'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

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

Nationalism Rises In Middle East;

-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

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.
