EDITORIAL OPINION
From the Editor:
A Liberal View
By Herb Probasco
Front page Wednesday
headlined a story, "Vaca
tion Invitations Unfilled,
Foreign Students Question
Sincerity." Immediately
below the story was an
' other headline, "Interna
tional Association Forms
Sunday."
The explanation of the
former was that a number
of invitations from families
in Beatrice, Henderson and
Lincoln, were extended to
foreign students, to spend
the holiday in the homes of
these families. Uncertainty
as to the sincerity of the
invitations was given as a
possible reason for the
lack of acceptances by the
foreign students.
The timeliness of this
story with that of the plans
for the forming of an in
ternational group, com
posed of both foreign and
American students inter
ested in the exchange of
ideas, would seem to indi
cate that the foreign stu
dents may have some rea
son for their skepticism
about the sincerity of the
Thanksgiving invitations.
One thing is certain.
They haven't formed this
opinion on the basis of feel
ings against the persons
extending the invitations.
If they have reason to
doubt their sincerity, it is
because they doubt the sin
cerity of students on this
campus. And if they have
formed such an opinion of
us, they have done so with
considerable foundation. We
have done little to make

By Dick Masters
Never before in the his
tory of Nebraska has such
an horrendous undertaking
been undertaken. Never be
fore has anything been so
worthy of consideration.
Soon a project rivaling the
Selleck Parking Lot will be
underway.
With shaking hands and
fluttering heart, the SATYR
awaits the construction of
the Nebraska Union Christ
mas Display. My children,
the festive season brought
to our very door by the long
and perserving diligence of
a few busy hands and ac
tive minds. (UNI job pool
might supply the hands but
the minds are still a mys
tery). Perhaps, little friends,
you too have spent sleep
less nights t r y i n g to en
vision the Union front In
the mind's eye of the
SATYR (and my mind's eye
is almost as bloodshot as
the ones you see every day)
huge Santas and hundreds
of elves are busily con
structing goodies for the lit
tle kiddies in the World
University Service. At times
a gigantic manger with real
animals (comparable to
Mike Brown) flashes in full
panorama across my sub
conscious.
Now it may be, for I
have seen those calloused
and hardened individuals
lurking everywhere, that
you are not interested in
projecting the Christmas
Spirit into our day to day
existence. It is you that I
must strike out against.
(Children, these are the
same few that profess the
sins of alcohol, song and
riotous living.)
Our society is constantly
endangered by anti-Christmas,
anti-AUF, anti-Administration,

these students a part of
the campus.
Sunday we will know how
deep this feeling lies in the
minds of the foreign stu
dents. That evening those
who are interested in form
ing an international organ
ization will meet to discuss
the proposed plan. A small
turnout of foreign students I
will indicate that they are
skeptical also of this plan j
for such an organization.
Likewise, small turnout of j
American students will in- j
dicate that the foreign stu
dent still has good reason
for being skeptical.
These students aren't
looking for charity and
sympathy because they
have darker skins or speak
with an accent They want
to be Cornhuskers just like
you and me. They want to
be treated like your fra
ternity brother or sorority j
sister, even though t h e y i
can't be one.
Rather than make this a j
complete indictment of the j
American student, I think I
the foreign student needs j
to meet us halfway on this i
problem. There is a desire, j
on1 I trnnfc it ie sinrere :
on the part of many Amer-
ican students to make the
foreign student a more
integral part of the college
community.
With these ideas to go on,
it is hoped hat something
constructive will come of
the organizational meeting
of the International Asso
ciation Sunday and a more :
unified campus of foreign i
and American students;
alike will develop.
Satyi
tions. These fiendish out
laws rear their ugly heads
in our midst on every occa
sion. Beware!
WelL enough of this. I
leave the subject with this
comment In the Beginning
was the Council and the
Council was with Good and
the Council was Good. So
don't stand around saying
nasty things about their
undertakings. If you per
sist, you slobs, youH find
yourself without an organi
zation to belong to.
Last night, the SATYR
pranced upon the lawn. All
the Muses, Nymphs, and
Sirens cavorted merrily be
fore the lecherous eyes of
Van Westover and his co
horts. Their intent is gain
ing a berth in the '61 Husk
er. These photoconscious
young lovelies (Numbering
six) will appear and be re
vealed cometh the spring.
Buy your Book now We
need party funds.
While commercials are
forthcoming, I will take this
opportunity to mention
"Damn Yankees." There,
I've done it. Keep this name
in the dark recesses of your
murky memories, kiddies.
If you can't afford a ticket,
(which is why so many of
us are in Kosmet Klub)
consider your chance to be
come a starlet or starling,
as the case may be.
The die has been cast,
but the Show hasn't. Watch
for details that will appear
from time to time. And
please don't pinch the Peter
Pan bread.
Word to the Wise: Don't
go to Malcolm on Sunday
evening anymore. Don't
pick up strangers and don't
take pledge pins' or paint
buckets home to your
abode. Everybody's watch
ingespecially the Big Eyes
in the Kremlin.

By Phil Boroff
j INHERIT THE WIND, a
i United Artists picture star
i nng Spencer Tracy, Fred-
ric March, Gene Kelly,
! Ricnard York, Donna An
: derson and Florence ' El
dridge. In the Scopes Trial of
1925, Clarence Darrow and
William Jennings Bryan
collided; in "Inherit the
Wind," Spencer Tracy and
F r e d r i c March collide.
Based on the play of the
same name, "Inherit the
Wind" skillfully recreates
the trial of the young Day
ton, Tennessee school
teacher who taught Charles
Darwin's theory of evolu
tion. Only names have been
changed.
Clarence Darrow is Hen
ry Drummond, William
Jennings Bryan is Mathew
Harrison Brady, John T.
Scopes is Bertram T,
Cates, and H. L. Menken
is E. K . Hornbeck. But,
regardless of the change
of names, "T h e Monkey
Trial" is still the powerful
contest between Darwin
and the Bible. It is now
the subject of one of the
finest films of 1960.
Fredrk March, two-time
Academy A- d winner, is
perfect as E y. The char
acteristics are complete.
Spencer Tracy, also a two
time Academy Award win
as Drummond. His per
suasion is most persuasive.
Both should be guaranteed
Oscar nominations for the
I960 'Best Actor' award.
Song and dance man
Gene Kelly is awkward as
Hornbeck, but Richard
York is fine as Cates.
Florence Eldridge, the
real-life Mrs. F r e d r i c
March, is excellent as Mrs.
Brady.
The black and white cine

As The Wril Teacheth
By John Riekes
There is a representative group of
excellent canasta players who every
Wednesday at 4:00 hold vital seminars
to discuss 6uch pertinent topics as
parking facilities, problems with 0'
of the faculty, and the ever present
problem of Library Hours.
This same group has been
designated the power to cope
and hanule almost any situation
that they feel is lacking, defunct,
antiquated or intolerable, and this
editor must admit that the parking problem
is definitely something to overcome.
Tiw Wisconsin Student Council did
away with ROTC, but we must admit
it is far better to recline or stellar
pyres and shed acid tears and unloved sighs
over Library Hours, which afterall
should play a definite role in .
Student Affairs.
We can also see that the Campus
Beautification Committee is or was
just a flowery equinox.
It is also of unparalleled importance
to have a Community Sing in A flat
concerning organizations in good
standing afterall who needs a calendar?
Twenty-seven is an odd number anyway.

CAN-CAN, a Twentieth

ring Frank Sinatra, Shir
ley MacLaine, Maurice
Chevalier, Louis Jourdan
and Juliet Prowse.
I first saw this picture
on the 'huge' Todd-AO
screen in a New York City
theatre this past August
It is certainly one of the
biggest disappointments of
current roadshow engage
ments. It's quite a bit
(over 2 hours) of nothing.
First, the film is a deg
redation of t h e burlesque
form, which is about as
amateurish as profession
als caa get Second, Frank
Sinatra and Shirley Mac
Laine are about as French
as Mkkey Mantle eating a
hot dog. Third, the Cole
Porter songs are crooned
by Sinatra, talked by Chev
alier, and m ordered by
gaudy costumes and sets
seem U get in the way,
especially during the could
be exciting moments of the
film (the can-can).
As Paris is Brooklyn,
"Can-Can" is filmusical.
BUTTERFIELD 8,
a Metro-Goldwyn-M a y e r
picture starring Elizabeth
Taylor, Laurence Harvey,
Eddie Fisher and Dina
Merrill.
John OUara's "Butter
field 8" is the story of Glo
ria Wandrons, New York
City playgui. It is the trag
edy of this young woman, .
of her moral irresponsibD
ity and of a love that be
gins with one of many
illicit affairs.
It's melodrama, but it's
good melodrama. The out
standing attribute of the
film is Elizabeth Taylor.
She delivers a strong per
formance that should give
her an Oscar nomination
for the fourth year in a
row.
Laurence Harvey, as the
married man Gloria loves,
Eddie Fisher, as Gloria's
constant friend, and Dina
Merrill, as Harvey's wife,
are unbelievable. Mildred
Dunnock, as Gloria's moth
er, Betty Field, as the cyn
ical neighbor, Kay Med
ford, as a motel proprie
tress and Susan Oliver, as
Fisher's girl friend, are all
more than competent
The color and costumes
are decorative. Cinematog
raphy is clear, and the en
tire production is techni
cally sharp.

Starting Today
Conservative Estimate
By John Hoerner
Pay to the Order of the
Student Body a great
big fat No Fund check.
If words were face
amounts and facts were
funds that would be my
conservative estimate of
the recent writings" of "G.
S.," Leon Gosip, H. W.
Shortfellow and others
who criticize the Student
Council the Council mem
bers and the Council's ac
tions without any concep
tion of what is actually go
ing on.
Legitimate criti
cism, such as that in the
editorial "A Liberal View"
on Tuesday, the Council
needs and invites, but when
would-be-rabble rousers like
Gosip and G.S. launch an
attack with no knowledge,
it is rather discouraging.
If all those who have
criticisms of . the Council
could manage to trundle
up to a meeting at 4 p.m.
on Wednesdays I'm confi
dent that they would re
ceive attention.
(Admittedly there is not
much chance of a person
who' is afraid to sign his
name to what he writes
speaking his views in pub
lic but we could always go
into "executive session.")
It's very easy to pick up
a pencil and write all your

criticisms, hand them in,
and then sit back and wait
for them to hit print and
watch the Council mem
bers squirm I question
whether or not the Coun
cil's brave critics would be
quite so debonair on the
Council floor where they
might possibly find an an-v
swer to their attacks and
an explanation of their mis
information. To get specific, "Gosip"
in his Tuesday masterpiece
blasts the Council for
"racking worthwhile cam
pus organizations" and in
the same breath suggests
that we "abolish" the All
University Fund and
"condemn" the Board of
Regents.
G.S. in relation to the
All University Open House
asserts boldly "Does this
prohibit the Council from
searching for a program to
replace the Open House
and sell our institution to
thousands of high school
students throughout the
state?" Good idea G.S.
Good idea that is ex
actly what the Council is
doing right now sorry
they couldn't come up with
a complete plan in a week
but then the work involved
isn't as easy as knocking
out an editorial without re
gard to facts.
