In the first meeting it was made plain that the group is concerned with the cause of the southern Negro, rather than specific local problems. This raises a curious ques tion. If these persons are really concerned about the future of the American Negro and not just joining to have a cru sade to blow their horns over, why don't they concentrate on the problems about which they know something mainly the problems of Nebraska. True, there is a problem in the South and something desperately needs to be done about it. It makes one ashamed to hear of the things happening to the Negro in that area. But it also makes one ashamed to hear of some of the things happening to the Negro here in Nebraska. Something needs to be done right here on the home front. One does not make friends and influence people by forcing them to accept your views. And the purpose of this group is, I hope, to make friends friends for the Negroand to influence people. The way to do this is to demonstrate to show your concern, but more to convince these people that there is no reason for the race stigma as it now exists. Not having a personal acquaintance with the South, the editor cannot predict the effectiveness of this method in that area. But in Nebraska there are people who could be influenced. Persons who do not really have bad feel ings toward the Negroes but have just ignored the prob lems that their black brothers have. Sociologically, these persons are called prejudiced nondiscriminators. They are prejudiced but do nothing about it. These are the persons that can be worked with. It seems that the Friends might take another look at their purpose and help out Nebraska and its problem. Squ&siL. Squabble "I can't wait to get to college and learn to dress the proper way," was my thought as I graduated from High School. Hah! I got here and learned . to wear grubby sweatshirts, cut off jeans, tennis shoes with holes in them. "That's the way to dress," I was informed. I learned that dressing up meant a sweater and skirt with a pair of heels for a girl, black slacks and a sports jacket for boys. Hopefully, with darksocks. The majority of the time is spent in school clothes. This is very apropos for classes, although in s o m e colleges there is a higher standard of dress even there. But in the case of some thing like an exchange din ner, a date dinner, or something similar, why isn't that party dress that is worn only once or that dress suit employed. Why are the traditional clothes a black sheath and a sports jacket. When formal time comes around the girls search their closet for the most comfortable cocktail dress they can find and leave it at that. If a boy has to don a tuxedo he hardly knows where to begin. He does not know that the ironed creases in the front are to be lifted from their flat posi tion and made to stand out. He does not know how to put on that cummerbund. He does not know whether to wear wing-tops or t h e continental style. He hardly knows what a cravat or a pair of spats looks like. Tails on a tux are out of the question and pocket squares are rare.

MODEL CLEANERS 239 No. 14th St. Cash & mm November 19, 1964 The girl hardly knows how to walk in a long for mal. She cannot manipu late a flight of stairs with out tangling the long skirts in her legs. And along comes Sunday morning. Again the sports jacket comes out of the closet. It would be interes ting to compare the num ber of sports coats versus the number of suits in a college male's closet. The maximum number of suits is usually two; the mini mum of sports coats three. Sunday morning comes for girls, too. Out comes skirt and the most com fortable pair of heels probably low ones. The one hat she may own sits ne glected on the closet shelf and the gloves are left un touched. That's the way they remain for most of the year untouched. They are taken out once a year for a good dusting. The Dean's Tea for wom en is treated in the same manner, only this time the battered heels are given a rest and a pair of flats complements the outfit. And then along comes the job interview. Just what do you wear there? The inter viewer often looks at t h e applicant's dress habits as a criteria. One cannot ex pect to receive the top job dressed in a sports coat. The first day on the job may be a killer for the girl who has never worn heels for any length of time. She is going to be forced to wear them constantly from that time on and does not make a very good impres sion when she comes in teetering, unaccustomed to the new height. Nebraskan 423-5262 Carry rir r -1 ' ' ' '' Ag Cavity Dear Madam Editor: After considering for sev eral weeks the possible rea sons for changing the name of the "Ag Campus" from "The College of Agriculture and Home Economics" to "East Campus", it occurred to us that since the real reason for changing the name is because the Col lege of Dentistry is to be moved out there, it might be better and more appro priate to call it "Ag Cavity." This name should be adopted because it would retain the name "Ag", which is not only an appro priate onomatopoeia, but also reflects the Nebraska Industry which has made this state what it is today. The "Cavity" part of this new name reflects the tra ditional "Great American Desert" known as Nebras ka. It also gives the newest addition to that campus equal time. We would also appreciate your aid in helping us to determine if the rumor that "East Campus" will be put into the soil bank next se mester is true or not. Your friend and mine, W.

Modern democracy is a political institution which depends to a very large ex tent on advanced economy and high technology. Hence modern democracy cannot fit in a state where a wide gap between the Haves and Have-nots exists. Tyranny in ancient Greece, has the enduring credit of establishing social equality, because under tyr anny everyone is placed un der the same footing of equality. In modern times, we associate all forms of po litical institutions which do not tolerate opposition whether organized or unor ganized as a negation of democracy. National economic plann ing in an emergent nation requires unity, or otherwise constructive opposition. Hav ing been clearly established in democratic constitutions that the opposition party can provide an alternative gov ernment, an u p s t a r t, to whom the art of opposition is so outlandish, should fumble. Africa has long-standing political institutions that suit the purpose of the emer gent nations best. Assimila tions of Western democracy thus implies an abandon ment of African customs and traditions. Democracy has a perma nent element: the consent of a majority. If emergent African States have with the popular support of the citizens to recast the politi cal institutions handed over are Jill: Mens Wearing Apparel Viclx 5tv mm to them by their colonial masters, into a political in stitution with an African bias, they are doing so be cause they wish to remove the elements which make it anamalouse.

Therefore: Do not expect the best instructors. 2. We are not large. Therefore: Do not exiect national recognition. 3. We are not beautiful. Therefore: Do not expect magazine coverage. 4. We are not political. Therefore: Do not expect violent campus elections. 5. We are not debauched. Therefore: Do not expect scandal. 6. We are not saintly. Therefore: Do not expect vast humanitarian programs. 7. We are not located in a village: Therefore: Do not expect a college town atmospnerc. These are the realities of campus life. Freshmen ex pect too much; they expect Ilarvard-on-the-plains. It amazes me that we accomplish as much as we do, given our handicaps. You don't like it? Tear up your worksheet and go west, young man.
