Regents Board
May Propose
Yearly Award
A $1,000 yearly award may be
given by the Board of Regents
to a University teacher who is
the "best teacher of American
ism and patriotism."
Promoter of the plan is Re
gent J. Leroy Welsh of Omaha.
He said he wanted the public to
know that "we are free from
subversive teaching at the Uni
versity and that there are no
pinks in our midst." Welsh said
he would make the award avail
able personally.
WELSH TOLD the Regents he
had taken the idea from an
award for good teaching being
offered by the University Foun
dation. The foundation plans to
make a yearly award to the
"faculty member who exhibits
superior teaching quality."
Ruth' Leverton, professor of
home economics, was the type of
person Welsh proposed the Re
gents publicly recognized. He
said she had gained "world-wide
fame for her studies in nutri
tion." Regent B. N. Grenberg of
York suggested the board give
public recognition to faculty
members and students who make
outstanding scholastic accomplishments.

Lincoln Paper
Acting Chancellor John K.
Selleck announced Thursday
that the Board of Regents inter
viewed Dr. Arthur Weber, dean
and director of the School of
Agriculture, Kansas State Col
lege, as one of several men under
consideration for the chancellor
ship of the University.
Selleck said he made the an
nouncement with regret because
Dean Weber, a former University
staff member, had requested that
his interview Wednesday with
the Regents be considered a con
fidential matter for the time
being.
"AT THE meeting of the Board
of Regents Wednesday morn
ing," Selleck said, "I told mem
bers of the press that the Board
would interview one of the men
whose names appear on a rather
lengthy list of people it wishes
to consult before making any
decision on the chancellorship.
"I explained that the man
coming to Lincoln had requested
his visit be unannounced and
that we were asking the press to
cooperate to the extent of com
plying with our visitor's wishes.
When I made the announcement,
no member of the press objected

New Traffic
Rule Affects
First Student
Twelve ''penalty points", and
Nebraska drivers lose their
licenses.
This is the new ruling for Ne
braska highways. The new sys
tem, inaugurated last Septem
ber, allots a designated number
of points for each traffic viola
tion. Drivers are allowed up to
twelve points over a two-year
period.
IF A Derson accumulates more
than twelve points, his license is"
suspended one year.
Violations which draw the
maximum number of points are
drunk driving, wilful or reckless
driving and not stopping to give
aid in case of an accident.
The first University student
to feel the effect of the new rul
ing was Robert Postma, a sopho
more in Teachers College. He
was convicted on the charge of
driving on a suspended license.
The license suspension was the
result of the new point system.

Requirements for the degree
would not be materially differ
ent from the Ph. D except in the
language necessities which
could be made up for by supple
mentary work in statistics and
research methods. A Ph. D re
quires knowledge of two lan
guages. Another difference, is:
either a thesis or a field study
could be undertaken for the D.
Ed., although a bloc of 20 hours
would be a requirement for both
studies. Field studies are very
similar to these the differences
are often hard to discern.
Regents created a committee
Nov. 6, which was to "inquire
into the content and procedure
of the degree." This group was
dissolved at the request of acting
Chancellor John K. Selleck at a
recent meeting of the Regents in
order to provide for what the
Chancellor termed "the best in
terests of the University."
The dissolved committee, ac
cording to A. C. Breckenridge,
professor of political science and
a committee member, was not to
find out "if the degree was de
sirable or not, but only to in
quire into the eontent and pro
cedure for obtaining the degree.
Since our committee had been
formed," he went on to say, "we
had been meeting 6teadily and
were still in the process of ob
taining information when the
Chancellor dissolved the com
mittee. We had offered no re
port and had come to no con
clusion when another solution
was offered."
Acting chancellor John K. Sel
leck, whose decision to disolve
the committee caused some com
ment, stated that one of the rea
sons the committee was ap
pointed and for the delay of
such length was "to see if the
degree could be channeled
through Graduate College."

Gen. Hull Denies Report
WASHINGTON The report the South Korean President
Syngman Rhee has offered to send two divisions to Indo-China has
been denied by Gen. John Hull, allied commander in the Far East.
However he made no comment on a report that Rhee offered one
division.
Gen. Hull arrived in Washington for conference with military
and other officials. He was asked his opinion on sending South
Korean forces to assist in the war against the Communists in Indo
China. The ceneral made no direct reply on that point. His only
comment was that the United
troops militarily.
The State Department has not made any immediate reply on
the development, however it is unlikely that top American officials
would favor sending South Korean troops into the Indo-China war.
West Rejects Soviet Plan
BERLIN Western ministers in the Big Four meeting reported
that the subject of German unification and European security has
been exhaustively discussed and
ering ending the conference.
The West rejected the plan proposed oy soviet foreign min
ister Molotov for an all-European security treaty to split Western
Europe from the United States. The possibility of Asian settle
ments and disarmament conference proposals were discussed in
secret sessions. The final problem to be tackled will be a discus
sion of an Austrian independence treaty.
Americans Volunteer To Fight
WASHINGTON Individual Americans have been volunteering
to fight against the Communists in Indo-China, the French Embassy
reported. Letters and telephone calls have been coming in, re
ported the officials. However, the exact number was not known.
Offers came from pilots, mechanics, doctors, and unemployed
youths. The State Department warned that it is "illegal" for any
American to go abroad to 6erve in any foreign military force."
Medal Awarded To Mountain Climbers
WASHINGTON The British expedition which conquered Mt
Everest received the National Geographic Society's Hubbard Medal
at a White House ceremony. President Eisenhower presented the
award to Brig. Sir John Hunt and Sir Edmund Hillary. Hillary
made the final aBcent to the peak of Mt. Everest last year in com
pany with Tenzing Norkey, a Sherpa guide.
Eisenhower received a copy of Hunt's book, "The Conquest cf
Everest," from the expedition. The Hubbard Medal was bestowed
first in 1906 on Robert E. Peary, for his Arctic explorations.
