Their purpose in conducting this cam paign is to provide seat belts for every University student at the lowest possible price. They are doing this because they realize that the, price of belts and the installation charges are a bit steep for most University students. THEY ALSO feel that the seat belts possibly could gave many lives. There- Who Says So? The "Now is the time for all good Independents to come to the aid of their radicals." Or, so should go the slogan of the Pro gressive Party for Gross Prostitution of Purpose. A f e w people would have the whole mess cleared up by just abol ishing the Student Coun cil in the first place. Oth ers would abolish the IPC. Still othen would abolish the Independents. It is too bad that a few "Well Meaning" Indepen dents feel it io necessary to attack the IFC slate in such a manner as they are this year. While they Claim their Party to be non-independent and joint ly active, they stack their Elatform with antagon ims. It is also too bad that more of these do-gooders don't think first of their University the way that Council is supposed to do and has been set up, rep resentation wise and put their petty, personal jealousy aside. Oh, well, rah, rah, for the rah, rah boys. The latest word is that gome hick is trying to get elected at some type of get-together this weekend. HU name is FIORELLO! We happened to stroll by the pre-election gathering and heard a great deal .about the pre-pre-election blast and can vouch that if any of you don't go and cast your vote, you need ytur heads examined. The show is beyond a doubt one of the greatest to hit DEAR ELDRIDGE FOS TER: ' As your letter to the Daily Nebraskan so clear ly pointed out, you are one of the many persons who do not understand the basis of the constitutional guarantees of which Mr. Winkle, a law student, claims he was deprived by the Lincoln Po lice Force. Why then do you feel justified to submit nine to tally irrelevant questions, the last three of which were merely slurs upon In the Daily Nebras kan's Campus Forum, there appeared recently (March 25) a letter to the editor concerning racial discrimination practiced by the student body. Mr. Jones, the author of this "tear jerker" says in his last sentence: "Think about it." Well, that is precisely what I have done since reading his letter, and all I can reply to Mr. Jones is: "Cry on somebody else's shoulder." The five questions of Mr. Jones merely scratch the surface and I think a full discussion is needed here. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Jones a few questions. I ask you: Are we ac cepted with no grudges by your race?

It seems strange that many Univer sity students see little value in the Inno cents' project. It is hard to believe that some students do not think that seat belts should be standard equipment in every automobile. AND, IT will be a shame if every Uni versity student does not take advantage of the Innocents' offer. Once again, they have undertaken a project which is of great benefit to all University students. Boogie Men the Nebraska campus. And, if Kosmet Klub has ever been deserving of a compliment, it de serves it now. Hope they . take a few good hints from Coed Follies and make their Fall Review worth something now. We understand that H.R.P. feels that RAM Council should have done more investigating before asking Prout to appear on the University campus. Now really, who in Ne braska is "big" enough to expose a farcical organi zation don't we always take in what our "super iors" to the East and to the West feel to be true. Or, do we really have some big time investiga tors on the University campus? Just think of the news we could make . . . "Claude Nebraska Exposes National Organi zation." Suppose someone on campus could begin publishing a new maga zine for expose purposes? Say . . . uh . . . err . . . To Tell the Truth, Nebraska-Style. Just a thought for coed sun-b a t h e r s who have been plagued by the pres ense of workmen at the Twin Towers if you don't flirt with them and react to their every whis tle, they won't pay any attention to you. Half of their fun comes from watching Sparsely Clad Claudia run for the corner when they yell to her that her tummy is showing. Why worry? Isn't this the year that the bikini craze Answer to Foster the character of an inter ested student, and the quality of a fine Law School? A court of law will de termine whether or not Mr. Winkle will win on his claims. Whether or not he wins, however, there can be no doubt that he at least has some legal and moral grounds for making a complaint. There are certain legal requirements any police officer' must meet before he detains an individual. 1 1 &wsM1SJ(!x Questions on Discrimination pected by this organiza tion. If the table was turned around, how would things then size up? I have a few scars to testi fy to that, and I also had a friend who could have told you a different story. Yon see, he "accepted" your people. I am from Chicago's South Side, and have had only a railroad viaduct separating the Negroes from our white neighbor hood. Answer me, Mr. Jones. Why is the highest rate of crime in Chicago trom the Negro districts? Or why did the Illinois leg islature pass a law per mitting the ADC (Aid for Dependent Children) Bu reau to distribute to the mothers of these children literature on birth con trol? Because these same mothers, predominantly Negro, came back year after year with illegiti mate children. Some of Thursday, March 28, 1963! s That's WhoI will finally find its way to Nebraska? & Safety Belts, anyone? This is another good deal. In fact, this is the season of good deals. If you don't get them, you are passing up one of the best oppor- tunities you could have. Think for a second isn't it worth it to spend 5-10 bucks for a good form of life insurance? s Congratulations, Inno- cents, your efforts this year are showing that I there is an active place 1 for honorary organi- zations. 1 It was a long, cold win- ter, or so it seemed to I members of the dark i depths of the Union. Working diligently were I a group of involved activ- g ity jocks. Their project a book. Not an ordinary book, but a yearbook. The 1 CORNHUSKER. I Sweat. Gad. It may not f get out. But, then the sky cleared, the sun came out and the presses start to 1 roll. Contrary to popular belief the yearbook will be out. And reports from i some corners indicate a that it is probably the f greatest in years. (So's the contemporary gallery of pictures hang- ing in the main office. You might call yourself f elite if you made the gallery.) ; g. We'll see you in the Pink One . . . Remem- 1 ber, our friends call us the Boogie Men. In fact, even our enemies do. I t.b.m. 1 Mr. Winkle and a sub stantial number of other law students feel there is serious doubt that these requirements were met in his case. It seems more than slightly presumptious for someone with no formal training in law to ques tion the quality of the University Law School and to assume that some one is a "joking" merely because he took action to ascertain and preserve his legal rights. A LAW STUDENT these women when ques- 1 tioned who the father was did not even know. Also Mr. Jones, why I have insurance companies I in the Chicago area dis- continued financing hous- ing developments? These 1 companies refuse to finance the construction of these slum developments because the condition of I the apartments a f t e r a few years are absolutely unbelievable. From cock- 1 roaches to the extent to g of these people tearing out I the wood slats in the plas- I ter to start a fire in the house for warmth. These 1 people were Negroes. 1 Answer me, Mr. Jones, 1 about the conditions I wit- 1 nessed while delivering f mall over Christmas va- 1 cations. What about three I and four families living in the same apartment? Or why did the value of our i property depreciate five I times that of the property 1 owned by friends who live I on the other side of Chi- I cago? Or why lg our auto I insurance so high for the area we live in? " s Well, Mr. Jones, I have 1 posed a few questions for i you to answer. NOW, YOU ABOUT IT. THINK I GEORGE M. PADAGA g gimble Now that the Ides of and the 21st have safely passed, the campus is turning to the woods be cause spring is here. The first hint that the glorious season of beer and skittles has arrived is the fact that all the pseud o-football jocks break out the old pigskin and rush onto the house lawn and try to impress' the whole campus with their cool play, and it is really cool when they play in the middle of the street. The score for last night's game was 3 dent ed Buicks, 4 smashed convertible tops and 2 broken street lights. This is only the begin ning. In a few scant days the entire campus will look like a lobster new burg special. All those cute little dollies run up on the roof to sit in the sun and then they go over to Student Health to get some salve for those first degree burns that they thought were going to be tans. Ah; so . . . and also comes the glorious days of open convertibles and cinders in your eyes and being square as a dizzy from riding around the I campus for 10 hours im pressing everyone with how cool that you really are. But the crowning glory is the b e r m u d a clan. Those cute knobby knees, usually hidden by full length trousers, are sud denly there for the whole world to see. It is so cute the way they strut up and down the sidewalk without trying to seem self-conscious that they are some sort of a bur lesque show for the entire populace. W i t h the a d v e n t of spring also comes the de sire to be grubby at all times, that "back-to-t h e-wood-a n d-isn't-it-c o o 1-to-be-casual" feeling that makes the whole campus look like it has just crawled out from under a rock, which is not hard to imagine with some of these parties . . . The whole problem boils down to the spring syn drome. It keeps the cam pus running in circles. It is compounded by a vari ety of psychological man ifestations of delusions of no classes, and the Mono maniac desire to do noth ing but nothing all day long. The student feels like the ragged end of a misspent life, looks like death eating pate-de-foi-gras and feels like the aftermath of a scandal. From one kanillic ex perience to another these fiends, possessed by the bullie w u 1 1 i e s and the highspeed velour, topple and crumble. Well, what can you do about gallop ing chiggers when your phrenology indicates that you are the strong advocate of SINA qua non? Life is one day of purification after the oth er, one hour of unadulter ated upchuck followed by the same until the student is ready for the jolly ranch, and that has noth to do with a job in Estes for the summer. All of a sudden the world is one big bucket of chlorophyl and all the trees get leaves, and all the students leave for the trees and classes are the straw that breaks the ant eaters back. What a cri sis! How to combat the whole gosh-awful mess? You can't. Nobody can beat the biggest logopocic cluster since the Bacchan grapes and it is not for us to question why, it Is for us to go out on after noons and have a heck of a good time, and curse the faculty, and scream because they won't turn on the air conditioning early, and plan magnifi cant plans to celebrate the occurrence of has-been-Itis while looking for a Job for after graduation, and just plain lolling around like an allegory on the banks of the Nile. There are only 7 weeks of school left, plus two of finals, plus eight weeks of summer school if you don't graduate. What's the matter with the syn drome anyway , . . we can all get sanforized and go ovor to student coun seling and drive the head s h r i n k e r s to the bug hatch. Hot cha!

Today I got a letter from him which I will reprint here because I know Mandolin's problems are so much like your own. Mandolin writes: i Dear Mandolin (he thinks my name is Mandolin too), I see by the college paper that you are writing a column for Marlboro Cigarettes. I think Marlboros are jim-landy cig arettes with real nice tobacco and a ginger-peachy filter, and 1 want to tell you why I don't smoke them. It all started the very first day I arrived at college. I was walking across the campus, swinging my paper valise and sing ing traditional airs like Blue Tail Fly and Death and Tram figuration, when all of a sudden I ran into this here collegiate looking fellow with a monogram on his breast pocket. He asked me was I a freshman. I said yes. He asked me did I want to be a BMOC and the envy of all the in crowd. I said yes. He said the only way to make these keen things happen was to join a fraternity. Fortunately he happened to have a pledge card with him, so he pricked my thumb and I signed. He didn't tell me the name of the fraternity or where it is located, but I sup pose I'll find out when I go active. II BMBka. Meanwhile this fellow comes around every week to collect the dues, which are $100, plus a $10 fine for missing the weekly meeting, plus a $5 assessment to buy a headstone for Spot, the late, beloved beagle who was the fraternity mascot. I have never regretted joining the fraternity, because it is my dearest wish to lie a UM()C and the envy of all the in crowd, but you can see that it is not cheap. It wouldn't be no bad if I slept at the frat house, but you must agree that I can't sleep at the house if I don't know where the house is. I have rented a room which is not ofily grotesquely expen sive, but it is not at all the kind of room I was looking for. I wanted someplace reasonably priced, clean, comfortable, and within easy walking distance of classes, the shopping district, and San Francisco and New York. What I found was a bedroom in the home of a local costermonger which is dingy, expensive, and uneomfortable-and I don't even get to use the bed till 7 a.m. when my landlord goes out to mong his costers. Well anyhow, I got settled and the next thing I did, naturally, was to look for a girl. And I found her. Harriet, her name is, a beautiful creature standing just under seven feet high and weigh ing 385 pounds. I first spied her leaning against the statue of the Founder, dosing lightly. I talked to her for several hours without effect. Only when I mentioned dinner did she stir. Hei milky little eyes ojwned, she raised a brawny arm, seited me niipc, mid rrnrkd me to a chic, French rettaurant called Lt f'lilijoint where she consumed, according to my calculations, her own weight in Chateaubriand. After dinner she lapsed into a torpor from which I could not rouse her, no matter how I tried. I banged my glass with a fork, I pinched her great pendulous jowls, I rubbed the legs of rny corduroy panto together. But nothing worked, and finally I slang her over my shoulder and carried her to the girls dorm, slipping several discs in the process. Fortunately, medical care for studento is provided free at the college infirmary. All 1 had to pay for were a few extras, like X-ravs, anaesthesia, forceps, hemostats, scalpels, catgut, linen, towels, amortization, and nurses. They Vould not, however, let me keep the nurses. So, dear cousin, it is lack of funds, not lack of enthusiasm, that is keeping me from Marllwro Cigarettes-dear, good Marlboros with their fine blend of choice tobaccos and their pure white Scloctrate filter and their soft pack and their flip top box. Well, I must close now. My pencil is wore out and I can't afford another. Keep 'em flying.
