THE DAILY NEBRASKAN !" Thursday, May 8, 1952 EDITORIAL PAGE New Field In Television As a new field in educational television opens to American colleges and universities, the poten tialities of services by institutions of higher learn ing increase. This field could eventually prove to be one of the most valuable assets of a school. When the Federal Communications commis sion lifted the ban on construction of new tele vision stations, and assigned 243 channels for educational TV, American schools fell heir to a hlfhly valuable field. Channel 18 is available for the Lincoln area. The University has filed an interest in the channel. Presently a committee, headed by George S. Round, director of public relations, is investigat ing the possibilities of television broadcasting for the University, the estimated expenses and possi bilities of taking the channel for educational tele vision. A meeting will be held soon with repre sentatives from surrounding colleges and the Lin coln public schools to consider the possibilities of a joint project The matter of financing such an enterprise is, of course, one of the major pitfalls. Besides construction costs, there would be yearly operational costs. The lessons we can learn from the history f radio are noteworthy. When the Radio act of 1926 was passed, there were no channels re served for education. Later educators cam paigned to get channels which resulted in some success in 1945 with reservation of 20 FM chan- ... On This Campus nels. Today, with TV in its beginning stages, educators have at their fingertips, 12 per cent of television assignments. This is a fact worth con sideration. The chnnnel is available; to pass it by would be folly. The financial difficulties would be great and take time to iron out. However, if the "Uni versity could cooperate with Wcsleyan university, Union college, Lincoln public schools, possibly Seward public schools and any others, a plan could be worked out to finance jointly a project for the benefit of all the educational systems and the tele vision audience. Just as the University of Kansas and Kansas State college are cooperating to pave the way for an educational television setup, just as the University of California and other Bay area colleges are speeding up plans to erase problems lying in their path, just as other public school systems throughout the country are working hard and quickly to get the channel in their area, so can the University make plans possibly coop erating with other institutions in order to get the vast number of benefits available from such a station. If other colleges and universities are doing it if other educators see the potentialities for serving the surrounding community with the machinery and personnel of an institution of higher education, we hope the University is no exception. AVe hope the opportunity will not be by passed J. K. (Tomorrow The Pally Nehravkan. will consider ways of financing rtliicmlonal trlrvUlon.) What Am I Doing Here? Pulitzer Prize Winner, 'Caine Mutiny, Reveals Destroyer-Minesweeper Story - Mary Worrall Bob Rechenboch Riot at the University of Illinois . . . almost. It seems that someone tipped off the nipf tVif 400 nnrl story some boys at the Women's! Dorm. But did the fair sex (you should pardon the word) ap p r e c i a t e this cordon of Champaign-Urbana's finest? Not on your TNE pin they didn't. The protectors of law and order were bombarded, verbally, with such invectives The Pulitzer Trice has recently been awarded to Herman Wouk's novel of the navy in World War II, "The Caine Mutiny." And Ho book deserves this prize more than this rugged of the U. S. S. Caine, t d e s t r o yer mineswecper. AVillie Keith, through whose ryes the mutiny is revealed, is a grim rrinre ton man who matures so visibly during the few years covered here, that it is almost frightening. Wotik, author of "Aurora "Dawn" and "City Boy," has a marvelous command of navy lingo, and yet he makes it un derstandable for the layman. Worrall You sweat out the typhoons on the out-dated Caine; you curse and revolt at the side of the energetic and indignant sailors; and. you scarcely breathe at all as vou read the account of Lieutenant Maryk's trial for court martial. o Humorous and light enough at the beginning, the novel moves into deep and battle-scarred tone. Captain Quecg, a half comic, half-tragic officer, is a petty tvrant whose demanding authority causes the mutiny. Lieut. Marvk, his executive of ficer, is the man guilty of mutiny And Lieut. Keefer, third-in-com-mand, .sparks the revolt. TUa hnmnr nf thf nVV is, aS' usual, at its best.

Indeed, the fact that anyone dent-faculty commencement and honorary degree committee for the addition. The campus perpetually is filled with com plaints that the faculty will never listen to stu dent problems and in many cases these com plaints are justified. Therefore, The Daily Ne braskan wishes to commend the commencement committee for seeing the senior problem and doing something about it. But the committee did more than just increase the number of tickets each senior will receive. It provided for a ticket exchange where seniors with more tickets than they will need may return them and those who could use more may pick up the extra ones. Significantly, the senior class council was chosen to man this exchange office. Senior class president Joe Gifford, a student member of the committee, is in charge of this aspect of the new arrangement. Perhaps the biggest piece of the work in mak ing this year's graduation memorable, involved getting the commencement speaker Trygve Lie, as important as Lie was to speak at the com mencement caused many people to say that there should be no increase in the number of tickets so that there would be more room for outsiders.

While the politicians in Washington have been busily selecting well-balanced Democratic tickets, the people have been stuborn'y casting their bal lots for Sen.

First of all, "they" may net be in a position to rule out the Tennesseean from consideration when the national convention meets in Chicago in July.
