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

know the right parallel to draw.
These are small things and not what we should
remember about a man as great, as Dr, Werk

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

Military And Or Economic?
A French journalist criticized American for- East and West, since "the .Russians have nothing

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.

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.

Schreiber's remarks came at a crucial moment our government's foreign affairs men that a strong

for the Department of State is undoubtedly for

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

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.

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.

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.

of other services printed by the

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.

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.

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.
