Six JW Professors Report
On founding
By ROGER HENKLE
Staff Writer
"We felt it a very unique expe
rience to be participating in the
founding Qf a university in the
twentieth century," said A. T. An
derson, associate professor of his
tory, upon his return from Turkey
with a committee of six University
faculty members.
The faculty committee had been
sent to Turkey for six weeks in or
der to assist in the establishment
of Ataturk University in eastern
Turkey.
Toured Eastern Tuurkey
The mission of the group was to
tour eastern Turkey, a semi-arid,
agricultural area, and decide on
the best site and best form for the
university. Turkey, which has only
three universities, located in the
larger cities, has been in need of
a university in the eastern section
of the country. The project has
been in consideration since the
1929's, when Kernel Ataturk, then
ruler, first introduced the idea.

The Outside World
By FRED DALY
Staff Writer
Johnson Urges New Section
Senctor Edwin C. Johnson (D-Col) asked Thursday that ttw Senate
add a new section condemning Communism in this country and urging
continued investigation of it to the McCarthy censure resolution.
Johnson said he had planned to speak in favor of the censure
resolution and his proposed addition- but had been told that McCarthy
"is quite ill." McCarthy is under treatment for an injured elbow in
Bethesda (Md.) Naval Hospital. He will be there for at least "a few
more days," the hpspital said.
Johnson said the only rearon that he was offering the new section
was that "I've been somewhat concerned by the reports that the
Communists would be very elated over the passage" of the censure
resolution. ,
'Senate leaders tentatively agreed Thursday to recess the censure
session until Monday or until Senator McCarthy recovers.
Debate Order Questioned
Two United States senators and the American Civil Liberties Union
as well as a college president have strongly opposed the Defense
Department order forbidding cadets or midshipmen from participating
in intercollegiate debates on U.S. recognition of Red China.
The Navy Department added that if a midshipman, argued for
, recognition, even in debate, it would lay him open for misrepresentation
and give the Reds a "propaganda device."
Senators Ellender (D-La) and Dworshak (R-Idaho) said the order
was wrong to deny midshipmen at the Naval Academy the right to
say what they want and that the- order is "too drastic" and "the truth
will not hurt anybody."
The main support for the order holds that students in military
schools such as Annapolis pr West Point are military personnel. The
subject is very touchy from a military view.
Ike Foresees Economic Rise
President Eisenhower told the 30th annual conference of the New
England Council, in a message, that economists forsee a rise of nearly
30 per cent in real per Capita income, after taxes, in the next decade.
, The president's message pointed out population increases of over
30 millions, continued scientific and technological progress, a rise in
real per capita income and an increase in total national output of
nearly 60 per cent over the present rate.
Of University
The Nebraska faculty members
found the, Turks "very hospitable"
people. "We were well received
wherever we went." Anderson said
that the Turks were most anxious
to establish a university. "In
struction in agricultural methods,"
he said, "is very important to this
technically underdeveloped coun
try. "The country knows it is at
least 100 years behind the times,"
he added.
High Illiteracy
The faculty committee felt there
was also a great need for a pri
mary and secondary education in
the area, to correct the high de
gree of illiteracy. They said the
Turks were especially receptive to
the fact that Ataturk University
would include humanities and so
cial sciences departments as well
as agriculture.
The faculty group, which in
cluded E. L. Lambert, dean of the
Agricultural College; Dr. K. O.
Broady, director of Extension Di
vision; Dr. Anderson; Dr. Roy
Green, dean of the College of En
gineering; Dr. Carl Olson, Jr.,
chairman of department of animal
pathology; and Dr. ISlvin F. Fro
lik, chairman of the agronomy de
partment, spent a total of six
weeks in Turkey. They conferred
with the ministers of education
and agriculture, as well as the
prime minister.
New Development
The report recommended the es
tablishment of a university pat
terned greatly after American
land-grant colleges. That is why
University faculty members were
selected, and Dean Lambert de
clared that Nebraska will send
three men early next year to as
sist in further plans for the pro
posed university. In addition, the
University will "make available
technical advice for building the
new university from the ground
up," Lambert said.
The establishment of a univer
sity in Turkey patterned - after
American colleges will be a new
development in the Near East.
Most of the other universities in
the area are patterned after the
European universities, Anderson
said, and so it -will be necessary
to train Instructors in the United
States. He expressed belief that
it will prove to the Turks that the
United States "has some ideas to
offer, rather than just guns and
equipment."
Three Clubs
Plan Saturday
Cosmo Party
The Cosmopolitan Club and De
lian and Palladian Societies will
hold their annual Thanksgiving
party in Rooms 314, 315 and 316
of the Union Saturday at 8 p.m.
The entertainment will include
refreshments, social dancing, ex
hibition dances by club members
and games in a cosmopolitan at
mosphere. "We are particularly inter
ested," said Uve Kapsi, vice pres
ident of the Cosmopolitan Club,
"in making a diversified appeal
to all students on campus, foreign
as' well as American.".
"This appeal," Kapsi continued,
"is the 'reason for the combina
tion of three of the representative
organizations to combine their en
tertainment." There is no admission charge. ,

Dr. Chris L Christensen:

Survival Of Democracy
or
Dr. Chris L. Christensen, Uni

of the University of Wisconsin Ag
ricultural College, told ,a Univer
sity audience Thursday night that
universities are America's means
for survival.
"Without freedom the universi
ties will die and take us with them
to destruction," he said.
In the fifth annual Avery Lec
ture, Dr. Christensen said, "Ter
ror, which today brings travail
upon our universities, shows no
signs of passing. Therefore, we
must gird to protect the freedom
of our universities. Its jeopardy
may not end even in' your life
time." His topic was "The University:
Its Responsibility and Ability to
Preserve the American Way of
Life."
'Misinterpreted'
Dr. Christensen believes a uni
versity should teach all it knows
about communism. "How Can a
boy or girl know why communism
is evil if he doesn't know what it
is? If he had no knowledge upon
which to contrast it with our form
of government?"
"But teaching what communism
is has been misinterpreted by in
sincere politicians and afforded
them a reason for attack ... We

Fred Waring will be greeted by Gov. Crosby, the Union Board of Managers, and
a large group of students upon his arrival at the Union Bus Depot, if plans go as ex
pected. " t
Waring will arrive at 3:30 Sunday and all students are urged to meet him at the
bus station, Shirley Jesse, promotions chairman, said.
Crosby will confer Nebraska's highest honorary title on Waring. The noted band
leader will be made an Admiral in the Nebraska Navy.
'Pleasure Time 1955
Waring and the Pennsylvanians
will present "Pleasure Time
1955" at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the
Coliseum. The show is being spon
sored by the Union. The presenta
tion here is part of a 29-week road
show by Waring and the Pennsyl
vanians and will feature special
electronic innovations by Waring.
The Pennsylvanians began as a
four man group organized by War
ing and his brother Tom in 1916.
Later the group grew to 12 and
was known as "Waring's Twelve
Collegians." In 1927, they were se
lected as the outstanding Ameri
can dance band.
'Most Gratifying' Sound
The Waring group, including the
glee club, first appeared on radio
in 1933 and in 1949, Waring began
his television series. Since then
Waring and the Pennsylvanians
have been touring the United
States and Europe, giving con
certs as well as presenting radio
and television shows.
Both young performers, making
their first nation-wide tour, and
many old favorites from former
glee clubs and orchestras, will ap
pear with the featured soloists in
what Waring himself has called
"the most gratifying sound I've
heard."
Ticket Sales
Ticket sales have been going
very well and some sections are
sold out, but good seats are still
available, according to Lois Sim
merman, ticket chairman. A spe
cial student section has been re
served on the main floor. Tickets
for this section are $1.50.
Prices for other tickets are Main
Floor, $3, $2 and $1 and Balcony,
$1 to $3. Saturday tickets will be

the performance will start at 7:30
p.m.
COA To Sell
MB Orchids
Until Tuesday
Orchids for the Military Ball
may be purchased for a reduced
price by ordering through the Can
didate Officers Assn. at the COA
ticket booth in the Union before
Tuesday.
Small lavender orchids, normally
$5, will be sold for $3. The me
dium or regularly large ones,
which usually range from $7 to
$10, will cost $4. The large or
chids will sell for $4.75 but are
ordinarily $10. White orchids,
ranging normally from $12 to $15,
will cost $6.
Students interested in purchasing
these flowers from a local florist
must specifiy the color of ribbon
upon placing the order at the
booth. A 50-cent increase in price
will go into effect after Tuesday.
One hundred orchids must be
purchased or the special offer will
not be made.
Freedom
must teach our young men and
women not only to accept demo
cracy but to be able logically to
explain and defend it," he said.
- But, he cautioned, academic free
dom is not freedom for the teacher
to turn propagandist and then hide
behind the skirts of a university
for immunity from the conse
quences of his propaganda. "The
teacher turned propagandist is
not only a poor example of the
scientific spirit but is a constant
provoker of attacks on academic
freedom."
'Critical Temper'
"A free university permits chal
lenge, question and debate subject
to no authority but intelligence;
developes in its students a critical
temper, without which they cannot
achieve mental maturity." He
called mental maturity the "abil
ity to think clearly and objectively,
to possess flexibility of mind."
Dr. Christensen said that leaders
must possess mature minds.
"Never has America needed lead
ers as she does today. Only the
free university can develop them.
Furthermore, America's defense
depends upon the laboratories of
the universities. Without them we
shall be prey of our enemies.'
He told that universities were
founded to make better human

"Nebraska's football trip to Ha

University of Hawaii will cost the
University athletic department a
minimum of $30,000, Athletic Di
rector Bill Orwig said.
Transportation for the party of

Hardy To Explain
Science Feature
Tickets are now on sale at the
Union main office for the science
lecture, "The World We Live In,"
to be presented at the Nebraska
Theater Friday at 8 p.m.
The program consists of colored
films and slides which will inter
pret a science series currently
published in a national maga
zine. David Hardy, a news anal
yst, will explain how magazine
editors put together the story of
the origin of the world.
"The World We Live In" is
sponsored by the Junior League
of Lincoln. Tickets are priced at
$1.25.
Necessary
beings "but now a second reason
has been added. They are our
means for survival.
Introduced by Hardin
In conclusion, Dr. Christensen
said, "Every day greater pressures
will be brought upon universities
to mould them to a pattern. There
are two major systems of political
control now functioning in the
world, communism and demo
cracy. If democracy permits its
demogogues to effect such intol
erance in its institutions then we
can blow out the light and fight
it out in the dark . . . when the
cry of intelligence is silenced the
sirens of warning will sound in
vain." '
The lecturer was introduced by
Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin,
who served on the University of
Wisconsin faculty during Dr. Chris
tensen's tenure.
The Avery Lectureship is fin
anced by a fund established in
the University of Nebraska Foun
dation by the Palladian Alumni
Association, a literary society.
The lectureship, which brings to
th ' campus noted lecturers to
spoek on subjects of general im
portance to society, was estab
lished to honor the memory of
former Chancellor Sampel Avery.

trip.
The game was scheduled three
years ago by Potsy Clark, ath
letic director at that time, on a
home-and-home basis. Nebraska's
schedule will open with Hawaii at
Lincoln next fall.
'Favor To Players
A. J. Lewandowski, Business
Manager of Athletics, said the
game was probably slated by Clark
as an extra favor to the players
themselves.
Hawaii is not connected with
any conference on the continental
United States and usually plays
service teams and smaller col
leges on the West Coast.
The cost of sending the team to
Hawaii will be borne entirely by
the Athletic Fund, Orwig said. Ha
waii has given the University an
option of accepting a flat $5,000
guarantee or taking 50 per cent
of the net gate.
Stadium Holds Only 25,000
Orwig said the University will
probably accept the $5,000 guaran
tee, as half the net gate is not
likely to reach that figure. The
stadium at the University of Ha
waii will hold only 25,000 persons.
Unless Nebraska is a decided Or
ange Bowl participant, the game
should not bring enough spectators
to fill the Hawaiian stadium, he
said.
A $5,000 return from the Univer
sity of Hawaii would bring the es
timated minimum cost of the trip
to $25,000.
Other intersectional games on
the 1955 schedule include Ohio
State at Columbus, Texas A & M
at Lincoln and Pittsburgh at Pitts
burgh. The 1956 slate shows games out
of the conference with South Da
kota in Lincoln, Ohio State at Co
lumbus, Indiana in Lincoln and
Baylor in Lincoln. Hawaii has
been scheduled only for the two
game series.
Chartered Plane
The team will leave Tuesday by
chartered plane for Los Angeles
where they will spend the night
in the Hollywood Plaza Hotel. Wed
nesday they leave for Hawaii by
regularly scheduled flights.
The team will work out Wednes
day evening and make their head
quarters at the Edgewater Hotel.
Thursday they will attend a high
school game and have Thanksgiv
ing dinner at the hotel.
After the ga.rae Friday the team
will stay in Hawaii until 9:45 p.m.
Tuesday. They will arrive in San
Francisco Wednesday morning,
Dec. 1, and in Lincoln at 7 p.m.
