I South African Natives
Labeled 'Superstitious'l
By Julie Morris
Senior Staff Writer
Characterizing South Afri
can natives as "superstiti
ous" and "backward," a Uni
versity freshman who lived in
the country, said that exclu
sion of the blacks from the
country's government is justi
fied. The South African white
government's policy of apar
theid racial separation) is a
practical measure employed
to "control" the country's 22
million blacks, Andy East
man, a freshmen agronomy
major from Kimball said.
Eastman returned in late
August from a year's work
at a sugar plantation on the
outskirts of Durban, in Na
tal province on the Indian
Ocean. Eastman was spon
sored by a Rotary Club
work-exchange program. He
worked in the fields with na
tive employees, he reported.
"South Africa is a very
rich country, with capable
men handling the government.
It is becoming a modernized
country," Eastman said.
The "capable men" at the
moment, he said, are the lead
ers of the 8.5 million Euro
peans in the country. The na
tive blacks, he said are not
capable of having a part in
the government because
"they haven't been exposed to
European thinking" and are
not able to "grasp" modern
concepts.
Superstition, Witch Doctors
The natives, Eastman said,
are "very superstitious and
witch doctors can cause great
problems among the people."
In addition, the native Afri
cans are not educated and
are not receptive to govern
education for them, Eastman
said.
He cited a case in which
Africans burned down a new
government-erected school
building.
Eastman referred to an in
terview with r Ugandan grad
uate student, A.B. Wandera,
published in Wednesday's
Daily Nebraskan. Wandera'i
statement that blacks are
"used like tools" by the Souia
moe, "My Fair Lady" by
Lerner and L'oewe, "Seventy
Six Trombones," by Wilson,
"Nebraska" by Frank Tirro,
"Billboard March" by Klohr,
and "Hail Varsity" by Che
nowith and Ayres.
The Cornhusker Marching
Band will play before the
game and perform on the
field during the half-time
ceremonies.
Visiting bands will arrive
in buses at the Alemorial
Stadium's south practice field
and proceed to the parade.
After a rehearsal, they will
be served a lunch by mem
bers of Builders.
According to Lentz, the
bands are selected by an al
phabetical rotation system.
Bands ordinarily are able to
return every three years but
lentz noted that with the in
creased size of bands, they
may be able to return only
every four years.
Kingsmen To Entertain
For Homecoming Dance
The coronation of the 1966
Homecoming royalty and
"The Kingsmen," a national
ly known recording group,
will receive top billing at the
annual Homecoming dance to
be held Oct. 14 in the Uni
versity Coliseum, according
to Jerry Olson, Corn Cobs
Homecoming chairman.
African government "isn't so
at all," he said.
The black person is left
alone to live as he wants to
live," Eastman said. He said
the report that blacks must
carry identification cards at
all times is true, but noted
that whites and the other two
major racial groups, Indians
and "colored" must also car
ry this identification.
"'Colored' includes a mix
ture of races," Eastman said.
Difficulty
Eastman said that, in act
uality, whites "have a more
difficult time getting places
within the country than the
blacks." The whites, he said,
must have special permits to
visit any of the "reserves"
which make up "two-thirds"
of the country.
In contrast to what Wan
dera said, Eastman said that
blacks are not shipped off
to work in the mines" but
that the natives want to work
in the mines because the
wages are much higher for
this type of work.
Apartheid, Eastman as
serted, is only a practical
means of handling a poten
tially highly explosive situa
tion in the country. He
stressed the newness of the
country's independence, five
years old this year, and the
vast economic resources
available within the country.
South Africa,, he observed,
supplies 90 per cent of the
free world's gold and is
staunchly anti-Communist.
Eastman said he feels the
government of South Africa
will eventually have to give
representation to the blacks,
but that they are far from
ready for an effective role
now.
"How would having black
people represented in the gov
ernment help matters?" he
asked.
The South African whites,
he said, "feel superior" to
the blacks, but in the sense
that the blacks are the labor
ing and, therefore, the lower
class.

Earl "Fatha" Hines and his trio will per
form at the 1966-67 Nebraska Union fine
arts convocation series third annual jazz
concert at 3:30 p.m. Friday on the west
steps of Sheldon Art Gallery.
In previous years, the "Jazz in the
Afternoon" program has featured such
names as Stan Getz and Dave Brubeck.
Last year's concert, featuring Dave
Brubeck, attracted an attendance of ap
proximately 4,000 students, faculty mem
bers and Lincolnites.
Rich Scott, Nebraska Union program
manager, explained that the fine arts con
vocation series sponsored the annual jazz
concert in the fall to allow the campus
to hear "real jazz at its finest."
Hines, the im "Jazzman of the
Year" and newly-elected to Down Beat
Jazz Hall of Fame, has just returned from
a State Department cultural exchange tour
of the Soviet Union.
"Fatha's" sidemen include Bill Pen
foerton on the bass; Oliver Jackson on

A constitution for an in

chairman of the Interdormi

(IDCC), announced Wednes
day. !
When the IDCC finishes re
vising the constitution in the
next week or two, copies of
it will be distributed to the
residents. A vote will be

Ludwig asked if any of the
residences had made plans
for a Homecoming display.

Alumnae Opinions . . .
Security Cited
Fear of theft is the basic
reason for three alumnae
corporation boards' refusal to
endorse the senior key sys
tem, according to alumnae of
Alpha Phi, Alpha Xi Delta
and Kappa Delta sororities.
The President of the Alpha
Phi house corporation board,
Mrs. Ralph Reed, maintained
that the key system has not
proved successful on some
campuses and that the Alpha
Phi alumnae want the Uni
versity's system to be tested
before they subscribe to it.
"I feel the security prob
lem is the one factor about
which most of our alumnae
group feel very strongly,"
Mrs. Reed continued.
Tiemaim

Gubernatorial candidate
Norbert Tiemann Thursday
laid the blame for the Uni
versity's budgetary shortage
squarely on the shoulders of
the "leadership of the state
of Nebraska."
Tiemann said the Univer
sity has been forced to ask
for a 98 per cent increase
in state appropriations be
cause "the executive branch
of the state of Nebraska has
refused to exercise the lead
ership needed to provide suf
ficient funds for the Univer
sity, at least in the last
three bienniums.
Overflow Crowd
In a speech before an over
flow crowd of 240 students
jammed into the Nebraska
Union auditorium for the
first Young Republican meet
ing of the year, Tiemann as
serted that of the "billions
and billions of dollars fun
neled out of the federal gov
ernment" to state schools for
research, "Nebraska receives
only one half of one per cent."
Tiemann indicated that the
reason for the lack of federal
research dollars flowing into

Representatives of two
dorms, Fedde and Burr East,
said their residences had al
ready decided not to h a v e a
displays. The Selleck repre
sentatives seemed to oppose
the idea of Homecoming dis
plays. Ted Suhr of Selleck said
that a motion favoring a Home
coming display had been in
troduced at Selleck house
meetings last week. An ex
tremely close vote had been
taken at the meetings this
week, Suhr said.
On a questionnaire d i s t r i
buted at the beginning of the
year barely half said yes to
building the displays. .

"Our decision pertains on
ly to this year," Mrs. Reed
added, "and after the system
is out of the experimental
stage I'm sure the issue will
rise again."
Mrs. Reed said the alum
nae chapter could have been
better orientated with the op
erational procedures of t h e
senior key system.
"I don't feel the system has
been very well explained,"
Mrs. Reed said, "and we
would welcome any AWS rep
resentative to come before
our chapter and explain the
system in more detail."
Mrs. Joyce Hecht, a mem
ber of the Alpha Xi Delta
advisory board and building
Criticizes Leadership,
Budgetary Increases
Nebraska is due to the lack
of research capacities con
centrated in the state univer
sitics. "Tlie key to the future of
the state lies in the area of
research," he said.
When questioned by report
ers following the speech,
Tiemann said he feels the
members of the Legislature
received the announcements
of the University's budget re
quest "with a great amount
of trepidation."
Legislators Surprised
"I'm sure they (state sen
ators) were all quite mildly
surprised," Tiemann said.
"If the university budget can
be explained satisfactorily
and the needs pointed out
I'm sure the Legislature will
go along" with the request,
he said.
Commenting on recent
statements by Sen. Clifton
Batchelder of Omaha, Tie
mann said he believes that
the "crisis" condition at the
University "wasn't purposely
created, it was a matter of
circumstances, the University
had nothing to do with it."

of jazz. In 1927, Hines joined Louis Arm
strong's orchestra in Chicago and it was
during this time that he made a name
for himself by accenting the sound of
Armstrong's horn with the piano.
During the 1930's and IMO's. Hines
colleagues included such names as vocal
ists Billy Eekstine and Sarah Vaughn,
trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Jonah
Jones, trombonist Trummy Young and
saxophonists Budd Johnson and
Charlie Parker.
In 1948 he rejoined Armstrong's All
Star combo with Jack Teagarden, "Big
Sid" Catlett and Barney Bigard for a
series of one-nighlers.
Hines professional life entered a new
phase In 1904 when he gave three concerts
at the Little Theatre in New York City.
Since then his records have been selling
rapidly and he has performed many
concerts.
Count Basic recently said of him,
"Why, Earl can go on for 90 years and
never be out of date. You get bruised
running up against a cat like that."
Variety magazine said of Hines' re
vival, "Earl Hines, after several decades,
retains hS place as the foremost pianist
on the jazz scene."
he thought the residences
should spend their money on
an activity or something of
more lasting value than just
one weekend.
"If one-third of the resi
dents are willing to build a
display, it's my feeling that
you owe it to them to build
a display," Ludwig said.
The question of group pic
tures in the Cornhusker was
also discussed at the IDCC
meeting.
"If the dorms are to have
group pictures in the Corn
husker, the IDCC will have to
exert a large amount of pres
sure through all the dorms,"
Ludwig said.
The Cather executive coun
cil had already talked about
having group pictures, he

In
corporation, stated that thefts
on other campuses which
have the key system alienat
ed their group to the con
cept of a similar system at
the University.
"We are still remaining open-minded
about the issue,"
Mrs. Hecht emphasized, "and
if the system is successful we
may reverse our decision."
Mrs. Jean Jackson, presi
dent of the Kappa Delta
house corporation board, cit
ed thefts at Iowa State Uni
versity as one of their rea
sons for distrusting the senior
key system.
Soon after a key system
was installed at Iowa State,
losses totaling $2,000 in cash
Batchelder's statement was
that the "crisis" condition the
University administration
gave as reasons for the need
for a great increase in funds
from the Legislature was
"purposely created by the
management of the Univer
sity" to gain more funds.
tiemann told the students
that, if elected, he and his
administration "will within
reasonable bounds achieve
educational excellence includ
ing the building of a great
research center."
The candidate also stated
that he hopes to implement
a program of "part time sum
mer work in state govern
ment" for the "young people
of the state."
The program, Tiemann con
tinued, will hopefully create
a "reserve of future gover
nors and senators and con
gressmen" for the state.
State Taxes
Turning to a discussion of
the state tax structure, Tie
mann said he would favor a
"broad based combination
income tax and sales tax" be
passed by the Legislature if
the income tax is axed by
the voters in the November
8 elections.
Tiemann said the "polls say
the voters will vote against
the Income tax." The tax Is
on the ballot in the form of
a referendum petition. It was
passed by the Legislature's
1965 session. The state prop
erty tax is also on the bal
lot in the form of a constitu
tional amendment asking for
Us repeal
"I'd like to have the stale
completely out of the property
tax field," Tiemann declared.

Boost Participation
Group pictures would en
courage more residents to
have yearbook pictures taken.
The expense would be borne
by the dorms with little or no
expense to the stud'-s.
"The rating the Cornhusker
receives for not having group
pictures is very important to
them but meaningless to us."
Ludwig said.
Anderson volunteered as
chairman to investigate the
cost of having group pictures
taken of all the residents.
"I would not suggest any
who wanted individual pic
tures to go along with the
group for group pictures,"
Ludwig said.
