YESTERDAY we had a near fiasco at the University of
Nebraska.
The announcement that there would be no Hyde Park
this week because of congestion created in the lounge area
was met with stern opposition by more than a few students.
And Union officials intelligently backed down.
HYDE PARK will resume next Thursday at 3:30 p.m.
in the Union lounge, as before, rather than in the Pan
American room or the Music Room, the suggested alter
natives. CONGESTION was the reason given for cancellation,
A move to another location was suggested but no other
location was available this week every area was booked.
Congestion was not the only, reason Hyde Park was
to be moved from the lounge area.
THE CONGESTION created by the speakers' forum
could have been eliminated by several simple steps which
will go into effect next week. Those attending the forum
will simply be asked to step up closer to the speaker's
stand away from the lounge walkway.
THE ARGUMENT that students have just a much
right not to hear the forum or be bothered with it in the
lounge was made by Nebraska Union Director A. H. Ben
nett. The argument is not logical or consistent with other
Union programming policies.
, THE UNION weekly sponsors "Jazz and Java," a pro
gram which certainly congests the Crib area, and those
students who might wish to enjoy the normal Crib atmos
phere are denied the right to do so.
Several questions arise:
FROM WHAT SOURCES did the cries of congestion
come in the first place? Who made the decision to move
Hyde Park?
NO ONE KNOWS or no one is saying. And no one
will take the final responsibility for the decision that Hyde
Park be moved.
The Hvde Park creators and sponsors, the members of
the Talks "and Topics Committee did not make the deci
sion, although the chairman may have been casually
consulted. Did Richard Scott, the new Union program man
ager, make the decision? Did Bennett have final authority?
THE QUESTIONS have not been answered and
will not be answered. "They" made the decision, and no
one knows who "they" is.
"THEY" is a small, unforebearing word, but it holds
the trigger on the double-barreled shotgun at the Univer
sity "They" is a convenient word. No one but "they'
ever has to take the responsibility for a decision. And no
one ever does.
We were criticized earlier in the semester for referr
ing to the decision-makers as "administrators." How can
we do anything but label them in one large group when
particular individuals do not accept final responsibility
for decisions made,
WHOSEVER decision it was that Hyde Park be moved,
we believe it was for a different reason than congestion.
WITH A MOVE to the crowded Music Room or even
to the Pan American Room, the mood of Hyde Park would
have been destroyed. The spirit of Hyde Park thrives on
passers-by who wander up to listen, perhaps to comment
and take opposing views. Even the lounge area is not ideal,
as we noted in an earlier editorial, but it is the best
location available. To have removed Hyde Park from the
lounge would have destroyed it
COMMENDATIONS are due the students who were in
terested enough to see that Hyde Park will resume as usual
next week.
The Hyde Park controversy outlines an important point
evident for the first time this year at this University.
THERE ARE a growing number of students on this
campus who refuse to take an "administrative" word as
the final word. There are some students who wish to
know who "they" is students who are tired of being just
"we" students who want to understand, to be a part of
the decision-making process which affects each of their
lives.
THEIR REQUEST is not unreasonable and should be

Movie Review
'The Hill': Brutal;
Acting Attribute
By Diaper Sandoe
"The Hill" is a brutal mo
tion picture.
Based on life in an Eng
lish prison camp located in
North Africa whose main
purpose is to restore mili
tary discipline in the British
army's misfits, the film con
cerns itself with questions of
morality in times of war and
has pertinance today in light
of pro and con demonstra
tions on present Viet Nam
policies.
Sean Connery plays the
protagonist and is a pleasant
surprise to people not aware
of his acting stature before
he became known for the
James Bond role. His grasp
of character is admirable
and his acting excellent
The acting plum, how
ever, is stolen by the man
who becomes disenchanted
with the injustice and bru
tality of army life and quits
just quits trying. His act
ing, though humorous, is
sharp comment on Negro
philosophy in relation to ra
cial injustice. His perform
ance seems a shoo-in for an

tion. The acting as a whole is
definitely the film's most
consistant attribute. If the
script falls toward cliche,
the acting buoys it up; if
the plots tends toward melo
drama, the acting justifies
it; if the brutality of the
picture becomes oppressive,
the acting provides respite.
I should like to call atten
tion to the Laurel and Hardy
special which opened in
town yesterday. Although I
have not as yet seen this
track in particular I can
vouch for Stan and Oliver
anytime their films are
shown. This pair are mas
ters of comedy and satire
and their work is every bit
as funny today as it was
thirty-five years ago.

erly and another friend is
enlisted to read the letter
to you while you sink back
on your hospital bed from
general fatigue and restart
your oxygen tent.
The letter from home al
most inevitably begins,
"Dear Gwendolyn, This let
ter writing takes a lot of
time and work so try to take
time off from your life of
leisure as a student and
read it.
Now follows a lengthy dis
sertation on the life of the
college student with gener
ous descriptions of perpetu
al fun and games ending
with a literal sigh and a
wish that they too could be
back in the good old days of
school with nothing to do but
enjoy life.
No reference is ever
made to cramming and oth
er such devices r?l?.ted to
the general practice of
study.
However, sometimes be
sides all the good cheer and
understanding, a letter from
home brings an added bo
nus, namely money.
You can always tell if
there is any legal tender in
the envelope merely by
reading the letter. Halfway
says she has "never in all
(her) life" read sijch things.
We wonder what she has
been reading since this
theme is evident in most
contemporary writing (e.g.
Dylan Thomas, William
Faulkner, William Golding,
et. al.) and also in our
whole literary tradition.
If Jean is going to cover
her children's eyes, she'll
have to hide them not only
from Hawthorne and Poe,
but also from Shakespeare
and the Bible (the latter is
notorious for bloody, lurid
episodes and the former
- badness what they do to
Gloucester's eyes in Lear).
This brings us to the real
question: Is there no way
to instill morality in chD
dren other than by keeping
them illiterate?
