Much has been said about the poor freshman who sits
down in the South Stadium at Nebraska's football games.
(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.

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. In re
cent years, however, the

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
