A Part of Education
Ag students got a better idea of what education really
is at their convocation yesterday and the coffee hour after
wards. The example set by Ag college should be heeded by
the convocations committee on the city campus and the
reasons for the huge success yesterday on Ag campus should
be well considered
Long the convocations committee has been bemoaning
the fact that though it brings top speakers representing the
best thought of the ages, students just did not take the
trouble to turn out m any large numbers. The committee
contends, and it is right, that the thoughts that are brought
here by visiting lecturers are important to the well-rounded
education that all students are theoretically here to acquire
Then why do convocations fail to attract these students?
Inadequate publicity has often been advanced as the
reason for poor attendance. "Got to study" is the common
excuse offered by non-attending students. Perhaps these
reasons are applicable to the situation. But reasons go fur
ther than this. The following suggestions are offered to the
convocations commtitee:
(1) If the convocations hour could be set at some other
time, perhaps more students would feel that they could at
tend. When convocations begin at the present hour of 11
a. m., speakers often lecture into the noon hour. Students
are compelled either to miss regularly scheduled lunches
and grab a bite at the Crib, or leave before the speaker is
finished. Also, crowds coming into the Union about 11:45
make enough confusion that the speaker is often bothered.
If convocations could be scheduled at some different hour,
these objectionable features might be eliminated.
(2) If professors would have a better attitude toward
letting students miss classes, students would feel more free
to judge for themselves whether they would get more out of
the professor's lecture for the day or from a speaker who
is a widely recognized authority in some field
(3) If more informal coffee hours could be conducted
after the convocation lecture, as was held at Ag college,
students could inquire further into some of - the points
brought out in the lecture. Very often, a lecture will only husker,

more fully in a personal discussion. Although the Univer
sity is large, this may be one way to bring about the more
personal type of broad education enjoyed by smaller col
leges, since only a small group of extremely interested people
would remain for these conversation periods

Meddling With Meli'ck
By M. J.
While attending last night's
Council meeting, we picked up a
bit of information which seemed
particularly ridiculous to us. In
spite of its almost laughable na
ture the statement was only too
true. It seems to us to typify
faculty attitude.
After a number of Council
members, quite a sizeable' num
ber, had gone home to dinner the
meeting: degenerated into a battle
of with between several Council
members and the faculty spensor.
Undoubtedly the faculty sponsor
was put in an unfair position,
that of justifying the acts and

SECRETARY of State Dean
Acheson reported that the North
Atlantic Security Alliance, as it
is now drafted, clearly states all
undersigned nations must defend
themselves if attacked. This state
ment was made at a news confer
ence after the Senate Foreign Re
lations committee informally ap
proved the final draft of the pact.
WITH SOME of the flooding
rivers in Iowa and Nebraska ap
pearing to have done their worst,
flood warnings were still issued
for the Elkhorn River. The Big
Blue fell about three inches, but
much of Beatrice was still under
water.
FINAL SETTLEMENT of a pro
longed wage-hour dispute be
tween the nation's railroads and
one million non-oocratine em
ployes seemed almost certain
Wednesday. The main point of the
dispute was the applying a 40-
hour to the railroad industry. A
three man emergency board re
ceived the remaining issues from
both sides Tuesday.
THE GROUP of housewives
from the Midwest received a
shocking blow Wednesday from
the German women. On a trip to
Europe, the Midwesterners heard
a German . speaker state that
American women do not work as
hard as the fairer sex in Germany
do. The Americans disagreed in
one voice.
THE ARMY Engineer Corps is
predicted to be exempt from anv
Governmental reorganization. This
prediction came from the Senate
Expenditures Committee who is
considering a plan for reorganiza

agencies and departments. The
plan has already been approved
by the House.
attitudes of the entire faculty.
This spot is similar to the re
lationship which the faculty has
created between the Council and
the faction.
During the discussion a report
was submitted by the joint com
mittee which sponsored the stu
dent hearing. In a portion of
the report students asked for an
open hearing with the faculty
senate.
At this point the faculty spon
sor, who had been discussing the
uncooperative attitude which stu
dents take toward the faculty,
rose to say that such a hearing
would be impossible. She pointed
out that faculty members do not
attend Senate meetings in rrt
numbers. She added that lh
faculty Senate was too busy to be
annoyed with "trivial matters"
and for that reason the commit
tee on social functions, and so on
nauseam, was set up as a
ouuer.
It seems a trifle peculiar to us
that the faculty should expect ten
thousand students to do hand
stands at its request to revise
student politics but it cannot be
bothered with hearing the student
sicte of such "trivial matters."
AVe beg to remind the faculty
that this was their idea. We are
in complete harmony with the
suggestion and so are a number
of Council members but it does
not alter the fact that the whole
project was faculty initiated.
Perhaps students have been
uncooperative in their attitude
towards the faculty, but it seems
a poor excuse for the faculty to
match that attitude. We realize
that the members of the Faculty
Senate are busy people. We wish
to remind them that students are
also busy people.
Are we completely out of line
when we expect the faculty to
devote a few minutes to hearing
both sides of its own brain child?
