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.)

Pulitzer Prize Winner, 'Caine Mutiny,
Reveals Destroyer-Minesweeper Story
- Mary Worrall

that someone tipped off the

Dorm. But did the fair sex

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,

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.

Chords And Discords-
And One For You
This year graduating seniors will receive three secretary general of the United Nations. No mat
tickets to commencement exercises instead of the ter what Lie says, it will be of national and inter
traditional two. They may thank the joint stu- national importance. Indeed, the fact that anyone

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. It
was argued that it would be good public relations
to let more Lincoln people in to hear Lie speak.

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. Estes Kefauver in various state pri
maries. This willfulness on the part of the rank and
file is causing a number of interested persons
to re-examine the Washington cliche that "they
won't take Kefauver."
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.
The Senator is accumulating delegates with con
