MRA:
A Foot In The Door
The Moral Rearmament (MRA) people are trying to
bring a speaker to campus. 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.

Convinced By Shepard
Dear editor,
All right, Mr. Shepard,
you've convinced me (you
and the man who shot
Medgar Evers. the swell
guys who bomb churches
and club unarmed people
over the head). 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.

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

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. EMIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!:

By E.R.
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.
