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 . . . Why bother to
teach "Johnnie" to read
at all? He could be in

Students in the classes have indicated

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

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-

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

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

only time that city cam

lower themselves to go out
to Ag, and further more
just to go out there and
