BROTHERHOOD WEEK
You Set The Pace ...
"... 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

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.

The CCUN is a strong

which will be of tremen
dous assistance to our

group with related inter
ests, which will, I'm sure,
be able to kelp us.

gardless of their religion, race or national
origin."
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. Re-exaimine
yourself and your attitudes. Fight the
prejudice within yourself and then help
others to understand the meaning of true
freedom and equality for all by example.

If there are anyt stu

as there were a few ,
weeks ago who are in
terested in the potential

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

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

resolution, attempts to
elevate the interests of
students and provide
worthwhile programs for
their participation. Re

The campus is at a
turning point because the

Scotland Yard is on the
scent of stolen liquor,
! pilfered from the wine
i cellar at Windsor Castle.
A dozen bottles are un
i accounted for, removed
I from Queen Elizabeth's
i private stock. Somebody
"broke into the liquor
cabinet in the castle
cellar."
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. The
British press applauded
his common-man manner.

But I think, beneath it
all, they did not r e a 1 1 y

Princess Maggie's all
night partying with cafe
society raised a few eye
brows, but observers, re
calling nostalgically the
one-time gambits of the
Prince of Wales, smiled
on the forays of the fun
loving Princess.
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.
The recently titled
commoner has conducted
himself rather admirably
since his marriage to
Paul Harvey, one of .
America's f a s t e s t-rising
news commentators, has
joinned the editorial col
lumns of the Daily Nebras

While Paul Harvey has
been called very conserva
tive and, as most of us,
several other names, his
columns do deserve some
thought.

But the British people,
however they voice al
most unanimous approval
for the Royal Family's re
cent compromises, with
dignity, don't really mean
it.
You can tell by the new
open-s e a s o n in Hyde
Park. Previously the
Royal Family was off-limits
for the slanderous ora
tory of the soap-box crack
pots. Not any more.
British columnists open
ly accuse Royal parents
of child neglect when they
junket abroad.

viously unheard of, pilfer

alone, maintains the im

It is understandable if
the remnant of Royalty
residing in Britain does
not wish to invite resent
ment of the masses. 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.
When the .p e r o x i d e
blonde in the tight red
dress enters the room,
every eye turns. Every
body wants to meet her.
But nobody wants to
take her home to meet

" This is not a puzzle nor
a pop quiz for the week.
You don't have to major
in mathematics to under

and some of you, maybe,
even practice it every now
and then. I promise tha!
we shall be able to inter

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

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

to be able to do such a
job. '
Sometimes I wish I
were but I do not regret
what I study.' You don't
have to know it because
I don't know what you
study. So, we are even!
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.

due apologies to the fe

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
