The current senatorial controversy over the appointment of David Lilienthal to the post of chairman of the atomic energy commission reminds us of two cases in which his name has been connected with the university. The first was in 1941 when he spoke, as director of the TVA, before a transportation conference sponsored by bizad college. The second was last week when Chancellor Gustavson made public his desire to see Lilienthal appointed to the .chair manship in question. We applaud this move heartily, for even more important than the Chancellor's stand on this particular matter is his attitude that' a university need not hide its head or refuse to -express opinions on topics which have no immediate bearing on college affairs. In the past, when the representatives of the state in Con gress have cast their votes in a direction which brought forth muttered criticism, the university'-kept quiet, fearing that if a word were said either for or against the issue, it would mean slow but sure death. Perhaps it has been this refusal to indicate interest in public affairs which makes the people of Nebraska regard the university as merely a fac tory which drives, or attempts to drive, book education into the heads of students, leaving them to work out the prac tical side of politics by themselves. It has too long been the policy of this university to shy away from disturbing political issues, fearing to use its opinion-creating power. Now that the long-established precedent of silence has been broken, students have an op portunity to know how the administration stands and can conduct themselves accordingly. Expression of an opinion bv the men at the head of the university reveals, in a way, what kind of men they are and how we can expect this institution to be run. As long as we have a chancellor like Dr, Gus, who has a scientific approach, and the ability to consider rainy ootn sides of a question, we can have taitn in iseorasKa s iuture DON-ATIONS BY DON AMSDEN. Budget ... (Continued from Page 1.) perimental fruit farm in Union, Neb. The university also engages in a wide variety of public services which consume about 17 percent of its budget. These services- in clude such activities as the Uni versity hospital in Omaha, the Di vision of -Conservation -and Sur vey, the Extension Division, the Agriculture Extension Service, all of which carry the knowledge ac cumulated by the university to the citizens of the state. s Since the - university is now really a statewide institution with real estate, buildings and equip ment valued at over $15,000,000, 12 percent of the university's budget must be spent to maintain, repair and operate its physical plant. Finally, 5 percent of the budget goes for administrative and. general expenses involved in operating the institution. Folics Tonitc .... (Continued from Page J.)

SDA Charters To Be Granted Universities Charles Sellers of Harvard has been appointed to organize camp us charters in the Midwestern uni versities for the newly-formed Students for Democratic Action, an outgrowth of the United States Student Assembly. . The organization will hold its first national convention in Wash ington March 28-30 to set up a program for independent liberal college students throughout the nation. Dedicated to the task of expanding the nation's program of social legislation, protecting civil liberties and extending the Four Freedoms to all peoples of the world, the new group will not ally with totalitarian repre sentatives. SDA is setting up the organiza tions in conformity with principles of Americans for Democratic Ac tion which is headed by Leon Henderson and Wilson W. Wyatt. AG GRADUATES. Ag Graduate club will meet February 28 in the Faculty lounge at the Union at 8 p .m. All graduate students are welcome. You can say what you like. I'm glad that I'm ancient enough to have gotten in some of my college licks before the war. To be spe cific, I was lucky to have, had part of my Fling at pre-inflation rates. Why, chillun, I can remember days when a college boy felt com fortably flush with two or three singletons in his Buxton. I can remember when a five-spot went the route for all ordinary dates and a ten put you in the higher income bracket. But that was in the days of three-cent newspapers and two-for-a-nickel doughnuts. Nowadays $65 a month will barely pay the amusement tax at a Punch-and-Judy show. And how you get to as many university dances as you do worries me. You must be spending ill-gotten gains. For, while the AVC takes their poll of a veteran's expenditures, I've made my own research into the high cost of fun. For instance, the Ag formal last October gave an indication of things to come. Some 200 cou ples were nicked for the respect able sum of $2 to hear the Smith Warren orchestra at the farmers' frolic. Then, in November, the Home coming dance stepped up the pace. It cost you $3 to knock knees with your neighbor to Elliott Law rence's music. Came the Military Ball in De cember and a new high was posted for Chuck Foster and his ork. Without batting an eye, the promoters of the soldier shindig asked four dollars for their duc ats. (Three if you dusted your class A8S off). Arrtl even with the pass list, the 5,500 attending must have added up to a nice chunk of cabbage. The Mortar Boards stubbed their toe on Sonny Dunham be fore coming up with Charlie Spiv- ak, but the Ladies in the Black Nightgowns never once stuttered while asking $3 for the privilege of meeting eight eligible bache lors. And some 1,200 couples paid it. Though, if they'd shopped around, the Eligibles (with eight queens thrown in) were retailing for 50c just two months later. Now, the Interfraternity Ball and Phil Levant's orchestra (without even Oscar, a queen or selected short subjects) ask you again to dig for three skins apiece. However, this being stricly a fra ternity affair, I probably shouldn't treat it as a matter of general uni versity concern. BUT, now, to add the grand NHSP Announces Contest Awards Winners of five journalistic practice contests of the Nebraska High School Press association were announced at a luncheon Saturday ending tje association's 15th annual convention on the University of Nebraska campus.

"2x7 HOTEL CORNHUSKER tNimn scniMMEL direction n coup-de-grace to the piggy bank, comes the Union's name band af fair on March 7. Alvino Key earns some sort of local distinction by ringing the cash register for an all-time admission high of $5 per couple! I don't say it can be helped. Name bands come high. The size of the Union ballhoom limits at tendance. (425 couples in this case.) But, shades of Chester Bowles! That's not the price of the even ing. That's only the ticket! Even if $65-a-month becomes $100-a-month, there's not enough for many evenings like that! I suppose I sound like one of Steinbeck's characters. But, like I say, I can remember pre-war col lege days and sodas with two straws. Guess Pat Lahr's regular Union hoe-downs at 44c a throw are more my speed. Five dollars a couple!

Bengtson, chairman of the geography department, will speak on "Geography of South America" at a meeting of Sigma Gamma Epsilon, honorary geology fraternity, Tuesday evening at 7:30 in room 20, Morrill hall.

"Craig's Wife," the play originally scheduled to be given, was recently revived in New York City, and the Experi mental Theater's production rights were cancelled. The cast of "The Silver Cord" includes four women and two men. Tryouts will be held Wed nesday from 4 to 6 p. m. in the Studio Theater in Temple for all students who did not try out for "Craig's Wife" and are inter ested in trying out for "The Sil ver Cord." Foster Dies . . . (Continued from Page 1.) students to remember as obsolete. This became a tradition of the college, "Dean Foster's grave yard." In 1940 about 200 of his former students presented him with a diamond-studded gold medal on which was inscribed, "Honor a Man While He Yet Liveth" and "He Hath Wrought Well." This was in honor of his 20 years of teaching at the university. Funeral services will be held at 2:30 this afternoon at Wadlow's, Rev. R. A. McConnell officiating. Burial will be at Wyuka.
