J. W. Ashton
Withdraws
From Race
Because of unwanted publicity
the University has lost one of its
leading prospects for Chancellor
ship, John K. Selleck, acting
Chancellor, announced Tuesday.
Dr. J. W. Ashton, administra
tive vice president of Indiana
University, asked that his name
be withdrawn from considera
tion for the Nebraska position.
SELLECK SAID Dr. Ashton
gave the publicity which followed
his meeting in Chicago with Ne
braska Regents as the reason
for his request.
"This is the most serious result
which has come from the refusal
of the Lincoln Journal newspaper
to permit the Board of Regents
to talk in confidence with men the
Board is seeking to interest in
the University's chancellorship,"
Selleck said.
"The Board of Regents invited
nine educators to meet with it ih
Chicago last weekend after the
Lincoln Journal's editor, Ray
mond A. McConnell, Jr., refused
the University's request for an
onymity sought by men with
whom the Regents wished to con
fer in Lincoln about the chancel
lorship," Selleck said.
"IN CHICAGO." he said, 4,the
Regents and I made an effort to
protect the men invited for pre
liminary 'discussions. We were
told by newsmen there that the
Lincoln Journal had requested
coverage of our talks. We gave no
interviews and authorized no
statements.
"We were, of course, disap
pointed to learn tha&Jhe Lincoln
Journal would publish from key
hole sources an account of a part
of the discussion with Dr. Ash
ton. The Journal has caused a
very fine man and highly quali
fied educator to decide he has no
interest in heading the University
of Nebraska."
Beggs Says 'Extremely Fortunate;'
Ex-Coach To Take Command Apr. 15
Bill Orwig, Uninversity of Mich
igan backfield and end coach, is
the new Director of Intercollegi
ate Athletics at the University,
Dr. Walter K. Beggs, chairman of
the Board of Intercollegiate Ath
letics, announced Tuesday eve
ning. .
Orwig, 46, whose yearly salary
will be $12,600, will take over
the position April 15. A. J. Lew

ager, has been serving as acting

ployment of a successor for
George "Potsy" Clark, who re
signed effective Jan. 31.
Orwig's salary will be paid by
athletic funds.
IN MAKING the announcement,
Dr. Beggs said: "We are ex
tremely fortunate to secure the
services of Orwig, whose ability
in the education and athletic
fields is respected throughout the
country.
"Orwig receieved high praise
from Big Ten athletic directors
whom the Nebraska Athletic
Board contacted in determining
the advisability of hiring him."
Dr. Beggs said that Orwig's ap
pointment received the full ap
proval of the Board of Regents.
ACTING Chancellor John K.
Selleck said: "I believe that the
University will benefit greatly
from having a man of Or
wig's caliber. He is a young man
and I know will be able to grow
with the athletic program here.
He has a proven record in both
the education and coaching fields,
and also valuable experience at
Michigan Unniversity in public
relations with alumni and in aid
ing ' with that Uninversity's
grant-in-aid program."

Operation Alert
WASHINGTON Operation Alert will be put into practice on
June 14 and 15. At this time a nationwide civil defense .exercise,
featuring mock atomic attacks on 42 selected critical target areas
will be held throughout the United States and surrounding terri
tories. It is designed to disclose Weaknesses and improve efficiency
of civil defense organizations at all levels and will involve all
48 states, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Alaska and the 10 provinces of
Canada.
For the purposes of the test, it will be assumed that the
United States and Alaska will be attacked by aircraft carrying
atomic weapons. Also it will be supposed that guided missiles
with atomic warheads will be launched from submarines off the
coasts of Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Plans are in the making for
quick movement of essential government agencies to safe areas
in the event of an enemy attack on Washington by the Office of
Defense Mobilization.
Dulles Pledges Indo-China Aid
WASHINGTON The United States will respond rapidly to
any new French requests for additional military supplies needed to
defeat Communist forces in Indo-China, Secretary of State Dulles
said. Dulles said that he does not believe Indo-China, a highly
strategic southeast Asia area, will fall under Communist domina
tion. The Secretary added that the U. S. government still supports
the Navarre plan despite recent increased Red attacks in the area.
international relations" was the
expressed purpose of - the
NUCWA meeting Tuesday.
Five students who were either
foreign students from the coun
tries, being discussed or who had
taken tours of the various Eu
ropean countries, talked about
points of interest and the cul
tural backgrounds of their re
spective countries.
SPEAKERS WERE Bridget
Watson and Nita Helmsteader,
France; Hans Steffan and Harry
Wray, Germany; Diego Serge,
Italy, and Trygg Engen, the
Scandinavian countries.
Miss Watson was born in Paris
and spent most of her childhood
in the South of France.
"Paris," she said, "is usually
the most interesting part of
France to the tourist. Tourists
always think of Paris in terms of
night life, but they usually miss
the small cafes along the Left
Bank. More tourists should visit
them because they offer a view
of the real Paris."
MISS HELMSTADER, who
visited France on a European
tour last year added some com
ments from the tourist's point of
view. One of the things which
she said amazed her were the
scanty bathing suits seen on the
Riveria,
On the language problem she
admitted that she did have some
difficulty but that most people
in France were very friendly and
helpful.
Hans Steffan presented the
group with a suggested itinery of
places and cities to visit in his
native Germany. Using Ham
burg as a starting point he pro
ceded on a hypothetical journey
south to Hanover where he used
to live.
He particularly recommended
the youth hostels where mem
bers can spend the night for 10
cents. In a humorous vein, he
commented that it is very easy
to hitch-hike in Germany just
carry an American flag.
Diego Segre presented several
facts about the government of
his native country, Italy. At
present, he said, the government
is rather unstable. It. is demo
cratic in form, however, having
a representative bicameral legis
lature. THE SCANDINAVIAN coun
tries were discussed by Trygg
Enden, from Norway. He recom
mended spending most of a tour
ist's time in the largest cities,
Stockholm, Oslo and Copen
hagen. These, he said, are the
cultural centers and offer the
most for the tourist
professional journalism society;
Kappa Tau Alpha, journalism
scholarship honorary; Phi Beta
Kappa, scholastic honorary; In
nocents, and Kappa Sigma.
The award, established in 1942
by the Cooper Foundation, was
originally 5500 but was increased
in 1953 to $1,000.
Previous winners of the grant
are: 1941, Patricia Chamberlain
and Marjorie Mengshol, who took
their advanced work at Colum
bia and Northwestern, respec
tively; 1946, Marthella Holcomb,
Radcliffe and Robert Lienert,
Northwestern.
IN 1947 winners and their
schools of advanced study were
Neale Copple, Northwestern and
Marrella Slajchert, University of
Prague; 1948, George Miller, Ne
braska; 1949, Jack Botts, North
western; 1950, Leo Geier, Ne
braska, and 1951, Tom Rische,
UCLA.
The scholarship was not award
ed m 1952 and in 1953 the un
used 1952 scholarship and the
1953 award were both granted.
Recipients were Joan Krueger
and Norris Heineman. Miss Krue
ger was given the $500 grant and
Heineman received the $1,000
award.
Miss Krueger studied in Paris
while Heineman attended Syra
cuse university in Syracuse,
