B-BALL TOURNEY
Weekend of Opportunity
" Greetings from the common man. I
hail you not as an advocate nor an op
ponent of NSA; not as a member of
CCUN; not as a delegate to the Model
UN; not as a supporter or advisory of
our illustrious, "literate and popular stu
dent leader." I am a common run-of-the-mill
student.
I attend classes occasionally, have cof
fee In the Union, have a good looking
pinmate, and attend activity meetings.
Strange as it may seem, I also have an
interest in my University. I have a good
time on campus and feel it offers , out
Standing opportunities for an excellent
education in the formal academic field
and in extra-curricular activities. I like to
talk about the good qualities of the Uni
versity of Nebraska and might even mus
ter a good speech or a holler and scream
about it if absolutely necessary.
To make a long story short, HIGH
SCHOOL BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTS
ARE THIS WEEKEND. It has been said
before; every year hundreds, nay thou
sands, of high schoolers invade our cam
pus for three whole glorious, fun-filled,
thrilling, days. The University officials
turn over the Coliseum to them. The
Lincoln businessmen cator to their tastes
in their advertising. The Nebraska Union
sets up special eating and amusement
facilities for them and even plans a
dance for them. The sororities and espe
cially fraternities consider this a choice
rushing opportunity.
In general, the facilities of the whole
campus and community are laid at the
feet of these wild teenagers. Why? To
show the students a good time while
they are on campus? TRUE. To show
these students what good facilities the
campus affords? TRUE. To show them
that the University is large enough for
good quality in its various educational
endeavors TRUE and despite its
size it is filled with friendly students
WELL what about that last one?
Fight it as we may, scowl as we might,
we have to admit that we are friendly.
In fact we even like these high schoolers
as individuals no reference to the
'cheering mobs.' What is worse, we would
even like to tell some of 'these high
school kids' how great life on the U. of
N. campus is, and how much they would
gain by coming to school here.
Now that I have written thoroughly
around my point, I will state it. Look
twice at the gang that will descend upon
our fair campus Thursday and will depart
late Saturday. They are high school stu
dents now, but really we yes you and
i would like to see them choose our
campus as their future university too.
Believe it or not, there are some healthy
and outstanding brains among their
group. They are now making their de
cisions about whether or not to go to
college, and if so, where. So despite
social conformity be yourself and
smile at these teenagers. Direct them
when they lock lost. Talk to the ones
from your home town. Help them find
the information booth with Union and
Builders workers. They will be ready
with information about all phases of Uni
versity life and where to go for more
information or any other campus service.
Answer questions when you can. Do
tell them what you hate to admit. This
is one of the top Universities in the
Midwest. May none of us be afraid to
show our pride before a bunch of high
school kids who challenge us this week
end. They really are anxious to hear
and see it!
Respectfully,
A BUILDER

What You As a College Grad
Should Know About Your Health
By Ann Moyer
It's a mark of accom-
I plishment in the journal
istic world when a col
umnist has critics. There
fore, comments regard
ing my Student Council
voicings directed my "
way by Mr. Nolon early
last week were more than
welcome. No other mem
ber of the Council came
to the defense, so evi
dently I wasn't wrong
about him being one of
the few leaders who may
exist either actively or
dormantly within the
the group.
If there be any talent
ed souls among the cam
pus population who enjoy
turning their hand at
writing, say, short stories,
sketches or poetry,, par
ticularly in the humorous
or satirical vein, I would
be most interested in see
ing some of your work.
A small group of stu
dents are presently at
work on an undercover
project which will be in
troduced to the campus
in the near future. If
you're interested in know
ing more about what we
are doing and submitting
anything from you port
folios just contact me or
Mary Weatherspoon who
is found daily in the
basement niche in th
Student Union wall "the
Cornhusker Panel Edi
tor's office."

So NSA is here to
stay; or at least until the
final vote of the Student
Council in April. I see
the Council is assuming
another of those "we are
the only responsible crea
tures on campus" atti
tudes about the whole af
fair in not electing to x
allow the campus com- -munity
to decide the mat
ter. Naturally, there is a
certain portion of the stu
dent body who would nev
er be interested in any
campus event unless it
happened to be a fire in
their own dorm room.
However, there is also
the other portion of the
student body who will
make the effort to be
come informed on the
USNSA issue and who
will form an opinion con
cerning the organization
and its place on this
campus. These persons
should have the right of
expressing their opinion
through a ballot cast ei
ther for or against Uni
versity's association with
the USNSA.
Some ground has been
gained concerning t h e
question of an all cam
pus vote on NSA. The
Council got the vote up
to 13-12 Wednesday de
feating , an all campus
vote by one. Seems as
how certain members of
the Council feel they will
be willing to vote for an
all-campus election at
the right time.
Their, reasoning is that
if the Council lets the
students in on the big se
cret now that they are
going to get the chance
to vote on the NSA is
sue in the spring, cam
pus interest in the whole
affair will wane before
April.
These Council members
who are opposed at this
time to voting for an all
campus decision concern
ing NSA affiliation feel
the Council should tak
advantage of the spot
light attention which the
issue has brought them.
Regarding the organiza
tion itself, I have certain
ly never before encoun
tered a group which in
spires such pessimism as
the NSA. As yet, I have
not met one student who
was either definitely for
or against the NSA. .
It seems strange that a
group which claims to be
the representative voice of
the college students of
our nation has only 400
college chapters in this
country. It also seems
strange that the original
membership of NSA, when
it was founded some 14
. years ago, was approxi
mately 356 chapters. The
turnover rate in mem
ber schools has been tre
mendous, the dropout
rate being almost as high
as the addition rate.
Doesn't it seem logical
that the students should
be informed now whether
they are or are not going
to vote on the NSA
issue? The study groups
sponsored by the Council,
Panhell and others cer
tainly would be of great
er benefit to all. Students
would be able to come to
a more conclusive and
objective decision if they
started now.

I have gained a great
word for my vocabulary
in the last two months or
so. Suddenly when t h e
great seniors are put on
the spot about successors
in house and activity po
sitions, they develop an
extreme case of "wishy
washyness" better known
as "the decision for the
moment is ask me in
ten minutes and I'll change
my mind."
Oh my, the trials and
tribulations of trying to
make objective decisions
when people and personal
ities are involved. I keep
wondering how pople on
the outside of this insti
tution handle similar sit
uations. Something tells
me perhaps it would be
best to shake the "wishy.
wash" approach but fast.
First, know yourself. This has been so
stated by the philosophers throughout
the ages. To know yourself is a neces
sary prerequisite to achieve a "sound
mind and a sound body." It is essential
to understand how you function phys
ically and mentally including an ap
preciation of your capabilities, strengths
and weaknesses. To achieve optimum
health, you need to acquire an appre
ciation for the conditions that stimulate
sound physical, mental and spiritual
growth and development to maturity and
to adapt these to yourself.
Second, you should have an apprecia
ation for the health problems that occur
in the various stages and periods of life
in order to adequately cope with them
and maintain one's health. This should
include a knowledge of th 1 environment
in which you live and its effect on your
health. It is important to understand the
physical and mental stresses of life and
how to control thei . in order to avoid
the breakdown of one's own health and
instead to utilize these stresses for cre
ativity. Third, you should have an adequate
knowledge of present day preventive pro
cedures for the maintenance of health
and how to effectively utilize these pro
cedures. Fourth, you should have a working
knowledge of medical resources includ
ing official and non-official health agen
cies within your community and how to
effectively use them when needed.
Fifth, it is important to know how to
proceed whenever emergencies occur and
to adequately manage health problems
within your capabilities, especially those
of a minor nature.
Sixth, in order to aid in the develop
ment of an adequate healthful environ
ment and adequate medical resources in
your community, you will need to acquire
sufficient knowledge of community health
problems to wisely participate in com
munity action.
Seventh, it will be your responsibility
to keep yourself informed of the rapid
advancements made in personal and com
munity health and to effectively use
these advancements individually and in
groups to improve the health of the
community and to prevent accidents and
disease.

NO NEED TO ARGUE
Joe says a CML Ordinary Life
policy is the best protection a
vailable. Bill argues that an En
dowment program makes mora
sense.
But, there is no one "best"
life insurance program. It all
depends on your own individual
needs and situation. I will be
glad to discuss the "best" pol
icy for you, and present you with
a copy of CML's informative
booklet, "How Much and What
Kind?"
