NEBRASKAN EDITORIALS
The Purpose Of A University
(Editor's Note: This is the first of a series of
editorials based upon discussion and remarks at
the conference on the "Christian Student and the
University.')
To determine and evaluate the place of the
Christian student on a university campus was
the purpose of the weekend conference sponsored
by the Presbyterian-Congregational Student House.
But before this position could be discussed, par
ticipating students first turned to the purpose and
characteristics of a university.
Several outstanding University professors at
tempted to define the function of a university.
Most of them agreed that it was to discover truth
or wisdom, to Understand and appreciate life and
to develop the( whole man. (To teach a skill,
all agreed, was a secondary purpose.)
'Ballyhoo1 Misnamed
"Operations in which large numbers of men
may lose their lives ought not to be described
by code words which imply a boastful and over
confident sentiment such as Triumphant' or, con
versely, which are calculated to invest the plan
with an air of despondency, such as 'Woebetide'
. . They ought not to be . . . frivolous . . .
After alMhe world is wide, and intelligent thought
will readily supply . . . well-sounding names
which do not suggest the character of an opera
tion or disparage it in any way and do not
enable some widow or mother to say that her
son was killed in an operation called 'Bunny
hug' or Ballyhoo."'
' Apparently, very few people remembered the
advice given by Winston Churchill almost 10 years
ago. This was obvious two weeks ago when the
order was made for a routine, company-size raid
on the Korean front near Chorwon by the U.S.
7th Division. The point of attack was called Spud
Hill in the T-Bone mountain area which was to
be couppled with air and artillery attacks upon
the Communist infested bunkers and tunnels.
Code word Operation Smack.
A press officer of the 7th Army invited cor
respondents and visitors to view the staged at
tack. As an additional aid, the spectators were
given printed timetables with a fancy cover,
decked with a two-color reproduction of the di
vision's insigne.
Recently, the attack has been underfire as
bloody and purposeless.' Military commanders in
Korea were furious over the criticisms. Gen. Jo
seph Lawton Collins, Army Chief of Staff, blamed
bad reporting, and defended Operation Smack as
"sound and legitimate." "There will be many
more like it" he said. .
The heated arguments have quickly fizzled out
However, before the commanders pick another
code name for an attack, it is certain that some
one will profit from the verbal attack on Oper
ation Smack and remember what the wise Eng
lishman said about "Ballyhoo. S.G.
Yesteryear At MU ...
One professor, however, viewed the function
from a different angle. After mentioning the so
cial forces which prevent professors from ex
pressing their views, he was asked what was
meant by the statement that "college professors
should be liberals."
First, he defined liberal as a person who be
lieves that the world can be improved and is will
ing to consider changes, by peaceful means, if
they indicate a better world. "Every teacher and
minister must believe that the world can be im
proved," he said, "or he wouldn't be a teacher or
minister."
The professor quickly pointed out, however,
that a teacher should, not indoctrinate his stu
dents with what he considers the panacea for the
world's problem. But rather lie should prepare
his students for changes in the world prepare
them to accept changes and in fact to make changes
of their own.
The University therefore assumes a new role.
In addition to discovering the truths and facts of
the past and the present, the student is prepared
for a changing world. How superior this is to
acquainting the student only with today's world
and neglecting the indications and demands for
changes!
The line between the implanting of a new
idea in the mind of a student and the prepara
tion of his mind to receive or originate new ideas
may be fine indeed. But the difference is between
warping the mind and developing the mind.
To draw this line perhaps implies that objec
tive teaching is possible and necessary. Or that
the student is able to detect and correct slanted
presentation of subject matter. Both of these abil
ities were discussed at the conference Jo a large
extent but no decision about their existence was
reached.
If the professor is correct in declaring that
a university should prepare a mind for a changed
and changing world, either the teacher must be
able and willing to separate fact from opinion or
the student must be able to detect the differ
ence. Because both processes are not as simple as
ABC, it is easier to reject the professor's require
ment that a university look to the future and that
it deal with any controversial matter. To teach
only cold, hard facts and figures which have
been accepted by all of society is to tread on
firm ground.
And to turn out a generation of students who!

once again in the hmeiight be
cause of its protest action against
the showing of Charlie Chaplin's
latest movie, "Limelight."
According to Time, on teD. v,
the Legion explained its action bj'j
oointing to the Department of
Justice's investigation of Chaplin.
It feels that the picture should be
banned until the investigation is
completed. The Legion has picked
up powerful support from RKO's
radio executive and producer of
"The Outlaw," Howard Hughes
Time also pointed out that "Lime
light" has appeared in more than
60 cities in the U.S. and Canada
for four months without any cnu
cism whatsoever.
The Legion's charges against
Chaplin have raised the issue of
whether, m the field ot arts, tne
product should be attacked as
well as the cerator. According to
Time, there is nothing about
Limelight" that has been consid
ered "subversive."
It is the Legion's stand, accord
ing to its literature, that the pic
ture should be banned because
there is no guarantee that the
profits derived from the creation
will not be used for the subver-j
sive activities of the creator.)
Therefore, the Legion believes
that to pay money to see enter
tainment put on or created by
subversives is to give money to
enemies. According to the Legion
point of view, this is as bad as
shipping them
might be used against us.
Attackers of Legion tactics, on
the other hand, point out that it
is against our basic freedoms to
suppress mediums such as movies.
They point out that we are no bet
ter than totalitarian governments
if we suppress the very freedoms
we accuse them of suppressing.
The New York Herald Tribune,
in attacking the Legion stand,
said, "The Legion has made the
cardinal error of attacking the art
in place of the artist ... To
make rude remarks about movies
you do not like is an American
privilege. But to suppress them is
not good sense. Charles Chaplin's
political activities, if any, can be
dealt with at the proper place and
time, but to drag his movie into
the indictment is oppressive and
ill-advised."

Wives of Windsor" by Nickolai.
The music room library has
folksongs such as "Four Eskimo
Songs," operas, ballet and Negro
spirituals plus other classical and
semi-classical records.
The room is open to any Uni

mately 600 records, 54 albums,
a four-drawer cabinet for albums,
walnut cabinet for albums, one

was $1,350. The Union replaces
broken records in the library. It
made six new purchases in 1948
and 1949 and at present has 194
selections on order.

History
Hours
Unknown
A girl and her fella are inno
cently studying or playing ping
pong in the recreation room of
the Women's Residence Hall. A
house chaperon walks in and says,
"Sorry, but you'll have to leave.
Visitors aren't allowed here until
4."
The incident occured frequently
during first semester and, al
though the rule was broken un
knowingly, the situation proved
embarrassing to both boy and
girl.
Though rules governing visiting
hours in women's organized
houses seem complicated and un
necessary, they are considered
necessary to the point of often
being enforced by "campusses" for
the girl. To avoid similar in
stances second semester, it is
worthwhile to review the rules
set up by the Associated Women
Student's Board.
Men are allowed in women's
organized houses on Saturday and
Sunday from 12 noon until regu
lar closing hours for these nights.
On Friday they may visit from
noon to 1 p.m. and from 4 p.m.
to 12:30 a.m. Monday through
Thursday visiting hours are at
noon from noon to 1 p.m. and from
4 to 8 p.m. Women students

tively. She may attend scheduled
parties at these houses only if
