Wait and See . . . and
again the United States
Public Health Service
handled a very delicate
and critical situation in
such a highly professional
manner that it gives us
great confidence in this
one governmental agen
cy. When Canada cancelled
ont on the use of the new
Sabin Oral polio vaccine
because of reported cases
of polio, which that na
tion's health officials at
tributed directly to the
vaccine, it gave many
Americans .that same
feeling a small child gets
after taking a big bite
out of a red apple and
seeing half a worm on
the freshly bitten surface.
It makes him want to
throw the rest of the apple
away and spit out the
bite he has in his mouth.
Maybe someday this boy
will get up enough cour
age to bite into another
apple, but it will take a
long time and someone
proving that every apple
does not have a worm.
This is the same situa
tion that could have de
veloped in towns and cit
ies across this country
and could haw meant
the failure of the Sabin
Oral polio vaccine pro
gram. Two cases are present
AJDERKHN YOUTH
Idealism Is Increasing
At a time when youth
crime is on the increase,
it is easy to fall into the
fallacy of believing that
decadence has set in.
Thus, it is refreshing to
hear from ore, whose life
is devoted to teaching
American youth, say
"Idealism of American
youth in 1962 is higher
than it ever was before."
These were the words
of Dr. Robert Koehl. pro
fessor of history at the
University of Nebraska.
Without the idealism of
youth, the world would be
bankrupt. It has always
been so. Youth unhesitat
ingly risks life itself for
its ideals.
Adults become par
simonious with life and,
in protecting it often lose
the meaning of life. This

brings it home and came
just a week before Oma
ha held their final Sabin
Oral Sunday drive. Fear
from doubt could have
easily destroyed the last
drive. (In the previous
two Omaha had been cit
ed nationally for the suc
cess of the drives 81 4
per cent of the cities pop
ulation swallowed the
Type I and III vaccines.)
Public Health officials
in Omaha went before the
people on radio, television
and in the press to re
assure Omahans that
there was no doubt as to
the reliability of the Type
II vaccine, which was
scheduled to be given
during Sundav. Then on
Saturday the U.S. Health
Service halted the dis
pensing of Type III until
further investigations on
the vaccine could be
made. And there was that
old half eaten worm star
ing the people of Omaha
and other cities right in
the face. Fear and doubt
probably told them that
they had all ready eaten
half the worm and might
get sick so let's not take
is the reason that the
poverty and problems of
the world to an adult
seem almost too over
whelming to attack. Many
think the only possible
course is to hide their
heads in the sand like an
ostrich and attempt to
protect their own status
in life.
To youth these problems
are a challenge. This is
the reason that the Peace
Corps is meeting with
success and American
young people are willing
to forsake a life of com
parative ease to give of
themselves under hard
ship conditions which
would be intolerable in
the United States.
It is important that

Yet we wonder whether
there will be something
new or just more of
the same. Cynically
enough we can hardly ex
pect that this year will
bring anything particular
ly valuable, significant or
responsible. Yet we still
nurture a certain amount
of hope.
There are a number of
things we could look for
a conscientious Greek
system, a more pervasive
idealistic and practical
outlook, as well as a more
liberal trend in Nebraska
politics. Bnt even these
seem foolish fantasies.
The Greeks are already
doing an especially fine
Job of ushering their
pledges into the status
quo. The typically hedon
istic attitudes and ideals
long cherished by the
Greeks are already show
ing up in this year's crop
of pledges. In fact some
novices are already be
wildered in discovering
me active fraternity
members who are mildly
disenchanted with t h e
the whole thing ("what's
wrong with him, isn't he
gong-bo?").
Of course the particu
larly perverted attitudes
of the Greek system ex
ude into the many pores
of the (pardon the expres
sion) "campus activities."
The arrogance and dog
ged determnation of IFC
and the professional prud
ity (they claim to main
tain standards) of Panhell
both reflect this trend.
Few people are tied up
in activites just for the

American Youth
Bv Twisting
Keep Fit
Since the 1960 Olympics
many prominent Ameri
cans have thrown verbal
brickbats at the youth of
America. It has been said
that Americans are soft
and are not physically fit.
However, this charge can
no longer be made with
impunity. American youth
has answered the charges
with actions which are
far more convincing than
mere words. Who dares
charge a man or woman
with physical ineptitude
w hile that same person is
"doing fee TWIST?"

IFC
and Panhell are, however,
indicative of the moral fi
ber of the entire United
States. In a nation ob
sessed with material ac
complishment, directed to
ward the common, com
mitted to the status qno.
it is hard to expect more
of college young people
who even with occas
ional outbursts of indepen
dence are generally
satisfied with the medio
cre. Even our so-called
altruistic projects are
aimed at perpetuating the
prosaic and perfunctory
qualities. NHRRF, for
example, remains to work
with and for the best.
And for some it serves as
an outstanding status
symbol and tax deduction.
Nebraska, a state with
wide prairies and narrow
minds, is also a rather
perfect example of t h e
serious effort being made
to encourage people to
conform to some especial
ly insipid standard. The
state's political situation
is hardly more than a
contest of deciding upon
the lesser of two evils.
There has been a lack of
dynamic leadership par
ticularly because Nebras
kans don't want dynamic
leadership. The status quo
is too comfortable.
For us there is little
challenge. Within the Uni
versity community we ar
still hampered with our
lingering immaturity. AH
of us, like the Greeks,
tend toward the picayune
But after all, this is just
a part of the perversion
of mankind.
