Reporter The conditions which, resulted in the demotion of C. Clyde Mitchell as chairman of the department of agricultural economics are dupli cated in other departments in the University, a group of professors, department chairmen and former department chairmen told the Nebraskan in personal interviews. This was the consensus gained by The Nebraskan in talking with nearly SO professors and admin istrators, who all wished to re main unidentified. These men rep resent a crossection of IS different departments in the University. These conditions discourage the liberal, independent professors, es pecially those who hold administra tive positions, from expressing their views on controversial questions, according to one department chair man. He emphasized that the Mitchell demotion was not an isolated in stance but is "part of a pattern which seems to apply to other de partments and colleges here at the University." Several former department chair men said that they threatened to take their particular cases before the local Faculty Senate committee on Academic Privilege and Tenure, but were threatened "with admin istrative reprisals. "The suggestion of taking our cases to the local AAUP group," one professor said, "appeared to be the only thing that scared the administration. One chairman said that "approxi mately eight departments in the Arts and Science College had been affected in the past few years by this atmosphere of administrat ive suppression." Another source stated that sev eral of the college deans evidently consider their function to be solely one of "implementing administrat ive policy." A prominent Arts and Science . k. k! that tt trd wL bad, Hill demovs the morale of the CzsTersity and its constitaent colleges. (2) It endangers the fine prin ciples of academic freedom. , (3) It often slanders the profes sional competence of an excellent employee. Several other professors told The Nebraskan that "The very life blood of what has been, a great University is being drained away partly because , of . "lack of ade quate moral support on the part of the administrative authorities. "Usurpation of authority" seems to be the thread which ties most of the cases together, one profes sor told a Nebraskan reporter. Another Arts and Scieace pro fessor,' who talked at. length wi& Nebraskan reporters, asserted "that bis particular case had been "mal- Bouwsma To Head Philosophy Group Dr. Oets Eouwsma. professor of philosophy, will succeed to the presidency of lie Americaa Philo sophical Association at the group' SBnual meeting in Eloommglon, Ixii, this weekend. He has served as vice president duritg the past year. Also atteadi&g the meeting will be Dr. C. H. Patterson, chairman of the ds-partment of philosophy, and Dr. Bruce Waters, associate professor of philosophy. t i m feasance of office as handled by the administrative officials. A group of Arts and Sciences professors confided that, in their opinion, such methods as cutting appropriations, manipulating ten ure privileges, refusing to raise salaries of certain professors, re fusing to fulfill promises granted to administrators, usurping the right of department chairmen to choose their own personnel and in creasing the spread between sal aries of deans and instructors has brought the morale of the Arts Col lege to its lowest point in vers. Several professors added ; .' ar ticles for publication and texts of speeches dealing with controver sial subjects have been edited by the Public Relations department. Referring to the letterip in The Nebraskan of AprQ which said in part, "The faculty will sit quietly and call their own fear and cowar dice academic respect and aloof ness," one University staff mem ber told a Nebraskan reporter, "This phrase does not go far enough; we are. all just plain scared (of saying anything)." He added that conservative po litical elements in the state bear down hard on those men in any department who discuss issues of a controversial nature.

Upon special rarest of the Ne braskan. Leon Keyserlicg, former Council of Economic Advisors; Murphy Associate Editor of Wallaces' Farmer; and Lauren Soth, Editorial Page Editor of the Des Moines Register and Tribune responded in defense of Mitchell In a letter to the Nebraskan, Soth, originator of the agricultural trip to Russia, stated, "I think Dr. Mitchell has brought a chal lenging and stimulating point of view to the. field of agricultural economics in the Midwest. Though I do not agree with Dr. Mitchell on many issues of economic pol icy, I respect bis point of view and the scholarly basis for bis position." Murphy said, ''In economics a man wbo has oew ideas is always bound to get into trouble. Unless aa economist is careful to lag be hind the average attitudes of bis state, there will be some who will be offended by suggestions which may be orthodox and respectable in ten years time but are not so DOW." "Some groups are always likely to say: This man does not agree wilh us. Therefore be should be demoted or fired. . . "My own feeling is that there will always be aa over-supply of conservative economists. We need to cherish the independent spirits who look for Dew ideas and aren't afraid to go against the current." "The bitter joke in this situa tion is that probably Clyde has more support out in the country for his ideas now than axi.r time since he came to Nebraska."
