Some Nebraskans, including students at the University
were rather alarmed this morning when the Lincoln Star
carried a lead story relating to the racial problems which
are now being felt by Omahans and their city council.
Omaha's problems began this summer with the birth of
Mayor James Dworak's bi-racial committee. The mayor
formed his committee after he returned from a mayor's con
vention held in Hawaii during the heat of U.S. racial strife.
More directly, however, Dworak formed his committee
to cope with the actions of two Negro Baptist ministers
t.'"''.. "
,m4
there was a racial problem, and that the Negroes were go
ing to do something about it.
As is the case with many administrators, Dworak be
came more apprehensive about the situation than was nec
essary. In a private conversation before the major demon
strations broke out, Dworak speculated that Omaha might
be the site of a breakout in racial subversion in association
with Black Muslims. In actuality, however, the Negroes were
just following a pre-established trend ... a method which
has become the popular way for the Negro to be heard
demonstrate.
Americans can say what they will about demonstra
tions, but they were different in Omaha. Negroes demon
strated at markets, at Peony Park, at the S. S. Kresge
store and at the Omaha World Herald. Their demonstra
ions brought first a realization that Negroes were serious
about their beliefs, and second, the opportunity for Negroes
to sit down with store owners and the City Council to solve
superficial employment problems.
As the result of negotiations, Negroes are now working
In markets, the World Herald, and the S. S. Kresge store
in other than janitorial or maid positions.
Peony Park, a formerly all-white amusement park and
swimming pool, is now integrated.
Mid-summer, Negroes began giving emphasis to the
possibility of equal rights in housing and the purchase of
real estate.
More than mild groans were heard from the west Oma
ha suburban area. The bi-racial subcommittee on housing
found itself in a bind, and Tuesday the Negroes took to City
Hall, interrupted a meeting with strains of the National An
them, and the Reverends McNair and Jones were jailed.
And the trouble is about to begin.

Dark days have fallen. Another frolicking tradition of
campus has been tainted with a Code of Behavior, leaving
a petulant taste in one's mouth. Derby Day has seen refor
mation. Gone is the wild animal splendor of running across cam
pus, pursued avidly by 56 hot-blooded "non-Sigmachi's,"
armed with 56 cans of paint, and 56 lecherous ideas as to
where it should be applied.
Gone are the gentle gambols in green grass, as three
gavanting gauchos pinion you to the ground with gleeful
grunts. How gauche! Yes, vacant are the screams, threats,
obscenities, misdemeanors, and in short the fun.
All that is left is a herd of socially elite women, trodding
and trotting to the Mall to be psuedo-branded with the cold
est paint ever to hit the seat of the problem. A sham of its
tormer glory, a controlled event.
Ah, dear, unsuspecting freshman. Could you only have
known the Campus of Yore.

Homecoming And All
Is A Wasfe Of Time
By Arnie Garson
One hundred students
work approximately two
hours per day for three
weeks, spend nearly $500
(and report $300), acquire
dirty clothes, double pneu
monia, scratched knees and
blistered fingers; all this
mostly in order that Lin
coln residents who verbally
attack students the other
364 days a year can spend
the Friday night before
Homecoming watching froz
en freshmen manuever tons
of crepe paper and chicken
wire in some semblance of
order.
Four houses may be lucky
enough to win $5, a brass
plated plaque in return for
the time members could
have and should have spent
studying. I wonder how
much compensation the
tarnished plaque will be for
for parents of freshmen who
receive down slips at the
end of seven weeks all be
cause they spent the weeks
prior to exams stuffing in
stead of studying.
I am as fond of tradition
as anyone, but time doesn't
stand still, even for tradi
tionalists. Romanticists (in
cluding the Daily Nebras
kan) fought the Coliseum
Pershing graduation contro
versy for three years, until
100 degree heat finally
forced common sense to pre
vail. In case none of you have
noticed college is no longer
a glorified high school, schol
astically speaking, at least.
But homecoming displays
are bigger and better than
ever (at least those which
survive fire and rain).
And do fraternities truly
make men from pledges by
requiring them to spend one
full week without sleep
stretching chicken wire ov
er stolen lumber?
And do Mom and Dad
realize its costs them more
morjey when their daughter
doesn't stuff, but studies?
And if we would spend even

half the stuffying time
studying, and half the crepe
paper money with A U F,
could not the mathemati
cians prove that the entire
state would benefit?
Don't forget now, that
still leaves everybody an
hour a day and the legal
expense limit to come up
with something decorative to
amuse the Children's Zoo
set of Lincoln.
Another thought: Might
not returning alums appre
ciate walking into a clean
fraternity or sorority house,
instead of viewing a sink
full of paper mache in ev
ery room? But again, how
many alums respond to the
last minute "Drop In, Al
ums" signs which are has
tily added to each display
at 3:59 p.m., Friday after
noon, when display chair
men discover the disqual
ifying omission.
But after all, traditions are
like planting ivy on Ivy

Dear Editor:
I would like to take the
opportunity to say some
thing about the article of
Lynn Corcoran and Steve
Sydow, published in the
Daily Nebraskan, Oct. 23.
In my opinion, they have
gone to the extreme of their
stupidity in not accepting
that there is discmimina
tion on the campus. Do we
have to have federal troops
on the campus to realize
there is discrimination on
the campus? I think the dis
crimination on the campus
can be called serious and
we as a student community
should do something to elim
inate it.
If they need proof of this,
ask any Negro or dark
skinned fo r e j g n student
what he thinks of the white
Itoman god, and the vir
ginal goddesses who brag
about the equality in the
United States. I don't think
they will find any one who
has sympathy with the
white race.

If the Nebraska Attorney
General's opinion becomes
the guiding light, the spe
cial session of the Nebraska
Legislature could be a wide
open one. To its credit, the
Supreme Court has come
through with lines of direc
tion for the Legislature m
regards to the time-sales
controversy. With this clear
mandate the legislature
can, if not must, act to clear
up the current mess in this
area.
Also up for consideration
will be the so called correc
tion of the 1963 Budget
Bill. The Kerr-Mills Medi
cal Aid program was orig
inally authorized, but funds
were not appropriated. This
is only one vital correction
to be made. Will previously
authorized programs be
provided with the necessary
funds or will they be elim
inated for the sake of econ
omy? Only time and deter
mination on the part of the
legislative leaders will tell.
Opponents of the State's
Driver Education Program
have Introduced a measure
to provide for Its repeal.
The fight to eliminate it is
being headed by Senators
Craft of North Platte and
Skarda, Moulton and Ma
honey all of Omaha.
There seem to be two
basic reasons for its elim
ination: no need and reli
gious grounds. Opponents
sight one example involving
the states of North and
South Carolina where the
existence of driver educa
tion in one state did not re
duce teenage accidents
compared with the state
which did not have the pro
gram. The second objection in
volves the question of
whether parents of parochi-
al school students should be
required to pay through
taxation for a program in
HAPPINESS CAN'T BUY MONEY
With tuition costs steadily on the rise, more and more under
graduatos are looking into the student loan plan. If you are
one such, you would do well to consider the case of Leonid
Sigafoos.
Leonid, the son of an unemployed lwan gleaner in Straight
ened Circumstances, Montana, had his heart set on going to
college, but his father, alas, could not afford to send him.
Ieonid applied for a Regents Scholarship, but his reading
speed, alas, was not very rapid -three words an hour and
before he could finish the first page of his exam, the Regents
had closed their briefcases crossly and gone home. Ixonid then
applied for an athletic scholarship, but he had, alas, only a single
athletic skill-picking up beebees with his toes-and this, alas,
aroused only fleeting enthusiasm among the coaches.
And then -happy duy! Leonid learned of the student loan
plan: he could borrow money for his tuition and repay it in
easy installments after he left school !
, Happily Leonid enrolled in the Southeastern Montana Col-
lege of Lanolin and Restoration Drama and happily began a
college career that grew happier year by year. Indeed, it be
came altogether ecstatic in his senior year because Leonid met
a coed named Anna Li via Plurabelle with hair like beaten gold
and eyes like two sockets full of Like Louise. Love gripped
them m its big moist palm, and they were hetrothed on
Crispin s Day.
Happily they made plans to be married immediately after
commencement-plans, alas, that were never to come to fruition
because Leonid, alas, learned that Anna Livia, like himself,
w as in college on a student loan, which meant that he not only
had to repay his own loan after graduation but also Anna
Livias and the job, alas, that was waiting for Leonid at the
Butte Otter Works simply did not pay enough, alas, to cover
both loans, plus rent and food and clothing and television
repairs.
Heavy hearted, Leonid and Anna Livia sat down and lit
Marlboro Cigarettes and tried to find an answer to the'ir prob-lem-and,
sure enough, they did! I do not know whether or
not Marlboro Cigarettes helped them find an answer; all I know
is that Marlboros taste good and look good and filter good, and
when the clouds gather and the world is black as the pit from
pole to pole, it is a heap of comfort and satisfaction to be sure
that Marlboros will always provide the same easy pleasure,
the same unstinting tobacco flavor, in all times and climes and
conditions. That's all I know.
Leonid and Anna Livia, I say, did find an answer-a very
simple one. If their student loans did not come due until they
left school, why then they just wouldn't leave school I So after
receiving their bachelor's degrees, they re-enrolled and took
masters degrees. After that they took doctor's degrees-loadi
and loads of them-until today Leonid and Anna Livia, both
aged 87, both still in school, hold doctorates in Philosophy,
Humane Letters, Jurisprudence, Veterinary Medicine, Civil
Engineering, Optometry, Woodpulp, and Dewey Decimals.
.J . f' 'T8' at the end of the last fiscf.1 year,
amounted to a combined total of nineteen million dollars-
im which they probably would have found gome difficulty in
repaying had not the, Department of the Interior recently de
clared them a National Park. ,WBM.,sLB-

which their children cannot
participate. This might be
compared to the similar
question of state aid for
school bus transportation.
This argument has kept fed
eral aid to education bottled
up in Congress for months.
Critics have termed the
driver education program
as being religiously dis
criminatory but in so doing
have ignored all other sue
cesses and the fact that
parents have a choice in
sending their children to
other than public schools.
The concept of a public
education is a long estab
lished one. The state has a
traditional mandate to pro
vide the best and most
comprehensive curriculum
in the public schools. The
driver education program
is the first significant state
aid to education in years
and if the previous religious
argument is sustained, a
dangerous precedent could
threaten future aid pro
grams. With next year's elections
close at hand, this session
has obvious political over
tones. Let's hope that the
state's Legislators can rise
above traditional political
motives and provide the
state with the leadership it
needs.
The state has seen sev
eral special sessions in the
last decade. Most have been
called to consider special
legislation such as broaden
ing the tax base or emer
gency problems such as the
current time-sales issue.
As the responsibility of
the state government in
creases and its problems
multiply, longer or more
frequent sessions are the
obvious remedy. Past situa
tions seem to dictate the
desirability of annual sessions.
