AND SO, MY" FELLOW AMERICANS, ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU-ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY." . , President Kennedy Probably one of the most frequently asked questions In America today is, "What can I do for my country?" There appears, however, an inadquacy and an . inability to transfer the desire into action in response to the president's inaugural challenge. this is Brotherhood Week, sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Every year, during the week of George Washington's birthday, we are called upon to rededicate ourselves to the basic principles of our democracy. The purpose of this week, according to tha Conference's constitution, is to "pro mote justice, amity understanding and cooperation among Protestants, Catholics and Jews, and to analyze, moderate and strive to eliminate intergroup prejudices which disfigure and distort religious, busi ' ness, social and political relations, with a view to the establishment of a social or der in which the religious ideals of broth erhood and justice shall become the standards of human relationships." Brotherhood Week calls upon all Ameri cans to help eradicate bigotry, fear and prejudice, not only during this week, but throughout the entire year. It is impossi ble to achieve any objective in one short week. This can not be a "crush diet." 'We live in a time of precarious balance. Today as never before, in the face of world challenge, we must establish and rededicate our belief in the human dig nity of man. Differences are merely one of the mir acles of nature. Every snow flake, every fingerprint, every laugh and every cry each is different. Try to imagine a world in which everything was the same. ' Bob Hope, who served as Brotherhood Week chairman last year, proclaimed f that: i "No one has a corner on the laugh mar ket. Throughout the world, people share the teas.ure 0f enjoying a good joke, story, of being 'entertained. People the . world ' over also share the desire for , . peace, freedom and brotherhood which is no laughing matter. "Brotherhood Week has become a -great national event . . . Brotherhood is the way to peace and freedom in the world f ... it must begin in our own backyard so that its loving arms will stretch around the world to all people everywhere, re ' S I 4 J h ft The Student Council last Wednesday took two important steps. One was the .introduction of the National Student Associ ation resolution: to affili ate the University of Ne braska with that organiza tion. The other was to place the Collegiate Coun cil on the United Nations in no n-Student Council bands. The NSA resolution will . provide an opportunity for study and debate con cerning the controversial group. The controversy arises from toe political resolutions and actions taken by the association, such as its opposition to the House Un-American Activities Committee and 1 its active support of sit in demonstrations in the South. It will com a? no great surprise when the local opponents to Nebraska's , affiliation cite these stands. t On the other, hand, the NSA is the only body of its nature in the United States, and the only American student organi zation recognized by the International Student Commission, in which na tional student groups frqm seventy-three coun tries participate. Ed Gar vey, president of the NSA, pointed out that last year -v the U.S. delegation was . able to counter-act pro Communist agitation with in the international body and score a notable vic tory over the Commu nists. It is unlikely that tha Commission would have adopted the same resolutions had there teen no American delegation."

' ' EDITORIAL As I See It The NSA actively fights Communism not only through its leadership in the International Student Commission, but by its fi nancial and moral sup port of individual demo cratic national student groups abroad, and its fi nancial sponsorship of many foreign students for study in this country. Affiliation with the NSA will make Nebraska an active participant dealing with national and interna tional problems. . There are, of course, local mat ters which are considered by the NSA, but the fact remains that its empha sis is on problems of a larger scale. We cannot expect any group so involved not to become controversial if it carries any. weight at all. What Nebraska stu dents must not lose sight of is that the NSA acts as an advisor to the Peace Corps, and con ducts tours of the United States for our State De partment. It is definitely not a subversive or pink organization. it it Student Council Presi dent Steve Gage, also on Wednesday a p p o i n t ed two temporary co-chairmen to assume leadership for the Collegiate Council on the United Nations. I will be serving in this capacity with Kenneth Fouts, junior in Teacher's College. The CCUN is a strong national" organization which will be of tremen dous assistance to our local chapter. There is also,, in Lincoln, an adult group with related inter ests, which will, I'm sure, be able to kelp us.

Governor Nelson D. Rockefeller, also a past chairman of Brotherhood Week, pro- claimed that laws protect us against evil and foster the common good. He contin- ued by stating that laws alone were not sufficient, but can be given life and mean- ing only by the dictates of the human heart. "We have a Bill of Rights in America, and it is the Magna Carta of our privi- leges. We have no comparable Bill of Re- sponsibilities, for such cannot be written into our laws. It can only be written in the Conscience of each one of us," said Rockefeller. No American can escape responsibility to work for Brotherhood. You can do something for your country.

MAW by joel lundak If there are anyt stu dents on this campus as there were a few , weeks ago who are in terested in the potential ity of this organization, we hope they will step forward and say so. All of the materials we need to work with are avail able. All we lack is the people to' use them. The CCUN steering commit tee will announce more de finite plans on Wednes day in the Daily Nebras kan. There have been dur ing the past year and a half frequent and 1 1 o u d complaints about student apathy and inactivity. A surprising number of these complaints have come from within our own ranks. As a result, we are see ing, particularly in the CCUN, the People to Peo pie program, and the NSA resolution, attempts to elevate the interests of students and provide worthwhile programs for their participation. Re sponsible student leader ship is trying to arouse ' responsible student body action. The campus is at a turning point because the Student Council defeated the bid of the CCUN for Council "parentage."

A member of the staff calls it "a major out rage." He says, "It's not so much what was taken " as the idea that anyone should break' into the Queen's own home!" The incident might be dismissed lightly were it not indicative of the ero sion of respect which royalty generally has suf fered recently. Perhaps it began with ' Prince Philip's flaunting of protocol, his freewheel ing adventuring. I remem- , ber the British, at the time, appeared to approve his un-stuffed shirt.

Then one day the Lon don newspapers published a four-column photo of the Queen Mother "shooting pool with the boys." How ever innocent this con trived fraternizing, it was ..... somehow unbecoming a queen. And now Tony Jones.

This, they fear, is what chased most ot the- rest of Eur ope's royal families into exile. It was the excesses of some royal rulers which earned such opposition, to be sure. But it id possible ' to be excessively humble, too. ' And it is possible to misconstrue applause for approval.

I promise tha! we shall be able to inter pret the heading but I am not sure whether we will come out with the same answer. The Daily Nebraskan is using quite a few slogans these days, like "People Are Just People," "Think . International," and what not. What has gone wrong with the people in t h e basement of the Student Union? Does it make you think about them? If so, what do. you feel about such headlines being made in our student newspaper? Is there anything wrong with us? Are we doing what we want to or what we should? Where do we need to lay more empha sis? ' I do not like t h o u g h t control and I hope you : 'Will go along with' me in ' that direction. I have never liked It in my life; have always resisted it. Believe it or not, it is un wise to be brain-washed. We should all be con cerned about what goes on behind the Iron Curtain as well as in other parts of the world.. The opportunities our Alma Mater presents to us are enormous and non quantifiable. Have you ever stopped to think that if you are spending more time, on certain activities and. enjoying them less then you can change to something else, something more rewarding to you, to your friends and associ ates, to your community, and to your country?' You may be a 1 r e a d y thinking that I do not or ganize my writing. Who knows, you may be right! . However, I think I should not keep you in the dark any longer. .

But what about that equation on top? Let me give you some clues to the problem. D stands for DIFFERENCE and I for INDIFFERENCE. When you add these up, you get nothing, and I mean NOTHING.. To realize it, we need to do a little bit of soul-searching. As hu man beings, we have cer tain built-in attitudes to wards others. It does not matter whether you are from Tasmania, New Zea land, Beatrice or Halsey. We say that people are just people in one breath but when it comes to pro fessing we say that they are different, radical, ag gressive, and What not. Is it their difference or our indifference towards them. This is not only true when it comes to in terpersonal relationships between foreign students and American students but also among foreign students, as well as among American students. Arabs don't like the Jews r Turks hesitate becoming inti mate with Iranians or vice versa. There are some of the rumors we hear m the world. I hope that such feelings do not exist among those nationals on our campus! Some of these so called differences may be con spicuous like the d r e s s, the food, speech-accent, mannerism, etiquette and what have you. Then there are certain differ ences that are in- conspicuous or hidden. Let ' us say that you belong to a different religion, that you think in a different manner, or you drink cof fee with cream and sug ar! What does it add up to? How valid are -these differences? Do they pre sent insurmountable prob lems? What can we do to work out these differ ences and thus come close to each other? Can we af ford to sink these differ ences and thus create a world of unity in diver sity? I am sure most of you will agree with me that our times demand that we create mu tual understand ing among nations in the world. You know it, as well as I do, that the best place to start is with the individual. You don't have to be a social sci entist to be interested in things outside your own home, your immediate family, your state or your country. . Who knows, you may be appointed a representative -of your government over seas, you may go to one country .or another to ' practice your profession, or you may join the Peace Corps or a company that has international opera tions and may require rel evant knowledge on. your part.

Perhaps there are greater possibil ities of students coming from countries in Africa, Asia or Latin America to attain positions of respon sibility upon return to their homes. So, why miss a chance of "working on them" or with them right in your own home? Are you missing the boat? . Do we need to empha size our point any further? Why don't we take off this garb of indifference?-1 am -struggling to achieve this goal myself and I k n o w that it takes time, energy, patience you name it!
