A New Semester
ODE TO A BAG OF BONES
Although leg bones connect up with knee bones,
Deviations lurk in every two or three bones.
This aggregate of rather gruesome dead bones
Should have a brain contained within its head bones.
The aim of this improbable composite
Is to furnish you with meat from that dark Closet.
Mary Evelyn Kiechel
With these inspired words from our collegiate poet
grandmother, the Daily Nebraskan opens its second sem
ester operation. We on the new staff like to feel that we
have prepared improvements, which, when rated in some
aspiring historian's thesis, 50 years hence, will rank this
semester's paper among the best. Fighting drawbacks in
time and money, we will do our best to prove the existence
of a brain contained within our headbones.
The first of these improvements to catch the attention
of our readers was undoubtedly our new (old) distribution
system. The editors feel that last semester's practice of
delivering papers to campus living units discriminated
against the off-campus student, which is completely out of
context with our policy of serving the entire student body.
Although it is numerically impossible to reach 13,000 people
with 6,000 issues, we are endeavoring to reach the greatest
cross section possible.
Another improvement, we hope, will be the paper it
self. We are not here to please our readers, nor have we
been established to satisfy their lust for blood. We are
here to accurately report, to wisely comment and to stim
ulate AND LEAD campus opinion. This we plan to do.
We plan to spice the aforementioned with the proper
blend of humor and satire and to top it off with several
searching and constructive columnists. We plan to "re
move the dead wood" of triteness and repetition from
our pages.
It is not necessary or even proper at this time to
spell out "our policy." Concaived in the practices of com
mon sense and conservative liberalism (or liberal con
servatism), it will appear daily, as issues arise which
merit its application: issues beyond the scope of our imagi
nations at this time.
One point yet remains "meat from that dark Closet."
The editor's Closet is open to any student, faculty mem
ber or human being at any hour activity can be found
there. We appeal to anyone and everyone to come down to
talk things over. The key to our effectiveness is our con
tact with problems before and during their height not
after. It is in the visits and letters to the Editor that we
achieve this contact.
Many of the laborious fruits of this campus are ready
to be plucked. Some will be found to be ripe; others are
already rotten. Give us a little travelin' music, then, and
away we go-o-o-o-o!

lLol-jcf Level,

By Ray A.
In February of I960, four
Negro freshmen at A&T
College in Greensboro, N.C.,
ordered greasy hamburgers
at an all-white Woolworth's
lunch counter. They were
refused.
The students waited until
the lunch counter was
forced to close early for
the day. By staying they
intensified the desire f o r
equal rights never before
experienced in this coun
try's history.
The Negro movement has
been called "The Freedom
Now Drive," "The Civil
Rights Movement" and now
the "The Second American
Revolution."
It is a freedom now drive
because America has failed
to translate into reality the
principles it broadcasts to
the world. It is a civil
rights movement because
black and white students
are working, at the risk of
their lives, to assist Ne
groes in voter registration.
It is a revolution because
these students believe in an
interracial democracy.

The Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee
(SNCC) grew out of the sit
down strikes. One of SNCC's
projects today is to help
southern Negroes in voter
registration.
The Negro makes up a
large part of the South's
population. In Mississippi
43 per cent of the state pop
ulation is Negro, but they
hold no percent of the state
offices or of the state politi
cal power. To SNCC this
suggests a paradox in a so
called representative dem
ocracy. To the southern white,
wanting to give the Negro
the right to vote suggests a
revolution. To many north
erns (both black and white)
this suggests that one
must turn off his TV set
until the newcast is over.
Two former University of
Nebraska students, John
Else and Ken Dollarhide,
are now working in Gulfport,
Miss. These students are
working with other students
from the north and south in
helping Negroes in the Gulf

Burglars r e t u r n to the

faloes and Indians return to
their old stamping grounds
to die. And I have re
turned to the Daily Nebras
kan for another semester to
write a column with hopes
that neither of the afore
mentioned fates applies to
me.
During the semester sev
eral projects will be car
ried out via this column.
Many are of a serious na
ture and will be revealed
when the iron is hot. Many
are of a lighter vein. One of
these is the topic for to
day's column. An earlier
Squee's Squabbles lamented
the fact that the Nebraska
Cornhuskers have no sym
bol, no yell peculiar to our
school. "Go Big Red" comes
as close as anything. It can
be applied to any school that
has red as one of its school
colors and our color isn't
even red, it's scarlet.
The Arkansas Razorbacks
entertained everyone with
their "so-o-o-e-y" yell. Old
sters and youngsters alike
could be seen leaning back
their heads and letting loose
with the pig-calling yell.
The Texas Longhorns
dashed all over Dallas with
their little longhorn sign

And the Nebraska Corn
huskers stood there, envy
ing everyone that had some
ting to do or yell. And what
was worse, the Cornhuskers
had something to yell about.
They had a great team of
which they were all proud.
But still no yell.
The Student Council has
appointed a committee to
"investigate the situation."
But ii needs no investiga
ting, it needs some action.
The Council committee
could undoubtedly use some
ideas with which to work
and so this column is spon
soring a contest to come up
with some ideas. The prize
for the winner has not yet
been decided, but there will
be one.
Entries should be sent to

in this column as they are
submitted.
So put on your thinking
caps and "Go Big Red
fans," and come up with a
winner.
