One may question the need for calling off all hour exams during that period but the thought of cancelling all student activities is indeed a good one, and is -typical of some of the student-oriented moves on the part of Student Council this year. Too many hours are spent preparing for meetings, sitting through meetings and compiling activity points during the last week. There is not one student who could not use the opportunity to really become a student for ' once instead of an activity jock. However, it will now be up to the student to utilize the week in the manner that was intended. It was not intended to become a big party week end the last big blow before finals. It was intended to help the student become prepared for finals. In order for the staff members of the Daily Nebraskan to become equally prepared, and because there will be little campus news during that last week, the Daily Nebraskan will not publish during dead week. The last issue for this semester will be published next Friday. Also because of dead week, and no papers during that time, the deadline for nominations to Outstanding Ne braskan has been novel from Jan. 15 to next Tuesday. This means that those students wishing to nominate pro fessors and students for the position must get out their typewriters or pens and begin writing. There are many persons, both students and professors, on this campus who are worthy of the honor. Only one application has been received so far. We urge nominations to be sent to the Daily Nebraskan immediately. SUSAN SMITHBERGER Correction There was a misrepre sentation in the Daily Ne braskan yesterday. Miss Guenzel's story was an ex planation of the opinions of the Structual Committee only. These ideas will now be presented to the Con stitutional Convention as a Rules For Life By Bonnie Bonneau In this tumultous world of trial and tribulation it is al most impossible to live without some rules to guide you in the right and honor able path. Since I am but a mere freshman and have not yet completely adjusted to college life. I find in my small not-completely-corrupted brain that I prefer suggestions to rules It is my opinion that the general populace needs a set of suggestions to aid and aoet in one of the more sim ple but yet unperfected as pects of college ... so I have composed for you an assembly of suggestions on the topic "How to Flunk out of College Without Really Trying." a. Don't eat meals ... the dietician is a sadistic friend who loves to give the inmates ptomaine poisoning. b. Live on No-Doz, nico tine and coffee . . .ev erything else is fatten ing. c. Four hours of sleep is enough for anyone . . . English, poli. sci., math and history. d. Take up playing the stadium horn . . . then your neighbors can en joy your moods too. e. If things really get tight and you think you're beat take vita mins. f. Don't miss a party . . . if all else fails (or you fail all else) you can major in social jocko graphy. g. Never pass up a good game (Monopoly, Uncle Wigley or Coody) . . . if you lose you can practice the laws of bad sportsmanship but if you win you can cele brate by having anoth er beer and skipping the studies that night. h. Become an intellect when there is nothing else to do (no one to talk to or drink with and no parties to go to) . . . watch a good Western onT.V. I. Be on lots of commitees Spectacular Import Sale Merchandise ordered for YWCA Bazaar which arrived too late to display is being sold at low, low prices 50 off on most item ce it at Hound The World Shop 1312 l STREKT wm- whole for their considera tion. The purpose in presenting the ideas at this time is to encourage interested stu dents to attend the Sunday meeting of the Constitution al Convention to offer their ideas or comments. . . . it's committees that make this campus go round. j. Don't study too hard you may strain your brain . . . then you can't remember any good jokes. k. When in doubt call in Ron Kirkland, or punt. 1. Start studying at m i d night when your brain is too tired to remem ber any good jokes. m. If you go out earlier in the evening (10 p.m.) and have a few beers it makes studying a lot easier to take. n. Copy assignments . . . what are friends for? o. Daily assignments are a waste of time . . . wait till you're really in a jam then study (or copy, as it were) like mad. p. Don't read daily as signments ... the night before the test look over what "whoever had the book before" underlined or accented. q. Don't sweat an hour exam . . . it only counts a small part of your grade. r. Don't start studying for tests till the night be fore . . . you know that you can't remember all that junk very long. s. Start your term paper the day before it is due . . then sleep through all of your classes the next day. t. Don't worry about finals ... the worst thing that can happen is flunking out. I hope that these small jewels of wisdom will help to guide you in an upright and honorable path through out your college career (the next four weeks). uii:Hiffliimii!imifiimwiiiiiimim ; About Letters 5 TIM DAILY KrumKA KrrtUe 5 re4era I M It nim" m atpta CTrrnrt refsr 5 3 In M iiwvM. vnm amut k x ftnnL mt ertM an free !

Hopping into my sporad ic auto, I journey to a cold water flat out in the boon ies, inhabited by a c 1 o s e friend of mine who teaches a section of freshman Eng lish. Together we spend many gleeful hours reading and correcting freshman English themes. One would think that, af ter spending several hours each afternoon reading the efforts of the local staffwrit ers. after respelling and re writing and striking out re dundancies, the sieht of such amateurish writing would turn a news editor's gastric region a sicker hue than his lungs. Surprisingly enough, it does not, for two obvious reasons. The first is that the lungs have had a two-year head start; the second is that the search for a coher ent freshman theme, paral leling that of the Holy Grail, has become an obsession with us. After wading through fragments, illegibil i t i e s and paragraphless statements, I can really 'Coverage Bad' Dear Editor: I was very disappointed in the coverage of the Ytf'ti Cotton Bowl. 1 thought that it yas a very negative ar ticle. Wednesday's paper was a time when a football team should have been praised, not torn down. Being a spectator in the stadium myself, 1 have never been so proud of a bunch of players and sports staff.

Although this latest ses sion was far from the most delightful, it reaffirmed my previous evaluation of this University's freshman Eng lish program. That evalua tion is: a freshman who takes "composition" at this University DOES NOT LEARN HOW TO WRITE. Having been spared, through a series of heaven sent circumstances, the ag ony of freshman "composi tion," I cannot speak with absolute authority on the problem they seem to be spreading. I gather from conversations with my friend, however, that the course concentrates on a re evaluation of English gram mar with the hope of giving the student a fresh new out look on the subject. They study a different system of sentence compo sition. They write two to three themes per semester. Two or three themes. Now one of these is prob ably listed as an autobiog raphy. It is handed in ear ly in the semester to give the instructor some idea of the student's ability. The second of these would probably be "write on the differences between college and high school English." And if the teacher's am bition and the student's luck were not disappointed at all. but proud! ! I think every person should be proud of our foot ball team, student body and alumni. For a team that was supposed to end up fourth in our conference to be come Big Eight champs again and receive the Cot ton Bowl bid is really something. No one should ever be (lis uix;inted. but should give the players and coaches thanks for making our state a very proud one today. A Fan. , ; CHRISTIANO'S carry far enough, the third theme might be "construct your own system of gram mar, including inflections and any other devices ne cessary to show your know ledge of the bases of con struction." TWO TO THREE THEMES? This is ridicu lous! I would sugget renaming the course to "English Grammar." Or, I would suggest re quiring one theme per week, reviewing these themes be fore the class and , basing the final grade almost whol ly on these themes. Games, that's what this University is presently play ing, under the title of "Eng lish Composition." Deliver us. Required games. Two to three themes per semester. Two to three required games per semester. Money problem? Am bition problem? Something overlooked? Or is this the way the architects of t h e course envisioned their ; products?

Can You Qualify? 432-0146 TAITt-flMFTIMQ UCtnS Or have fond delivered uizzling hot to your door in the Tizza Wanon ' By Bob Weaver With the January Meet ing of the Republican Na tional Committee, the fate of one Dean Burch will be decided amidst cries of "purge", etc. Mr. B u r c h has decided to assume a "I'd rather fight than switch" attitude, ignoring the advantages or disadvan tages to his remaining with the Republican Party. To further complicate matters, S e n a t o r Goldwater has written each of the Com mittee members asking them to support Mr. Burch. Goldwater feels that a re pudiation of Burch would be a repudiation of his own personal position, his can didacy and those who sup ported him in the past elec tion. This controversy has al ready been carried too far for the good of the Repub lican Party. It is quite nat ural for those who oppose Mr. Goldwater within t h e party to want Burch's res ignation. It is clear that Burch represents the Gold water faction of the party rather than the whole par , ty. Like Goldwater, Dean I Burch is a 'symbol of the catastrophic Republican de feat and could harldy be ex pected to lead the party in its revitalization and unifi cation efforts. The Chairmanship of the National Committee is not only an active leadership po sition, especially when the party is out of the White House, but is also an ad ministrative j o b. Both these roles demand a party professional, trained and experienced. Mr. Burch, an Arizona attorney, has had most of his experience on Goldwater's Senate staff and as a personal aide to the Senator. There is a recent analogy within the Democratic Par ty which could aide the Re publicans in their delibera tions. Following the 1960 Democratic National Con vention, Sen. John Kennedy appointed Washington's Sen. Henry M. Jackson to head the national committee un til after the campaign. The Democrat sthen turned to a party pro, Connecticut's Happiness Is...

''") :80tEraFGSl in Town DIVIDEND BONDED GAS 16th & P Sts. Democratic State Chairman John Bailey to head up the national committee. He has served in this position for four years with a profession al competence envied by many Republicans. The dif ference in the two cam paigns (Kennedy in 1960 and Goldwater in 1964) was of course that Goldwater's per sonal staff moved in a n d took over the National Com mittee machinery from which they ran the cam paign. In 1960, Bobby Ken nedy and the Irish Mafia did not bother with the na tional committee as the bas ic platform from which to launch the Kennedy Presi dential effort. (This of course is not to say that the national committee was not used in the Kennedy cam paign.) It is therefore clear that Burch, if he receives a fa vorable vote of confidence, will by no means have an overwhelming majority.. This writer believes that he can only remain in his job if it is the overwhelming decision of the national com mittee. For the good of the party it would be best if he resigned even if he has a bare majority of the nation al committee. This corner predicts that he will even fail to receive a majority vote within the national committee on a question of confidence. To whom should the Re publican Party turn for a national chairman? The par ty has any number of po litical professionals in and out of office who would do an excellent job. Idaho's Gov. Robert Symlie or Kan sas' retiring Gov .John Anderson should be consid ered in any search for tal ent. Probably one of the most talked of and most ex perienced party technicians is Ohio's State Chairman Ray Bliss who has pioneered many new approaches in vote getting and is usually credited with the 1960 Nixon victory in that state. If Mr. Bliss was to assume any responsibility with the na tional committee, chances are that it would be a tech nician's role, with one of the other two mentioned serv ing as national chairman.
