JSCHOOL
Top In The Nation
Journalism School has brought a new
honor upon itself and the University. Be
ing named first place in the Hearst Com
petition is definitely a measure of the
quality of the school and more defin
itely, a measure of a new program with
in fee school Depth Reporting.
The articles that were submitted, with
a couple of exceptions, came from the
depth course taught by Neale Copple.
The course has been primarily "his
baby" and he has written his own text
for the course, to be released later this
The articles written by Nebraska's stu
dents were printed in major newspapers
across the United States. Hal Brown's
story on Scholarships in the Big 8 was
featured in the Denver Post, the Des
Moines Register and several others.
The Daily Nebraskan is very pleased
to have presented all of the winning ar
ticles to its readers upon their release.
Special recognition should go to Hal
Brown, former Nebraskan Sports Editor,
who placed second in the nation. We are
also pleased to have Wendy Rogers, our
own staff writer, among the winners.
Journalism School at Nebraska has def
intely taken on all of the aspects of be
ing "top" in the Nation. Under Dr. Wil
liam E. Hall's direction, and with the out
standing faculty with which he works, it
is evident that the program offered at Ne
braska has produced some outstanding
writers and has now gained national
prominence.

Dear Editor:
The surviving veterans
of the Spanish-American
War met in their 55th An
nual Encampment, May
6th and 7th at the Soldiers
and Sailors Home, Grand
Island, Nebraska.
At the meeting of the
Council of Administra
tion, which included all
the past Department Com
manders of the organiza
tion, world affairs were
discussed as they applied
to the State of the Union,
and condition affecting
our peace and prosperity.
It was the opinion of the
group that we as the old
est patriotic organization
should take a stand and
express our opinions as
to what should be done to
combat the insidious ene
mies within out own citi
zenship. We veterans agreed that
it was fitting and proper
for us to express our
views on conditions which
threaten our unity and
status as a nation to the
youths attending the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
Therefore, as Depart
ment Adjutant of the Unit
ed Spanish War Veterans,
Department of Nebraska,
I submit to you for pub
lication two resolutions
which were unanimously
adapted.
I was also instructed if
the Editor of the Daily
Nebraskan refused to pub
lish these resolutions as
news, that I as Adjutant
be authorized to buy
space in your next edition
for the publishing of these
submitted resolutions to
be printed in 8 pt. type
and boxed label, paid for
by the United Spanish
War Veterans. This of
fice will pay for this pub-
About Nebraska Again
The primary elections in Nebraska are
over. As we go to press, we have n
indication as to the victors.. But we are
publishing, today, an exclusive interview
with both Governor Frank Morrison and
candidate Fred Seaton. We have attempt
ed to get their views on Mr. Roger Dicke
son's story on Nebraska, and to see if
there was a slim chance of there being
an election on issues and not who
coerced who and personalities.
We also are presenting another in our
series of "depth" reports on Nebraska
and its people. It is a view of one of the
University professors, and as he remind
ed us, it is not to be taken as fact, but
it is probably the best opinion on the
state that we have seen in a long time.
We also noted yesterday that Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, Mrs. Ralph
Brooks, who actually has been the only
candidate that really promoted any issues
in the primary, spoke out endorsing Dick
eson's article.
Mrs. Brooks reassured Senator Richard
Marvel and Governor Morrison in the ar
ticle that "jumping up and down in stud
ied, indication will not cause the prob
lems of education, labor legislation, tax
reform and government reoganization to
disappear."
Probably the best thing that she said is
that we must first recognize our faults
and problems before we can solve them.
We are all critical of our state, but we
also fail to promote constructive pro
grams to combat these deficiencies.
But now the race for governor is nar
rowed down. We now know who the candi
dates will be. If we really want a state
that is not "too timid to live" or so con
servative or unrealistic that we walk
backward into the future, we must ana
lyze and force these candidates to ex
press concrete ideas for the state's future.
We must also force these candidates to
stop skirting the issues as they have, to
stop the cute and actually sickening
game of the politician by making the
election one of personalities.
We also, would like to urge you, the
student, to hear Roger Dickeson this
Thursday, 7 p.m., in the Pan American
Room of the Student Union. He will dis
cuss a vital question the partisan legislature.

Dear Sir:
Who can but agree with the outlook of
Nebraska's life given by Mr. Dickeson
when the documented facts are present
ed? What can the Republican leaders
who so vehemently denounced Ted Soren
son's statements as untrue say when the
truth is now so evident?
I must agree wholeheartedly with Mr.
Dickeson when he says that the greatest
dangers of our state's future arise from
Nebraska's own right than from the lefist
Ideas of foreign countries. When natives
of this state come to a full realization
of this peril and attack It as religiously
Hong Kong
Editor,
Recently, we have been reading news
from Hong Kong about how refugees are
being deported back to the communist
Chinese Mainland. To facilitate your gain
ing a fuller understanding of the situa
tion, I will say something about this.
Before the communist took over the
Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong depended
entirely on trade with the rest of China.
After 1949, such trade was practically
closed. At the same time, refugees from
all over China poured in. To feed the in
creased population, Hong Kong began to
develop light industries mainly textile,
It was very successful and the living
standard improved greatly. For those
who have been to Hong Kong before,
they will certainly agree that it is a, if
not the most, beautiful, modernistic and
extremely fascinating city. Since it is a
free port, one can get anything luxuri
ous or common, from the East or from
the West from this less than 400 sq.
mile area. Therefore, poeple there began
to exclaim emotionally:
"Hong Kong, The Fragrant Harbour,
Is indeed the Pearl of the Orient". So far
so good.
The main markets for Hong Kong light
industrial products were England and the
United States of America. But their prod
ucts competed with that of the U.S. and
England. Therefore, England acted first
and set limit for importation of Hong
Kong products. The United States fol
lowed such a policy just about two
months ago. With revenues for the peo
ple's income narrowing from all sides,
with no help from any country in this
planet, with refugees still pouring in at
a rate of about 130,000 per year, with
the natural population growth of the three
million people already there, what can
as they do communism, Nebraska will
begin to make progress.
I hasten to state that we must always
continue our fight against communism so
long as it exists on this earth, but we
must also be aware of and wage war
fare against the anti-progressive attitude
which is so dominant in Nebraska.
The Daily Nebraskan is to be highly
commended for devoting so much space to
this issue which is of such vital concern
to the young Nebraskans here at the Uni
versity. Sincerely
Gary Thompson
University Young Democrats
people in Hong Kong do?
Indeed, turning back the refugees is an
utmost inhumane act. Many a refugee
fainted at the border and had to be
carried back like a dead man per
haps the real departure from this cold
world for him was not too far away
anyway. Nobody would want him, no
body would care for him, and so, back
he went. (The U.S. admits 150 refugees
from both Taiwan (Formosa) and Hong
Kong per year. 150 from 130,000).
It is not possible to go into detail
here, but I hope that this may help our
fellow students here to have a more ac
curate interpretation of the world news
today. And, should it be possible, let
more people besides the students here
know some solid facts.

Just One Value
Dear Editor:
Since the elections of members of Stu
dent Council are over, I wish to ask just
one question: What good and what value
is Student Council?
In the short time I've been here, it
seems all the Student Council does is
give the Daily Nebraskan a little writing
space. They really decide little and make
few decisions of vast importance. It is
my belief that the University could run
much the same as it has in the past
without a Student Council and all this
hub bub of having to vote to save the
integrity of a dead organization is a
bunch of hoey.
Please, just give me one value of Stu
dent Council.
Sincerely yours,
Bill Borne
P.S. I read your yellow sheet-special
Election Edition, it still doesn't answer
the main question.

CRAM COURSE NO. 5: SHAKESPEARE
Continuing our series of pre-final exam cram courses, today we
take up the works of William Shakespeare (or "The Bard of
Avon" as he is jocularly called).
First let us examine the persistent theory that Shakespeare
(or "The Pearl of the Antilles" as he is affectionately referred
to) is not the real author of his plays. Advocates of this theory
insist that the plays are so full of classical allusions and learned
references that they couldn't possibly have been written by
the son of an illiterate country butcher.
To which I reply, "Faugh!" Was not the great Spinoza's
father a humble woodcutter? Was not the immortal Isaac
Newton's father a simple second baseman? (The elder Newton,
incidentally, is one of history's truly pathetic figures. He was,
by all accounts, th: greatest second baseman of his time, but
baseball, alas, had not yet been invented.) It used to break
young Isaac's heart to see his father get up every morning, put
on uniform, spikes, glove, and cap, and stand alertly behind
second base, bent forward, eyes narrowed, waiting, waiting,
waiting. That's all waiting. Isaac loyally sat in the bleachers
and yelled, "Good show, Dad!" and stuff like that, but every
one else in town used to snigger and pelt the Newtons with
overripe fruit figs for the elder Newton, apples for the younger.
Thus, as we all know, the famous occasion came about when
Isaac Newton, struck in the head with an apple, leapt to his
feet, shouted, "Europa!" and announced the third law of
motion: "For every action there is an opposite and equal
reaction I"
(How profoundly true these simple words are I Take, for
example, Marlboro Cigarettes. Light one. That's the action.
Now what is the reaction? Pleasure, delight, contentment, cheer,
and comfort I And why such a happy reaction? Because you have
X

started with a happy cigarette a felicitous blend of Jolly to
baccos, a good-natured filter, a rollicking flip-top box, a merry
soft pack. As Newton often said, "You begin with better
makin's, you end with better smokin's." Small wonder they
called him "The Swedish Nightingale!").
But I digress. Back to Shakespeare (or "The Gem of the
Ocean" as he was ribaldly appelated).
Shakespeare's most important play is, of course, Hamlet (or
Macbeth, as it is sometimes called). This play tells in living
color the story of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, who one night
sees a ghost upon the battlements. (Possibly it is a gM he
sees: I have a first folio edition that is frankly not too legible.)
Anyhow, Hamlet is so upset by seeing the ghost (or goat) that
he stabs Polonius and Bare Bodkin. He is thereupon banished
to a leather factory by the King, who cries, "Get thee to a
tannery!" Thereupon Ophelia refuses her food until Laertes
shouts, "Get thee to a beanery!" Ophelia is so miffed that she
chases her little dog out of the room, crying, "Out, out damned
Spot!" She is fined fifty shillings for swearing, but Portia, io
an eloquent plea, gets the sentence commuted to life imprison
ment Thereupon King Lear and Queen Mab proclaim a festival-complete
with amateur theatricals, kissing games, and a
pie-eating contest. Everyone has a perfectly splendid time till
Banquo's ghost (or goat) shows up. This so unhinges Richttrd
III that he drowns his cousin, Butt Malmsey. This leads to a
lively discussion during which everyone is killed. The little dog
Spot returns to utter the immortal curtain lines:
Alack, the play fmoolh was sad and sobby,
But bt of cheer there's Marlbaros in the lobby!
IMZMsiSaulma
As the slings and arrows of outrageous finals loom closer,
perchance the makers or Marlboro are not untoward to offer
this friendly suggestion: Get thee to a library I
