Redneck radices
militant radicals when they felt their wallets thinning
out. The drivers seem to show that the student
radicals eons ago apparently did not have enough
experience, dedication or organization, for if the
students were as "inspired" as the rig jockeys now
are, the Vietnam War probably would have ended in
1S68.
In any event, if the Soviet Union attacks the U.S.,
Washington D.C. may fall but God help the Ruskies if

Dear editor,
Remember, if you can, the student demonstrations
of long ago-the protests, the sit-ins, the marches; and
how furious it made certain segments of our society,
particularly the conservative faction sometimes
referred to as "rednecks". Remember how so many
cheered when Gov. George Wallace said that if a
protester laid down in front of his car, it would 'be
the iast car he'd ever lay down in front of. And now
we have Johnny Cash humoring truck drivers who
block highways with their rigs to protest higher
expenses, and who have already demonstrated their
committment by shooting at fellow drivers who are in
dissension with their pretest.
It's amazing how quickly these former law-abiding

Byzantine board
Dear editor,
Regent Robert Raurs's suggestion that new books
for the University of Nebraska Uw College Library
should be paid for by the donations of attorneys
instead of by the regular university budget was an
insult to the students, administration and faculty of
the university. The idea was another indication of the
contempt and hostility which some regents hold
toward the institution which they were elected to
serve.
It also was another indication of the attitude
toward education in general that continues to pervade
the thinking of the people and the government of the
state: the idea that educatic Is a cost to bo borne
grudgingly, instead of an investment to be made
willingly.'
I was accepted last week for admission to the
University.of Nebraska Law College. Before I make
my decision on whether or not to attend it this fall, I
am going to have to ask myself if I am willing to
ftudy for three years under the authority and
direction of a Byzantine governing body that would
rsthsr sea law students begslng with tin cups in their
hands than see books In their library.
I cannot imagine the students of the University
putting up with something so disgraceful, and I
cannot imagine myself doing so either.

Vicious vending
Dear editor,
I am writing in the interest of those unwary souls
who, like me, occasionally subject themselves to the
whims of our friendly neighborhood vending
machines.
Last Friday I was cruelly attacked by a tuna salad
sandwich and wound up in the hospital with food
poisoning.

rW FACT IS - WE ALL DO.
I am not talking about acquairv
tances. We all have plenty of those.
I am talking about real friends
the do or die kind. We both know
those aren't easy to come by.
In order to establish real friend
ships, we have to make ourselves
available to meet other people, we
have to be willing to work with
other people, and if we expect
other people to appreciate our
ideas, we must be willing to listen
to theirs.
If you hear an acquaintance or
an unknown individual making a
ziztzT.snt y?J Hn't agree with, it
makes little difference. If that per
son were a true friend, you'd make
the time to discuss it with him
thoroughly.
When you have a personal prob
lem to discuss or something to be
happy about, you don't take it to an
acquaintance you take it to a true
friend.
I could go on and on relating
the differences between acquain
tances and friend. r. but you already
know the difference!?. The thing I
want to tell you about is an or
ganization which was founded to
promote honest friendships.
When a group of Boston Univer
sity law students first gathered to
gether in 1 909, they did so because
they were already friends. Hut
when they decided to expand their
fraternity to take in new members
on their own campus and on other
campuses, they did so because
they wanted to share their friend
ship. Because of their belief in the
concept that honest friendships
promote the best in men, over 1 20,
000 individuals have shared their
ica.
A group of acquaintances with
out purpose is called a clique, but
that is where a fraternity is differ
ent. We have proven that the more
a man learns about being a good
fraternity brother, the more he
knows about being a good friend
to his associates outside the
fraternity.
Even though you will make life
long friendships within the frater
nity, you will find that the real
value of the fraternity is learning
how to be a good friend and a pro
ductive member of society.
A fraternity is then a growth in
stitution. It is designed io help
your acquaintances grow, your
friendships grow, and most im
portantly to help you grow a an
individual.
You make many decisions every
day. Choosing to join a fraternity,
and, if so which one, is an impor
tant decision. The only individual
capable of telling you about the
fraternal experience is someone
who has experienced it. Talk to a
r . ua
S 1
about his experience.
I did and I found the frater
nity experience to be extremely
worthwhile.
