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.

'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.

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.

TO: G. 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

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 . . .
