His name is John Sayre, dis tinguished athlete, popular speaker and director of ath letics for last year's MRA conference in Michigan. He has been accepted and cheered across the country, by some of the most vicious college audiences. In the past, including this year, MRA hasn't attracted much attention on this campus. We, in our lack of ac auaintance with the subject, are not too excited about it ourselves. But we do respect the movement, for we recog nize that it is about time that man shaped up, individually and collectively, to meet a few moral and intellectual challenges. Here, at least, are people trying to do this. And for this reason, we believe that we would like to listen to Mr. Sayre's speech. Like all the MRA workers, however, Sayre donates his time, and must have $250 to defer living expenses for his w ife and family during this donation. The Nebraska Union occasionally co-sponsors spur-of-the-moment speakers with interested departments and organizations, and will coop erate with Sayre if someone is found to co-sponsor him. We would like to see this happen, for. as a MRA repre sentative told, us Saturday, "We thinlf he has something to say." We have come to believe that, even in these All-University Convocation-less days, listening to differences of opinion and stimulating or self-inspired speakers are an important part of everyone's education. The Union has taken significant steps in filling what we think is a vacuum at this University, through their own program, which in cluded such well-received speakers as John Howard Griffin and Dick Gregory. We must realize that their funds are limited. We think that most students, whether they agree or not with MRA, would be interested in hearing Mr. Sayre. and we urge any interested departments or organizations to contact the Union, the Daily Nebraskan or the MRA people and offer their support to this speaker. TO THE MEMBERS OF KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNI TY: We are not sure if your window display was commend able or condemnable, but we hope it impressed the par ents, teachers and high school students who visited the campus over the weekend. It certainly did not impress us.

I'll join Friends of SNCC. I've al ready given my money to the cause and now I'll give my precious time. I'll walk with you in your fruitless marches in front of the blind eyes of the U.S. Post Office in Lincoln (of all places), Nebraska. And what will that get me? Well, a lot of nice things things I'd like to have. For in stance, it will deliver me from being called apathetic and bigoted by justly bitter columnists; it will inform the right people that I am a good guy. Because, you know, (and you do know, don't you Mr. Shepard) that where you and I should both be is in Selma Alabama. But we are not there perhaps because we are cowards, perhaps because we are committed to families and friends in Lincoln; probably because our commitment makes us afraid, makes us narrow our concern to one group of people rather than to a 1 1 people. You see, 1 do realize what my commitment should be, so I will lull the guilty, rasping voice within me in to a self-satisfied purr ''I'm a good guy a friend of SNCC." When I march, whom do I impress? Nobo dy but those who are al ready for the cause those who already know why I'm marching. And what am I getting the people of Selma, Ala? Nothing, nothing at all. At tention? They can get their own attention I've never been clubbed on the head for my beliefs. But as I've said, I'll join you, although you had better not let me , in unless you are able to tell ' me why, if things are so ; bad here as implied, we j aren't demonstrating for' the people of Lincoln. Why aren't we picketing i the segregated barbershops, j beer joints, hotels, cafes- or more importantly w h y j aren t we picketing the real tors, that brave band of protectors of the Lincoln status quo? Has the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce been made painfully aware of our problem? I hope you have some answers to these questions, because by your next meet ing you are going to have a member who wants to know. Patsy Campbell Call To Dear Editor; The article "Phase IV," by Blacksheep, is one of the most masterly written calls to action ever pub lished. It has given stu dents of this University de termination to take action to correct the gross mis justices that have disturbed them for so long. By direct action now and. with the knowledge of our. position and responsibility in America, this nation. Rest In Dear editor. An incident that happened this past week makes me sick. The incident that I mean is the moving of the body of a one-month-old Ne gro baby from an all-white section of Wyuka Cemetery to an all-Negro section. How stupid and trivial can we get? We claim that the people in Nebraska are not overly race-conscious and yet something like this turns up. The excuse that was used for moving the body was that the cemetery officials thought that the family would be happier with the grave in a section where there is a heavier concen tration of Negro graves. This fact was brought out in the Lincoln Star of 13 March and I quote: "(Wyuka Cemetery Board Chairman William) Gross man pointed out that the cemetery does not restrict burial areas as to race, but noted that the Negroes usually buy plots where their friends and relatives are buried, which has re sulted in a negro-concentrated area." Is it that the Negroes want to buy their plots in this "Negro" section or that they're allowed to buy them COMMUNITY CONCERT MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN Membership Drive: March 1-20 Coil of Membership., Adults .

We must take action! Blacksheep's word is our command! But what would he have us do? Whitesheep Peace ONLY in this section? And finally, to add insult to injury, the parents were not even informed of t h i s change. The cemetery offici als excused themselves by blaming the officials of the mortuary, while the morti cians blamed those at the cemetery. Who was right? I say that both were wrong. We were all created equally in the eyes of God, so since many of us claim to be Christians', why can't we let the dead rest in peace?

THE WHITE MAN'S BUWEM present ttie negative argu- mcnt later in the week. By Sheryl Etling The topic being debated by colleges and universities this year is "Resolved: That t h e Federal Government should establish a National Program of Public Work for the Unemployed." This na tional topic was selected by the American Forensic As sociation. In debating this, or any other topic, an affirmative team has certain duties. The team upholding the question must present some need is sues, show why the present system is inherently unable to solve those problems, and then present a plan which will meet the needs pre sented. Issues this year have cen tered in two areas. First, there is a need for public work projects in such areas as urban renewal, conser vation, and the erection of public service facilities. The second need area is unemployment. While general unemploy ment has been decreasing recently, there are some chronic problem areas such as the long-term unem ployed, heads of families, older workers, youths, Ne groes, and the unskilled. When viewing the present system in relation to the need issues presented, af firmative teams find that all three major areas of ac tion are failing to meet the problems of unemployment. The competitive business sector of the economy, even with the aid of tax cuts, will not be able to expand rapid ly enough in 1965 to keep up with the increase in the la bor force. The problem is one of creating enough jobs to pro vide employment for new workers and for those who are currently unemployed. State and local govern ments do not have the re sources to carry the burden & L will present It stunning ftohsme In Enellsh with ox- alone, and Federal Govern ment programs, mainly re training efforts, have seri ous shortcomings. Some unemployed are not retralhable. while still oth ers find themselves unable to find jobs once they have acquired a skill. Most affirmative teams recognize, however, that re training should be made available to those who can be 'oenefited by it. There fore, affirmative plans pro vide for the continuance of these programs. They go one stey further, however, for they call for public work to be made available for trainees in a work-study program, f o r non-restrainables, and for those who have skills but still cannot find work. Thus the affirmative maintains that since both unemployment and the need for public works remain as significant national p r o b lems, the obvious solution is one of a national program of public work for the un employed.

Once there was a g r e t bookless playground, which charged farmer-children money to come and take ad vantage of its facilities. The childrren came and were very happy, because they were all poor and their poverty bred friendship (this was before the days of ways against wars against friendship.) And it came to pass that the children grew up, and they begat others, whom they also sent to enjoy the facilities which their par ents had known. Their par ents had accumulated many sheckels in the meantime. In looking for a way to re lieve their parents of their excess sheckels, one group of students banded to gether to form an exclu sive organization. And a 1 1 was well and good. This was before the days of the ill-fated Duchess and Butch, who delighted the playground with their antics several generations later, but this little group of s h e c k e 1-relievers decided anyway that they should have a mascot. They came up with a rather novel idea (it wasn't really novel as far as ideas go, but it was one of the first ideas they had so the y called it novel) of sending to Sherpasberg for an abominable snowman. Finally the days for the snowman to be delivered were accomplished, and, lo and behold, when the stage coach (conservatism) pull ed up and deposited a large crate beside the water hole, they tore open the crate to greet their new mascot. Surprise strike me to the end of my days . . .Sher pasberg, caught in t h e throes of an unprecedented demand for the snowmen (J. Ghetto Getty, father of his son, was one of the prime demanders of this oddity) had nothing 1 e f t in stock but a vicious albino, with long white claws. Which they named him.

(He went on to in vent hot chocolate, and was sentenced to five years in the State Pen for refusing to move away from the Rosebud Indian Reserva tion.) But I digress. Whitey (as he was affectionately known by his enemies) created so much resentment by spit ting and thumbing his nose at all the other mascots that the playground warden had him shipped away to the pen to join his friend, the milkman. (For convenience, there were other mascots by this point in the narrative.) And the last heard of eith er Whitey or the milkman (you might be interested in knowing that his name was J.
