Pakistani Student ViewMGoaIndian Dispute
By Nancy Whitford
Asad Ali Khan, Pakistani
student from the region of
the Khyber Pass, compares
the Goa invasion to India's
swatting of a mosquito while
forced with threats from a
near-by wild elephant.
The "elephant" or Red
China, is in occupation of
about 50,000 square miles
of Indian border territory

Khan said, "but India con

Four students, one faculty
member and one honorary
nomination have been re
ceived for Outstanding Ne
braskan. In addition, a sec
ond letter was received nom
inating Dr. Charles Patterson
for the faculty award.
The nominations closed
Tuesday at 5 p.m.
The honorary nomination
goes to Don Ferguson, the
new faculty nominee is Dr.
Paul A. Olson of the English
department, while the four
students are- Sukey Tinan,
Roy Arnold, J mi Huge and
Jim Samples.
Don Ferguson
The letter making Ferguson
an honorary nominee read:
"In placing the name of
Don Ferguson in nomination
for Outstanding Nebraskan,
we hope not only to show our
appreciation and sincere
thanks for what he has done
for the University of Nebras
ka, but to demonstrate to
others, as Ferg does daily,
those qualities that exemplify
a true campus leader, a
warm personal friend and an
individual above reproach. Al
though Don is not eligible for
the final award because of
his position as Business Man
ager of the Daily Nebraskan,
it would not be fitting to ex
clude his name from any list
of outstanding Nebraskans.
"Don's activities on and off
the campus are phenomenal.
He is presently serving as
president of the IFC, presi
dent of Phi Gamma Delta,
Business Manager of the Dai
ly Nebraskan and has served
as president of the Young
Democrats. Each office rep

three years of tireless work
and unceasing devotion. Don

what I have already said
is sufficient, but Pakistan
needs further comment,
Khan said.
Self-Determination
He said that the main
problem between India and
Pakistan was the solution
of self-determination by the
people of Kashmir which
India had brought the UN.
The UN stipulated that Pak

not his primary qualifications
for recognition.
"In all of his work, Don
has never lost sight of his
idealistic goal of true fra
ternalism based on respect,
love of brother, moral forti
tude and high ambition. All
those who know 'Fergy' and
have worked with him over
the years have indeed been
richly rewarded.
"This campus has rarely
been blessed with a man of
such high integrity. He has
been an immeasurable asset
and will continue to be con
tributing to campus life as
long as any who have known
him well are still in school.
Above all, he vrill never

Olson stated: ?

QUIET HOURS!!!!
This plea will be resounding
throughout living quarters as
University students suddenly
realize that finals (excuse
the expression) are just about
here.
Freshmen will be t a k 1 n g
final exams for the first time.
The big problem in many of
their lives at this moment is
the question of whether or not
they will make their average.
Adding, dividing, and adding
it again, they strive to have
present grades average out
to at least that magic num
ber 5.000.
Seeking reassurance from
those who know, freshmen ask
the age-old question: "What
are finals really like?" They
can 'receive answers ranging
from "Don't sweat 'em. You'll
raise your average at least
a whole point." to "They are
really rough. They can bring
your average down in a hur
ry." Many Ideas
Upperclassmen have vari
ous ideas on the subject of
"snowing" the finals. Varia
tions of study schedules in
clude: cram, cram, cram; a
combination of steady study
ing and sleep; and steady
studying with the short breaks
routine.
Others believe that this is
the time to get plenty of sleep
replaced with UN forces.
He said, "Some people in
India justify the grabbing
away of Kashmir by t h e
fact that the ruler signed
an agreement annexing the
state with India, but this
agreement was not valid
without a vote by the peo
ple." Khan listed Junagarh and
Manavadar as two small
states that acceded to Pak
istan, but were occupied by
Indian forces.
He corrected an earlier
statement by another Pak
istani student that the state

cation as well as a number
of shorter reviews. In addi
tion to his articles in his
special field of medieval lit-
jerature, he has also pub
lished criticism on Shakes
peare, Vaughan and Ezra
Pound. At present he is
working on a , book-length
study of the Canterbury
Tales.
"As a teacher, Mr. Olson
combines a great love of lit
erature with 4 sincere inter
est in his students. In h i s
lectures, he tries to remove
obstacles to the understand
ing of literature so that the
student can experience for
himself the thrill of contact
with the great minds of west
ern culture. He inspires his
students to think deeply
about the problems of achiev
ing a commercial integrity,
just government and loyal
personal relationships. As an
adviser to undergraduates, he
has guided a number of
brilliant students into the
courses best for them, helped
them to enter graduate school
and showed them how to ap
ply for financial aid. He has
directed six master's theses
and one doctoral dissertation
in the four years he has been
on the graduate faculty. He
has been willing to help stu
dents without regard to
whether he received recogni
tion for his work or not.
"Mr. Oison contributes his
time and effort to the Uni
versity at all levels. He took
an active part in organizing
the present freshman English
program and has worked dili
gently in the development of
the graduate program, of
which he is now chairman.
He is also chairman of the
senate committee on com
mittees. "Mr. Olson is a native of
Nebraska. He has a great
love for this state, and has
(12-14 hours), enough relaxa
tion and entertainment, a
"once-over-lightly" routine
as far as subjects are con
cerned. Some students have been
firmly converted to the idea
that one should study hard,
but the night before the final,
should go out and relax.
Places to study range from
the grill, to the Crib, to the
dorm, to the stacks. Trunk
rooms, chapter rooms, base
ments, and dining rooms are
converted to individual study
halls. Some students rent
rooms at hotels for the day
in order to achieve utter
peace and quiet.
Good Luck
Traditional good luck prac
tices -for insuring good grades
on the finals are also in use.
Many coeds feel it's a rule
not to put up their hair while
they're studying. Certain
clothes must also be worn to
insure good luck. One coed
has always read the complete
works of Sherlock Holmes
each final period in order to
relax.

mad hours for letting off pres

going to raise my average a

of Hyderabad was a part of
Pakistan.
Khan said this state had
decided not to accede either
to India or Pakistan as was
its right under the provis
ions of the Charter of Free
dom granted to India and
Pakistan by the British
government in 1947.
"But by September, 1948,
Indian forces marched in
and subdued Hyderabad,"
Khan said.
Khan said the justification
that these states were Hin

of Kashmir where the over
refused attractive positions
elsewhere in order to con
tinue his work here. Last
summer he headed a state
wide committee of elemen
tary, high school and. college
teachers to plan a unified
course of study in English
from kindergarten through
junior college. Financed by a
grant from the Woods Foun
dation, this committee pro
duced a book-length curricu-,
lum study which has received
national recognition. This
work has been described in a
Lincoln Journal editorial as
"a credit to the University
and its English department."
"Mr. Olson commands the
respect and friendship of both
students and faculty for his
sincerity, personal honesty
and complete absence of van
ity or professional jealousy.
Because students admire him
and wish to imitate his good
qualities, his influence is
much wider than any mere
record of achievements can
show."
Dr. Patterson
The second letter of nomi
nation for Dr. Patterson em
phasized many of the same
qualities as the first, namely
his activities and contributions
to the University as a scholar,
a teacher, administrator and
a citizen. The letter also
stated: "A long time resident,
whose influence is strenuously
felt within the University and
the community, and whose
reputation now extends far
beyond the borders of t h e
state, he is genuinely an out
standing Nebraskan."

NOTTS THE TIME...
Now's the time for all good students to come to the
aid of students who are less fortunate. With the much
often quoted count down of jthe fantastically too close
beginning of finals, students are searching (some pray
ing) for an answer to the time aged problem of taking
the last exam of the almost extinct semester. Some even
turn to studying.

"The two wonderful gad
gets in the Indian show-case
are "neutrality and non

trality justified the claim
of Khrushchev on the entire
city of Berlin and non-violence
became manifest in
Goa.
"Pakistan never thought
of grabbing a single inch

believe in justice within
