of
Ithinking. demonstrated that
f tne G.O.P. looks back rather
Ithan ahead. Nixon made ex
fcuses, rather than facing the
f realities of the questions
posed by the newsmen.
He dodged the question of
I his experience (since that
5 seems to be the Republican
ft.heme song this year). A re
porter pointed out that Mr.
1 Eisenhower had said on Au
gust 24 that he couldnt think
of a major decision Nixon
Ihad helped him make.
Nixon said Ike was just
I joking. (Big joke, Ike.) But
fNixon never went on to tell
lone major decision he had
Imade.
The keynote of the entire
f debate was the single state
ment each man made regard
ling the conservation pro-
gram.
Mr. Nixon said it would
f-Tjst too much and America
had to balance the budget
f.a dream which, incidentally,
like and his braintrusters
ihavfe never realized).
Mr. Kennedy said that
Isuch 9 program would even
fmally pay for itself and was
fan investment in the future
greatness of the United
f States. That's a realistic ap
fproach to the problem, now,
I isn't it?
I The debate is over. Both
icandidates have made their
fmark on the history books as
being firsts in such a mo
Hmentous adventure. Mr. Ken
nedy's mark is clear and ef
5iecuve. Mr. ixon s mark is
frather like a glob of squash
left on the menu at the Lin-
icoln HoteL

I This Morrison-Cooper bat
ue is getting better every
day from the Democrats
point of view.
1- During the past week, two
I members of the Board r,f
Regents have said that Coop-
ers attempt to intimidate
them over the Bernstein af
fair was reprehensible. Neith
er Regent is a Democrat.
Cooper's other gimmick,
trying to discredit Morrison
by attempting to mix him up
in some "labor scandal" has
backfired. If Cooper were
half the man he would like
to be, he would have bowed
out of that allegation grace
fully Instead, he curtsied
like an elephant.
Here's an incidental note.
If Gov Burney is so interest
ed in cutting governmental
expenses, why doesn't he
start with the mansion, and
make Beaver and wife live
off someone other than the
beleagured Nebraska taxpayer?

actually give instruction on
what to look for in diamonds

Even though modem electronic computers work at al
most unbelievable speeds, the scientist is way ahead
of them.
Put quite simply, scientists have been thinking up com
plex problems faster than even the fastest computers
could handle them. To close this gap, IBM created
STRETCH, the world's fastest, most powerful computer.
The first STRETCH system will go to the AEC at Los
Alamos to aid in nuclear reactor design. This goliath can
do a million additions or subtractions a second. It can
"read" the equivalent of four million characters per
minute from magnetic tape, tt can print the equivalent
of three good-sized novels every hour. It can perform
ail these operations simultaneously, and if necessary
IBM will interview on
Oct. 19 fir 20
pause midway in the problem and tackle a more im
portant one.
Creating such tools and putting them to work for scK
ence or for business, industry, or government is ex
citing, important work. It calls for talents and skills of
every kind, from liberal arts to Boolean algebra to astro,
physics.
So whatever your particular talents and skills, there
may be just the kind of job at IBM you've always wanted.
The IBM representative will be visiting your campus this
year. Why not ask him about it? Your placement office
can make an appointment. For further information about
opportunities at IBM, write, outlining your background
