dards." Cosier

self he is awakening students
to the role they must play in
their university and in their

this belt of conservatism to

Job Corps Plans ...
Lincoln Addendum
Reveals Changes
By Bruce Giles
Junior Staff Writer
An addendum to the original
document proposing to a Job
Corps Center at the Lincoln
Air Force Base will be taken
to the Office of Economic
Opportunity (OEO) in Wash
ington today. Mr. J. 0. Gran
tham, manager of long-range
manpower planning for North'
era Natural Gas Co. and pro
posed director of the center,
wiil file the addendum accord
ing to Max Hansen, chairman
and associate professor of
industrial arts.
The University and North
em Natural Gas Co. have
jointly filed the application to
establish a Job Corps Center
at the air base which will be
deactivated next July.
Hansen, proposed deputy
director of the center, said the
addendum was a result of a
complete program review a
few weeks ago in Washington.
"The addendum contains no
significant changes except
that we expanded in several
areas on how we propose to
carry out the program," Han
sen said. "The OEO wanted
some additional supporting
evidence for the need of an
agriculture mechanics area,"
be said.
"However," Hansen em
phasized, "there are still
several significant matters to
be worked out. The federal
government holds a lease on
the Air Base land until 2050
and there is some question
whether the federal govern
ment would resume the lease
held by the Air Force or
whether the federal govern
ment would turn the base back
to the city of Lincoln. This Is
still unresolved."
If the federal government
were to resume the lease held
by the Air Force, the base
would be offered to various
governmental agencies. It Is
a possibility that some other
governmental agency would
be offered the base facilities
before the OEO would be of
fered the facilities.
"We are also not sure of
the effect ol the OEO budget
their government is open to
inspection by the governed.
"What matters Is that Dav
idson is causing a few minds
to think, outside of the class
room ... the academic spir
it which Carl Davidson is
helping to promote may some
day equal 'Go Big Red, spir
It," the letter continued.
The person who wrote the
letter nominating Davidson
said "I am unable to dress
up my letter with such flow-
ery words as 'cleverness,'
'wit,' and 'unbelievable' as I
do not know my nominee per
sonally, which I consider to
be an advantage. I do not
and will never consider par
ticipation in activities a cri
eria for what makes an out
standing person or an o u t -
standing Nebraskan."
The writer concluded, "I
am forced here to use a 'flow-
ery' word which I think is far
more weighty than any used
in previous nominations and
which goes further in saying
what the outstanding Nebras
kan and American is.
"The word Is courage. Cour
age to face up to facts when
facts are truth, courage to face
an audience who can only lis
ten to views which reinforce
their own beliefs, and cour
age to continue when faced
by such misconceptions as
'laugh the beards off cam
pus.' "
Any student may nominate
another student or instructor
whom he considers to be out
standing in contributions to
the University. Letters should
be taken to the Daily Nebras
kan office in the Nebraska Un
ion by 4 p.m. today. Out
standing Nebraskans will be
named in Friday s paper.

cut (from $3 billion to $1.6
billion) on the establishment
of new centers," Hansen
noted.
"In the meantime, we are
going ahead with the pro
gram, budgeting and contract
figures," he said.
"We hope to go In February
for contract negotiations, as
sumlng nothing happens to
block it all," he said.
Hansen said it is hoped that
the center could become oper
ational by August or Septem
ber. The center would start with
about 400 corpsmen in the
initial stages, and build up to
about 2,000 by the end of the
second year, according to
Hansen.
"We are talking of a 24
bour-a-day, seven day a week
program, which would mean
many of the staff would be
housed In the present base
housing. Starting with a staff
of about 400, we would cer
tainly expect a portion of the
staff to be from minority
groups about the same mix
among the staff as among the
corpsmen," he said.
Corpsmen would be housed
in barracks and bachelor of
ficer quarters, according to
Hansen.
If the OEC were not able to
budget the center this year,
Hansen sais the base would
Immediately start to dete
riorate physically.
"If we started a year later,
It would cost so much more
money to rennovatc," be said.
Noting a criticism by some
opponents that an industry
would bring more tax money
into the state, Hansen said
that the Job Corps Center
would Include a $6 million
annua payroll and a $12 to $15
million total contract per
year.
"In addition, tba Job Corps
Center will not preclude in
dustry from locating on other
portions of the base not used
by the center. The center
would provide a labor force
that could draw in Industry,"
he said.

iami Tans N ebraskans
By Steve Jordon
Junior Staff Writer
Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Hol
lywood, the Bahamas, the
Everglades these were the
places visited by University
students during the Orange
Bowl Festival.
The Nebraska Union trip,
responsible for about 75 new
sun tans, and the 160-piece
marching band were the larg
est student groups in Florida
from the University.
"The first night we were
pretty disappointed," Norm
Goding, one of the men on
the Union trip, said. "Wei
were tired and found out that
Miami was an 'over 21' town."
Poor Hotel
"If it hadn't been for the
alums, we wouldn't have had
such a good time," Connie
Rassmussen said. Miss Rass
mussen, also on the Union
trip, said that the hotel which
housed the group was "one
of the worst hotels I've been
in.
"Very few kids stayed there
except to sleep," she said.
"The hotel was on Biscayne
Bay, between 10 and 15 miles
from Miami Beach. A lot of
kids rented cars with the help
of the alums. But it was worth
the trip just for the weather."
"I spent a good deal of the
time in Miami since I know
some people down there,"
Georgia Merriam said. "The
accommodations could have
been a little more desirable,
but we saw a lot we wouldn't
have seen if we had stayed on
the beach."
According to Allen Bennett,
director of the Nebraska Un
ion, the hotel originally re
served violated their contract.
Cancelled Contract
"The hotel had moved part
of the group without telling
us, so we cancelled the con
tract and found another hotel,"-
Bennett said.
"The trip was well worth
It," Carol Sagesser said. "I
was disappointed in the hotel
but there were no real prob
lems. There were lots of par
ties, and the trip was well
organized."
"The Union officials were
great," Goding said. "They
tried to solve any problems
and find things to do for ev
eryone. Kids went deep-sea
fishing, toured night clubs
and some even flew to the
Bahamas for a day.
"The trip was really the
only way to go down and see
Miami and make it back to
classes," he said.

Is But One Race;
Humanity7 Panel Says
... Of Existing Prejudice
By Ruth Hagedorn
Junior Staff Writer
Lincoln's Panel of American
Women, composed of rep
resentatives of the Jewish
and Catholic faiths, the Negro
race, and the white majority,
discussed existing local pre
judices at Monday's Panhel
lenic meeting.
The panel's purpose, accord
ing to its moderator, Mrs.
John Gourlay, can be expres
sed through poet George
Moore's statement that, "Af
ter all, there is but one race
humanity." She said further
that the group, organized one
year ago, wants to make the
city aware of its problem and
t o"set people thinking."
Panel Members Speak
Members of the panel in
cluded Mrs. Sheldon Kushner
who represented the Jewish
minority, Mrs. Roy Gossage
who spoke as a member of
the Catholic faith, Mrs. Ed
Greenwade, representative of
the Negro race, and Mrs.
Allen Overcash who is a mem
ber of the white majority.
Mrs. Kushner, speaking
from her own experiences,
stated that she thought too
many people stereotype
groups such as the Jews. She
said that she found friends
would make her acquaintance
and accept her as an indivi
dual while they were still
leery of Jews as a group.
bhe also said that she be
lieved that religion should be
kept out of public schools.
"The Christmas spirit Is
great fun to be around, but
we have Hanukkak which Is
a holiday with a very special
meaning to us," she said.
She concluded that, though
in the process of changing,
there is still much antl-semit-ism
which can be caught in
everyday phrases such as
"Jew a person down." She
said she hoped that this might
soon be remedied through a
common bond of brotherhood.
Mrs. Gossage began by say
ing that she does-not "recom
mend mixed marriages" (be
tween a Catholic and a Protes
tant) because it is just "one
more stumbling block."
She backed her church In Its
stand against birth control
and in its change to the use of
vernacular In the regular
church service.
Mrs. Ed Greenwade, having
grown up in an all-Negro
community in Louisiana, said
that while young .she was not
aware of any noticeable at
titudes of her family toward
other races and knew of none
toward her own. This quickly
changed.
Upon receiving her B. A.
degree In elementary educa.
tlon she was assigned to a
Negro school. About this she
commented. "Everyone spoke
of equality, but I have yet to
find what plantation schools
are equal to."
Localizing the problem,
The Daily
OCOITQ
sophomores would have 11
p.m. hours on week nights
and that Sunday night hours
would be 12 midnight for all
women. Other hours remain
unchanged.
Delegation Gives Perspective
Vicki Dowling, sponsor of
the motion, said that the
At 8 a.m. every day resi
dents of the town woke to the
sounds of the band on its way
to a practice football field,
and all day the streets were
full of men in red Nebraska
Band shirts.
After the five-mile Orange
Bowl parade, the band rode
back to Hollywood and a buf
fet before welcoming in the
New Year with parties in Ft.
Lauderdale, Miami and Hol
lywood. The first return plane was
nearly two hours late in Lin
coln, but arrived in time for
the Nebraska sunrise and 40
degree temperatures to wake
up the tired musicians.
Mrs. Greenwade stated that
the prejudice in Lincoln is
very subtle. That is, Negroes
are accepted up to a point and
this point, she said, is housing.
Remarks Ostracize Children
Children are often the vic
tims of remarks, she said,
citing times when young
white children who were play
ing with her sons were quickly
punished by their parents and
lectured on the "evil s" of
playing with "niggers."
"Not until one American
can look at another without
seeing color first will there
truly be equality. We must
educate our children toward
this," she concluded.
Mrs. Overcash, speaking
both as a white and a Protes
tant, said that up until the
time she entered the Univer
sity she had had no personal
contacts with Negroes and few
with Jews; all she knew was
what she had been told of the
stereotyped groups. She said,
"To me Negroes all had the
same color and the same
face."
As she bagan to meet
Negroes, Mrs. Overcash said
she frequently asked herself,
"Why don't people act that
way to me? Just because I'm
white?"
Stating that she had never
been and still is often not
aware of which of her
acquaintances are Catholic
and which are not, she decided
that this line of prejudice is
not very strong.

changes in AWS regulations
"presented a different per

"Rather than yielding to
particular pressure," she con
tinued, "we simply realized
that certain areas needed re

Two amendments were pro

The first was presented by
Pam Hedgecock and sought to

To Discuss
Revolutions
An extended series of meet
ings that would encompass a
panel discussion on revolution

it is under consideration
by the history Club.
Vice President Bob Pringle
said the club, established this
semester, is hoping to begin
a two or three meeting ser
ies on the subject. The first
meeting would be in Febru
ary. Pringle said the panel, to
be composed of faculty mem
bers, would discuss revolution
in "historical, ethical and mor
al" perspective and present
views on why revolutions oc
cur and what a revolution ac
tually is.
At the regular meeting last
night, three faculty members
dissected the European total
itarian governments of World
War II.
Robert Sakai, Edward
Homze and Raphael Zariski
concluded that the govern
ments of Japan, Germany and
Italy at that time did not ac
tually live up to the philoso
phical ideal of a totalitarian
state.
Homze, assistant professor
of history and Zariski, associ
ate professor of political sci
ence, said that there is not
much possibility of a rise of
fascist sentiment in Germany
or Italy today.
Sakai, however, noted that
"Japan today has no ideology"
and this condition could eas
ily lead to a rise of facist
sentiment because the people
would need a strong nation
alistic sentiment to cling to
if there should be an econom
ic decline in the country.

The second amendment sug
gested that hours be 10 p.m.

basis as the first.

Miss Dowling said that week
night hours were extended to
allow women to use the li
brary and that the Sunday
night hours were extended to
alleviate transportation prob
lems for those students who
go home on week-ends.
A report on a senior key
system will be presented dur
ing a February meeting, Miss
Dowling added, after question
naires to parents and informa
tion from other schools have
been tabulated.
AWS President Mrs. Jan
Whitney Hibbs said that copies
of the AWS Constitution would
be ready for individual living
units some time in February.
Early
Gallery kept working, little
affected by the homeward
flight of the students.
Spring Cleaning
The students' departure
cleared the way for added
work as custodians began
what they call their "periodic
cleaning." John Dzerk, oper
ational manager of the Physi
cal Plant, described this as
being "similar to your moth
er's spring cleaning. We get
underneath and clean things
our usual daily schedule
doesn't permit."
Approximately 1,900 rooms
and hallways in University
dormitories were subject to
thorough cleaning by the 40
full-time and 45 part-time cus
todians under the supervision
of Alfred Calvert, dirctor of
residence halls, Physical
Plant.
Vacation Job
This complete job of cam
pus cleaning is done three
times a year: during Christ
mas, Easter, and summer
vacations, according to Dzerk.
Maintenance men also had
additional work over the holi
days. "With the students gone
we could repair the parking
lots," explained John Harris,
grounds manager of the Phy
sical Plant. He said that the
whole new parking lot next to
Nebraska Hall had to be re
built because now with the
houses gone, the old plan
was not suitable.
New curbs and asphalt ap
proaches were added to lots
and parking stripes repainted.
Both streets and parking lots
were tarred. Trees were trim
med and three additional big
Linden trees were added west
of Abel Hall, according to
Harris.
Renovation of six laborator
ies and classrooms was con
t i n u e d at Avery, Burnett,
Morrill, and Nebraska Halls,
according to A 1 1 e e Dick,
maintenance supervisor of
Job Pool.
Schedule Deadline
The registration office was
busy with second semester
schedules. Explained Regis
trar Floyd Hoover, "We have
to keep moving so that we
can meet the deadline for the
students."
Love Library was closed
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
of both weeks but remained
open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
on the remaining days.
While open the library serv
ed "mostly faculty members,
graduate students who wished
to continue their research, and
students home from other col
leges and universities who
needed additional reference
materials," according to Eu
gene Johnson, associate direc
tor. The State Historical Soci
ety reported its largest De
cember crowds on record,
many of which came during
vacation, according to Mar
vin Kivett, director.
Special Painting
Special painting was done
on first floor in the museurx
area "with the idea that va
cation would be a slack time.,
but it wasn't" stated Kivett.
Sheldon Memorial Art Gal
lery reported slower crowds
partially due to the fact that
there were no special exhibi
tions. Vacation was used to
prepare for the new film ser
ies and set up the projectors.
