Exchange papers from other universities
in the Midwest are piled high on the Ne
braskan office windowsills. Wading through
the mass of them to open a window t'other
day, we ran into some interesting items.
In the Iowa State Daily Student, a society
headline literally knocked us for a loop. The
headline "Pledges of Alpha Delta Pi Will
Entertain at Beer Party." To coin a phrase,
"It couldn't happen here."
In the Daily Northwestern, we see where
one of tha local gals is dating Lt. (j.g.)
Robert Stack. Remembering the lush scenes
he played opposite Deanna Durbin, we say
it should happen here. We understand, to
top it off, that our well-known Captain
Robert Adams is leaving before long. Oh,
well, we can't have everything.
A columnist in the Minnesota Daily got
carried away in a hot discussion of the rela
tive merits of kissing the Engineer's Day
queen there. Seems it is an old tradition,
and the columnist says, "If the coronation
ceremony could be topped off by gently
kissing the queen's hand, it might meet
public approval." Two bits says the en
gineers rebel at that.

eemmiMft. the administrative eoanell f
dnuin, and the board regenta. It la
hoped by the Nebraskan that these ar
ttele may acquaint the public with the
university's need for more adequate appro-
pnHirons;.
If a university has ambition for
the attainment of greatness, its
administrative officers should
nevr use a rise In available re
sources for a blanket increase of
all salaries a distribution of re
wards to all alike on the basis of
a percentage of current salaries.
Similarly, when confronted with a
decrease in available resources, the
responsible administrative officers
should not take the easy path of
least resistance and invoke a hori
zontal salary out on a salary per
centage basis.
Either policy, when adopted,
serves notice to the staff members
that the administrative officers
are either too cowardly or lack the
wisdom to recognize patent differ
ences in ability, in achievement
and in quality of services ren
dered; it serves notice that poor
or perfunctory performance is re
warded equally with exceptionally
fine performance, and that the
latter may be penalized equally
and incentive to fine performance,
breed a lackadaisical time-serving
attitude, and cause the best staff
members to look for a more con
genial atmosphere elsewhere while
the mediocre and poor staff mem
bers settle down into innocuous
desuetude or worse.

. Bulletin Advises
tive officers to exercise discrimina
tion in the use of funds when the
budget total w on a rising curve
than when it is on a descending
surve. In the latter instance real
fortitude is required and its ex
ercise is imperative if the welfare
of the university is to be safe
guarded. Teaching, Research, Service.
This leads to the question: What
is worthy of recognition in the
award of increases in salary and
promotions in rank? The answers
are three: First, exceptionally good
teaching which is genuinely in
spiring (not merely pleasing) and
reflects significant study and hon
est research in course design with
a view to the attainment of clearly
stated educational objectives, ex
perimentation with, and the de
velopment of, effective instruction
al methods, the design of improved
instructional materials, and the
use of the most nearly valid and
reliable measurements of instruc
tional results that can be designed;
second, and of equal importance
in a university, significant re
search productivity at the gradu
ate and truly professional level,
and not merely perfunctory "busy
work" that is paraded as research
merely because it may have been
published some place even tho it
is of a quality that any plodding
and methodical senior might have
produced; third, but worthy only
of salary increase and net promo
tion in rank unless to administra
tive position ,is effective service
to the institution on committees or
in minor administrative assign
ments. Research and the Graduate College
A staff member who has dem
onstrated that he has talent and
capacity for research should not
only be provided with the neces
sary equipment but should period
ically be given preferential con
sideration in teaching assignments
and be freed from committee and
routine administrative duties in
order that he may have the time
necessary for the pursuit of a sig
nificant research project.

A DURATION DO!
Your shirt are valuable items these days and
appreciate special handling.
Turn up your shirt collar before sending it
to the laundry. A collar wathed flat doesn't fray
o easily at the crease.
Have your shirts laundered frequently. A too
toiled shirt requires more scrubbing and conse
quently wears out more quickly.
Go easy on the starch. Starching stiffens fabric,
no that it breaks instead of bending. ,
When you buy, buy Arrow. Arrow shirts are
longer-lasting, better-fitting, and carry the San
forized label (fabric shrinkage less than 1).
