"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

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. X.W.

standing opportunity which you could use
to the betterment of the FnrrersitT, yourself
and a messy football situation in general
The questions are these: Will your athletic
policy be adapted to fit the changed circum
stances in which you now operate? 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.
'Hurtful' Valentine
Tenderly, an unknown Lincoln youth wrote
'l love you honey" to bis girt.
Unf ortunately he chose (to spread Ibis mes
sage i love by snatching the words on (the
trunk lid of Sber car. The result was f 10 is
damage to the car..
A most expensive Valentine!!

Enrollment. This ii e ap

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.
But where does this leave the

There is some attempt by Ag

An Ag Builders public relations

Something is evidently lacking.
What this college needs is a full
