Selling NU . . .
A question of vital concern to the University has been
brought to our attention several times during the past
few weeks. It pertains to student enrollment which stems
from selling Nebraska University to High school students
throughout the state.
, Student enrollment is on the way down. The influx
of veterans which came four years ago is draining slowly
away, and by the end of this semester, veteran students
definitely will compose a small number" of the' total enroll
ment. It is not our intention to make the University a
large, over-crowded institution. It is our hope, however,
to see Nebraska populated by the best students from all
over the Btate
Naturally, the best way to realize this goal is to go
to the high school students themselves and sell the Una
yersity to them. There are many who have already made
up their minds to attend Nebraska, and for this we are
thankful. But it is the student who is not exactly certain
whether he wants to come to Lincoln or go to Boulder
with whom we are concerned.
It cannot be denied that we have lost several out
standing athletes to other schools during the past few
years. But the athletic department is taking definite steps
to alleviate this situation. It is carrying on an extensive
program to urge outstanding prep athletes to come to Lin
coin. '
But that's about as far as our persuasion has gone. It
would be difficult to say how many outstanding students
who are not athletes have gone to otner colleges ana urn
vcrsitics. We recently talked to one University Ag student who
spent last summer working in the western part 01 tne state.
He said that few Deonle in that area are exactly sure
where their state University is located. They think only.
in terms of Colorado, period. He also said that during his
high school days many colleges throughout the state sent
student speakers, glee clubs, bands and orchestras to his
home town as agencies of ?ood will But there were never:
any representatives from NU on similar missions.
It is the feeling of several University administrators
that this school should not go out and compete with other!
institutions for high school students. We agree to a certain
extent An attempt on the part of NU to fight dog-eat-dog:
with other colleges would probably do more narm tnan
good. It certainly would be unwise to go on Nebraska
University selling trips ana turn tnem into cnucai ais
cussions of other schools. But this would not be the
object of such trips. Their purpose would be to tell high
school students of every day campus life at the University
- - . mvw 1 r a J J" 1 1
and of how attending xnu can oe iirst, eaucauunai anu
second, enjoyable.
There are numerous service organizations on the
campus which would be more than willing to assist in the
University' public relations. University Builders, Innocents
and Mortar Boards, to mention a few, are set up to promote
the University. And the brnd, orchestra and University
Singers also could be used effectively as University sellers.
Other schools are getting places by sending these kinds
of groups to high schools. It would seem advantageous
to the University if our organizations could make tours
the state, tours which would last several days and give
those groups an opportunity ot sell NU.
High school students ask many questions about uni
versity life which only university students themselves can
answer. Obviously it would do the University no harm
to send these students out to answer questions and to do
a little promotion work in the process. By doing this, Ne
braska may be able to convince some of the prep students
who go elsewhere that they should come to the Unier.-sity.
To the Editor "The Rag,"
I would like to take this opportunity to. express my opinion.
shared by many of my fellows, as to the content of your editorials
in general, and your'magnificant treatment of Jhe "beer-can situa
tion" on the University campus; city1 Of Lincoln, county of Lan
caster, state of Nebraska. ' J t
This searching essay, cryptically -entitled;-' 'University Dump,"
was the final of a long ling of space-filled materials whiqh you
"humorously?" print as editorials. It might Interest you to know
that the average student here, is reasonably intelligent and might
have some other interests in national and state affairs, upon which
the flickering beacon of the campus press could shine, rather than
on a careful analysis of the Pabst and Schlitz empties, their loca
tion and who emptied same. Frankly, if , there are Deer cans in
someone's yard, they are fully aware of the fact, and the bad name
that comes from having these nasty, dlseaiie-breeding piles of rust'
ing tin stock in full, view of the passing public falls directly on the
offending party, not on the University of Nebraska.
May I suggest that, in the future, you confine your journalistic
efforts to topics of interest for a mature mind, or, if you are in
terested in a "Campus Clean-Up Week," SAY SO.

that Corn Shucks will not mind

Soviets Rule China
CHINA Red Russia con

From Hong Kong comes word
of the China today. With famine
sweeping the interior of China
from Canton to the Kwangtung
pennlnsula, the Chinese peasant
is rioting apainst the regime of
communist China. The indepen
dent newspaper, Sing Tao Jih
Pad, reports that wounded reds
including men with ears or
fingers cut off and women with
breasts slashed weue brought to
Canton from Kukong. They were
identified mostly as rural offi
cials and grain collectors. This
may be the break that American
officials in the Orient are wait
ing for since the collapse of the
nationalist government , to For
mosa. During the 'after war years in
China, the Americans through
the Far East branch of the ECA
fed millions of Chinese surplus
grain and flour from the United,
States. In an , apparent attempt
by the Reds to lower the gigantic
copulation rate of China, the
Red may have overplayed their
hand too soon after victory.

strength may be increased due
to a defense department an
nouncement ordering new studies
of its $13,911,127,000 budget to
determine whether more money
should be requested for air force
and naval planes. Secretary
Johnson has requested the joint
chiefs of staff, to re-examine the
question.
This is in line with testimony
by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
who said that he felt that de
fenses of the U. S. were being
weakened by too drastic cuts in
funds. Particularly affected were
Alaska s defenses and more
modern planes for the air force

Spring Vacation
4Nix' at Virginia
Randolph-Macon college, at
Ashland, Virginia, has no spring
holiday at Easter like many other
colleges. According to Dean T.
McN. Simpson, Jr., the reason
is due to the variation of the
time Easter comes each year.
Dean Simpson pointed out that
sometimes Easter will come as
late as the latter part of April,
and thereby crowd an already
jam-packed spring schedule to
which the college is accustomed.
He went on to remark that once
before the administration had
endeavored to plan the college
year so that the two dates would
coincide.
However, after several years,
the faculty decided against the
measure for the reason already
mentioned, and he added that
this was achieved without the
student's protest.
A look in the records of last
year revealed that 181 students
were absent from class the Sat
urday before Easter and ap
proximately half that number
msseo tneir Monday classes.
