Opinion Split
On MB Ball
Cancellation
By TOM WOODARD
Staff Writer
Folllowing the announcement of
the Mortar Board Ball cancella
tion, there have been sighs of re
lief or groans of discouragement.
In a poll taken in the general
area of the Crib, Earl Woods and
No. 16th St., answers to the ques
tion," what do you think about the
Mortar Board Ball being can
celled?" Ranged from, "I think it
is a good deal," to "It's a down
right shame."
Don Moore, a University stu
dent for only 12 weeks, said
that many incoming freshmen
had been hearing about the
Military Ball and the Mortar
Board Ball, and were disap
pointed not to be able to attend
both of them. Moore said that
he favored 4he suggestion of
fered by many students to have
the ball even though a big
name band would not be play
ing for the occasion.
Jean Cochell said that she
thought it too bad that the tradi
tion of the dance had been broken,
even if it was just for this one
year. When asked what she in
tended to do' the evening that the
ball was to be held she said that
she had no definite plans, but
thought that there would be little
else to do but go to a movie, or
organize an individual party. Any
plan other than the Mortar Board
would "probably be only half as
nice," Miss Cochell added.

"Due to our Inability to have

Krasne said,
"we decided to

she said. They will plan the

The Mortar Board president
said that it is the hope of the
chapter that every University
woman will help to make the day
a success by taking out a man.
Dec. 12, is an especially good
date for Leap Year Day, Miss
Krasne said, because it is the last
weekend of Leap Year, 1952, that
the students will be on campus.

Herbert Brownell, Jr., who was
named attorney general in President-Elect
Dwight D. Eisenhower's
cabinet Friday, is a 1924 graduate
of the University. Three years
later he graduated Cum Laude
from Yale Law School.
Brownell has been a speaker
at University Charter Day cere
monies. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey started
Brownell in politics when they
were young midwestern lawyers
starting in New York by persuad
ing him to run for the New York
State Assembly. Although de
feated by the Tammany Demo
cratic machine, he ran again in
1932 and won.
The native Nebraskan, a New
York City attorney, was re
quested by Governor Dewey to
manage the campaign of Edgar
J. Nathan f a Manhattan borough
president in 1941. Brownelfs
man won.
As a result, Dewey asked him in
1942 to manage his campaign for
governor. Brownell steered Dewey
to victory and was influential in
setting him up for nominations at
both the 1944 and 1948 Repub
lican National Conventions.
Brownell became Republican
National Chairman after the 1944
Convention and served until 1946.
Although Dewey was defeated
In 1918, Brownell was not fin
ished and he showed np at the
1952 convention in Chicago and
provided professional polish to
the Eisenhower campaign fac
tion. He led the Dewey forces
which are generally credited
with engineering the two fac
tors which gave Ike the victory
reiteration that "Taft can't
win" and the charge that Taft
forces had "stolen" delegates to
the convention from Texas and
other southern states.
Born Feb. 20, 1904 in Peru, he
is the son of late professor Her
bert Brownell, who was chairman
of the University Department of
Science Education. Before moving
to Lincoln, his father was pro
fessor of physical science at Peru

Teacher Service Places
Record Percentage In '52
The University.; teacher place
ment division reports that in 1951
it found positions for the highest
percentage of its registrants since
World War II.
The division serves as a link
between teachers and schools
needing them. Last year 61.4 per
cent of those registered were
placed in new or better positions.
The division was able to supply
only about one teacher for every
eight requested, however. Great
est shortage was of elementary
school teachers. Only 182 candi
dates were available to fill 1,954
openings. Requests for college
teachers also greatly exceeded the
number or candidates.
On the high school level, the
biggest demand was for teachers
of English, music, home econ
omics and commercial subjects
in that order, the division's
records show.
About 2 out of 5 requests for
teachers came from Nebraska, al
though the division received in
quiries from 40 states and six
territories.
Registrations are accepted from
University-graduates and persons
who have earned 15 or more hours
credit from the University.

The question most often asked

Humphrey, 62, Cleveland iron, steel and coal industrialist, as secre
tary of the treasury. Herbert Brownell Jr.. 48, mastermind of the
Eisenhower presidential campaign, was named attorney general.
"It was a great surprise to me," Humphrey said. "I have been
a supporter of Taft and on his committees from the first time he
ever ran for office." He had talked with Eisenhower in New York
for three hours on Wednesday. He said he is severing all business
connections to devote his time exclusively to the cabinet position.
A New York lawyer, Brownell is a trusted adviser to -Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey. Brownell's first act was to ask J. Edgar Hoover
to stay on as FBI director.
Dulles Asks FBI Investigation
JOHN FOSTER DULLES, newly-named secretary of state, said
there will be "no taint of suspicion about the new State Depart
ment" at the top, bottom or in between. The 64-year-old veteran
foreign affairs expert said his first move was to ask the FBI to
make a thorough investigation in his life.
Dulles said he expects to go to Washington between now and
the end of January. He is expected to begin a series of confer
ences with Secretary of State Acheson on the operations of the
department. Dulles met with UN Secretary-General Trygve Lie on
Friday. It is understood, that they discussed the whole range oi

courses required for college
work because their schools
lacked demand for them, but re
ceived criticism when students
arrived at the University with
deficiencies in certain fields.
Dr. George Rosenlof, dean of
admissions at the University, said
that students are not penalized in
getting degrees if the require'
ments are not necessary in the
particular college in which they
are enrolled, if the student calls
the fact to the attention of proper
officials.
Dr. Rosenlof also commented
that there was great difficulty
in having a uniform code of re
quirements in all state univer
sities, but emphasized the fact
that requirements in the fields
of mathematics, English and
social sciences are becoming
quite definite.
He said that work is being done
at the committee level to arrange
for a uniform grading system in
all state high schools. He said that
a proposed standard form would
be submitted In the near future.
The form would include the stu
dents' scholastic record, and
spaces for high official's comment.
Dr. Walter Militzer, dean of
the College of Arts and Sciences
said that in his twenty years
of experience in the field of
education he had found that
high school students were not
qualified to enter college unless
they had taken courses in plane
geometry.
Dr.. Militzer closed by saying
that even though students are re
quired to make up deficiencies in
college,' no student from an ac
credited, high school is barred
from the University because of
deficient, preparation.
