. . . Blame The Schedule
"Blame the schedule!" has beeomt a watchword
monf University students during recent weeks.
Thsrs la the Journalism student who finds he
bums take both History 117 and Journalism 81
Start fall as ho had planned because they both
Will be offered at 9 a-m. Monday, Wednesday
and Frkhty.
And the? Is the freshman taking Political
Science 1 at 9 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridayswho finds his final examination is sched
uled for May 31.
There is even the business administration junior
who cannot find a parking place on campus as he
rushes to his Business Organization 147 class at
a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
"Blame the schedule!" Is always the charge.
Despite the howls, however, administrative ma
chinery grinds on refusing to make exceptions or
to change rules. Little can be said against such
a policy, for indeed exceptions cannot be made
at a mere snap of the fingers. In a university
at large as Nebraska, a schedule must be fol
lowed to the last point if order is to result.
One Briticism seems valid, nevertheless. That
la that there are too many classes scheduled at
i, 10 and 11 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays.
At least in part, each of the three problems
mentioned above results from this overcrowding
at! a portion of the schedule.
(1) The parking problem becomes particularly
acute during these three hours, while vacant
paces are apparent at almost every other hour.
(2) Countless conflicts occur as a result of the
amess of classes during these hours.
(J) If there were fewer 9 a.m. classes, fewer
students would be affected by the May SI exam
inations this year andless criticism would be
heard. In thejng run, the number of late ex
aminations would be equalized, but at any one
time there would be no group as large as is af
fected this year.
Daring a conference with a student member
ttt the parkinr committee a few months ago, Dr.
Carl W. Borgmann, dean of faculties, remarked
that efforts were being made to reduce the num
ber of classes meeting at 9 and 10 a.m. on these
days. He blamed an excess of classes at these
times durinr this semester for at least part of
the Increase in parking violations which occurred
durinr January and February.
A count of the number of these classes this
semester and the number listed in next fall's
schedule, however, reveals that no substantial
.change has been made. During this semester
there were approximately 155 classes meeting at
9 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday (or other
combinations of these days). Next fall there will
be an almost identical number. The same is true
for 10 a.m. classes about 155 each semester. The
11 a.m. period is somewhat better with 145 classes
but the number will not decrease next fall.
Perhaps the change Dean Borgmann referred
to will be made at a more future date. Perhaps
other factors have entered the picture since the
parking conference.
At any rate, it is evident that an unduly
large number of classes are scheduled during
these three hours and that parkinr problems
and conflicts are the inevitable result.
From a faculty point of view, scheduling all
classes during three mornings a week would mean
open periods at other times, allowing instructors
to remain away from school to grade papers, con
duct research or simply to stay at home. From a
student view, i o, entire mornings and afternoons
free from classes are welcome.
A decreased student enrollment undoubtedly
further complicates the schedule. The faculty
must be cut, sections doubled up and the schedule
contracted.
The problems involved in arranging classes
and particularly in changing the schedule are in
finite. Only a few of them are probably known
to students or anyone else outside of the ad
ministration and the scheduling committee.
The comment by Dean Borgmann, however,
seems to imply that University officials realize
that the schedule lacks balance and that some
thing ran and should be done to correct the sit
uation. But so far, we're still waiting amid cries of
"Blame the schedule!" K.R.

What Am
I Doing
Here?
Bob Recfienbach
By CONNIE GORDON-
Guest Columnist
"The climax of the year!
Your 1952 Comhusker is
here."
I was one of the thousands
of students, approximately,
fwho stormed the Cornhusker
office yesterday for the spe
cific purpose of obtaining my
'52 yearbook.
After looking in the index
to find where I could find my
pictures (you see, I'm only
human) , I casually looked the
book over.
The cover of this year's Corn
husker is maroon and buff. It
shows a picture of a half-peeled
ear of corn which is partially
concealed by an embossed pic
ture of the state of Nebraska.
I glanced further and noticed
that the words "ITniversity of
Nebraska" and "Lincoln, Ne
braska" were printed on the
embossed map. As I razed at
the cover, I couldn't help but
think how c 1 e v e P the Corn
husker staff was in associating
an ear of corn and a map of
Nebraska with the University.
The introduction to each section
in the yearbook is done in var-i
ious colors rangme from bright

The Devil And The Mask
Twenty-nine juniors will be recognized as cam
pus leaders for the next year. Their traditional
activities will Include events such as Dads' Day,
scholarship tea, Black. Masque ball, Frosh hop and
finally, Ivy day.
The activities of some of the new members in

Tassels, Builders, All University Fund, AWS,
KUCWA, Red Cross and BAB W presidencies.
And now all 29 have added another activity
and another meeting to their already busy sched
ules. The Dally Nebraskan wonders If the new
members will devote their abilities as leaders to
the organisations and strive towards their im
provement Or will their actions in the societies
reveal that the m askings and tacklings were mere
ends?
These members have proved their leadership
ability for three years and have now been re
warded. There Is another year ahead. Will the
members forget their recent "junior jitters" and
devote the coming year to the weekly selection of

new members and to tackling and masking prac
tice? The Daily Nebraskan hopes not.
Six thousand students will be watching the so
cieties looking for actions both to condemn and
praise.
The Daily Nebraskan hopes that the new
members will look upon their memberships as
the means, the means to contribute something
lasting during their year as leaders. Through
their combined efforts the groups have all the
potentialities of devoting their services to the
University. Such events as the Tug-of-War,
Frosh Hop and Black Masque ball Indeed are
not trivial; but The Daily Nebraskan hopes these

Learning On The Air
Although the Cornhusker is
certainly worth the $5 students
pay for the privilege of owning
it, I believe that students might
obtain the same results by sav
ing all copies of The Daily Ne
braskan printed throughout the
year. At the end of the year,
you would have a complete rec
ord of the years activities.
Of course, this scheme has
its disadvantages. For instance.
The Daily Nebraskan is not
printed on slick paper; but,
after all, you can't have every
thing . , . and besides, there is
a lot to say for paper that isn't
slick. For example, you'll find
it much simpler to wrap gar

Daily Nebraskan than a page
from last year's Cornhusker.
(And with men who know gar
bage best, it's The Daily Ne

Presenting a zoology lecture with live or mounted

These are just a few of the possible types
mt programs which the University could present
through educational television. And these pro

through stations of their own or through part
time nse of a eommercial station re possibili
ties en this campus ever since the Federal Com
munications commission lifted the ban on con
struction sf television stations.
A channel is open in this area for educational
television. The steps to secure it must be taken
by the University; the FCC will not come ask
ing. The nearest illustration of the type of pro
gram which could be utilised over educational
television can be found at the University of
Omaha. A series of short courses for college
credit have been started. Station KMTV has
reserved a minimum of 52 weeks with full re
sources to the series.
The University of Iowa has been on the air
with television since 1932. It now is a leading in
stitution In television instruction.
Type and content of programs is almost un
limited. In fact, the worst problem the Uni
versity would have probably would be determining
the time and the number of forums, discussions,
demonstrations and the like. Content can range
from the powers of the United Nations to animal
husbandry problems on Ag campus.
Three smiversitles already offer credit in
morses ever television. The price for each
semester credit is the same as for classroom in
struction. Anyone can take the course free,
but students wanting to take an exam for credit
most pay. This would Te an additional source of
taoome for the station to offset expenses.

order to give all students opportunity to hear
outstanding instructors has not been overlooked.
The project involving television courses for
credit generally raises the question of whether
the listeners actually acquire as much informa
tion as classroom students. In one instance TV
students taking the final exam received higher
grades than students who had been attending
regular lectures. Although other outside fac
tors enter in, this experiment does show one
thing it is possible to learn over the air.
Another question concerning educational tele
vision is whether the community is interested
enough in the programs to justify the broadcasts.
We might look at Western Reserve university which !

If the educational programs are successful

Other schools have recognized its potentialities.
We think it is worth serious consideration by

De-Emphasis A laugh
Editor's nte: The followni letter was sub
mitted by the writer to both The Dally Ne
braskan and the Oklahoma student news,
paper).
To The Editor:
As might have been expected,
the de-emphasis program is re
ceiving nothing but unpleasant,
ironic and farcical emphasis.
The stand taken by Coach Wil
kinson and Dr. Cross, that there is
nothing wrong with visits and re
cruiting overtures to promising
athletes, at least until the rule
prohibiting it goes into effect.
Sept. 1, is labelled by Chancellor
Gustavson of Nebraska as "just
nonsense," and 'It doesn't mean
that you can sin up to that date
and then stop sinning."
That it should come to this! A
coach who encourages a prom
ising athlete to come to OU is
not only breaking a Big Seven
rule before it soes into effect,
but he is committing some kind
of a sin!
Alumni, students, athletes them
a challenge to every
and sports follower to insist on the
breaking off all Big Seven rela
tions. It is the kind of sorry
diplomacy that no kind of "apol
ogy" will cure.
It is always irking to see in
dividual rights kicked around
by authorities. It particularly
irks me when power-laden edu
cators take it upon themselves
to rule the athletic M-orld, as
well as their own academic
world, in the high-handed, all
wise, psuedo-pious manner as
reveared by Chancellor Gustav
son. It takes a little nerve to
call such intelligent men down
right stupid and ignorant; but
Chancellor 'Gustavson and all
like him are obviously as ignor
ant and as stupid as they come
when it comes to understanding
the mind, morals, temperament
and ethics of coaches and ath
letes. I don't mean "just non
sense." I mean downright ignor
ance and stupidity.
Let them go .-about their as
sumed crusade of de-emphasis,
but a fair warning is in order to
such officials: be sure that you
don't go too far in interfering
with a coach's right to coach, and
an athlete's right to compete.
Yours very truly,
HARLEY D. STRONG, JR.
Next on the list is a set of
separates. You know the kind
that make you practically dizzy
because there are so many ways
to mix and match those skirts,
shorts, pedal pushers, blonses
This one outfit alone can save a
lot of room in the suitcase.
Then how about a late day
sheath dress of orlon and nylon.
The number one favorite
cashmere to wear with skirts
or over those sleeveless cottons
is the white cardigan. No one
will deny that for a beautiful,
summer sweater, white cash
mere is tops.
If you are planning on doing
any hiking and yet look stylish,
I would suggest wearing brown
leather oxfords. There is some
thing about that British look that
words just can't describe.
Naturally you will need an
extra pair of heels along with a
matching bag. You may find that
a good neutral color will go well
with the rest of your attire.
Well, that is the bare essentials.
From there you should not find it
much more difficult to select
those extra pieces. Anyway, It
is going to be a busy summer
but have fun.
