have fome up with some proposals for remedying
the situation. Some suggestions might add a great

level they once enjoyed.
However, some suggestions by the presidents,

goal and consideration of the tremendous public

4. Not only should no freshman be allowed to
play on a varsity team, but also any transfer
from a junior college should put In a year of
residence before being allowed to play.
The latter point is true today, and it wasn't
until recently that freshmen were allowed on var

6. In no case should any scholarship be for
more than educational expenses at an Institution.
Reasoning here could be the same as that ap
plied in the previous proposal. It seems unfair to
athletes, especially ones who do need scholarships,
to discriminate in the amount of aid to be received.
However, since the scholarship privilege seeming
ly has been abused throughout the United States,
evidently there is no other solution.
Thus, college presidents have presented both
some practical suggestions as well as several which
probably would do more harm to college athletics
than good. In attempting to control college ath-

those recommended by the college presidents.
Recommendations are:
1. All post-season games should be abolished.
This may or may not be going too far. Post
season games have mushroomed to the point that
one promoter proposed a bowl for teams that had
not won a game all year. There are too many
bowls. A few would be all right, if they matched

After all, although college athletics must be
cleaned up, administrators as well as students
should realize that the ultimate place houseclean

connected with sports. Regardless of how many
changes are made in rule of athletics, unless the
actual attitude toward athletics changes, ways
will be found to get around even new rules.

To The Editor:
The recently announced stu
dent evaluation of instructors, as
reported in a story and editorial
in Tuesday s Dally Nebraskan,
and as corrected in Wedensday's
edition, is appreciated by myself
and members of the stuaent-iac
ulty committee which studied the
feasibility of such evaluation sys
tern.
I wish to emphasize three points
about the evaluation system.
First, the evaluation system
has been made available to In
terested faculty members pure
ly as a service from my office.
No Senate action was sought
Second, the student evaluation
system is offered the faculty
purely as an aid to self-Improvement.
To achieve this end the
committee considered two factors
as important: that the instructor
believe student opinion will be
useful as a guide in assisting him
to teach more effectively; and
that the instructor know that the
evaluations are purely voluntary
on his part, and that the results
are confidential. This informality,
I believe, would be destroyed and
the effectiveness of the system
harmed if the system was an ad
ministrative device.
Third, members of the com
mittee which studied the prop
posal have every right to ex-
Pep Section Praised . . .
To the Editor:
Your added light on the sub
ject of spirit at Nebraska home
basketball games was greatly ap
preciated. It is a subject which
has long been a problem at N.U.
Much thought has been given
to this subject although no feas
ible solution has been found. In
my estimation the cheering sec
tion composed of the Corn Cobs
and the Tassels has been most co
operative and should be com
mended for it. Furthermore, all of
the yelling should not be done
by this section, but by all of the
crowd. As far as giving up their
"choice" seats, as you term it,
they not only paid for them, the
same as you did for yours, but
they have to work hard contin
ually to keep them.
You must be made to realize
that cheerleading at a basket
ball game is no easy thing. The
game moves much faster and
there are not as many oppor
tunities for cheering as at a
football game.
The student body has been of
fered several opportunities to sug
gest new songs, yells and ideas
that might in any way improve
the school spirit. In no instance
have any suggestions what-so-ever
come from either of you. -
Any constructive criticism or
suggestion offered at any time
I would be greatly appreciated, De

Ivy Rebuttal . . ,
To The Eidtor:
After reading Miss Raymond's
editorial criticizing the class of
ficers, we would like to offer a
suggestion. We propose that, in
the future, The Daily Nebraskan
put up their own acceptable cand
idates for election and profer a
legitimate and effective platform
for those chosen to rest on during
the ardors of their candid and
highly principled campaign.
Miss Raymond Implies to the
effect that there are no actual
duties In the position in issue
other than planning the junior
and senior prom. Why then was
The Dally Nebraskan so vehe
mently concerned that all stu
dents "get out and vote" In the
recent election when there is
no apparent reason for bother
ing to do so? There seems to be
some significance in repeated
warnings by the Editor, during
the November elections, that
students were in danger of mass
intimidation.
That nasty faction!
It appears, dear Editor, that
were it not for class officers, The
Daily Nebraskan would be de
prived of a certain amount of
their journalistic materr so the
class officers do serve The Daily
Nebraskan in one manner of
speaking and don't forget it.

Leaving In February, Mr. and

Adams, who is superintendent

Miss Adams said that they have

immensely in adjusting to the
country.
"My mother majored in Latin

are all anxious to see some of

(Editor's Note: The following
article reviews a story which ap
pears in the Dec. 19 issue of
Christian Century.
1. Would the adoption of UMT
provide more trained soldiers for
the present emergency?
Putting UMT into effect now
would not only fail to provide
more men for the present emer
gency, but it would actually re
duce the effectiveness of what
we are now trying to do. First
It would take men now going
into the draft. Second. It would
take thousands of officers and
noncommissioned officers out of
the present ranks as trainers.
2. Would men trained in UMT
be available for immediate serv
ice in the event of war?
Another definite "no" to this
question. UMT training does not
prepare the individual for combat
in the modern manner. Modern
warfare depends on combat teams
who have learned to fight together
and UMT positively cannot guar
antee this type.
3. Would UMT help reduce
casualties in case of future
war?
Training, especially such ele
mentary training as the UMT pro
gram would offer, can give no as
surance at all that casualty rates
will go down. Most casualties in
modern warfare come from frag
ments of high explosive shells
and no amount of training can
protect a man from these. Ac
cording to the "Infantry Journal,"
"No factual data exists to sup
port the universally held opinion
that the infantry replacement has
initially a higher casualty rate'
than the veteran."
4. Would UMT improve the
national health?
This claim Is so ludicrous that
it hardly needs to be discussed.
Only in a few isolated cases
where men have been brought out
of depravity, could UMT do any
thing for national health. Most
men now follow all health meas
ures that the restricted life of a
UMT cadet would require. At any
rate, since UMT would only have
the men in training for six
months, how could they do any
thing to the man's health in that
time?
5. UMT would save money
for the nation?
Even the commission admits
that the cost of UMT would be
"dreadfully" high, but it doesn't
offer any ways to cut the cost.
With the inflationary spiral what
It is, the costs now estimated
would undoubtedly be much
higher.
6. Would UMT eliminate the
necessity of having a large
standing army?
Under the present circum
stances, we cannot cut down our
present armed forces. The situa
tion today is too tense. UMT of
fers only a reserve of partially
trained individuals with no train
ing in group warefare who would
need a refresher course before
they would do the country any
good. A standing army could be
called anywhere on short notice
and be fully equipped to handle
any situation.
