EDITORIAL OPINION
Registrar Infected
By Military Bug
"Uh, Oh! Vxa going to be late to my 0S0Q.
This may be a frequent cry of chronic oversieepers
next semester as another step in "The Case of the Con
fused Student versus Dr. Hoover" is added to the already
snafu setup of registration ad causeum.
We refer to the new class schedule hook that goes
into effect this coming semester. Presented without future
warning to the student body, by way of the Student Coun
cil it calls for the listing of class hours by the military
system, or 0100 through 24C0. So don't g?t excited, girls,
if you see li o'cloeks in your schedule book. It is all a
plan to see that you are subject to the rigors of militar
ism along with the men in ROTC.
Also, as part of the latest automation, prerequisities
have been removed to "eliminate errors" in registering.
What it all boils down to is that if a mistake is made
under the new system, you can blame your adviser rather
than take the blame yourself. Look for a run on college
catalogues, shortly.
We will admit to one improvement in the new arrange
ment Remember the long string of white cards? Well,
the fellow that used the information has finished his book
and we can get by with only one "bear down"" slip. There
are 123 copies to bear down on, but we'll make it
George Orwell fcadat seen anything when he wrote
1964. We're already there and it's only lifcW. In a few years
too can expect students to be known only by their IBM
number. Professors wiH recognize us in class as Mr. or
Miss 39647. etc
Actually, our big gripe is that this policy is made
without consulting the students for their reaction. It is
for us that the University exists and we would - like to
know of changes, such as the one we have just discussed,
before they go into effect Who knows, the new system
may be for the better. I doubt it, but even if it was, the
real issue is that we deserve to know what is coming our
way before it bits us. -

Oct preaching may not nave had any bearing, bat

were foreign students, this is mot dijowraging. since
al!y recently the problem f convincing these students

As is the problem with any organization in its infant
stage, the N1A faces a rough road in attracting fresh
ideas to keep its nucleus off members interested and ac

Just A
Nebraska isn't as bad off
as some people may think.
Last week at a college
newspaper session most of
the "problems that face
this campus didn't even
reach the floor during the
discussion periods.
Most of the editors were
discussing their campus's
battle against the Greeks or
the Independents or the
problems of integration.
One school sa!d that their
major problem was the fact
tbat the works of a contro
versial author had been'
banned from his campus.
The author's works, inci
dentally are accepted here
at the University with no
criticism.
In connection with the
Greek - Independent prob
lem, many schools were
ready to admit that they
had problems, although the
degree of the problem pro
vided most of the discus
sion. Many schools said they
print the calendar of each
of the Greeks. listing their
meeting times, social
events, etc.
One fellow from Rochest
er University in New York
said that he had no prob
lem with the Greeks. He
just refused to print any
thing about them, as far as

the calendar was concerned.
The student body took a
referendum and defeated
this editor. Although he still
refused to print any of the
day by day reports of the
Greeks, he satisfied his
readers with a weekly pre
sentation of "A Week with
the Greeks," an interesting
little item printed on the
editorial page. The high
light of the article was the
fact that it was written in
Greek
Another interesting point
brought out at one of the
meetings was the discus
sion on freedom of the press
and supressioa of the news.
Once again, we Nebras
kans do not seem to have to
face a problem such as this.
In the east there was much
discussion about adminis
tration controlled newspa
schools of journalism and
salaries are paid to the
staff in the form of credit
hours. W ith this sort of set
up, it would seem that the
faculty of the school of jour
nalism would be able to cen
sor the content of the school
newspaper.
After hearing the prob
lems that face the campus
editors through out the coun
try it appears that Nebras
ka in its own pacify
ing ways, is not so bad off
after all.
