Wednesday, January 10, 1962 Page 2 The Daily Nebraskjn EDITORIAL OPINION Traveling Return To Tonight the Husker basketball team opens its home conference play at 8 05 p.m. in the Coliseum. Coach Jerry Bush's cagers will be looking for win number two of the young season against no losses. What lies ahead for the basketball team no one can accurately foretell. Most observers are optimistic about the entire season. Few have predicted that the Huskers are on their way to a conference champion ship. One thing can be predicted, however and thnl is t thrill a minute. Nebraska basketball has been entertaining in the past and the future will undoubted ly hold the same. Few if any students can remember when the teams of the Big Eight have been so evenly matched. Like wise, it has been an age since at least one Kansas team has not dominated the scene. Our Huskers have already stopped the previously unstoppable Jayhawks from Kansas U. K-State is still ranked among the top 10 college teams in the nation but they lost their opening conference game to Colorado. All in all, the scarlet and cream stands in a good position to take all of the chips this year with a little luck. Regardless of the fact that University athletic teams have produced poor results in the past few years, students have had many thrills including the miracle win over the then-giant Oklahoma In football and victories over KU and K-State in basketball when both teams led the national ratings. As we have mentioned, we cannot assure a con ference crown but we can safely say that anyone seeking an evening of exciting entertainment will do well to brave the elements to the Coliseum. (N. B.) THE UNIVERSITY Communication Problems BY TOM Several weeks aeo this writer expressed his opin ions about the woeful lack of contact between the students and faculty at the University. The col umn produced a good deal of agreement and, hope fully, stimulated some thought. Today's column will lay out two problems which lie between the stu dents and the administra tors of the school, protb lems which long experi ence indicates are clear and worthy of written ex pression. WARPED VIEWPOINT Students often are in clined to be overly criti cal and impatient with ad ministrate. Many bring a warped viewpoint into the offices of student af fair's, a viewpoint which .conjures up a vision of black robed judges inter ested mainly in keeping the peace. . Pfccessary'academic and social rules exist and are necessarily enforced by our administrators. On the surface these can seem unduly harsh and inflexi ble. Yet students do not see that rules are inter preted and applied with , the best interest of the ftudenta and the Univer sity in mind. Most students do not 'know the complexity of problems placed in the hopper in the administra tion building. They hear mostly the complaints of disgruntled and conse quently vociferous s t u demV This one-sided pic ture can produce the warped viewpoint, and frequently does so. It need hardly be added that the warped viewpoint breeds suspicion and distrust, the parents of frustration and conflict.

This attitude has its roots in an overly cautious spirit of adminis tration and an inordinate fear of unavoidable errors. The attitude of distrust has stagnated activity among student leaders and activities. Yes, the number of bum projects and ideas has been re duced; but it seems to me that students should make as many mistakes as pes tle in college and get them out of their systems before the reality of the post-graduation world is upon them. Two examples illustrate the point. Within the last year, I have seen the ex pression of student opin ion about Operation Abo lition and related matters stifled in deference to im pending Unicameral budg et proceedings. The free dom to act as responsible students and citizens was curtailed by administra tive distrust of student ac tion that predicted raging controversy and financial disaster. A more ordinary and perennial illustration of distract is the budget of the Student Council. The Council must have much more money than it does at present if it is ever to become an effective rep resentative body. This year's Big 8 Council con vention clearly revealed the comparative poverty of our Council. Our ad ministrators must admit that the Council will in evitably make mistakes and still trust the students enough to grant substan tial budgetary increases. The motto, "In Students We Trust," might proper ly be placed on the desk of every administrater. 1 'Courtaar of Omtha World raM) aa aart afflaa aj UHi Waarai km af taa IaHj f, aaaf an far, at aa, ar TUAUKS. Nominating Letters Weeded Immediately Another semester is rapidly coming to a close and with it the time for nominations for outstand ing Nebraskans is with us again. Nominations for these honors were opened Tuesday. No names will be accepted after next Tuesday evening. A trend in the recent past shows that few nomina tions are turned in until the last minute. If this be the case this semester, the Daily Nebraskan may not be able to consider sever al worthy candidates. In the past students and fac ulty were given two or three weeks to send the letters of nomination in. This semester there are only seven days remain ing without a nomination. If we do not receive what we feel to be an am ple number of nomina tions for selection, we feel there is little use in pre senting this long standing honor. Certainly there are sufficient numbers of eli gible candidates on cam pus if only their friends will take the time to right a letter to us. Certainly the time sacrificed would be well worth the net re turn to a deserving friend. If we do not make the I awards the fault lies not I with the newspaper. The I cause will be traced to the 1 readers who only get out of the Rag what they put Washerwomen' fPainting Shown I The University Art Galler gies new series of one-picture exhibitions was inaugurated during vacation when the W 'Landscape with Washerwom an" by Alessandro Magnasco fwas put on display. The early 18th century oil painting by Magnasco, one of I the important late Italian -masters and sources for the fjmodern Romantic movement, Iwas borrowed from the Uni Iversity of Michigan's Museum of Art. It will be shown I through the month of January. Norman Geske, director of fthe Art Galleries, said that the University hopes to bring to the campus the outstanding paintings from the collections of other universities in the i nation. . He said that the series will I feature paintings of other countries, as well as of other periods. 1 USE DAILY NEBRASKAN WANT ADS JL& WESTIONE J IT WAS iUTST VWT WWiTEW into it in the form of serv ice to their University and the members of the Uni versity community.

Ral$ton GolcTs College PROBLEM OF THE WEEK A testator drew up a will which stipulated that his fortune should be dis tributed among his chil dren in the following way. The eldest should get $14000 and one-third of the remaining estate. The sec ond should receive $2,000 and again, 1 one-third of the remainder of the estate and so on down to the youngest child. At the last, no remainder should be left for the youngest child; only the outright .sum. It is obvious that he had more than two chil dren, but just how many" is not revealed. After a number of years, when his fortune had consider ably increased and more over he had acquired two more children, he drew up a new will with exact ly the same stipulations. What was the size of the estate in both cases and, how many children had the testator?
