Spring Poll Results:
AUF Selects Five
To Receive Charity
Cancer, cerebral palsy, World
University Service, Lincoln Com
munity Chest and the Lancaster
Association for Retarded Children
will be the charities supported by
All University Fund in the 1956
fall drive.
The five charities were selected
by AUF on the basis of the spring
poll taken of University "students
and faculty.
Funds collected in the drive will
be divided among the charities
with the American Cancer Society,
the National Association for Ce
rebral Palsy and the Lincoln Com
munity Chest receiving 20 per cent.
World University Service will re
ceive 25 per cent of the collec
tions, and ten per cent will go to
LARC School.
These charities represent one
international organization, two na
tional organizations and two lo
cal organizations.
The international charity organi
sation, WUS, receives all its con
tributions from colleges and uni
versities. The funds are used to
purchase and build facilities for
needy students.
This includes the purchase of food
and clothing for students all over
the world and the building of med
ical centers in poverty-stricken
countries.
Cancer and cerebral palsy, na
tional organizations, are dedicated
to research and education concern
ing the two diseases. The money
contributed to these two organi
zations will be used first as needed
in Nebraska.
LARC School, one of the local
charity organizations, is in its sec
ond year of service. In this school
retarded children are taught and
prepared within their limitations
for life in society. The school at
present has an enrollment of 29
children and has four teachers.
Mothers of the children help with
the school's program.
The school will be moved to dif
ferent location as soon as funds are
available. Its only sources of funds
are AUF, individual contributions
and an annual drive held in Lincoln

When America looks at its high
er education today, it can see a
peculiar puzzle, a noted American
social scientist told a University
audience Monday evening.
The scientist, Dr. David Ries
man, Jr., University of Chicago
staff member and author of a
widely read book, "The Lonely
Crowd," said higher' education is
paradoxical now because it is per
forming better than ever before but
at the same time people expect
less from it in the way of notable
cultural improvement.
Dr. Riesman is on the campus
to give a series of three lectures
on the topic, "Education and
Countervailing Power." The two
remaining lectures will be given
at 8 p.m. Wednesday and Friday
in Love Library Auditorium.
Dr. Riesman . said that colleges
may be in a situation similar to
that of the churches: "better at

By WALT SWITZER
Nebraskaii Reporter
Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. Monday put before Con
gress a general civil rights program with the endorsement of the White
House. The program calls for a new civil rights division in the Justice
Department to handle the anticipated litigation on the ban of race eg-
gregation in the schools. ...... ,
Brownell also called for the creation of a civil rights commission
that would have the power to investigate denials of voting rights be
cause of race, creed or color.
Hostilities Continue
While U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold was flying to the
Middle East, hostilities continued in the Gaza strip area there. Egypt
accused Israel of sending foot soldiers into their territory and of lining
armored cars along the truce line.
Ike Favors Increase
In action Monday President Eisenhower asked Congress for a
half-million dollar increase in the-defense appropriations. Much of the
total is tabbed for the Air Force. It is to provide speeding up of pro
duction of long-range B-52's. .... vm
Eisenhower also asked Congress to return the pending farm bill
to the House conference committee for revision.
In a formal statement by House GOP Leader Joseph Martin, Ei
senhower was- quoted as saying the present measure "does not meet
the test of a good bill." '
Court Rules
In the case of Dr. Harry Slochower, associate professor of German
at Brooklyn University, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that a professor'
resort to the Fifth Amendment is not in itself a firing offense. Dr.
Slochower was dismissed after failing to answer questions on his mem
bership in the Communist party in 1940 and 1941.
March Investigated
Staff Sgt. Matthew McKeon, 31, Worchester, Mass, is being held
In custody following a forced march in which five Marines died. An
inquiry is being held to determine facts surrounding their deaths and
the march which Sgt. McKeon headed to punish the Marines for uniden

The other local organization to

each reform cycle in the Midwest.
"There are two distinct Mid
wests," he explained. "Thef is the
older agricultural Midwest, with
its scattered farms and villages,
and the newer, but now much
larger, industrial Midwest of grow

However, Dr. Riesman said, in

Concerning mass education Dr.
Riesman saw, "While college ed

America, there is also a counter
tendency in which the unprece

manded a college degree have not

Delegates
Learn Role
Of College
Students are removed from the
real issues on the campus because
of procedures which are out-of-date
and unchanged, Dr. Lester
Smith, Dean of Students at Wash
burn University, Topeka, Kan. told
delegates including several from
the University at the Spring Dis
trict Conference of the Nebraska
YMCA and YWCA, held at Wayne
April 6, 7 and 8.
"The administrators give stu
dents roles to play house with. They
define duties, roles and structures
of campus affairs, and do not
change them, in this way contribut
ing to the apathy on our cam
puses," Dr. Smith said.
Speaking to an audience of near
ly 100 delegates, representing five
Nebraska colleges, including both
the city and Ag campuses of the
University, Dr. Smith spoke of
the prevalence of student apathy,
and the effectiveness of groups
and individual leaders on college
campuses.
"The apathetic, immature, ir
responsible attitude of students on
all our campuses depends on the
role they are permitted to play.
I think students can be vital and
constructive on campus if they are
given a chance to fuse and share
ideas," he said.
Dr. Smith asserted that although
competition is a great part of a
democratic and- free enterprize,
leadership is defined on many cam
puses as authority which actually
rules out competition.
"Individuals use campus groups
to prove to the world that they are
important, using the theory, 'my
welfare depends on the relative
position of your welfare'," he es
plained. In contrast to his assertion of the
necessity of competition, Dr. Smith
warned against unnecessary com
petition which hazards leadership.
He said, "Let's reduce the need
on our campuses of always being
efficient and right by making our
campuses become laboratories. Our
honorary societies, even our grad
ing systems do a great injustice
by setting up unnecessary competi
tion. By doing so, they weed out
many who could offer much in
the way of leadership roles."

Rapidly increasing enrollments
soon will cause colleges and univer

group at its opening session here
Monday night. Dr. Sorenson, di
rector of summer sessions at the
University, said year-round opera.
tions will be necessary both to
meet the demands of the increas
ing number of students and for
efficient use of teaching facilities.
The summer sessions, he said,
will have to continue to serve two
different groups. These are the
year-round students wishing to has
ten the day of graduation and
the teachers, administrators and
other adult community leaders in
terested in advanced study.
He pointed out that the percent
age of year-round students is in
creasing each year.
Dr. Sorenson said that summer
sessions like that of the Univer
sity also must plan programs to
meet the needs of an increasing
number of graduate students. He
said there must be mature and
experienced faculty members to
direct research activities which
are continued during the summer
months.
