The Big Secret
.Tom Rische
University Athletic Director "Potsy" Clark
Tuesday refused to allow the list of Nebraska
athletic scholarships to be published. His refusal
came after the University of Missouri had pub
lished the names of persons receiving athletic
scholarships and the amounts given to athletes at
that institution. This was a straightforward step.
Clark was not alone In his refusal. A. C. Lon
borg, athletic director at the University of Kansas
likewise refused to allow the list of athletic schol
arships at KU to be published.
Clark said that the list was available to any
Individual who desired to se It, but not fof gen
eral distribution. Clark said he felt that it would
do the school no good to publish the list. He did
not think anyone was particularly Interested in
the scholarship holders. ,
To the contrary, I think many people are In
terested. At Intervals during the past semester, The
Daily Nebraskan has asked Clark and other ath
letic officials for information about Nebraska'
athletic scholarships. Our queries were never dig
nified by a straightforward "no." We always re
ceived the story that "the athletic board is going
to meet shortly and we can give you something
then." This happened not once but several times.
In other words, we got a run-around every time.
scholarships. Everyone Is aware of this fact. Why
should there be such Bn aura of secrecy surround
ing them? '
Every year at the Honors convocation, the
names of the University scholarship winners are
printed on the program and published In the
papers for all to see. Students are proud, and
rightly so, to see thejr names recognized , for
good work In school. . , . ('
But with the athletic scholarships, the situa
tions seems to be different. Apparently these schol
arships are something which must be hidden be
cause they are not something to be proud of. They
are available for anyone who is interested to come
to the office to see. How many people are going
to trudge over to the Coliseum to see what Ne
braska is giving in the way of athletic scolar
ships? They should not have to go to the Coliseum.
They should be able to read it in the paper.
There is nothing wrong with athletic scholar
ships, provided that they are awarded to deserv
ing Individuals for outstandnig work. The mere
fact' that the scholarship lists are not a matter of
public record might raise a question "What have
we to hide?" If Nebraska has nothing to hide, then
why not publish a list of the athletic scholarships?
The general public does not know how they oper
ate. They have a right to know.
Missouri has laid its cards on the table, face
up. Why can't Nebraska do the same thing?
The University of Nebraska gives athletic
7 Everv Girl A Queen
your m
church J
One faculty member reported recently that
she had received complaints from Lincolnitcs
about the balloting at the Kosmet Klub show.
It seems that the LIncolnltes were stopped by
several girls as they entered the Coliseum and
asked if they were going to vote for any of
the candidates for Nebraska Sweetheart. When
the LIncolnltes replied that they did not know
any of the candidates, the girls volunteered to
vote the tickets for them. The LIncolnltes were
not too pleased at the occurance.
Raymond McConnell, editor of the Journal, re
cently commented that he had heard a remark
about some girls on the University campus having
a winning candidate for some queenship. One of
them is supposed to have remarked "Sure she
won. We paid enough for her, didn't we?"
The list of queens at the University is long
and imposing. There are six Beauty Queens, an
Interfraternity Sweetheart, ISA Sweetheart, Hello
Girl, Pep Queen, Activity Queen, "Miss Snow
flake," Typical Nebraska Coed, Ivy Day Queen,
Honorary Commandant, Prom. Queen, Nebraska
Sweetheart, 12 Calendar Girls, Goddess of Agri
culture, Farmer's Fair Queen, just to mention a
few.
It has gotten to the place where one sorority
house has a "Queen for a Day" contest. Those
girls who have never won any campus-wide title
get to be queen of the house for a day, just to
make up for the lack of other recognition.
With all this in mind, The Daily Nebraskan
began its "Miss Rag Mop" Contest. We decided
that some reward was in store for those who
studied hard and engaged in no activit.es. We
thought that there should be no opportunity for
vote-buying or trading In this "queen" selec
etion. Therefore, the selection will be made by
staff members.
It would be mfore consistent with the principles
of democracy to make sure that every senior girl
has won at least one title of some sort by the
time she graduates. After all, the titles now go
only to a chosen few. Let's spread things arounri
a little bit.
Where Our Money Goes
Nearly every passing day sees more names
added to the list of those who are involved in the
Washington tax scandals. Taxpayers, already
ever-burdened, are becoming more and more irate
over the disclosures.
President Truman cut short his Florida va
cation to return to Washington to see if he can
not do something about the situation. Attorney
General J. Howard McGrath and FBI Chief J.
Edgar Hoover conferred with Truman earlier
this week to see if they could not find some way
to bring the apparently widespread corruption
to a halt.
The name of Supreme Court Justice Tom Clark
entered the picture Tuesday as McGrath disclosed
that Clark had received reports complaining of
irregularities by T. Lamar Caudle before Caudle
became assistant attorney general. Clark was at
torney general at the time. Caudle's statement ad
mitted that he was "indiscrete" and that someone
kept "putting presents in his automobile." Santa
Claus must have been getting around early that
year.
Many people are raising their eyebrows, higher
and higher as they continue to fork out sizeable
portions of their income, only, to read in their
papers that high tax officials are misusing much
of their money. Truman's popularity in the coun
try has probably fallen to an all-time low.
Probably the most popular move that Tru
man could make would be to fire Attorney Gen
eral JVIcGrath and replace him with Sen. Estes
Kefauver of Tenessee. It would indicate good
faith on the president's part.
If the president chooses to stick by his old
cronies as he has in the past, he may well find
that he has destroyed both himself and his party,
at least for 1952. People come to think of govern
ment as a place where a certain amount of graft
goes on. But they do expect honesty as a general
rule. And it does not look as if honesty is the
general rule In the Truman administration, at least
n its tax department.

It should give Nebraskans a good feeling to bi
reminded their University is regarded very highly
in respect to United Nations activities. In a time
when so many news events and so many lives are
affected by what is discussed and what is done by
this international body, there is justification to
take pride in efforts this University takes toward
promoting goals of "international peace and se
curity." In the last several years, a definite effort has
been made by the administration, with direct en
couragement from Chancellor R. G. Gustavson.
to orient students and Nebraskans in their role
in the often called world community and the
UN. As a result of sending a University repre
sentative, Dr. Frank Sorenson, to the UN to es
tablish a working relation with the organization,
the University has earned the reputation of being
an experimental center on UN education.
Studies have noted that one important way to
promote international cooperation is instilling in
masses knowledge of the organization directly con
cerned with carrying out the task the body where
diplomats actually thrash out the problems. Unless
the UN has support and confidence of persons it
represents, it is rather hopeless to expect any suc
cess from its doors.
Most successful efforts of the UN are along
economic lines education, scientific research.

political situations which have been handled
effectively. Economic endeavors are less known
than political, disputes and we often are too
eager to forget or ignore them. Actually they
play just as important a role in promoting- inter
national security as political crises.
Last year I talked to a campus visitor from
Franpe. One purpose of his visit was studying
ways the University encouraged interest in the
UN. He was interested in discovering methods and
ideas for French schools which he eventually
hoped would include United Nations education in
every civic class. He was openly aware that edu
cation comes first before understanding and co
operationespecially on an international scale.
Today we are living when international ten
sions grow stronger with each misunderstanding
misunderstandings which are inevitable with
so many ideologies, so many traditional conflicts,
so many language differences, so many economic
diversities and so many nationalistic feelings.
I am reminded of what Henry Ward Beecher
wrote once: "If we are going to have peace, it
must be proclaimed by the common people. We
shall not have peace till they understand that it is
their interest as well as their duty. When that
time comes, we shall have peace -guaranteed so
that no tyrant can move it."

Students seriously interested in
creative writing should meet
Monday at 4:30 p.m. in Room 124,
Andrews Hall, to organize a new
literary society.
The society will become active
at the beginning of next semes
ter.
Primary purpose of the or
ganization wili be to stimulate
interest In creative writing and
literary criticism.
A long-range project Is the
publication of a campus literary
magazine.
Meetings of the club next se
mester will be devoted to: (1)
reading and criticizing each
other's writings; (2) informal
discussion of modern writing
trends; and (3) planning the
proposed publication.
The magazine will be sDonsored
by the organization and edited by
memDers. contents will include
stories, articles, and poetry writ
ten by any University students.
The students planning the lit
erary society are freshmen and
sophomores. Juniors and seniors,
as well as other underclassmen,
are asked to help organize the
club.
Only students interested in
serious writing or in literary
analysis are needed, though
these students need not be Eng

Students who
but who cannot attend the meet
ing should phone Hamilton How
ard at 2-7445,. or contact Profes
sor W. G. Gaffney in Room 121,

sity Calendar Committee has ve
fused such action because:
1. Twenty-nine signatures do
not represent the feelings of
approximately 6900 students.
2. Most classes have been
planned as to subject matter
to be covered for the remain,
der of the semester and this
action would interfere.
3. Few students would remain
for classes Saturday morning,
December 22, 1951.
4. It was the action of the stu
dents themselves, in the very
near past, to be in favor of
the two-day "reading" period
before final exams which the
proposed plan would abolish.
This committee wishes it to be
known that next year'i schedule
allows a full two-weeks vacation
and it is planned that this will be
the course taken in future years.
