To iesolve Problem
From past experience
with the Nebraska legisla
ture, university students
should realize that pressur
ing the state senators will
produce no results.
Last year students' at
tempts to stop an increase
in tuition were almost com
petely ignored. Perhaps in
view of the present state
taxing procedure and the
University's need for money
the pleas had to be ignored.
But the proposition remains
strong that most students
are not yet tax paying citi
zens of our state and there
fore do not rate the atten
tion of the elected elite.
Because of last year's ex
perience, the resolution to
study the drinking problem
on the campus and in the
state, which was brought be
fore Student Senate Wednes
day, should be carefully
scrutinized. Pressure, if ex
tended in the wrong direc
tion, could do more harm
than good.
Simply stated, many state
senators would balk at the
reliability of a state poll
conducted by University of
Nebraska students which
revealed that a majority of
the people believed the
drinking law should be re
visedor that it should not
be revised.
The suggestion that still
another committee be
created by Student Senate to
carry out an investigation of
the problem needs even
more careful scrutiny.
It appears that the Sena
tors are already bogged
down by too many commit
tees. The final minutes of
a senate meeting (as chair

Dear Editor:
As a general practice, I
don't get too upset about
letters that appear in the
Daily Nebraskan, but sud
denly I feel compelled to de
fend Dr. David Trask of the
history department.
Admittedly, he has made
statements recently with
which I cannot agree and
which do not cause me to
have much respect for his
ideas.
However, I do feel that we
must respect his right to
these ideas and also his
right to speak out on them.
I don't know Dr. Trask ex
cept as my history lecturer,
but he appears to me to be
the type of person who
would love to get some stu
dent somewhere in this univ
ersity to speak out, or dem
onstrate in some othe" way,
a personal belief or feeling.
He seems to be taking it
upon himself to probe on the
apathetic minds of students
by striking out on issues
that should be important to
them.
Unfortunately, his recent
remarks have initiated what
I feel to be wrong attitudes.
Many of those who have re
plied through this newspaper
and verbally nave been re
futing the man rather than
his statements. It seems to
me that the way to refute
Where Ethics?
Dear Editor:
Tonight my faith in the
ethics of the student body
was greatly jarred.
As I stood waiting for
my ASUN' Associates meet
ing to begin at the Union
I became aware of the fact
that I was the only one pres
ent clutching an umbrella.
Looking around I spotted a
coat rack.
Feeling pleased with my
self for discovering it, and
a little irritated with my
mother for instilling in me
the need to always carry an
umbrella, I carefully placed
it there.
You can imagine how I
felt when I returned to find
It gone. It's not only the fact
that yellow Is my favorite
color, nor that I dearly need
an umbrella but this yel
low umbrella was a gift
from my little brother.
Please, whoever took it, put
my umbrella back!

have become the most im
portant part of the Senate
session. Another committee
is not the solution.
A study of the drinking
problem could be made
corporately by several of
the senate and executive
committees. The student
welfare committee as well
as the public issues, student
opinion and public relations
committees might be in
volved. Seeking a solution to the
drinking problem is in the
hands of ASUN. IFC has
very nicely, with an 18-4
vote indicated that the fra
ternities and IFC will not
be a part of the breaking of
the law only the individ
uals will be penalized - if
they choose to continue
breaking the law.
We had been under the
assumption that the in
dividual members of the
fraternity were indeed the
fraternity.
Perhaps the passing of
the amendment is a solution
for IFC and the "member
fraternities," but it is net
the answer for Joe College
at the University of Nebras
ka. A careful study of the
problem by ASUN and in
telligent, realistic recom
mendations would be wel
comed by not only students,
but also administrators,
parents, law enforcement
officers and all the folks
back home. If the preceding
groups found the ASUN
analysis helpful then so
would our state senators.
MARILYN HOEGEMEYER
His Ideas
his statements would be to
gather information on the
subject under discussion
(rather than on the man
himself) and to show logi
cally how his views can not
be accepted.
Another thing, I am sorry
to hear that there is at least
one student here who
suggests that Dr. Trask be
fired. My disappointment
comes on two differennt
counts.
First of all, it seems a
shame that just"because a
faculty member has the
courage to make a few
"revolutionary" remarks,
we should immediately try
to get rid of him. Dr. Trask
seems to be accomplishing,
to some extent, the impos
siblethat is, he is stirring
up interest on the part of a
few students in what's going
on around this university
and the nation. Is that bad?
The second reason I am
disappointed is that Dr.
Trask is the only instructor
I've had who makes me
feel like he cares about me
as a student. He may not
really be concerned, but
his method of grading
exams and of teaching us
how to take them gives me
the feeling that he cares.
And that's the feeling we're
all seeking, isn't it?
So since Dr. Trask is a
"concerned faculty mem
ber," it might b? wise for
us to limit our arguements
against his words to the
statements themselves, not
to the man.
Sincerely.

Right Alums?
Dear Editor:
It is wonderful that the
alums of some fraternity
feel so strongly about the
drinking problem on our
campus. Who do they think
they are kidding? To not al
low alcohol in the frater
nity house, or to not have
alcohol parties in which liv
ing units participate is
just about as senseless as
enforcing LAWS that say no
one may drink at the Ne
braska football games.
Right alums?
Let's call a spade a spade.
What we really want to say
is "yes we want drinking to
be against the rules, and
yes we are going right ahead
and drink." Let's admit the
facts. The university has a
large percentage of students
who are minors, who drink
alcoholic beverages both on
and off of state property.
How hypocritical to have a
bunch of alums, who "booze
it" at every home game,
bring the drinking problem
to our attention.
It is so painfully obvious
that we the University, since
the students are the Uni
versity, do want drinking to
be allowed, that I'm disap
pointed in our progressive
"administrators," whoever
they might turn out to be,
for not having thought of a
better solution than shoving
the problem under a rug of
apathy towards a situation
that they know darn well
exists.

On Migration
Dear Editor:
If migration is unofficial,
why does the University
have to know where every
one will be staying? They
don't on any other weekend.

Someone tells us that he
has the registration num
ber of the plane that towed
the Welcome TNE Alums
sign over the stadium at the
game, and that action
should be taken to discover
who had the sign made. In
view of its recent actions,
we feel that the job would
be perfect for IFC.
Incidentally, Betas, don't
sweat the small stuff.

Open letter to Faculty Sen

the revision of the Thanks
giving vacation is most
certainly appreciated by
those people planning to stay
here for the football game,
but how about those who
are not planning to attend
because of great distances
between Lincoln and their
hometowns. Do they ap
preciate having to attend
classes until 3 or 4:30 p.m.
on Wednesday and then
having to drive all night to
be home for Thanksgiving.
I, for one, do not.
I can understand the ex
tra day will benefit those
who are leaving after the
game and would otherwise
have a very short time
at home before returning
to the campus, but why dis
criminate against those who
prefer homecooking to -football
and need that day for
driving.

By Roger A. Elm
Buried somewhere In the
dusty remnants of last year's
student government are the
council's reports on civil
rights and discrimination.
Buried with them is the
civil rights committee,
apparently of no concern to
this year's enlightened lead
ership. According to one member
of the committee, "There
was one meeting last
spring but after that nothing
happened, no one was con
tacted." It seems a bit
strange that a committee,
dealing with an issue of
acknowledged importance,
should, after one meeting,
die such a shabby death in
the Student Senate files.
One can only ponder the
reasons that led committee
chairman Larry Frolik, now
vice president of ASUN, to
let the committee fall into
dissolution. It certainly was
not the accomplishment of
the committee's goals.
Dubious credit must be
given however, to the
'establishment' for their
timing in bogging down a
bothersome issue in govern
such action if this were one
of the state colleges where
in general the student body
is much closer to home
probably not exceeding 100
150 miles (two or three
hours driving time), but
surely you must recognize
the fact that the University
draws students from a much
wider area and that with
a free day before Thanks
giving, even students, as
myself, who live 600 miles
away (ten to twelve hours
driving time) may spend
Thanksgiving at home with
out driving that distance
after classes are dismissed
on Wednesday, j
Lest I Tsound "like a o n e
man crusade for safe driv
ing, I would suggest you go
back and reread the plea
for safe driving during vaca
tions in the editorial of the
last Daily Nebraskan pre
ceeding Thanksgiving, 1964.
. I sincerely ., hope that
something' Can Be arranged
