An Opportunity . . .
Education, according to Webster, is "The course of
training and instruction transmitted in eaucaung.
ranrntinn. according to Dr. Frank E. Sorenson, direc
tor of Summer Sessions, includes bringing awareness of the
riirrpnt world to the student. And with
this in mind, the All-University clinics were established to
'bring into focus of the student two or tnree 01 uie mosi
significant developments in society today."
World recognized authorities in three fields science,
United Nations and human rights, and agriculture have
been scheduled for the clinics this summer.
In attending the clinic next Monday and Tuesday, on
"Is the United Nations Failing?" students and faculty will
hear one of the world's most respected leaders in the fields
of philosphy, sociology and government discuss a field with
which he is thoroughly familiar. Dr. Charles Malik has a
long list of accomplishments to add to his name which
give proof of his deserving of the prominence he has at
tained. He is minister to the United States from Lebanon,
as well as the United Nations delegate from that country.
In addition, he is on leave from his job as chairman of the
department of philosophy, American University, Beirut
Lebanon.
With this background. Dr. Malik is well suited to dis
cuss United Nations problems with an insight impossible
to obtain from second-hand observation, or from textbooks.
Along with Dr. Malik and his knowledge in the field
of the doctrine of human rights, the University's own Chan
cellor Gustavson will be on hand during the discussion
period Tuesday to talk about the implications of the Uni
versal Declaration of Human Rights.
The entire clinic is something no student can afford
to miss, because it offers an opportunity to see the picture
of the UN in the world today, and perhaps glimpse the
vision of "one world."

Art Show Plugs
Bingham's Work
The Nelson art gallery has as
sembled a number of early paint
ings for the Kansas City centen
nial celebration now in progress,
and centered them around the
work of George Caleb Bingham.
The gallery's own "Fishing on
the Mississippi," dated 1851, has
been supplemented by Bingham
paintings borrowed from the
Metropolitan, the Erooklyn mu
seum, Washington university, the
St. Louis art museum and the
Historical Society of Missouri.
The gallery will show its re
cently purchased "On the Road,"
painted in 1853 by Thomas P.
Otter, and three other Great
Plains and Rocky Mountain
scenes from other brushes, be
sides oils, water colors, and
drawings by Alfred Jacob Miller,
which constitute records of In
dian and pioneer life in the
1830's. Their owner has also lent
a series of hand colored litho
graphs by another famous artist
of the same period, George
Catlin.
From several Kansas City
homes and other local sources
has been gathered a group of
historically important portraits.
Loans by the historical society
and by Helen Webber Kennedy,
of Stockton, California, make up
the exhibit. Together they pro
vide countless details of life in
the early days in the Missouri
valley.

Sun Valley
Spotlight
BY FRANK JACOBS.
(Frank Jacobs, editor of the campus
humor magazine Cornshucks. is working
in sun alley tnis summer, xne following
article reports on other Cornhusker stu
dents at Sun Valley, Ida.)
Here at Sun Valley, Idaho, the
vacation ground of America, the
faces of several Cornhiiskers can
be seen midst the 600 employes.
The classroom pallor of Sosh and
Andrews hall has been replaced
by a smooth, even bronze. The
scenery of 14th and R has
changed to the uneven horizon
of the Sawtooth Mountains.
Some of the many Nebraska
university students working at
the valley include Jane Mc
Cormick, York, and Clare Raish,
Omaha. Jane has received the
job as elevator operator at the
luxurious Valley Lodge. Her
work is always interesting and
she naturally gets a lift out of
her job. (Editors note a Corn
shucks joke). Clare spends her
working hours at the spacious
Challenger Inn as a typist. Her
working time is divided into
what is known as a "split shift,
working from 7 a. m. until noon
and 6 p. m. until 11 p. m. one
day and from noon until 6 p. m.
the next day. According to Clare,
the split shift enables her to en
joy a variety of Sun Valley's
numerous recreational facilities.
-Steve Carveth, Lincoln, feels
fortunate in having secured an
open-air job at the Idaho resort.
Steve is employed on the ground
crew which takes care of the
many acres of grassed and flow
ered lawns. He also finds plenty
of time for his favorite sport,
golf, as he receives each Satur
day and Sunday off.
Working as waitresses and en
joying every minute and tip of
their job are Alice Krueger, Fort
Calhoun, and Betty Boothe, F.c-
mont. Although the early Sun
Valley breakfasts require them to
rise at six in the morning, Alice
and Betty wouldn't have it any
other way. "Nothing like it," they
say.
Other Cornhuskers at Sun Val
ley include Louie Simon, Omaha,
busboy. This is Louie's fourth
year at the Idaho resort. Accord
ing to Louie, "Something just
draws me here summer after
summer."
More news about more Ne-
braskans at Sun Valley, will be
included in a future column.
Then we'll cover some of the
sports and activities.

Former Husker power hitter
Bob Cerv has made an auspicious
start with the sixth place Kansas
City Blues of the American association.
When the Weston, Neb., cen-
terfielder joined the Blues, many
fans and scouts thought little of
his chances to stay with the
Triple-A club. But in less than
two weeks m the Minors, Cerv
has made quite a name for him
self.
In his first two games in the
play for pay league, the ex-Big
Seven batting champ knocked
out a hit each day a single and
a double.
Then his next time in action,
just a week after he joined the
Yankee farm club, the former
Husker smashed a seventh inning
home run to tie the game with
Indianapolis. Later after Indian
apolis had gone ahead in their
half of the seventh, Cerv added
a tremendous triple in the ninth.
He then scored the tieing run on
an infield error.
Bob was also credited with
8 putouts in that game and over
half of them were running
catches.
In the third inning, the Weston
lad made a leaping stab of a long
drive to the scoreboard with the
bases loaded. He crashed into the
fence but held onto the ball to
rob Indianapolis of three runs
and to retire the side.
Monday night in a game with
Toledo the Nebraska boy wal
loped homer No. 2 of his profes
sional career and made it known
that he was in the big time to
stay.

As Seen From . . .
The Cloister
BY FRITZ PICARD
About fourteen months ago the
state legislature passed a bill em
powering the four state teachers
colleges (Wayne, Peru, Chadron,
Kearney) to grant the AB or lib
eral arts degree, as well as BA
degrees in education. Proponents
of the measure said that existing
facilities at these schools were
adequate, that neither curricula
nor staffs would have to be ex
panded much, that therefore no
extra expense would result.
Opponents of the bill were skep
tical of the teachers colleges' abil
ity to meet the requirements of an
accredited liberal arts school, and
felt that an attempt to support
five liberal arts schools (The Uni
versity was the only tax-supported
school giving an AB at the time)
was beyond the population and re
sources of Nebraska.
Now, after fourteen months, this
is the way things stand. None of
the four colleges has been ac
credited as a liberal arts school
by the American Association of
Universities, the top accrediting
agency in the country, and, ac
cording to the latest publication
of the North Central Association,
that agency has also withheld
recognition. A look at the cata
logues of the normal schools re
veals the following facts which
may well be significant in this(
lack of recognition.
Peru, in addition to its teachers
college requirements, asks only
that a student take ten hours of
foreign language and six hours of
psychology (from six courses of
fered) to gain an AB degree.
There are no philosophy courses.
Five instructors teach all the math,
physical, chemistry, biological
science and general science; three
teach all the history, sociology, po
litical science, and geography.
Only four of the history courses
are not survey courses. The
school has three PhDs on a. staff
of fifty-five.
There has been a recent propo
sal before the legislature to con
vert the teachers college at Peru
into a hospital for the treatment
of chronic alcoholics. Peru, now
known as the "Campus of a
Thousand Oaks," would thus, we
presume, become the "Campus of
a Thousand Soaks."
Vayne has six faculty members
to teach its fifty-four courses in
physics, chemistry, biological
sciences, and math. The school
has two persons to teach twenty-
two history and six political
science courses. No more than
four semesters of French, German,
and Latin are offered. Eight of
sixty-two on the instructional
staff have the PhD degree.
Kearney has three instructors to
handle thirty-two courses in "So
cial Studies" history, political
science, and geography. There is
one holder of a PhD decree in the
combined Modern Language-Eng
lish department. There are two
psychology courses offered, and
there is one course which, accord
ing to the catalouge, treats "of the
process by which raen get a liv
ing." This is economics, and is,
rightly enough, a senior course.
Furthermore, a number of
courses, though listed in the cata
logues, are marked "not offered
1950-51," or "given only on de
mand." The facts cited above may seem
to present a very biased view.
That is correct. But it does not
change the facts. We have no
quarrel with the state teachers
colleges; we just wish that they
would stay teachers colleges, for
their attempt to give AB degrees
MUST entail expansion and in
creased expenditure. Their present
facilities show that it would be a
fine thing if the state of Nebraska
were able to support five good
liberal arts schools, but it is not.
These four colleges have done
as good a job as any teachers col
lege in fulfilling the original pur
pose for which they were created:
the training of teachers. We hope
that they will continue to pursue
that course alone, for the diff'ision
of funds in an effort to maintain
five arts colleges could only end
in the limitation of any first-rate
liberal arts school from Nebraska.
350 Attend
First Clinic
On Marriage
Approximately 350 people at
tended the first in a series of five
open meetings of the marriage
clinic. The film "It Takes All
Kinds," from the book of the
same name by Dr. Bowman was
shown and Mrs. Angeline An
derJbn, assistant professor of
home economics, talked on "What
You Bring To Marriage,"
Many phases of pre-marital
relations were brought to light
by Mrs. Anderson. Among them
were: difference between en
gagement and marriage; learn
how to know and appreciate all
kinds of people -with the realiza
tion that it takes all kinds to
make a world; what you bring to
marriage; what factors make you.
you. Much emphasis was put on
high school dating as a pre-mar-riace
phase.
The whole attitude of the audi
ence may be summed up in this
note which was given the
speaker. "We enjoyed this very
much and shall attend, all the
rest of the meetings," signed a
"Married Couple."
The next clinic will be held June
28 in the Union Lounge. The
topic for discussion will be
"Choice of a Mate," and the film,
"This Charming Couple," will be
shown. Speaker will be Dr. Wil
liam Hall, Professor of Educa
tional Psychology.
