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 recoTd 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 your fu ture. STUDENT TRIBUNAL iitf if Apia 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 to 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 Garv Lacey (Delta Tau Delta) in the Daily Nebraskan of Dec. 6, 1963: "At tbe Interfraternity Council meeting last night the Daily Nebraskan reporter and all unofficial observers were asked to leave. J. Winston Martin, associate dean of 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 who cares. "Not knowing, however, we can guess the fault does not lie w ith 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' Dear Frank, Now the verbal tide has receded; the four roaring sea lions have returned to the Deep after protesting an alien in their midst. Rogers, Briner, Richter and Yates were wounded by a letter set to test them. The beatnik-type asides were scrutinized and the larger points missed. Their Dear editor, What is the purpose of the manager of the Nebraska Union? Is it his job to see that the student benefits from this service or to make Dear Editor, "Math Counseling To Pro vide Help." This heads a short note in the DAILY NEBRASKAN dated March 25. The Department of Mathematics and the math majors supporting this pro gram should be applauded publicly. This is a service wiLh high educational signi ficance. But I'm concerned. Un less I misread the notice, the people providing this service are described as "counselors . . . selected on the basis of excellence . . . in mathematics." Their functions are ". . . to an swer specific questions from students relating to mathe matics." They sound like tu- Dear Editor, I was a $6.50 victim of the "Mancini Farce" that took place Friday. I paid $6.50 to see Henry Mancini and "his" 40 piece orchestra, not Henry Man cini and "a" 40 piece or chestra. There is a real dif ference, which I discovered too late. The drummer was out of it most of the eve ning, the solo trumpet play- Tie Tide Has Receded answers indicated an atti tude prevalent with many civil rights enthusiasts namely a peculiar narrow- mindedness, a sense of val ues drowned in emotion. I have registered Negro voters in North Carolina, I have always argued and practiced equal rights and I will march for a cause with practical application. What Is His Purpose? an economic profit? The latter seems to be his purpose because the stu dents certainly cannot bene fit when the quality of the food remains the same and Who Is A Counselor? tors or teachers or instruct ors to me not counselors. Who, then, is a counselor? Within the city of Lincoln, including the University community, I've been able to identify people who call themselves "program coun selors," "coed counselors," "residence hall counselors." "college counselors," "guid ance counselors," "legal counselors." "psychological counselors." 'marriage counselors." "pastoral coun selors," "junior division counselors," "family life counselor s," "insur ance counselors." "invest ment counselors." "real es tate counselors," "mortgage loan counselors." yes, even Mancini 'Farce' Hurts er often faded "complete ly" and the closing bars of the "Peter Gunn theme" were atrocious. Not to mention a comedi an who was on too Ion g, who completely lacked tal ent, and who did not even have the courtesy to take a closing bow to the audi ence. I was not the only victim of this. I do not Apparently it is necessary that I broadcast my allegi ance. As of last week, I am an inferred Bircher, a near-racist, a person who does not understand the Movement and I have a warped sense of values. The commentary on cam pus civil rights advocates is complete. H. Michael Rood the quantity decreases. The Ag Union possesses some excellent cooks; per haps if the decision were left to them the student would benefit. A. C. . "funeral counselors." And now "math counselors." And I'm sure my list is in complete. Who, then, is a counsel or? Evidently anyone who is a bit diffident about de fining his real functions feels he gains status (or hides his motives) by calling him self a counselor. If we just wait long enough, and the trend continues, the world will be made up of special ized sorts of counselors who make their social contribu tions by counseling every body else. Don't say I didn't warn you. Clay Gerken, Director University Counseling Service want my $6.50 back, be cause I imagine it has al ready been squeezed to death. However, I do feel that the Student Union activi ties owes us an apology for not honestly presenting the attraction and an assurance that such practices will not continue! T. E. J.

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 were 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 to further their goals. "Operation Correction" called HUAC a liar, saying 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 by devious methods HUAC had labeled 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 iwhich 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 the 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 the world already controlled I they in deed intend to do just that. ,,, ,''. ft Vf& ,: We ore openinq n r Wl it.
