1 They say "old soldiers
never die-" and I think
the same phrase could be
applied to old Rag staff
members. The only thing
that breaks the tie with
the Rag's basement office
is eviction (some call it
graduation) from the
campus.
It seems that during
this first week of publica
tion I have found myself
several times in the midst
of the busy Rag crew,
"who surprisingly enough,
seemed to be functioning
4 quite efficiently without
me. It's always a blow
to find that someone else
is capable (probably more
bo) of filling the position -.
which once belonged to
you.
In' an attempt to con-
sole 'me, editor Ferg con
- sented to allow me to fre-
quent his editorial page.
I had several people ap-
: proach me last week and
express the opinion that
, the Student Union was fi
nally going high class
with .their "big name"
; entertainment.
They were referring to
the Thursday evening per
formances of jazz artist
Ahmad Jamal. It seems
there are students on
the campus who prefer a
real jazz artist such as
' Jamal to "The Brothers
4" or even George Shear-
'ing.
It Is hard to satisfy the
tastes of the entire cam
pus population with any
single program but the
next "big name" attrac
tion which the Union will
present in April comes
the closest of any pro
gram the Union has ever
offered. .
The April billing is for
a quartet known as "The
4 Saints," a new group
introduced to the Ag and
city union program coun
cils at the Region 8 Stu
dent Union Convention
held in Kansas City in
December.
The "Saints" perform
ance rated a standing
ovation from the crowd
and, in my estimation,
any entertainment group
has to be more than just
, good to get a standing
ovation from 300 college
students.
Extremely versatile is
the best phrase describ
ing "The Saints." The
four of them play 16 dif
ferent instruments and all
of them sing. The quar
tet does everything from
Kingston Trio music to
barber shop to opera!
(P.S. I rarely get so en
thused about entertainers.)
It seems the term
"moderation" is appli
cable in any situation or
movement now days.
Even the liberals and
conservatives seem to ad
here to some degree of
moderation.
I noted in an article
appearing in the World
Herald last week that
Sen. Barry Goldwater,
Mr. Conservative himself,
even admitted that it was
necessary to drive, off the
extremists who were be
ing attracted to the Con
servative movement. He
said there are a certain
number of "idiots" who
are always attracted t- a
movement in its biji-
nings. Goldwater contin
ued that these persons
are currently being at
tracted to the conserva
tive movement just as
they were to the liberalist
movement of the early
1930's.
Asked whether he was
referring to the John
Birch Society, his answer
indicated objection not to
the society in particular,
but any group that was
extreme. He cited the
leadership of Robert
Welch as his only objec
tion to the John Birch
Society. Goldwater pos
sibly considers Welch as
one of the extremists as
he described him as "in
temperate" and "unwise."
By the way, Sen. Gold
water will be visiting our
campus next month.
While in Lincoln he will
address an All University
convocation in the Colise
um. I would think this
convocation would be of
interest to everyone, even
Mr. Muenster and h i s
Young Democrats.
There's an old saying,
you know, about there be
ing two sides to every
question.
This weekend could be
a great preview to Srping
complete with slight at
tacks of spring fever and
sundeck hours.
But as the sun comes
up in the east or Satur
day morning resolutions
for rigid weekend study
hours to boost second
semester averages set in
the West.
In passing Good luck I
you all; I know I'll need j
it. !

Today in the

COMMANDMENT NO. 8
On Mr. Moses and
Chairman: Our principal business today
is consideration of a draft statement for
' the Ten Commandments especially
, .for Commandment No. 8 which deals
with stealing, as written by Mr. Moses.
, Since this statement was delivered to
you by runners in advance of the meet-
ing, let us assume that all of us have
read it. So, if there is no objection, we
wijl first have comments on the state
ment as a whole and then consider it
. word by word. Are there any general
. comments?
Mi. Ben j ami q: The statement is too
, long. The students and faculty at good
old Mt. Sinai University won't even look
at a statement as long as this. And Pres-
ident. Sphinx would be appalled.
" '. Mr. Judah: In the first paragraph,
; where it says: "You shall not steal, nor
deal falsely; nor shall you lie to one an
- other," what about the matter of selling
stolen final examinations? Shouldn't some
' thing about that be included?
i
. ' Chairman.' How would you word that
v addition?
Mr. Judah: Well, the stolen examina
tions could be distributed to those stu
dents with quiz files.
Chairman: Will the secretary please
read what he has down on that?
Secretary: "You shall not steal, nor deal
falsey; nor shall you lie to one another;
and if you steal examinations, they must
be sold only to those who have quiz files."
j v Mr. Israel: Eighth paragraph, line one:
" "You shall not steal, etc." Are we in a
position to make such a positive state
ment? Making the final decision is not
the, function of this committee.
' I
Mr. Jehu: I agree. I suggest the fol
. lowing reading: "In our opinion, students
should not steal, deal falsely, nor tell little
fibs; and if you, etc."
Chairman: All in favor of this change
will say "Me."
Mr. Aaron: Before we vote on that, I
feel the lack in this statement of any
motivation. Who are we? And why are
we saying anything at all on this sub
ject? I don't quite know how to word it
but there ought to be something here
about our basic educational purpose and
objectives. ,
.
Chairman; I see Mr. Judah has been
busy writing. Do you have a wording for
this addition? ,'
Cheating
Dear Editor:
The editorial published
Febr. 7, 1962 concerning
the student council is out
standing and the writer
deserves to be com
mended. It must take
courage to step out of the
strict pattern on honest
opinion.
I the Student Body is
"grossly misinformed"
the fault must be in dis
interest or lack of infor
mation. How can any
"lowly" student be inter
ested in subjects which
are reserved only for the
elite and are evidently so
Mr. Judah: How about this? "As stu
dents and members of the academic
community, guardians of the Command
ments vouchsafed at Mt. Sinai and since
approved by. the Student Council and the
Class of 1290, B.C., it is our opinion, etc."
Mr. Israel: That sounds nresnmnhiniie.
We are not the only students and mem
bers of the academic community. We have
no right to speak for everybody, including
the faculty.
Mr. Judah: You are probably right.
How about this? "As the Cheating Com
mittee on the Ten Commandments, and
as one one-thousandth of one per cent of
the academic community, and speaking
only for ourselves, we are on the whole
of the opinion, etc."
Mr. Benjamin: I'm not quite satisfied
with that reference to telling little fibs.
Let's be realistic. If everyone in the whole !
university were to quit telling fibs, we'd
have to cancel all scholarships, eliminate
most of the dating, and fire the athletic
department. The Alumni would never
siana tor mat.
Mr. Jehu: Mr. Chairman, I move that
a sub-committee be appointed to re-draft
Mr. Moses' statement, taking into account
the suggestions made here, and that we
meet again after the new moon to re
consider this whole section, including the
revision.
Mr. Eliphaz: I hope the sub-committee
will take into their consideration that the
comma in the third line from the top
ought to be a semi-colon.
Mr. Aaron: Yes, and I hope that when
the revision is prepared for final advance
distribution, it will be written on papyrus
paper instead of stone. It's awfully hard
to re-use these old tablets in the Univer
sity johns. t
Chairman: Thank you very much, gentle
men. I think that we all want to thank
Mr. Moses for his very fine preliminary
statement. At our next meeting I hope
that we can come up with something
that is really good. Meanwile, let's all
remember that our God Elohim is count
ing on us to tell Him what we want Him
to command. Shall we close our meeting
with a friendship circle as we stand to
sing our University anthem, "There Is
No Place Like Sinai." All together, now.

University Pastor, UCCF.
far above the meager av
erage intelligence on this
campus that they couldn't
be understood in any
event?
It is due time that the
Student Council received
the credit which they so
justly deserve. Before
credit can be given to
either side, all parties
concerned must be on the
same level. Open your
eyes Student Council and
let us in on all the
secrets. '
Aristocratic governing
is not the solution. The
students want the vote.
