Page 2 The Daily Nebraskan Wednesday, September 20, 1961 EDITORIAL OPINION Administrative Changes Will Allow Reevaluation The mandatory retirement of Dean of Student Affairs . J. P. Colbert at the end of the University's fiscal year, the formation of a faculty advisory committee to assist in selecting a successor to this post and a self study of the entire area of student services was announced yester - day in the Daily Nebraskan. These actions, still in the formation stages, give stu dents on this campus an unusual opportunity to do some thing about ancient gripes, pet peeves and, in general, situations that have had much to do with the ever-present problem of student apathy. It is evident that our administrators are seriously engaged in making needed changes and instituting new legislation which affect the student population on campus. Such areas to be considered include student housing, admissions, records, health, Student Union, relations with organized houses, foreign student advising, student dis cipline and financial assistance to students. Needless to say the foregoing areas nearly blanket the entire student-faculty-admission relationship and any revisions, changes or additions should be of vital interest to each student enrolled in the University. This new advisory committee, to be headed by Dean of Faculties Adam Breckenridge, has not as yet invited student suggestions for improvement in services and re lations. However, this may be only because of the new ness of the committee. Nevertheless, we feel when this committee goes into full scale operation and begins to make a comprehen sive analysis of student services, a door should be left open to hear what the average student individually, and the student body as a whole, has to contribute. If such a provision is made possible, we as students should insure positive results by working through the proper channels. Specifically, we are speaking of the voice of the student body the Student Council. A common crv in vears oast amnnc a nortinn nt th campus population is that the Student Council "never does anything" and we must agree in part when we re call past Student Councils. However, we hasten to remind students that this year's Council must not be condemned yet without its ever holding a meeting. The entire membership and lead ership has changed, as it does yearly, and will meet at 4 p.m. today for its first meeting. We urge that students and members of the Council make every effort to sound out specific and concrete sug gestions that should be forwarded to the advisory com mittee pertaining to all areas of student services and the selection of a new dean of student affairs. The situa tion is ideal and the opportunity is excellent. Let's not fumble. AST?? SR IF" 5 PROBLEM OF THE WEEK Sponsored by Pi Mu Epsilon National Honorary Mathe matics Fraternity This week in the dorm writes Pat.'We have had a mania for riddles; in fact, we have gone on asking them for several nights. Each of us gets one point each nigh, for the first riddle she guesses, two points for the second, three points for the third, etc. "The curious thing is this: One hundred riddles have been solved during the week, 100 points have been awarded each night, and each of us has scored . 100 points in all. None of us has ever failed to score at least once duiing the evening. "The first night I guessed seven riddles and Priscilla six. The last night Prudence only guessed three." How many did Prudence guess the first night? Turn in your answers to 210 Burnett. Solution and winners nanies will ap pear next week. 0u (; r.it-&rtptt.k- TELL IK ABOUT THE OLb ARM,$AMEBEFOR PUSHBUTTONS. Staff Views Chips SATYR By Dick Masters After a week of solid but sordid greetings, you little people will be spared that deal here. This column is of long standing and makes no promises as to intent or content. It is just a pleasant 111 hatchie which you will find yourself read ing. With the niceties out of the way we will proceed immediately to the business of the day. If orientations are a n y thing like they were before the war when it was my pleasure to listen and glean little bits of valuable ad vice, yon (by' the way this is directed to incomers and those of you who don't read r haven't seen a rag in your college career) were obviously told that the Uni versity is a deal where ideas are sold to you at a nominal fee. Certainly in tellectual freedom and the right to think about rioting was mentioned. Well, this is one cf the psuedo-truths types that flit about us daily. Intel lectual freedom is a fine phrase - it is guaranteed by law, too. This means the U.S. government gives you the right to think and ex press your ideas Got that? Now in this country is a thing called Freedom of the press. You can write what you see fit and as long as you aren't like im pinging upon the rights of others or slopping about li bel, nothing is going to hap pen. Nothing except unintel-. lectual freedom. Now we come to a dis tinction: Unintellectual free dom gives any slob the right to say anything. After a close reading of the rag, which generally entails glancing at the Midwest's Conservative's conservative paper's comment on any' given news item, the un intellectual freedom rider may attack. He needs no valid information, verified facts, or foolish red tapism like all that. Now he may at any given time use in ference and intimidation and guilt by reading habits to smash home points con cerning Pinko tendencies. What I'm trying to say is that we should revoke the license on unintellectual freedom. And it is high time that you got used to the idea that the Daily Ne braska has been labeled as Pinko et al. This is your campus and now your news paper which is being fi nanced in part by your tui tion shekels. It falls to you to condone or condemn on the basis of your opinion. When someone mentions I censorship for the rag, this j becomes your fight too. Cit izenship at the University i is exactly like citizenship in ! a democratic society. When ! basic freedoms are threat- j ened it falls to an informed I public to erase or at least : make ineffective , such? threats. So like read this j paper be aware of issues j form your own opinion j and be ready to act. Now this sounds like an eighth grade civics lecture, but in the interest of a good student paper, I re-emphasize what seems so inherent in our society. You are go ing to school to know why you are going to Berlin and like that. Well, kiddies, I'm afraid that this has taken serious overtones, so I must pro ceed no further.

Here I am in the midst of farming, ranching, re search and development. And why? Why would a journalism student, leg acy to his father's law books, volunteer to " be stranded on Ag campus as its representative of the Daily Nebraskan? Why?, because I'm selfish and lazy. I'm selfish enough to realize that agriculture is a basic and important part of America's econ nomic, social and politi cal set-up even though it's a stumblefooted oaf at the present time. I'm selfish enough to want to learn from the people who know and appreciate agriculture Eldrige, Fro lik, Kock, Kramer, Janike . . . and learn it where it can be learned. That is if Monroe Auto products haven't po Hated the state's beef and corn and transformed the farmers into factory workers.

"The more specialists society creates to cope with its complexities, the easier it can be for a non-specialist to achieve success. If that seems paradoxical, look at it this way: the more men who go out for specific positions on the ball club, the more chance you have to wind up as manager! Today's world in government, business, the arts, even science -needs the well-rounded man. He's the mag who can see the entire picture. ..the man who can draw on a broad background of knowledge, evaluate the problem, then assign the details to specialists. The world of entertainment may seem somewhat spe cial, but it's a case in point. These days, it demands mora of its people than ever before. Today's musical comedy score is often as sophisticated as grand opera. Drama draws heavily on psychology and history. Television pro ductions are concerned with nuclear science and political science. If you've ever watched 'Omnibus' you may have seen how our productions have run the gamut of a wide range of man's interests. So I suggest to you that even though you may concen trate on one special field of interest, keep your viewpoint broad. Keep your college curriculum as diversified as pos sible. Attend lectures and concerts, the theatres and mu seums. Above all, read and read, and listen and listen! But pay scant heed to the oracle who says there's no route to the top but that of specialization. I don't believe itl" WHY, CECTAiNLVL THERE ACP SOME fRKSORES THAT AfiEJKST lUUMUOHSOMfcHMES TO EAR,.
