The Outside World By WILLIE DESCH Stff Writer New Farm Program Announced WASHINGTON The new farm program "under the Eisen hower administration would count present big surpluses of cotton, wheat and corn in fashioning future production control program for these commodities. Points of the program were announced in n analysis prepared for a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing. The provision for a variable price support formula under which prices for basic crops would be high in times of shortages to encourage production tnd low in times of surplus to encourage consumption is the main point of controversy. This : plan would replace a present system of rigid, high-level supports which expires Hi the end of the year.

They were: Sally Hall, editor of the Nebraskan; Bill Glassford, head football coach, and Daniel Bernd, University alum and former athlete. The group discussed the possi bility that athletic recruits from other states be excluded from the University, and that other states be encouraged to do the same. DEFENDING the present policy of recruiting out-of-state athletes, Glassford asserted that "we must have something to at tract people to the University." We must decide on what basis we wish to compete with other universities, he said. Glassford added that "just be cause a boy has athletic ability" is no reason why he should be barred from the University. Miss Hall suggested then that other colleges, such as journal ism and home economics, should also go to other states to recruit students. We must decide whether the purpose of the Upiversity is to provide education or public en tertainment, Miss Hall empha sized. BERND SAID that the attitude is wrong when "money is not paid out for developing leaders, but for providing a . winning team , . . in our University. He went on to say that the term "scholarships" is "wildly inap propriate" when used to refer to American Association of Uni versity Professors, both "happy and proud." He discussed "Academic Free dom" at the YM-YWCA annual banquet held in the Union Thursday evening. Beutel pointed out that aca demic freedom was largely a matter of "public relations" be tween three groups of people, "faculty and students, the public and educational administrators." He said, "Professors should have the right to say anything they desire, with the exceptions of libel, propaganda and limits of moral decency." "ACADEMIC FREEDOM," Beutel said, "involves the right of a professor to say whatever he pleases and the right of the student to hear whatever he wants to hear." Because of a difficulty in de fining truth, Beutel said, "it is the important duty of the pro fessor to aee that the fects are given impartially." A professor will be guaranteed academic tenure if he is "competent and fair in his teachings," he said. The right to be "judged by his peers" is a right that shoul.1 be given instructors if their ability to present the truth is ques tioned, Beutel added. Trouble from the public comes from ex-officio censors and self appointed patriots, Beutel stated. He defined ex-officio censors as mainly "senators and editors, KK Show Tryouts Friday from 7 to 9 p.m. the last tryouts for "Finian's Rain bow," Kosmet Klub Spring Show will be held in the Union Ball room.

Young Democrats Elect Don Searcy President Eisenhower Criticized By Meadows Don Searcy was elected presi dent of the newly organized Uni versity chapter of Young Demo crats Wednesday. More than 60 University students attended the meeting. Searcy is a junior in Teacher's College. Other officers are San dra Daley, vice president; Con nie Gordon, secretary; Marshall Kushner, treasurer, and Don Wa r.ek, historian. Ed De Mar and Bob Spearman were named executive officers. DE MAR received a telegram from former President Harry S. Truman which read: "Congratu lations on the organization of a Young Democratic Club at the University of Nebraska. Best of luck." The club is operating tenta tively under the October, 1951, constitution, which was approved at that time, by the Student Council. Speaker for the meeting was Dr. Paul Meadows, professor of sociology, and former secretary of the Young Democrats of Lan caster County. Meadows empha sized the gap between "Eisen hower promise and Eisenhower Qgenfs Co who are authorities on all sub jects." "Self-appointed patriots," Beutel said, "are taxpayers who can hire and fire professors be cause they pay taxes." He cited the recent athletic situation at an example. CIVILIZATION has flourished in areas of academic freedom, while examples of intolerance have ruined civilization, Beutel said. Some authorities, he said, have compared the decline of academic freedom in the U.S. to "beginning of Naziism." Beutel gave examples of uni versity administrators who failed to "protect their faculty," stating that many times where teachers were under attack, administra tors had run for cover. 'Hasty Heart1 Preparation Max Whlttaker, director "Hasty Heart" 'right), and Olenna Berry deft) help Jack rarris into his costume for Committee Named To Devise Substitute The Student Council voted Wed nesday to disapprove the pro posed constitution of the All Class Council and appointed a committee to work with class offi cers in preparing a workable con stitution. The constitution would enlarge the class council to include four officers of each of the four classes and would require that two wom en be elected for each class. ELDON PARK, chairman of the judiciary committee, termed the constitution unworkable because the purpose of the class council was vague and the means for carrying out the purpose were in adequate. Present at the meeting were Ted James, president of the senior class; Jim Collins, vice president of the senior class; Bill De Vries, vice president of the junior class, and Ellsworth Du Teau, president of the University Alumni Association. The class officers defined the purpose of the council as being to increase loyalty to the University through encouraging class spirit. Park pointed out that the Uni versity was too diversified and de partmentalized to form an effec tive organization based on classes He said that loyalty to the Unt versity could best- be obtained by strengthening and uniting loyalty within the colleges. MARV STROMER, member of the Council and junior class presi dent, moved that a committee of three be appointed to work with class officers in forming a con stitution that would be approved Ag Men's Club Plans Smoker For Monday A smoker will be held by the Ag Men's Club Monday, at 8 p.m. in the Ag Union. Muo Sonderup, Ag Men's social chairman, has announced that slides will be shown by Anis Bahravi and Pete Aliabadi, All men interested in the organization are invited to at tend. performance. MEADOWS ALSO said, "There are too many gumshoe artists of opportunistic compro mise within the party Eisen hower, who supported TVA dur ing the campaign, now refers to it as 'creeping socialism.' " The growing disunity of the Kepublican party and the nation was emphasized by Meadows. "Eisenhower's commanding per sonal prestige won the Republi can victory," Meadows said. Don Knutzen, state chairman or the Young Democrats, in formed the group of clubs al ready set up in other colleges in Nebraska. He expressed a de sire to set up an Inter-varsity Council to meet periodically so that the colleges could work to gether. SEARCY NAMED the follow ing committee chairmen: Ed De Mar, publicity; Phyllis Kort, rally; Tom Henderson, member ship, and Don Dworak, consti tutional. The next meeting will be held Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in Un ion Room 313. Beutel said he believes the "world to be on the edge of de struction, since physical science has outrun political science." The University needs more radi cals on the faculty to stir up student discussion, he added. In conclusion, Beutel com mended the Nebraska Board of Regents' declaration of academic freedom in support of professor Clyde Mitchell. He mentioned a recent article in the "Saturday Evening Post" concerning the Regents' stand. Annual reports of the YMCA and YWCA, campus divisions, were given before the speech and new officers were presented. Jack Rogers, YMCA vice-president, acted as toastmaster. of Wednesday night's perform- ance. Miss Berry plays the part of a nurse in a wartime hospi- tal and Parrii takes the part of mmended by the Council. The committee is to report by March 31.
