From the MANEATER MU's - I ! Page 2 EDITORIAL Now that the Purple Pi ano has closed and thus removed us from the sphere of "genuine live entertainment," here's a piece of good news for you. Sunday night in the YMCA at 8:30, the local SANE committee is spon soring a nearly-free con cert program of folk mu sic. Called "Folksong Amer icana," it offers a cou ple of hours of release from the tensions, strains, etc. of this weary life. Seriously, it Is an infor mal history of the folk songs of this country, pleasantly rendered by the local semi-professionals. Several University peo ple are involved in it, in El TO THE EDITOR: I am writing this letter to you as the first repre sentative of the University of Nebraska's program for a year of studies in Mex ico at El Colegio de Mex ico. There are two reasons for my writing this letter. The University of Nebras ka will be expanding this program for the coming year of studies, and there fore I feel obligated to give the students involved in the program a short preview of what they will encounter in Mexico. I al so believe that the other students at the University will find interesting a short letter about what a North American student meets when studying in a Latin American nation. El Colegio has a stu dent body representative of almost all the coun tries of Latin America. A North American student that comes to the school receives a cross section of student opinion that per haps he would have diffi culty finding anywhere else. Since, as you know, the students in this region take a very active Inter est in politics I have quite naturally heard the opinions of my compan ions concerning the whole range of problems that mutually affect Latin America and the United States. The exchange of opinion, TO THE EDITOR: If they gave awards for printing the most dis appointing news story of the year, the Rag would win going away for Wednesday's article on Student Council elections.

Colegio de Mexico unflattering as it might be at times about our nation and its actions in that area, has been quite en lightening for all con cerned. The opinions of some of my fellow stu dents on such controver sial subjects as Cuba, the spread of Communism in. America, the political in stability of that area, the solution to the many problems of the region, etc. is often quite differ ent from what we expect or even want to hear. One sees how misinformed we are about Latin American sentiment in general. A concrete example is Cuba. Latin Americans don't condemn Castro or the Cuban Revolution as we are so used to hear ing from our newspapers or the statements of the O.A.S. In fact many peo ple here consider the rev olution as a very benefic ial change for the masses in Cuba. One does not find a universal fear in Latin America of the men ace of Communism, as one does in the United States; in fact, Latin Americans fear our influ ence in their affairs more than they do that of Rus sia. This is based upon concrete historical exper ience. Therefore, a student who comes to Mexico to spend some time here, will leave better informed over the 'Wake Up, Students!' tions. Students rant and rave about the "miser able" job Student Council does, but when it comes to the simple action of taking a few minutes to cast a vote to ' help the situation, only 21 of the students consider the mat ter worth their time.

A couple of weeks ago, I attended one of these "meetings," and it was fascinating. There were maybe 7 people there, and a serious considera tion of American racial policies took place. This kind of discussion gets pretty tiresome when all of the discussants are Nebraska-bred, but with an Indian, Chinese and Irani an thrown in, all kinds of new light was shed. Very thought provoking, and just one of the things that the NIA has b e e n spon soring. Anyone can go to the discussion, and you might learn something. I did. actual state of things in Latin America than if he had remained in t h e States dependent on books and newspapers. A North American stu dent in Mexico gains a lot more from his stay than the information derived from his studies. Mexico is a country with a cul ture and a way of life quite distinct from the one that is found in the United States. The coun try is composed of var ious regions, each one of which has its own Distinc tive flavor. There ere an cient centers of Indian cul ture such as Oaxaca, old Spanish cities such as Gu anajuato, and of course the vibrant life of the capital, Mexico City. In addition a y ear in Mexico should give one a fluency in Spanish that is impossible to obtain without living in a Spanish-speaking coun try. In conclusion, I would like to say that a North American student in Mex ico finds an enriching edu cational and cultural ex perience. In addition let me not forget to say that a North American here carries the , responsibility of represent ing his country and in forming Latin American opinion, which is often as misinformed about the United States as we are about Latin America.

AN INTERESTED UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEE KMTOR'8 NOTE: Tin following article, which diacassea Nebraska's Masters Program, appeared In the aMNKATi.lt. the University at Wnsou-i's slodrnt newspaper. The columnist. Larr Fuller, recently visited the University el Nebraska rampug. By LARRY FULLER A point repeatedly stressed by Bill Seelen, director of student activi ties, at a recent Cross-, roads discussion was that many activities of our student government have fall into the "fun" re alm and have very little to 'offer educationally. But last weekend at Ne braska,' we were able to see first hand a new pro gram instituted there that not only was educational, but brought about a clos er bond between the alumni and the students. CALLED THE "Mas ter's Program," the Stu dent Council invited five alumni who have succeed ed in various walks of life in the "outside world" to return to t h e campus and speak to stu dents. The participants includ ed J. Lee Rankin,former U.S. Solicitor General; E. H. Dorhmann, director of personnel for IBM data processing; Percy Spen ser, chairman of the board of Sinclair Oil; Chris L. Christensen, re tired vice president and chairman of the executive of Celotex Corp. and Les lie Welch, probate judge of Jackson County. After a brief orienta tion program on the cam pus the first day, the five men spent the rest of their time talking to stu dent in their classes, in assemblies and in their living units. THE MASTER'S Pro gram gave students an insight to how men who were leaders in their re spective fields thought. They answered questions on what people were look ing for in graduating stu dents, the Masters' defi nition of success and how iftose Queen Chosen s 1 Patricia Schmadeke as I chosen Queen of Delta i. ia iPi.

Chairman of the Mas ter's Program, Dave Smith, admitted he was afraid that the program might fall flat in the din ner discussion groups, but found these to be about the most successful part of the program. "We had members of Mortar board and the In nocents (counterpart to QEBH and Mystical 7) escort the Masters and start the discussions," Dave said.
