Page 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Tuesday, April 14, 1953 ust Between Us.. . Maybe a Jot of you students have never had a class under Dr. W. H. Werkmeister; probably most of you haven't. This is truly unfortunate because Dr. Werkmeister has a grasp on the real mean ing of philosophy and, more important, he has the ability to make the student want to grasp that meaning too. Beet use the University of Southern California realizes the worth of Dr. Werkmeister's ability and the depth of his understanding, he is leav ing our University after 30 years of service. He has been head of the department of philosophy since 1947. His students here will remember him as a kindly-faced man in a gray suit who liked to sor of philosophy, indicates how much the Uni sit on the desk while he delivered his lectures versity will miss that German philosopher who In his heavv German accent. They will recall has done so much to teach us about the inner that he had a wonderful quality when it came meaning of life. to analogies a most important part of philosophi cal lectures. Dr. Werkmeister always seems to know the right parallel to draw. These are small things and not what we should remember about a man as great, as Dr, Werk meister. We should remember him for scholarly disertations of which he has written many--and dilligent research of which he has done a great deal. But Dr. Werkmeister is the friendly type of individual that you remember because he en joys what you have to offer him.

NEBRASKAN EDITORIALS Military And Or Economic? A French journalist criticized American for- East and West, since "the .Russians have nothing eign policy on a number of points Monday. He to gain" in such a conflict. Schreiber implied suggested what he called a new approach to the that the recent Communist overtures to peace are fight against Communism. Jean-Jacques Servan Schreiber told an all-University convocation that the world conflict be tween Communism and the West has shifted from military to economic battlefields. To meet this shift, he said, Americans must re-evaluate their policies. ' Schreiber thus implied that our foreign policy has been based entirely or at least largely upon military preparedness and that we have completely forgotten the economic problems of Western Eur ope. He presented the economic emphasis as a new approach to world problems. But American foreign policy has not been based entirely upon the military not by a long way. Nor has it forgotten the economic. Rather, mili tary aspects of our fight against Communism have primarily represented safeguards to a growing efort to establish a strong economic system in the free world. based upon genuine fear of American power. The Russians have now turned toward eco nomic development in their own orbit, he said, in an effort to outstride the West in raising the standard of living. As a result, he said, Moscow might become one of the great centers of the world's economy and Communism might obtain its greatest prom ise to peoples with low standards of living. The answer, he said, is to shift our foreign policy from the military to the economic. Schreiber's arguments apepared sound and con vincing. But the issue is not black and white nor military or economic. Perhaps the West can stress economic more than it has. But the aim of our policy has been to place more and more emphasis on economic strength as the military becomes strong enough to defend the free world. Schreiber speaks when the future of our pol icy is at stake. Voices such as his may remind Thursday.. . , Wilson To Tighten Pentagon Security OCniTOR'S NOTE: Th fallnwin .editorial appeared In the April 1st edition of the Christian Science Monitor.) Defense Secretary Wilson has a big job ahead of him perhaps bigger than he realizes to tighten up on Pentagon security. Not so much as to high-level documents and decisions, but as to the thou sands of subsidiary memoranda, letters, and verbal exchanges which necessarily must circulate at intermediate and even lower levels. Here's a sampling of the prob lem: An officer during World War II once "served as custodian of "classified" material for a mili tary installation dealing largely with development and evaluation of weapons. "Restricted" publica tions were kept in locked steel cabinets, to which several had keys. "Confidential" documents were secured in a safe with two combinations which he alone knew. The ' secret ' nestled in a steel compartment within that safe opened by still a third com bination. This last material he wishes to lead of f the session with I would like to congratulate his own gripes against the course the Ag Exec Board on coming and the students The session has been named the "Ag Bull Session." As the plans now stand, the bull session will be a place where the students can present their gripes or suggestions for any course on the campus. It is planned to have as many of the department chairmen present as possible. I have only one word of warn ing for the students who are go ing to present gripes or sugges tions at this session. I hope you up with this idea and second for seeing it through as the Ag col lege can reap some benefit from it. Now I want to present one gripe I have. It has been the policy in the past that the Farmer's Fair is an all campus affair. However, 1 think the fair board has not been treated squarely in trying to ret support for their show. The students have not cooper ated with the board to any great extent. Union Cues Tin Pan Alley Talent Mares Debut Sunday Schreiber's remarks came at a crucial moment our government's foreign affairs men that a strong in our relationship with the Communist world, for the Department of State is undoubtedly for mulating what the United States policy should be toward the new Russian "peace" program. The journalist told University professors at a luncheon that war is extremely unlikely between military program has never been our ultimate goal. The military has merely been the means to the end Schreiber advocates. We hope that the men in Washington keep the journalist's words in mind. They are easily forgotten in this Cold War. K.R. There'll Be Mother Queen There'll be another queen this spring and The Daily Nebraskan will be responsible. Last year, Tom Rische got a little fed up with the number of iueenships available for Univer sity coeds and decided that there ought to be something done about it. As Editor of The Daily Nebraskan he instituted the Miss Rag Mop con test, and we're going to carry on the tradition. As you may remember, Miss Rag Mop is not a queen according to the usual conception. In fact, the only way she will resemble other queens is in her beauty, grace and charm an essential royal quality everywhere. To be eligible you young ladies must: 1. Have an accumulative grade average of 7.5 or above. ' 2. Not have participated in any extra-curricular activities as listed by AWS at the Univer sity. 3. Not be engaged, pinned or going steady. 4. Not have ever been a queen on this cam pusof any organization. Filings for this important and we're very ser ious about this idea contest will open Wednes day. A news story elsewhere in the paper will give more complete details about the proper fil ing procedure. The male members of The Daily Nebraskan staff all of whom are extremely capable will do the judging. Last year, 13 scholastically proficient coeds applied for the honor and Bonnie Varney won the title. We on The Nebraskan staff hope that at least 13 University women will be interested this year the more the better. W would like to set this idea up as a permanent tradition. Candidates do not need to sell tickets, make speeches or in any other way campaign for the honor. So, University coeds with high averages and a long record out of activities, apply for Miss Rag Mop of 1953. The winner gets sole claim to the title, her picture printed in The Daily Nebraskan and a new notebook to help her with her studies D.P.

It SliT'SlshoS set the pace along the alley Chicken Before The Egg? The old "chicken before the egg" dilemma has a new twist today: Should young American men go to college before, or after, they serve their stint in the armed forces? Lawmakers have tended to give the student every chance to finish school first. In some cases, of course, a heavy quota has forced a lo cal board to call a man away from college, but nearly every student with a decent scholastic rec ord is allowed to finish school. Yesteryear At MU . By DICK RALSTON Staff Writer Possibly you've heard that there is some de bate going on in the state legislature over the approval of the governor's budget recommenda tions for the University. Twenty years ago there was also some debate over the same subject debate that was to bring forth the largest and blackest headlines of the semester in ' The Nebraskan. Debate that was also, over a period of more than six weeks, to arouse the ire of students, faculty, members of the Board of Regents and many outstate groups So read on dear students , And you shall hear Of the best budget fight In many a year. This means that the decision is really up to the student because he may enlist or request, be ing drafted any time he wishes. The majority of students who have decided to take military service before school have made that decision because they thought that they saw immediate advantages in enlistment. This prob ably wasn't the only factor Influencing their de cisions but it semed to be the most important. 1 . In four installments The story I'll tell you Of legislative battle - That did ensue. To begin with, for those of you who haven't heard: 1833 was a depression year. No one ex- pected the legislature to appropriate more, or even as much, money as it had the previous bi ennium. Governor Bryan recommended a cut of 15 per cent from the previous budget. This was acceptable to University officials, who real ized the situation and had already taken volun tary salary cuts. The legislature then appointed a special com mittee to investigate the University budget, and as such committees are prone to do during poor times, it recommended additional cuts, bringing the total slash to 23 per cent. Needless to say, this recommendation was not well received by University officials. In a supplentary report, the committee also proposed that the maximum salary paid Univer sity officials should be $5,000. This would have left the coaching staff the highest paid faculty members, since their salaries are paid from the athletic fund and not subject to cuts. The proposed cuts would bring the Univer sity appropriation to the lowest since 1913 when there were only 4,627 students enrolled. Enroll ment was over 11,000 in 1933. The stage was set. across data which he kept behind thick steel doors in publications of other services printed by the thousands and available to any one in uniform. The explanation lay not in any subversion but in a necessary compromise between security and getting things done. Many officers and officials prop erly had authority to "classify." And once classified a "subject item" stayed that way within that service brancn until aeciassitiea by the same or higher authority. And, of course, judgments andnisrht-hearted reminicences of the circumstances differed.

A dramatic switch from th can be improved in the direction of tightness and consistency. But security can also be abused. And Marianne Hansen managing director.

Today is the last chance for Ag students to fill for Ag Union ac tivity committee membership. An other Ag Union-sponsored activ ity, however, is still going full blast. The Ag campus photo con test will be open until May 1. The requirements are simple, all undergraduate Ag students may submit photos; pictures must be black and white; the maximum size is 5 x 6 although any size Recreational Facilities Available By KAY NOSKY SUrf Writer As the weather gets warmer, more and more students are filling their leisure hours with swimming and tennis. Most students know that there are tennis courts in back of .the Coliseum and a swimming pool inside the Coliseum, but few of them know at what hours they may take advantage of these fa cilities. The only requirement for swim- 'ming in the pool is a Swimming I Permit which can be obtained from Student Health. The charge for going swimming for girls is ten cents, which includes the use of regulation swimming suits, lockers and checking of valuable articles. Students may not wear their own swimming suit. Students can rent a towel for a five-cent deposit which they will get back when they return the towel. There is no charge for swimming for boys. The hours at which boys may swim are from 4 to 5 p.m. every day, from 11 to 12 a.m. on Tues days and Thursdays and from 9 to 12 a.m. on Saturdays. The only hour open to women for recrea tional swimming is from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays. Although the six tennis courts in back of the Coliseum are open to students most of the week, tennis classes and the University tennis teams have first choice for their use. The courts are reserved for the team on Monday, Wednes day and Friday from 3 to 6 p.m., on Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m. and for practicing on days when matches are set. Students are required to wear regulation tennis shoes while playing tennis. Since only Univer sity students may use the courts, players may be asked to show their identification cards.

Mother's Day r.J. A Really VUrUS Nice Selection Goldenrod Stationey Stort 215 North 14th Street its 0 OPEN TO SENIORS ONLY... There's a letter to all Seniors on its way in the mail now explaining how you can halve at least one item in your future cost of living. It has nothing to do with inflation, nothing to do with taxes but it does point out that a TIME subscription today will cost you just half the price that Old Grads normally pay. The secret, of course, is timing. For today you can still qualify for the Special Student Rate which brings you 52 issues of TIME for less than six cents a copy. But once you have that degree you're fair game for the regular rates. It's an open secret, too, that we'd like to have you as subscribers-now and in the future. And if we make it easy for you now, we think you'll get into the habit of wanting TIME around the house. So if you're going to read TIME anyway (and most college graduates do), why not subtract $3 from the cost of your "news education" and place your order now? All you need do is keep your eyes peeled 'or that letter and return the card enclosed. Or if you'd like to get the jump on the post man, place your order today with your campus TIME representative or the college bookstore. You pay for it later when we bill you -at $3 per year instead of the usual $6. And you don't need a graduate degree in finance to see that this offer makes sense.
