By now, the fight for CCWPIAUNL was
taking its toll on Max. As a sociologist,
he never had encountered stress before,
and it was beginning to affect his job
performance. Nonetheless, early the next
month, he appeared in front of a special
subcommittee of the Nebraska Legislature.
After taking a loyalty oath, Max ex
plained his idea. Afterward, committee
member Howard Peterson of Grand Island
took him to task.
"Courtesy Counts, huh? When I was
them college kids' age, courtesy didn't
amount to a bucket of spit. It was sur
vival of the fittest. You're kinda scrawny
for a university professor, ain't you?
You're one of them Arts & Sciences
varmints, ain't you?"
Eventually, the committee approved
the CCWPIAUNL measure, 7-0, after
Max made a last-minute concession to
print the signs with a red background.
("To honor them Cornhuskers, bucka
roo," Sen. Peterson suggested.)
And soon, the signs were all around
campus. But it was too late for Max
(the one pronounced 'mocks'). The weeks
of dealing with the bureaucracy turned
out to be too much for him, ironically.
Now he's in that great sociology depart
ment in the sky, where everybody's a
functionalist.
So, remember next time you're cheer
fully turned away from the Scholarship
and Financial Aids 0f flee: A sociologist
died for your courtesy.
Obscene 'jesture'...

"But then I saw signs taped to the
sides of the cars that said, 'Jews Are
Killers.' I got heated. I am not a reli
gious Jew, in fact I am not religious at
all, but I just couldn't sit by and watch
signs that said all Jews are killers. So I
got up, held my left hand up and I ex
tended my middle finger. They were
making their protest and I was making
mine."
Roth politely refused when a cop
walked over and told him to stop it.
So the cop called for a backup car and had
Roth handcuffed, arrested and charged.
The worst that can happen to Roth is
a fine of from $5 to $500, though he
doesn't think he should be prosecuted at
all.
"They had their free speech and I had
mine," Roth said. "But I do apologize to
those people who were just genuinely
there to mourn. I didn't mean to insult
them, only those with the signs."
Considering that in 25 minutes of
mutual insults, nobody got hurt. I think
Roth may have accidentally hit on a
solution to the Mideast-problem.
Both sides could line up, make rude
gestures at each other and then go home
feeling satisfied.
