Gustavson's Atom Report
Op
ens 2nd UN
Speaking at the second ple
nary session of the United Na
tions general assembly. Chancel
lor R. G. Gustavson emphasized
the members of the assembly
must sincerely realize that
atomic energy problem is the
most important one that the
world faces today.
Before the delegates to the
I'N, the chancellor reported on
the atomic energy commission;
iiiid alo sought to present a re
view of six primary ideas that
the assembly should keep in
rnind as they consider the
atomic problem.
1. Principles of the atomic
bomb, its discovery, atomic
structure, and possibilities.
2. Present status of the hy
rhogen bomb, its principles, and
possibilities.
3. Position of the U. S. in re
lation to the atomic bomb.
4. Position of the U.S. S R. in
relation to the atomic bomb.
5. Areas of possible agree
ment. fi. The steps that should be
taken.
The chancellor alter describ
ing the mechanics of the bomb,
Mated that the (acts of atomic
f m rgy are known by scientists
all over the world.
He also reminded that the
U. S. has found by its own ex
periments the destructive pow
ers of the bomb. Therefore there
is excellent pioof for the facts
In mentioning n'c hydrogen
bomb situation, the chancellor
nni that if a super bomb con
taining 500 tons of the hydrogen
bomb material was dropped,
everything upon the face of the
earth would be annihilated.

for the Atomic Knergy commis

plan places emphasis on control
of the mining of uranium and
all experimentation of the
atomic bomb for military war

said, stems partially from the
belief that they cannot trust the
AKC to give permission to mine
the uranium.

Exam Round-Table
Now's the time to get this busines of exam stealing
hashed out. Three students and three faculty members will
meet tonight to discuss the whole problem, perhaps to
reach some conclusions on a solution acceptable to both
groups. Chancellor Gustavson will moderate the discussion,
and the latter part of the meeting will be open to com
ments from spectators.
Tonight's session has the potentiality for the emer
gence of a workable remedy. Student and faculty groups

student group runs the risk of death at the hands of the
faculty senate. Leaving the entire matter up to the senate
inevitably involves the danger of the feeling among stu
dents that the solution is imposed upon them. Cooperation
assures the best possible plan to erase the problem from
the campus.
Chancellor Gustavson has urged maximum attendance
at tonight's meeting to get the obstacles to a solution
: ironed out. Both students and instructors have been ob
viously hot and bothered about the issue, but so far, most
of their criticisms have been directed to the winds. Any

Two solutions have been offered up to date. One call
ing for the elimination of a regularly scheduled exam week
arose in last week's faculty senate meeting. Although this
plan might prove effective, it would work only at the
expense of the student who might be confronted with all
his finals in one day. The exam week system was set up
with this problem in mind, and it has won the approval
of both faculty and student groups as a practical method
of overcoming the situation.
The other solution resulted from the efforts of the
Student Council. It stresses the de-emphasizing of fina'
grades. We do not say that the plan is infallible; many
mggestions may come up that would increase its effective
ness. We do not say that it would be applicable in all cases,
but that alterations might

Stace Talk
jDeseribes
('Value' Idea
I The study of values is like the
1 study of history, said Dr. W. T.
' Stace, because "as history never
repeats itself, neither can sci
ence repeat itself because hu
man acts never repeat them
selves; therefore there cannot be
a science of values."
This was the thesis of the
' first in a series of three Mont
gomery lectures by Dr. Stace in
I IOve Library auditorium Mon
day night. His first lecture was
entitled "Value in General," a
part of his series concerning
"What Are Our Values?"
In speaking of the relativity
of values, Dr. Stace said that
"whilc admitting that these val-
ues are relative, we must under-
stand this knowledge.' lie ex
panded on this subject bv dis
tinguishing between particular
value juogments and general
value judgments.
Value Judgment
Particular value judgment:;, he
said, are those true only about
single human beings, cultures or
countries. On the other hand,
general value judgments "claim
to be valid for making in gen
eral, not true for everyone, only
valid for all normal men and I
circumstances." He emphasized !
the word "normal." i
Therefore, he said, we have a j
scale of general values which are .
high arid low and cannot be ,
discussed in particular cases. '
Socrates believed in human I
life in general, said Dr. Stare,
and the same is true for all mod- :
ern moralists who attempt to j
put a scale of general values.
' However, Plato recognized a ,
hierarchy of five kinds of val- 1
ues, the highest of which is
knowledge," he said. Plato
placement from the highest to
the lowest go on a wale from
knowledge as the first; honor
prestige, next; money, third;
pleasure, fourth; and a atisfac-
tion out of some singular sensual ,
habit, fifth. i
He further explained that each
particular human being may ;
place hi own value, such as
money or honor, higher than
the other values on Plato' scale.
Value Scale
In bringing in the relativity j
of these valutM, Dr. Star e ex- !
r.laini'd this value scale as to
how it aflect different civiliza
tion. What l meant
call, hi- said, "is that

human
haoniness is the criteria
of
values." ,

ROZ HOWARD I
'
the panel, according to Ros-
well
Howard, chairman of th
committee and president of the
Student Council, is "to present
student and faculty viewpoints
on the general subject of final
examinations."
Howard went on to say, "It is
not planned to draw up any con
crete stand on the problem but
we hope the discussion will have
some effect on future exam pro
cedure." The faculty speakers on the
panel, recommended by Chancel
lor Gustavson, are Prof. Ephriam
Hixson, former chairman of the
department of entomology; Prof.
J. L. Sellers of the history de
partment; and T. J. Thompson,
Dean of Student Affairs.
Chancellor as Moderator
The student panel members
are Howard, Robert Raun and
Robert Parker, all members of
I the Student Council committee
on final exams. The chancellor
will act as moderator during the
discussion.
Howard would like to stress
the importance of student and
faculty attendance at this dis
cussion. He said students have
wished for some time for a voice
in campus government and he
adds "This is the chance they
have been waiting for." Both
he and the chancellor feel this
I panel is a definite step toward
student-faculty co-operation.
Although the University's ex
amination system was not seri
ously questioned until after the
trouble during the first semester
finals, there was a movement by
the iaculty to examine the situa
tion last semester.
A questionnaire was sent to a
number of students and faculty
members asking their opinions
of the present test system. The
faculty Senate then studied the
questionnaires and recommended
i no prevailing objection to the
i present system.
Council Proposals
As a result of publicity con
cerning exam stealing and cheat
ing in the first semester tests,
j the Student Council called a
j committee on final examinations.
I This committee drew up a set of
proposals relating to the empha
sis placed upon exams and to
objections to the attitude of some
faculty members.
Copies of the Council propos
als were sent to various admin
istrative authorities and were
I published in The Daily Nebras
kan. Howard was called In to con
: suit with the chancellor about
! the proposals and the effect they
would have on the exam system.
Out of this meeting, the idea of
the student-faculty panel was
born.
Talks by both the faculty and
student speakers will be limited
to 10 minutes each so that stu
dents and teachers in the audi
ence will be able to ask ques
tions of the panel members and
present their ideas.
All arrangements for the dis
cussion have been made by the
Student Council and President
; Howard hopes it will "set a
precedent" in student-faculty af
fairs. Rag Forecasts
