PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Mondoyf December 3, 1951 'Mischievous' "Professor, are men who cant compete In the business world and protect their weakness in academic freedom. Academic freedom to them means freedom to sponre off the public and freedom to think -crooked." That is what Upton Close, columnist and author, recently told a group of Ohio Klwanians. He went on to say that professors have "mischievous" in stincts and like to do sensational things. "If you want to destroy our society completely, Just invite anyone you want to talk to our chil dren in schools -and colleges. Maybe ve should bring in murderers and rapists and someone to preach free love and a free world," he said. Maybe Close has gone a little far in comparing college prof essors tff murderers and rapists. Most professors are pretty human. They represent all shades of opinion,. Many professors are hopelessly wrapped tip in heir subject, to the exclusion of everything else.'S'ome are unreasonable; you meet, such people in all walks of life. My English pro fessor once remarked Jokingly that all English roressors Tom Ri$che not nearly as numerous as some people would have us believe. To my knowledge, there are no reds on the University of Nebraska faculty. There may be extreme "liberals," but not com munists. tany American bigots would like to have the public believe that colleges are dens of intrigue and conspiracy against the government. They feel that anyone who dares to disagree or try to look at different sides of a situation are dangerous people. They may charge that professors are weak-minded, incompetents. If this is true, then it seems odd that so much weight is giver, to a college education by leading businessmen. If professors are men who can't compete in the business world, then how did it happe,. that much of the planning for Roosevelt's "New Deal" was done by leading college professors? How does it happen that the atomic energy commission has en trusted some of the work on atomic projects to leading Universities, among them Nebraska? How does it happen that much of the research on dis- teachers are frustrated writers. This may or may eases, particularly cancer is being done at lead not be true. But the fact remains that there are ing universities, Nebraska included? How does it good instructors and bad instructors, tou cannot happen that a number of these "mischievous" point a finger at all of them and say "This is what professors have been appointed to top Jobs else all instructors are like." where? How docs it happen that President Tru- Louis Undent recently wrote an article for the man appointed John u. uarK, former neaa 01 me Chin A. tf lklj Little Man On Campus ByBibler By ANN GILOGAN To the readers: Th society "If there are any new 'steadies,' American Lesion magazine In which he charged that communists controlled American colleges. Such a charge, on its face, Is ridiculous. Un doubtedly there are communist professors teach ing In American colleges today. But they are Which End Is Up?

Upton Close Is all wet. 9 Filings for junior and senior class council posi- enthusiasm which they had in high school, junior tions closed Friday with 25 junior and eight senior and senior class councils were something which applicants.

Having junior" and senior class councils is rather like shutting the door after the horse is gone. The plan Jas designed to give freshmen and sophomores a-voice ifi governing themselves and to encourage them to retain some of the school sponsibilities of class office, which may or may not be good. At any rate, the council will soon select the class councils for junior and senior classes. The addition of more people to class positions may im prove the situation. But it looks as if the whole thing is wrong end to the cart before the horse. Nationalism Rises In Middle East; British, French Control Threatened -Charles Gomon- eolumn has its bad days when it comes to getting "new" news, so instead of relating the "new" business, we thought we'd let the campus get wind of some of the old." For Instance, we know that Dick Claussen sees a lot of Barb Turner, that Con Woolwine dates almost no one But &naron Fritzler, that Norma Lothrop has been seeing lots of Steve Carveth, that Rocky Yapo and Kay Som- mers have been going together "steadily," that Ted James sees almost no one but Sue Brownlee, that Mary-Anne Harris and Fred Moshier have been going together for a year and a half now, that Dodie Elliott dates only Jim Massey, that Sydna Fuchs and Foster Woodruff seem to be see ing lots of each other, that Bob Pecka and Marsha Ireland get along quite well, that Bobbie Russell and Dick Spangler date frequently, and that Joanie L'Heurex and Ray Mladovich see lots of each other. The society editor and assist ants suggest that these couples and others In the same predica ment, could change the "old" news to "new" news by "dating the field," which we think would be too drastic, or announcing their "steady deal," which we heartily would approve of. And now to more "old" news last weekend. Just a few of the dates to the annual Sigma Chi pledge sweet heart dance Friday night were Rex Hogan and Sally Bartling, Bob DeBord and Shirley Williams, Bill Hollor&n and Nancy Odum, Jim Miller and Barbara Witte, Paul Ely and Muriel Pickett, Pete Kelloway and Kay Barton, Bruce Ackerman and Carol Else, and Ben Leonard and Janice Fullerton. The Kappa Sigs had a novel idea for helping us get a list of dates. On the bulletin board they pinned a sign reading, "Please sign your name below if you were at Peony Park with a date Satur day night. If your date was from another school please name the school." Some of the couples on the list were Dick Mead and Bev Brown, Darrel Moreland and Marilyn Post, Bob White and Pat Savage. Don Oden and Valera Jepson, John Bailey and Scampy Quigley, Jack Davis and Jan Wagner, and John Montgomery and Mareia Waeher, from Omaha. Another request on the list was, please sign." The only names listed were those of Stan Grohl mghorst and Jane Farnum. Theta Xi actives found them selves with dates Friday night,1 but no place to go. The pledges had announced that they were! putting on a masquerade party, but went on a sneak schortly be fore the affair was scheduled to begin. Several people in assorted costumes stood around wondering where to go. At the Sigma Nu Saturday night "Circus Party" were Springer Jones and Barb Cell, Don Rauh and Robin Rauch, Herm Dinklage and Penny Sloan, Marlene Rees and Bud Johns, Shirley Nash and Larry Hickey, Marianne Kuns and Gary Martin, and Sherry Clover ana Howard Hanson. The Kappa Delta pledge party Saturday night was a gala affair according to Donna Krotter and Doug Rossman. Katherine Mclvin and Jim Haggart, Earlene Luff and Bob Acheson, ara Stephen son and Chuck Marshall, Marilyn Matthews and Leon Kriener. and Kay Burcum and George Madsen. more dates over the weekend to Kings, Cotner Terrace, Omaha and other places were John Dick and Jo Ann Swanson, Katy Coad and Paul Olson, Jo Mellen and Don Bock, GInny Franks and Pete rfergsten, Ann McKamie and Bob Johnson, Ray Friteler and Don Lehmkuhl, Helen Schaberg and Paul Cook, and Marilyn Stanley and John Carr. oi vet V JV m "Well Dean, for th' last few days we've been discussing theories of revolution an' then about ten minutes after class took up today Better Living Series, Dancing Lessons On Aggies Schedule This Week Dale Reynolds9 Like symptoms of a case of international meas- Although the population of the -Middle East is les, pinpoints otintense nationalism are appearing wretchedly poor in most cases, and therefore throughout "the "ooverty-ridden, sun-baked coun- mainly potential in its capabilities, those natives tries of the Middle East.

The pattern in eacn case is the same; onljrthe local details differ. The British have been driven ot of Iran by nothing more than nationalism manifested in fanatical prime minister and an insignificant army. It has been said that the Iranian army could be beaten by the New York City police force. In Egypt a British division and much British browbeating are currently required to hold the Sues canal from nationalist fanatics. The Moroccans hurl bricks at their French overlords while. Pakistan is threatened by neigh bors on both sides. The Afghans want to annex a northern Pakistan province and the Indians are zealously disputing Moslem claims to Kash mir. It is no coincidence that most of the disorder Is centered in the Arab-Moslem Middle East. The self-styled Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (Moslem equivalent of bishop) is believed by many to be master-minding much of the agitation. The mufti holds tremendous personal influence throughout It would be a mis-statement to say that the powers which have controlled the Middle East have done nothing for the host countries. The much lanpooned Anglo-Iranian Oil company was em ploying 93 per cent Iranians including one-third of the top salaried staff when it was nationalized. The Arabian-American Oil company of Saudi Arabia splits profits 50-50 with King Ibn Saud. However, it is almost universally true that the older colonial powers have done less than they were capable of doing. A common fallacy of many western observers Is the branding of the nationalistic movement as communist. In every case the communists have worked with unexcelled zeal to associate them- selves with native nationalism, sometimes to the Intense disgust of local leaders. In many cases Western suffiness, disinterest, and selfishness have driven the nationalists into the waiting arms of the reds. An example of this is the statement made by Muad Saleem, one of the more than 50,000 Arabs the Middle East, and is known to have visited each driven out of Palestine by the Israeli army three of the trouble spots. In recent months. years ago. Muad said, "It is the Americans who Strategically the Jvliddle East is as vital to the have brought us to this.

Art Galleries Plan Second Film Showing The second showing of the film, "Lascaux, Cradle of Man's Art," will be presented by the state museum and the University -art galleries at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday in Gallery B, Morrill hall. The first showing of the film depicting " prehistoric paintings found in French caves was pre sented Sunday afternoon. The paintings were discovered in 1940 by two French boys try ing to rescue their dog from a deep hole into which it had fallen during a hunting expedition. The caves with their magnificent decorations are among the most important monuments of prehis toric art. Protected from drafts, moisture and vandalism, the pictures are as brilliant as though painted yesterday, according to art -authorities. The subjects depicted by the prehistoric artist include bison, ibex, deer, wild . horses and cat tle. In addition io a thorough ex amination of the cave and its paintings, the film also shows other important sites in the neigh borhood and tells briefly the story of prehistoric man.
