11 'a ,f VOL. 51 No. 66 LINCOLN, NEBRASKA Friday, December 21, 1951 !" Gustavson Explains Basis Of Education Chancellor R. G. Gustavson, speaking to the University chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said Wednes day that the "basic foundation for the operation of the University f Nebraska" is built around four major points: 1. Education must teach young people their place in history 2. Education must teach stu dents the value and meaning of freedom. 3. Education must allow in Courtesy Lincoln Stai. DR. GUSTAVSON structors the freedom to search for truth. 4. Education must be charac terized by liberalism. These four points of educa tional philosophy, Gus'avson Mid, stem from this definition of the purpose of higher et'uca totn: The purpose of the Uni versity is to offer the raximum number of young people who have the capacity the oppor tunity to learn skills and de velop attitudes for effective and intelligent Trine in a fr-e so- ciety, and to fuz'--. young minds to nak? jn-l-rmcnts es sential to t'-.e prersrvation of a free society. The first problem which the University must face in applying this definition, Curtavson said, is the question of who .hall be ad - mitted to the University. .- ,. ..

RID CROSS CHRISTMAS Carolers Sing, Leave Gifts By CONME GORDON Feature Editor "Merry Christmas" In the form of University carolers was brought to Lincoln institutions Wednes day night The University Red Cross Col lege Unit held its annual Christ mas caroling party. Students from all over the University were picked up by special buses and chartered to their destinations. Under the direction of sonr leaders Aaron Schmidt and Bob Swalm, the carolers began singing as soon as they boarded the buses. To make sure that everyone knew the words to the perennial Christmas carols, caroling books were distributed to each caroler. Orthopedic hospital was the first stop made by the carolers. The group spent approximately 20 minutes going from ward to ward. Some of the gifts that were brought to the "Miss Snow-, flake" Union party were left at the hospital for Santa Claus to distribute Saturday night at the children's Christmas party. The Dxt stop e the carolert list was the mental hospital. ; Smiles en the residents faces reflected the happiness the j eareters brought them. TaWifc. iinm anri Kf Thomas' Orphanage were the last stops on! the carolers list The remainder of the lifts were handed out at "Higher education is a trust and a privelege vested in young men and women by the people of Nebraska," Gustvason pointed out. "In admitting young people to the University, we must justify our decision to those' whose money supports it. We must make every effort to be sure those young people, upon graduation, wifl contribute constructively to the way we live," he said. The proper teaching of his tory, the Chancellor stressed, should occupy an important po sition in any general or special ized training program. For ex ample, Gustavson pointed out, students of agriculture must be taught, not only the skills of agriculture, but also .a back ground of history which will illustrate the value of conserv ing soil for future generations. Discussing his second point, Gustavson asserted that "We can not teach young people the mean ing of freedom unless we teach them truth. M Through truth, he . .. said. we must teacn tnem we, value and meaning of freedom so lit will remain with them as a Hasting conviction. The problem of freedom must apply also to University teachers, the Chancellor added. Our edu cators, he said, must be permit ted to search for truth even jthouph "at times we may find :that truth is inconvenient for us ito search for or explain." ! "Finally," Gustavson said, ! "the search for truth must be i characterized by liberalism." I "The liberalism of which I -speak," Gustavson explained, "is not a political creed, but a dis position of character. It is the kind of thinking which encour ages a restless inquiry into the .nature of things about us; which, regards vary little as absolutely j certain; which does not lear wu- nessing all of the evidence; which; scrupulously depends on persua-' sive reasoning rather than sup- p-ession and fear."

Apple ton, of Richmond, Va., assigned to dig up the facts, announced that he interviewed a North Korean agent whose story of what happened to Gen.
