... TO THE UNIVERSITY'S EXPERIMENTAL PEACE
CONFERENCE, now so successfully completed. The entire
conference, irom us conception 10 uie unai ouupuun w
the treaty, represented one oi me iinesi euucautmai cmci
prises in the history of the university.
The entire school, faculty and students alike, joined
in making the conference a realistic, interesting, construc
tive educational project. From the conference, today's
students gained information and experience which will be
invaluable to them when they assume their roles as to
morrow's leaders.
The conference brought great credit and distinction
to the University of Nebraska, , reflected favorably upon
the entire state. The subject of much nation-wide pub
licity and interest, it set a precedent which many other
American universities and colleges will undoubtedly follow.
The university may well be proud.
And View With Alarm . ...
. . . THE LOW SALARIES PAID UN FACULTY MEM
BERS. The fact that members of the university staff are
in general grievously underpaid is coming more and more
into the open, is being more generally recognized and
lamented by students of the university and citizens of
the state.
A statement presented to the state legislature last
week by a faculty group brought the whole matter of in
adequate salaries very much into the limelight. The state
ment said, in part, that the university has lost many good
professors because of the low salary scale and will con
tinue to lose good men unless steps are taken to remedy
"the low level of faculty pay in general, the seeming lack
of university funds to provide a sufficient increase in salary
to retain good men, and the inadequate pension allowance
on retirement."
The whole salary issue boils down to this simple fact:
The university needs more money. Given more funds, UN
could check the alarming emigration of outstanding pro
fessors, raise faculty salaries to the level where they belong.

LETTERIP ,
Lt. BERTRIL E. LANDSTROM, Beta Sig,
has been awarded the Air Medal for "meri
torious achievement while participating in
aerial flight." Landstrom flew his first
combat bombing mission against Nazi in
dustrial concentrations at Plaven, Germany.
He has flown 18 missions over enemy tar
gets in Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia.
The university community responded
magnificently in the Red Cross campaign.
Faculty and employes met their quota in
three days and late subscriptions put them
well over their goal. Students and student
organizations exceeded the goal set by th
AUF within the week.
I wish to express my appreciation to all
contributors and especially to the many
solicitors whose work resulted in another
uick victory.
