Sign Thieves Warned
The recent arrest of two University students brought
to light a commonly accepted breach of law practiced by
many members of the University community.
The art of sign stealing, no matter how petty it may
seem, is a crime deemed a misdemeanor or in some cases
a felony.
In legal statutes, the term "prank" does not exist;
this fact must be impressed on the potential "sign steal
ers". Not only does the sign thief, unfortunate enough to
oe arrested, receive a heavy fine or jail term, but a crim
inal record which must be borne the rest of the person's
life. A man or woman, regardless of the amount of their
education, may find it extremely difficult in obtaining the
high level job which an unconvicted person might easily
gain.
May we suggest that sign thieves think twice and
consider the possible consequences involved. It's vour fu
ture. STUDENT TRIBUNAL
Does Any One Care?
Two weeks ago PanHellenic President "elect" Diane
Michel contacted us, asking for a Daily Nebraskan re
porter at PanHellenic meetings. Realizing that we had
overlooked this area when planning our news coverage,
we arranged to send a reporter to each Monday's Pan
Hel meeting.
Monday, when our reporter attended her first meet
ing, she was informed that PanHel would meet in "ex
ecutive session." This apparently means that no one save
PanHel members are allowed o hear what goes on in
parts of the meeting.
Other campus organizations have been known to call
"executive sessions" on occasion, too, usually when they
feel that they are discussing a problem that would "be
better unprinted." such as discrimination, drinking, etc.
Realizing that anything we say personally about this
problem and we consider it a very grave problem will
immediately be construed by many narrow minds as an
attack against the Greek system, we revisit an editorial
by Gary Lacey Delta Tau Delta) in the Daily Nebraskan
of Dec. 6, 1963:
"At the Interfraternity Council meeting last night the
Daily Nebraskan reporter and all unofficial observers
were asked to leave. J. Winston Martin, associate dean f
Student Affairs, spoke on the incident, When a reporter is
asked to leave a meeting of people who represent us.
every fraternity member is. in essence, being denied his
right to know.
"I wonder where the blame lies.
"I wonder w ho cares.
ot know ing, however, w e t an guess tbe i a tilt does
not lie with the students."
We. too are wondeiing who cares. Do the Greeks of
this campus care enough about what goes on in their rul
ing bodies to protest this NEWS MANAGEMENT? We
would like to know.
If not, we probably should apply for a job on the IFC
and PanHel publicity committees, to be sure our report
ing is done just the way they want it. FRANK PARTSCH

'Reds Will Bury America
Without Open Fighting'
By Jeannie Langford
The Communists control
over a quarter of the world.
If they have told us that
they will destroy us, do you
not suppose they mean it?
They have promised that
they will not take us by
force, but by a quiet sub
version and undermining
will condition us so we may
be taken without open agres
sion. Pink has crept into
nearly every phase of edu
cation, communication, and
entertainment.
Unfortunately today's
"vogue" is to develop the
pseudo-intellectual approach
of the supposed realist and
criticize any move to in
vestigate or prosecute of
fenders (who are working
for the communist cause).
Let me cite for you an ex
ample which the Gadfly al
so discussed in its March
23 issue: on March 17 two
films w ere shown in the Un
ion auditorium.
One was "Operation Abo
lition" which I had been ac
quainted with previously.
Spliced to and following
"Operation Abolition" was
a film called "Operation
Correction." The former
film was a product of the
House Un-American Activi
ties Committee HUAC and
"Correction" was a result
of the work of the Northern
California branch of the
American Civil Liberties
Union.
"Operation Abolition" was
simply a filming of some
incidents which took place
in May of 1960. in San
Francisco during the hear
ings of HUAC. Its purpose
was only to drive home two
basic points: 1) Communist
dupes people who unknow
ingly are being used to
further the Communist
cause) do exist, and 2) Com
munists do utilize mob situ
ations lo further their goals.
"Operation Correction"
called HUAC a liar, saving
that facts had been distort
ed, the sequence of events
was incorrect and that, in
general, the film "Opera
tion Abolition" was fallaci
ous. "Operation Abolition",
granted, lacks the Holly
wood touch, but was not
created to give a history of
the San Francisco riots.
However, the audience at
the films sympathized with
"Operation Correction",
agreeing that bv devious
methods HUAC had labeled
better jportweor . . .
all present at the riots Com
munist dupes or sympathiz
ers. The discussion following
the two films took some in
teresting turns.
The general opinions
(which I learned by asking
for a show of hands) were
well expressed by Michael
Richter of the Gadfly. (Keep
in mind here that HUAC
was created in 1945 by the
79th Congress to investigate
the activities of the Com
munist Party in the United
States. It drew popularity
immediately when former
State Department official,
Alger Hiss, was denounced
as a communist spy by
Whittaker Chambers. The
famous case brought us to
a realization that commu
nism has its subversive fin
gers everywhere).
HUAC is no good who
are they to decide who is
un-American?
Incidentally, the audience
at the films was amused
when I suggested our h i s
torical documents like the
Declaration of Independ
ence, Constituion. Bill of
Rights, were perhaps gen
eral criteria for making
such decisions. Everyone in
terprets these differently,
they told me, so how can
they be used as any sort
of basis? Therefore. HUAC
was dubbed un-constituion-al
since no committee has
the right to decide who is
un-American.
Michael Richter defines
Americans as "either peo
ple born in this country or
naturalized citizens." Mr.
Richter also sees "no reason
why a Communist (or a Fa
cist) should not be consid
ered an American, nor any
justification for a commit
tee that investigates un
American activities, in this
land of the brave and the
free."
Remembering that HUAC
is an organization born by
our own Congress, some
thing which we created and
supposedly uphold, would
you prefer to side with the
opposition? Have we be
come so apathetic or blind
that we will criticize and
destroy toe few attempts
made to counteract our ene
my's tactics? I hope not.
We know that when the
Communists say they will
destroy us and consider
the percentage of tbe world
already controlled) they in
deed intend to do just that.
