This is a not too uncom mon cry today and there is a fair degree of con troversy involved, and al though I hate to admit it there have been some fair reasons given in support of it. So be it, I'll leave that to Mac and Pierre. How ever, there is a new phe nomena that I think we s h o u 1 d all give some thought to. This is w h a t might be termed "m a n aged literature". Recently the Philadel phia school board has ex purgated Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn to tone down the violence, simpi fy the southern dialect and leave out the deroga te or y references to Ne groes. That's Just great I won der if the "educa tors?" don't want the little kiddies to know that there was violence in days past or even yet (oh, hor ror) or are afraid that they might come under the impression that people in other parts of the country talk differently than the Philadelphians do (worse yet!) or that the kids might think that relations between the w h i t e race and the negro race have not and are not perfect and present a problem (don't be absurd!). What a great way to grow up, thinking that everybody loves every body (I'm not sure wheth er they admit that ne groes exist or not) and that everyone talks just as the Philadelphians do, heaven forbid, cotton pick ers . . .

Hack Elections Injunction provised ballots after the official supply was exhausted election day, at least one candidate had suffered an injustice. The results of a court hearing on the issue have not yet been made available. Fraternities Banned administration of the University of Buffalo had asked the trustees to reconsider the policy, which provides that all national fraternities must be disaffiliated by June 1967, but the trustees refused. Relaxed Classes activities" is a special experiment in classes in political science, sociology, and psychology. Students in the classes have indicated "overwhelming" support for the idea and professors claim the more relaxed at mosphere encourages discussion in class. Texas Drops NSA funds for delegates to NSA functions and stipulates that any action to rejoin the organization must come from an all school referendum. NSA opponents at Texas attacked the group on the grounds it was undemocrat ic, unrepresentative and a political or ganization. They also charged the asso ciation is overly represented by liberals and eastern schools. THE PONIES ABC RUNNING Ran ponies, run! but look out when these sheltered creatures reach adulthood. The only way to truly educate a person is to ex pose him to many differ ent thoughts, ideas and facts. I'm not saying that students should be inun dated with lurid literature, but by watering down a book such as Huckleberry Finn their reading will re main on the "Look, Dick, see Jane run," level. The only trouble is that their minds will stay on that level too. At the honors convoca tion last Tuesday Lee J. Rankin pointed out t h a t Nebraska should be proud that so many other states attract our good graduates out of the state. He stated that when this stops is the time to start worrying. I disagree. Nebras ka should be vital and kinetic enough to keep the majority of its graduates, which it does not. To me this is something to worry about. Nebraska, if it is in truth what it is thought to be by some people, should be importing grad uates, not exporting them ! How would you like to be Chancellor Hardin, aft er having heard the speech, and go to the leg I 1 a t u r e and say, "We need an increased budget so we can send more, and better educated graduates to the other states"? Why should the Nebras ka taxpayers have to pay to educate these exports? I really can't agree with this point of view of look ing at the University. Ne braska's university, since it is largely supported by Nebraskans, should be Wednesday, May 1, 1963 But Take It! I largely FOR Nebraskans, and evaluated with this purpose in mind. Speaking of Chancellor Hardin, in mine and in many others' opinions he is a b o u t the best thing that ever happened to the University of Nebraska. He brought a fine reputa tion with him and it has justifiably grown to a na tional scope and greatly enhanced his value as Chancellor. He has done an excellent job with what he has had to work with internally in the Univer sity. No doubt he receives of fers for employment at much higher salaries. I doubt if he is staying here because of the money, i would say he is staying here because of the satis faction that comes from trying to build a strong University, a challenging job indeed. But how long can one expect, him to continue when he is burdened with a budget that won't allow him to pursue his goal? The result will be that he will accept another posi tion, and who could blame him? And, if that happens the University will be la beled with the reputation of being in a state with a one horse legislature that won't support it, and then to g e t another m a n of Hardin's stature would be impossible. Some people are unhappy with the progress of the University now. If Hardin were to leave, imagine how hard the University would be to gloss over with hearts and flowers. For Student Council wt will run, for Student Coun cil we will run. Hi Ho for student council we will run in two places maybe because it doesn't seem that there is any ruling against it and furthermore nobody will stop a sweet innocent little dollie for running for Student Coun cil because the judiciary committee wouldn't be an ogre, Hi Ho the elections are coming in one week. For those who have lived through four of these elec tions, this is just more of the same' old song and dance, more of the same old IFC slate or whatev er they are chosing to call it this year, more of the same old "does she or doesn't she" and actually who gives the last five clues to the golden egg hunt anyway. When members of the sterling organization themselves admit that they never decide any thing more important than whether the NU will have a dance on Friday or Sat urday, and when they are not even aware of the fact that dear old Nebraska U doesn't even have dances anymore, then the place is hurt. Furthermore there are certain members of the OMGIQ (Omigod it's Wednesday) Club who hate the idea of going up there for meetings, b u t jimminey crimeny it's great to be cool and popu lar and the one way to be that way is to run down the organization to every o n e else so that they won't want to join it, and therefore the loudmouths can remain as hold over members and really have fun on council, because they will be 21 soon, and then the meetings can be primed for. What I mean of course is that they can go to exec, meetings and help decide whether the form present ly used for the resolutions should have the there- Thanks to Union TO THE EDITOR: A great kindness was shown by the Nebraska i Student Union to the mar- ried students of the Uni- I versity of Nebraska on E Sunday, April 28.

I We, as married stu I dents, loaded our cars with wife and kiddies and I went to the most enjoy I able two hours of enter s' tainment. i The Union is not only to I be complimented, but con- gratulated on the fine af- I fair.

In fulfilling the duties i of the Student Council as the "Supreme student I governing body" and an I agency for maintaining I and improving faculty- student relationships, I be I lieve a representative i should act more as a mir- ror than a molder of stu I dent opinion. I I believe the representa I tive should try to promote the student's interests in ! campus affairs in order I for the students to know what is going on and be i able to speak and vote I more intelligently. I In order to act as a mirror of student opinion, I I will encourage all or- ganized living units and I individual students in my i college to express their I views and suggestions to I ' me. The ability of a Student f Council member to act as p true representative of I his college depends upon I whether or not he is able I to find out the vfews of i those he represents, i GALEN FRENZEN fore's be whereas's if they bring up the AWS hours deal again. What a rat race, and the majority of the rats have never been out of the private little nests long enough to see that the poison that they con tinually say others are throwing their way is pri marily of their own mak ing. Good luck, too bad it comes after Ivy Day, but I suppose that the big bad god of tackling and mask ing knows about these things in advance because ballot box stuffing did not go out with knee buckle knickers, or at least that is what they tell the local pushers. On to bigger and yet no better things. This Friday is going to be Spring Day. Fasten your safety belt Dean Ross, (purchased from the Innocents, natch) you are about to experience all the fun of the midnight ride "David and Lisa" is at the Nebraska Theater. It will be there through to morrow night. There is no way in which it can be compared with any other movie I've seen within the last year. 1 won't turn your stom ach with superlatives let it suffice to say that it was a sensitive, mov ing story, done well, with excellent acting. The story concerns two voung mental patients David, an intelligent young boy who lives with the fear of the physical "touch that kills," and Lisa, a schizophrenic who must speak in verse or return to her other per sonality, Muriel. The boy's mother, played by Lois Nettleton, is an over-protective, social-climbing bitch, one of those sweet ones, you know. The psychiatrist at the school is portrayed beautifully by Howard De Silva, who hasn't ap peared on the screen for years. But the most incredible acting jobs are done by Keir Dullea and Janet Margolin, as the young couple of the title. With subtleties of facial expres sion and vocal inflection, something which seems to have disappeared in most American cinemas today. They succeed in creating a beautiful thing the visable expression of .love between two people, of the beauty of communica tion and closeness. At times the movie seemed a bit overdrawn, for example in some real ly ghastly and un-dream-like dream scenes. But it got its point across, al though I'd be hard put to verbalize it. There was ay Does a man really take unfair advantage of women when he uses Mennen Skin Bracer? All depends on why he uses It. Most men simply think Menthol-Iced Skin Bracer la the best after-shave lotion around. Because It cools rather than burna. Because it helpa heal ahaving nicka and scrapes. Because it helps prevent blemishes. So who can blame them If Bracer's crisp, long-lasting aroma just happens to affect women so remarkably? Of course, some men may use Mennen Skin Bracer because of this effect. How intelligent! of Paul Revere and this is going to take place right in the daytime. The object of the day is to get sufficiently wrought up tc go out dur ing the evening and break the law, unless they have passed an 18 law in this state, and that has noth ing to do with drinking. An 18 law is the law of averages, either you get caught or you don't. This year's 18 law states that the chances are 18-21 that you will get caught if you don't watch out, because Santa Claus is going to come to town with a real bag of goodies loaded with conduct probations and if you pout about it, you'll be out. This is the new and re vised hospitality days. Spring Day is about the only time that city cam pus students' would even lower themselves to go out to Ag, and further more just to go out there and fall in all the mud that one terrific scene where a group of the students at the school are in tran stations en route to a museum, and are treated like freaks by Mr. Subur bia and clan. "David and Lisa" was. produced by an Amer ican, Frank Perry, and his wife. They had never made a movie before, and had difficulties raising the funds for it. Keir Dul lea's experience has most ly been confined to televi sion, while Janet Margol in has never been in a movie before.

We are requesting that ev ery student write his weatherman and ask that there not be rain this coming weekend, because the Innocents have not had their baldrics pre shrunk, and there would be nothing worse than a deluge on an unsanforized campus. As per usual there is generally a warning at the games "may the best man win." This is not the hope of this column. Why doesn't the worst man win and make the whole cam pus mad one day early, because let's face it, Ivy Day is the best day in the world to gripe to begin with, and griping can take years to get over, and if we all got mad early it wouldn't take long to get in the mood.

The movie has won deservedly all sorts of awards, including "Best New Director," Venice Film Festival; "Best Ac tor" and "Best Actress," San Francisco Film , Film Festival; and selection by both Time and Life maga zines as the best Ameri can film of 1962.
