The Daily Nebraskan Tuesday, October 3, 1961 page 2 "1 4 i EDITORIAL OPINION Intramural Program Fine; But Students Need Voice .... After viewing the start of a new intramural program we have reached certain conclusions which prompt com ment in an area where an opinion should be aired. One of the criticism of the college students today across the nation Is that we do not pay enough attention to our physical growth as we endeavor to promote the in- ' tellectual aging of the mind. Such criticisms have given rise to the president's youth fitness program initiated to encourage better physical education among the nation's youth. . In this light the University intramural program for men has certainly done more than a little to get the col lege man out on the playing field or court and thereby teach the importance of good health. Ed Higgenbotham, director of men's intramurals should be recognized for organizing a total of . 19 competitive sports for men. However, we question the policy making set-up in this area. Nearly every organized men's living unit was sur prised to find the intramural football program (one of the most competitive and popular sports) completely re vamped when they returned to school this fall. Why was this new game, a far cry from the old sport, Introduced without warning? There have been several criticisms on the new game with no place to lodge them. This change is so drastic that the new sport should not be called foot ball it all, rather, basketball with goals, as one student put it. Perhaps these are only growing pains of a new sport and will cure themselves over a period of time. Be that as it may, this immediate situation is not the big com plaint. We propose that the participating teams have a chance to voice their opinions and vote in a democratic method on matters that concern them so soundly. Where there is little or no chance to appeal the de cision of those in authority, there is dissention, be it gov ernment or intramurals. Fraternity and independent teams should not be quieted when an opinion or protest comes about Wt reiterate to point out that our present set-up has the potential of being one of the best found anywhere. Only one ingredient is missing. Equality? Staff Views Due to the slightly press ing requests from certain of my acquaintances, I have been persuaded to abandon the rather garbled name which formerly ban nered this column. I have chosen : to S U D S I 1- tute the above, "In P a ssing." which is, n o doubt, equally trite, but at least it serves to eliminate the prob lem of t r a n s 1 a- . - 19 Miss Moyer tion which accompanied the form, "Outside, ' Invok ing." I wish to depart from Mr. Goldwater aad his conserv ative doctrines for the time being to comment open very distressing element whkh I have bserved about this commnnity of col lege stndeats. I am speak ing of the complete ignor ance concerning the current events of the campus, na tion and world whkh a great number of tbe sta dents display. Now, I am not contending that this is a situation unique to our campus, it's probably fairly universal, but it becomes quite alarm ing when yoa sit in on the interviews of a representa tive group of the campus and very few of them know who is tbe Secretary of De fense or that a man who was as closely associated with the students as Van Westover is no longer on this campus. I am referring to tbe Prince Kosmet inter views in which only a small number of the over 40 young men, largely juniors and seniors, interviewed were not literally "backed up against the wall" by such questions. I'm quite sure tbess fel lows have access to at least one daily newspaper and they cast escape the "five minutes of news every hour a the hour" evea if their radios are tamed to mk aad roll an day. la addi tion there is the campus newspaper which should, at least, afford them tome en ligMcaune&t eoneeraiag tbe Daily Nebraskan Member Associate CotlerUte Trw.

The lack of current knowledge is observable every day in conversations and contacts with "group livers." Students make the ex treme mistake of losing coi tact with everything on the outside once they arrive on the campus. It is too easy to get involved with one par ticular group or organiza tion or to get so wrapped up in studying that you don't take time out to 'learn something. I am a firm be liever in the theory that an education doesn't come ex clusively from books. Tbe only 'element one gleans from a book or a lecture is a set of principles or theo ries, which never do him any good unless he applies them to his situations in everyday life. And one of the first and most basic theories that a college stu dent should know is that knowledge is endless and continuous, meaning that a little more is added with each day. That is one very good reason for "keeping current" so to speak, be sides tbe fact that if we aren't aware of what's go ing on or aren't interested in being aware, the sky may fan and ruin our Utopia of ignorance and bliss. Aware ness is something which we cant leave for the other guy to do. I'm sure we would all be amazed at the difference if we really made a big effort to be aware ef what was go ing ea around as and ob serve the things available to aid as. For example, I am think ing, at (he moment, of the sign which is posted beside my desk which carefully ex plains and Illustrates that aU questions regarding the Cornhusker should be di rected to someone la the adjoining office. Yet there is a constant stream of peo ple who come in the Rag office daily, read the slga carefully and then tnri to me with questions concern ing tbe Cornhusker. Students, rise and shine, the next generation is com ing fast and who's going to answer their questions? ext. 4225, 122, 4227 tbm mm mttixa tm I lr.l.

With the KansasMiisoun football game less than two months away, the Daily Kansan of the University of Kansas has taken an editor ial step to halt the feud be tween the two schools that started a year ago. The first feud flared lat faQ when the Jayhawki bumped the Tigers off the number one spot in national ratings. Later la the year when tbe KU basketball team visited the MUsou campus for a nationaDy televised game, a near-riot broke out oa the playing floor before thousands of viewers. Tbe feud, the editorial pointed out.

Football Fan Wants Action Dear Editor: Disappointment and an ger r e 1 g r e d supreme among some thirty thou sand football fans as they journeyed homeward Sat urday evening. The typi cal discussion among these peoph was, "What new era?" Why did a team with the power, speed and talent of the Huskers falter so easily? The problem seems to stem far deeper than what appears on the sur face. The type of football played Saturday was of what has been called "the old school." This is exact ly what gave such schools as Oklahoma their mighty teams of the past, but the past is gone; conserva tism has no place on to day's gridiron. The train ing that was gained and learned by our coach must be given up for the razzle-dazzle, wide open, gambling game which has taken precedent on t h e gridiron in the last five years. The best example is that of the profession als seen Sunday on tele vision. The desire of the fans is not only to win, but to see football played with all its c o 1 o r a n d enthusiasm. There are many incidents which could be criticized at this time, but will not be unless needed for em phasis. The fan wants to see a spirited team fired no and readv to fiht with all their strength, and this (Author of "I Was a Teen-age Dwarf", "The Many LoKto) DobUGillit", eU.) SAIL ON. SAIL OM I suppose October 12 is juut another day to you. You get up in the ordinary way and do all the ordinary things you ordinarily do. You have your breakfart, you walk your ocelot, you ro to classes, you write home for money, you burn the dean in effiirr, you watch Howdy-Doody, and you go to bed. And do you giv one little thought to the fact that October 12 is Columbus Day? No, you do not. Nobody thinka about Columbus those days. Let ua, there fore, paur for a moment and retell his ever-gloriou, endlessly stirring Mga. I 04 ,tf V7V "Vr 'A1 CbritopLer Columbus was born in Genoa on August 25, 1451. His fatfitr, Ralph T. Columbus, mas in the three-minute auto wanh gari. His mother, Eleanor (ftwifty) Columbus, was a sprinter. Chrigtopher was an only child, e&oept for Lis four brothers and tijdit sixers. With his father but-y all day at the auto wah and bis mother eouttatitJy away at track tueete, young CaAmuAmm was left pretty much to bis own devices. However, tl Ud did not sulk or brood. He was an avid reader and sfient all bis wLiitg Lours iittmerfced in a book. Uufortu ttately, Ure was only cue book in Genoa at the time Care cf tive Harm, by Aristotle and after Mrveral yeaK of reading Cart ef the Harm, Columbus grew ret-tJas. !x alien rumor reaclted huu that there was asother Sunk in Barcelona, off he ran M tuft as his fat little tes would carry Lira. The rumor, ak, proved fale. TIms only book in Barcelona was Cuidar un CoImIIo by AritotJe, which proved to be nothing inore tlian a Spanicn translation of Cart of the Hone. Bitterly disappointed, Coiumlws began to dreain of goinsj to Iudia whiere, according to legend, then were thousands of books. But the only way to go to India was on horseback, and atr so many years of reading Care of 0 Harm, Columbus bever wanted to dap eyes on a bone again. Then a new thought struck him: perhaps it was jyiUe to get to India by sea! fired with bis revJutimsry new idea, Columbus need to the court of Ferdinand and Lobelia on Lis little fat legs (Colum tu, tlioufdi oix feet tall, Was plagued w ith little fat legs aU his life) and fApsvied Lis cure with such fervor that the rulers were pwuadJ. On October 12, 1402, Columbus set foot oa the New World, TL Wiowiiig ytzz he retircied to Hpuin witii a cargo of wwkn never before seen in Europe 'pices and metals and plants aod flonm and mtmt wiiadrvus of all UAmxol Oh, what a sen lion tobacco caused in Europe! The filter had long sLnee bea invented (by Aristotle, euriouly eoouglj) but nobody knew what to do with it Now Columbus, the Great Dkooverer, made still another great discovery: be took a filter, put tobacco In front of it, and invented the world's first filter eigarettef Through the centuries filters have been steadily improved and ao has tobacco, until today we have achieved tbe ultimate in the filter cigarette Marlboro, of court!

Thank you for your time, The infernal triangle Delta Sig Blasts Rag For many years a situ ation has existed on this campus that has frustrat ed and angered two groups. Thir indignity reached new heights in Monday's Rag in the ar ticle on the Kosmet Klub Fail Show finalists. It is my hope that this letter will enlighten the minds of the student body, es pecially the Rag staff. There are two frater nities on this campus with verv similar names, Del ta Sigma Phi and Delta Sigma Pi. However, they are as different as social and professional. Even though both groups are recognized ' respected, their purposes are differ ent. Because of this inher ent difference Delta Sig ma Phi does not appreci ate the continual mix-up of identities. The Rag staff has only been right when both groups are mentioned in the same sentence. It is our sincere desire that this situation does not reoccur.
