EDITORIAL OPINION

Survey Needs
Student Voice
Now that the interim study on student services has s
been released by Dr. Jonathan Warren of the University
counseling service it might be an opportune time to elab- x
orate on his findings.
If any one thing stood out in his statements made to
the Daily Nebraskan in Monday's issue it was his concern
over lack of student concern and opinion in the areas of
student services. "I am disturbed that I got as little re-
action as I did when I questioned students about the Uni-
versity and administration exercising too much control
over them both in class and out," Warren noted. Such a I
statement comes as a shock to us. i
A quick check over the years will find that the num
ber one problem found year after year is student apathy.
Why were they apathetic? In nine cases out of 10 students
felt that the University administrators were not giving
them a fair shake on many issues in student affairs and
services. The announcement of the study of student af
fairs and services by the special faculty committee and
the subsequent statement that students would be asked
for help in making the study was cause for elation on our
part. We felt perhaps for the first time students had the
perfect opportunity to air their opinions. Now we see a
reversal.
We can think of no sound reason why students do not
take this chance to "let off steam." Dr. Warren certainly
seems to be more than ready to listen. If more student
opinion is not gathered due to student Indifference for the
final report, any subsequent action in these are,as cannot
be criticized validly by students. If there are any types of
gripes students have, the study group would be more than
happy to receive them.
As we mentioned shortly after the study group an-
nounced it would accept student participation in the study,
the University administrators have gone half way and
the rest is left up to the students. Our obligation remains
90 per cent unfulfilled. s

Staff Views
Over the Top
With four days of class left in the semester, this is
the last of Over the Top columns. It would seem to many
that this should come as a disheartening blow to yours
truly. This is not the case, however. After nearly four
years with this publication I imagine I feel somewhat
the same as many previous emwrs nave as
they wrote their final columns: I am ready
to leave.
I will not go into the benefits of being
associated with the paper other than it
has been an educational experience and a
big factor in my campus life. I feel per
haps now is the time to reflect the past
semester and take a glance towards the
future.
Recently I spoke with a former editor
of this paper and he told me how he came
tntn thie nffifp with set ideas and a deter-
v;i.fn a eHnlr hv hie mine
JllUiaiXVl IrV OVAWa. KfJ a.-. -- -
the time he left the editor's chair he wondered if he really
did have an opinion. I think this is, to some degree, my
situation. No one knows everything.
An early issue this year was the IFC fining of two
fraternities for violating pledge class sneak rules. As it
turned out a misunderstanding between myself and the
IFC president was at the base of the argument. Both of
us had a good case in our argument but we were not
working from the same premise. Moral: Be damn sure
you know what your talking about before you start. Both
the IFC and the Daily Nebraskan profited.
Next was the student who wrote the letter to the Rag
which appeared to be straight communistic party line.
. We printed the letter and this office was deluged with
letters totaling nearly a full page in protest to his letter.
In retrospect I would have printed the letter with an
editor's note noting that the views of the letter did not
reflect the views of the Nebraskan just for the record.
At any rate I feet the letter should have appeared and the
response (I hope the state legislature will note) was
heartening and quite American.
Next was. the suspension of two Pi Xis from school.
This paper took a strong stand against these organiza
tions at the time and I would do the same tomorrow. I
said this although one of the suspended was a fraternity
brother and after our stand I received visits from both
organizations.
With the possibility of moving graduation exercises
from the Coliseum to Pershing Auditorium,, another stand
was taken. This time against the possibility of the switch
which I felt and still feel would be a loss of a time-honored
tradition. Nevertheless, it looks as though Pershing
will be used in the future. Not necessarily because
of its advantage over the Coliseum. Administrators say
multiple graduation sites will be used as graduation
classes increase in size.
Right or wrong on our stands I feel this paper would
have violated its purpose had it not spoken out for or
against' these Issues. More important to students and
faculty alike, the Dally Nebraskan still remains as an
outlet for reader opinion. In fact (via a check in the
dusty files) more letters were received and printed this
semester than any previous semester.
Needless to say this newspaper cannot exist only on
the work of one individual. Behind the scenes there are
those who put out a similar effort day after day without
a mention, recognition or thanks. These are the people
who make this newspaper what it is and not the singular
spokesman of the publication. To them I offer my hearti

Political Statement
Dear Sir:
I would like to bring
to your notice that in the
issue of Jan. 15, 1962, of
, your paper, a grossly er
roneous statement made
by Mr. Baqui has been
published under the title
'World in focus." The
statement is, 'Hyderabad,
. , . was a. part of Pak
istan but Indian forces
marched into the territory
and forced the ruler to re
linquish his power to In
dia.' '
Hyderabad was never a
part of Pakistan, and I
challenge Mr. Baqui to of
fer evidence for it. It was
a small state governed by
a Maharaja who was a
Moslem and so were there
many 'other Maharajas at
that time. When India
achieved the freedom and
had a constitution, Indian
Government request
ed all these Maharajas
to give up their states and
become a part of the In
dian Republic. Everyone
did so gladly, except this
crack head of Hyderabad
state. When peaceful
methods failed Indian
Government took 'police
action' and Joined that
state to the Indian Repub
lic. The head of that state
still has all his personal
property which runs into
millions of dollars, and
on top of it Indian Gov
ernment is paying him
highly to keep his status.
This is the true story,
which either your reporter
Miss Whitford has misun
derstood or Mr. Baqai has
given false statements. In
either case you should
make an effort to find out
with whom the mistake
lies? It should be pointed
out here that such erron
eous statement has caused
a great concern among
the Indian students and
also among our American
friends who know India's
background very well.
Another point that I
would like to make is you
should discourage any pol
itical statement from any
foreign student. In the
first place many of us
feel that we are not here
to offer explanations for
the political maneuvers of
our country, nor any one
of us is qualified to do
that. There are people,
appointed by our respec
tive Governments who are
better qualified to do this
job and they have their
places in Washington and
in the U.N. Statements
from such unqualified stu
dents often run into the
danger of incorrectness,
Immature thoughts and
misunderstandings.
A letter requesting to
I -A
&ue amv by;
Nebraskan Letterip
discourage such state
menls from foreign stu
dents has been sent to
the Chancellor along with
the copy of this letter.
I hope you will serious
ly look into this matter.
If I am of any assistance
in that please do not hesi
tate to call on me.
Thanking you.
Sincerely,
Hemchandra P. Tipnis
(Editor's Note: Baqai's
comments were volun
teered rather than solic
ited by the Daily Nebras

kan reserves the right to
solicit information from
any student, and wel

the paper. It is not pos
sible to check every state
ment which a source
makes for publication and
we welcome any correc
tions. The Nebraskan does
not feel that foreign stu
dents should be discour
aged from making state
ments on political sub
jects. We feel the "dan
ger" from incorrectness,
immature thoughts and
is much greater when
such thoughts are stifled
rather than wheif they are
aired in a free press for
all to read. We feel it is
significant that the Indian
students did not request
us to discourage the print
ing of these opinions on
the previous day when
India's position on the Goa
invasion was told'. Both
sides should have their
say, and today it was
Pakistan's turn.)

IS STUDYING NECESSARY?
Once there were three roommates and their names were Walter
Pellucid, Casimir Fing, and LeRoy Holocaust and they were all
taking English lit. and they were all happy, friendly, outgoing
types and they all smoked Marltoro Cigarette1 as you would
expect from such a gregarious trio, for Marlboro is the very es
sence of sociability, the very spirit of amity, and very soul of
concord, with its tobacco so mild and flavorful, ite pack so
king-size and flip-top, its filter so pure and white, and you will
find when you smoke Mariboros that the world is filled with thn
song of birds and no man's hand is raised against you.
Each night after dinner Walter and Casimir and LeRoy went
to their room and studied English lit. For three hours they sat
in sombre silence and pored over their books and then, squinty,
and spent, they toppled onto their palleta and sobbed them
selves to sleep. v
This joyless situation obtained all through the first semeetec.
Then one night they were all simultaneously struck by a mar
velous idea. "We are all studying the same thing," they cried,
"Why, then, should each of us study for three hours? Why not
each study for one hour? It is true we will only learn one-third
as much that way, but it does not matter because there am
three of us and next June before the exams, we can get together
and pool our knowledge !"
Oh, what rapture then fell on Walter and Caeiour uni LtRoyt
They flung their beanies into the air and danced a gavotU aad
lit thirty or forty Mariboros and ran out to pursue the pleasure,
which had so long, so bitterly, been miming from their Uvea,
Alas, they found instead a series of pigly misfortunes.
Walter, alas, went searching for love and was soon going steady
with a eoed named Invicta Breadstuff, a handsome lass, but,
alas, hopelessly addicted to bowling. Each VugKt aha bowled
five hundred lines, some nights a thousarfd. Poor Walter'
thumb was a shambles and his purse was empty, but InvicU
just kept on bowling and in the end, alar, she left Walter for a
pin-better, which was a terrible thing to do to Walter, especial)
in this case, because the pin-setter was automatic.
Walter, of course, was far too distraught to study his EngUak
lit, but he took some comfort from the fact that his roommates)
were studying and they would help him before the exams. But
Walter, alas, was wrong. His roommates, Casimir and LeRoy
were natun lovers and they used their free time to go for long
tramps in the woods and one night, alas, they were treed by
two bears, Casimir by brown bear and LeRoy by a kodiak,
and they were kept in the trees until spring set in and tho
bears went to Yellowstone for the tourist season.
So when the three roommates met before exams to pool their
knowledge, they found they had none to pool I Well sir, they had
a good long laugh about that and then rushed to the kitchen
and stuck their heads in the oven. It was, however, an electris
oven and the effects were, on the whole, beneficial. The wax in
their ears got melted and they acquired a healthy tan and
