Another March
A letter in the Campus Opinion today announces a
demonstration at 11 a.m. to protest this country's action
in the War of Viet Nam. Now the Daily Nebraskan, which
last week discouraged a march on the Statehouse to pro
test a tuition increase must give reserved approval and
encouragement to another march.
Our approval is reserved only because we are not
sure that the war indeed it is a war can be abruptly
terminated without the igniting of an even more tense
situation in the whole of Southeast Asia. The times have
forced us into the war and the times have kept us there.
But our support to the march is given because we
believe that the times which have forced us into this
atrocity are not necessarily acting in the best interests
of the human race. When we read that all men are
created equal and are entitled to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, we don't sometimes think of the
little scrawny yellow men as being part of "all men."
They are.
And modern warfare is tragic, ugly, sinful.
In the same line of thought, however, we find it a
bit difficult to believe that a guaranteed future of com
munism will bring Vietnamese posterity "life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness." We say this not on the
emotional condemnation of the word "communism," but
on the visible failing of the communist economic credo.
This is why our support is reserved.
On one hand we are thinking of a country, wanting it
to grow and prosper under the democracy we have
used. On the other, we think of the Vietnamese men and
women and children of today. Don't they have the right
to carry on normal lives without being fried? We frankly
don't know whether the present must be sacrificed for
the future or not. This is why our support is reserved.
But, for those among our readers whose support is
not reserved, we urge hearty and enthusiastic participa
tion in today's demonstration.

The New Guard
By Bob Weaver
Previously we have sug
gested that the university
is undergoing vast changes.
Much of this change is now
reaching society as a whole.
In fact it can be said that
the college community is
the crucible of society,
where new trends in thought
and behavior are born and
tested.
Students are looking at
themselves, their communi
ty and nation in an in
creased attitude of concern
for its problems and short
comings. Traditional cam
pus activities are undergo
ing tests of relevency none
the least of which is the
fraternity system.
Often the critics of Greek
living units pose the ques
tion of the relevency of the
fraternity system to the
university and its goals of
education, scholarship and
learning. This question has
been made more vital by
the increased importance of
a college degree, the moral
considerations involved in
the civil rights and other
social movements, the in
crease in knowledge and the
students concern for these
factors.
Needless to say, many of
these charges attributed to
the undergraduate greek let
ter society cannot be de
nied. In tliese da. of so
cial and educational change
it is of necessity that the
fraternity system across the
nation and at the University
of Nebraska constantly re
evaluate itself in the light
of these changes.
Besides certain housing
and feeding functions, the
central need of a fraternity
still remains: it is a place
where an individual may
identify, with a group and
establish and maintain a
circle of friends while an
undergraduate within a con
text of commonly held val
ues of integrity. This need
becomes more evident when
one considers the vastness
of today's modern multi
versity and its increasing
impersonal institutionalism.
Immediately the question
of undo and forced conform
ity arises. Conformity in
ideas other than the need
for integrity is unwarranted
and cannot be justified by
the values of the fraternity.
Fraternalists must stand
ready to delete any attempt
to censor behavior beyond
this point. It H unfortunate
that the National Panhellen
1c Council continues to stif
fie the participation of un

dergraduate' sorority mem
bers in discussions involv
ing questions of civil rights.
It is equally unfortunate
that pledge training among
fraternities and sororities,
consciously or not, seeks to
continue an insentiveness to
equal opportunity in fra
ternity membership regard
less of color.
Fraternity pledge training
remains by and large soph
moric. Archaic and inde
cent practices are still car
ried on in the spirit of fun
and unity (an illusive term
at best.) It is to be serious
ly questioned whether the
degree of unity which is
sought is ever or should
ever be achieved. There are
far better ways of achiev
ing this end through actual
practice.
To incoming freshmen,
fraternity pledge scholar
ship programs have been
dismal failures. For at least
the past four years, 50 per
cent of all pledges have
failed to attain a 5.000 for
their first semester in resi
dence as a fraternity mem
ber. This is an appalling
record in light of the fact
that for the past two years,
fraternity pledges have been
required to be in the t o p
half of their high school
graduating class. We may
conclude that for at least
half of all pledges, frater
nity life and its time con
suming requirements, is a
barrier to a successful ini
tial scholastic performance.
The removal of this barrier
is long overdue. The central
objective of any pledge pro
gram is scholastic adjust
ment to the university and
an emphasis on the desire
to learn. The least a fra
ternity can do is not to hin
der this objective.

The House Un-American Activities committee will

over the Klan will investigate the committee.
One question still remains about the Civil Rights Bill
to let Negroes vote in the South: Who's going to do the
counting?
You can say one thing for the Alabama system, though.
By the time a Negro is registered, there's no doubt about
his being old enough to vote.
The tuition increase here really isn't so bad. We may
lose some out-of-state students, but so what! Nebraska is
self-sufficient; who cares what the rest of the world is do

MR. G. HAWKINS

Poii's Focts
By Gale Pokorny
As the grass turns green and the sun gets warmer
another great Cornhusker hunting season draws to a close.
The mighty hunter sighs and sadly looks forward to a
long summer that will deny him the thrill of the hunt,
the exhilaration of the chase and the lift in spirits that
accompanies the sighting of the quarry.
But there's still more. Nothing in this world parallels
the moment when the hunter ends the hunt. Visions of
the mighty conquerors flood his brain and he pictures
himself sword in hand, looking over his vast domain,
he has just got himself a genuine Nebraska University
City Campus Parking place.
Several hunters have been known to drag this rare
species down to the local taxidermist to have it immorta
lized as the proud prize it is. To the N.U. safari hunter,
this trophy deserves the best spot in his den, and why
not, it was the hardest to come by. It took more than
twice the time and energy to nail this type of Parking
Place than it did for the N.U. hunter to bag the next
most cherished trophy in his collection, a perfectly pre
served Greek caught wearing white socks and no Madras
shirt.
(The proud owner of this little treasure has just
continued a nation wide sweep of all the carnivals and
come up with a tidy profit. A letter to Ripley however,
went unanswered. )
It took more than three times the energy and effort
put forth when he acquired his third most valuable ob
ject, the dairy of the girl for whom the fourth column
was built by the stadium. (I don't know what's so great
about the book; frankly it's a drag.)
Parking Place safaries can be expensive or inex
pensive depending on how determined you are to get a
trophy. The hunting license is relatively cheap as it only
costs five dollars. Unlike other licenses that you put in
your billfold or staple to your hat, this license must be
conspicuously displayed on your auto. This is another
unusual feature, because again unlike other types of hunt
ing which prohibit road hunting, this type not only con
dones it, it demands it.
The most expensive part of the safari is the auto.
If you want a trophy, you've just got to have a fast little
mover or some other hunter, will beat you to the kill.
For the beginner, I would recommend a Mustang with
re-enforced steel beam bumpers to discourage your
aggressive fellow hunters. For the more serious collec
tor, I suggest an Austin Healy 3000 with James Bond
wheels, (machine guns optional). It's a winner.
Of course if you're the lazy type and you lack the
ambition to venture into the jungle, you may acquire
your trophy the easy way. For a small fee, the local
wardens will allow you to hunt in the official game pre
serve located across the street south of Bancroft Hall.
If you are one of the IN crowd among "the campus
Aristocracy, you really have it made. You don't have
to pay game preserve fees and your preserve is ultra
private with a guaranteed bag of at least one. You don't
have to fight for a" trophy with the rest of the com
moners. Mothers tell their little sons to study hard at
school so they might some day be one of the SELECT.
Actually the whole thing is an incentive to American edu
cation. But Cornhuskers arise. Overhunting has set in. The
terrible fact is there are just too many hunters for the
number of the Parking Place species running around.
The next time you see one of the gray uniformed game
wardens, walk up to him and explain this theory of over
hunting. (A handy diagram might help.) If this doesn't
work, get together and circulate a petition and present
it to Game Commissioner Hardin.
