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sincere thanks he has withdrawn L. B. 204.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.

Is he a junior or a senior?
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. Council, perhaps the Council should poke its no6e:publi(?ations

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.
