Coed Living
Yep, verybody's got problemC Pick Gregory said.
Nothing he said that day in the Nebraska Union ballroom
could have been more true.
The University has the fiscal fiasco, the coeds Siav
Snyder's snipers, the Greeks have Mohichan motions, 16th
Street has tunnel trouble. What of the independents, or,
more specifically, what of the dermics?
They probably have the worst problems of all. Imag
ine a twelve-story pile of rooms, closely resembling hon
eycomb, full of exberant human beings searching for
identity. This search for identity. University administra
tors tell us, is the motivating factor behind many student
actions and trend.
The non-affilaatod student has remained a self-imposed
atcast from most aH-student activities part of this be
cause most of his fellow residents were likewise outcasts
nd part of it because he dung to an outmoded label, "in
dependence."' Hiding behind this excuse for non-interest,
these students have evolved into one large voiceless mass
of humanity.
Objections to this must necessarily be (qualified. It is
narrow to say that University condoned student activities
r the only way to supplement one's education; and it is
unfairly labeling these individuals to sling the term
4.fc1ihy1'' at them Mke a water balloon. But, we are sure,
many of these students are ianinvolved because they are
ot informed oh, yes, they know what the .group does
and when it meets and how to join it, but they donl know
what it's for, what it could do for them.
SeHeck Quadrangle and its Residence Association for
Men (SAM, which we hope will be changed next year when
more women become part of the organization is starting
to move. The stronger house concept has injected some
interest into the mdividuals, and the remnants of the strong
executive council have been able to channel this interest
inta as overall stream of building enthusiasm.
Cather EaU, with its Gather Hal Association f or Resi
dent Men KCHARM, Which we hope win be changed FAST, .
because mo women are part of the organization ) has a re
markably weak central "organization, which we hope the
residents will want to strengthen soon, CHARM is mew,
but while it struggles for- a JhaHwide campus identity the
iron might cool
Perhaps the problem is in the definition of coed living.
RAM has coed living, with men and coeds working togeth
er in the same omit. We would be more inclined to say
that CHARM and Pound Ha! are peacefully coexisting.,
with coed eating at the very most. While a Mason exists
pennantly within RAM between al residents, it is Heft to
the occasional and often erratic Judgment of the Cather
bouse .social chairmen to find, establish and maintain a re
lationship with any Pound house interested.
The problem, as we see it, is not at the bottom, it is at
the top. We, both personalty and editorially, favor a gov
ernment im Cather and Pound that corresponds to the RAM
rganization to Vhich coordinating becomes planning and
coexistence becomes coed living.

Dear editor,
Mr. Wiley, in his letter ! "

that (Others Hike him are

Dear editor,
The column in Friday's
Daily Neh-asfcan presented
a most rCi,,el view of so
cial change. The critic Mr.
Barton quotes seems to feel
that Hie civil rights move
ment is a very naive, poor
ly done movement.
Why? Well it doesn't go
beyond the store front. That
is, it hasn't solved the social
problems the South will
have wice the Negro is
marching on the factory in
stead of the courthouse, "
To picture Mr, Barton and
his critic standing next to
Patrick Henry and Sam Ad
ams is most illuminating.
Patrick Henry: "Give me
liberty or give me death,"
Mr, Barton and critic:
"That's all very well to say,
Patrick? but you forget the
grave problems independ
ence will bring.
"A constitution roust be
written," trade difficulties
will have to be provided for,
communications among the
colonies must be improved
and so on, ad infmitiara,"
Crumpets, not donuls,
would be served in the Un
ion now, if men like these
had prevailed then; and if
these men prevail today,
violence not non-violence
will be served up in Selma,

lost SouJs' Movement
Dear editor.
In the past few years, we
have seen the growth of a
cross-section of stucienis la
beled colloquially as ""beat
niks."" You knew, they are
the individuals who general
ly sit in the comer of the
Crib doing ewrything as
differently as possible.
Also in the past few years,
these individuals have found
a noble purpose a way to
act different toward a shin
ing humanitarian -goal. They
have adopted the Move
ment Many in this Nebraska
f a c tt i b haw identified
themselves with Friends .of
SXCC. to fact with few
exceptions. SX'CC here on
campus consists mainly e(f
these Lost Souls. Most stu
dents have spurned thoughts
of participating in the CrriJ
Eights movement because,
this is the sort of thing that
the ""kooks"" can take care
of.
I suspect that most Uni
versity students mraald ust
as soon mumble their
sympathies in bull sessions
than associate with the beat
niks, who are indeed juite
strange:
Xor is this a local phe
nomenon, At voter registra
tion projects, in many cM
rights groups, along many
picket lines the featnfks.
the konks or the Lost Souls
comprise a " majority a II 11
ovr the country. I womld
imagine that beards, shabby
dress, dirty fingernails,
shaggy hair and the main
requisite, a psendointellecl
aalism win become symbols
of white participation in the
M ovement. Ht is tots bad.
Where are a! those stu
dent Headers'? Where, in
fact, are those concerned

Tomorrow the Nebraska
Unicameral will give us an
example of northern bigot
ry. They will defer, table
or defeat the Fair Housing
Bill. But let us talk about
something closer to home;
off-campus housing for Ne
gro students.
In the GUIDE TO STU
DENT HOUSING put out
by the university it says:
"One of the first. Important
decisions you will make at
the University of Nebraska
win be the selection of a
place to live," For the Ne
gro student it is not a ques
tion of selection but one of
finding a landlord who will
rent to him. That, is the
most important problem be
will face at this university.
Last September my wife
was .given a listing of apart
ments that were available
to students. None would
rent to Negroes, Last week
I went to the Student Hous
ing Office and again was
given a list of places that
were renting to students;
none would accept Negroes,
The comments I received
from the landlords were
absurd, ""No I don "I rent to
Negroes because they smell
different, drink and cot
each other with razors". ""I
don't want riots in my
house"". I went out to see
one place Cdidnl tell him
that I was black)) and the
landlord shook his head say
ing no. He pointed to his
nice front yard and said ""iff
I rented to you, why next
week there would be thirty
Negroes out there having a
bar-b-cue".
On the form listing avail
able apartments under the
remarks section, there is an
asterisk; if it is circled the
landlord will rent to Ne
groes, This is how the ad
ministration maintains the
status quo.
The number of apartments
in Lincoln av ailable to Ne
groes are few. There is a
fierce competition between
Negro citiiens of Lincoln,
Negro Air Force personnel
and Negro students. Because
of this competition landlords
renting to Negroes can
charge more than the actu
al worth of the apartment
E,g, a fourroom apartment,
unfurnished renting for $39
plus utilities.
The administration speaks
of approved housing, which
has the connotation of main
taining a kind of moral
standards. However they
have ignored a question of
morality by approving off
campus housing that discri
minates. The administration has ig
nored its responsibilities and
it is up to the student body
to act. By acting I am not
-necessarily speaking of dem
onstrations, I think the Stu
dent Council, as voice of the
student body, should speak
first.
I understand that this af
ternoon such a proposal for
ijon-disciminatory off-campus
housing will be made by
the Student Council. Let us
hope that it does cot meet
the same fate the Fair Hous
ing bill will meet tomorrow.
