state educators begin to choose up sides for the
impending argument
Nebraska high school administrators sug
gested in late November elimination of specific
requirements for University entrance. They
urged that 15 "satisfactory units" of hifh school
work be retarded as the only requirement for
college entrance.
First blow struck in the educational argument
came from leading faculty members of the Uni
versity's College of Arts and Sciences. They called
the reflections of the resolution "unrealistic and
perilous to sound education."
On their side, the University Arts and Sciences
heads are arguing for retention of the English,
foreign languages, mathematics, and physical
science requirements for college entrance. Main
contention of the state school administrators is
that the 15 units of "satisfactory" work will bet
ter enable the student to follow his chosen work
and will facilitate education of those students
who do not go on to college. The units of work
may be obtained in such fields as wood working,
military drill and athletics.
Nineteen Arts and Sciences executive com
mittee members and department chairmen
have gene en record as opposed to the sugges
tion from the Nebraska Education association.
A committee within the NEA Is studying the
problem. From comments heard from both
sides, the problem has been a thorn In the side
of educators, both high school and University,
for many years.
Perhaps the NEA's opinion that the require
ment of certain "cultural" subjects for high school
students, although preparing a few to go on to
college, Is seriously impairing the education 01
people to know a trade. For the fortunate few,
college provides this opportunity. But for stu
dents who cannot attend college, high school i
the only chance they may come in contact with
English study, foreign languages, social studies,
and other subjects which seem unimportant as
far as high-school educated persons are concerned,
to the state school administrators.
Within our ever-widening horizon of changing
social, political, religious, economic and moral
views, man is becoming more and more short
sighted in his vision. We are specializing and
specializing. We are saying more and more that
a man, a student from our point of view, should
learn his trade and not clutter up his mind with
unrelated subjects and the theories of the rest of
the world.
The subjects set up by the University as
entrance requirements have been subjected to a
long and valid test. They have stood for many
years and have proved satisfactory, as far as
possible, as a basis for a student going on to
higher and more effective learning. These high
school requirements were undoubtedly set up
because they were necessary to a student enter
ing college and undoubtedly because they were
just as essential to the knowledge of students
not continuing their education.
Perhaps more consideration could be made for
those students who dont ever plan to enter col
lege. Their education could be directed more
specifically along the lines of their vocation. But

We nope that Peterson win choose to ran

Men Rate Neckties !
By BEN LARSON
Staff Writer
When women start paying at
tention to those parts of a store
.vhich display everything from
otton shorts with pictures of
Santa Claus on them to the new
'wrap-around" bath towels for
men, men start playing coy.
"Aw, I dont want anything
this year," they always say. Un
accustomed as they are to be
ing on the receiving end of present-time,
most men have some
inner desire concerning gifts,
which they bide from everyone.
The result? .More neckties.
In an effort to help the ladies
this year, men were questioned on
what they would like most to re
ceive if they were to get a gift
costing under $20. The answers
were as varied as the subjects.
"Boy! Just give me the twenty
bucks!" was almost a standard
answer.
One little man sheepishly con
fessed, "You know I never drink,
but I'd really like to have about
three fifths of good whiskey."
Naturally, he preferred to re
main anonymous.
Another declared he wanted a
hand-painted shirt "with girls on
it." His friend wanted a new golf
club he had spotted.
One young man questioned had
a generous approach. "I'd like a
big night out with my girl," he
blushingly replied.
Then there was the man wne
wanted $20 worth of socks that
he. not his wife, picked out.
"Something wild," he added,
apparently tired of the conserva
tive type which matched the rest
of his attire.
A bald-headed man laughingly
requested a toupee if you can get
them at that price."

is opposed to the administration.
