Sooner, or later, it becomes the duty of every editor to write his last editorial. For many years the editors of the Daily Nebraskan have called it their SWAN SONG. This editor now writes a similar sonnet. The semester 1942-43 has been one of the most interesting in the history of the university. For the first time, the University of Nebraska has been called upon to go all out in a national emergency. This university has responded, but in most cases rather weakly. It is true that many new courses have been es tablished on the campus in line with the national emergency but has this university made enough of a change so that the student body is fully conscious that this is a war college, a war year? Should the university have become more belligerent, set the example for students to follow? Every effort for conversion to the war emergency has come from the students themselves. Every acti vity on the campus has adopted war programs, pro grams which were not as interesting in some cases as peace time plans. Students have organized stamp selling campaigns, post war scholarship funds, scrap drives and other plans for furthering the war program. Perhaps it is not the duty of the university to keep up with its students. At the present time the students are far in advance of the institution itself. The university does not have a technical training unit as yet while schools in this area have had them for many months. This university has not acceler ated its program to the degree that most schools have done. Tliis university has not introduced any radical programs for furthering the effort: Compul sory physical education for men, courses in post war development, or rigid war training. The program offered by the university this semester has been valuable for the students who will return to normal lives following the war. For the student who wants training for the immediate future, namely war training, little has been offered. To pre pare only for the future may prove a weakness for the present. The editor of this paper writes the finale to an interesting semesters work. Special thanks go to his staff, to the many readers who have been co operative and tolerant, and to the faculty members who have helped make a student paper interesting for students. Your Editor.

A new survey made public by the Office of Education shows that 8,000 college and university teach ers 5 of the total dropped from faculty rolls between the fall of 1941 and the beginning of the 1942 school year. The decrease in men teachers amounted to 7.5 while l.ZVo more women took university teaching jobs. The armed forces, and government and war industry jobs absorbed most of the 8,000, the Office of Education reports. Data collected from about half of the institutions of higher learn ing in the country show that publicly-controlled institutions have been hardest hit by the teacher shortage. For example, public controlled junior colleges have lost over 17 of their male teachers. Instructors who have remained at their posts are working longer hours as a result of this shortage, the survey discloses.

She was elected by the couples attending the party. The yearbook states in its write- up of the party that tho the party cost nearly a thousand dol lars it netted a profit of $100 and was considered a very successful affair. An Informal Formal. Traditionally the party has been a formal affair, altho several years either formal or informal dress were acceptable. This year, as are all campus functions, the Prom will be strictly an informal affair. Last year Ann Craft reigned as Prom Girl of 1942 and party goers danced to the tunes of Jimmy Joy's orchestra. The name of the band was not divulged by Jim Selzer, From chairman, until the night of the party. BDOC Boyd MacDougal was also presented at the party. looEts mil STIEJE colleges reported that certain courses have been entirely discon tinued. One hundred and seventy two of the colleges surveyed re ported that they are retaining staff members beyond the usual retirement age, or actually call mg retired professors back into the classrooms. Other Systems. Other procedures for obtaining and keeping teachers reported by more than a hundred schools in clude: Replacing men with women, increasing salaries, ob taining draft deferment for men faculty members, and employing graduate student assistants. The increased burden on their facilities has caused some colleges to put a stop to independent re search and other non-teaching Patterson (Continued from Page 1) Luedtke, and Jeny McKinnsey were selected to these positions to fill vacancies which will be left at the end of this semester. Roland Luedtke has competed in high school contests in the past, and was a member of the fresh men debate squad Miss McKinn sey entered the debate field for the first time as a member of the freshmen debate squad. activities usually carried on by their teachers. A few colleges reported that they are employing part time in structors, increasing the size of classes, reducing academic quali fications for positions, transferr ing teachers to different depart mcnts, alternating and combining courses, securing professional men to teach single courses, and em ploying undergraduates. Of all these methods of combat ing the teacher shortage, the Of fice of Education recommends most highly two of the least fre quently used: Transferring fa culty members from surplus to shortage fields, and securing pro fessional men to teach single courses. These procedures, Office of Education officials point out, are easier on the remaining teach ers, and result In a slighter lower ing of standards than do some of the more frequently used methods.
