Novelist
Discusses
Homeland
'Three Religions
Forge Spain'
i
The image of Spain is bit
ter. This was the opinion of
Camilo Jose Cela last week
in his speech at Sheldon Art
Gallery. "Spain does not rec
ognize its malady, nor does
it resolve to combat it, nor
does it even attempt it," said
the man who is considered to
be Spain's top
living novelist.
"The Spanish essence, its
ultimate "quid," is perhaps
to live fighting against life it
slef and against death," said
Cela.
Union Has Show
Of Original Music
Music lovers will have the
oDDortunitv to hear a number i
of original compositions writ

jors and graduate students at
the University tomorrow.
The Derformance begins at
7:30 p.m. in the Nebraska
Union ballroom.
Each year the vesy best
original pieces of music are
chosen for the public perform
ance and are varied to suit a
wide range of musical tastes.
Students contributing origin
al works for the program in
clude Richard Vybirai, Mary
Haight, Jim Misner, Carol
Copeland, and Kenneth bchel
fel. In addition to those of the
University students, a special
election written by bister M.
Jeane de Notre Dame of Notre
Dame Academy, Omaha, en
titled "Gloria," will be sung
by the Academy's girls chor
us
The essence of Spain is
forged in the communal life
of the Moors, Christians and
Jews during the medieval
centuries, he said.
"The modern Spaniard
mak-ps use of the three med
ieval, confused and deformed
ways of life. This makes a
battlefield of his heart. The
discord affects each Spaniard
one Spaniard and anotner.
The fighting among the
three religious groups has de
veloped a centrifugal force
evidence in exiles, expulsions
and emigrations, according to
Cia. "Spain is not in decad
ence," he said, "but it is a
decadence."
Cela said that Spain's mis
fortune is that the governing
minorities are condemend to
solitude and do not help the
population. Twentieth century
Spain has proaucea a cele
brated group of artists, think
ers and scientists, he said,
but its technology, science
and political institutions are
not well developed.
Trask Tells YD's
About Fullbright's
Senate Speeches
David Trask, associate pro
fessor of history at the Uni
versity, addressed the Young
Democrats (YD's) last week.
Trask spoke to the group
concerning Democratic Sena
ator W i 1 1 i a m Fulbright's
speeches to the Senate di
rected at American foreign
policy.
"Fulbright's basic con
cern", said Trask, "is the
freezing of American foreign
policy. He calls for a long
hard look at where we are
and where we intend to go."
"Fulbright says that Ameri
can foreign policies are gov
erned bv a series of 'myths'.
The American public lives in
these 'myths , he says, whicn
have been instigated by the
by the Cold War era, in
stead of ideas formed by re
ality. What the public fails to
realize, Fulbright feels, is
that the circumstances which
shaped the Cold War are
eone." Trask explained. "The
polarized condition of the
world does not exist anymore;
we live in a complex world,"
Trask went on.
Fulbright calls for a new
and more flexible foreign pol
icy and also suggests tnat, on
the domestic seene, we devote
more national wealth to edu
cation and welfare, and less
to space and military matters,
Trask said.

The announcement that
Reserve Officer Training
Corps program will not De
mandatory any more brought
great shouts of enthusiasm
and little criticism. Many
students felt that this step
should have been taken long
ago.
One advanced ROTC officer
said that he thought the pro
grams would now be run bet
ter and officers would be
taught more effectively. This
way the first two years won't
be wasted as they were in
the old program.
Another officer said bow-
ever that if he hadn't been ex
posed to ROTC his first two
years he probably wouldn't
"have entered the advanced
program. He didn't think the
student should have to make
the decision whether he was
going to enter ROTC or n o t
while he was still in high
schooL
Mandatory ROTC's being
relevant and necessary was
the opinion of the minority.
The general reactions where
such things as "yeah!,"
"good deal!" and "it's about
time!"
One student commented
that before he came to school
and was required to take
ROTC he was impartial to
the armed services. But after
taken ROTC courses for
two vears he wants nothing
to do with the service and he
will try everything he can, in
cluding getting married, in
order to stay out.
Others related their
feelings on how stupid and
irrelevant dressing up and
marching an hour a week had
been to them. Also they felt
that ROTC classes were a
wasted hour every week
Percentage wise the num
ber of students who go into
advanced ROTC is small com
pared to the number that quit
after two years. For thii
large number that quit, the
two years of mandatory
ROTC was a waste of time.
Unionizing
Joe, Eddy
Will Perform
On Thursday
By Bill Harding
For the first couple of days
this week, students will have
time to recover from Ivy Day
and any other big events that
they may have participated
in last week; but when Thurs
day rolls around, they will,
once again, wena tneir way
to the Union, to listen to Joe
and Eddy.
The up-and-coming young
pair will be here for one per
formance at 7:30, and tickets,
$1.25 and $1.50, are now on
sale in the Union.
This show will probably
take on all the aspects of a
spring woodsie with guitars,
with certain modifications.
The spirit and enthusiasm
that these two put into their
music is so catching that it
all but engulfs their audience.
For proof of this statement,
listen to either of their latest
records: "There's a Meeting
Here Tonight" and "Swing
Down Chariot," This will be
a ereat show and our cam
pus is fortunate to have such
talented performers as tnese.
On Friday, spirit and en
thusiasm once again takes
over the Union with Jazz 'n
Java which features the Sig
Ep Combo this week. Be sure
to stop in and renew your
U.F.A.C. Card (Union Friday
Afternoon Club).
