LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS A 3 Page 2 EDITORIAL Monday, May 13 1963 We Well in Silence . . A UNIVERSITY IS waiting in silence. A department head within this Uni versity has taken stock, and has found that he is lacking. He looks at his salary and again he sees that it is lacking. He wonders where the money is going to come from. BACK IN his mind he realizes that Nebraska is an agrarian state, and he knows that agrarian states are not afflu ent. He also realizes that the men and women in this state (as with all people) are primarily interested in themselves and their own survival. But if he takes a cold hard look, he see3 that this basic characteristic is stronger in this state. He doesn't want it that way, but what can he do to change it? , THE UNIVERSITY needs money. A state legislature is taking a grim look at the University, and it is acting in silence. The legislature and a gover nor are confronted with a problem it rises biennially. All the state institutions under its jurisdiction want more money. The state budget has not grown in pro portion to meet the demands of these in stitutions, and the governor and legisla ture are wondering what to do. They re alize that the state is basically agrarian, and agrarian states are not affluent. PERIODIC LOUD voices from out in the state have been speaking out in op position to some of the University's pol icies. Evidently these voices don't under- stand some of the state's maladies. The g people are listening to these acid voices and the acid is beginning to bite and sting. There are many favorable voices too, but these voices are not so loud. s These favorable voices know what the University can do for a state and know g what it has done for them, but these voices will not be heard until the Uni- versity comes to a standstill. Their cry I may be too late. I STUDENTS TALKING among them- selves are not silent they, also, have I loud voices. They are ambitious, and, like their parents, want what is best for them- selves. I They talk and wonder, and they, too, realize that the state is basically agrar- f ian. A large majority have been trained for jobs which do not exist in an agrarian state. They are ambitious and selfish, and 1 they are smart. They will leave the University and they wUl leave the state. Not because they don't love it, but because there is no opportunity. I UNTIL THE right catalyst comes along, the University will still be waiting in silence, the legislature and governor will still be perplexed in silence, and the I students will talk among themselves and leave. gary lacey i 'Carmina Burana' WE CONGRATULATE the Choral Un ion, Professor Wishnow and the three soloists from the New York City Opera Company for an outstanding performance of -'Carmina Burana". The University is fortunate to have an active music department which is di rected by musical experts. THEY HAVE, for years, performed a great service for the University they have given us the best in musical pres entations while they have shown the pub lic that the University is a 'gold mine' of talent and culture. offline tions pso WE REMIND the student body and faculty members that nominations are open for Outstanding Nebraskans for the spring semester. At present, only two students have been nominated, and we feel that many students and faculty members are well qualified for this award. Letters of nom ination are to be turned in to the Daily Nebraskan office and they must be signed; however, the name of the per sons making nominations will not be used in publication. THE OUTSTANDING Nebraskan awards one for a student and one for a faculty member are .given each semester to those whom the Daily Ne braskan staff feels have made outstand ing contributions to the University community. l 4 mm I . ;mf(f i X : ' SEW IMS- BE Daily Nebraskan ( SEVENTY-SECOND YEAR OF J" T'V.

ROBERT ROSS FROM: THE OLD GUARD RE: YOUR "GRAND DESIGN"? The time has come for the rumors to grind to a halt; for the people in ac tivities and Dr. R o b e r t Ross to 'cop for a moment and evaluate, coordinate, revise, revamp and edu cate EACH OTHER in an effort to achieve under slanding and cooperation. As it presently stands, t h e activity community and its leadership is sett ing as a powder keg that could have its fuse pulled over night. Emotional anxiety is high, and an anti-itis has set in that can match none in the pre vious five years. Dr. Ross, after one year, has managed to be come quite a controversial figure. He has taken the first and only firm stand against sub-rosas that has ever been taken by t h e University. But, the problem which has now arisen is, what is the so called Grand Design for the campus activity world? Rumor number one which is not a rumor, but has been confirmed, is that the Union Board of managers, a group with 12 students and represen tatives from the faculty and Lincoln community, WAS ABOLISHED by Dr. Ross, and a new organi zation and way of direct ing the Union has been or shall s h o r 1 1 y be imple mented. Secondly, and we assume this to be abso lutely a "No-No", various individuals have stated that the Dean of Men will be asked to sit directly on the Interfraternity Exec tive Council. A third bit of absurdity is the rumor that the Di vision of Student Affairs is considering h i r i n g a person to supervise all publications, and some interpreted this to; mean posuile IceaJorship of the carflpus press. Fourth, it is true that there will be a new activ ities man working for the Division to supervise gen eral services to all activ ities on campus but it is not clear how far this would go in the way of control. If all of these rumors are true, there is reason for student concern, and, whether Dr. Ross will agree or not, they right fully become concerns for many students. And, right fully, they deserve to have truth and basic philosophy behind these moves. Why the changes? Have their been any gross screw ups in student leadership and direction? Have the Union walls fallen down yet? Is the IFC moving in the wrong direction? Are our publications in competent? Aren't activities part of the educational process, giving the individuals in volved an opportunity to lead, work, and think for themselves? Are their fac ulty advisers ineffective? If you have plans for the revision of services to the students, don't you be lieve they should all know what they are, the rea sons behind them, where they fit into them, how they will better benefit the campus . . . There is no doubt that you are a man of excep tional ability . . . that you have good ideas, and Problem of the Week By Pi Mil Epsilon PROBLEM: How many parallelograms are formed by the intersection of eight parallel lines and 6 par allel lines? Count all par allelograms of all sizes and shapes. Bring or send answers to this week's problem to 210 Burnett. The solution will be printed next week along with another prob lem. SOLUTION: The solu tion to last week's prob lem: A) 5 queens, b) 12 V ights Bruce L. Smish solved half of the problem. that you have an excellent background. But somewhere along the way, there has been a break in communica tions to the students and how can any plan or idea work if the people in volved are or have been, in reality, uninvolved? The time has come to sincerely ask that you give the students your plans for revamping their organizations ; that you inform them as to the rea sons for the same and their role in the new for mats. We are all certain that campus leadership is ca pable of participating in telligently, but they don't like outside interference in their affairs. They respect, however, working with someone for a c o m m o n objective if they know what it is. This is not the time for ru mors, especially when they may hinder your effectiveness with the ac tivity community. You're the only one who can clear up the confu sion. You are the only one who can either insure or shatter your support. We'll look for an answer in Wednesday's Nebras kan . . .
