PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKA Thursday, March 1, 1951 'A Xi EDITORIAL COMMENT 'Academic Bad Boys' . . . A debate on loyalty oaths for public teachers .progresses in state legislatures throughout the country an Interesting bit of evidence comes from Cambridge, Mass. Harvard university has appointed to its faculty Harold Winkler, former assistant professor of political science at the Uni versity of California. Winkler is one of the instructors fired last July when he refused to sign an oath demanded by the California Board of Regents. He also re fused to take part in a compromise oral interview regarding communistic tendencies. (The California oath differs from the one now under consideration In the Nebraska legislature in that the Nebraska pledge does not include the word communist). Had the expelled teacher consented to the in terview with the California Academic senate com mittee, he would have lost his Job in August any way. Then a majority of the regents voted to fire even those who submitted to an oral re-' view of their loyalty. v The Daily Californian report Winkler to be a member of Americans for Democratic Action, "an organization of anti-communist liberals." He is also former research director of the Council for Democracy, an organization whose money came from the Luce and Rockefeller interests and whose executive secretary was president of Life magazine. In addition to this he received the Bronze Star for his Navy service during World war n. "This, however," the Californian remarks edi torially, "would not satisfy the regents; they had to have his signature under a mass of nonsensical mumbo-jumbo or he was 'unfit to guide the minds of our gullible youth. . . ' " As a result of the suspension of Winkler and his non-signing colleagues, the Californian reports, "at least 23 courses and sections, orginially sched uled for this semester, have been cancelled ..." These same "academic bad boys" had been thoroughly investigated and cleared of commu nistic leanings by a faculty committee and then fired by the regents. The Californian ends its editorial with this re flection: "So Winkler left the University of Cal ifornia, where he had been one of the most pop ular and stimulating members of his department; now Harvard has him. Harvard, in contrast to California, is still willing to judge a man upon his own merits rather than upon his willingness to crawl upon his knees." j.w. Men on Trial ... A mob of boys crashed the coed convent Tues day night. They had no trouble scaling the walls and pouring through the iron gates. They were met with little opposition except that of a few buxom girls and shocked ladies who murderously glanced at the intruders. Most of the coeds enjoyed the excitement caused by the invasion, as normal convent girls should. Shouting "Male Suffrage," the boys squeezed into empty chairs and packed the aisles. Girls twittered. ' AWS board members scurried around the cor ridors and ran up and down stairs in double file. One was heard to comment. "You boys have no sense of decency." She added that it was a demonstration of mob sters, of boys taking the law into their own hands. "University males are on trial, on probation," she said. N Yes, the boys, are on trial. The judges of the case, the AWS board will undoubtedly be forced to pass down a decision before the next Coed Fol lies rolls around. They will have to decide wheth er the boys are guilty or not of invading the convent-like seclusion of the Follies show and what shall be their punishment. AWS board members must reach a decision. Should the Follies show be opened peaceably to boys, or should the boys be allowed to crash the convent walls again. Campus males are on trial, g.r. DP's vs. Americans To the Editor, To my understanding, AUF has solicited and been promised bus boy positions for seven DP's who are to study at the University next year. I think this is a fine cause and 1 respect all organiza tions and individuals who have contributed help toward educat ing DP's in our school. But I wonder if AUF realizes that it will put seven American students out of work and probably out of school by 'getting these jobs promised for foreign students. Everyone should agree that jobs like these should be left for American students. Again, my respect for and en couragement of AUF, but couldn't they consider this point? A. Hasher SojciaL 3j$. . , 1 1 Personal Opinion Out... The Legislature Monday revised a resolution on televising University home football games. The senators then adopted the resolution after a 40 minute discussion on, according to the Lincoln Journal, "the merits of television and allied sub jects from Bobby Reynolds to bicycles." The resolution which orginally asked the Uni versity to "do everything possible to have its games televised" now requests a "review of find ings of the Big Seven conference" on the question It is doubtful that any definite stand will be taken in favor of television at the Big Seven meeting in Kansas City this week end. Any policy formulated at the conference meeting would have to be in accordance with the ruling of the National Collegiate Athletic association which voted to forbid live telecasts for a year. A. J. Lewandowski, University business man ager of athletics, when queried by the Journal inquiring photographer said, "It is not a question of personal opinion now . . . we must follow the intercollegiate ruling to ban television for one year. I think television would definitely cut down on game attendance." That is the opinion of a man who ft an expert on attendance and con ditions affecting attendance. Some solons suggest sending a copy of the resolution to legislatures of other states in an attempt to make the issue one spreading over the entire conference. They would ask the legislators to require their respective schools to televise home games. If the senators of this state really believe it is more important for a few constituents in the area surrounding Lincoln and Omaha to view Husker football games on video than it is for the University and its parent Big Seven conference to stay in the good graces of the NCAA, they are taking the right path. fas ss 'to ; Xy Stolen Goods ' Gripers Better Than Whistlers. Workers Says MV By Connie Gordon Do you whistle while you work? If you do, ahame on you says the University of Michigan who has reported after a four year survey that "Gripers" are usually better workers than are "Whistlers." The researchers stated, "While this type (the rriper) will often spend a lunch hour denounc ing his Job, the driving suge to succeed will tend this tame subject back to work fired with more productive enerry." Does this mean that people who can't whistle are better workers than those who can? Maybe they'll make som research on that query. What's-in-a-Name Dept. The Daily Kansan re ports the following (and we quote). "According to a University instructor who has lived in New York City, there was much confusion among New York Giant baseball followers recently when they heard over the radio that Mel Ott, the Giant manager, had accepted the position as chan cellor of a large eastern University. However, after the Giant offices had been de luged with telephone calls from angry fans, it was finally revealed that it was a Chancellor Malott from Kansas who had been appointed chancellor of Cornell university. John Hopkins University has announced that it is doing away with the regular four-year un dergraduate program. They are substituting in its place a liberal, go-as-you-learn plan with no restrictions on time, scope, or specific study. Their plan is very good if you like to spend 22 hours a day studying in order to save one year in university. More power to 'em. Speaking of studying, it's back to the books I go for some Info for my six weeks exams. So, un till next time, Au revoir! NV Nicknames Have Unusual Origins; Date Back to Youth What's in a name? What's behind a nickname? Shakespeare would raise a questioning eyebrow at some of the stories behind the nicknames of Nebraska students. Jucnita Redlger, commonly called "Pooehie," received her nickname when a little girl "Poochle'i" parents had a puppy turned "Pooehie." When her mother and father would call the dog, the little girl would al ways answer the call, too. Fi nally Juanita was referred to as "Pooehie" and the name is now her pseudonym, "Speed" Foley Jim Foley's nickname is left over from hit pledge days at the University. He was tagged "Speed" because of the rapidity vith which he eveded his pledge duties. Proboscises, (noses, that Is), are one cause for nicknames. "Needles" Neely and "Noonan" McVlckcr both had nose trouble. "Needles," alias Mary Jean, was dubbed this because her nose Is supposedly long and pointed. This title has stuck with her since high school, "Noonan," alias Sid, started out as "no nose." This moniker evolved into "Noonan." All this because of his stubby nose. Caroline Rothenbergor's sister had trouble in her infant -".ays saying much of anything except "ticky." Since the sister was so fond of her, Caroline became known as "Tlkki" and still has the title.
