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.

Tbe only thing that in
volves a majority of lin
colnites (and tourists) a
majority of tbe time is
something called the park

Everybody gets tagged
occasionally for illegal
parking, no matter where
they live, but in Lincoln,
parking on the streets is
simply lethaL Park your
car and try and spend a
leisurely afternoon shopping
downtown. 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? OK, refuse

children of Lincoln. The
money collected from park

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

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

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.

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?

Reasons cited for the time
switch included:
allowing use of the noon
hour for class scheduling;
alleviating crowded con
ditions in public eating ac
commodations around the
city campus;
improving traffic con
gestion during the morning
when 8 a.m. class-goers add
to the general city traffic
rush;
continued effectiveness
of b e t w e e n-campus bus
transportation.
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.

for the public image. Should
really impress the myriad of
