Crib regular, Armstrong, departing
for greener European fie Ids
By Sue Pettey
Nebraskan Staff Writer
The Nebraska Union Crib will lose
one' of its more stimulating regular
inhabitants when guitarist Charlie
Armstrong leaves Lincoln for Europe
in June.
The talented musician who
originated the popular Carabet pro
ductions ahd has become a friend to
many students at the University, said
that he doubts he will relocate in Lin
coln when he returns.
As on so many other days, Charlie
sat down with a cup of coffee and his
pipe to talk of the Carabets,
University life, education, success and
the future.
In evaluating the four Carabets
produced this year, Armstrong said
that he knew the productions have
been an effective medium or the peo
ple wouldn't have kept coming back.
He observed that ther Is a lack of
satire about world affairs and even
ordinary aspcts of living, and that
things are taken too seriously
sometimes. Cabarets have fulfilled the
function of satirizing sacred cows and
making some people skeptical of value
plati tides.
Armstrong believes that each in
dividual Cabaret had its own impact
on the University community. The
first Cabaret left everyone with a good
feeling, he said.
The Hate Week Cabaret was
followed by a draft card burning at
Hyde Park and the great snowball
debacle, he said. International stu
dents united at Hyde Park to protest
their status in the week following the
International Cabaret. There have
been no signs of reaction to the
Renaissance Cabaret, according to
Armstrong, but the final production
had significance through its faculty
participation.
Armstrong praised the faculty who
decided to partifipate and their desire
to be a part of the campus life around
them, rather than play the teacher
student game which is too prevalent in
the academic community.
Since Cabarets fulfill a role in let
ting people relax, let their hair down,
and have fun criticizing the world
around them, Armstrong believes that
they will have a future at the
University after he has gone.
University freshman Bobbe McGee
will take . the responsibility for
organizing fiuure cabarets Armstrong
emphasized that power is needed to
persuade performers to participate in
Cabarets, since there is no economic
power involved.
He requested that anyone Interested
in participating in future productions
leave their name in the Union pro
gram office. .
Charlie said that his regular
residence In the Crib is an outgrowth
of his undergraduate days at the
University, when there was nothing
else to do. His daily visits to campus
have become a habit, and he enjoys
his University associations simply
because, as Charlie said "I like peo
ple." The University of Nebraska offers
special advantages to students, ac
cording to Armstrong, because "You
can get yourself outclassed almost
anywhere else." The University is
small enough to try new things which
can then have widespread Impact, but
not big enough that there are so many
people doing so many different things
that nothing is new.

His long associations with the
academic community have given him
some definite ideas on the area of
learning. Armstrong believes that an
educated man is one who . knows
something about a lot of things and
one who is able to understand the
contradictions in this world.
He must not be too specialized in his
field of learning, and he must have a
"believability gap", which Armstrong
terms "an enlightened agnosticism
about anything."
An educated man can always see
the other side of the coin and the gray
in between the black and white of
issues. "The type of individual who
believes with ferocity that the U.S.
should get out of Vietnam and who
condemns our involvement there as
immoral, cannot see the moral and
moral sides of our position," and Is
not an educatel man.
Armstrong attributed open min
dedness to curiosity and a good dose of
skepticism about anything anyone
says. He said that it is skepticisim

which enables one to see the folly and
stupidity of people.
Armstrong noted that the cultured
man is basically different from the
educated man in that the cultured
man is extremely humanistic in his
values. The educated man is in
terested primarily in fact, but the
cultured man goes beyond those facts
to the people behind them.
Charlie said that the greatest thing
he learned from his education was the
process of how to learn. He called this
skill the most important thing college
professors can teach their students,
especially in such general fields as
arts and sciences. He observed that
once people know how to learn on
their own, they will go on in
dependently to amass knowledge.
His work with th Cabaret produc
tions have influenced Charlie in his
ideas concerning success. He has
found that "the only way to succeed is
through sheer gutsy determination."
He added that the determination must
be evidenced In peaceful, reasonable
means, "or you're selling yourself
down the river."
People must always act on their
own in order to achieve success,
because "people who have to act in a
group are moral cowards." Using
Rush Week as an example, Armstrong
said that one girl by herself wouldn't
yell cheers because she would feel like
an ass. But when all the others in her
elite company are yelling and making
asses of themselves, it's all right, he
said.
Armstrong is leaving Lincoln to
spend the summer in Europe because
he is tired of what he calls "second
hand" knowledge. Much information
about other peoples and places is
gleaned from maps and books, but on
that level it is impersonal and a bar
rier to relevance.
Charlie believes that many concepts
such as the Berlin crisis are not really
Important to people because the
situations are not personal and im
mediate. He laments the fact that
people just don't care when "They're
not your troubles and your joys."
Several options are open to Charlie
when he completes his European tour,
and chances are that he will not
return to Lincoln to live. His reasons
for leaving are principally economic,
because Lincoln presents limited op
portunities for musicians.

No matter where he goes, Charlie
said he will maintain a correspon
dence with University people to share
with them new viewpoints and new
ideas for Cabarets. He is sure to take
with him warm memories of the many
students who have come to know him,
and the thanks of countless others for
the hours of pleasure provided by his
Cabarets.
