Persons driving down 14th Street are met with a de luge of students crossing the street, completely ignoring lights in an attempt to cross the bottle neck and get to class on time. The University Regents voted Tuesday to urge the city of Lincoln to ciose 14th Street. This of course is going to mean rerouting some traf fic, but may also mean saving a few lives. Several close calls have occurred on the corner of 14th and R. Last year several people were injured, luck ily not seriously. This year there have been fewer acci dents, possibly because drivers have now become educat ed to look out for the pedestrians. But this does not lessen the possibility of an out-of-town driver, or possibly of an irate driver, racing through the intersection and knocking off some innocent student. Several proposals have been made in the past, both officially and unofficially. They include a viaduct for ve hicles, a viaduct for pedestrians, a new traffic light that would lessen the complicated corner. Closing off the street in front of Love Library lessened the complication some but still left a dangerous intersection. The least complicated and most effective answer seems to be closing the street altogether. There will still need to be accesses to the parking lots in that area but through traffic will be eliminated. The closing might also make way for a grassed-in section or perhaps Dean Martin's skating rink. It will make for a more beautiful campus. Columnist Added A new columnist. Allan Gerlach, has been added to the editorial page writer. Gerlach, a member of SANE will present the views of that group. SUSAX SMITHBERGER By Mike From time to time, we must think "unthinkable thoughts." In that context, I offer excerpts from an article by Walter Cronkite. It deals with the role of the Fraternity System, which is much in question today. "I am not entirely a con formist in the popular cur rent view that the empha sis Is fraternity life must be focused on individual and group betterment. I don't happen to believe that, to justify its existence, a so cial fraternity n e e d s to cloak itself in petticoats of virtue. From whence came the idea that a social fraternity must combine the scholarly and service functions of Ro tary, Kiwanis, Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Delta Chi, the Student Union and the Newman Club? In what con text must we believe today that there is no room in the undergraduate's life for purely social championship with his fellow students? Certainly there is need today for a new devotion, a rededication to the pur suit of learning, that this nation may continue its de served leadership and that we may be better prepared to meet the increasingly se rious threat from alien ideologies. But this great task need not be unleavened Don't Rent a tux. We have good tuxes, $3 & up, also formciis, party clothes & fur coats.

Frequently the harder the common labor the greater the bond which is forged among the laborers. But let us not, through some sense of false embarrassment, permit this to become the college fraternity's princi pal reason for being."

Former Chairman Khrushchev has stated that the survivors would envy the dead. With such a ca tastrophe looming on t h e horizon, it is time for all responsible Americans to ask "What's Left?" Nuclear weapons have made war as an instru ment of national policy a totally self-defeating one. The time for simply talk ing about peace has passed in a world in which there is potentially a 10-or20-ton bomb hovering over the head of every , man, woman and child on the face of this earth. The best hope for a world without war lies in the achievement of general and complete dis armament with adequate Inspection and control, and under a greatly strength ened United Nations to pro vide peaceful methods for the solution of conflicts and the promotion of world change and development. But neither disarmament by stages nor the attain ment of a true peace can be achieved without facing the problems and conflicts in world trouble spots to day. Those problems should be faced simultaneously with those involving weap ons of mass destruction. President John F.

So what are you welting for? nedy, in his address to the United Nations in Septem ber, 1961, challenged the U.S.S.R. to a "peace race." While we disagree with the Communist nations in manv ways, we also have com mon interests in avoiding nuclear war. ending radio active fallout, reducing money spent on arms which is needed elsewhere, and in ending the suicidal arms race. Upon these common interests world security can be based. The signing of the limited nuclear test ban treaty of 1963 is an indica tion that the Soviets too want to survive. . Now, with the continuing Soviet-American detente, the time is ripe for some bold steps in the "peace race." Russia may or may not accept the challenge, but we will never know if we do not try, vigorously and repeatedly. We must, as Senator Fulbright has suggested, "think unthink able thoughts." America can take world leadership by setting bold new policies that show the way to a peaceful world. American initiatives to slow the arms race as well as new approaches to political settlements in tension areas, are two broad areas in which new American poli cies are needed. Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed. These defenses will be dis cussed in later articles.
