Several thousand students at the Uni
versity each day face a number of hours
work for a big and less than generous
employer the University.
Some students serve as janitors, mes
sengers, waitresses, physical plant em
ployees, or secretaries. Graduate stu
dents are often employed as research as
sistants, tutors or graders.
All are caught in a problem which
often occurs in a large university com
munity. Employers in the city as well
as the University itself are able to hire
help for little more than slave wages.
The University employer particularly
should not exploit the student because
many times the job is absolutely essen
tial to help him get through four years
of college.
Actually the University of Nebraska
is treating its student employees quite
well in comparison to several other area
campuses.
There are approximately 2,820 stu
dents employed by the University. The
average salary earned is estimated at
$1.15.
Appreciate Protestors . . .
Spur Morality,
Are Watchdogs
(ACP) Sure, we appreciate the anti-war protestors,
says the University of Tennessee Daily Beacon, Knoxville.
But why? Not because they have "made Americans aware
of how important morale is overseas and caused united
supporters of our boys over there."
And we don't appreciate the anti-war protestors be
cause their efforts have "backfired." That's ridiculous.
THE REASONS we appreciate some of these protest
ors is that they represent some very encouraging signs.
First, these people are aware of and concerned with
national policy. Unfortunately, American people are tradi
tionally preoccupied with themselves and are willing to let
the rest of the world go to hell. And, in many cases, our
foreign policy represents this attitude.
Second, the protestors are utilizing their awareness
and concern by voicing, strongly and pointedly, their feel
ings. By this action, they are "watchdogging" our gov
ernment and the policies it makes.
THIRD, AND PERHAPS most important they repre
sent a trend in America toward personal involvement of
citizens in what the country is doing. Perhaps the pro
testors are accepting their share of the responsibility ev
eryone must bear for the actions of his own community
toward other communities.
Finally, if the protestors are spurring a trend in na
tional thinking, perhaps it is also a trend toward morality
in government. Maybe our leaders feel that expediency
in policy is the major criterion for its worth. But individu
als in the nation may feel that morality is the only mea
sure.
If we appreciate what the protestors are doing, even
if we don't agree with their stands, we can stop calling
them names and give them credit for doing a job that
our schools, newspapers, political leaders, and churches
have failed to do.
What with the population

that this year I'd better do
my annual good deed by

are a few of the suggestions
I've thought up for him.
For Charles de Gaulle, a
new hat with a smaller head
size.
For those students driving
to the Orange Bowl, wings.
For Abel Hall residents,
visas to visit the City
Campus.
For the Republican Party,
a John Lindsay mold to
help in their image building.
For the University, one
million feet of sod for their
little men to put down and
then dig trenches through.
For the Union, red and
green cash registers to keep
in the spirit of the season.
For people driving down
14th or 16th Streets, good
brakes.

who claims I never say a
look for the golden orches

The minimum salary earned is 85
cents, according to Robert Scott, Univer
sity, financial aid adviser. Several gradu
ate students are earning the maximum
University student wage, $3, he said.
At the University of Oklahoma the
average student salary is 99 cents an
hour 92 cents for female employees.
At Kansas State this year 1,205 stu
dents are earning an average of $1.20 an
hour.
Comparatively the University, as an
employer, is walking the middle ground.
Student wages here are not the worst
nor are they the best. There is room for
improvement.
But the fact remains that the vari
ous individual employers, Nebraska Un
ion, the libraries, the grounds department
can only spend for salaries as much as
their budget allows. That budget at the
University is rarely large enough in any
instance .
We would hope that there will be an
upward trend in student salaries as well
as the number of jobs available.

Basic Problem:

Dear Editor:
Although I realize that by
writing this letter I j o i n
the ranks of those called
dirty old men by the AWS
Board, I feel that something
more should be said on
women's closing hours. I
grant that under the pres
ent system one can raise
any number of justifiable
arguments for change or
abolishment of hours, but
how many of these are just
adaptations from the basic
problem.
What then is this basic
problem?
Women have been from
the beginning of time sec
ondary creatures. They have
been considered as posses
sion of property, sometimes
guarded out of utility some
times out of passion; but al
ways considered as second
ary persons.
As a result of this dis
crimination came rebellion;
from this rebellion came

equal employment and wom

In all these fields men
still are the superior force
but, have been forced in an
attempt to maintain male
dominance to set up certain
institutions. Now one of
these institutions is being
questioned women's clos
ing hours.
Is this institution still
valid? Do we see fit that it
should be continued?
We're engaged in a losing
battle, losing because we
choose to lose. We have al
lowed women in our univer
sity, we have given them
intellectual freedom, we
have told them to be re
sponsible, and now they are
demanding a change in an
institution.
We have no choice but to
allow this change. We must,
in fact, assist them to be
come equals, assist them in
their use of logic and reason
in the pursuance of t h e i r
goals.

Dear Editor:
Once again the leader of
the group that controls my
life and morality has failed
to recognize the problems
that do exist on this cam

Contrary to her "person

are concerned with hours.

Dear Editor:
Think of an axe. Just any
old axe. Mamie De Smitzer
has an axe. Although you
may not think it normal
for a girl to carry an axe,
Mamie does. And Mamie is
a girl. Mamie is small and
sweet and affectionate and
all the men at the blade
sharpener's shop tell her
they think she is cute.
One day Mamie drove her
funny little car to the NU
campus. She parked it at a
place where no other cars
were. There were no signs
saying how long she could
park there. There were no
signs saying she couldn't
park there at all. Mamie
was glad that the Univer
sity provided such nice
places for people to park
their cars in.
Mamie ran happily off to
class. When she returned,
she looked on her wind

More than likely, they
would immediately be
branded as someone trying

to pursue an immoral life

ticket, expertly placed by
the efficient hands of o n e
of those nice campus police
men. Mamie was infuriated. It
was a five-dollar ticket.
Without a moment's hesita
tion, Mamie knew what she
would do. She would take
care of that nasty parking
ticket. Swiftly she reached
into her purse, drew out her
axe, and lifting the weapon
deftly over her head
smashed that dirty ole tic

parts of Atikoken, Ohio,

What Mamie forgot was
that when she sliced that
ticket, she also smashed her
windshield to smithereens

MORAL OF THE STORY

nothing to fear when mere
men complain about the

And therefore, unless a
few (say 10 or 12) women
can begin some action
against the AWS mentality,
I think I might never men
tion the subject again.
Dirty Old Man
where the hours are two
o'clock on weekends? Or
from Wesleyan where wom
en are granted a certain
number of "late leaves"
per semester when they
may come in a half hour
after regular hours, WEEK
NIGHTS OR WEEKENDS?
I can't find anything in
my campus handbook that
can match what either of
these schools has granted
to women students.
The present AWS rules
give no consideration for
individuals. I'm sure there
are some women who would
rather study until eight on
Sunday night and then go to
a late movie but can't be
cause of the 11 o'clock
hours. Then there are those
who go to Omaha to "The
Sound of Music" or the cin
erama and then drive like
crazy to get home before
the door is locked in their
faces.
And, since AWS hasn't
been able to outlaw love
yet, there are some couples
who like to just sit and
talk or plan or dream only
to have everything inter
rupted at 12:55 by a fran
tic "We've got to get back
to the house so I won't get
late minutes!"
Perhaps, Miss Whitney,
you feel these are just iso
lated cases with only a
small minority of women
involved. Does AWS disre
gard the voice of the mi
nority even though it is the
only voice brave enough to
speak?
I can also see some nec
essary changes in visiting
hours and the demerit sys
tem. One of the objectives
that sororities pursue is to
teach gracious living. Just
how gracious is it to say to

in the hall and then leave.
It isn't visiting hours, you
know."? Perhaps each liv
ing unit could decide upon
its own visiting hours.
And how many women
are slapped with late min
utes and demerits in their
own homes if they miss the
curfew by 10 or 15 min
utes? Not many, if any.
Some type of demerit sys
tem is necessary to en
force the rules, but it too,
should be more liberal than
the present one.
There is also something
degrading about going to
King's at 10:15 on a Sun
day night and then racing
back to campus before 11
p.m. while the high school
juniors and seniors are still
at the late show.
Liberalization of women's
hours is in order, whether
or not Miss Whitney and
her gunning puppets rea
lize it. Women are not al
lowed to develop responsi
bility concerning their per
sonal lives or to feel they
have a part in deciding
when they should come in.
Changes can and must be
made. I don't feel there
would be a drastic change
in the moral climate of the
University if women were
allowed to stay out later.
What can be done at an
apartment at 1:30 a.m. can
just as easily be done at
the same apartment at 3:30
in the afternoon.
Until t h e discontented
women on this campus
make their feelings known,
women will continue to live
under old-fashioned, un
bending rules.
The challenge is there.
Those of us interested in
accepting it need your help.
