Conscience of Liberal (Continued from Page 2) it is me siuaent. au tne stuaent wants to do is repose in some ambiguous position and observe the lack. Yet. on the other side you hear those studuents say that they want to go i-ast or West where there is some excitement, where things are Dooming, bursting, and almost blind ing. The same can be true here. ''Perhaps the problem begins at the beginning. Is there a culture in America and is it unique? Not long ago I spent several frustrating hours explaining to an Indian friend of mine from New Delhi that this is true. He kept saying, nowever, tnat he had asked some of his classmates about American culture and whether it was different from the cultures on the Continent and they, in callow, charming, rather nonchalant tones, said no, America has no real culture. I was shocked, first, because my Indian friend was quite convinced that the Americans were ugly and, second, that any American could utter such a thing. Van Wyck Brooks, Willa Cather, the Pounds, plus countless other scholars, writers, and international figures siy that we do have a culture. America is teeming with challenge, . stimulation, culture, science, they say, however, one would never realize this after seeing the majority of stu dents mumbling platitudes, thinking in terms of banali ties. "And banalities they are for t h e r e is not the original thought, the vigor that should go with collegiate life. Cam pus life is not even really progressive. We must live in the world today, not Lincoln, Nebraska. "I think it is high time that something be done with this calculated inadequacy, this insulated environment and the only way to begin, since the home and the high school did not provide the spirit, the challenge nor the exposure, is to say, "Why don't you mature, why don't you prove to the foreign students, who are your guests, that we are not ugly? Why don't you prove to yourself that you are alive with goals, alive and learning?" "In April ten Russian students are comine here. Are vou going to show them the television set and tell them that this America? If you do then you are false. I dare you to go to the art gallery and see the show there or go to the Montgomery Lectures on Bacon or go to the concerts on Sunday at Student Union or go to the International Buf fets and meet some interesting people and enjoy some ex quisite food. I dare you, you just might grow up or be come a Dit intellectual, i leave with a smile." One of the salient points which have not been mentioned about Christy and George is that they are both members of a special program committee under the Union Talks and Topics group. Christy, who is chairman of this com mittee, says that the program's intended purpose is two fold, that it is "to make Americans realize their influence in the world and to make Americans more conscious of their role as world citizens." The rest of the committee is composed of a universal cross-section of outstanding stu dents. The group have given one rehearsal program at the Union and will soon initiate a series of forum talks to be delivered to all the campus living units. To the preceding introduction of these two students, I would like to add my personal endorsement of their ef forts. To borrow a phrase of George's "it is high Luie" that, when we Americans have to "Americanized" by those in the world who see our "Ugly American" side most clearly, then we should question any presence of any American ideals. Or else we should question whether we are truly representing our nation's spirit or whether the smallness, the bigot, in all of us is striving to keep the East and West from the necessary and inevitable meeting. 0t1'. if ..j(i(wiirffs''"',,"-'0v .-j .. .

Senator, Son Build NU -Unicameral Chain State Sen. M. M. Forrester of Anselnio and his inventor son, Jay, have provided an other link in the chain of Uni versitv-Unicameral relations. Jay, who graduated from the University with a degree in electrical engineering in 1939, has used his talents ,to improve the "electronic brain." His magnetic core memory device has been revealed as "one of the biggest potential money-makers among recent campus discoveries." This core, experts say, adds significantly to the speed and flexibility of computer data processing equipment. Computers, now louna ai nearly every major univer sity Including Nebraska, solve long complicated problems in a very short time. Thus, present research is speeded up, and new areas ate opened for probing. The University's computer system, however, uses, a tape recorder memory device and it will be a few years before finances permit purchase of Forrester's improved magnet ic core. . Forrester, a partner on his father's cattle ranch near An selmo, is currently Professor of Industrial Management at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As a graduate student and staff member at MIT, he pio neered in the science of servo mechanisms and was later responsible for the design and construction of Whirlwind, an early digital computer. He also guided the techni cal design of the Air Force SAGE system for continental air defense. Problem Of The Week KntiuarM kr PI Ms Eosiloa NsUmmi Mslhemstlos Honorary Fraternltr Dorothy, Jean, Virginia, Bill, Jim, and Tom are six young persons who have been close friends from their child hood. They went through high school and college together, and when they finally paired off and became engaged noth ing would do but a triple, an nouncement party. Naturally thev wanted to break the news to their friends in an unusual fashion, and after some thought they decided upon this scheme. At just the right moment during the party everyone was given a card bearing the cryptic information: Who now are six will soon be three, And gaily we confess it, But how we've chosen you ' may know No sooner than you guess it Tom, who is older than Jim, is Dorothy's brother. I Jim and Jean are together! as old as Bill and Dorothy. : Virginia is the oldest girl. The total of each couple-to-be is the same although no two of us are the same age.
