(Actually very few of them have complained but the up per classmen feel sorry for them. ) But not much has been said about the 300 or so fresh man who are sitting in some of the best seats in the card section the Kernals, part of the University pep organiza tion. They, more than their upperclassmen friends can see the plays of our highly-touted team as they tromp or stumble over the opposition. And how were these lucky few chosen? For their great amount of pep? For their devotion to the University? For their good looks? Nope, guess again. The Greeks were given a quota, each house choosing so many to represent them. This just may result in a com bination of the traits needed for a good pep organization. But the independents, that's a different story. They too are given a quota. Only so many dormies, so many housies. Sounds like a nice balanced group. But the "independents are "chosen" by having them walk up to a booth and sign up. The signing-up process starts the first day of New Student Week, and is carried out on a first-come, first-serve basis. Many freshman flock to their new environment to un dergo a myriad of orientation convocations and appoint mets. But this year the University invited freshman to participate in a summer orientation, thus alleviationg the need to come down until the last of the week. Those conscientious students who responded to the University's call arrived late on campus, only to learn that they were being jepordized. They had no opportunity to sign up for the fifty-yard line seats. There were man y, many disappointed freshmen. It is regrettable that the Tassels and Corncobs, spon soring organizations, did not have the foresight to find a fairer method of choosing before the problem arose. The Daily Nebraskan hopes that in future years a bet ter method will be chosen. Even having the applicants stand at the end of a Jong pipe and hollar down it to see who can yell the loudest would be an improvement. SUSAN SMITHBERGER Cjrafiti P. A. DRAKE clip bingo.

Okay, so a work of art is a work of art is a work of art. But even art museums rotate their tires occasionally. 'cmCJcovrn, Itumrance Company 1 i J Anthropologists have fre quently told us that culture is the greatest of human blessings. It equips us with responses to social situa tions which we need to live constructively with each other and with ourselves. This view is now being modified. A somewhat off beat anthropologist, Jules Henry of Washington Uni versity, recently published a book which emphasizes the adversities of living in culture. Culture, he argues, poses problems as well as solu tions it is by no means an unmixed blessing. This view strikes me as relevant to some understanding of the emotional difficulties experienced by students especially new students in dealing effectively with . the challenges of univer sity life. Any careful observation of students soon uncovers a deep reservoir of fear in many and perhaps most of them. Young people coming to the University must make a number of ex tremely important and ex tremely difficult transitions, among these the change from adolescence to adult hood (surely the most important): the change from a protected-provincial societal situation to a less protected more cosmopoli tan environ and the substi tution of the higher learn ing for secondary-school ed ucation. Students feel a deep sense of "not-knowing." They do not initially know how to deal with these multiple tasks. Of course, this is a regular and un expungeable facet of s t u dent experience; all stu dents at all times must meet these challenges and the emotional disturbances associated with them.

Culture-Good Or difficulties of adjustment have assumed unprece dented proportions. In earlier years, students could rely more extensively on prior experience the experience of their fami lies, churches, and schools as a guide, however par tial, to the novel challenges of the university. But extraordinary changes in American life occurring within the last generation have placed un usual strains on those insti tutions. Students cannot count on youthful training as heavily as in the past . Moreover, the university to which they come is itself in considerable difficulties, almost all of these difficul ties associated with the enormous expansion in en rollment and enlargement of function which has over taken it of late. Therefore, the university provides less help to students. Many, indeed most, stu dents still respond effective ly to the rigors of univer sity life, but a growing pro portion of the student body finds the fear too great. The result is destructive ab normal behavior. If at all times and places there must be some abnormal behavior in response to the "n o t knowing" students always feel and must face, the point to remember is that we now note an abnormal j?k$ FROM 100 TO IIM STREET AklLRIC Ol OtlIT i mm ill Mniliiii ,JBn"""l ' J t' ' Special "& .1 & Student lk f jf Rates fl1 1 ARTHUR MURRAY'S!

Some students experiment vitn alcohol, others seek solace in debilitating sexual adven ture. Many try to suppress extremely hectic activities schedule. Still others seek comfort in the opposite re action indifference and apathy. Two questions now arise. Is this a sound analysis of the situation? If so. what can be done about it?
