After the Shouting . . .
Sometime within the next year or two
it will all be over. The fellows in khaki, blue
and forest green will don tweed sports coats,
sweaters and cords, striped socks and mo
cassins and return to our campuses. Return
to our campuses but not as the breezy pre
war model college man we've known. What
can we offer these? What do they want
from college?
Time marches on. We can't set the hands
back to 1940. The fellows returning to our
campuses will have lived two, or three or
four years in a world quite different from
the somewhat erratic, leisurely campus
world. They will have been forced to grow
up in a hurry. Their sense of values will
have undergone drastic revisions.
What do they want from college? Be
low is one serviceman's viewpoint.
The war isn't over yet. It may be some
time before it is, but it will end. And when
it does there will be thousands of college
age boys coming home, coming home to
either finish or start their advanced educa
tion. It will be different, quite different,
and a long cry from the 1940 model of
carefree Joe College. These boys won't be
"boys," either in mind or body. They will
be as different as a 19-year-old high school
letterman and a 19-year-old holder of the
DFC. Are the American universities pre
pared to meet and understand these "new"
students? It is doubtful.
The former college man will be impatient
to get back into the swing of things anx
ious to forget what has gone before. He is
going to want his own way. He will want
to feel free. He has been told what to do
long enough it was necessary then. He
had physics crammed into him when he
wanted to study Shakespeare. He studied
engineering when he wanted to be a lawyer.
He did setting-up exercises when he wanted
tc pack a football before a cheering crowd.
Call him temperamental if you wish, but
remember that war is a touchy business.
No, don't give him a blank check and ex
pect him to fill it out to his own taste and
still end up a success; that wouldn't work
either. Remember two things: he isn't still
wet behind the ears, "and he has given up
his beloved individualism for the good of
all. Develop his individualism and treat
him like a man.
College can and must answer these two
things. Our universities can be an excellent
place for the young veteran to regain his
feeling of "existing" again. He may never
graduate knowing the formula for hypo
clorous acid, but he will know the formula
cf a happy and normal life. If it were that

Dear Editor,
May I extend you my thanks for the Nebraskan

what an effect it had on me. Your kindness is
appreciated and the reaction of the university

reassuring factor. I trust that we have not
disappointed you.

An excellent example of wise
policy in the use of funds with de
liberate and wise discrimination is
found in several universities in the
expenditures of library funds for
the development of research col
lections. Many universities recognize that
they cannot hope to develop staff,
library and laboratory resources
for advanced research and award
of high-class Ph. D. degrees in
all fields; hence they deliberately
concentrate on the development of
the necessary resources for dis
tinctive scholarship and truly
worthy advanced degrees in a
limited number of fields, while in
other fields of the arts, lieratures
and sciences they attempt to pro
vide staff and equipment only for
good undergraduate and master's
degree programs.
Such a policy is wise because
it is better for an institution to
be known as one that does very
creditably what it attempts to do
that to be known as one that
spreads its resources over too
large a range of activities with
the result that its performance is
of poor quality in all fields. The
number of fields in which a uni
versity can award creditable doc
tor's degrees is in direct ratio with
its financial resources for staff,
housing and equipment.
On this score the university can
not be justly charged with poor
administration, because the re
sponsible administrative officers
for several years have given care
ful consideration to the number
and designation of departments in
which they have staff and equip
ment necessary to award defens
ible master's and doctor's degrees.
In the case of the former the
number of departments is none too
small for a university of our type
and size.

Civilians Give
Blood to Bank
At St. Elizabeth
Civilian students will now be
eble to give their Mood to be made

hospital Wood bank under the war
council sponsored blood drive. The
first group of three will donate
Wednesday morning, March 22 at
(s a. m.
Due to the limited facilities, both
Ir. spare and personnel, the hospi
tal will be unable at the present
to accommodate more than three
donors a week, according to Miss
Craee Otis, hospital technician.
Previously only military students
have donated blood under the uni
versity drive.
Ai.yone desiring to go to the
blood bank should contact Mary-
louise Goodwin, drive chairman,
thru the Nebraskan office. War
council representatives are taking
the names of organization mem
bers who desire to give their blood
and these people will be called
upon in turn. Alpha Chi Omega
will furnish the first three civilian
donors under the new war coun
cil university blood donning drive.
