Paid, But All Agree on Necessity of Increase
BY SARAH MURRY.
The R Street Inter-fraternity
Ball is still the topic of much dis
cussion . . . Frat Sweetheart Helen
Goodwin, Theta was in her glory
with Delt Gordie Ehlers . . . May
be the Theta pledge stay-in night
had something to do with some
of the surprising dates. Beta Roger
Stuart was with Mary Lancaster
. . . Phi Gam Bill Berner was do
ing the rounds with Kappa Helen
Hummel . . . once strong going
twosome, Phi Delt David McShane
and Kappa Sally Stebbins, were
together again . . 'Little twin"
of the Alpha Chi Lathoms was
with Delt Hugh Allen . . .
Fiji Bracelets.
The Phi Gams gave their gals
gold bracelets with the Fiji crest.
Phi Gams much in their glory
were Dick Dilsaver with Gamma
Phi Jinx Hahns, Don Hendrickson
and Kappa Martha Aitken, Gordon
Rouze with D. G. Jean Douglas,
Vaughn Gaddis and Gamma Phi
Ginny Hamilton, Lee Gartner witlj
D. G. Marolyn Hartsook, and oh
so many more.
Billy Gayer represented the
ATO's with Theta B. J. Latta and
Beta Bob Hicks was doing like
wise with D. G. Janet Krause. Al
pha Phi Marge Olsen and Phi Gam
Bill Scheurick were taking in
everything . . . Gamma Phi Elaine
Asmussen was looking right nice
with Beta George Miller. ATO
pledge Sid Wells and Beta Tom
Burton got so desperate they im
ported their respective sisters for
the big occasion. D. G. Nancy
Garey was with Phi Gam Don
Baker while brother Andy Beshore
and D. G. Elly Detweiler seemed
to have eyes only for each other.
The biggest surprise of the eve
ning was Sigma Nu Noggin Chapin
with Kappa Ruth Korb.
Stead or Not.
This business of going teady
had its ups and downs . . Just
when Tau Chick Neal and Pi Phi
Jan Swartzer are supposedly go
ing strong, they break up. Can't
gay the same for Ware Christian
kon and Alpha Phi Joan Bauer
. . . They can be seen at any old
time out in front of the dorm in
the blue convertible.
The Zips and the Pi Phis got to
gether for an evening excussion
this . week end. Sue Cochran,
Kathy Legge, and Jean Compton
were the gals and their respective
dates were Bob Green, Phil Mun
son, and Bob Krans . . . Hicking
to another spot the same night
were Thetas Corky York with
Sigma Nu Tex Cole and Joan
Boher with Sig Alpha Stein, and
Kappas Irene Dunnel wjth Phi
Psi Pete Foe and Mary Jean
Fisher with Motor Wilson, Zip.
A new way of being pinned was
accomplished by Beta Sigma Psi
Virgil Dissmeyer. Not only did he
give Twila Boone HIS pin but he
is wearing her Delta Omicron pin.

even more than steady gal Theta

Taking in the opera Friday night
were Sigma Nu Sam Warren with
Alpha Chi Audrey Ernst and of
course always showing their faces
in the prominent places were Kap
pa Joan Frankhauser and Sig Chi
John Bell.
Few university students have
more than a vague idea 01 now
much monev their Drofessors are
receiving, where the money comes
from or how much is needed 10
live in comparative comfort today,
according to questions asked of
random students.
Most nf those anDroached were
in favor of an increase in salary
for the teaching stall, it is ap
parent that in bull sessions the
issue has been argued but the
argument is summarized by Bev
erly Uhlir.
No Argument.
"There doesn't seem to be any
argument," she said. "We all
agree that they should get more
money, so there isn't much to talk
about. It isn't a heated subject
right now.
As evidenced by the hearing
held by the appropriation com
mittee of the unicameral legisla
ture, however, the subject is
heated as far as professors are
concerned. They have become
more or less resiened to the sal
ary situation during the years
since 193J, when all university
employes took a 22 V2 percent cut.
This has never been restored.
Cost of Living.
Carolyn Koehne pointed out
that the higher cost of living has
brought raises to almost every
class of workers, but the academic
field has apparently been sup
posed to live on its aesthetic ca
pabilities. '
Agreeing with Miss Koehne,
Annette Jacobs stated that facul
ty members have not been fully
rewarded, asserting, "If we are
Lt. M. Butcher,
Naval Officer,
Arrives Home
Lt. (j.g.) Mason Butcher, naval
radar officer with a carrier based
squadron, is spending a 31 -day
leave with his wife and parents,
Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Butcher.
Involved in 24 months of action
in the Pacific area including two-
Philippine invasions at Leyte and
Lingayen gulf, Lieutenant Butcher
was with a carrier task force.
His campaign ribbons showed
three stars for th Philippine lib
eration campaign, in addition to
American defense.
Lieutenant Butcher graduated
from the university as a civil
engineer in 1936, going to work
with the Nebraska department of
roads and irrigation. Attending
Yale university for two years," he
returned to the state highway de
partment as assistant traffic en
gineer until entering the navy
March 6, 1943. He took radar
training at Harvard university
and Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
The lieutenant will report back
to the west coast for re-assignment

supposed to be getting the best
in higher education, the men who
teach us should be getting the
best in salary. It just doesn't
make sense to let the talented
leaders go to another state which
can pay them better."
Keep Good Men.
As pointed out by Mary War
ing, the university seems to, be
realizing that it must pay more
in order to keep its good men.
Sons and daughters of faculty
members, who have been raised
with less of a financial start than
the average business man's child,
do not like to be quoted, but they
agree that their fathers chose a
field which pays well in respec
tability and intellectual accom
plishments but not in more mun
dane matters such as money.
The attitude predominating
among university students is ex
pressed by Charis Wells when
she says: "I think they should

of living, the faculty w'ill have
to be paid more. They have to
eat, too."

Drake U Grad.
Dr. Finegan is a graduate of
Drake university, Colgate-Rochester
Divinity school, and the Uni
versity of Berlin, where he re
ceived his doctor's degree. He has
traveled widely and is a .con
tributor to many professional
journals. "Dr. Finegan was se
lected for his ability to present
his views clearly and simply and
for his skill in conducting student
discussions," said Rev. Drew.
A limited number of personal
conferences with Mr. Finegan may
be arranged through Rev. Drew or
the speaker himself.
Rev. Finegan will also speak
at noonday services at Saint Paul
church at 12:15 throughout the
week. Jointly sponsoring his visit
here are the Religious Welfare
Council and the Lincoln Minis
terial association.
Intelligence tests show that five
out of every 1,000 public school
children have an I.Q. of at least
140 which some psychologists be
lieve indicates "genius or near
genius," Dr. Paul A. Witty, pro
fessor of education and director
of the psycho-educational clinic
at Northwestern university, stated
recently in a book on "Elemen
tary Educational Psychology,"
just off the press.
