We Like It Radi
Most groups on campus have stereo
types. We find ourselves picturing Intra
fraternity Council (IFC) meetings as
idealistic gatherings of blazers and wing
tips; we imagine all engineers to have
slide-rules hanging from their belts; we
see Associated Women Students (AWS) as
an arch-reactionary group of kill-joys.
IFC and the engineers are above and
somewhat removed from these stereo
types; AWS is poles away from being
either arch-conservative or kill-joy. Dur
ing this school year alone, AWS has made
three significant changes in women's
hours.
Time was when a crusader for more
freedom for women was sneered at as a
radical. Two years ago, a motion to work
with AWS for the loosening of hours was
literally blasted from the floor of Student
Council.
But this year, AWS has 1. Extended
week-night hours for junior women from
10:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.; 2. Allowed second
semester freshmen to stay out until 10:30
p.m. even before first semester grade re
ports are released; and 3. Extended sen
ior week-night hours from 11 p.m. to midnight.

The Innocents Society
will soon be threatened by
a new rival organization
modeled after that famous
group who select their mem
bers according to scholastic
record and service to the
University.
Unlike the Innocents how
ever, who choose only those
with a high grade standing,
this new group is limited to
only those who can achieve
and maintain a grade aver
age of under a three.
Despite this unusually
stiff requirement, a large
membership is expected.
The name of this group
will be appropriate
ly enough, the Ignorants.
One can always recognize
an Innocent by the devil's
head and number 13 sewn
on the sports coats that
they wear every Monday.
Likewise, one can always
recognize an Ignorant by
the red triangle on the front
of his gray sweatshirt that
he wears 24 hours a day 7
days a week.
The Ignorants will have
some fraternity characteris
tics also in that all new
members must remain as
a sort of pledge until they
make their required grade
average. These men will not
be called "pledges" though;
they will assume the title of
"junior jock".
Upon making their aver
age, they are entitled to all
the rights and privileges
that a regular Ignorant en
joys such as wearing thongs
with their gray sweatshirts
and being allowed to issue
loud guttural noises after
eating a meal.
If an Ignorant proves out
standing in the services ren
dered to the University, he
is justly rewarded by his
organization.

AWS is a crusader for more free
dom for campus women and we cheer
them for being radical.
We realize that the firmly-entrenched
concept of women's hours cannot be
whisked away overnight; and we suspect
that some vestigial traces of the concept
will remain longer than we do; but we en
courage AWS to continue their good
work.
Yet to be accomplished is the award
ing of 21-year-old coeds the right to live
off-campus if they so desire, or to be free
from 17-year-old restrictions if they de
sire to stay on campus.
Yet to be accomplished is a more
flexible system for overnights and a possi

during the week.
Yet to be accomplished is a strong
vote of commendation to those on AWS
who have made three good changes possi

Second Offensive
Yesterday on my way out
of philosophy I picked up a
paper from the box marked
Daily Nebraskan which
proudly displayed the title
of '"Barbarian Second
Most Offensive Paper On
Campus."
After expectations of
scandalous disclosure of a
masterpiece of smutty anal
ogies to campus life I was
very disappointed to find it
nothing more than nothing
at all.
The first essay seemed to
be trying to make fun of an
interview with Dr. Knoll
printed in the Daily Nebras
kan after he was named
Outstanding Nebraskan. But
the second essay seemed to
mak eno sense to me at all
(though any third grader
would readiy agree that it
was a cute story).

A Dog Barks
By Lee Marshall
The days when students
used a term like 'Stupid
Council' and meant it, seem
to be slowly passing away.
Under the guiding hand of
John Lydick, Council has
been taking progressive
steps, such as rewriting its
constitution, toward a bet
ter representation system
for the majority of the stu
dent body.
Council has also reacted
fairly sensibly to various
'crises', such as the resolu
tion on racial discrimination
and now, the discount card
hassle.
However, there has ap
peared throughout all of
this a group of representa
tives who do not seem to be
doing their best job to REP
RESENT the interests of
the students who elected
them to office.
In Wednesday's Council
meeting there were some
actions, which if they are
the true expressions of the
Arts & Sciences students, I
don't have much hope for
the Burnett crew.
Not to mention any
names, Susan Segrist should
inform herself' as to the
functions of various Coun
cil committees and the pur
poses for which they were
expressly created before she
tries to limit the powers of
the Judiciary Committee in
a simple motion.
She has also been on the
Council long enough to know
mmm
the second piece to me it
would be appreciated.
As far as I can see this
was a complete waste of
time, paper and ink on the
part of those students who
put it out . . . so, why did
they do it?
Perhaps they wanted
some journalistic exper
ience and enjoy writing . . .
but the Daily Nebraskan
seldom turns people away
and is much more authentic
(as far as being a news
paper). Maybe they find it excit
ing. I saw a track meet
last Saturday that was true
ly the most thrilling thing
I've seen since the Nebraska-Michigan
game.
Supposing this activity is
done for the exercise, may
I suggest they make a
snowman or maybe more
appropriately ... fly a kite.

that it does not deliberately
try to humiliate its own
members. Council is not try
ing to c r u c i f y anybody;
they are just trying to get
to the bottom of something
which has made them look
rather foolish.
John Cosier also seemed
to be forgetting the facts
when he made the rather
startling analogy between
the unknown discount card
profits and the business
staff of the Daily Nebras
kan who so secretly line
their pockets with untold
riches by selling ads for the
student newspaper.
Now if these representa
tives were just expressing
their own opinions I could
hardly find fault, as much
as I might disagree. But
when they try to get away
with representing 3.000 stu
dents in the manner exhib
ited Wednesday, it's time
for a change either in their
policies or in Arts & Scien
ces' representatives.

lost Meaning
Valentine's Day has lost
the meaning of love. Now it
is nothing, or a time to send
a corny, crass, 'contempor
ary' card.
In second century BC, on
Feb. 14, a Christian died a
marty's death. He later was
and the date of his deaht
came to be marked by re
ligious ceremony. In the
middle ages, this day lost
its more religious meaning,
and took on the aspect of a
special day for lovers, prop
ably because it was be
lieved that birds mated on
Feb. 14.
The tradition of Saint
Valentine's Day as a spe
cial day for lovers grew.
Gifts were exchanged and
horn e-made fancy, elabor
ately laced cards given,
carrying simple messages
such as: "True Love" and
"Be Mine" and "I Love
You."
With the invention of
printing, these cards could
be mass produced. Only re
cnetly, however, have these
greetings lost their sincer
ity. Now such messages as
"You look like a million dol
lars ... all green and
wrinkled" are found. The
sensitive has been replaced
by the sadistic.
Lovers have lost their
special day. For the col
legian its "just another
day."

The other day a man told
me that to be successful, a
good newspaper column
must be concerned with
"something important." Now
at first glance, this might
appear to be a rather indef
inite criteria. That is, there
seems to be a pretty large
number of topics that are
"important."
But what's important
here at this University? Or
better yet, what single fa
cet of this vast complex of
buildings, departments, tra
ditions, and people is most
essential to the success of
the University of Nebraska.
Is it the administration? The
faculty? The football team?
The "columns"? The stu
dent body?
No, I don't really think
its any of these things its
you. Whoever you may be,
chances are that since
you've picked up a copy of
the "Rag" it is your pres
ence here, your ideas, your
time, and in a more mater
ial sense, your money, that
when combined form the
true essence of the Univer
sity. As an individual you cre
ate and can therefore com
pletely control this little
world with the $132 admis
sion ticket. You've created
the "college life" and the
"fun" that can be had here
and deserve a great deal
of credit for your accom
plishments. However. I'm

ber of these were surprised to find blood had run down
into their own shoes from punctures they didn't know they
nad. The first casualty count was seven dead in the batta
lion and 43 wounded. A later count showed seven killed
and 103 hurt.
Inside, the dispensary looked like a Technicolor scene
out of "Gone With the Wind." Badly wounded men were
sprawled over every bit of floor and huddled on every
piece of furniture. Blood was pooled and splattered every
where and I kept slipping in it as I made my way through
barefooted.
Our boy had to give up his mattress because there
wasn't room for it. He didn't mind. I believe, at this point,
he had begun to believe he was going to make it after
all, and this turned out to be right 1 told him goodbye, he
smiled a trifle wanly, and I beaded back for the colonel's
but to get my pants.
I believe this was my worst time in the whole affair,
because it suddenly occurred to me that in my state of
undress I resembled a montagnard, local Vietnamese hill
billy, who runs around in shirttails and not much else.
This could lead to a misunderstanding in the dark with
an armed soldier on the alert for infiltrators, so every time
I passed one, I made a point of pretending to stumble,
then uttering a four-letter word in unmistageabJe Eng
lish. Back at the hut, I got dressed, found my camera and
sketchbook, and went out to cover the war like a gentle
man correspondent. At 2:35 a.m. the firing had stopped.
At 2:45, I heard a loud commotion at the front gate, angry
voices, and a shot. I never did learn what the shot was
about, but the ruckus was created by my son, Bruce, who
had come to save h's beloved helicopters and was having
trouble getting past the sentries.
Later, I watched him help direct operations as the
wounded were evacuated by air and told him he was doing
a fair job for a man who couldn't even get to his own
war on time. He told me to go to hell.

lowed some of the less plea
sant aspects of our environ
ment to survive too long un
corrected. Now its very probable
that you seriously doubt
that as one single person
you're quite as important or
powerful as I've said. But I
doubt it, not one single bit.
So in these little chats you
and I will be having each
week, the problems which
plague you and your Univer
sity and some of the pos
sible solutions to them is
going to be our main topic.
As this is being written,
there seems to be one par
ticular problem which is
currently overriding a 1 1
others. Unfortunately I ' m
afraid that it would take a
real "extremist" or at least
someone more radical than
myself to advocate some
sort of "glorious revolution"
to rectify the situation. Af
ter all, who can get very
excited about shoveling
snow?
Seriously though, I rather
like not going to class. At
times it almost seems that
only a few of these 50 min
ute excursions are particu
larly worthwhile. But be that
as it may, there is still quite
a lesson to be learned from
the current climatic condi
tions. The lesson very
simply is that our Univer

means invincible. A few sim
ple snowflakes has made
them "change their mind."
