EDITORIAL OPIMOiN
Union Hostess Plan
iVeeds More Comment
About a week ago a questionnaire was sent to each
organized living unit on the campus. The purpose of the
questionaire was to sound out opinion concerning a new
addition to the Student Union.
The idea of having a hostess desk in the Union has
caused discussion on the part of the Activities Committee
of the Student Council and the Union Board of Managers.
A great deal of thought has been given to this idea
by these two groups. Now it is the student's time' to say i
what he or she thinks about it. I
The hostess would be able to give the student the
name of organization leaders, the meeting times or places h
of organized activities or even the name of a typist for
those soon-to-be-due term papers.
s
The biggest question seems to be financing the pro-
posal. Present plans call for the fnnds to come from the 3
University budget.
It would seem only fair that those activities or in-
dividuals who would use the desk for advertisement would
also help finance this idea.
Perhaps each organization could pay a pro-rated fee I
for the use of the desk. Individuals wishing to advertise
their talents could also pay a slight fee or even a small
- fractional share of their profits as a commission.
Information desks have been attempted at the Union
before and their success has been varied. During the
. State Basketball Tournament a desk was set up to inform
the multitude of high school students. In this case, the
idea seemed to pay off.
However, the question still remains as to the neces
sity of a full-time hostess desk. Either through this paper
or "the daily notices posted on the various bulletin boards
around the Union and the campus, students are able to
obtain most of the information which would be handled
by the proposed hostess desk.
The plan is just an idea. With student and faculty
comment and criticism, it may become a reality. On the
other hand, it may become another forgotten idea.
If you have any comment on the proposed hostess
desk, we urge you to jot them down and leave them at the
Student Council mailbox at the main desk in the Union.

Innocents Explain
Protege Program
To the editor,
Members of Innocents So
ciety have been approached
by a number of students
with questions concerning
the Cornhusker Proteges
project. We would like to
explain more fully the pur
poses and operation of this
program.
The idea behind the pro
gram is not new. When
Lincoln Air Force Base was
re-activated, Lincoln busi
nessmen teamed up to form
a "Buddy Group" with the
base personneL The par
pose of the Buddy Group
was to welcome the Air
Force men into the city of
Lincoln and to acquaint
them with community activ
ities. Recently, certain local
businessmen and University
officials revived the idea in
a new form. They felt that
if University students had
more of an opportunity to
learn about business and
professional opportunities in
Nebraska, less students
would be lost to other states
upon graduation. And, sec
ondly, if students were
given more help and guid
ance in the planning of their
careers, the students, the
University and the state
would benefit.
These ideas were d i s
cussed for several weeks
and the Cornhusker Prote
ges Project is the result.
Through this program
Lincoln businessmen and
students are paired off.
Each businessman will at
tempt to acquaint bis Pro
tege with, the physical plant
of bis business, with its op
eration and with his civic
activities.
The student, in torn, is
encouraged to invite the

J This split between the

I Farmers Union is apparent
in their reactions to t h e

On the other fide, Ken

plause from the delegates

Union convention and quick
endorsement from this farm
organization's leaders.
I A third wheel in the na

message to Congress "real-

istic and comprehensive."
The local master of t h e
State Grange, George Spi
dal, said, "I would not want
to appraise the President's
newest proposal until more
detail is available.
"A serious flaw in t h e
proposals would be to re
quire an affirmative vote of
65 per cent of the produc
ers. This would be unfair
and It would be impractica
ble." Spidal is speaking of the
requirement in the new Ag
plan that calls for a t w 0
thirds affirmative vote by
participants in support of
any proposed program.
This requirement, while
being democratic, may well
be impracticable if the
feuds between the various
farm organizations become
so volatile that the individ
ual members are not al
lowed to come to their own
conclusions and are forced
to vote "party" line.
This trend is seen in other
fields of organized labor
and could well cause a pro
gram to fail if the farm
groups don't smooth over
their differences.

By Jim Forrest
Pearle Finigan, State Di
rector of Agriculture, called
the proposal, "A great chal
lenge to the people in agri
culture." Faculty members on the
College of Agriculture cam
pus were taken back a bit
by the announced program,
but the consensus was
expressed by Prof. How
ard Ottoson, chairman
of agricultural economics
department, when he said,
"I can not give an accurate
opinion on the program un
til I've had time to study
it in more detail"
Because of its unexpect
edness the Kennedy plan
will occassion intense study
and widespread discussion,
but in the first reaction it
offers these possibilities:
an ultimate lowered
public tax cost,
a promising method
for controlling surpluses,
protection against hard-
eueu position oy any one
farm group or federal ad
ministration, a rise in prices of
ricultural commodities
the consumer market.

on ON CAMPUS
listening keenly to my clock
radio giving forth with the
eloquent and masterful
words of the one and only
idol of the podium Oral
Roberts, I began to ponder
what eloquent and master
ful words I could deliver to
my bleary-eyed readers on
this magnificent Monday
morning.
And I came up with much
the greater portion of my
day questioning friends, rel
atives, passers-by, and nod
ding acquaintances about
their favorite subjects, and
came up with quite a stag
gering list of topics which
I could pursue, crusade,
stomp and scream about, or
merely mention.
The list begins with the
Greeks, a subject which I
have been informed repeat
edly is overplayed. Of
course apathy crept in, and
since most people couldnt
care less about the apathyv
situation, I'll forget it. One
person told me to talk about
the weather, which I deem
a most excellent conversa
tion starter. I was told to
crusade for seniors being
excused from finals, which 1
I think is a fine plan and
should be immediately in
stituted for those planning
one day to be graduated
from these hallowed halls.
I was told to rip apart
the protege program, but I
haven't had a chance to in
vestigate the idea far
enough to really decide
whether I think it's good
or bad. Xeedless to say, the
Innocents are quite needled
to think that Quare's
scourge has been placed
upon the plan. I was asked
to discuss the possibilities
of a similar program being
provided somewhat through
the University Home Man
agement program. I was
told by my superiors that I
could not talk about com
munism; therefore, I will
not talk about communism.
I was asked to pick a fight
with another Rag columnist,
but most of us seem to be
in enough hot water for the
time being. I could write
about the African situation,
the crisis in Laos, Fidel
Castro, Kennedy's Peace
Corps, ptoriasis rosaesis,
sub rosa rush week, or so
rority initiation. Shall we
go into the benefits of the
Aid-to-Education program
and inbreeding?
I was asked to crusade
for an auditorium for the
University, which would
seat around 1500 people and
where all University-sponsored
events such as con
certs, plays, foreign films,
convocations, mvstic ritu-

way, this column's next ap

with a New York City date

exit from the .Midwest in
search of greener pastures,
sometime next week.

list of topics within reason

I find myself in a quandary
