Look Again
The Friends at Student Nonviolent Coordinating Com
mittee (SNCC) held an introductory meeting Monday and
will meet again tonight to organize on this campus.
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.

"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.

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.

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,

Question Mark

Africa is always referred
to as a big question mark.

that democracy is an anom
aly in emergent African
States.
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

Let me tell you what our University is NOT:
1. We are not rich.
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. You can't make a silk purse out
of a sow's ear. Besides, a sow's ear is entirely appropriate
for a barn yard.
