"The Daily Nebraskan Monday, October 16, 1961 Page 2 . - j i I J ! 'A 1 EDITORIAL Permit to Spend More Should Not Guide Outlayj On the heels of a new plan to save fraternal organiza- I tions up to $1,000 year (Fraternity Management Plan), these same organizations have caused the Innocents Soci- ety to up the limit on expenditures for Homecoming dis- plays. " -- I In jumping the limit which may be spent on displays from $150 to $250, a spokesman of the Society noted that most houses go over the old limit anyway. Hence, the Inno- cents are only making legal what everyone was doing il- legally anyway. I One of the biggest problems of the fraternity system on this campus is the cost the houses incur over the year s and thereby cause individual dues to go up. Recognizing s this problem, the Interfraternity Council (IFC) and es- s pecially John Nolon, devised the-FMA. I Now that everyone is going to save money in the future, I if the plan works, there seems to be a misconception flying around that there is extra money to be spent by each house. This is not the case. If those in authority in each organiza- 5 tion expects to really cut operating costs and honestly com- I pete with the independents for the incoming freshman each I fall, there must be a change in philosophy. What good does it do to subscribe to a plan to save anywhere from $100 to $1,000 a year and turn around and throw more funds out the window for such a questionable expense? Has the cost of erecting Homecoming displays gone up so drastically? More important, are displays judged on the 1 hundreds of dollars poured into them? We think not. Now that it is legal to spend up to $250 for each individ- ual display, we venture to say there will be houses which s will spend the $250 just because they are allowed to, not because they need to. Certainly there will be smaller houses which will not be able to keep up with the cost. 1 5 We wonder If fraternities and sororities, among others, f have forgotten a basic product in constructing winning Homecoming displays. We are speaking of creative work with whatever is available, certainly there onust ue nouses which produce agreeable winners or at least decent dis plays without going overboard with sums of money. If the Greek system and other non-independents expect to make any headway in cutting costs, mere must oe a little more thought put behind such expenditures. (N.B.) Staff Views Over the Top Since our columnist who generally handles the re view and critics of films and stage productions has rendered himself ineligi ble to re view the K o s met Klub Fall Revue due to his own will at tempt to give my Beatty candid opinions on Satur-1 day , night's production. (This is a "twist"). I think the best thing to be said about the show is the success it claimed with so few houses com peting; including the or ganization which has won the show in the previous two years. It shows the effort put forth not only by the houses entered but the tremendous spon tenaity on the part of the Kosmet Klub. Competing houses had less time to organize this year but the quality of the revue was nearly up to par. The close correlation of skit titles and the theme of the show was better this year than I have ever witnessed. It was a good anniversary show for the Klub although the pro duction did not measure up to some of the previ ous extravaganzas. It is my feeling that the Delta Upsilon skit made its claim to fame via the settings more than the production itself. It was bright and colorful yet not guady. The Delta Sigma Phi skit was probably hurt from its conglomeration of songs which were bard to understand. It lacked continuity which was Daily Nebraskan Member Associated Cotlerlate Preaa, International Preaa Representative: National Advertistnc Serviee, Ineorporatod Published at: Room SI, Student Union, Lincoln, Nebraska.

Bob Caanlnahara ClraiteUM Maaocer ,.iln Xreelat OPINION By Norm Beatty nearly offset by the im pressive climax. Perhaps the biggest ob stacle to the Beta's was their position in the show. As the saying goes, "how do you follow an act like that?" When the other skits were centered around the theme of "Ani niversary Antics," this skit had nothing what-so-ever to do with it. This fact alone probably caused the skit to drag to the point of boredom to many. Again the final scene was good as were some of the individual parts. The winning skit by the Phi Delts had perhaps what the other three did not. Their songs were sim ple but good. One scene led almost naturally to the next and there was no clear cut star of the show. This skit kept the view ers undivided attention; a necessity to any success ful production. It would be hard to single out any one part of the Phi Delt skit as the "kicker." How ever, the simplicity and the characterization were boosters. (Who is Gene Tice but the "high priest"?) The winning travelers skit was without a ques tion the best. Its original ity was essential to the show as a whole. Not to be disregarded were the performances of "A Cou ple of Phi's" and "R e d Hot Mamma" Jon Law ritson. I surely cannot defend my opinions on a profes sional level. I am not a critic by nature only an average viewer. My opin ions are those of the nor-' mal student. Again I point to the show as one of the best parts of campus life. It is traditional, entertaining and a funfilled experience to participate in it. I IS am Rayburn 'Bigger Than Life; A Little Bit Bigger Than Texas' Eric Sevareid Sam Rayburn stood on feet cemented in the orig inal American rock. He did not merely believe by the evidence, in the strength, goodness the of he as sumed it. This is a q u a 1 i ty that has been t h i n- Sevareid 2 fttyf .i MM ning out since the rock was fissured beginning with World War I. The new enlightement of self analysis and self-doubt is not necessarily a good trade for the old implicit belief, since we remain under assault by forces that deny self-doubt. I can see Mister Sum now, hunched behind his big desk in his inner sanctum on a quiet Sat urday afternoon when the House was empty. The square little man with the sad, squinty, round face would pour a little bour bon and branch water and talk about his patron saint, Robert E. Lee, whose pictures dominated the wall above the black horsehair furniture. It was a good place to bring one's small sons just to let them hear a little talk of their country and the past from someone who had no doubts. The young ones walked out of there very solemnly and self consciously, the way chil dren file out of church. I know only the story of Lee fascinated Mister Sam, only Lee was his real hero not Wilson with whom he began his ca reer in Washington, nor Roosevelt with whom Sam rose to his great power. It was not just that Lee meant the South, it was that Lee meant duty, love of country, self-abnegation. I don't think Rayburn ever con fused himself with Lee in the attainment of these qualities he kept Lee there as a goad and goal. When he looked at Lee's photographs you had the feeling that Mister Sam was silently offering a toast to a man perceived In the iron embrace of his sense of duty. At the opening of the '52 Democratic Conven tion in Chicago, the Speaker read a long speech which few in that restless, not yet orderly hall, really heard. The next day the New York Times expressed aston ishment that the country had never understood the passionate feelings of the crotchety old Texan about his country, or sensed his human tenderness and concern. Not many did know "H -M-AA-M..." this; just a few old friends, including the man who wrote the speech for him. This was the man who is always associated with Mister Sam in my memories David Cohn, another sage from Greenville, Missis sippi, one of the wisest, most truly talented lov ers of all things, however preposterous, about this country, ever to go un heralded in our disre garding life. David Cohn, who died a year ago in Denmark, once wrote of Rayburn: "He was born on the farm in the pre-packaging era when folks got their cheese off the big round and their crackers out of the barrel and so ... he clings to the out moded concept that the contents are more impor tant than the package.

Staff Views Chips Three million dollars worth of educational fa cilities at 33rd and Hol drege, countless numbers of man and worry hours. What is this Ne bra s k a C e n ter for Con tinui n g Ed u c a tion good for as far as the stud e n t at the of Ne Clark braska is conceenrd? The center provides fa cilities and staff for some of the outstanding educa tional conferences and symposiums in the United States in every field from history to pig farming. It the state an opportunity to meet and use its mo dern plant for such events as Boys State, 4-H Club week and the Nebraska Conference of Youth. The University itself benefits from the mere fact that more of the tax payers and voters of the state are able to realize the importance and profi ciency of research and the University teaching facilities. This association of Nebraskan and Univer sity also helps the Uni versity realize the seri ousness and c i r c u in stances of various eco nomic, social and person al problems which the school as an institution of the people has a certain obligation to help solve. All this for everyone, but what does the student who pays $132 to attend Nebraska University re ceive from the pile of bricks and mortar on Ag campus? Just about nothing! There are several as pects which a student can utilize: He can send his parents out there on Sat urday morning so the pre game primer won't be disturbed; forty coeds can obtain temporary housing when the campus housing situation reaches a crisis; or a culture ad dict can watch a foreign film every Wednesday night. Let's face facts there are some tremendous programs happening at the center, but much of the information is beyond the graduate school level and it would be useless TO ALL STUDENTS OF UIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA CAN YOU USE A HUNDRED BUCKS?

Last week the people who sit as trustees or Board of Regents mem bers for tax-supported colleges and universities throughout the land met at the Center for a four day conference hashing out problems these schools face. This national confer ence featured some of the outstanding educators .and administrators throughout the nation and undoubted ly was very successful. At the same time last week Dr. Russell L. Gor they told the Nebraska State Assn. of Nurse An esthetists that 100 of ev ery 100 persons can be hypnotized by trained medical personnel "if we can remove fear." The applications of atomic energy conference, Northwestern Bell man a g e m e n t development, Red Cross conference, municipal finance offi cers, USDA national ag ricultural committee and countless other groups will utilize the Center and the University's facilities during the coming months. What can the student get maybe a better tele phone system next year, maybe a new building for the University, or per haps a change of your history teacher's teaching philosophy. The only thing the Ne braska Center can do for the student of the Uni versity of Nebraska is to acquaint that student with an educational in stitution which will prob ably be available to him when he is raising pigs and needs to know the latest developments in Specific Pathogen Free Swine or in fixing hair or sueing people, or paying taxes. If every student who leaves this University knows what the Center is and what its purposes and capacities are, then sometime a similar insti tution may make up for the "do-nothing" that the Center is now. In the meantime you can attend just about any conference you're inter ested in, and who knows you may enjoy what you hear.
