The Goal: $2,300
A UK's campus Ked Cross war fund drive
Logins today.
The goal, $2..100, is large enough to necessi
tate a 50 percent increase over last year in
the amount contributed by individuals, lie
cause Tassels and the university student pub
lications have offered block sums is no rea
son for any student to feel that he has been
relieved of his responsibility to make a per
sonal donation.
Too many of us are apt to consider the l?ed
Cross drive only in its narrower sense the
drive on the campus, the friends who are
giving speeches, the signs on billboards and
in downtown windows. We consider our do
nations only as a coke given up or a package
of cigarets foregone. We have been trained
to think this way. Kor years, those who plan
a drive have said that students must be shown
that the gift means only the sacrifice of a
movie or a. magazine at any rate, something:
small that will hardly be missed.
The question is not, and never has been,
the attitude of w who give; it is the effect
on those who receive. The Red Cross can
teen unit serving coffee and doughnuts to
American boys in Italy, workers establishing
rest camps in the Pacific area, officials slicing
constantly at the red tape of international law
to secure the best possible treatment for pris
oners of war . . . these things cannot be meas
ured in cokes and movies forfeited by those
at home. They can be measured only in ap
preciation and thanks offered by the boys
themselves.
We would, all of us, join our boys on the
battlefields of the world if it were possible.
Hut we olhi only send a substitute the Ked
Cross worker who does those things he would
do for him, gives him the small luxuries he
misses. And 20, 50, 100 cokes are not too
much to give for the privilege of sending our
service men a glimpse of home.
Quotable Quotes
(By Associated Collegiate Press.)
''When glibly we talk of postwar reconstruction
on the basis of international economic and po
litical agreements we do well to remember, let us
say, the Nine Power pact to outlaw war, a solemn
agreement entered into by some rations that had
not the slightest intention to keep faith. That can
happen again unless in this new day that is ap
proaching we can build spiritual relationships that
parallel and reinforce international agreements.
This is a spiritual undertaking, a mission to help
develop and establish a code of international ethics,
f righteousness and good will. President Hugh
Clark Stuntz of Scarritt college, Nashville, Tenn.,
makes the point that neither economics nor politics
is sufficient to hold the world together.

tKdilor' note: Thin ia the nixth In the
vertex ef article ia the antventlly bulletin
of poMwar plan for IN which wan pre
pared by Ihe rhanerllor a family advisory
committee, Ihe administrative roanfll f
dean, and Ihe board of rerent. It I
hoped by the Nehramkan that I he v ar
ticle may aceaalnt the pnhlfe with the
university need for more adequate appro
priation). Given adequate (not luxurious)
housing and equipment for teach
ing and research, the most impor
tant factor in making a university
truly great in its performance is
the quality of the facility. Too
much stress cannot be laid on this
factor. There is more imperative
and continuous need for wisdom
and discrimination on the part of
administrative officers in the se
lection and periodic advancement
of faculty personnel in rank and
salary than in any other phase of
university administration.
With adequate funds for facultv
salaries over a period of years,
poor administration is the only
major factor that can militate
against the attainment of high
standing by a university. This
has been demonstrated in Several
institutions that have, and in oth
ers that have not, achieved great
ness.
Not All Achieve Greatness.
No university today has in its
higher professional ranks only
men who have achieved greatness,
and in its lower instructional po
sitions only young staff members
who have fine potentialities for
greatness. In all universities it
is merely a matter of the number
and percentage of great and po
tentially great men. For example,
Harvard university, the University
of Chicago and the University of
California are outstandingly
great because they have the larg
est number and percentages of
great men. These institutions did
not become great all at once, but
only after a long period of wise
use of larger than average re
sources in the careful selection
and promotion of faculty members.
Greatness in an institution,
once attained, tends to attract and
to stimulate the development of
greatness in its men. Even Har
vard, Chicago and California today
have some "duds" (staff members
once judged to be promising but
who failed to develop as hoped);
but they have fewer "duds" than
have most other universities.
Flow and Ebb of Fortune.
As the tide of financial fortune
of a university such as the Univer
sity of Nebraska periodically ebbs
and flows, the guiding principles
of administrative officers must
remain constant. These principles
are: (1) to use whatever resources
are available to reward excellence
of performance; (2) to refuse to
reward mediocre performance;
and (3) to deal effectively with
problems and instances of poor
performance. The final judgment
in each instance must be based
upon group consultations among
several persons who know the
facts, and not upon the judgment
of a single individual who may not
know all the facts, who may act
on intuition alone, or who may be
motivated by personal bias.
