NCAA Purity Code . .
A problem which has been a sore point for Nebraska athletic
followers for several seasons, the matter of providing financial aid
and scholarships for promising and proven athletes, seems to have
been solved by action of delegates to the National Collegiate Athletic
Association which met in New York last week.
By voting to put into immediate effect a program of strict ama
teurism which vould outlaw any sort of athletic scholarships at
member schools of the NCAA, the collegiate heads have precluded
any attempt by Cornhusker boosters to revive the Achievement Fund
which functioned for one semester before being outlawed by Big Six
dons. The code as drawn up by the NCAA, which includes most of
the nation's major universities and colleges in its ranks, will halt all
future aid to college students in recognition of their athletic ability.
Thus Nebraska will no longer have to apologize to athletes for
its lack of obvious rewards for excellence on the football field or in
other sports. With each NCAA school faced with the necessity of
dropping every type of financial inducement except for scholarships
now in operation, the future for the Cornhuskeers looms a bit
brighter. Along side the all-out efforts of other schools, including
several Big Six members, the Husker attempts at "keeping up with
the Jonses" in the wild race for potential varsity athletes had been
soundly criticized by many observers. The university has been ablej
to disavow all forms of financial inducement during the past few
years and there was nothing secret about the ill-fated Achievement
Fund, but the triumphs achieved in the field of ethics did not satisfy
most students and alums as a substitute for lack of success in the
field of intercollegiate athletics.
Just to make certain that all NCAA members do live up to the
letter of the new code, a pair of committees, one to ,explain the new
rules to "unsure" members, and another group to investigate viola
tions, have been established. Doubtless most schools will be glad to
drop out of the mad scramble for available talent, a scramble which
carried recruiters and scouts from the most energetic schools to all
parts of the nation and ballooned the business of intercollegiate ath
letics far out of proportion to its proper place on the university scene.
Nebraska can look ahead to being on a par with opponents in
all parts of the country, not just in the Big Six or Seven. The change
will not be immediate because the clause permitting current scholar
ships to continue will give a good many athletes three or four more
years of remunerative competition.
But if the code of the NCAA group can be enforced, and enforce
ment of its stern provisions will be no easy matter, there will be
little cause for Scarlet and Cream boosters to get stirred up about
athletic recruiting drives. In part, at least,! (he "good old days" seem
to be at hand for collegiate athletics.
Good old days" to Nebraskans mean conference championships
and high national rankings. An immediate return to these achieve
ments is too much to. hope for. However, the Huskers will be on
equal footing with their opponents as far as raw material is con
cerned.

To the Editor:
Before today it was my naive conception that the Pershing Rifles
organization on the university campus was "made up of men 'who are
outstanding in basic military science," and who are selected "from
the basic military group on the basis of their rating in try-outs and
are then selected for membership by a vote of the active members."
There are many of us who could never condone the policy of the
State Legislature In requiring the teaching of military science, com
pulsory at the university, nor militarism in any manifestation, but
we have always maintained an attitude of almost sympathetic aloof
ness towards those to whom the science of war, unquestioning servi
tude, and regimentation held an appeal, gory as it may be, but now
our hypocritical dorminancy has been offended, and we call the
attention of the entire student body to the distasteful requirements
being made by the Pershing Rifles, which should be to the military
department as an honorary business fraternity is to the school of
business administration.
According to the pledge requirements the followers must:
1. Carry a rifle at right shoulder arms on every day.
2. Wear the uniform every day. '
3. Be present at inspection on Monday morning, Jan. 12, at 7:30.
4. Carry blue books and pen for demerits.
5. Know drill regulations.
6. When turning give command in loud voice and turn square
corners.
7. When coming out of a building announce the time.
8. March, do not walk.
9. Say "Oink, oink, sirs," before and after speaking to actives.
10. Come to present arms and stop whenever meeting an officer.
' Now, it .should be considerate that these followers announce the
time when they come out of buildings, provided that it is the correct
time, and little objection can be raised to their activies in a language
that they both" can understand, but the rifles are damn annoying. We
have just finished a world war that has cost the lives of millions of
human beings, and already stupid kids are glorifying militarism and
falling prey to unquestioning obedience that marks such tomfoolery.
At present the rifles are wooden ones, but it should be remembered
that the Deutchen Jugend also trained with toy wooden rifles, and
the, step to a real rifle is not so great
World conditions today are explosive. It will take a determined .
effort at international understanding and the establishment of an
international power, a world government, strong enough to maintain
and insure lasting peace
Let's put down the guns, the threats to purge those who do not
believe as we do, the fear, of aggression, the secrecy, the armament,
and all of the other rot that in the end is only going to get the people
"taxes, widows, wooden legs, and debt." Peace and prosperity, not
under the threat of arms or under the tension of potential military
aggression, is what we all want Let s work for it positively.
EUGENE BERMAN.
(Compulsory military training is not a policy of the stale legis
lature. Its teaching is required in accordance with provisions of the
Morrill Act, under which the University of Nebraska was established.
Enacted by Congress in 1862, the Morrill Act provides for national
support for colleges and universities providing they teach, among
other subjects, military training. As such a land-grant university, the
University of Nebraska is required to teach military training to all
eligible male students. Ed.)
