Editorial Comment:
Although proposals to eliminate phys
ical education as a required course for
freshmen and sophomore women In the
College of Arts and Sciences Isn't meet
ing with much approval from the Women's
P.E. department, the idea is a good one in
the eyes of the Daily Nebraskan.
Arts and Sciences freshman coeds will
still have to take P. E. next year, since the
Board of Regents has not acted yet upon
the proposals to abolish the requirement.
So the earliest year on non-required phys
ical education instruction would be in
1961.
Under the proposals the P.E. courses
still could be used as electives.
Although the P.E. courses have been
required for women since 1885, the argu
ment of a "well-rounded education"
doesn't seem enough of a rationalization
to make physical education a require
ment. If a well-rounded, liberal education
is what the University strives for, it seems
that training the mind rather than the
body should be the primary point to
consider.
This year a study showed that 96 per
cent of all girls in the physical education
program approved of it, a 5 per cent in
crease in approval over 1953. Improve
ments in the program have been made
since then, it is claimed.
The figure of approval does not indicate
anything about the percentage in the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences giving assent.
And even though the program is a good
one-as far as P.E. programs go and
even if most of the participants enjoy
what they are taking, this still does not
I eem to indicate that women's P.E. has
m ironclad stamp of a compulsory sub
ject. Perhaps neglect of physical exercise
among young Americans may have some
thing to do with later cardio-vascular ail
ments, we feel' that Dean Walter Militzer
of the College of Arts and Sciences gives
a better answer to this area of the con
troversy. He said, and rightly so, that the objec
tive of a university is to train the mind.
The health of students is very important,
but is not a function of the A&S degree
program. If a need for certain physical
training or exercise for an individual is
indicated, a private physician or Student
Health could provide the necessary direc
tion. ,
We also tend to agree with several other
arguments Dean Militzer has advanced.
One of his points is that the material
offered in the first four semesters of
P. E. is not university level work. And
if it is not, it has no place on the Uni
versity calendar.
It appears that similar training should
be encouraged more in the elementary
and secondary school levels, since the
major period of physical development
occurs before university age, not after it.
Dean Miltzer also is right when he says
only those subjects which are absolutely
necessary should be made compulsory.
Thus far English is the only subject that
has merited such a position.
The idea of a "well-rounded" education
cannot be too extensive. If so, speech,
anatomy and many other subjects which
might be of some benefit to every stu
dentwould have to be compulsory. It's
obvious that many subjects can't be
classified in the "must" category.
Dean Militzer also pointed out that stu
dents should have as much flexibility as
possible in their schedules, which are al
ready crowded. For the good student,
additional free time will be of great
, benefit.
And, of course, many institutions have
recognized no need for a required wom
en's physical education program, estab
lishing some precedent in the area.
Those are the arguments; it will be up
to the Regents to decide what action
should be taken.
We' think after the Board considers all
the points, P. E. will no longer be on the
required list.
The women's physical education de
' partment will undoubtedly still be with
us, and women who do decide they have
the time, the interest and the need for
physical training certainly will be able
to decide by themselves whether they
should take P. E. or pot.
IFC Slate Victorious
The IFC was successful In electing 100
per cent of its slated candidates to the
1960-61 Student Council.
The Independents were unsuccessful
with their slated candidates this year.
Milton Rogge, Clare Vrba and Fred Rick
ers did not get elected to the college posts
they sought.
Information was not available on the
number of per cent of fraternity men vot
ing since registration will be completed
today, but it is believed to be high, ac
cording to Marty Sophir, IFC president.
Staff Comment
Balm and Sage
As per usual, the majority of the stu
dent body was noticeably absent from
"Sunday's performance of Verdi's "Re
quiem," the department of music's major
choral work of the year.
Prof. Emanuel Wishnow, who directed
the 600 voices and musicians of the Choral
Union, along with the four superb solo
ists, estimated about 3,000 persons at
tended the concert. A quick glance at the
audience proved that no more than half,
if that many', were students, the rest
adults from Lincoln' and surrounding com
munities. Although, this is an increase
from the number that attended last year,
which may be an indication of growing
interest, the lack of student representa
tion is particularly discouraging.
The University was fortunate in obtain
ing a quartet of soloists with the reputa
tions of Adele Addison, Rosemary Kuhl
man, John Alexander and Leon Lishner,
who is a member of the music depart
ment staff. Miss Addison, soprano, sang
the role of Bess in the Goldwyn film,
"Porgy and Bess." She has appeared in
concert with the New York Philharmonic
and the Boston Symphony. Miss Kuhlman,
mezzosoprano, is a protege of Gian-Carlo
Menotti, contemporary compc r. Alex
ander is a leading tenor soloist with the
New York Opera Company and has sung
major roles in several operas. Lishner,
bass, associate professor of music, has
sung in countless performances on Broad
way and Europe, in addition to his yearly
role in the television presentation of
"Amahl and the Night Visitors."
With talent as outstanding as this, it
would be almost impossible to put on a
performance less than superior. Although,
it may not always be the case, the fact
that such talented artists are drawn to the
University for such a presentation indi-
By Herb Probasco
cates a vote of confidence in the music
department.
There can be little argument against
attending anything as educational and
entertaining as Sunday's concert. Cost
was no factor, since there was no admis
sion fee. The only requirement was an
hour and a half of the student's time,
which most can spare judging by how
much time is wasted by the majority. We
would hope that there wouldn't be any
body who is immature enough to look
down their noses at such a program as be
ing too formal and heavy, because such an
individual does not belong in a higher
education institution with such a view.
It does little good to harp on this sub
ject, because it's water over the dam.
Little can be said that will cause a great
renaissance among the student body.
Rather than a barb thrown at the students
we mean to commend the music depart
ment for its hard work and the quality
of the production which was one of the
finest cultural achievements seen on the
campus for a long time.
.
Student Council returns are in and the
Independents were shut out, as far as
their specific slate was concerned. The
Interfraternity Council slate was elected
100 per cent. This can have both good and
bad overtones. Chances are the IFC reps
will serve as completely as any Indepen
dent, although this certainly is no hard
and fast rule and should not be looked
upon as such. What must be watched is
that the Student Council does not become
a political organ of the Greek system. The
majority of the IFC does not have this as
its intention, but students should be mind
ful of any faction that could develop on the
Student Council as a result of an IFC
slate.

Beware, Says Brown;
You Too Have Phobias
Rubber Stamp?
Student Tribunal Subject
To A 'One-Man Veto'
This being an election
year, the American public
is likely to register a rise
in "politicophobia," accord
ing to Dr. L. Guy Brown,
head of the University of
Rhode Island department
of sociology.
"Politicophobia is a dis
like of unscrupulous politi
cal persons, and this dislike
may vary in degree from a
rather mild antipathy to a
morbid fear of such per
sons," Dr. Brown said dur
ing a discussion of a glos
sary of 161 phobias he has
compiled from his sociology
leal investigations.
Dr. Brown said politico
phobia was particularly as
cendant during the so
called Communist Congres
sional hearings conducted
by the late Senator McCar
thy . "I've known people
who were so revolted by
his tactics that i they
couldn't bear ' watching '
him on television, or listen
ing to the radio reports,"
he said.
Other phobias cited by
Dr. Brown include aichmo
phobia, a dread of pointed
instruments that makes
people fear innoculations;
brontophobia, fear of thun
der and lightning; cynopho
bia, fear of dogs; topopho
bia, or stage-fright; and
bibliophobia, or a fear of
books, such as those deal
ing with subject matter like
disease or insantiy, for
instance, which the person
may fear.
Other more common
fears include epistilophbo
bia, dread of receiving a
letter or telegram; melis-.
sophobia, fear of bees or
wasps; neophobia, fear of
new things or the unknown
and some special aver
sions such as basiphobia,
dread of walking; gynepho
bia, opposition to the so-
ciety of women; musico
phobia, fear of music; and
xenophobia, dead of stran
gers. Every normal individual
has some sort of phobias,
but Dr. Brown said there's
no need for anyone to have
phobophobia, or "fear of
one's own fears."
Modern art has reached
the point where it all looks
alike, in the opinion of one
Fresno City College art in
structor, according to the
Associated Collegiate
Press.,
"At some of the big
shows one gets the feeling
that all the work could
have been done by one per
son," Walter E. Witt told a
FCC .Rampage reporter.
"The individualists have
defeated their purpose,"
Witt said, "but as long as
handwriting is different
we're going to have differ
ent expressions in art.'!
Where does he think art
will go from here? "If I
knew I'd be a rich man in
five or 10 years."
Witt was reminded of a
saying he had heard: "The
modern artist is like an
oyster fisherman; he has
to go further into the wa
ter for each catch."
As an after thought, he
added, "And some of them
are in over their heads,
and will drown fast if they
don't watch out."
From the UCLA Daily
Bruin comes the report of
a "prejudice-proof" grad
ing system for UCLA's Law
School.
The new system resulted
from a fight between a stu
dent and a professor who
allegedly failed him be
cause of "political dis
agree m e nt s," and de
stroyed his examination
paper to prevent recourse.
In the new grading sys
tem, numbers are assigned
to final exam papers and
professors have no access
to students' names. Grad
ing is by number only.
Not until grades are en
tered and distributed can
a professor find out a stu
dent's number, but he can
add or subtract three points
from a student's grade for
class participation and at
tendance before seeing the
number.
"This gives a student
complete freedom to say
what he wants in class, and
it discourages the kind of
student who curries favor,"
the Daily Bruin said.
This is the fourth In s series of
articles dlirusilns the operation of the
Student Tribunal, fraturlnr an Inter
pretation of that body's procedures by
Doc Bodcers. Dally Nebraskan copy
editor and former rice chairman of
the Tribunal.
By Doc Rodgers
The Tribunal, when it
does have a case upon
which it must decide the
issue of guilt, does not have
adequate power to enforce
its decision.
Why create a body of
nine judges the compe
tence of which is assured
by the complex selection
methods whose decision
can be overruled by o n e
man. The faculty judges
are chosen by the chancel
lor from names submitted
by the faculty committee
on committees. The student
judges have to meet vari
ous requirements and are
screened twice in Student
Council interviews.
Can a body which . only
recommends be any more
than a rubber stamp for
the administration? I think
not.
While there is undoubted
ly some inertia in favor of
the approval of a recom
mendation, there is no rea
son why the dean of stu
dents should not decide a
case on the basis of his
personal opinion. He may
"weigh" the recommenda
tion of the Tribunal and
then "counter-balance" it
with personal considera
tions. There is no consistency
in an agency, any agency,
acting both as prosecution
and judge. That shoe fits
no man. The division of
student affairs should re
sign itself to the prosecu
tion of conduct violation
cases, establish an inde
pendent staff of "public
defender's" (students to act
as counsel for the defend
ers), and leave the judging
to the judges.
There would be a void
created by the abolishment
of the "one-man veto" sys
tem, that being that tha
Tribunal might in some
cases be too harsh on the
students.
The student should have
the right to appeal -his
case. This appeal, how
ever, should not be made
to the dean of students but
to the faculty senate com
mittee on student appeals,
whose powers should be in
creased and made a body
with appellate jurisdiction.
That is, it would not have
original jurisdiction but
cases could be appealed to
it by any student who
wished to do so.
The fifth snd final article In this
series will summariie the Tribunal
operation and deal with the need for
additional oublic Information of th
Tribunal's decisions.
