' " March 9, 1948 Mr. Jack Hill, Editn- Daily Nebraskan Student Union Campus Dear Mr. Hill: In your editorial in the Nebraskan under date of March 9th, and entitled "Iowa State Lead" you have misrepresented my state ments as contained in the "Dean's Corner" of the Nebraska Blue Print of January. You have certainly misrepresented my position on this important question. Because of this misrepresentation, I feel that you should print the complete statement made in that issue of the Blue Print and bearing my signature. Following a statement of the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association rule which you have been dis cussing were these paragraphs. "In a poll taken by the Student Council, the students voting were almost unanimously of the opinion that this section of the rule should be eliminated. This change would permit a Nebraska athletic team to play any Negro student who is a regular member even though the game were played at the University of Missouri or the University of Oklahoma. Such an alteration of the rule would make a law under which a social change of attitude could take place. According to my theory this would be right. "The poll also showed a substantial majority of the students voting believed the University of Nebraska and other schools of like opinion should withdraw and form another conference, leaving the Universities of Missouri and Oklahoma outside unless . they would agree to the change of rules. This would constitute an attempt to create a social change by compulsion. According to my theory this would be wrong. We are entitled to the privilege of playing student teams representing; us regardless of where we compete. If such a rule change caused Missouri and Oklahoma to leave the conference, such leaving should be their choice and certainly not because of our coercion." I do not want to be misrepresented on an important question of this kind. The above quoted paragraphs certainly indicate that I am personally In favor of changing the rule. I have maintained this position both as an individual and as a member of the Board of Intercollegiate Athletics. I hope this makes my position clear. Roy M. Green Dean, College of Engineering and Architecture KUITOR H NOTKi llran flrrrn'i letter was written the day of Hill's editorial. It wae brought to the attention ot The Nebrankan Saturday. The present editorial staff regrets deeply the Injimtlce dime Deaa Or era by not making the letter public upua rereipt. The taff, however, bad no knowledge of the letter at that lime. PLAN TO ATTEND Two weeks of meetings with: REV. JOE CARSON Mi.MO.NTON, CANADA V MR. J. STRATTON SHUFELT WHEATON, ILL. MAR. 11-18, 7:15 P. M Havelock Gospel Tabernacle 6433 HAVELOCK AVE., LINCOLN Sage Foundation Praises Law College Sixty-Day Drive to Raise Funds Planned The University law college course of study was praised Friday as "well ahead of any other law school" in the nation in recognizing the important role of lawyers in public life. The endorsement came in a special report on legal education in the U. S. made by the Russell Sage Foundation of New York City, a private research group. Previous Sage Foundation studies on medical and nursing education resulted in improved national standards, and another study on small loan agencies resulted in corrective legislation. Lawyers Dominant The report said it was a "sta tiscal fact" that lawyers as elec tive officeholders, administrators and as influential citizens in pri vate practice play the dominant role in federal, state and local government in America. They added that law schools "would be derelict" if they failed to train future lawyers adequately to serve the needs of government. After examining the courses of study at 23 of the nation's fore most law schools from coast to coast, the Sage Foundation re ported that the University of Ne braska course of study "is more largely re-oriented toward the implications of public law, and toward making prospective law yers realize that public policy is inextricably woven into private law" to a point "well ahead of that of any other law school ." UN Course Popular The Nebraska law curriculum was written by Dean Frederick K. Beutel who came to the univer sity in 1945. The course of study was first used in January, 1946 when the college opened after a three year war-time closure. The university reports it has had many requests from law schools all over the nation for copies of the Nebraska law course. The report said the new course of study at Nebraska at first glance appears to have eliminated much training in private law, to include more teaching of public law, legislation and corporate business structures. By wise plan ning, and reorganizing course materials, the report said, stu dents receive, however, as much, and in some instances more, pri vate law than before the war. Clinics Praised The Sage Foundation also praised the inclusion pf two clinics in the Nebraska course which give students actual prac tice in legal work. One is the Practice Laboratory for training in private practice under condi tions nearly resembling those of a law office and a court. The sec ond is a Legislative Laboratory where students are taught and given experience in drafting sta tutes, and examine the "purpose and means of achieving and ad ministering" better legislation. The report says the legislative lab is "exceptionally promising" because most laws are drafted by legal trained persons and that "much of the uncertainty of sta tutory law, much of the difficulty of administering it, and much of the time spent by courts constru ing it apaprently arises from drafting which could have been appreciably better." Since law yers generally write laws, the re port says, preparation for this function "devolves squarely on the law school." Dear Students, You perhaps have noticed on vour way to and from classes a certain sisn. "ASK THE MAIM WHO OWNS NONE" which though obvious because of its play on words nevertheless has no meaning when it stands alone. And so far, in spite of two small articles in the Daily Ne biaskan, as far as most of the students on the campus are con cerned it still has no meaning. It i in the attempt to give the slogan meaning and to further the cause behind tne siogan uiai I am writing this article. "ASK THE MAN WHO OWNS NONE." Ask the men and women ivhn ctrliPfrlpr! through this last European winter without enough heat in their homes ana wunoui ch clothine on their backs. We here on the campus have just experienced a rougn seige oi com wMthPr and I have heard more than one student complain. I didn't notice, however, that any buildings were without heat, and as far as I could make out all of the students seemed to be very well clothed. Now we are not ackirnr anvone to Eive Clothing they need. We want the clothing that you have no more need ior, pint hinff that is out of style, or clothing that no longer fits. Wi know that the public is aluave hpinff asked bv one group or another to contribute to some thing from the Red Cross to a fnnH fnr trip widow of the un known soldier. We are asking you to take time and round up a lew of those old clothes and bring them over to the collection booth wo have spt un in the Union. You do this for us and we have some thing wp want to do for you! Through the co-operation of Mr. Lake, director or tne union, we arp crninff to give to everyone and anyone who brings in an article of clothing a ticket mat win arlmit nnp rniinlp to a dance SDOn- sored by the Union in conjunction with this worthy cause. We have everything set up and arranged for this drive with the exception of one little item. That little item is your-cooperation and a few of vnnr nlH rlnthps With vour co operation this drive can't help but succeed. Talking Shop .
