Slap in The Face
Many University of Nebraska coeds will feel they have
been slapped in the face. The hard knuckled hand was
thrust with the announcement that Miss Nebraska will be
highlighted in the Orange Bowl parade-Miss Nebraska,
Karen Hansmeier, from Concordia Teachers College rather
than an NU coed.
IT WOULD NOT SEEM unlikely or unnatural for Miss
Hansmeier to be a part of the Nebraska official delega
tion to the Orange Bowl. But why she will represent the
University of Nebraska Cornhuskers anv better than a
University coed could is the question many will ask.
Approximately one third of the student bodv at the
University is female that adds up to about 5,(100 girls.
Surely there is some girl in that number who could satis
factorily represent our team, our University at the Or
ange Bowl.
BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT nor the reason for
Miss Hansmeier's selection. The Seward County Feeders
and Breeders Association started the drive for a float in
the parade with a $140 wad. And the men who spearhead
ed the drive were granted their wish that Miss Nebraska
be featured in the parade.
Perhaps someone might contribute an even larger sum
toward the $7500 goal so that "float officials" will have to
say yes or no to several other favored young ladies. The
situation could become a vicious contest' a battle a very
petty one.
PERHAPS IT IS BEST that a University coed is not
involved. It is an honor. And there will be a camera close
up when Miss Hansmire goes riding by but the crowd close
ups will reveal the NU coed among the ctlicr fans; Ne
braska's Sunshine Girl and the Pom-pon girls will add to
the number of University coeds featured at the Orange
Bowl.
Let's keep the cat's meow down to a quiet purr and
let Miss Nebraska's cheeks tire with a pasted smile.
Davidson Commended
Dr. John Davidson has successfully begun and has
maintained a learning course at the University. His botany
students search for the facts, for the reasons why a flower
wilts, or why celery sticks in one's teeth.
At the University his teaching methods are unusual,
extra-ordinary. And as Davidson noted, most other profes
sors take the position, "It works for you, but it won't for
me."
We hope more and more professors adopt Davidson's
method. His course is designed for the student to increase
his learning not his facility to memorize facts or his
ability to get a 4.0 average.
Davidson is providing a real opportunity to learn he
is to be commended.

Reader Is Glad Arkansas Shocked Movie Review-
He is Phi Deli At Husker Decision
By Roger A. Elm
Paul Booth, national president of Students for a Demo
cratic Society (SDS), has announced that SDS will end
their nationally sponsored anti-draft and conscientious ob
jector programs. Mr. Booth stated that the change was
made as an attempt to maintain SDS's image as a group
favoring 'conservative' governmental change.
THIS SEEMS a strange image for a group that de
scribes itself as 'radically leftist', but apparently Mr. Booth
sees no contradiction.
One can only speculate on the reasons that prompted
this reversal in SDS's position, but the wave of Pro-Americanism
that has swept the nation could very well have
been felt in SDS's national headquarters. The Attorney
General's adamant position on draft card burnings and
anti-war demonstrations must surely be another.
LOCAL MEMBERS of SDS on the Nebraska campus
viewed the news release with some amazement, and com
mented that the local chapter is an autonomous unit and
that the national policy statement would be discussed at
their upcoming meeting.
We can hardly see the local chapter of SDS disregard
the national policy statement. It may provide them with a
face saving means to be rid of a poorly received program
on campus.
Dear Editor:
While taking the usual 30
seconds break from t h e
academic rush to glance
through the "gutless won
der" (referring to content,
not courage), which we fond
ly call a campus news
paper, I became more than
a little disturbed at the as
rertions you nave made on
the Greek system.
1 would be among the
first to admit that the fra
ternity system as we and
our immediate predecessors
have known it cannot long
survive. Rut the basic
cause of this is in the tre
mendously increased college
enrollments and the concept
that fraternity living as we
desire it can not function
with memberships above 150
men, while at the same
time, if we don't compete
with the dorms numerically
the percentages are against
us. The dilemma is obvious.
But, sweetheart, you just
haven't been logging enough
hours in the fraternity chap
ter rooms, bull sessions, in
tramural competitions, and
public service projects if
you think that "security and
assurance of a devoted
brotherhood," "the frolic,
joy and fellowship" don't ap
ply to the 1965 student.
I look upon my fraternity
as the most rewarding ex
perience of my college ca
reer (paralleled only by the
education I have received).
This year, due to financial
and personal obligations I
am unable to live in the
House, but I miss those "de
spairing rules and obliga
tions" more than I can ex
press. I'm confident that I
speak for most of the Greek
men on campus. I will how
ever, leave the sororities to
you. I feel lucky-to-be
A Phi Delt
Sweetheart's Note: Our
faith has been renewed in
that wonderful old adage:
"Distance makes the heart
grow fonder." How many
service projects, chapter
meetings, and intramurals
have you participated in this
year?
Base-r
Nearly all of the speed
limit signs in Nebraska
have been changed from
55 to 60 mph at night. In
thinking this over, we won
der if the state consulted
Daddy Warbucks before
making such a radical
move.
To the University of
Nebraska:
It came as a great shock
to us at the University of
Arkansas, to the state, and,
we are sure, to the nation
as well to learn that the
"Cornshuckers" have ac
cepted an invitation to play
in the Orange Bowl on New
Years Day.
If our memory serves us
correctly, there were per
sistent rumors early this
year that the University of
Nebraska would like anoth
er crack at the Hogs of Ar
kansas. But now it seems
that this was just so much
bluster.
We, of course, realize that
it would do much more to
enhance the national pres
tige of the "Cornshuckers"
to play a high ranked South
east Conference team with
such a tremendous record
as the Uni- "stty of Ala
bama rather than to play a
small Southw Conference
school with such a "lowly"
record as the University of
Arkansas.
Since you claim to be
"National Champions", we
can under"nd your reluc
tance to accept nn invitation
to a "lesser bowl". We can
also understand your desire
not to be beaten by the
same team on the same field
two years in a row.
Therefore, we accept your
acquiescence and tacit
agreement that we have the
better team.

'Ship Of Fools' Is Mediocre
cting Neither Good Or Bad
By Diaper Sandoe
Stanley Kramer's "Ship of Fools" was
a bitter dissappointment to this reviewer.
A picture which endeavours to por
tray the faults and foibles of mankind,
it shows only how medicre American
films tend to be.
This picture has received favorable
reviews from such hallowed sources as
the New Yorker and the Journal Ameri
can, but perhaps those reviewers saw a
different set of reels than I.
Lee Marvin steals a meager portion
of a faded spotlite, and is entertaining if
not believable as the athletic ex-athlete.
The other acting is, at best, trite. Eliza
beth Ashley was neither good nor bad,
despite raves from Life Magazine.
The script and the plot do little to
Fox!s Facts-
ikh Road
To 'iverlastin
By Gale Pokorny
Our fair state of Nebras
ka, with its teeming mass
es (cows not people) and
its unlimited potential (ring
necked pheasants and in
dustrial sites), finds itself
in a difficult position these
days.
SOONER OR LATER it
will have to decide which
road it is going to take to
everlasting fame. Will it try
to retain its long held title
as the shining example of
the wild, wild, West with
its range wars, Indian mas
sacres, pony express and
sixty mile an hour night
speed limit? Or will it con
tinue to streak madly for
ward into the missile age
commiting only the sin of
building its skyscrapers in
a poorly arranged pattern?
Lincoln, being the capital,
is quite concerned with this
problem of decision, and we
can see in this city how the
silent struggle is forcing a
combination of both ages
on the population. On the
exterior we see a normal
American functioning metro
polis happily cashing in on
the tide of higher education,
but if one takes the time
to look closer, certain rem
nents of the wild wooly
West still are pesent, al
though cleverly modified by
society's technological ad
vances. FOR INSTANCE, don't
despair kiddies if you think
you have seen the last of
Zorro when he rode away
into the sunset several
years back with Walt Dis
ney on one side and that
idiot bird with his bottle of
7-up on the other. The truth
is I see Zorro ride by my
window every two hours,
(yes, I feel all right). He
never rides a horse though,
(we do have some laws)
he rides a Cushman scooter-truck
of a rather uncer
tain color. It is sort of a
frog stomach yellow.
His sword is a little modi
fied too. Instead of the reg
ular, super-long, sharp
steak knife that he used to
tote around, he now has one
with a piece of chalk tied
to the end. And he doesn't
pick on fat soldiers any
more, he devotes himself
exclusively to the rear tires
of cars belonging to college
students.
TRUE TO FORM, he is
o Take
Fame'
always dependable. No mat
ter if it is raining, snowing
or flooding, you can bet
your sliderule he will be
around leaving his auto
graph either on your Fire
stones or on that cute little
name card stuck beneath
your windshield wiper.
He is fast, never staying
long in one place, (he
wouldn't dare) and silent
often surprising his adver
sary in embarassing situa
tions (like bending over and
wiping the chalk off t h e
tire.) He always triumphs
over his opponent and with
a flick of the wrist leaves
his mark, ("Raise Police
Salaries", chalked across
the forehead).
True also to the old im
age, he is attired in black
with only one major flaw in
the costume, his mask is
gone, (I don't see why).
Further confusion results
from the fact that he has
others who collect the bene
fits from his toils and they
don't wear masks either.
But it is all done in good
faith to bring to justice those
who . . . excuse me but it
is now two hours since I
last went out and checked
my car and . . .
come to the actors' aid. The plot centers
around the passengers on an Atlantic
Ocean vessel the usual tourists, business
men and escapists. There are also sever
al hundred stranded Cuban migratory
laborers who are allowed passage in
steerage. O.K. so far, but Kramer insists
in dwelling on microcosmic truths, and
far from missing the target, he seeming
ly never notices that one Is there, or
should be.
The show hops from traumatic situa
tions to humorous (?) ones, and one Is
never sure which is which. (If this sounds
like an admirable point, believe me, it is
not.)
The one good thing about this plcturo
is that it makes one think about it this
one is bored and slightly nauseated.

Of course, you would still

We want to make it easier for you
to contact people, learn,
get information, attend lectures,
and hold meetings.
We developed Picturephone
service so you can see as well as talk
when you call. And be seen, too.
We introduced Tele-Lecture service
(two-way amplified phone calls)
to let you hear lecturers
in distant locations. And so you
could ask them questions
no matter how far away they were.
Right now, many students can dial
from their dormitories to a
language lab. Soon a student
will be able to dial into a
computer thousands of miles away
to get information for his courses.
Depending on the nature
of the information, he might get
his answer back audibly,
printed on a teletypewriter,
as a video image,
or a facsimile print.
Some of these services
are available now.
Others are being tested.
For the next week or so,
better get a move on.
