News Editors Hell and High By Les Glotfelty iter Subtlety is nice stuff. Wo have found out ninny things about subtlety since Hell and High Water came into existence. The faculty wishes us to be more subtle. The junior women wish us to be more subtle, the organizations wish us to be more subtle. We also wish to be more subtle for obvious reasons. Hereafter we recommend that all three readers of this column keep handy a dictionary, International Code P.ook, a copy of Emily Post and Burpei s Seed Catalog so that they may derive the true meaning from our statements. We were typing up some juicy bits today and our copy kept coming out of the typewriter in blue print. We couldn't understand it at all, until someone said, "Oh, that's just the Mortar Board ribbons." The Cornhusker uses our ribbons, ftngs for Servicemen use our ribbons, the soldiei's ise our ribbons; and now the Mil's take our ribbons clear out and put their own blue ones in. Just what they want with blue ribbons in the first place, is beyond us, and equally beyond ws is what blue ribbons have to do with the Nebraskan office. It isn't like we were prize ears of com or something. Society Has It Comings And Goings Carry News Of Week Now that spring is really here, people who ring fire alarms to get other people out in the cold, just to amuse themselves, of course, will have to find other forms of entertainment which shouldn't be hard now that spring has really come, so there you are now that spring has come and the AST is leaving, gals can begin cutting their classes that were manless even before the AST left and can coke in the abandoned grill to their hearts content . And now that spring has come, one Quentin Allen, former SAE, is coming, too, all of which makes us wonder how much he has to do with the recent rumor about DG "Johnnie" Johnson since it was this boy himself who on Valen- (sat. 1 FEa J george KING I and his J Orchestra I V Aim.

It Is honed by The Nehrankan that these articles may acquaint the public with the university's need for more adequate appropriations.) Two concrete examples will il lustrate our difficulties. Recently we found it necessary to look elsewhere for a man to occupy one of our important instructional and administrative positions. At the same time a neighboring state university was looking for a man for the same type of appointment in the same academic field. The administrative officers of the neighboring institution were able to offer 62 percent more salary than we could offer. Naturally they were able to get a more ex perienced man of higher piofes sional standing than we could secure. Recently we lost one of our staff members who held a key po sition in both teaching and re search. We lost him to a mid western state university of our class and size at a starting salary 60 percent above what we were paying him and with assurance that in the next fiscal year his salary would 75 percent above the one he had when he left Nebraska. Many such instances could be cited to show that the institution is between the upper and nether millstones: too frequently we can not meet the competition of other comparable institutions either to hold excellent staff members or to call such men from other posi tions. We recently had an instance in which a staff member resigned to accept a position with an in crease in salary of more than 100 percent. This does not mean that the university has lost all its good men. We still have many staff members of high standing in their respective fields. When one of these men is lost, however, the loss is too frequently irrep arable because of inadquat funds for replacement. That we have as many excellent staff members as are still with us is due to the fact that many of them have refused offers of substantial increases in salary elsewhere either because of loy alty to the institution or be cause of personal reasons for preferring not to move. Minimum Essentials. Large financial resources do not in themselves guarantee ex cellence of performance; resources must be expended wisely and there must be efficient adminis tration. In university administra tion, however, as in other types cf institutional administration and in the purchase of commodities, there is a high correlation be tween expenditures and quality obtained unless there is waste and maladministration. And there is a lower limit to unit costs below which it is virtually impossible to obtain even passable performance unless one can literally work miracles. In some parts of the univer sity's extensive program it may justly be said that, as far as is humanly possible, miracles have been wrought, because perform ance is so much higher than would normally be expected from the re sources that have been and are now available to these parts. But we have exhausted more than our share of such miracle working and in each instance we are in danger of losing the miracle worker the key man unless we can compen sate him adequately. Boucher (Continued From Page 1.) have constituted a much larger percent of the activities than the approximately fifty percent at this university." Whether the army college train ing programs may be revitalized or completely abandoned during the coming summer, Nebraska will offer complete courses for ci vilian students next September, he said.
