DISBAND THE BOARD
With the smoke still clearing from the Masterson fiasco, one
thing has become apparent; the university athletic board no longer
serves a valid purpose in the athletic scheme at Nebraska. For
too long a time, the men on the board found themselves hampered
by a beauracratic system set up by previous chancellors who had
no particular interest in sports. The need for such a system is gone.
With the advent of R. G. Gustavson and his administration the
scene has changed. The Chancellor Is in close touch with all phases
of the university's operations.
Therefore, with the present plan of making the athletic direc
torship a post which would control all coaching staffs and their
operation, it would seem logical to eliminate the board, which in
the past has been valuable only as an inter-mediary, and to place
the athletic director on a par with all other department heads. This
would then make the director responsible to the Chancellor alone..
This Is a view also expressed
the Omaha World-IIearld. A closer
will probably bring agreement from other sports writers in the state
Eliminate the athletic board and it will end much of the un
due pressure which has been put on its individual members dur
ing the past two months. If the
to the Chancellor, there can be no doubt as to the outcome. Chan
cellor Gustavson is not the man to knuckle under to anyone, be
he the owner of 50,000 head of cattle, of an inflential newspaper or
a thriving mercantile trade.
By eliminating- themselves, the athletic board will be doing
their final and greatest service to the students of the university.
End of the board will mean the beginning of a simple chain of
command. A chain that can be traced from the Chancellor, to tbe
athletic director to the various coaches.
With that set-up, the wolves could howl until they were blue
In the face. There would be no repeat of the latest and most dis
graceful exhibition revolving around whose man will be football
coach.

UNITED NATIONS.
Secretary General Trygve Lie of
the UN hast called a nine-nation
committee to meet next Monday
to decide where the 1948 General
Assembly will be held. Possibili
ties include Paris, Brussels,
Geneva or The Hague, with spec
ulations favoring Paris because
of the recent devaluation of the
French franc. On the other hand,
the UN itself would save money
by going to Geneva, where it
maintains permanent branch fa
cilities. On challenging the Palestine
partition plan on two new counts,
the ranking Arab spokesman at
the United Nations at Lake Suc
cess, Faris Ei Khoury of Syria,
opened In the Security Council
the Arab battle against an inter
national police force for Palestine.
He contended:
(1) The five-member Partition
Commission was not legally
created by the UN Assembly last
November because its member
ship was not elected by a secret
ballot.
(2) The Assembly recommend
ed to all 57 nations the adoption,
of the plan to create Jewish and
Arab countries in the Holy Land,
but that no UN member thus far
has adopted the plan.
The move, coming within the
anarchy of power and methods
of enforcing decisions or inter
preting legality that currently
exist in the UN, comes as a decided
effort to stall decision of the Se
curity Council to create an inter
national police force. In the mean
time it is reported from Jerusalem
that the British had intercepted
a ship bearing 450 illegal Immi
grant Jews and that scattered vio
lence still rages throughout the
divided nation.

Coach Talk
I University officials were re
ported Wednesday to be searching
for an interim football coach, fol
lowing Bernie Masterson's drama
tic resignation Monday.
Chancellor Gustavson spiked a
rumor that the university had con
tacted Jim Yeager, erstwhile Colo
rado U. coach, in regards to the
job and that Yeager had refused
the job.
The chancellor said that he per
sonally had contacted Yeager, as
Yeager was an old friend of his,
but that no definite offer had been
made by the Athletic Board itself.
Gustavson quipped that univer
sity officials were considering go
ing over the list of displaced per
sons of Europe to find a new
coach.
The intimation was that an in
terim football coach mfght be
signed for next season, to allow
more timte for the board to act
with due consideration.
Still prominent on the list of
"insiders" for the job were Potsy
Clark, who coached here in 1945,
Ray Eliot, now head lllini coach,
and Biff Jones, leader of the Corn
husker Rose Bowl squad of 1940.

Crossfire
By Norm Legcr
And Sam Warren wonders why
the technical staff Of the 1948
School of Fine Arts opera pro
duction felt that it still "wouldn't
do" for women to smoke on stage.
Can't you see, Sam, that the fair
people of Lincoln might get an
entirely wrong impression of uni
versity women? Co-eds who
smoke? Perish the thought!
(Wonder if any of the Temple
audience has ever walked into
the Union lounge, the crib, Earl
Woods, Uni drug, the Nook, Love
Library halls, or any women's
house parlors.)
Some of the -ideas people get
are outrageous, yes they are. A
friend of ours who works in news
propagation business passed on a
rather provoking thought that the
"Anti-Masterson" campaign car
riedon so successfully during the
past few months just might have
been instigated by the U.N. athle
tic board to bring pressure on
Rernie, forcing a resignation, and
thus save buying up a contract.
This tccompanied an ugly rumor
that the day Bernie called spring
football practice he got a call
from a person who gave his name
as "Roy Green" asking what did
Bernie think he was doing, what
with the athletic situation as it
was. When Bernie replied that as
far as he knew he was still
coach and wasn't that part of his
job? He got a definite response
a receiver click. Why, oh why, do
people concoct such ridiculous
talk reflecting on the good nam
of the U.N. athletic board.
