EDITORIAL
Issues Cause Reader I
Reaction . . . Sometimes
In the past three days the Daily Nebraskan mailbox
has been crammed full with letters from readers giving
their opinions on the current FM radio situation.
As Steve Gage reported in his column Friday, KFMQ, 1
Lincoln's only FM radio station, has run into difficulties I
and has been forced to cut their broadcasting time.
We are very happy to receive the mail on this issue,
especially letters written by the students and faculty of
the University. ,
This is the first occasion in a long time that the Ne-
braskan has heard so much on any issue. The faculty
letters were the biggest shock.
,5
sit seems strange to us that the faculty members I
didn't have more comment on the two incidents which
occurred last week. Namely, the investigating agency
which places their "spies" In classrooms and the case
of Henry St. Onge.
3
Perhaps it is easier to comment on something you s
enjoy, but what could have happened if there would have
been a Henry St. Onge case on this campus?
Today, more than ever before, the basic freedoms of
the individual are drawing more and more comment. 1
We most speak out against infractions of these rights
before we lose more gruond.
If the citizens of this country are ever forced to
muzzle their opinion, we will have lost one of the corner
stones of democracy.
Surely, you as professors and students, have formed
opinions about issues other than KFMQ. Why not voice
these opinions or write letters to us and let the paper
voice them. 1
I
It may be spring, but we can never let a season of
the year clow down the efforts and thoughts of the indi-
vidual. 1

World Herald
Clarifies Statement
To the editor,
In the Nebraskan of Tues
day, May 9, you published
a letter written by Henry
St Onge to the students of
the Wayne State Teachers
College. A part of one para
graph said: "According to
John Reeves of the Omaha
World, I have been named
in a sworn deposition as a
Communist and a 'support
er of every Communist
cause. The charge is a li
bel, which the World will
find out if they print it."
There is no John Reeves
In any editorial or news de
partment of the World-Herald
and in the approximate
ly 40 years I have worked
here there never has been.

On Radio Issue
To the editor,
It has been with regret
and concern that I recently
learned that Lincoln's FM
station, KFMQ is catting its
air hours. It would seem to
me that many advertisers
could benefit from this sta
tion. I understand that the pub
lic is already responding
with a desire for quality en
tertainment. Therefore, our
business houses accordingly
should see fit to support the
quality station Mr. Burton
and his associates have
striven these past years to
supply. They have been suc
cessful too, as thousands in
this fine city have appreci
ated the programs this sta
tion promotes.
Emma Jane Wilder
To the editor,
We greatly enjoy KFMQ
and think also that it is one
of the cultural assets of Ne
braska and especially of
Lincoln. We hope you will
support it.

OPINION
time program over KFMQ.
Hope an adjustment will be f
made.
Mrs. Dale Dawson
To the editor,
Please prolong the hours I
of service over KFMQ. Keep 1
up the good work. To short-1
en the time allotted now
would be a calamity. I
Mrs. Arthur Imigl
To the editor, s
I enjoy KFMQ radio, and
would miss it greatly if it I
went off the air. i
Mrs. Byron H. Mason
To the editor,
It is indeed heartening to I
find that University students
are interested in good mu-
sic and are concerned about I
the survival of KFMQ. Oth-1
er people of Lincoln should
let themselves be heard and I
not allow this FM station, I
with its excellent program- f
ming, 10 sup away trom us.

Tempero Commends
Council-Rag Relations
To the editor:
Even thought I am writ
ing only for myself, I'm sure
that I am expressing the
feelings of the "old" Stu
dent Council when I com
mend you for the effort you
made and congratulate you
on the success realized in
Council- Nebraskan re 1 a
tions. As Council Presi
dent, I greatly appreciated
the increased cooperation
between the Council and the
Rag this semester.
While I am sure that Tom
Eason's and RAM's efforts
and increased Council ac
tivity this year helped in
turning out the record vote,
last week, much of the
credit for this achievement
must go to the Rag. More
space was devoted to candi
dates' platforms and Council
topics before election this
year than I have seen since
enrolling in the University.
Again, my personal
thanks for the effort you
made on behalf of the Coun
cil and for the University.

(UPS) The University
of Wisconsin Regents have
adopted a policy calling for
unlimited enrollment and
the elimination of student
fees to provide free public
higher education for Wis
consin residents in the Uni
versity system.
In accepting a report of
a two year study on fu
ture University develop
ment, the Regents said
also that the policy of per
mitting all citizens of the
state to attend the Univer
sity should be maintained
and there should be no en
trance restrictions.
Enrollment increases
should be handled by in
creasing facilities at both
the Madison and Milwau
kee campuses and at the
University extension cen
ters to the existing eight
freshman - sophomore units
if necessary.

TRADITIONAL CONCEPT
Essentially unchanged for more than two
thousand years, the bridal band has plighted
troths. Bethrothal rings antedate the wedding
band. The solitaire and gold band have
. been favorites through the centuries. Let us
help you choose your wedding ensemble.

Other Campuses
The Regents called for a
return to a situation where
students would pay only li
brary, clinic and laboratory
charges, which was the
case early in University
history. At present students
pay approximately 20 of
instructional costs with fees
of $110 a semester for resi
dents and $300 for out-of-state
students.
"Efforts should be made
to return to the traditional
concept of free public high
er education," the report
stated.
Blake College Hires
Famed Prof. Koch
(UPS)-Leo F. Kock, ex
University of Illinois as
sistant professor of biology
who lost his job over a let
ter printed in the Daily II
lini one year ago condoning
pre-marital sexual inter
course among "sufficiently
mature" people, has ac
cepted a teaching position
!lfi J
at Blake College in Mexico.
Koch, who has been un
employed except for lec
ture appearances since his
dismissal from Illinois,
brought suit against the
University March 3 to re
cover his lost salary. The
$5,900 suit is being backed
by the American Civil Lib
erties Union.
The firing of Koch last
year brought protest from
Illinois graduate students
and faculty who said in an
open letter to the President
and University Trustees,
"We can find no statutory
justification for the dismis
sal .. . To the contrary, it
appears that his dismissal
would violate the statute
(University) on Academic
Freedom."

Overset
Since it is the time of the
year when honors are be
ing passed out to nearly
everyone for outstanding
achievement, I would like
to venture
out on a
limb to
r e c o g
' nize one of
the most
worthwhile
0 r g a n i
zations on
campus.
1 am
sneak-
ing of the Beatty
special activities commit
tee of the Student Union.
In case the name' doesn't
ring a bell, maybe some of
their achievements over
the past year will give you
an idea of their caliber.
During the first part of
the year, the special ac
tivities committee staged
its second All-University
Talent show. This affair
was, in the estimation of
those who attended, the
best all-around presenta
tion of University talent of
the year. However, Jue t0
a lack of backing, the tal
ent show was soon dis
banded and did not have a
chance to make a tour
which would have been
highly successful to both
those in the show and the
University.
Later on, the committee
under the student leader
ship of Bill Connell (chair
man) and Connie Miller
(assistant) plus the Union
staff of Gale Ruttenberg
and Bill McKinnon, the
campus was treated to a
performance of the1 Broth-ers-4,
one of the biggest
campus favorites going today.

Given 13 coins, one of
which is counterfeit. The
counterfeit coin does not
weigh the same as the oth
ers (it is either heavier or
lighter). Using a simple
balance only, how many
weighings are necessary in
order to determine definite
ly which is the counterfeit
coin? Include also your plan
for solving this problem.

Answer to last weeks prob
By Norm Beatty
As if that was not enough
for any organization, we
were introduced to the
NORAD orchestra, featur
ing some of the finest jazz
found today at no cost to
anyone. The impression
they left on campus has
caused some speculation to
the effect that they may be
the orchestra for the 1961
Military Ball.
Now that the year is end
ing, the special activities
committee is ending the
year with real blast. I am
refering to Friday night's
"Fadeout" performance.
The Four Preps and the
Ramsey Lewis Trio, who
need no introduction to
most of us, will highlight
the spring show.
The Brother's-4, Hadley
Barrett (a poor show due
mainly to a busy weekend)
and the upcoming "Fade
Out" shows all cost or will
cost the University popula
tion money, the NORAD
concert and the Talent
Show were all free of
charge.
Connell, Miller, Rutten
berg, McKinnon and the
twenty workers deserve a
well-d e s e r v e d hand for
their efforts to bring the
campus top flight enter
tainment which, in many
cases was or will be better
than entertainment found
anywhere downtown Lin
coln or Omaha. Even more
important, the cost has
been quite reasonable.
With this kind of a year
credited to the Union, th
purpose of the entire Stu
dent Union has certainly
moved forward. On this
fact I congratulate the
committee and the Union
staff.
