is fiere smoke?
Hats off to the Huskers, Bob De
vaney and staff for their three fine vic
tories. Now that Nebraska has played three
games and tlw rest of the teams of the
Big Eight have all played at least two,
some interesting observations can be ven
tured. First of all, I would like to clarify
that I am no stranger to the "heil De
vaney Huskers" club. After watching De
vaney, h i s staff and methods during
spring practice last year, yours truly
predicted, in printing, great things to
come.
To offer a short re
capitulation of my pre
viously printed views of
Rapid Robert and crew,
I think that Devaney is
well equipped both per
sonality and ability wise
to be a head coach.
One group of men
that isn't getting their
fair share of the credit
is his staff, they comple
ment Devaney well and are a valuable
asset to him. Put them all together and
you have a group of men that have a
history, of winning, which can be infec
tious in a team.
As a result, the players, who have
always been adequate, are really en
joying the game (winning) and are really
hustling and "putting out".
As far as this season is concerned,
Nebraska has continued to make great
progress every week. The Husker block
ing in the South Dakota game was pow
erful but not particularly efficient.
Against Michigan, I think that Ne
braska's determined blocking helped spell
the difference between the two teams.
.The timing of the backs has improved
every week, as has the coordination be
tween passer and receiver. Against Iowa
State the backs seemed so confident in
their timing that they were concentrating,
instead, on really running hard, which
paid off in extra yards gained.
One area in which improvement has
been lacking is in pass defense. Michi
gan passed with relative ease against the
Husker secondary and so did Iowa State.
The Cyclones completed too many passes
by mike maclean
to derive much peace of mind from
Brown's and Toogood's interceptions.
The factor that may be forboding ill
omens for the future is that Nebraska
couldn't stop the passes late in the game,
WHEN THEY KNEW THAT THE CY
CLONES HAD TO PASS! Don't think for
a minute that the North Carolina State
scouts didn't notice that. The entire de
fensive picture must improve if more
Big Eight victories are to come. (Remem
ber when all we had was a defense?)
Nebraska is indeed fortunate in hav
ing two lines that are equal or close to
it. They are big and have been quite ag
gressive, but their desire far outshines
their over-all speed. This may or may not
catch up with them.
I really doubt if Nebraska will meet
a team that will have a better collection
of backs. The versatility, including dev
astating power up the middle, dangerous
speed to the outside, increasingly accur
ate passing all combine to guarantee an
honest defense, another stranger to Husk
er fans.
If and when Nebraska meets a line
just as determined but better equipped
in the speed department, Devaney will
need the services of a healthy Thunder,
Stuewe and Theisen. The-health aspect in
the backfield will take on increasing im
portance as the adversaries grow strong
er. One thing is for sure, Nebraska will
make a more than respectable showing
this year. But bear in mind that this is
Devaney's first year with a group of new
boys who are using a new offense. The
road to the Orange Bowl is long and steep. .
A once-tied, defensive minded Mis
souri, a potent Kansas and an ever dan
gerous Oklahoma are going to have to be
reckoned with, if the Huskers make it
that far in the race undefeated.
Nebraska can do it, but many chips
must fall exactly into place. The weekly
improvement must continue, the Husker's
spirit and determination must take over
and be able to do the job where their
ability leaves off and the loss of key per
sonnel due to injuries must cease. .
Here's my wish that Lady Luck (with
an Orange, Blossom in her hair) will smile
on the determined Huskers who are so
rapidly earning the support of their fans
and the respect of their contemporaries.
ROTC knows how to go
about correcting things
like the problem that
faces us, now.
Was it only last year
that the Daily Nebraskan
shed tears over the fact
that there was to be a
mass youth exodus from
the state? Ah, hal Some
where along the line, they
must have made either an
illegal U turn on the in
terstate or we are getting
the products ofxa mass
exodus from Indigestion,
Arizona ... at any rate
we've got this whole mass
of people gumming up the
arterial sidewalks of the
University and something
should be done.
Consequently, herewith
follows an "Estimate of
the Situation."
(1) MISSION. In this
case, it would seem to be
finding some way to get
these moronic little bean
ie wearers out of the best
booths in the crib, off the
sidewalks into Burnett
and Soc and back where
they belong.
(2) SITUATION AND
COURSES OF ACTION
The situation is that we
have all these optimistic
little beasts overtaking
the pessimistic watering
holes of the upperclass
men. In order to rout this
high school crusade we
will take the word COCOA
to work the magic of Nest
les Instant: Cover, Obsta
cles, Critical Terrain, Ob
servation and fields of fire
and Avenue of approach.
Having blithely estimat
ed the situation, the one
factor that would appear
to be on the side of the
suffering upperclassman
is the weather. Due to a
survey taken last week it
appears that the only way
to keep the hordes away
from classes is to have
it rain; ergo, we must
find out if the local rain
maker is a freshman.
If it rains, we can re
assert ourselves. Rain
brings mud, mud brings
the still babyish freshman
still making mud pies,
and that brings us back
to the haven of professo
rial guidance for another
year.
However, if force need
be used, there is another
alternative germ war
fare. Why doesn't soneone
cause a mass infection of
mono in the INFANTry.
The only other course
of action is to teach them
how to cut classes, which
is the most entertaining
and involved. Certainly
administration would
agree that all students
A-ACK could skip nine
o'clocks on MWF, and
ACK-ALR could skip ten
o'clocks, and so on.
Please realize, this is
not in jest. In these times
when columnists keep
aiming slings and arrows
of misfortune, it is time
that a few positive sug
gestions be made. The
preceding is a quote from
the new "Beneath the
Dignity" award being of
fered on this campus.
-M.S.
Question of Rights
Verses Privileges
To the Editor:
After reading Moore's
letter (Oct. 11), "NU Dis
crimination: Is It Not
Serious?", and the "Edi
tor's Note" immediately
following it, I feel that it
is about time that Moore '
had a long talk with his
advisor before he be
comes known as the "cry
baby of the campus."
Someone has asked
Moore whether he tans
and this to Moore is sign
of prejudice. This only
demonstrates to me that
Moore was more consci
ences of his skin color
than his questioner.
What if the question
had nothing to do with
color? "Do you ever bite
your tongue when you
crack nuts with your
teeth?" Would this have
upset Moore? I've heard
it said, many times, that
greater mutual under
standing will help to
bridge the gap between
the races. Logic tells me
that it would depend upon
how dark he is, but in
all honesty I must admit
1 1 WJtmP4J
that I couldn't have an
swered the question o f
whether a Negro's skin
is darkened by exposure
to the sun.
Every person on this
campus both has personal
prejudices and, at the
same time, is discrimin
ated against. Discrimina
tion is basically freedom
of choice, and is our one
of our most fundamental
freedoms.
Moore indicates that his
social life is limited, but
he does not say specifi
cally why. He insinuates
that it is only because of
his color. Possibly it is.
He has not stated what
social activities have been
barred to him. Perhaps
he means social fraterni
ties. I am not a fraternity
member; however, I feel
that a fraternity or any
other social organization
has the right to deter
mine the composition of
its own membership. I do
not approve of any organ
ization that excludes per
sons because of the color
of their skin, but I would
fight for their right to do
so, just as I would fight
I,- fowpsr
for a Negro to attend this
University.
Has Mooore attempted
to join one of the honor
ary fraternities on cam
pus? He could find stim
ulating social contact
there. But let me warn
him that he will find dis
crimination there also
they insist on certain
minimum scholastic
achievements!
Has Moore felt socially
excluded because he has
trouble finding dates on
campus? Suppose a Cath
olic girl refuses to date
a Protestant boy. So
what! She is free to do
so. And if she is looking
for a mate, then she has
demonstrated intelligent
concern for her future
happiness.
Let us establish in the
minds of the students on
this campus that there is
a difference between a
"right" and a "privilege."
"Rights" can be demand
ed, as in the case of Mere
d i t h , but "privileges"
must be earned. Friend
ship and fellowship fall in
in the latter catagory.
Sincerely,
Floyd W. Else, Jr.
