THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Tuesday, May 6, 1952 'BnimfThe Campus- What Am EDITORIAL PAGE All American Equals Innocents? . . . Alums Think So Once again the University Is making headlines. Daily Nebraskan believes that no more need be This time the news comes In form of several In- said. noment alumni protesting the absence of Ail American Bobby Reynolds from the 13 new mem bers of Innocents society for 952 and 1953. Although Reynolds was not contacted about his feelings on the subject, although the 13 retiring- Innocents are responsible for selection of their successors, although no change can be made now, several Innocent alumni have taken it upon themselves to criticize the Innocents society for failure to tackle "Rambling; Robert" at the Sat urday Ivy Day festivities, The climax of the protests so far is the criti cism upon the society for having a 5.2 scholastic average requirement. One alum rationalized his reasoning by saying it was .7 above most other campus organizations; the tradition of Innocents Is to recognize leadership among men on campus; it is not a scholastic organization. Perhaps as one person put it: The matter Is settled. That is the way The Daily Ne braskan feels. Last year's Innocents who made the selections are making- no comments. They probably are doing the wise thing for no re marks can be misconstrued this way. In accord with a promise made last spring, President Jerry Johnson submitted an open lettpr to students In The Daily Nebraskan Friday explaining the basis of Innocents' selections. Outside of that, and the fact that the consti tution provides for a 5.2 minimum average, The Whether Reynolds should or would have been tackled if he had possessed a 5.2 average (his average presently is 4.93) is a question that need not be discussed here. The Innocents set the aver age at 5.2 and the fact that one student is an All American would not entitle the Innocents society to lower it for one case. There have been in stances in previous years where men have failed to possess the minimum average. The same is true in selection of Mortar Boards, senior women's honorary. It is with regret that The Nebraskan reads that alumni believe scholastic averages should be changed or waived for one student. Specifically, in the case of Bobby Reynolds he does not approve lowering: the average for one person. The Daily Nebraskan does not care to comment on the method Innocents society uses for selec tion of successors. However, we are certain that University students would rather have the active Innocents decide who will succeed them as in past years, rather than have Innocents alumni do the choosing. We also extend our sympathy to Bobby Rey nolds who has been made the object of this criticism without knowledge of the fact. And we are inclined to agree with Reynolds, and all others who say wisely: "The matter is settled." Further controversy and further comment from students or alumni will do nothing con structive for the University. -J.K. I Doing ii i nerer Bob Recfienbacfr Before I copy the rest of Chet Huntley's thoughts on Western Liberalism, I'd like to make a few comments on the past week-end.

We deal with people, marry, have children, take part in the civic life of their community. They have failed to relate to living what they teach." What a profound conclusion. Now her words of wisdom will probably again be followed by. both pro and anti reaction on the thread-worn subject. We college students appreciate the concern displayed over our immortal souls, bu after so long- the subject has been wrung dry. It seems unfair to stir up controversy over our sup posedly fallen generation for the selfish purpose of promoting book and magazine sales. The Daily Nebraskan suggests that the anti college writers and the future anti-writers as- have been called such names as heathens, hypo crites, parasites, Communist infested and rebels. Criticizing college education and students in general have been such writers as William F. Buckley, Mortimer Adler, Howard Mumford Jones; now Mrs. Taylor has added her name to the expert list Buckley's book with the brilliant title, "God and Man at Yale" has Jacked up a glorious controversy about college education in the United States. The controversy has obviously caused no harm but only increased his book sales. Jones accuses the college woman of having a pirants turn their attention upon other age groups false set of values and is seeking only security for damnation.

Now back to Chet Huntley and Western Liberalism. "And there's a definition of a liberal in Ruth Suckow's book 'Some Others and Myself which this reporter especially like: . . . liberalism is an approach to the truth, and is not the truth itself. It is not any particular set or be liefs, be they ever so modern; it is a way of coming to the truth one's self, and the essence of this aay to freedom. It is a faith that we can and must come to our be lief in perfect freedom, and it is willingness to grant to others just such a freedom as they and we have already received from God.' "And she adds that the word liberalism also implies, generosity of mind and spirit. o "These are one reporter's guide- posts to lioralism. This is the sort of liberal I would like to be . . . the kind I try to be . . . never quite succeeding . , .
