2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, March 27, J953 Just Botvieen Us... By DOK PIEPER Editor The Daily Nebraskan and Terry Carpenter have never been on especially friendly terms both of us are somewhat outspoken. Carpenter, now state senator from Scottsbluff, didn't make conditions any better last fall when he called Ruth Raymond a "naive school girl" because of her and The Daily Nebraskan's stand on the Anderson case. But Carpenter has done something as a legis lator which The Nebraskan feels is worthy of sincere thanks he has withdrawn L. B. 204. We consider this move one of the wisest Carpenter has ever made. You haven't read much in your student paper or either of the two metropolitan papers either, for that matter about I B. 204. Quite possibly, very few of you even knew such a measure had been proposed. In very loose terms, this is what L. B. 204 called for: Every person engaged in teaching In public schools, normal schools, teacher's colleges and universities and all other employees paid from public school funds shall sign a pledge promising to "inculcate" their students at every opportunity with "Americanism." More precisely, instructors would promise to teach the virtues of the consti tution, expound on the wonders of American history, foster "love and devotion" for the country and encourage opostion to all organizations con trary to the American system. There has been a great deal of opposition to the bill among University instructors for a great many reasons. ' This opposition, active though it may have been, has been kept under cover be cause a general uproar might have insured pas sage. It is hard, state legislators insisted, to vote NEBRASKAN EDITORIALS against such a measure because it looks like we are against teaching "Americanism." If the bill became an issue, the chances were good that it might have been passed. The best possible solu tion to the problem of defeating the measure, was to have Carpenter withdraw it He has done it The Nebraskan does not know his exact reasons but we have no reason to believe that Carpenter didn't realize that his idea just wasn't in the public interest. I think that we will all agree that loyalty that comes from within is the very best and most ef fective type of lyalty. If instructors are told that their jobs depend on their consent to the aforementioned pledge, they are being forced to be loyal. I cannot prescribe to that doctrine and I think that the majority of you students feel the same way. The best example of the impracticality of the bill is the biology instructor who leads off his class with a dissertation on the freedoms guaran teed by the Bill of Rights. The legislative fight over University measures is not over, however. Monday, the Unicameral will discuss a proposal by Sen. Dwight Burncy to cut part of the all-university appropriation and give it to Med School. University officials argue that this would negate any possible improvements on this campus and not give Med School enough money to make any difference. Monday afternoon the budget will be debated. The University is trying to get a substantial but needed increase over the last appropriation. ammunition in Korea were touched off bv questions about the differences between the Penta eon and Gen.

Everywhere you turn that question crops up. Is the student to be classified as a junior or as a senior? Perhaps the answer seems obvious. Or per haps the question itself appears an academic one with no practical value. But during the last week the problem of de termining whether a student is a junior or a sen ior has arisen in applications for Student Council positions and for class officers and in selection of honor students. The difficulties which arise stem from the University's definition of freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. "According to the scale em ployed by the Office of Registrations and Records, a freshman has from zero to 26 hours, a sopho more from 27 to 52 hours, a junior from 53 to 88 and a senior from 89 hours or more. The numbers are determined by figuring backwards from 125, the number of hours re quired for graduation by most colleges in the University, at the Tate of 36 hours each year. Thirty-six hours a year is the maximum load al lowed without special permission. Problems occur when, figuring from the other end of the scale, a student carries 18 hours each semester for five semesters. Thus at the end of the first semester of what would normally be his junior year, a student has earned 90 hours, or enough to qualify him as a senior. The same is true for a sophomore who has carried 18 hours for three semesters. At this time he has earned 54 hours and has become a junior. At first glance, rapid advancement from one class to another at mid-year appears admirable. The student who can carry 18 hours a semester for three or five semesters undoubtedly has a right to be classified on a higher level. But at the same time the higher classification places him In a number of awkward positions. First, according to the Student Council consti tution, the sophomore who is rated a junior can not apply as a candidate for a Council position.

It is a result not pleasant to contemplate. For the Senator's mentality and methods are such that part from any question of his "aims," he poisons whatever he touches. In his hands the fight against subversion becomes a fight against free opinion, and the quest for "efficiency" becomes a quest for conformity. Any criticism of him is thus, in his view, "a vicious smear job," whoever voices it "a it is close at hand. After 4iis study he might still be unable to pass iiudgment on Mr. McCarthy's In other words, among the members of thej"aims" but he could safely guess "Superior Seniors," dressed ready for graduation, the probable result of the Sena will be a number of juniors who will not be grad uated until a year from June and who will per haps be seated in the same position during next year's honors convocation. A strange situation, to say the least: seniors for two years! The administration is aware of the curious situations created by sharp divisions between classes.

Students Run Traffic Court For Violators By DICK KALSTOV ( Staff Writer It is hard to say just why pacificism had such an appeal to the student of 1833, but it would 6eem extremely naive to deny its existance.

As The Ne braskan put it, the general policy seemed at the time to be: "In time of peace, prepare for war." The Minnesota Daily waged a year-long edi torial fight against compulsory ROTC classes which was commented upon from time to time in The JJebraEkan.
