IT'S THAT TIME:
For Vote Rumor
Student Council elections are nearing and the appro
priate rumors are speading. The first and most worried
about each year is the "planned Independent block vote."
This year it takes these shapes: it is being connived
in Cather Hall. It entails voting for an all-girl ticket, ex
cept one boy, in an effort to negate the IFC Slate. In other
words, "I don't care who gets it as long as your people
don't"
First, it is more than probable that no such move does
or will exist. It is not dignified for others to panic at the
possibility of a mass Independent vote that may or may
not void their interests and create damaging rumors for
protection. In fact, a strong Independent vote would be a
good thing.
Second, it is a gross insult to all Independents to ac
cuse them of unprincipled maneuvers. While politics is
sometimes a dirty game with rough rules, one must keep
his sense of balance. The basis for the above accusation
is fear born out of petty personal differences.
To reduce the Student Council elections to that level
would be, in the long run, to reduce the character of the
Council itself to that level. That, in turn, would hurt only
the student himself. That's how the circle goes and no
conscientious student, Independent or Greek, will drop his
ballot with that in mind.

Inspiration, Frustration
Simultaneous All Day
By Arnie Garson
Yesterday was a day of
inspirational frustration for
me. No, "inspirational" is
not an impossible modifier
for "frustration." Let me
show you what I mean in
particular chronology.
There was not enough
room in today's NEBRAS
KAN to provide adequate
coverage of the M a s t e r s
Program. Each of these
men and Dr. Ruth Lever
ton deserved to have a sep
arate issue of the paper de
voted to them individually.
Yet at the same time it felt
good to reread the wealth
of wisdom which the Mas
ters espoused. There's a
complete education in t h e
NEBRASKA wastebasket
due to lack of room. But
more will be forthcoming.
I heard the IFC candi
dates for Student Council
give their platforms and
answer questions but no
body else heard them. Six
students sat in the South
Party Room of the Student
Union listening to 12 candi
dates answer questions,
mostly from their fellow
candidates. One of the six
was Masters Program
Chairman John Lydik who
took time from what was
probably the b u s i e s t day
he'll spend all year because,
' I'm interested," he con
fided. But although interest in
student government seems
nil, the candidates them
selves displayed an awe
some maturity of thought
for freshmen. If elected, I'm
confident they'll do a good !
job. I
!
The Honors Convocation
gave me the warm feelings
of tradition, scholastic sue
cess, pomp-and-ceremony,
inspiration via Dr. Lever
ton) and, alas, a basketball
game. Unfortunate as that
"basketball" feeling might
have been, it could not be
avoided and was hardly ap
propriate for the occasion. I
tried to shut it out of my
mind, but those seven huge,
faded penants kept staring
down at me from the raw
steel rafters.
The penants are out-dated

Master Robert A. Hardt.
whose story will be carried
in tomorrow's paper, had
words of wit and wisdom
from which 11,500 students
could have benefitted. Even
he expressed dissatisfaction
with the fact that only a
scant few thousand students
could be reached by t h e
nine masters who spent two
hectic days here. But from
the few students who were
really close to the distin
guished alums, the inspir
ing effect of their words
were obvious.
Freshman Joan McCly

from Arts and Sciences and
a chaperone for Hardt, not

A senior who I overheard
in the Crib was still asking

lunch with the Chancellor

story is jnostly frustrating
and does not fit into the
more balanced "inspira

Schulz Still Draws
Charlie Schulz, creator of
the popular cartoon strip,
'Peanuts," works like a
buzz saw on his original
$24 drawing board turning
out strips that entertain
more than 100 million peo
ple every day.
According to a feature
storv in the April 25 issue
of THE SATURDAY EVE
NING POST, Schulz now
completes an entire strip
in as little as half an hour
provided he has an original
idea. One day a week is de
voted to creating the crucial
Sunday strip, which is often
colored by the artist's 10-year-old
son.

Article Lacked Originality
Dear Editor:
A few days ago, as I
was sitting on an island in
the middle of this Interstate
we call life, a college news
paper was handed to me.
Since there are so many
fulfilling, really fun preoc
cupations on this island, I
slowly began a careful per
usal of the paper. Much to
my astonishment and. I
might add, utter gratifica
tion, I found a serial article
on a subject which is a per
ennial favorite of mine
SEX. After taking the init
ial precaution of scanning
"View From the Right" in
order to lull my fellow in
habitants into a false sense
of security, I immediately
shifted left in order to con
centrate all my attention
on man's favorite sport.
(Yes, fellow denizens, most
of us can't afford football
stadiums in our back
yards.)
At this point I feel I
must pause to protect my
self from the savage, in
digenous natives who are
lurking behind every sand
hill and mineral spring.
Never have I had the least
intellectual dalliance with
that modern, Western here
sy known as (excuse me,
Prof. Bouwsma "PLAYBOY
PHILOSOPHY." Just f o r
the record, I'm not an ad
vocate of free love either.

members accept Jack's
statements followed by say.
ing "Only fanatics could
listen and believe.")
One statement, especial
ly, would appear to require
a very great deal of justifi
cation: "Now thousands of
students will have to listen
to the conditioned respon
ses so faithfully memorized
by the 'moulders of the
mind.'" Such a statement
appears at the very least
to be irresponsible.
Finally, I ask you to an

name.

ing space keeps diminish
ing, it's going to be the on
Iy thing left) I'm just a
plain, old-fashioned Platon
ist who has turned his back
on this messy, material
world in order to concen
trate solely on forms.
The first thing which im
pressed me about the ar
ticle was the splendid way
in which it was presented
so straight forward,
so straight laced, so straight
jacketed. My criticism of
the article can be disposed
of in one neat paraphrase.
Never has so much, been
quoted for so many, by so
few. If there's any ting an
island dweller appreciates,
it's an original thought in
the press. Now I realize
that writing about the sex
problem in the Rag is a
touch-and-go situation. (In
fact, if I have interpreted
Travis H i n e r correctly,
once we have eliminated
this touch-and-go situation,
there will be no sex prob
lem at all.) However, if Mr.
Hiner gets an urge to quote
in the future, may I sug
gest that he refers himself
to Henry Miller and Law
rence Durrell. Even to us
medievalists whoses eyes
are on the sparrow, they
are candid, controversial,
and intellectual just what
is needed to snap an island
out of its tropical lethargy.
