bruised hand, which was hurt in
an attempt to defend himself.
Ford said that the men must
have attacked him with the in

Pakistan Requests US Aid
KARACHI, PAKISTAN Pakistan has requested United States
military aid within the scope of U.S. mutual security legislation,
Prime Minister Mohammed Ali said. Pakistan asked for aid In
order to increase their defensive strength and economic stability
which is designed to foster international peace and security within
the framework of the United Nations charter. Pakistan' is aware
of the requirements of the United States mutual security legisla
tion and feels that they are in agreement with them, the Prime
Minister said.
India is opposed to U.S. military aid for Pakistan. Prime Min
ister Nehru said that instead of adding to the security of the region,
the military aid would add to the tension of the region and feel
ings of insecurity in Asia. "It is a wrong step," Nehru said.
A-Bombs To China
LONDON "China get A-bombs from Russia" is the front page
headline of the current issue of The People, a non-political weekly
which claims that Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov gave this
information to American Secretary of State Dulles during private
conversation in Berlin. A British newspaper had informed the
U.S. that Communist China has been given a stock of atom bombs.
The newspaper said that Molotov's purpose was to prove that
China has every right to participate in the talks on the Eisen
hower plan for using atornic power for peaceful purposes. The
article continued to say that Western military experts are believed
to be impressed because this gift by Russia may be evidence that
the Soviet's stockpile of atomic bombs has grown to sizable pro
portions. Big Four Report
WASHINGTON Eight senators and seven House members
met with Secretary of State Dulles in an attempt to convince the
nation that he obained the best possible results from the Big
Four meeting in Berlin. Dulles made a report to the group on his
conference decision to take part in an Asian peace conference , in
Geneva with Communist Chinese and Russian delegates.
The Geneva conference with Red China does not imply
American recognition of Peiping, Raid Sen. Homer Ferguson (R
Mich). Most of the conference members refused comment on the
meeting.

Reasons For Establishment Of New
Chancellorship Interviews Explained
The University Board of Reg
ents unanimously adopted a pol
icy of withholding names of men
under consideration for chancel
lorship during preliminary dis
cussion. The statement was adopted in
executive session Sunday with all
members present except J. L.
Welsh of Omaha.
THE ACTION was taken as a
result of a story in The Lincoln
Journal giving the name of a
candidate who was interviewed
for the chancellorship March 10,
after the University had re
quested that the name not be
published.
The University then released
the names of two men who were
interviewed Saturday, stating
that the University felt compelled
to make the names public im
mediately. The statement of the Regents
is:
"IT IS the considered opinion
of the Board of Regents that the
best interests of the University
are not and will not be served by
announcing at the time of pre
liminary discussions the names
of men under consideration, for
the chancellorship.
The Board, therefore, will not
authorize any further release of
such names until, in its opinion,
of her baby picture (right), and
was presented at the dance on
a baby-sized wagon.

of the geology section of the ex
pedition. He has taught at the Univer
sity of Kansas, Harvard and
Wellesley College. He is editor of
several geological journals, has
written numerous scientific ar
ticles and reviews and has edited

In 1943-44 Dr. Croneis served
as consultant to the National De
fense Research Commission. He
is a member of the National
Council of Boy Scouts. Dr. Cron

ciety of Economists, Paleontolo

Low ROTC
Of $46,588
Dorm Equipment
Board of Regents recom
mended Sunday that the contract
for construction of the ROTC
Armory be awarded to the
George Cook Construction Co. of
Lincoln.
The Armory will house offi
cers, instructors and equipment
for 'artillery units which train
on campus, as well as Navy and
air science department equip
ment. It will be constructed on
Ag College campus, adjacent to
and directly east of the new
General John J. Pershing Arm
ory. COOK'S BID of $46,588 was
the lowest of 11 submitted.
Regents also accepted Pegler
and Co. of Lincoln's low bid of
$79,628.10 for kitchen equipment
needed for the men's dormitories
now under construction on city
campus. It was the lowest of six
bids submitted. The original es
timate for the equipment was
$10,000.-
A resolution to the Regents
from the Nebraska Reclamation
Association said in part, "We ex
press our sincere gratitude to the
Board of Regents, Acting Chan
cellor John K. Selleck and mem
bers of the University staff for
their constructive efforts i n
bringing the labor of the re
search agencies of the University
to bear more directly on the
day-to-day problems of Ne
braska agriculture . . ."
MEMBERS AUTHORIZED the
president to sign a notice of can
cellation of the lease of the ten
ants in the Earl Wood Building
which the University recently
'
such release will not be against
the best interests of the Univer
sity. THIS DECISION was reached
with full appreciation of the pub
lic character of the Board of
Regents and in no way alters
the Board's own belief that its
final actions are matters of pub
lic record, deserving the widest
possible dissemination by the
press, radio, and television.
THE DECISION was deemed
necessary to settle a question
raised by The Lincoln Journal.
The basic question was, Does the
responsibility the Board of Re
gents has to keep the public in
formed of its actions, both pre
liminary and final, outweigh the
Board's right to solve problems
in a manner it deems in the
best interests of the University?
THE LINCOLN Journal raised
this question when it refused to
abide by a request for anonymity
the Board made on behalf of one
of the men invited to Nebraska
for preliminary talks about the
chancellorship.
The question, the Board felt,
was of sufficent importance to
merit a formal decision. It was
a question involving the concept
of authority and responsibility
under which the Boards of Reg
ents have operated traditionally
in Nebraska.
IN CONSIDERING this ques
tion, the Board of Regents ac
cepted the following assumptions
as true:
1. Election to the Board of
Regents carries with it a delega
tion of authority from the peo
ple of Nebraska to conduct the
affairs of the University.
2. In seeking and accepting
election to the Board of Regents
its members prove their willing
ness to accept full responsibility
for their official actions.
3. INASMUCH AS the mem
bers of the Board of Regents ac
cept full responsibility for their
actions and decisions, they have
the right and duty to conduct
University business in a man
ner they consider to be ia the

best interests of the institution.
At the same time, the Board
recognized the contention of The
Lincoln Journal as (1) It is the
absolute right of the press to
report publicly both preliminary
and final actions of the Board
of Regents, and (2) The exer
cise and final actions of the
Board of Regents, and (2) The
exercise of such right ultimately
works to the best interests of
the University.
Applied to the current prob
lem of selecting a chancellor for
the University of Nebraska, The
Lincoln Journal's contention
would demand immediate re
lease of the names of all per
sons the Board plans to consult
before reaching a decision.
SUCH A general announce
ment, the Board has ample rea
son to believe, would cause
some men whose names are on
the list to withdraw from con
sideration. All of the men on
the list hold responsible positions
and several of them have al
ready said announcement of
their names during the prelim
inary talks is embarrassing.
None of these men is actively
seeking the chancellorship. They
are educational leadars who
have been recommended for con
sideration by a speciel faculty
committee of the University. The
Board feels that common cour
tesy, orderly procedure, and the
best interests of the University
would be abused by refusal to
respect their wishes for anony
mity during the, preliminary
phases of a search for a chan
cellor. BECAUSE OF this feeling, the
Board cannot agree with the
philosophy advanced by The
Lincoln Journal which would
establish as the first prerequi
site for the University's chancel
lor a willingness to have his
name made public during the
period of preliminary talks.
IT IS the opinion of the Board
that its first duty is to perform
as it deems best the task for
which it was elected; namely, to
serve the best interests of the
University within the framework
provided by Nebraska law.
