1 The Bad Seed
(
Friday, January 24, 1964
At the end, the editor of the Daily Nebraskan faces
an impossible task, that of writing a final editorial. So
many events take place in a semester, and a semester is
but a minute in the history of this University, that to re
hash the recent happenings and try to relate them to the
whole would be fruitless.
To the new editor I would just like to say:
I could tell you of the sleepless nights, of the irate peo
ple who come into the office every day to complain be
cause their story wasn't run, or their name was left out
or misspelled.
I could tell you of the stomach aches which will plague
you because you smoke too many cigarets and drink too
much coffee.
I could tell you of the anguish that you feel when a
student picks up the paper in Burnett Hall glances at it
momentarily and drops it, when you have spent so many
thankless hours publishing it.
I could tell you of the flush of pride that begins within
flows out when you find that rare person who agrees with
something you have written.
But, you know all this because you have worked on
the Daily Nebraskan before; this isn't new.
As one editor so aptly put it "if you have written
something that someone likes you are the epitomy of 1
journalistic ability, and if you haven't you are yellowly
despicable."
What people think of you isn't what counts, however.
What does count is that you be true to yourself, abide by
the principles you have made for yourself, and never com
promise to please.
Forget about the rating service The Associated Col
legiate Press which has so completely tied, drawn and
quartered the yearbook that it makes their existance un
bearable. Write what you believe, and let your readers
take into consideration what you have said in formulating
a decision. If you win in a given situation, be proud,
and if you fail, at least you will know you have tried.
That's all you can do.
To this semesters staff, I say thank you for your toler
ance and loyalty, and to John Morris and Sue Hovik go
my deepest and warmest respect.

CAMPUS OPINION:
Dear Editor:
Once upon a time in the
proud city of Abraham
members of this city are
on a first name basis
there occurred a problem.
The animal cages having
opened their tickey-tackey
doors, and the members of
the "Grand" Animal Coun
cil having taken their places
in the corn crib, the great
consult began. Such lowing
and squealing resounded
from that corn as was nev
er heard before.
In due time the head sow
appeared and summoned
all Cowlpha Alfalfa Feedas
to their pens with a squeal
and two snorts. The Council
was addressed by a Lamba
(PI. Sheepa). The latter
stated that it had been dis
covered that the piglets had
been procuring corn from
the field in spite of the high
fence surrounding it.
All animals' eyes turned
to the corner pen, where lit
tle pink tails began to curl
between legs. The lowing
and snorting rose to a roar,
only to be silenced with a
squeal and two snorts from
the head trough.
"Why do all our Great
Council Meetings always
end up like this?" croaked
the Vice-Frog.
"We never accomplish
anything with all this low
ing and mo-o-oing," replied
F r e e d a, the feline secre
tary. "It's obvious someone is
procuring the corn for the
piglets," the stool pigeon
began.
The o w 1 replied after a
moment of delibera
tion: "Animals can we
do anything?" "We can't
talk to the farmer in his

DECATUR,

Since this is my last col
umn, it suddenly occurred
to me that there were a few
things I hadn'4 covered in
my semester's bare-footed
romp through campus.
1. About that red and
white bus It seems there
is a big push to get gold
letters painted on the side
of it. My only hope is they
spell out "Union College,"
or next thing you know, the
bus tokens will be shaped
like little kernels of corn,
and you'll have to sing, "My
Nebraska" before getting
on.
2. About smoking and
lung cancer Mistake me
not, I'm all for science, but
there is this big, black
cloud following me around
that keeps saying, "Just
wait, pretty soon they'll dis
cover that beer is definitely
linked to acne, and sex
causes warts."
3. About that student
council poll on drinking
Perchance it was my im
agination, but the survey
resembled a sociology test
none of the answers were
right. The ideal test would
have consisted of a speci
men from each participat
ing student, and a notary
public handy when they
filled out the forms.
4. About Albert Ing's col
umn concerning femme fa
tale activity jocks There
is a lot to be said, but Ing
already has such a big foot
in his mouth, there's just
no room for crow. The least
he could have done was pick
a better name.
5. About registering for
second semester First,
you stand in line to pick
up a card to pay your mon
ey, then stand in line to get
your classes, then stand in
line to pay your money, then
stand in line to drop 15
hours of classes that were
given you by mistake, then
stand in line to see an ad
visor, then stand in line just
because you're afraid not
to. Pretty soon, you have
a complex about it, and
there will be lines of stu

6. About political columns
Now, I'll admit that per.
sonally I've been disillu
sioned in politics ever since
Dewey lost the election, but
there is something so iden
tical to each political col.
umn I've read since a fresh
man. If the trend Is really
towards using the jpresi
dent's initials, JFK, LBJ,
etc., I hope Barry Goldwa
ter's middle name is
Ulysses.
7. About finals The
word is getting around that
finals are nothing more than
a big field trip for the psy
chiatry department. Look
around you when you take
your first final. Everyone
looks like they have ricicuts,
beri-beri, and smell like
bears who don't use DiaL
No one bothers to shave,
wash, press their clothes,
or even put in their con
tacts. The whole school re
sembles an aquarium which
needs to be cleaned out.
8. About student apathy
What does it take , to get
NU collegiates stirred up?
Why, there haven't been any
rumors of English profes
sors teaching Communism,
no bomb threats in Twin
Towers, or even attempted
lynchings of bus boys. I hate
to see a campus lose its
spirit.
9. About my column Way
last spring Lacey said,
"Just write like you talk at
woodsies." I tried. With a
cunning method of re-creating
the atmosphere, I
poured beer all over my
typewriter so it would type
slushy. Unfortunately, all
my English themes smell
like breweries, and now my
typewriter is an alcoholic.
Ever coped with a drunken
magic margin?
10. About surveys on sex
in college My theory has
always been that girls who
are chaste may never be
chased, but abstinence
makes the heart grow
fonder.
