Campus Charity Drivel
Focuses on Faculty
Today the All University Fund faculty drive will ex-
tend an open palm to the alms of those who teach us.
This AUF solicitation is the only student organized
faculty philanthropic drive on campus. We hope that
our academic guides give charitably and unselfishly
And wisely.
To quote Henry David Thoreau, "There is no odor so
bad as that which arises from goodness tainted. If 1 knew
for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with
the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for
my life ..."

So we hope that faculty members and students, past
and present give only because of c desire to do so, and
not because to do so is desirous.
And as a supplementary note, it is unfortunate that
the constantly-deemed underpaid faculty is caught be-
tween civic solicitation and AUF. -
Students encounter only one philanthropic drive
AUF. But sadly neglected salaries of professors and in-
structors feel the obligation and solicitation of community
and University giving.
We understand your plight of double jeopardy, fac-
ulty. The "apple for teacher" move is twice reversed.
But we encourage you to give what you feel possible to
AUF, keeping in mind Mr. Thoreau but we don't ask
that you force yourself to Walden economics. D.S.

WElL,
Barnstorming feels that a
voice from the fifth estate
need be heard on the trans
portation problem to and
from Ag campus.
According to report
submitted to Student Coun
cil last week from the Ag
Nebraska Builders, there
are some S7S agriculture
students who live someplace
other than on Ag campus
either on the downtown
campus, in Lincoln or in
the area surrounding Lin
coln. Several matters concern
ing this transportation bottle-neck
are starting to snow
ball into a
crisis. First,
there is the
weather.
This state is
plagued
with one of
the most
and un-predict
able c 1 i- Forrest
mates of any state in the
union. In the words of an Ag
student, "It's very frustrat
ing to wait on the bus stop
for 30 minutes during cold,
wet weather."
This brings us to another
concern of commuting Ag
students. The system of
transportation between the
two campuses presently
provided by the Lincoln City
Bus Lines has increased the
problem since they recently
cut down the frequency of
buses to and from the cam
puses. According to the Builders
report, the buses only run
very half hour, and their
schedules fluctuate a great
deal m&Ving it virtually
impossible many times to
reach classes at scheduled
times. One Ag student was
ouoted by the report as say
ing, "The present system
wouldn't be quite so bad if
the bust ran according to
tiie schedule they have set
up. But they don't!"
Several remedies have
been proposed to solve this
transportation problem be
sides buying a car. Just a
few weeks ago the Ag
Executive Council an
nounced that the proposal
to build a heated bus stop
shelter on Ag campus had
been scraped because of the
Lincoln City Bus Lines' plan
to move the bus stop from
its present location to the
vicinity of the Nebraska
Center for Continuing Edu
cation. , Yes, Ag students will not
only have t& stand out in
the weather, but will also be
forced to walk through the
elements to the bus stop in
front of the Center. The rea
son for this, according to an
Ag exec board representa
tive, was thai the City Lines
felt that more people will
be going to and from the
Center than Ag campus.
Dream on, City Bus Lines!
The latest solution was the
report by Ag Builders, which
received Student Council en
dorsement last week, pro
posing a special transporta

tion system between the
campuses in accordance
with class schedules for the
use of students and faculty
only.
The proposal tatflir for the:
University to make arrange
ments with the City Bus
Lines to provide the buses
for this special transporta
tion system and eventually,
if possible, for the Univer
sity to provide these buses
if an adequate arrangement
with the City Bus Lines does
not work out.
In addition, the proposal
makes plans for these spe
cial buses to travel around
the campuses and would
make stops at such strate
gic spots as the Ag and city
Unions.
The Ag Builders suggest
ed that consideration be
given to the idea that "sea
son tickets" be sold for bus
transportation. A hole
would be punched in the
ticket by the bus driver for
each bus ride.
According to the plan this
would serve two purposes:
Many students are in
favor of a lower cost per
ride than the present
charges (15c). The sale of
season tickets might make
a slightly reduced cost to
students and faculty feasi
ble.' If students were ap

proached early in the j'ear
with season tickets at a re-
duced rate, students should
be more likely to buy them
thus assuring the success of
the system.

proposal was sent to the of
fices of the Dean of the Ag
riculture College and Resi
dent Instruction, to the As
sistant to the Chancellor ant
to the Chancellor for con
sideration and approval.
Barnstorming knows that
. this plan by the Ag Build
ers depends on the budget
and making arrangements
" w 1th the City Bus Lines, but
it is hoped that the proposal
will be considered by the
v Administration in the light
of the existing transporta
tion problem and that it can
go into effect next falL
Barnstorming 'would like
to go on the record in favor
of this proposal for two rea
sons: 1. It would allow students
to travel with greater ease
and comfort on a more de
pendable system.
2. The teaching and con
ducting of classes on "both j
campuses would be more i
congruent with the number 1
of students not in class be- ;

duced and the elimination
ot class interruption from
the entrance of tardy stu
dents due to late buses.

two uses for the money:
.1). As the charter con
tribution to a fund which
is to be used in purchas- j
ing a new husk for our j
Cornhusker. Or, as a less
desirables (but needed) al- ,
ternative . j
2). The washing and i
perha'ps d y e i n g of the
present costume. This
would certainly freshen
the Cornhusker s appear
ance and perhaps improve
the fan's attitude toward
the mascot.
I hope my concern is not
singular on campus.
R. H. jWcKnight
Ferae Naturae
QUAERE
I propose that the Uni
versity hold an all campus
referendum on the follow
ing subject: Resolved that
the honorary society named
Innocents ' (mortar boards)
be abolished and the names
of all former members be
deleted from back files of
the Daily Nebraskan.
None of the members of
this campus could object to
this. The present members
could certainly not object
to it for all of them did
not do any of the things
which got them into the or
ganization solely in order
to get in just ask them.
Similarly only one mem
ber of the current aspirants
feelings would be hurt as
she is the only one who
will confess any interest in
or indeed any knowledge of
the organization. She will
not be damaged as she will
not get in. Honesty does not
go unrewarded.
It can be argued of
course that such a proposal
is undesirable because it
would deprive many, many
queens of escorts and knock
out some of the traditional
activities. It is here that
fny warped mind becomes
apparent I am coming
out against these also-later.
I must admit that the In
nocents have shown a cer
tain amount of sagacity
lately as they have invented
a new program to get them
in" with the local capital
ists. This is a step in the
right direction as I am sure
that will be more interest
ing than cavorting with the
members of the boards.
Now the boards need to
form a group which will
meet with successful local
wifes, sweethearts, school
teachers, etc. I am not go
ing to venture to say how
one measures a wife's suc
cess, of course.
I feel that the Daily Ne
braskan should launch a
new crusade to go along
with its famous tirades on
open tribunal and student
council meetings. I feel that
the Rag should demand
that Student Union board
meetings publish thier fa
mous union bymns and put
out a liturgy book so that
we may all know what mys
terious essence it is t h a t
these wierd folk worship so
heavily.
Dear patient reader (note
singular) I win now explain
myself. I would like to see
a change in the attitude of
this campus so that it is
not a general opinion that
one is a failure if he en
deavors to engage in cam
pus activities and is n o t
made a member of the so
ciety. Many, many persons who
are not members of this so

ciety have done outstantf'r;
things and so very few o(
them can be chosen 0 u t
standing Nebraskan to coin
pensate them for their
losses. It should be recoj;.
nized that election to this
society is an election to an
elite club, but not an offi
cial choosing to be a mem
ber of the outstanding sen
ior (men) women of this
campus.
Perhaps two others clubs
could be formed of out
standing leaders cr workers
who did not make it into
the elite group. This group
could be known as the al
most innocent or the mor
tar and pestle society or
some such things.
The Innocents little coali
tion group going downtown
is an excellent idea,- but I
hope that they speed up
their program to expand it.
As currently organized it is
a very selfish thing indeed
and an example of the im
mense quantities of raw
conceit and power that
members of this group
have.
The final portion of the
column is devoted to those
members of the board Mho
demand that members of
the Union not only devote
themselves to being good
workers and leaders for the
Union but also demand hat
they hypocritically and con
tinually carry on a series
of small prayers and reiter
ations that their hearts and
minds are pure and that
they are doing this only out
of the spirit of idealism.
It is paradoxical that one
of the most corrupt groups
politically on campus ac
cording to campus gossip
has always been AUF and
that yet its drives and its
general spirit are highly
altruistic, especially when
contracted to the greedy
Philistines that run the
downtown gimme club. In
contrast Union members
who engage in power poli
tics and hypocrisy as well
as running a fine Union
are continually surrounded
by hymns, hosannas, and
baby blanket lint.
