To McheSS's Charges
Closed Hearing Scheduled On Controversial Case
Four members of the University
administration have responded to
charges made by Dr. C. Clyde
Mitchell, former professor of, agri
cultural economics and chairman
of the Department of Agricultural
Economics.
Those responding to Dr. Mitch
ell's allegations were Chancellor
Hardin, Dean of Faculties A. C.
Breckenridge, Dean W. V. Lambert
of the College of Agriculture, and
J. E. Selleck, University business
manager.
A closed hearing of the Univers
ity Faculty Committee on Priv
ilege and Tenure will be held at
2:30 p.m., Feb. 21, in room 107,
Law Building. The hearing will not
be open to the press, David Dow,
chairman of the faculty commit
tee stated.
The pending case of Mitchell
before the Committee on Academ
ic Privilege and Tenure, involves
the charges of Dr. Mitchell that
his academic freedom has been
violated.
Mitchell called for an investiga
tion into the specific causes of his
removal from the chairmanship of
the agricultural economics depart
ment. The first hint of the possible de
motion of Dr. C. Clyde Mitchell
from his position as chairman of
the department of agricultural ec
onomics came on April 12, 1956.
Rumors reached the Nebraskan
that the decision, called "irrevo
cable and final" had been an
nounced at a staff meeting of the
department of agricultural econ
omics held shortly before spring
vacation. Persons in attendance
said the demotion was due to "out
side pressures" which were not
clearly defined at the meeting.
On April 17 the rumor was con
firmed when W. V. Lambert, Dean
of the College of Agriculture, an
nounced after consultation with the
Chancellor that a successor to
Mitchell was being sought.
The reason given by Lambert
was "to strengthen beyond pres
ent levels the research and ex
tension programs in agricultural
economics." The Dean denied that
his decision involved Dr. Mitchell's
tenure.
The Nebraskan wrote to many
outside sources concerning the is
sue. Returns indicated a high de
gree of confidence in Mitchell's
ability. Certain professors pre
viously connected with the Uni
versity indicated that the stand of
are being asked to recruit workers.
The goal for Work Day is $1,000,
Miss Craig said. All profits will
go into the Hungarian Student Proj
ect fund which now stands at ap
proximately $1,600.
Persons wishing to employ stu
dents may call 2-4328 at any hour
of 2-2079 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Calls for jobs will be taken Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Miss Craig said jobs will be as
signed to students in advance with
two students being sent on each
job if possible.
IFC Meeting
There will be a special meeting
of the IFC Wednesday at 7 p.m. in

By CAROLE FRANK
Copy Editor
Sara Laszlo, the University's
first Hungarian refugee student,
is a charming 23-year-old girl,
who is very eager to learn Eng

our language for three weeks at
Bard College in New York, Sara

She can understand her instruc

Sara carries an English-Hungarian

Attending school in Dunas

Before escaping over the bor

On May 15, the Chancellor issued
a statement in which he denied
that the University had in any
case violated the spirit of the prin

On May 23, Mitchell issued a
