An Open Letter
To Bill Orwig
Dear Mr. Orwig:
Not to sound nostalgic, but we are writing this letter
with mixed emotions. We are happy that you have re
ceived the opportunity to advance in your chosen profes
sion. At the same time we are sorry that you are leaving
the University and the state of Nebraska.
Your tenure here has been anything but uneventful.
Many times we have joined in the criticism, just as many
times we have joined in the back-slapping. Now, we the
students, are joining together to w ish you the best of luck.
Your tireless efforts have resulted in attracting most
of the top Nebraska high school athletes, as well as other
outstanding competitors from surrounding states.
Your help in establishing the Extra Point Club and
Touchdown Club has become an important aspect in
reviving financial aid to Nebraska athletes.-
Not only will your leadership In the field of athletics
be long remembered, but also your counseling and par
ticipation in other campus activities will be long appre
ciated. Many times vou have gone out of your way to help an
individual, whether his problems be social or educa
tional. This too, will be long remembered.
We also appreciate the fact too, that your office door
has always remained open to meet the daily flow of
friends and foes.
Whether vou know it or not, Mr. Orwig, you have be
come an idol "to many athletes. Your conduct always has
been a credit to the University and the people of Ne
braska. - .
This, by now, has become a trite phrase, but we think
it appropriate to repeat it once more: NEBRASKA'S
LOSS IS INDIANA'S GAIN.
Dave Calhoun, editor
Daily Nebraskan
The Catacombs
After reading some criti
cism of my feeble literary
efforts, and I might sin
cerely add that I was
pleased to see it, I have
exhumed myself, h a d my
"Little hot hand" tattooed,
and once again attacked the
typewriter in my mediocre
manner. I hope that this
bit of malarky appeals to
the thinking public that is
avidly awaiting my column.
REALLY?
The subject for today's
sermon is cheating. I was
overjoyed to find that a
real coarse in this art w as
being offered this semester,
for seniors only. Let's face
it, anybody who has lived
three and a half years at
Cheaters' Paradise should
be able to write a brilliant
thesis. The only prereq
uisites for the coarse are
"Rink y-dink 26" and
"Mickeymouse 30" or a
generally jaundiced outlook
en college life.
The honorable Percival
Slphonse Sliggle; Ph.C (doc
tor of cheating,) is the
most interesting and infor
mative instructor. His first
lecture, which follows
in part, was like a glass
of beer best taken with a
grain of salt.
"First, my office hours:
12:59-1 Tuesday night, by
appointment only, for the
female members of the
class 1-3 on Wednesday if

Saturday morning from 7-12

booth from the left in the
2nd row on the right from

the striped couch in t h e

are to be made two semes
ters in advance on a pink
requisition slip signed by
adviser, dean of college, 15
Rag columnists, and any
other interested parties.
The test, "Cheating Can
Be Fan" subtitled "M e i n
Katnpf No Longer" (1962
ed., revised) w r i 1 1 e a by
yours truly, can be bought
for only $15.47 (used) at tbe
nearest book store. Since
only five books have been
ordered, US of yon blokes
are going to have trouble
reading the assignments. Of
coarse yon can get the book
at East Sandhill C i t y Li

of a window that hasn't
been opened for 17 years
in the third floor attic. Per

The following is the syl
labus for the course. These
tcpicj and many more of
lasting interest win be ex
pounded upon during the
coming semester. Theater

offered. People who have
had "Brown-nose 42" can-

less they can prove their I
adeptness in the aforemen- I
tkmed course.
One more thing I HATE 1
cheats:" 1
While my doting readers
are still chuckling o v e r
this superficial bit of fluff, I
I shall take this opportu-
nity to remind that cheat-
ing is of course about this
silly when looked at from
one angle. But from other i
viewpoints, like from the i
standpoint of the attitudes i
of some instructors and the i
extreme differences in i
courses, it assumes a much ;
different perspective.
Teachers who announce i
boldly the first day of i
classes that they "frown" i
upon cheating, (and if I
may be so bold, who is go
ing to say he's all for it?) i
yet for the remainder of j
the year do everything to i
abet it same tests for j
.years, un-proctored exams,
guess tests, and in addition,
failure to reprimand those ;
who are obviously riding to
the ends of their tests on
"ponies" are as bad as
those who cheat. Actually
the instructors themselves
are cheating cheating stu
dents out of a decent
chance to get an education.
College itself provides an
incentive to get anything
the quickest and the easiest
way. With so much empha
sis being placed on grades,
yet activities, a stideat
finds himself in a virtual
maze should be transfer to
an easier college or stick it
out in A Sc S? It is sicken
ing to a few of the stalwarts
to see courses for the same
number of credits being of
fered in various colleges,
yet the amount of time and
effort required is vastly dif
ferent. Until the differences be
tween colleges and most
importantly the laxness of
some instructors can be
rectified, I fear the prob
lem will continue to be with
us, and the campus will
continue to resound with
"They said that cheaters
n e v e r win ... but we
won."

SMAY I TURN
Black Masque Chapter of
Mortar Board is presenting
a series of articles which
will be published each
Wednesday for the next
few months in the Daily
Nebraskan.
The members have been
doing research throughout
various areas of the Uni
versity. We have felt that
many students have a rath
er narrow concept of the
University one which is
limited to going to classes
and taking finals. Have you
ever stopped to consider
that the instructor who con
ducts one of your classes
is perhaps nationally, or
even internationally known?
Too often we students
take for granted the many
opportunities availed us by
the University and f a i 1 to
acknowledge the fact that
we are attending an excel
lent school. As Nebraskans
we simply apologize to out
siders for being such, make
some negative statement
about the University and
let it go at that. We have
so much here of which we
can be proud:
The Mortar Boards have
found some interesting
facts and would like to
share them with you. It is
our hope that some of these
facts will help to instill
some of this lost pride and
loyalty.
Today's article deals with
the facts and faculty of the
College of Business Admin
istration. "Interview only the up
per third of each class,
with the exception of the
University of Nebraska.
There you may look below
the top third." These are
the instructions given the
personal interviewers of
Collins Radio and many
more of the companies
which come to Nebraska
seeking new employees. In
the College of Business Ad
ministration some 65 com
panies called on the gradu
a t i n g seniors, conducting
over 1,400 student inter
views. Several national account
ing firms as well as such
companies as Ford, Proc
tor & Gamble, Bank of
America, Bendix and East
man Kodak, in addition to
Nebraska firms, are just a
few of the companies
which come to Nebraska
every year.
The demand for Nebras
ka "Biz Ad" graduates it
not surprising if one takes
a look at tbe college's his
tory, present facilities and
staff, and successful re
sults. For example, the College
of Business Administration
was one of the 13 charter
members of The Associa
tion of Collegiate Schools of
Business, which is the na
tional business accrediting
association. Nebraska, of
course, was the first of the
Big 8 schools to belong to
this organization.
A recent advancement in
the college has been in the
installation of electronic
data processing machines.
The most important asset
in any college, of course, is
its teaching staff. Nebras

THESE IN FOR A
Around Our Campus
ka's Business administra
tion has been fortunate in
this area, having many of
their professors recognized
nationally for their services
in teaching and research.
Within the last three
years our professors have
been kept busy sen ing the
nation and the state. Pro
fessor Raymond Dein has
served as director of t h e
Research of American Ac
counting Association, and
has been slated for the
presidency of the associa
tion. Professor Edgar Pal
mer has served as presi
dent of the Associated Uni
versity Bureaus of Busi
ness Research and Dr. Cur
tis Elliott is an Educational
Consultant to the National
Association of Insurance
Agents.
Professor E. B. Schmidt
has won regional respect
in the field of state taxa
tion. He has been extreme
ly effective in our state's
reappraisal of its tax pro
gram. In addition to these
activities, six textbooks be
ing used on ours and many
other campuses are tbe
products of four members
of the Business Administra

Six miles above a falls in
a certain river, stands an
old stump on the bank; on
a certain summer afternoon
a man launched his rowboat
with the intention of rowing
upstream to fish. When he
was opposite the stump he
noticed a bottle flowing
downstream in the current
but he continued on his way
rowing at a steady rate.
However, as time went on
he became hotter and hotter
and thought more and more
longingly of the bottle he
had passed by until finally
