TO THE EDITOR:
In regard to Mr. Pad
aga's letter concerning the
problems that Negroes are
creatingin Chicago, I
would like to take this op
portunity to agree with
him whole-heartedly.
I could find basically
only one fault in Mr. Pad
aga's letter and that be
ing the fact that he did
not elaborate on some of
the very fine points which
he obviously had.
I too, like you, don't be
lieve that Whites are ac
cepted by Negroes with
no grudges; and this we
both know is ingratitude.
I firmly believe that to
have contempt or hate for
a group of people (Whites)
there must be a basis for
it, and in the case of the
Negroes, they have abso
lutely no basis for their
feelings toward the
Whites.
I sincerely would like to
know just what they do
expect of the White race?
Aren't they given every
opportunity to receive a
formal education in any
e allege or university
throughout the country?
Aren't they given the op

DEAR R. S-:
I was informed of my
mistake concerning the
Dennis Winkle lawsuit the
day my letter appeared in
the Daily N e b r a s k a n.
When several days later a
law student wrote a letter
objecting to my irrelevant
questions, I penned a re
ply; but for some reason
the letter was never print
ed. However, as long as
there are others who still
want to take issue, I am
writing another letter in
reply to both you and the
law student
First, the article on
Dennis Winkle is ambigu
ous. Other students I
spoke with also thought
that he was the driver of
the car. The article nei
ther mentions the driver
by name nor does it use
the word passenger. It
says that "Bruder would,
not make any statement
about the reason be (Win
kle) was being stopped,'
if Mr. Winkle was stopped
by the police while riding
around town in a car, then
as far as I'm concerned
be was the driver.
Furthermore, S.C., la
his column es the next
page states that driving
dewa the street at 3:09
A.M. should not constitute
eaase for arrest. If Mr.
Wlakle wasn't driving,
why did S.C. make tMs
statement?
I feel very badly about
making this mistake. I
feel this way because it
rrevented the tetter
wrote from doing what
it was supposed to do.
Tempted Independents
realized that the Inde
pendents would try to put
it out. By trying jto stop

continent truly desires to

that you can't do enough
for some people nowa
days). '
George, in regard to the
Black Muslims, I can on
ly say this: May God
watch over and protect
each and every one of the
fine White gentlemen who
are members of the Ku
Klux Klan, White Citi
zen's Councils and the
countless number of other
groups of this type sworn
to protect the purity of the
White race at all costs.
George, you surprised
me when you asked Mr.
Jones "Why is the highest
rate of crime in Chicago
from the Negro districts".
I'm sure that you and 1
both know that Negroes
and crime are synonym
ous. Let's just stop here a
minute and check some
facts. John Dillinger, Ba
by Face Nelson, Machine
Gun Kenny, Dutch Shultz
and of course Al Capone,
did more to benefit our
country than all the
George Washington Carv
ers and others of his like
put together.
Concerning the A.D.C.
which is undoubtedly a
fine organization, it really
is toe bad that it is coa-
Foster Asks Questions
My intention was to make
cutting remarks at S.C.
Since everyone missed the
point of my article I will
now spell out for you in
detail why I objected to
S.C.'s column.
First, S.C. said it is re
grettable that many per
sons do not understand
the basis of the constitu
tional guarantees of which
Winkle was deprived. He
states that one cannot be
arrested without probable
cause and without being
informed of the charges
and accusations against
him. The rest of his edi
torial consists of v a g u e
platitudes which leave all
students convinced that
Mr. Winkle is right, but
without knowing exactly
why.
I do not mind it whea
the school paper prints as
article about a lawsuit,
even when the article is
ambiguous. But I do mind
it when a column appears
which makes ao effort to
explain the issues of the
case, but does make an
effort to iet me know I
just don't understand the
basis of the constitutional
guarantees in question.
Since apparently S.C,
R.S., and "a law student"
do understand them, I
will now pose some "rele
vant" questions to the
case. Please get together
and submit your answers
to them so that I will
then underslar-d the basis
of the constitutional guar
antees of which Winkle
was deprived.
1. Is there such a thing
as an open charge, and if
so, why didn't it cover
Winkle?
2. Caa the police bold

fined to Chicago for I'm
sure that there are a con-
pie of White families in
the Tennessee hills, Ar-
kansas, Mississippi, Ken-
tucky, Alabama, Georgia
and a couple of other
states who not only could I
use literature on birth
control and sanitation bat
also on the delicate sub-
ject of incest. These peo-
pie are White. Hard to be-
lieve, isn't it.
George, I would like to
conclude this letter by
saying the only possible a
reason I can see for three
families living on one
apartment is maybe they 5
couldn't find housing. But I
on second thought, with
all the freedom of move-
ment allowed 'Ne g r o e s

3. If I refuse to identify
myself at a roadblock
while I'm riding as a pas
senger in a car, must I
be charged with a crime
before I'm hauled in?
4. If to inform me of
the reasons why I am be
ing asked to identify my
self may impede the like
lihood of the police being
successful, tniui Utey nev
ertheless do so?
5. Aren't our rights as
individuals weighed
against the necessary po
lice powers of the state?
6. Doesn't a writ of ha
beas corpus recognize the
right of police to hold peo
ple without cause, but
merely prevents excessive
use of this power?
7. If not, are you say
ing that police may no
longer pick up f o r m e r
convicts and suspicious
characters for questioning
without first charging
them with a crime?
8. If the polics can force
a man to shave his beard
or give his fingerprints in
order that be may be
identified, why does Mr.
Winkle consider identify
ing himself as elf-lncrtm-bullion?
9. Do you honestly think
the Supreme Court would
restrict the police power
of the states to such an
extent as this?
When a letter appears
with adequate answers to
the above questions, then
I will feel that justice has
been done to the school
paper's coverage of the
Winkle law case. If they
had appeared in the first
Elace, you would never
ave been bothered by ir
relevant questions from
an unintelligent student.

Did you ever-think how
frustrating it must be to
be a research scientist?
For instance, this uni
versity is noted through
out the scientific world for
heat transfer in metals
and artificial insemination
of mosquitoes.
The in e i u I work was
successful and won na
tional acclaim, a few
inches in the local col
umns, and a large enc."h
grant to continue the proj
ect. But the mosquito proj
ect, part of a scheme to.
decrease the mosquito
population by introducing
sterile males to the stag
nant ponds' where they
reproduce, was given up
when the 'skeets proved
uncooperative.
Mosquitoes just wouldn't
hold still for artificial in
semination, but cattle will
and Nebraska's dairy in
dustry upgrades produc
tivity each year partly
because the Univer
sity tests the daughters of
bulls used in the dairy
herd improvement p r o
gram. Rut frustrations come
even to successful animal
husbandry researchers.
For instance, think how
frustrating it must be to
need to know the amount
of fat in an animal but
not be able to kill it to
see how much there is.
If the animal is a steer
or a sheep you can use
an osceloscope. This ma
chine measures the dif
ference between sound
waves that rebound from
fat, muscle, and bone. But
what happens when the
thing falls off the pickup
on the way out to the pas
ture? Delicate machinery can
be very frustrating, but
people can be worse.
Suppose you're a sociol
ogist studying the effect
of tuba lessons on neigh
borhood relations and all
'your neighbors move
away what do you do,
mail questionnaires?
Sometimes success is
even more frustrating
than failure.
For instance, there are
two brilliant young grad
students in the Dental Col
lege who were recently
praised for work done
with cleft palates. Their
frustration Is where do we
go from here?
Like the mountain
climber who attains the
summit and then cries be
cause he sees so many
new peaks to conquer
these researchers have a
problem.
Wouldn't we all like to
be so frustrated?
Next time the Laughing
Jackass will discuss ei
ther the Rodeo Club's An
nual Stampede or the
State Legislature, depend
ing on which is haply re
ceptive to an interview.

The' University has a
new organization on cam
pus the University Par
ty for Progress. Many
feelings have been ex
passed about the UPP,
but one which stands out
as favorable is their sin
cerity in producing better
quality campus politics.
Student Council elections
usually bring to battle the
IFC slate and the inde
pendent candidates. How
ever, the UPP has organ
ized e slate of Council
candidates to represent
the colleges and oppose
the IFC slate in an order
ly, democratic battle
which will, at least I hope,
give better representation
to students.
The UPP recognizes
that the Student Council
representation system is
awkward and inadequate,
and another bright spot in
their list to improve in
this area was presented at
their convention to change
the college system to a
system which would rep
resent all people through
a n m b e r of constituents
would be 'represented in
proportion to those in oth
er districts.
Southern colleges and
universities are still
plagued by discriminatory
mores, but the northern
Universities have their
share of unfair practices
too. A resolution to inves
tigate discrimination on
the campus and in Lin
coln is to be carried out
by the committee of t h e
UPP because it has been
suggested that boarding
houses, restaurants and
other various Lincoln
agencies are segregating

Progress will serve at
least one function to in
form the student on neces
sary change and support
a definite interest in im
proving on ideas which
have long been discussed
but never channeled into
areas which could be of
the best interest to all.
Not like the SCBC which
was only a political ma
chine, the UPP is a ma
chine because it is organ
ized, but it will get re
sults in challenging petty
politics and campus "gun
ners" who are interested
only in making a name.
