IFiat's Happening?
By Dick Stuckey
Every few weeks the ab
surdities and the unbear
ables begin to fly with
such rapidity that the aft
ermath is nothing short
of nausea.
' Of course, we can't call
a spade a spade anymore.
Somewhere between the
horrors of social exile
and! status denial lies a
man slightly equivilent
to perspiration stain. Con
sequently we must be sub-.
tie, and temper our tem
per with the patience of
fools.
However, we all have
more important things to
do than slamming, so
here let us merely tell
in passing of a few im
portant things the good
college citizen should be
aware of in order to bet
ter live that happy life.
The returning IFC del
e gates to the National In
terfraternity Council
meeting in Boston report
that there is no reason
why the IFC at Nebraska
cannot capture the "out
standing" title in 1962,
provided the present pro
gress can match Okla
homa State's winner this
year. Of course, Okla
homa State has the
unique practice of sub
stituting an IBM machine
for a rush week. So did
Aklout Huxley.
Latest in the Military
Ball scramble the open
ing of the Cornhusker so
cial season is the day by
day running account of
the cost of the thing.
However this is not the
whole story. Although the
total cost for a collegiate
cadet is now down to
-something like $12.95, the
fiscal tabulations of the
old man have not yet
been released. Suppose
some poor sodbuster is
innocently sending both a
son and daughter through
the ranks, he a potential
desert fox and she, the
potential progenitor of a
whole platoon. Here's the
check:
New full length

Tux rent ;:7.00

On Films and Things
By Phil Boroff
Things . . .
In a week almost void
of new films "I Bombed
Pearl Harbor" opened
yesterday on the 20th an
niversary of the Japanese
attack a new, relaxing
entertainment the t e 1 e
phone talkathon has been
getting publicity as a
newrworthy novelty. The
talkathon has also come
under attack.
The round-the-clock vig
ilance of voluntary con
venation began Monday
evening between Delta
Delta Delta and Delta
Sigma Phi. The reasons:
fan, relaxation, enter
talnment, a change of rou
tine, a way of getting to
biow each other.
The Nebraska talkathon
will continue, I assume,
as long as stimulating
conversation can be con
tinued. The Trl-Delts and
the Delta Sigs are talking
In one-half hour and hour
shifts on a voluntary bas
is. Study hours for pledges
and delinquent actives are
continuing, and quiet
hours are in force for
other actives in the eve
nings. Talkers are encour
aged to be conservative in
'signing-up" for too much
time.
- This new "craze" ts fun,
and physically harmless
when compared to recent
college crazes and hazes

booths, people in cars (43

Don't ever say that the
University isn't interested
in the growth of Lincoln.
Unaffiliated Lincoln stu- j
dents are in the inevita
ble process of processing.
The last of that dying
breed, the independents,
has taken steps to band
so that they will not be
left out of activities be
cause they are not in a
sorority or a fraternity.
Bring your own football
if you want to play, four
eyes. And this has happened
before look at the
Greenbacks and the Free
soilers. Third parties are
not new. We may even
see Big "L's" and Little
"l's."
It has been said, in
short, that "Students on
this campus are going to
be judged by what they
contribute to the campus1,
not whether they are
Greek or Independent."
Certainly. Look at Ralph
Mueller. Not a person
around can tell you wheth
er he was Sigma or Set
ton. Of course, a few stu
dents contribute $132 a
semester, but those dirty
little devils get it all back
in transcripts. When they
gonna build a building or
something? Does anyone
remember the "Do-Nothings."
Those crazy, foolhardy
chemistry students really
went too far this time
trying to burn down that
laboratory. And we see in
the Daily Nebraskan that
the legislature had better
do something about it.
What did they say "It is
better to have a busted
state treasury than a
deathly fire hazard?"
Whoa horse. Better write
home on that one. Old
Dad might prefer that
Jack be nimble Jack be
quick instead of spending
all the state jack on a
fire escape. A small one,
maybe, but let's not go
for broke there, Horace
Greeley. Go easy, young
man.

contest two years ago),
and small sports cars in
entrance ways; painting
jeans and doors; and
showerings for pinnings,
engagements, birthdays,
etc.
What are they talking
about? Actually, anything
that comes up, that the
participants may have in
common. Interests, plans
for the future, classes,
hometowns, friends, jobs,
summers, University ac
tivities and. the inevitable
politics and religion are
all discussed.
Examples:
The fathers of Tri-Delt
active M a r c i a Coe and
Delta Sig pledge Jay
Freed both went to medi
cal school together and
both were members of
the same medical frater
nity, Phi Chi. Marcia's
and Jay's mothers were
nurses. Marcia is consid
ering nursing as a career,
and Jay is a pre-med stu
dent. Wednesday evening, a
Tri-Delt was getting help
with homework problems
namely caloric heat
problems for physics.
One conversation asked
how to improve fraterni
ties and sororities on cam
pus. Another asked: Why can
a talkathon get so much
publicity and reaction
when the presentation of
two Tri-Delt scholarships
Monday evening received
little attention?

Parking Question
fRoises Comment
To the editor:
I it seems to me that all
the fuss about lack of
parking space is com-
pletely unnecessary. Al-
E though I usually stay in
I the sack until 8:30 or 9:00
1 and don't arrive on cam-
1 pus until 10:00, I have
never been unable to find
I a parking place at either
16 & Vine or south of "Ne-
braska Hall. These areas
are only four or five
blocks from the center of
campus and the distance
can be walked in five
minutes, about twenty
minutes less than Mr.
Looney (Monday Letter-
f rip) spent orbiting the
campus looking for a
place in front of his class
building.
I Mr. Looney feels that
something must be done
by the administration so
he can find a more con
venient parking place.
Certainly no action is
called for when the prob
lem is not a lack of park
ing space, but a lack of
effort on the student's
part in refusing to walk

several
blocks to class.
These parking areas are
no farther from the cen
ter of campus than sev
eral fraternities'.
Instead of constantly at
tacking the parking prob
lem, we should be glad
that we are allowed cars
on campus in the first
place. More than a few
universities prohibit stu
dents from having cars
at all.

The Oiristmas Spirit
Christmas today, with
all it's glitter and gadg
etry, seems to have lost
the spiritual aspect with
which it began. With all
the commercialism at
tached to it we tend to
observe Christmas any
more instead of keeping
the spirit of this day.
Gift giving today has
become a material way of
expressing our love to
friends and relatives. But
how many of us give to
those outside of our fam
ilies and friends?
How many of us stop
to consider the needs and
desires of little children,

to remember the weak
ness and loneliness of
people who are growing
old?
How many of us will ad
mit, thatthe only reason
for our existence is not
what we can get out of
life, but what we can put
into life?
How many of us are
willing to brighten our
lamp of life so that we
will give off more light
and less smoke and carry
it in front of us so that
our shadow will fall be
hind us?
Are we willing to be
lieve that love is the
strongest thing in the
world, stronger than hate,
stronger than evil, strong
er than death? And that
the Blessed Life which
began in Bethlehem over
nineteen hundred years
ago is the image and
brightness of eternal love?
Then we can keep the
spirit of Christmas; and
if we can keep it for a
day, why not keep it al
ways? James Benson
