"And give me money, that's what I
want a little money child that's what I
want."
These verses might be called the clas
sics of youthful expression in today's com
bo music or the best example of the
youthful expression in today's combo mu
sic or the best example of the youthful
desire today to rebel and have fun.
Regardless of what one calls them the
beat and the sound are unmistakably the
Kingsmen.
On today's college campuses, young
people are besieged by responsibility and
pressure. Schools are no longer a place
to primarily have fun and experience the
world.
Yet the student is still young and as
a result he often' needs some way to ex
press his youthful desire to rebel and
have "devil may care" fun.
It seems in today's world that one of

The Faculty Evaluation Book looks
like it finally will come out.
The book, which was a main project
of last year's ASUN administration, met
many difficulties along the way and often
its chances of ever being published were
slim.
The Daily Nebraskan congratulates
Ladd Lonnquist and the other students
and faculty members who have continued
working on the book for almost a year
now and thanks them for accomplishing
the first step in this project.
But now only the first step has been
finished some type of book with helpful
comments describing approximately 50 in
structors and their style in the classroom
has been published.
The committee who will soon start
work on the next evaluation book will be
expected to go further. The book should

nounced the fall curriculum
for the University of Cali

says the University is now
offering 'a four-year
course in sex, drugs and

So, with the semester
just opening, I dropped
over to Berkeley to see how
.the students were getting
along in these new fields of
study.
Typical, perhaps, was
Miss Flossie Pettibone, a
wide-eyed young coed with
an armload of books.
"I'm majoring in treason
this term," said Miss Petti
bone, a little breathlessly,
"and minoring in drugs."
No sex?

This week students will have a chance
to do what almost every ASUN office and
Senate candidate last spring advocated
direct participation in things that affect
them.
This week the Student Conduct Com
mittee will entertain any student who
wishes to express a gripe or a grievance
which stems from any present policy or
situation at the University. This could in
clude anything from women's hours to
class schedules.
This could be a first in recent Uni
versity history. Never before to my know
ledge have students as a whole had a
chance to be such direct participants in
decisions which could affect them so di
rectly. Your chance to voice your gripes will
come at 4:00 p.m. Sunday in the Union.
This past week I had the opportunity
to talk to many freshman and sophomore
girls who were going through ASUN as
sociate interviews. A common question
was their opinion of a Student Bill of
Rights, and a follow-up question was
whether any of their rights had been vio
lated since coming to the University.
A great number of the girls respond-

should be called in to Investigate this
matter.
This Is a curious situation. AWS has
long had total jurisdiction, and rightly so,
in matters of women's hours. Their work
in this area has been well, shall we say,
rather cautious.
It is time for AWS to throw Victorian
Ideals to the Victorians, and come up to
standards of other Big Eight scrools at
least." If you are under delusions that Ne
braska has about the same regulations on
women as surrounding Universities, just
talk to students from Kansas or Colorado.

It pretends to represent: the women on

Yes . .'.
the few ways young people have left to
show their spirit is in the popular music
they listen to and the way they dance.
The Kingsmen, who will be at the Uni
versity in person Friday nigbt, are the
longtime masters of this type of music
and their songs which are played con
stantly at every dance, are thus one of
the greatest representatives of the youth
ful spirit.
There is no better feeling for a young
person who is constantly busy with many
different things in college then to sudden
ly find himself on the dance floor and
hear the combo playing "Louie, Louie,"
"The Jolly Green Giant," "Money" and
the many other Kingsmen classics.
As the Star Spangled Banner might
be called one of the greatest and most
frequent examples of American patriotism
and love for country, the Kingsmen can
be called the greatest example of "fun"
in today's youth.
the committee has done and the special
care they have taken to make the eval
uations fair, more professors will consent
to being in the book.
We feel it is very interesting as Lonn
quist points out that most of the highly
respected and usually considered fine in
structors easily consented to being in the
book. This doesn't mean that all those
teachers who would not be in the book
have something to hide, necessarily, but
it does suggest that this might be the
case in some instances.
This is a successful project on many
other campuses and the Nebraskan feels
that once this first book is published, all
the faculty members will realize that they
can not really call themselves educators
if they are afraid to be evaluated by their
students.
The Nebraskan encourages every stu
dent and faculty member to purchase one
of the books when they are put on sale
and to support this first stage in the de
velopment of an effective and meaningful
'book that can assist the students and the
faculty.

Doesn't it sound exciting?"
I asked what Miss Petti
bone planned to be when
she graduated.
"Well, I don't know," she
said. "I guess I'd like to
get a job for a while. But
what I really want to be is
a housewife."
And why was she major
ing in treason? "Well, like
I said, sex is a drag and
I'm not too good in drugs
and you've got to major in
something. So my counsel
lor recommended treason.
And I guess it's as good as
anything."
So the students have ad
justed easily to the new
curriculum. And you can
certainly see the value of
such life adjustment
courses as sex and drugs.
But, frankly, I fear Dr.
Rafferty and these other
progressive educationalists
are going too far in placing
such emphasis on treason.
True, it may well broaden
a student's scope, but cer
tainly one function of a uni
versity is to prepare our
youth to earn a living.
So I'd strongly suggest
substituting arc welding.
For, say what you will, the
career opportunities in
treason these days are se
verely limited.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following story
was written for the University of Michi
gan Daily. The Daily Nebraskan does not
feel that it pertains greatly to SDS on this
campus, but it might be used as a de
scription of what can happen to groups
of this type.
You can see them almost any noon
in the diag. They stand there screaming,
sometimes with public address system,
sometimes without.
Tbey tell us it depends on the mood
of the Plant Department. But with or with
out sound, or crowds, they are there: de
nouncing anything and everything.
They are the martyrs of our age. They
are members of Students for a Democrat
ic Society.
They have admirable Ideas freedom
for everyone, abolishment of war, the
draft, President Johnson, the University
bureaucracy and whatever else blows ill
wind through their ivory towers.
They are Intellectuals extremely ar
ticulate, posteriors made for sit-ins, and
hardened soles for marches. Their arms
have the power to carry any plaque. They
are clever, every sign has a "message."

this particular bookstore is
in business because of
Steen's love for books.
As such, the bookstore's
primary aim is to serve the
students and faculty with
the profit motive taking a
back seat.
Steen offers about 500 dif
ferent titles at the present
time with plans calling for
500 new selections within
the month. The selection he
has now covers a wider
range than .ny other store
in town (including those
with thousands of titles.)
It Says
The problem is that they never seem
to accomplish anything. Their meetings
are a maze of discussions, excitement and
witticisms. They have little organization.
A temporary chairman of the group is
about to resign, and thus a new one will
presumably be needed. God only knows
how many hours of shouting go on before
someone is found who will hold the mike.
As stated before they have admirable
ideas but are constantly lamenting t h e
fact that the administration seems to beat
them at the punch. The administration
does so precisely because It is an ad
ministration, one which is organized and
has a long history of accomplishments.
It is a sad fact of our technological
life but organization must be fought by
better and more efficient organization.
And SDS does not appear to be an or
ganizatlon much less an efficient one.
And it's a shame. SDS has the poten
tial of being one of the most meaningful
groups on campus. Its members not only
think, but they think well.
But this potential is hidden in the lu
dicrous atmosphere of their meetings after
or during which many nonmembers leave
in disgust. Maybe, someday, non on the
diag will have been organized; well have
meaning and may produce tangible re
sults. Until then . , .

This is explained partly
in his bookstore code which
reads: "I will sell any book
which is not constitutionally

personally endorse evil

In addition to the wide

known titles that he car
ries, Steen is willing to pro
vide buyers with Banned in
Boston books that no car
rier except the Lincoln Pub
lic Library will handle (ru
mor has it that the library
has a couple copies of Can

flects Steen's attempt to
provide a selection aimed
primarily at students and
faculty while keeping a
good number of famous
books on hand at all times.
Steen has stated that he
is willing to order any pa
perback that a student re
quests and can fill most
orders within a week. Eng
lish majors be grateful! He
also gives a 10 discount
on most paperbacks re
quired for courses and
hopes to handle most of
these required books by sec

"I've always wanted to

"but it took me a long time

Nebraska is poorly situated
(what can we do!) or NU
limply hasn't asked the
right people.
Now I would be the last
person to advocate a re
peat performance by some
of our speakers las year.
If it weren't for ROTC and
journalism students (may
be all departmenst should
require attendance), the
coliseum would have rat
tled with vacant chairs
even more than it did.
If attendance at a Uni
versity convocation is de
pendent almost entirely on
forced participation, it
would seem more econom
ical and effective to chan
nel finances used in secur
ing an unpopular speaker
into some means of assur
ing at least one popular
speaker during the semes
ter. So what's popular?
Certainly not two hours
worth of the national debt
(we can get that on the
Econ 12 tube) or the in
tricacies of mixing fuel for
the Gemini IX. If these are
the only types of speakers
we ask or the only ones
who are willing to come to
Nebraska I owe apologies
to my brother's Bostonian
friends.
I seriously doubt, how
ever, that some of our drier
speakers of past years are
representative of the speak
ers we could get. It would
seem that it is NU's method
more than any other rea
son, that keeps Nebraska
from having not only an en
tertaining, but also a stim
ulating program.
Speakers last year who
were in tune with student
interests (Allan Glnzherg
for one) were strangely
enough the ones with the
best attendance. If there is
any question concerning
whom the students would
like to hear I'm certain a
simple poll would be more
than adequate.
If no such poll or ques
tional has been conducted
in the past, it might be
seriously considered this
year. If students don't care
about the speaker to begin
with, why not spend the
money on more football hel
mets? Sure we've heard of

Skits Bring
Indigestion
Dear Editor,
Homecoming! With its
excitement. With its color.
With its indigestion.
The stomach upset is not
from worrying over a Home
coming display. Or from
trying to be Homecoming
Queen. This gastric condi
tion results from listening
to the Homecoming can
didate skits.
If I sound bitter, it's be
cause I had a bitter taste
in my mouth after eating
Monday night. I dressed up
to eat Monday night dinner
at my fraternity house. It's
one of the most relaxing
moments In Greek living
except when young ladies
enter a mortal struggle for
titles such as Homecoming
Queen, Bat Girl, BMOC,
etc.
Then the meal becomes
mayhem. Being Gentlemen,
you must rise as the female
skit members enter. Up and
down. You get more exer
cise than a P.E. class and
loose weight while you eat.
During the commotion
little things happen. You
sit down and find your tie
dangling In the gravy. You
stand up and knock your
fork on the floor.
The girls in the skits
never see these things.
They're trying to be on
pitch, cool, vivacious,
charming and sexy. And a
lot of them are (Men may
be hungry but they're not
blind). Too bad it's wasted.
Girls don't realize that a
most unappealing appeal is
to appeal to a hungry man
while he is eating.
After all this time and ef
fort In making and listen
ing to a skit, It's senseless.
A skit won't compel you to
vote for a certain girl. Es
pecially since all the candi
dates are charming, beau
tiful, Intelligent and tal
ented, according to the skit.
The deciding factor iJ
knowing a candidate per
sopally or enough to make
a choice. If I don't have
this knowledge I usually
flip a coin. And as I vote I
can't remember one of the
skits or their candidates.
