Even the Faculty Senate must bow before the
power and the limitations of the Machine
Age.
This enlightening fact was brought forth at
the Senate meeting Wednesday as proposals for a
news system of numbering course., were dictated
by the capacity of the University's IBM machines.
As Dr. J. I Sellers, chairman of the Department
of History and the Senate committee investigat
ing possible course-number changes, put it, "The
committee was impressed with the limitations of
the machine."
Explaining why the committee thought it would
be wise if the course-numbering system were left
substantially as it was, Dr. Sellers said that this
is "all the machine knowa."
All that Dr. Sellers said was not to be taken in
a humorous vein, however. His committee was
convinced that no one would be too hurt if the
present system were continued. The main objec
tions to the present method, he said, occurred
when graduate courses were mixed freely with
the undergraduate courses. It was the opinion of
the committee and the Senate that things will
remain the way they are with minor changes.
The most Important changes concern English A
nd B, Chemistry A and Physics A. These let
tered courses confuse the machine and will re
quire special attention.
Probably the proposal of Dean of the Divi
sion of Student Affairs J. P. Colbert to redivide
the semester will be of more importance to the
student body. This proposal calls for r first schol
arship report after four weeks, then another re
port at the end of 10 weeks, and the last report
after finals. The first two reports would continue
to be "progress reports."
Dean Colbert, an extremely able administra
tor and a wonderful individual, told the Senate
that this change would give his office more time
NEBRASKAN EDITORIALS
to work with the student and solve his problems.
According to his report, "Under the present plan,
the semester is half gone by the time we receive
the first reports, process them and get most of
the students into our office for conference . . .
Conferences must be few and inadequate in length
of time. There is little opportunity in either
semester for a student to recover before the end
of the semester."
I think that it is quite evident that this pro
posalpresented to the Senate for action at the
next meeting in Aprilhas nothing but the stu
dents' interests in mind. It is more than fair that
the student who is not doing adequate work in a
course be told of that deficiency at the earliest
possible time. As far as I can see, this proposal
will help many students who find themselves,
deep into a course before they find that it is to
their best interests to drop it. A great deal of
student and faculty time is wasted in such en
deavors. I hope that the Senate will think kindly of this
proposal, I am sure that thinking students will.
The Chancellor, who usually presides over Sen
ate meetings, was late Wednesday because of an
appearance before a legislative hearing on a bill
concerning the University. When he arrived, he
brought the Senate up to date on the exact sta
tus of the school and the legislature. His talk
showed that things will be touchy but not insoluble.
I would like to say here that The Nebraskan's
coverage of the Senate Wednesday marks a new
point in our expanding service to the student. Sen
ate meetings have not heretofore been attended
much less covered by students or their newspa
per. Monday I called Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, secre
tary of the Senate, and asked if there were any
restrictions on student attendance at the meet
ings. He assured me that he knew of none.
We shall continue to cover the meetings of this
basic legislative body.

WORLD
REPORT
Unclaimed Scholarships
Imagination is a quality generally attributed
to college students. The "Roaring Twenties' pro
duced goldfish swallowing episodes and "panty
raids" displayed the same imaginative spirit in
1952.
Yet lack of imagination and accompanying in
itiative on the part of University students leave
many valuable scholarships unclaimed each year.
A wide variety of opportunities for receiving
financial aid on the basis of proven scholastic
competence and comprehensive general tests are
available. The University offers, through the gen
eral Scholarship Awards Committee more than 350
scholarships and grants-in-aid each year.
Special scholarships are also given through spe
cific colleges within the University. The office
of William V. Lambert, dean of the Agriculture
College, handles these matters for Ag students.
- Varied excuses for lack of interest among stu
dents have been set forth, including shyness, mod
esty and fear of an examination. But whatever
the reason for the lack of applicants, many schol
arships are not awarded each year simply be
cause no one applies for them.
Other awards have little or no competition
among applicants for them.
So that students can no longer pTead lack of
knowledge of scholarships, The Daily Nebraskan
during the remainder of the semester will con
tinue it policy of publishing information concern
ing available scholarships. These articles may
be the only announcement of the awards.
Imagination therefore is hardly necessary for
the student interested in a scholarship. All he
must do is read The Nebraskan.
There are now no excuses for empty scholar
ships. S.H.

New Movie
Parallel To
'Quo Vadis'
By BOB SPEARMAN
Staff Writer
"Androcles and the Lion' by
George Bernard Shaw has been
transformed handsomely into a
fine movie. This movie has merit
enough that it should have re
ceived the advance promotion
that "Quo Vadis" received.
The fundamental story in both
movies is the same the persecu
tion of the Christians in the Ro
man Empire. In "Quo Vadis" the
action occurred during the time
of Nero. "Androcles and the
Lion" takes place during the
reign of Caesar.
Here, however, the similarity
in the two movies ends. "Andro
cles," in my estimation, is a far
better story, handled in a much
more delicate way, by much bet
ter actors, which in the end makes
for a poignant and vastly more
entertaining movie.
"Androcles and the Lion" is the
story of a simple Roman tailor
who, through pulling a thorn from
the paw of a lion, eventually pulls
the wool over the eyes of the Ro
mans. Androcles is a hen-pecked
animal lover who would seem
content to feed and water his lit
tle menagerie of animals and let

The Professors Like Us
, EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a ser
ies of editorials based upon discussion and com
ments from the conference on the "Christian
Student and the University.")
To ask "Who is the university?" might seem
like a silly question. Why, it's the faculty, stu
dents, administration and Board of Regents, nearly
everyone would answer. Asked which of these
groups was the most important, most persons
would probably echo the cliche, "The university
exists for the student"
But who determines the entrance requirements?
The course of study? What courses will be of
fered? When classes will meet? Who sets up the
grading system? Assigns lessons? Grades papers?
The answer is the Board of Regents, the ad
ministration or the faculty not the students. Hav
ing considered these facts, students participating
in the Christian Student Workshop were pre
pared to label the university as one of the most
undemocratic institutions in society. The back
ground material, a pamphlet entitled "The Chris
tian Student and the University," seemed to sup
port th view. Even the professors who par
ticipated in the conference appeared to place some
truth in the totalitarianism of the administra
tion and the faculty.
But by the time the "conference ended, no one
doubted for a minute that the university exists
for any other purpose than to serve the stu
dent Although the entire conference revealed the im
portance the faculty places on the student, the
greatest concern was demonstrated during a dis-
Yesteryear At NU ...
cussion on determining the courses offered by a
university.
Students were surprised to hear the extent to
which the faculty keeps its ear the ground to
determine desires and needs of the student in each
department. They were almost shocked when
they learned how instrumental three or four stu
dents could be in obtaining a new course or in
incorporating new features into present courses.
By the end of a 20-minute discussion between
two professors from different departments, con
ference participants were amazed -at the difficul
ties the faculty encounters in its efforts to de
velop a new course to answer student demands.
The overtone of the entire conference was
genuine faculty intrest in, and concern for, the
student. Nearly every speaker, all of them pro
fessors, reflected the faculty's desire to serve the
student
One speaker expressed it well when, after the
end of a discussion period during which he was
extensively interviewed, remarked, "Why, here I've
done all the talking. I came here to find out
what you students think about the University and
the faculty."
The answers he would have received before the
conference would probably have not been the
same as those which prevailed after the week
end meetings.
He and eight or nine other professors had
earned a respect for the faculty a respect that
was based upon understanding the problems and
interests of the professor.

Members and proponents of the
Student Council: take heart. The
Council has survived criticism be
fore. The 1933 Nebraskan com
ments on its activities under this
headline: ''Sleeping Beauties In
Office."
Describing the Council as "a
group of lead idols," the editor
commented:
"Throughout the entire year,
members (of the council) for the
most part have sal in their chairs
like bumps on logs. It has become
apparent that anyone who makes
a motion stands a 89 to 1 chance
that it will be passed simply by
reason of the sleepiness of the
council members.
"No doubt the Council members
feel that the meetings are dull. It
is this their own fault. Not one
single proposal has been consid
ered by the body all year which
has originated from the members
themselves except the one yester
day (abolishing the honor of Ivy
Day 'Orator"). What business has
been conducted has been cut and
dried.
"During the two years it "has
operated under its new constitu
tion it has made some progress as
a body co-ordinating student ac
tivities. But it has failed micjar
ably as an organiaztion to crystal
lize student opinion or to air
grievances. Unless there is resur
rection Of life in the Pnunril and
the student body, the motion to
abolish the Council may be in or

viously not new either in content
or in being. This fact should
hearten Council supporters. At
the same time, however, the
Council must continually prove
itself by being a constructive, ar
ticulate body or else "the motion
