AN EXPLANATION There are times when this newspaper business becomes much more important than we who write can Imagine. There are times when what we say means more to the reader than it does to the writer. But, more important, there are times when what we say means different things to the reader than it does to the writer. Editorial writers are constantly on guard to make themselves perfectly clear because misun derstanding is very bad. Unfortunately, I was not careful enough when I wrote my "Just Between Us" column for Thursday. I had planned to write it as a satire on the Mortar Board Coed Follies skit. My honest intention was to lampoon the MB's much the same as they lampooned the rest of the campus Tuesday. NEBRASKAN EDITORIALS Many readers got the wrong idea when they read the Column. For this, I sincerely apologize. 1 apologize especially to the Mortar Boards and the Innocents. Jf any Mortar Board thought that I meant what I was saying, 1 wish to say here that I did not. Everything was said in lest. 1 do think that more work could have been done on the skit; but this does not have anything to do with my esteem for the Mortar Bcrds. I respect every member, I apologize to the Innocents because several persons have pointed out that the column seemed to be giving the Innocents' point of view. It was not. All views expressed were mine. WORLD REPORT TODAY'S HEADLINES . . .Pro fessor Wendell Furry of Harvard University - refused to tell the House Un-American Activities Committee whethir he is or ever has been a Communist Party member . . .

His sense of the dramatic in the news is al most uncanny; his delivery of the hews has a. quality with which few, if any, commentators can compare. But, if the caliber of his presentation Is high, therte still remains the question of definition of the terms Harvey has occasion to use In his com mentary. Harvey is known as a crusader opposed to "subversive textbooks," and, In 1952, received the first American Legion award for "militant Ameri canism." Still fresh in the memory of Nebraskans are the recent American Legion efforts to ban a book from the campusa book, it h recalled, that was not being used at the time of the attack. Harvey has an opportunity to define and clarify his views, and perhaps those of the Legion, concerning "academic freedom," "subversive books" and "Americanism." The divergence of Views on these points is so extreme that many persons frequently forget that the motives guiding both the "exposers of subver sion" and the "defenders of academic freedom" are similar. Both are American. Both believe that our sys tem of education is a powerful, maybe even the most powerful, factor in America's future. But, here the similarities end. The educator believes that the health and the very strength of a democracy is an educated and intelligent citizenry. And in order to accomplish this that the citizen be able to arrive at intelli gent conclusions all sides of a question must be available for analysis. Therefore, says the edu cator, any attempt to restrict the communication of ideas, of different views is, in itself, subversive, On the other side of the question, the "cham pions of Americanism" believe that they have Sufficient knowledge and judmien,t to state that this book shall not be read, this movie is not con ducive to "good Americanism," the views of this educator are different therefore dangerous and radical. All this, they believe, must necessarily be right since it conforms to their concept of "Americanism." Since Harvey too, is an "educator," Indeed, with many times the potential for influencing the American public than an academic educator, is it not the right of the citizen nay, the duty to be informed of the policies and arguments he pre sents. We require our educators to define their poll cles Is it too much to request the same of our commentators? Americanism, to The Daily Nebraskan, implies the right to co-existence of widely opposed opin ions. Thus, though the views of Harvey and this paper may not be the same, It is possible at the same time to respect Harvey as a fellow Ameri can and as a journalist and still request that he take advantage of his visit to Nebraska to bring about a better understanding of "Americanism." The students, faculty and citizens of Lincoln are deeply interested in this Controversy, and will listen intently to what follows the famous intro duction, "Hello Americans. This Is Paul Harvey." E. D. By DICK RALSTON Staff Writer "The League says: 'Naughty, naughty.' " Twenty years ago, the League of Nations con demned Japan's aggressive policy in China. Twenty-years ago this was hailed as "a con siderable advance toward the goal of international enforcement of world opinion." Less than nine years later, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor made World War II a complete global conflict. Editorially, The Dai Nebraskan described the action 20 years ago: "The League of Nations assembly in a recent session passed a solemn vote of censure upon Japan's policy of aggression in Manchuria and unanimously recommended non-recognition cf any government established in territory thus illegiti mately acquired. Japan's delegation in the as- sembly walked out after the vote was taken. "But despite these facts ... this action is a considerable advance toward the goal of interna tional enforcement of world opinion. The very fact that the most powerful nations of the world have at last agreed unanimously to condemn policy undertaken by another powerful nation is proof that it is possible to unite International opinion against a violator of international ethics." The situation presents all sorts of analogies to the present situation. But the main point I'd like to make is that world college students, then artd now, were Optimistic about the future of the world. , Students generally are not the best .qualified i to comment on world politics, which may explain, in part, their general'optimism. More than likely, however, student optimism stems more from the fact that the student knows that the world has recovered from "desperate" situations before. It is hard for him to reconcile his requirements as a soldier, directing the military operations, with those he has as High Com missioner, controlling the civilian administration. Going around the place, one hears praise for him chiefly in the former role. One often hears the thought ex pressed that perhaps he hS9 ful filled the mission for which his experience and personality are so fitted, a mission so shortrange, dynamic, determined military or ganization and execution as op posed to long-range complexities in the evolution of nationhood out of conflicting communal interests. A struggle for national inde pendence is going on, with the Malays far more active in it than the Chinese. But it is not con nected with the operations of the Communist terrorists. Those are a projection into Malaya of '.the Chinese civil war. Nearly all the gunmen are Chinese. The great majority of their civilian victims have been Chinese also. Figures compiled up to the start of this year show that, in round numbers, 2,160 civilians have been killed, as well as 380 soldiers, 480 regular police, 610 special constables, and 160 auxiliary po lice. 610 civilians are listed as "missing," and casualties have been far more numerous than killings. The Communist losses appear as 3.667 killed, 981 cap tured, and 877 induced to sur The latest way of encouraging people to give themselves up is to fly over the jungle a plane from which Communists already surrendered can expound to their former comrades the advantages of following suit. Troop-carrying helicopters from the United States are to come into action this year. The federation Army is to in crease, if Malays, Chinese Indians, and Eurasians can be induced to join it with more enthusiasm than has been displayed thus far. The Chinese in general con tent to watch the game from the sidelines. Outnumbering the Ma lays in Malaya and Singapore combined, and . increasing faster 1 per cent per annum, they feel that time is on their side and British rule a valuable protection until later. There are only about 5,000 Chinese In a police force numbering nearly 70,000, and this represents quite a problem not merely of language. It has to be remembered that, in spite of all the military and police operations, Malaya is not under martial law. The lighting services are aiding the civil power, not replacing it. Economic con siderations have to be balanced against military necessities, as when the closing of a rubber estate for a time woulld prevent aid to Communist gunmen but would entail an unacceptable loss of dollar revenue. Civilian rights and opinions have to be taken into account as fully as possible in the desire to win or retain public support, for which the Communists are now also bidding by subtle means. The civilian aspects of Malaya will be written about, in the future.

Daily O'Collegian) Longer hours now in effect in A&M's new multi-million dollar library will give students a chance to take full advantage of the new quarters. During the week Monday through Saturday the building will be open until midnight each night. The building will open from 2 p.m. until 10 p.m. each Sunday. Previous budget cuts said short ages of help in the old library had limited the hours for the building, and brough many Justi fied complaints from the students. Edmon Low, college librarian, points out that the combination of all libraries into one building has resulted in more efficient op eration, hence longer hours. "The eontroversy,' the Bruin said, "lives on, to the benefit of no one and the discomfort of all." ICR. Christian doctrine, taught byRexhmnh, and any payment they Knowies ana t atner cross or tnerrray receive can hardly repay can no longer be requirea to signi, vlctory But tnt victory is the oath inaugurated by the board sourec) of regents. At first glance the decision ap pears to be a victory for non signers since the court's ruling has forced the board of regents to Invite removed professors to resume their former positions on state university faculties. Four of 19 non-signers at the University of California (Berke ley) and two of four who refused to sign at UCLA have already returned to the two campuses. But the victory is not so clear cut as the Daily Californian would have its readers believe when it called the return of the faculty members "some of the best news for the University of California since the start of the loyalty oath controversy." The Califorhian Interpreted the court, decision as entirely sup porting the position of the non- signers. But the UCLA Daily Bruin came closer when it de clared, "As we read its opinion, we felt that the court was say ing, 'Let's end this thing without giving anyone a victory.' " The sobering factors are two: back pay and a new loyalty oath. The court decision made no mention of compensation for back pay. The board of regents, un able to decide whether to reim burse the returning instructors, voted overwhelmingly to send the Question back to the same courts Which declared the oath uncon stitutional. .The Californian declared, "The right of those professors to back salary which they had lost as a result of the board's unfair and Unlawful action was, to us, read ily apparent both on legal and moral grounds ... It is impera tive, at this point, that the courts decide in favor of payment. The men involved are not looking for them for the courageous stand they have maintained throughout the past two and a half years." Although the Bruin did not take a stana on back payments, both papers agreed that the court with "impartial judgment" and "less biased and greater minds" than the board of regents was the place to determine how much, if anything, should be paid to non signers. The second factor which de tracted from victory was the sub stitution of the Levering oath, re quired of all state employees, for the regents oath. The Bruin stated that the court "maintained that the state legislature had passed a general law the Lev ering Act applying to all state agencies and that this general law superseded the regents' ac tion." In other words, a general oath simply displaced the special oath. Differences between the two have not been explained by the Cali fornia university dailies. Undoubtedly there are some, since professors who objected to NORTH CAROLINA 'Alumni Have Right To Aid Any Student (From the North Carolina Dall, Tar Heel) It is fun to write articles and letters-to-the-editor for the Daily Tar Heel which criticise the ad ministration, trustees, and alumni of the University. It is more than fun, since such action gives a stu dent added prestige among his fellows. However, this practice ol unthinking attack has become to prevalent lately that It threatens to distort the true issues under consideration. I refer specifically to the matter of athletic scholarships, but it holds for broader issues. Students should realize in the first place, that the money they pay to the University represents only a small part of the total cost of their re duction. Neither do the state taxes pay all the costs, or provide all the facilities. Every student in this school is on a scholarship, though few realize it, and fewer still will acknowledge the fact The alumni who ti-e so roundly criticized for supporting athletes also help pay for the buildings in which we study and the dormi tories in which we live. Though considerable sums of money go to support "athletics" it in no way approaches the sums given for academic matters. -TV The expose, if there must be lj' one, should not be directed at the amount of money going to certain students, but to what kinds o! special treatment, if any, these students receive. A member ol the alumni has every right to five money to help any kind of student that he wishes, be he athletic, scholar, or what have you. No member of the alumni, however, has the right to expect that once such help is given, the recipient has the right to preferential treat ment of any kind. Let us turn our attention, then, toward the things we can add to the University to make it better, rather than the things we can take away. .
