Tuesday, February 2, I Page 2 EDITORIAL PAGE Open ieffer To Bill "There is oo short cut to greatness in any field, be it business, education or football "Greatness in any field is acquired through years of self discipline, study and sacrifice it is not inherited or bought" This, Mr. Glassford, is your challenge. The above paragraphs are your words in an article for the Nebraska Alumnus. - Your position is unique in easy-come, easier-go football coach history. You did not go. About 49 football players, their parents. The Nebraskan, many students and Nebraska citizens did not want to see you back second r. semester. The Xebra.sk.an will bear no rrudce we wish yon welL We would like to ask some questions, however, and point out an out- New Interest For the fourth time in 31 years and for the first time since 1950, mid-year graduation exercises were held at the University. Action taken by the Faculty Senate made the exercises possible by setting aside a day, which would otherwise have been used as part of the two day "refresher" period before final examinations. University administrative officials said the mid-year graduation exercises are to be con ducted on a regular basis in the future. The Senate's action and the administra tion's attitude are indications of a renewed awareness and interest in mid-year grad- ' nates. It is commendable that both agencies considered it important that University grad uates received the honors due them after completing the requirements for a degree Also, student attitudes toward the gradu ation show healthy signs of interest and a desire for good things for their fellows. There were no loud complaints against the Faculty Senate's action, and under-graduates, on the whole, showed a real interest in the comparatively small number of students who were leaving the University community. Commencement exercises held in June will always be more of a spectacle than the mid year graduation exercises. More students re ceive degrees, even the weather seems to '. lavor the pageantry of the time. - Big name speakers are engaged for the June event; the entire state takes notice when - the graduates receive their sheepskins. How ever, the June event should not be grand at the expense of the smaller, though equally important, January graduation. Mid-year graduates bare completed their requirements as fully as their summer-time counterparts. They deserve to leave their University knowing their graduation marked m much a mile-stone as any other graduating , class. The University faculty and administration are to be commended on their action, T.W. Brighter Picture For many years, so called experts have de voted great amounts of time and perhaps even more effort to depicting a dark, .gloomy - future for the "depression" generations of the ' early 1S3W&. However, University graduates of !1B54 "have received some sound, concrete encouragement showing these dark pictures of the future were nothing more than guesses and not very accurate ones at that. "." According to Eichard M. Bourne, assistant - professor of labor relations at the University, .seniors yaduating in 3.854 .and 1855 wjU be io demand for both technical and non-techni-- cal jobs. Bourne's statements, based on facts .gleaned from employment surveys, give real hope for a generation that has received more dire, gloomy predictions than almost any other in the history of .our country. Even the "depression babies" of 1833. have been offered encouragement for their futures. A recent article an "life" Magazine pointed out that the reduced dumber of children born during the year 1833 has made people of the 20-21 year age group in demand simply be cause they are comparatively few in number. "HfeV story noted a happy fact incomes for the depression babies should be higher than anticipated, and Bourne's statement pointed out that the average pay for the 1854 graduates will be scaled from $300-1325 per month, although some salaries will vary greatly above this amount and some fall be low. Another survey showed salaries have risen from $15-$20 per month last year. Dire predictions seem to have been incor rect, to say the least so far as income and job opportunities for ooHege graduates bora In the 1830's are .concerned, the outlook has cfhanged from the jet-black prophesized by xnany. For the most part, these recent facts are nly statements f, "Something J already Jjaew" for many young persons. Most (uni versity students have felt all along they weren't destined to a horrible fate as apple sellers and .criminal mobsters. "We can aH take an .object lesson from this realization. "We ran 'toe sure we don't bore and "' ifcire generations yet to oome with our gloomy pictures which imply jrust don"t "".come to pass.

How will you handle the petition signers? What will the scholarship program be; will scholarships re main in effect as long as a player stays out for football? Will you be able to cope with returning and new players? If these questions sound vague it is because they are not slanted to contain the answers. These can only come from you and in time. The opportunity is one about which you wrote the article. Your response to it will be contained in the answers you give to the above questions. Ton survived a trial by the public. Tour name is known from coast to coast The Xe braskan has received letters from alumni in many parte of the United States. Newspapers the country ever have written about the "Glassford case." You thus have more publicity, much of it good, than any Nebraska football coach has received in a lifetime. This publicity makes it more apparent that you have a chance for overwhelming success or failure. Success could also be made greatness if fair dealing with the situation is coupled with honest evaluation of the charges brought and capable handling of the personalities and problems involved. To achieve greatness now will, in your words, require "self discipline, study and sac rifice." S.H. What Cost Gain? An important appointment has been made at the University. J. J- Lewandowski ' has been named temporary Athletic Director. The Nebraskan is quick to hail the new "chief." to wish him well in bis job and quick to agree the job has been placed in competent hands. But there is one fact that nags at the mind of this writer. A good man has re placed another good man. George "Fotsy" Clark is gone after many years of service to the University. How many students remember the usually smiling, but then hard-faced little man who stood before them in front of the Union after the football team returned from a defeat and gave a speech that left everyone a little breathless? How many students have mem ories of the little man who seemed to worry more about their University than they did themselves? How many students remember that same little man who always had iime if they wanted to talk to him? It seems a pity to lose a man who has been "necessary" to the University for such a long time. As the song says. "A Good Man Nowadays Is Hard To Find," and to replace one good man with another from mlthin any organization is a hard knock for that organ ization whether it be a university or busi ness firm. We are sorry to see "Potsy" leave, because be did not want to be the center of a "con troversy," yet we can not help admiring lis backbone for vacating his position rather than compromising his ideals. However, we feel his character and position could have with stood a great deal of controversy no matter what the source. We wish you the best, "Potts'" and hope some other (organization gains as much from your efforts and abilities as the Universiir f Nebraska has. T.W. Margin Notes Temporary Tradition The University appears to be establishing a tradition of sorts. Maybe it's a reflection of the troubled times, but around the .cam pus the all-inclusive word is temporary. Acting Chancellor Selleck was appointed temporarily until a new Chancellor could fcbe found. His temporary reign has lasted a whole semester, and promises to extend for some time to come. Another temporary official was recently named. A. J. Lewandowski was appointed Saturday to fill in the post vacated 'by '"Potsy" Clark, until a permanent Athletic Director is appointed. The familiar temporary buildings have been around for several years now. For instance, the building housing Student Health is only temporary, until some .dim future date when a new institution can be erected. In fact, even the students are temporary.

Student Forum Enrollment. This ii e ap proximate numoer oi reentered for second semester at Ag college here in the Lm versity the only one of Us tma in the state of Nebraska. This cumber includes about 5.0 male students and 290 home eco nomics students. It seems to be a small representation maeea. for a state which depends upon agriculture for its major source of income. . , This brings the question why. Are. these all the students inter ested in agriculture or who might come to Ag college if they were informed about the courses offered here? Are high school students, who are contemplating furthering their education, fully aware of the cur riculum and any other advan tages of all the schools they are considering attending? Many of the smaller stale colleges have extensive publicity systems that concentrate on getting students in their locality to attend their school. But what about the student re cruitment program for the Col lege of Agriculture? What pro gram does it have for inform ing prospective students about the merits and advantages of at tending Ag college? , Actually, it has no specific pro gram with this purpose in mind. Land grant colleges are divided into three fields of work instruc tion, research and extension. The Agricultural Extension service has as its main job the applica tion of research results. County agents and home demonstration agents are a part of this pro gram, as well as 4-H and Rural Youth activities. Under the present system, the Ag college public relations office, although greatly understaffed, does a thorough job of dissemin ating information about research and extension work to the people of Nebraska.

The part that Nebraska pearj. would be interested in jf jj plan to send their children to cj. lege. This part of the public re. lations scheme seems to be sadly neglected, and to this writer poses to be one of the largest real sons why the College of Agricul ture is not as well represented as it could be. , There is some attempt by Ag college to bring its name before the eyes of prospective students. An Ag Builders public relations committee is planning personal contacts with high school students in the Lincoln area. But they ara rot nearly large enough to do a thorough job. Something is evidently lacking. What this college needs is a full time or at least a part-tuns member of the public relations department to correlate the activ ities c University Builders and Junior Division with an aggres sive public relations program. A program that would be responsi ble for keeping prospective col lege students informed about tbt College of Agriculture. This would be a very largo task. But it would be well worti the time and expense if it could produce anv measurable result. DALE BETXOLDS. University Bulletin Board TUESDAT Cob Meeting, Corn S p.m.. Union.
