DR.
Hungarian Student:
Martin Says Projec
izzling Out' At NU
Dr. John Martin, assistant pro
fessor of journalism, has accused
the Hungarian Student Project of
"fizzling out," maintaining that
the original enthusiasm of the
students has petered down and
the burden Is now borne by one
or two students.
Both the students and the ad
ministration have failed in their
duty to the Hungarian students, he
charged.
In a special interview with the
Daily Nebraskan, Martin stated
that "We have a public relations
job to the United States. If the
students are unfavorably Impres
sed with America the effect will
be detrimental both on them and
on other people with whom they
come in contact."
Martin claimed that the admin
istration of the University opposed
the bringing of the students to the
campus in the first place and are
now failing to take their proper
responsibility towards, them.
The five Hungarian students now
on campus feel "left out" and "as
though life is passing them by,"
he said.
Martin suggested that more stu
dents attempt to include the Hun
garians in activities and that more
students attempt to find them
jobs.
"The University ought to be
able to find jobs for these students
right here on campus," he stated.

Faculty Resignations
Double Normal Rate
The resignations of 38 faculty
members at the Board of Re
gents meeting Tuesday brought
forth a discussion of the serious
ness of the situation at the Uni
versity by the Board and the
Chancellor.
The Chancellor emphasized
that the competition is still as
strong as ever and, in fact, is
increasing.
The Regents received and ap
proved 38 resignations which,
coupled with previous resignations,
meant that instructors were leav
ing the University at twice the
normal rate of turnover, accord
ing to Chancellor Hardin.
When asked by whether the at
titude of the Legislature was hurt
ing the University and adding to
the outflux of people, the Chancel
lor said "The people cannot be
blpmed, for leaving and since they
are looking for long range secur
ity, as is anyone, the delaying
and debating of the Legislature
cannot help their peace of mind."
Arthur Thompson added to the
comments by saying; "People
don't want their salaries depending
on the whims of the weather man.
Somethings must be done to insure
security and advancement of our
faculty."
James Stuart, President of the
Nebraska Alumni Association, stat
ed: "This is my first experience
first hand with the seriousness of
the situation. The idea of losing
38 people from the staff at one
meeting is very disquieting."
In the same vein, Clarence
Swanson added: "People who do
not see the first hand examples
of the situation do not realize how
critical the situation is."
Among the resignations were:
Dr. Varro Tyler, Jr., as
sociate professor of pharmacog
nosy and chairman of the depart
