Promoter of the plan is Re gent J. Leroy Welsh of Omaha. He said he wanted the public to know that "we are free from subversive teaching at the Uni versity and that there are no pinks in our midst." Welsh said he would make the award avail able personally. WELSH TOLD the Regents he had taken the idea from an award for good teaching being offered by the University Foun dation. The foundation plans to make a yearly award to the "faculty member who exhibits superior teaching quality." Ruth' Leverton, professor of home economics, was the type of person Welsh proposed the Re gents publicly recognized. He said she had gained "world-wide fame for her studies in nutri tion." Regent B. N. Grenberg of York suggested the board give public recognition to faculty members and students who make outstanding scholastic accomplishments. Wbir Lincoln Paper Acting Chancellor John K. Selleck announced Thursday that the Board of Regents inter viewed Dr. Arthur Weber, dean and director of the School of Agriculture, Kansas State Col lege, as one of several men under consideration for the chancellor ship of the University. Selleck said he made the an nouncement with regret because Dean Weber, a former University staff member, had requested that his interview Wednesday with the Regents be considered a con fidential matter for the time being. "AT THE meeting of the Board of Regents Wednesday morn ing," Selleck said, "I told mem bers of the press that the Board would interview one of the men whose names appear on a rather lengthy list of people it wishes to consult before making any decision on the chancellorship. "I explained that the man coming to Lincoln had requested his visit be unannounced and that we were asking the press to cooperate to the extent of com plying with our visitor's wishes. When I made the announcement, no member of the press objected and none gave indication that New Traffic Rule Affects First Student Twelve ''penalty points", and Nebraska drivers lose their licenses. This is the new ruling for Ne braska highways. The new sys tem, inaugurated last Septem ber, allots a designated number of points for each traffic viola tion. Drivers are allowed up to twelve points over a two-year period. IF A Derson accumulates more than twelve points, his license is" suspended one year. Violations which draw the maximum number of points are drunk driving, wilful or reckless driving and not stopping to give aid in case of an accident. The first University student to feel the effect of the new rul ing was Robert Postma, a sopho more in Teachers College. He was convicted on the charge of driving on a suspended license. The license suspension was the result of the new point system. May Queen Filings To End Saturday Filings for 1954 May Queen will close Saturday.

D except in the language necessities which could be made up for by supple mentary work in statistics and research methods. A Ph. D re quires knowledge of two lan guages. Another difference, is: either a thesis or a field study could be undertaken for the D. Ed., although a bloc of 20 hours would be a requirement for both studies. Field studies are very similar to these the differences are often hard to discern. Regents created a committee Nov. 6, which was to "inquire into the content and procedure of the degree." This group was dissolved at the request of acting Chancellor John K. Selleck at a recent meeting of the Regents in order to provide for what the Chancellor termed "the best in terests of the University." The dissolved committee, ac cording to A. C. Breckenridge, professor of political science and a committee member, was not to find out "if the degree was de sirable or not, but only to in quire into the eontent and pro cedure for obtaining the degree. Since our committee had been formed," he went on to say, "we had been meeting 6teadily and were still in the process of ob taining information when the Chancellor dissolved the com mittee. We had offered no re port and had come to no con clusion when another solution was offered." Acting chancellor John K. Sel leck, whose decision to disolve the committee caused some com ment, stated that one of the rea sons the committee was ap pointed and for the delay of such length was "to see if the degree could be channeled through Graduate College." Selleck said that he always "regrets dissension" and believed Interview Buceiior Ignores Request the request would be disre garded. "After the Board's meeting I went to the Lincoln hotel to meet Dean Weber and bring him to a conference with members of the Board of Regents. It was there I met a Lincoln Journal reporter who told me his editor Lhad sent him to identify the man the Board would interview. I renewed the request I had made at the morning session.

He was asked his opinion on sending South Korean forces to assist in the war against the Communists in Indo China. The ceneral made no direct reply on that point. His only comment was that the United troops militarily. The State Department has not made any immediate reply on the development, however it is unlikely that top American officials would favor sending South Korean troops into the Indo-China war.

Friday, February 12, 1954 Selleck printed an account ol Dean Weber's visit to Lincoln to se the Board of Regents. "I feel the University owes an apology to Dr. Weber and also to the many other press and radio representatives who so courteously cooperated in this effort dictated in the best inter ests of the University. Without doubt this incident will make far more difficult the task the Regents face in attempting to interest men who now hold responsible positions in the Ne braska chancellorship."
