IHIenilock MM .I tYl 'J t Friday, Oct. COUNCIL WISE: About Alabama Edict A sincere vote of confidence is due Tom Kort. chair man of the public issues committee of Student Council, who by his actions yesterday gave this newspaper hope that the Council will act on national affairs which direct ly effect students, whether at the University of Nebraska or any similar institution in the United States. In an unexpected move Kort asked the Council to pass a resolution protesting a University of Alabama edict which forbids its students to make comments to outside newspapers on any racial situation on the university cam pus or on any Negro who is attempting to register at the University of Alabama. As was pointed out in an earlier editorial, this Ala bama U edict is in direct violation of the United States Constitution, and if justice is to be carried out, a test case should be initiated in the courts of the state. Student support is required if the injustice is to be corrected. There are two possible methods of action. If enough funds can be raised, a suit can be initiated. Sec ondly, and this way would be much easier, would be to file a complaint with U.S. Attorney General Robert Ken nedy. Both methods require planning and most important of all, student interest We realize that Student Council should not act on any situation without proper consideration and intelligence. The Council, therefore, tabled the motion because they didn't know the Alabama administration's reasoning for blurting out such a restriction. The Daily Nebraskan provided University students with the information it received through the Collegiate Press Service. The information was not slanted. It gave the student views on the matter, and it did not give ad ministrative comment because the Alabama administration refused to make a statement about it except to say that they thought that professional journalists should handle racial matters, and not students, because their comments were silly. The University spokesman also said that the edict would probably be in effect for years. The Daily Nebraskan has called the Collegiate Press Service and the National Student Association in Philadel phia for further information on the Alabama situation. We will try to have as much information as we can muster in the hands of the public issues committee before the motion nest comes up on the floor of Council. The Alabama issue is important, and now that the resolution has been brought up, the Council should follow through with it with as few hinderances as possible.

You are tinged with a sense of fear that somewhere out on the streets is one of the six Cadets, four Meter Maids, or regular patrolmen hov ering very close to your car, anxiously waiting for the little red flag to turn him or her) on, like plug ging in an IBM machine. Fear and panic. Gets pretty thick if you exaggerate the point, like a fog coming in over church steeples, neon signs, penitentiaries, etc. Parking lot?

The Damnable State Of Recently a sports column ist of a local paper re marked that Bob Devaney and bis team have finally broken down the perennial problem of student apathy at Nebraska. Devaney's highly successful team cre ated a demand for stadium tickets that tbe administra tion could not satisfy. Tbe student body reaction has been anything but apathet ic. So, the students at NU are capable of some re sponse. The question that then follows is this, can NU recognize and react to some of the other problems e list ant on our campus? Will the student body rec ognize that each individual has a responsibility to him self, as well-as to bis com munity, to recognize the problems existent in our so ciety, to take a stand to wards these problems, and to act for their solution. Most people would say tbe important step is in acting for a solution. However, it seems that the most import ant step at NU is in rec ognizing that these prob lems even exist. Most certainly some of you are asking what prob lems I am vaguely raving about. WelL why not try these for a start. 1.1 Dis crimination, Bot nly of w hite against black, but also of American against foreign student, and of independent against greek. 2.) Classroom cheating, anything for that $65 ii m damned grade. 3.) Drinking, and I do not mean that mud in the crib. 4.) Premarital sex, I would hate to shock Pan-Hell, AWS, and Dean Snyder, but this problem does exist in spite of all of your Victorian and Puritan ical regulations. 5.) Person al amusement at the ex pense of a no the r's pride and human dignity. . These are some of the problems that are hidden in tbe dark corners of the campus. I, an ignorant and apathetic student, opened my eyes and saw these all around roe. If we as tbe educated, future leaders of our society fail to recognize our own We ell make auiUtket.

II I I Careful, Council, that "table" may not hold up if too many resolutions are "indefinitely" piled upon it. The tabling of Wednes day's motion to express dis approval of suppression of freedom of the press at the University of Alabama is not, I hope, a sample of what is to come. True, Council members, as elected representatives of the student body, should be well-informed before they vote. But what will con stitute "sufficient" back ground information? From what sources will the Pub lic Issues committee seek its information? When will CouncQ act? In any case, it's good to see our student leaders serving up meat instead of strained baby food to nour ish their constituents. Let's hope they continue. " One question, though. Why was no mention made in Council of the al tered scheduling of next se mester's classes on city campus? In a Tuesday meeting of the Faculty Sen ate, a matter involving ev ery University student was resolved with ne'er a stu dent comment. City campus classes next semester will start on the half-hour. Ag campus classes will begin on the hour. Students social problems and allow them to exist without being challenged, then surely our society will degenerate into a state of self-centered dam nation, with each individual existing in his own private little Hell. If the educated do not question and seek answers then who will? The dead leaders of the past? The babes in arms? Or per haps tbe members of Local Xo. 5430C97 of the Feder ated Excavators of Ameri ca. No, we are responsible for the state of our society.

Approval of the change came, said a city newspa per account, "despite a heavy minority vote." Why, at least, weren't the students informed of the situation? Where is that student-faculty liason function we all hear about at Coun cil election time? Speaking of campus lead ers, martyrdom is ever worthy of note. The Innocents Society, says a Nebraskan story, wiil abandon its stadium seats this Saturday for the bleachers. That's admirable. Good for the public image. Should really impress the myriad of high school students partici pating in Band Day.
