TOWARDS:
Equal Opportunity
A few whites fear that some day in the very near fu
ture a Negro and a white with equal backgrounds will
apply for a job and the Negro will get it.
Bat Is more likely the job Interview will conclude in
quite a different manner.
First,' the interviewer will ask both candidates about
their work background. The white applicant one of about
90 per cent of the male whites between the ages of 14 and 19
who have had summer jobs will mention that.
The Negro probably won't be able to. He will be one of
33.3 per cent of the Negroes in the 14 to 19 age group who
were unable to find summer employment.
Perhaps the white has had a job since he graduated,
from high school. It's less likely that the Negro has. All but
4.1 per cent of the white males in the work force are em
ployed; 11.7 per cent of the non-whites (most of them Ne
groes) are not
Next the interviewer will ask about their school back
grounds. The white will say he graduated from high school;
the Negro won't be able to. Although 2.6 per cent of the per
eobs in Minneapolis, for example, are Negroes, only 1.3 per
cent of the high school graduates from 1958 to 1960 were.
Carl Barnes, personnel director of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, says he would favor the Negro job applicant
if he had to choose between persons with comparable back
grounds. But Barnes, who supervises the selection of the Depart
ment's 100,000 employes, says that he is seldom faced with
such a choice.
It is for this reason that the compromise Civil Rights
Bill approved by the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday
which includes a $400 million program of job and literacy
training is badly needed.
Job discrimination against the Negro begins long be
fore he looks for his first full-time job. It begins when he is
discouraged from completing high school, or when he is re
fused part-time work.
Until this inequity is resolved, employers -will have no
difficulty explaining their preference of white to Negro

Dear Editor:
As a former member and
rush pamphlet editor of a
sorority on the University
of Nebraska campus, I feel
that I am qualified to voice
my opinion on the question
of a unified Rush Pamphlet
now facing Panhellenic.
May I say that on the
grounds of cost and equal
representation, along with
less work for the individual
houses, I am entirely in
favor of the rush book it
self in the proposed form,
however, I believe that the
disadvantages of such a
pus - the "INs" and the
"OUTs." The INs are pre
dominantly greek, they
know what is going on be
cause they have been forced
to find out. The OUTs have
more sense.
Grizle wants to be an IN.
She wants to be predomi
nantly in, not just a little
in, so she signs up for open
rush in Madeline's office.
Soon afterwards, Grizle
is elated; she has been in
vited to dinner by an IN
group. Hungrily she goes
with her escorts In. She
meets all sorts of INS, but
doesn't get In. Wha hoppen?
"Boo hoo hoo," sobbed
Grizle, "I've been discrimi
nated against. They won't
let me Join."
"It's the principle of the
thing," she shouts, and
dashes madly to the Dean's
office to demonstrate. But
alas, she has forgotten to
make signs or to bring hun
dreds of other enraged stu
dents with her, so she just
cries.
The kind Dean tries to
console her. "You don't un
derstand Grizle," says the
Dean, "this isn't discrimi
nation. Discrimination is
discrimination because of
race."
"But I am not in a n y
hurry," says Grizle. "You
still don't understand," says
the Dean, "Since you aren't
negroid, mongoloid, or some
other oid, it's all right to
discriminate against you."
The whole issue seemed
like a double standard to
Grizle. So, being a typical
NU coed, she immediately
wanted to start a local chap
ter of the N.A.A.P.C. (Na
tional Association for the
Abolishment of Picky
ClubsY -
But, if you can't join
them, and want to, don't
lick 'em. So off she went to
become an oid.
Sorority Rush Books
publication far outweigh the
advantages.
As Sorority rush is now
established at NU, theo
retically, no sorority is per
mitted to contact any
rushee before rush week on
any basis other than that
of "normal contact." This,
we all realize, is far more
restrictive than the pro
gram of summer rush
which the fraternities are
allowed.
Due to the fact that Rush
Week is held one to two
weeks before school opens,
the greater majority of
these girls are going
through rush without the
slightest idea of what each
house is really like, other
than the rumors, good and
bad, which they have heard
from other Rushees or from
one or two sorority mem
bers whom they may al
ready know. This means
that on the basis of three
and a half hours of actual
contact with the houses they
are expected to make a de
cision which will affect
them for at least the next
Administration Concerned
Dear Editor:
I am not sure that, as
was stated Tuesday, the
University administration
view of the student body is
asinine, but, as an ignorant
and apathetic student, I get
a pretty asinine view of the
student body.
I believe that University
administrators do , really
"give a damn" about stu
dent opinion and are de
sirous of a well defined student-administrator
relation.
Unfortunately, the majority
of students are not con
cerned about campus prob
lems or do not even realize
they exist.
Few are the students on
this campus who will take
any constructive action
against our problems. Lack
of student opinion and satis
faction with the status quo
are quite evident.
Take the case of "an illus
trious red hood" who be
came, concerned when an
other student publicly at
tacked some of the present
administration policies.'
Evidently, the present ad
ministration policies and

Entered a second class matter at the post office In Lincoln, Nebraska,
under 'he act 01 August 4, 1912
The Pally Nebraskan Is published at Room 51, Nebraska Union, on
Monday Wednesday, l'hi. sday, Friday by University of Nebraska students
under the jurisdiction ol thr Family Subcommittee on Student Publications.
Publication shall he Ire irnm cen u-ship by the Subcommittee or any person
outside the University, Members of the Nebraskan are responsible for what
they eausr to be printed
four years, and for most of
them, the rest of their lives.
Now, I ask you, is this
reasonable? Is this fair to
either the girls or the so
rorities? Two years ago room rush
ing was abolished, elimi
nating a method of letting
the rushee know how the
house feels toward her. The
present rush pamphlets,
sent to selected girls which
the individual house is in
terested in, are but a small
way of letting the rushees
know what the house is
like, and that they are con
sidering her.
I feel that the real solu
tion to the problem, how
ever, lies in deferred rush
ing, allowing a period of
time for the freshman to ad
just to college life, to prove
her potential scholastically,
and to give the upperclass
men a chance to meet her
and perhaps get to know
her a little better than is
possible under the current
circumstances.

couldn't pass that since it
went against administra
tion policy.
Oh well, the kids do have
fun getting together on
Wednesday afternoon for
coke and a nice friendly

an ignorant and apthetic
student such as I. If you
asked me questions about
the complex socio-political
structures on this campus
you could learn much. You
could probably find out that

The Kignr way
The time, scene, place,
and characters are .differ
ent, but the plot is the same.
Three thousand years ago,
the Greeks, concealed in a
Trojan Horse, destroyed
Troy Today the United
States has a modern Trojan
Horse on her doorstep: The
United Nations.
Although the UN of 1946
was created as an instru
ment for world peace, the
UN of 1963 has been per
verted into a cold war weap
on for furthering the world
Communist conspiracy.
We were sold the UN on
a promise of pea?e, but we
failed to realize that this
peace was to be on Com
munist terms; in fact, it
was to be a total victory
for the international Com
munist conspiracy. Our
faith in this hope was so
firm that we were lulled in
to a state of false security
while the Communist world
conquered thirteen coun
tries, bringing 800 million
people under their domina
tion. Russia has used the
veto power over 100 times.
The UN has been complete
ly unable to bring any de
gree of peace, and Russia
itself has created fourteen
military conflicts between
the East and the West.
Director of the FBI, J.
Edgar Hoover, in his re
port, "Elxpose of Soviet Es
pionage" (May, 1960) states,
"Attention is called to the
fact that many of the in
cidents and causes previous
ly cited involved Soviet em
ployees of the United Na
tions. "They are guests of the
United States and are sup
posedly dedicated to the
cause of international
peace. But, they are in fact
carefully selected envoys of
the international Commu
nist conspiracy, trained in
trickery and deceit and de
dicated to the concept of
fully exploiting the f r e e
doms of the countries they
seek to destroy. It is too
much to expect that they

sians each year for jobs at
UN headquarters, fhe sum
involved for two years is
$201,200, of which the U.S.
would pay $64,424, while
the Soviet Union would pay
only $35,139.
The Communist influence
has shown itself in the fact
that the UN has never cen
sored Tito's persecution of
Cardinal Stepinac or Hun
gary's persecution of Cardi
nal Mindszenty. In fact, the
UN has yet to condemn Rus
sia's brutal crushing of the
1956 Hungarian Revolution!
Khrushchev has summed
up the Communist attitude
toward the UN in his order
"Rule the UN, Wreck the
UN or Ignore the UN."
Past Communist subver
sion of the UN has shown
us that it is impossible for
the UN to achieve world
peace and progress as long
as the Communists are
members of this interna
tional body. The idea that
the principles of the UN can
be put into practice by co
operating with the Commu
nists is not only a very
naive notion but a very dan
gerous one.
Former President Herb
ert Hoover has stated: "Un
less the UN is completely
reorganized without the
Communist nations in it, we
should get out of it." Since
this statement, he has called
for the replacement of the
United Nations with a
"Council of Free World
Nations." This ' "Council,"
consisting only of non-Communist
nations would work
in cooperation for the
achievement of the original
principles of the UN, which
can never be achieved as
long as the Communists are
part of that organization.
