Aftermath
By MICK LOW3
Senior Staff Writer
It was a tough act to fol
low. The Cornhuskers had
just dropped their first
game of the season, and
-most students switched
from radio and brawn to
television and brains in
hopes that the University
College Bowl team could
salvage what was already
a long afternoon.
But it got longer as the
University team was beat
en by the University of Wis
consin at Milwaukee 240 to
95. They were never ahead,
and the Milwaukee team
finished w i t h a burst of
heavy scoring.
If the Nebraska team ap
peared slightly confident at
the beginning of the match,
Jt was because they had
beaten UWM three times in
practive matches.
WON IN PRACTICE
"The kids won three out
of four matches," observed
coach James Roberts.
"They just lost the one that
counted."
"They won two close
matches, and beat Wiscon
sin overwhelmingly in the
third," Roberts said.
The Quiz Bowl team did
not appear too disappointed
with the defeat. Their TV
appearance had not been
widely publicized, there
was little commotion at the
airport as they left, and
they went with the idea of
"just having a great week
end in New York," in the
words of Larry Grossman,
a team member.
RETURN TO CAMPUS
But they still had to re
turn to a campus full of
people who recognized the
pictures of the Tinkers-to-Evers

them) and people who

"T h e consensus seems
to be," laughed John Sim
mons, "that we really
weren't so smart after all."
Captain Jim Allard said
that an amazing number of
people have been speaking
to him on the streets in the
last few weeks, and one
team member said that
his girl's sorority sisters
who had never showed
much interest in him be
fore, started asking her all
of a sudden "how she man
aged to catch me."
GROOVY WEEKEND
Still, they came back
from New York with more
knowledge than when they
left. Linda Marchello said
that she spent a "groovy"
weekend visiting art gal
leries in the Manhatten
area, and Dave Landis, the
team alternate, has learn
ed to check the menu for
prices before ordering.
Landis was forced to
leave his coat in the Vil
lage Gate as "collateral"
when he ordered a drink
that cost about twenty-five
cents more than he had
with him.
"I wandered around the
streets for about ten min
utes until I ran into Allard
and Simmons who loaned
me the money I needed.
The drink wasn't that good,
either," Landis concluded.
MANHATTAN HIKE
The team invaded New

The program is one of a
series of the Contempor

by the Music Department
in 1955. According to Rob
ert Beadell, professor of
music, the series focuses on
twentieth century innova
tions. Beadell said that, often,
definite advancements in
the field of music appear
as gimmicks to laymen,
since the ear of tb ")m
poser is usually about 50
years ahead of the ear of
the laymen.
Electronic Music, said
Beadell, is not a new the

withing the past ten years
and has reached the posi
tion of a valid approach to
a new dimension in the
field of music.

WACO, Texas (CPS) - A
student committee and the
administration at Baylor
University are investigat
ing the death of a student
who had been participating
in an initiation rite held by
one of the university's ser
vice clubs.
John Everett Clifton, 19,
died early last Tuesday of
. what the official autopsy
report described as "aspir
ational asphixiation."
His death was linked to
the initiation procedures of
the club he was pledging,
which included drinking a
mixture of five laxatives
and garlic, and then doing
calisthenics.
The secret initiation took
place at a farm five miles
from Baylor.
PRESTIGE
Clitfon's club, the Baylor
Chamber of Commerce, is
one of several on campus.
Some of them are purely
social clubs and others are
service clubs.
The Chamber is the old
est and most prestigious of
the latter. It was one of the
clubs cited by Baylor Presi
dent Abner McCall as not
cooperating with the uni
versity's ban on hazing.
The president said that in
spite of the ban, "some of
the men's clubs have main
tained some of the milder
aspects of the initiation such
as calisthenics and the
drinking of distasteful con
coctions." LAXATIVE
He indicated that the uni
versity plans to enforce the
regulations governing haz
ing more rigorously in the
future.
According to Tommy
Kennedy, co-editor of the
Baylor Lariat, the Chamber
has a printed sheet setting
forth its hazing procedures,
which has been confiscated
by the Waco police.
Kennedy said the proced
ures included the following:
Consumption of onions,
garlic and salt and pepper
sauce and the smoking of
cigars by pledges.

Then the pledges were to

It was during one of the
calisthenics sessions that
Clifton collapsed.
In the report issued after
his death, Justice of the
Peace Joe Johnson said
Clifton "drowned in his own

1731 "O'
On Campus
(By the author of "Rally Round Ihe Flag, Boys!",
"Dobie GiUis," elc.)
THERE ARE NO BAD TEACHERS;
THERE ARE ONLY BAD STUDENTS
The academic year has only just begun and already
one thing is clear : you're not ready for college.
What, then, should you do? Should you throw up your
hands and quit? I say no ! I say you must attack, grapple,
cope! I say America did not become the world's leader in
motel construction and kidney transplants by running
away from a fight!
To the question then : You say you're not ready for col
lege. You're too green, too naive. You lack maturity.
Okay, the answer is simple: get mature. How? Well
sir, to achieve maturity you need two things :
a) a probing mind;
b) a vest.
A probing mind will be quickly yours if you'll remem
ber that education consists not of answers but of ques
tions. Blindly accepting information and dumbly
memorizing data is high school stuff. In college you don't
just accept. You dispute, you push, you pry, you chal
lenge. If, for instance, your physics prof says, "E equals
mc squared," don't just write it down. Say to the prof,
"Why?"
This will show him two things :
a) Your mind is a keen, thrusting instrument.
b) You are in the wrong major.
Ask questions, questions, and more questions. That is
the essence of maturity, the heart and liver of education.
Nothing will more quickly convince the teachers that you
are of college calibre. And the tougher your questions,
the better. Come to class with queries that dart and flash,
that make unexpected sallies into uncharted territory.
Ask things which have never been asked before, like
"How tall was Nietzsche?" and "Did the Minotaur have
ticks? If so, were they immortal?" and "How often did
Pitt the Elder shave?"
(Incidentally, you may never know the complete an
swer to Pitt the Elder's shaving habits, but of one thing
you can be positive: no matter how often he shaved and
no matter what blades he used, he never enjoyed the
shaving comfort that you do. I am assuming, of course,
that you use Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, a
logical assumption to make when one is addressing col
lege men-which is to say men of perspicacity, discrimi
nation, wit, taste, cognizance, and shrewdness-for
Personna is a blade to please the perspicacious, delight
the discriminating, win the witty, tickle the tasteful,
coddle the cognizer, and shave the shrewd.
(I bring up Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades be
cause the makers of Personna Super Stainless Stsel
Blades pay me to write this column, and they are in
clined to sulk if I omit to mention their product. I would
not like to see them unhappy, the makers of Personna,
for they are fine ruddy men, fond of morris dancing and
home brewed root beer, and they make a blade that
shaves closely and cleanly, nicklessly and hacklessly, and
is sharp and gleaming and durable and available both in
double-edge style and Injector style.
(And from these same bounteous blademakers comes
Burma-Shave, regular or menthol, a lather that out
lathers other lathers, brother. So if you'd rather lather
better, and soak your whiskers wetter. Burma-Shave's
your answer.)
But I digress. We have now solved the problem of
maturity. In subsequent columns we'll take up other is
sues, equally burning. Since 1953 when this column first
started running in your campus paper, we've tackled
such thorny questions as "Can a student of 19 find hap
piness with an economics professor of 90?" and "Should
capital punishment for pledges be abolished?" and "Are
room-mates sanitary?" Be assured that in this, our 14th
year, we will not be less bold.

with t h e administration,
which is conducting its own
investigation.
The police will not be in
volved in the investigations,
according to C. C. Risen
hoover, director of news
and information at the uni
versity. Risenhoover said
the university has not yet
decided whether or not to
take disciplinary action
against the club's members.
The Chamber of Com
merce is described by non
members as a "secretive,
tightly-knit organization."
Kennedy, who knows sev
eral members, said, "They
are very, very organized,
and they instill the spirit in
their members of wanting to
do anything for the club."
He added, "Its pretty
ironic; their motto is 'Any
thing for Baylor.'"
The club's official duties
on campus include running
the fall, and spring home
coming celebrations and
taking care of the bears
that are the university's
mascots.
