The Nebraskan
Schultz, McGonahay,
Truly 'Outstanding'
Few men have furthered the development of the
University of Nebraska with as little regard for self
recognition and gain than this semester's Daily Nebraskan
selections of Dave McConahay and Dr. C. Bertrand
Schultz as Outstanding Nebraskans.
Both men have given their time and efforts to the
University without ever thinking of remuneration. The
first words uttered by both men, when told of tl.eir se
lection, were those of sincerity and humility. Both men
said there were others more deserving. We don't think
so., .
These men characterize the outstanding Nebraskan
down to the finest detail. Both are admired and greatly
respected on this campus.
As it wat pointed out in his letter of nomination,
Dr. Schuti is first, and foremost a teacher . . . a pro
fessor of geology, specializing in the study of vertebrate
paleontology, the study of prehistoric fossil animals.
For 'more than 25 years he has participated in research
in this field, becoming a specialist in orindonts, a fam
ily of prehistoric animal similar to the modem day moun
tain sheep.
Through the tireless efforts of Dr. Schultz, as direc
tor of the state museum, th name Elephant Hall and
Morrill Hall axe known throughout the United States.
. For many instructors, the day ends at S o'clock; but
not for Dr. Schultz. Many hours are spent on Wednesday
evenings as adviser for the Interfraternity Council. More
are spent on various committees of the Faculty Senate,
including the all-important Student Affairs Committee. A
year" ago. Dr. Schultz was named as an honorary member
of the Innocents Society. Recently he was honored by
his fraternity with the distinguished service award.
Dave McConahay has recorded an equally impressive
record over the past four years. Dave has achieved suc
cess in every phase of college life. He is a leader and
a dedicated hard-working member of every group with
which he is associated. He is an outstanding student. He
k a tine athlete.
In the field of scholarship, Dave is a Phi Beta Kappa
and a member of Sigma XL Last semester he had the
highest average among all men partitcipating in varsity
athletics for the University. In several weeks, he will
graduate ranking first in the College of Arts and Sci
ences. As president of the Innocents Society, much of the
credit for the formation of the Cornhusker Protege pro
gram, must go to Daye.
Campus organizations have also played a major role
in Dave's University life. His influence and knowledge
have added more to these activitiess than will ever be able
to be measured.
Above all, and that which can be found only through
working with these outstanding leaders, Is the feeling they
have for their colleagues and fellow students, reciprocally
shared. Their devotion to their University and their
friends serve to explain the position of respect which both
occupy. .
Congratulations to these fine individuals. They are
truly Outstanding Nebraskans.
Overset
Another year at the Uni
versity is nearly over with
another list of accomplish
ments compiled by both stu
dents and faculty and the
as a whole. I 1
many an
tnirable pro
jects have
bee initiat
ed to the
overall bet
terment of
the Univer
sity. For ex -ample,
con
sider the
construction of
Bestty
Nebraska's
newest art gaUaries the
Sheldon Art galleries, or
the Nebraska Center for
Continuing Education. In a
more personal light, the
Confhusker Protege project
was initiated te aid the
outstanding male seniors.
Furthermore, the quality
of . instructors and faculty
members has risen, as has
been pointed out by the
tiumberous awards, grants
for research and further
study, publications, papers
and invitations to appear
iund study abroad.
All in all, the University
Is one of themost revered
and Tespected institutions
within the state and nation.
These -points are not to be
disputed.
' The point I wish to make
n this final edition of the
Dally Nebraskan pertains
more to the scope of th e
students within the Univer
sity us to the world e a t
slde this little ntopia we call
campus. -For

One of the most basic
freedoms we, as Americans,
believe in has nearly lost
its meaning in the southern
half of our nation where
racial discrimination has
reached a new peak. Bnt
does this fact alarm stu
dents here? The students
who wfll soon make up the
leadership of Hie country?
Admittedly, some efforts
have bees made along these
lines which should be point
ed out The Nebraska In
ternational Association was
formed this year but sadly,
few of ns belong to the
organization. In the same
light the Peace Corps was
enthusiastically greeted on
this campus. Nebraska may
even become the train
ing ground of the Corps but
what good can a portable
Peace organization do la
other countries if our cwa
home land Is racked with
the pains of racial discrim
ination? Several outstanding visit
ing speakers appeared on
campus this year and em
phasized the threat of com
munism not only to the
United States but the free
world itself. We have all
observed the crucial con
flicts around the globe but
with half opened yes for
the most part If we think
these clashes between the
free world and the Commu
nists are insignificant, we
are lunatics. Wait a couple
of years when you are grad
uated and find yourself in
the middle.
Yet there is the reverse.

Tomorrow evening, Nebras
ka Masquers will bring the
current University Theater
season to a close with the
presentation of theater
awards at Masquers' 17th an
nual "Curtain Calls' awards
banquet The 1960-61 Univer
sity Theater season has pro
vided its academic audience
with some fine examples of
outstanding acting, technical
performance and entertain
ment Here are some predic
tions for the awards:
For "Best Actor': A very
close race between Zeff Bern
stein for "Six Characters in
Search of an Author" and
Larry Long for "A Streetcar
Named Desire" could go ei
ther way. Choice: Bernstein.
For 'Best Actress': Lets
Powell's outstanding perform
ance in A Streetcar Named
Desire' seems to overshadow
the fine performance of Lou
ise Shadley la the same play.
Choice: PowelL
For Best Major Support
Actor': Could go any way. If
Bernstein doesnt get 'Actor
award, would be likely win
ner. However, could go to any
of the "Ring Round the Moon'
trio Curtiss Greene, Jerry
Mayer or Gordon Trousdale.
Choice: Greene.
For "Best Major Support
Actress': Only two nosninated
performances seem in the
running Leta Powell for
"Ring Round the Moon1 and
Mary Teale for the same
show. Two fine performances
in this category Loretta
Loose for "A Streetcar
Named Desire" and Paula
Roehrkasse Knepper for "The
Sweetwater Affair" were act
nominated. Choice: Teale.
For 'Best Minor Support
Actor: Curtiss Greene conld
win for A Streetcar Named
Desire' If he doesnt wia the
"Best Major Support Actor
award. James Mac Donald is

To the editor,
An election was held re
cently. I wonder how many peo
ple voted for the Student
Council Tribunal Commit
tee's proposed charter
amendment because they
alidat bother to read their
ballot but simply marked a
"yes or "no."
I wonder how many peo
ple voted for candidates
simply because they were
on the SCBC or IFC slate
or were ""bucking" one of
these slates.
I wonder how many peo
ple voted out f hate for
another group with the in
tention of eliminating it sot
caring one way or another
if the candidate they voted
for was any better.
I wonder how many
tnea voted because of the
dollar fine.
I wonder how many inde
pendent men voted because
of the dollar fine.
I wonder how many stu
dents learned something
about one-half of the can
didates naming from their
college.
I wonder how many peo
ple voted for a candidate
because a friend told him
to vote for him.
I wonder how many peo
ple bothered to read the
articles in the Rag explain
ing the qualifications and
P J
Inside View
also a contender for the same
show. This year, the award
seems a concflation slice
there have really been no oat
standing performances in this
category. However, choice:
MacDonald.
For "Best Minor Support
Actress': Here's another cate
gory where there has really
been no outstanding perform
ances. The only commenda
ble performance in the cate
gory Lesly Smith for A
Streedcar Named Desire"
wasnt even nominated. An
drea Chicoine was entertain
ing as the Negro winner in
"A Streetcar Named Desire"
and 'should have a good
chance. Choice: Chicoine, or
Smith (but more for "Street
car' than nominated "Six
Characters' role.)
For 'University Theater
Production': No one ever
knows the exact number of
students who will receive this
award except the judge four
won last year. However, peo
ple who have made outstand
ing contributions to the tech
nical side of University Thea
ter include Sue DePrist Le
Roy Jones, Sam Gossage,
Andy Wolvin, Tice Miller,
Leta Powell, Margery Coffey,
Toie Brashear, John Olney,
Kathy Beggs, Phil Boroff,
Jenise Burmood and others.
Choices: Any of the above.
Other awards include Labo
ratory and Experimental The
ater acting, directing and pos
sibly designing awards m
decidible at this time since
four lab shows are to be pre
sented yet this evening; new
Maaqiiefs Workers; lew
officers of Nebraska Masqu
ers; Masquers' Outstanding
Freshman award; Masquers'
Service awards; Honorary
Masquers' Service Awards;

platforms of the candidates.
I wonder how many peo
ple know who was elected
from their college.
This year's election found
a relatively large number
of stade: s voting.
Was tuis due to an active
interest in the Student Coun
cil or due to an active in
terest in defeating other
pseudo-political factions?
This last election found
two parties being formed,
the Greeks and the Inde
pendents (Big I). The best
thing that could happen on
this campus is the forma
tion of two political parties;
however, if the two parties
that have developed contin
ue to grow nothing very
constructive will be able to
occur.
A political party should
be formed through mutual
desires and common beliefs
with the intention of pro
moting their goals and stim
ulating their completion.
The Greeks and Indepen
dents formed to promote
themselves with the inten
tion of pushing opponents
est and themselves into the
Student Council.
How many issues arose
last year in the Student
Council that would effect
cither Greeks or Indepen
dents as an individual po
litical entity?
None.
The present political di
vision is an unnatural one.
There is little in common

be as completely selective
and small this year as it has
been in previous years. A cer

Morgan, associate professor
of Speech and Dramatic Art
and director of "Laura,"
"Henry IV, Part One," "The
Diary of Anne Frank," "Six
Characters in Search of an

This summer I return to Al

This concludes a year of re-'
views by that "mean man who
gives mean reviews in his
mean column in the Daily Ne-j
braskan. (Overheard in the
Crib.) Yes, I'm hypercritical,
but I want the best Why set-,
tie for adequacies when the
performers are capable of do
ing much better? With the
consent of the new editor f
the Daily Nebraskan to be se
lected tomorrow morning, I!
would like to return next year;
to even better entertainments
and columns. Happy Summer, i
among the Greeks and In
r
dependents; and yet they
have become unified (or at
least tried to) against each
other. A Conservative ver
sus liberal or Radical ver
sus Reactionary would cer
tainly be a more reason
able split
In spite of the erroneous
basis for election it seems
that a potentially good
group of representatives
was elected, along with an
outstanding group of hold
over members.
They can function effect
ively only if they obtain the
support of the student body.
If the voice of the students
is ever to be above a whis
per then it must have an
informed, interested univer
sity, one unconcerned if the
candidate was on the SCBC
or IFC slate, but concerned
with his productivity.
This coming year the Sta
4eit Council committees
will be epea to freshmen
and sophomores who desire
to work. This added mas
power will greatly facilitate
members using more time
en new projects, and wiife
the Purpose Committee
from this year re-empha-sizing
a widening of the
scope of council affairs, the
way has been opened for a
great year.
I wonder if the Council
will be able to get the need

It seems like just yester
day I came down to this of
fice. I remember my first
impression was the feeling
of mob hysteria, as I
watch e d
half of the
staff run
ning around
the office
in a wild
frenzy.
Since
that time
many peo
p 1 e have
occupi e d
the editor's
chair. Some

of them were great, some of
them weren't. But they all
had one similar character

and they voiced them.
Sometimes they received
praise, often they are criti
cized, most of the time
there is nothing. No one
seems to form opinions
... no one wants to voice
their opinions.
If any of the thoughts
dealt with in this column
have ever provoked thought
on your part, the column
has served a purpose.
Now, in this last column,
I would like to point out a
few areas around this Uni
versity, which I feel are
badly neglected and need
some sort of corrective
measures.
The first area is that of
Administration - Faculty
Student relationships. This
eternal triangle has al
ways been an area of poor
communications and bad
relations. To the student
the Administration's main
function is to continually
control the student body,
crack dowa on drinking
parties and send out down
slips. This of course is
an exaggeration, but yon

functions of the adminis
tration. The faculty, in the eyes
of many students, are tired
old men who beat their
gums every Monday,
. Wednesday and Friday at
11 o'clock giving sentence
after sentence of dry statis
tics in an equally dry pre
sentation. This too, is not
completely true. For, as
many of us know, the fac
ulty at the University is
one of the best m the na
tion. It's too bad that some
of our state legislators
don't realize this fact.
On the other hand, the
student, in the eyes of
many administrators and
faculty members, is a
lazy, party-going child who
continually tries to con the
system.
Perhaps a council, re
sponsible only to the chan
cellor, might provide the
answer. This council could
be made up of an equal
number of students, faculty
mciuvrii dliu auuimuui'
tors. They could hold a
weekly or monthly meet
ing and discuss, and I
mean discuss, the prob
lems that each group
faces. If something were
ever to work, it would have
to be entered in a realistic
attitude. We couldn't turn
these meetings into a summit-type
conference, where
little is accomplished.
Another problem is that
of the Student CoundL
This semester some of the
tion building that should
have been done several
years ago was finally put
into action.
All of the organizations
under the Council's control
are now at least half-way
certain as to what they
must do to remain on good
standing. Much of this ac
tion is a direct result of the
work of next year's Coun
cil president Steve Gage.
