Scholastic Service Stations
Schools of the future will be service stations of educa
tion, predicts Dr. Lester H. Munzenmayer, professor of
education at Kent State university.
Schooling will be more of a continuous program, the
professor explains. Every two or three years, students will
return to study and apply the latest methods in their fields,
Dr. Munzenmayer believes that the ability to live and
work with people will be highly stressed in the schoolroom
of tomorrow. Education will be less formal and more em
phasis will be placed on knowledge, skill and actual working
experience rather than just textbook material, he adds.

Post War Psychology
Dr. Mary G. Kelty, president of the National Council of
Social Studies, Washington, D. C, who recently addressed
the Social Studies conference on this campus, made "good
sense" to most who heard her. Her emphasis of the theory
that the psychology of the teacher is a matter of importance
comparable to that of the returning soldier bares a definite
relation and a possible answer to "Is College Education
Meeting the Needs of the Veteran ?" a question that is being
asked frequently by both educators and laymen. Dr. Kelty
believes that the ability of both teacher and the soldier to
adapt himself to a changing world constitutes a vital issue
for the country. Both, according to her, face a need for re
conversion that must be met, and met successfully at once.

The faculty committee com
posed of Professors H. C. Filley,
R. W. Goss, J. M. Reinhardt, T.
J. Thompson and O. H. Werner,
submitted the following general
qualifications to the Board of Re
gents: 1. The chancellor of the Uni
versity of Nebraska occupies a po
sition of prime intellectual and
educational leadership in the state.
As such a leader, he must be more
than a public relations officer, an
educational efficiency expert, an
administrative specialist, or simp
ly an engaging public personality.
He should, first of all, be thor
oughly grounded in the funda
mentals of learning, such as his
tory, literature, and the natural
and social sciences, and he should
have an appreciation of the basic
knowledge upon which the pro-

"K K"
Usually when we come to work
Saturday morning there s a siignt
lv steDDed-on feeling but this
weeK we looked like the aftermath
of the "Charge of the Light Bri
gade." And no wonder, after peg
ging pebbles at all the street
lights on O street in the dead of
the night before.
Friday evening got off to a fine
start as we tripped (literally) up
to the Navy Ball. Arrived 27 sec
onds too late to use the knowledge
concerning receiving line we d
eained that afternoon with a quick
perusal of the first 697 pages of
Emily Post. When we discovered
Chancellor Boucher was not in the
line, and hadn't sent his regrets,
we had none about being late.
Most students get to see him
twice, once at the freshman recep
tion and again when he hands
them a diploma. Guess we're just
a rank outsider. And after all the
gold braid last night we know
what rank is.
A quick look over the ballroom
convinced us the older girls knew
what they were talking about
when they kept telling us the war
time campus lacked clamour. This
navy affair really had "it." Dim
blue lights centered on a four
teen foot anchor in the middle of
the floor, and there Ginsburg did
his trapeze act between dances.
Joyce Lambert's torch songs fur
nished most of the illumination
(warmth, too) with a bit of aid
from lamps scattered on the peri
phery. Punch on the third deck, a
Freethy-Sibert duet, and an out
of this world (meaning super spe
cial) quartet made intermission a
delight. Can't move on without
mentioning Gard, Hatton, Johnson
and Stade, who created a terrific
musical impression.
The flower garden of swishing
silk, cotton and taffeta gowns
made us realize why the male of
the species considers all the at
tendant "fuss" worthwhi' Ca
ramba, every man there ad a
white shirt!
After standing more than a little
longer than the cab company's
promised five minutes, we saw a
twinkling dome light in the dis
tance. Might have gotten bored in
the meantime, had it not been for
a slight auto mixup which delayed
traffic, and gave us a chance to
play leapfrog on car tops. In prac
tically no time (practically) we
arrived at the sixteenth annual
Sig Ep Blue Party in the Lincoln
ballroom.
Naturally everyone stopped and
looked when we entered. The fact
that the music stopped too, might
have had a little to do with that,
we suppose. Just as it started
again someone dashed up and
swept us off our feet. Must have
been mutual, for within two min
utes he was flat on the floor.
Never could get that fifth Lindy
break just right. After the ap
plause we picked up the pennies
and continued with Cole's culture.
Praise the Lord, neither party
crowned a queen, princess or a
sweetheart. We've resigned our
selves to tha tignominious 2 per
cent of the coed population which
is always a bridesmaid but never
a bride. Seems people think we're
more Queenie than queenly.
Greatest indoor sport of the eve
ning was not acting as target in
the penny tossing contest, or try
ing to recognize people without
our familiar black binoculars, but
arguing the waitress out of the
salad bowl to augment the steak.
Of course we had steak, what
else could Duane order after we
pinned him to the wall when he
suggested a sandwich? Couldn't
exactly blame the waitress if she
got things a bit twisted, she's
probably only been there a year.
And she has to split her tips with
the boss, anyway.
Any tendency to drowsiness was
well allayed in that mad dash to
get the girls back on the campus
by one. Can't very well pray and
talk at the same time, so the car
was unusually quiet. Don't get
nosy now, pray was what the girl
said.
Then, as Samuel Pepys, not
Amber, said, "and so to bed." Just
to think, all our lives we've
dreamed of the exciting, exotic
whirl of college social life. Now
that we're in it, we don't have
time to dream. Why, we scarcely
have time to warm the sheets be
fore the alarm rings.
Some people think the milk
man has the nicest occupation of
all, because he- has an excuse to
stay out all night. "But he's work
ing." "Well!"

Faculty Notes
fessions represented by the col
leges in the university rest.
2. The chancellor should be a
man of naturally co-operating dis
position, devoted to democratic
ideals and liberal principles. This
characteristic is of utmost impor
tance if happy working conditions,
which are essential to securing the
maximum effort of the staff, are
to prevail, and if a proper atmos
phere is to be created within the
student body.
3. The chancellor should be a
man of considerable instructional
experience and he should have
contributed to the field of know
ledge through his own research.
4. The chancellor should be a
man who appreciates the charac
ter of the midwest, and who has a
sympathetic understanding of ru
ral life and its problems as well
as those of the professional world.
While it is not necessary that he
be a graduate of the University of
Nebraska, nor a native of the
state, it is desirable that he un
derstand Nebraska, its problems
and its people.
5. The chancellor should be a
man whose experience has gixen
him an Insight Into the problems
involved In the administration of
a tax-supported. land-rrant uni
versity and a knowledge of the
responsibilities of such an institu
tion to the people of the state.
6. In conclusion, it is the hoDe
of the faculty that sufficient time
will be taken to study carefully
the situation and its needs, even
though a temporary arrangement
has to be made to direct the of
fice of the chancellor because of
the ill health of Chancellor

WASHINGTON The Soviet
Union has asked for a 16 day post
ponement of the U.N.O. meeting to
be held March 25. President Tru
man last Thursday made a flat
statement that the meeting will
not be postponed, and that the
United States delegation will press
for action in the explosive Iran
ian question. Iran has asked the
U.N.O. to reject Russia's request,
for this postponement which was"
made on the grounds that Russia
needed more time to prepare her
case on Iran.
