NU Football Squad
Claims 22 Veterans
Of the 70 players on the spring football squad roster,
22 have seen military experience.
These 22 men are the only gridders on Coach Bill Glass
ford's squad who would be ineligible for the draft. But the
actual effect of the draft cannot be determined until Glass
ford names the group he will take to Curtis August 30.
Season Football
Tickets All Sold
All season tickets presently
available for next fall's football
games have been reserved.
However. A. J. Lewandowski,
Cornhusker athletic business
manager, said that more can be
made available.
Student tickets will be sold
next fall.
Lewandowski explained that
remittance cards were mailed
July 15 to holders of tentative
reservations.
If these cards aren't returned
to the Coliseum office by Aug.
30, the reserved seats or boxes
will be used to fill applications
on file.
Orders .are being taken for the
4,958 single game reserved seats.
Names of persons interested in
single game seats are registered
with the athletic department.
The order is filled at least 10
days before the game, Lewan
dowski stated.

The following article was writ

tive secretary, National Education
association and published in "The
Public and Education."
"Cpntinued material prosperity
is based on a dynamic expanding
economy. Such an economy will
develop and utilize our national
resources to their full potential
and draw upon human ingenuity
for creating substitutes to excel
these natural resources or to take
their place when they are ex
hausted. There "is an ever-growing de
mand for technical and scientific
ability as the production of
synthetic goods increases. The de
mand for creative skills will con
tinue to climb during the second
half of this century.
"Discovery and invention con
tinuously add to capital and con
sumer goods, contributing to the
greater health, safety, convenience
and welfare of a steadily grow
ing population. The United States
has always astonished the rest of
the world with its industrial and
agricultural production. This
country has assumed a new lead
ership in the eyes of the world
in undertaking the tremendous
task of restoring war-ravaged na
tions and contributing to the ma
terial development of backward
areas of the world. This new role
will result in an even wider ex
change of goods. Both the rate of
economic production and its scope
must be stepped up in the decade
that lies ahead. The schools and
colleges must necessarily pro
vide much of the vision and train
ing required to carry out this
task.

MANUAL ARTS As one of the features of the Teachers College
training program high school students gain valuable instruction In
manual arts. Here the inner workings of a lathe are explained to
lour students.
"I haven't yet issued invitations
to our boys altho I expect to do so
later in the month," the football
coach stated. "We are expecting
to lose a few candidates through
their failure to return to school
and there is a possibility that we
may run into scholastic difficul
ties with some others."
According to Glassford. a check
must be made of the military
status of spring squad members
before any definite fall roster can
be obtained. At present Coach
Glassford is contacting all mem
bers of his squM in regard to
their draft status and possible re
serve standing.
Strength at the tackles, center
and quarterback would be about
all that remained if an all-out
draft call were made.
At quarterback, the NU squad
would still have Fran Nagle and
Dutch Meyer.
Tackles with previous military
experience behind them are Char
ley Toogood, Bob Mullen, Dick
Goeglein, Don Boll, Bill Maxe and
Harley Rector.
The three veterans at center are
Ken Schroeder, Ray Rifenbark,
and Hyie Thybault.
Others who have been in the
services are George Paynich, end;
Art Bauer, Gerald Dunn, Rex
Hoy, and Walt Spellman, guards
and Don Bloom. Jack Carroll,

ties whkh rest upon our institu
tions of learning in -the next half
century of progress, we cannot
afford to retrench or merely to
hold our own in providing for
them. We must adopt and follow
a vigorous policy of financial
support for schools, in which com
munities, states and the federal
government participate.
"Our ability to support schools
is related to our national income.
In 1900, 1.2 percent Of our na
tional income was expended for
education. In 1930, the propor
tion of our nation income ex
pended for public education had
risen to 3.09 percent, but in 1950
it has declined to 1.84 percent.
"Every prediction made of the
trend of the national income for
the remainder of the century in
dicates a steady increase. It is
likely that the present national
income will be doubled by the
year 2000. It is clear that we are
able to support our public schools
adequately if we wish to do so,
without strain upon the financial
condition of the country."

Receives New
Navy Rank
University Athletic Director
George (Potsy) Clark has re
ceived his certificate of promo
tion to the rank of commander
in the Naval Reserve.
The presentation was made by
Commdr. L; S. Melson, command
ing officer of Lincoln's Naval Air
Station.
Clark during World War II was
an officer in the Navy's physical
fitness program.
Clark is acting as representa
tive of the Naval Air Station to
spread information on the naval
aviation cadet program and the
naval air reserve program.
"Men participating in the naval
air reserve program are draft
exempt," he commented. "I hope
I can be of assistance to young
men in helping them to obtain
military training here rather than
being sent to other parts of the
country."
Later this year he will report
to the Glen view (111.) Naval Air
Station, -for two weeks of active
duty with the staff of the chief of
naval air reserve training.

A completely new high school
building to enable student teach
ers to instruct over three hun
dred Lancaster county students.
The building would include the
most modern facilities both for
teaching and learning.
A new wing to the Teachers'
college building proper which
would include both bigger class
rooms and more research space.
Those are two of the "dreams"
of the Teachers college . at the
present time, according to F. E.
Henzlik, dean.
The new high school, which
would take all practice high
school teaching out of the present
building, is the next building
scheduled as a part of the Uni
versity's ten year building pro
gram. The building would be con
structed on 15th and U Streets,
east of Bancroft school.
Adequate Space.
It would include adequate class
space for all high school activi
ties. Henzlik hopes that along
with essential class room space,
gymnasium and auditorium fa
cilities will be available in the
new building.
This school, Henzlik said
"should be a model for all high
schools in the state to see. It
should serve as a training labora
tory for over 400 school teachers.
It must have the facilities to en
able young teachers to develop
skills, attitudes and imagination
for future work."
The wing which is proposed
for the Teachers college is not
scheduled to be built for some
time later. It would include ad
ditional facilities for classroom
and graduate research. It would,
in addition, include the junior
division offices.
12 Departments

teaching certificates can be taken
in any of 12 departments:
Commercial Arts, Educational
American Soldiers in Korea
Not Eligible for G.I. Bill
Although eligible for several
benefits administered by the Vet
erans Administration, American
servicemen called into action in
Korea are not entitled to G.I. Bill
benefits as a result of their Ko
rean service, the VA has reported.
Ashley Westmoreland, Lincoln
Regional Of fice Manager, said that
under existing legislation the only
servicemen active in Korea who
would be eligible for G.I. educa
tion and training, loans, and re
adjustment allowances are those
who had already acquired eligi
bility because of military service
in World War II. The G.I. Bill, he
added, was designed primarily for
the readjustment of World War
II veterans.
The VA, however, said that
servicemen in the Korean action
may be entitled to disability com
pensation pay at full wartime
rates even though they are not
World War II veterans, and de
spite the fact the nation is not at
war. Dependents of those who
might lose their lives in action
may also be entitled to death com
pensation benefits at wartime
rates. (Peacetime rates of com
pensation, the VA explained, are
80-percent of wartime rates.)
The agency said, too, that serv
icemen who carry National Serv
ice Life Insurance and who be
come totally disabled during the
current fighting in Korea are eli
gible to have their G.I. Insurance
premiums waived, if their total
disability lasts six consecutive
months or longer. The waiver
would go in effect, upon applica
tion, after the six month period
was over, and would remain in
effect as long afterwards as total
disability continued.
Westmoreland explained that

One of. the services offered by
Teachers college is a freshmen
counseling service. Trained sen
iors and graduate students help
incoming freshmen with an aim
toward:
1. Helping the student adjust
himself to University life and
helping him to realize his own po
tentialities. 2. Helping the student adjust
himself socially to campus life.
3. Helping the student realize
the possibilities in himself toward
leadership both in campus and
adult life. .
4. Helping the student to be
able to create things, whether the
things be such as art or music,
or merely a good conversation.
Junior students are trained
during their junior year as to
methods of counseling students.
As they become seniors, they be
gin counseling the freshmen stu
dents, and in turn help train the
incoming junior students.
Visual Aid
Henzlik believes that one of the
greatest aids to students is Ne
braska's visual aid library. The
library includes films, film strips,
slides, recordings and plays. All
types of films and recordings are
available to either students or
teachers in schools thruout the
state. The plays are sent to high
schools in the state for reading.
The schools may read the plays
and decide which they would like
to order; -
Films and recordings are also
used as a part of the University's
training program. A special clats
and death compensation, arising
under conditions similar to the
Korean situation, are authorized
by Public Law 359, 77th Con
gress, passed 12-days after the
attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Under that law, wartime rates
are payable for disability or death
resulting from injury or disease
received in line of duty: "(1) as
a direct result of armed conflict,
or (2) -while engaged in extra
hazardous service, including such
service under conditions simulat
ing war, or (3) while the United
states is engaged in war." The Ko
rean action brings the first and
second categories of the law into
play, the VA official said.

Student Teachers
A student teaching program as
a part of University training is
included in the college curricu
lum. For grade school teaching,
cadets must be at least sopho
mores in school. They do prac
tice teaching in Bancroft school,
as well as other Lincoln schools.
Student teachers in Teachers
College High School must be
seniors in the college. Each stu
dent teaches a class in his major
or minor field. The student
teacher has full responsibility for
the conduction of class. Students
receive criticisms from the faculty
instructor, as to how they could
improve certain phases of their
teaching.
Ed Psychology
The department of Educational
Psychology offers student train
ing in learning general character
istics of pupil behavior in meet
ing and talking with the chil
dren's parents and in working
with other teachers in improving
the adjustment of their pupils.
Demand for teachers still far
exceeds the supply. During the
past year, 3,598 requests for
teachers were received by the
Department of Education Serv
ices, which aids students in find
ing positions in their interest
field. The department was able
to fill only approximately one
fourth of these requests.
Many of these requests were
for teachers who could offer in
struction in at least two subjects,
besides their major subject. Start
ing salaries offered the teachers
ranged from a medium of $2,300
for kindergarden teachers to
$3,350 for college instructors.
