noon cokes which the Union Crib
and the Selleck Snack Bar have
not been able to replace.
The Campus Inn, as Earl's was
officially named, stood in the mid
dle of a row of buildings on the
northwest corner of 14th and "S"
SLi. On one side was a barber
shop and on the other a drugstore.
Earl's was one long room with
makeshift fixtures including booths
and barstools. A retired popcorn
machine stood Just inside the door.
It was never used and had a "for
sale" sign hanging on it for years.
Two juke boxes added atmos
phere to the establishment even
though only one of them worked.
The decorative theme if it can be
said that there was one, was a
lot of yellow paint with small red
N's painted in the open areas.
Finding a place to sit in Earl's
was harder than finding an empty
booth in the Crib.
The cuisine ranged from cokes
to steaks. You could get a small
glass of milk for a dime, or an
even smaller glass of fruit juice
for breakfast fare.
The great popularity of Dirty
Earl's sprang from its iiearness
to the campus. Since its passing
students have found it necessary
to tramp wearily across the sharp
rocks of parking lots to the Crib
or the Snack Bar and such a
pilgrimage takes all the fun out
of a mid afternoon coke.
When Dirty Earl's was demol
ished to make way for parking
lots, one of the best remembered
campus traditions was destroyed
for all time.
Two "generations" of young
Cornhuskers have come to the
University since Earl's has been
gone. Somehow they have not bad
the full exposure to campus life
that their predecessors had within
the portals of Earl's. They have
never had the desperate feeling of
trying to go to class and finding
the entrance blocked by hoardes
of incoming cokers looking for a
square inch on which to sit.
Underclassmen residing at Sel
leck Quadrangle have never had
the inspiring experience of getting
up an hour early in order to wade
through the snow to Dirty Earl's
and wait in line for breakfast
all before an 8 o'clock.
If you want to see just a little
bit of the old Dirty Earl's atmos
phere, with most of the better
features removed, you can find the
Campus Inn down by the Elgin
Watch factory on 17th St. It still
has the same name, but that is
about all that is left of Dirty
Earl's.

statement was adopted ... one or

superiors in the University (the
Dean of Agriculture and the Chan-

Unwarranted attacks upon my professional rep
utation by officials of the University of Nebraska
require me to set the record straight My removal
from the administrative post I have held for the past
seven years is the latest in a long series of penalties
imposed upon me because of my economic views.
My professional field is agricultural policy, the
politics and economics of American agriculture. I
favor a strong price-support system, plus expanded
federal "welfare" programs, to answer our pressing
agricultural problems. I have called attention to the
many economic fallacies in the Eisenhower-Benson
policy, particularly the ruinous effect of agricultural
price-reductions.
My politico-economic views have long been under
attack in Nebraska. In 1953, this attack erupted in
an intemperate assault on academic freedom, in
which a University Regent participated. The open
assault failed: the Board of Regents adopted a state
ment purporting to guarantee academic freedom.
Most of my colleagues thought that the future was
secure for free enquiry, and that a teacher would not
be penalized for expressing his honest convictions.
Beginning less than a week after the 1953 state
ment was adopted, and continuing without interrup
tion to the present, one or the other of my two admin
istrative superiors in the University (the Dean of
Agriculture and the Chancellor) have abridged my
academic freedom in the following manners:
1. Repeated attempts were made to "tonedown",
modify, and even to censor my publications.
2. I was advised , to curtail my speaking and
writing activities.
3. I was advised to resign my position and move
elsewhere, assured that I would never get a
salary increase at the University, and. that I was
on the Regents "blacklist".
4. I was notified in February, 1955, that because
of continuing controversy over my views, includ
ing strong objection from the legislative groups
responsible for University funds, I was going to
be relieved of my chairmanship, and that, fur
thermore, if such controversy continued, I would
probably be discharged, notwithstanding my aca
demic tenure.
5. I was notified in September, 1955, that the
change would be made while I was out of the
United States on my Fulbright Fellowship, and
that if any "reasons" should be demanded, an
official statement would be made that I had per
formed my professional duties inadequately. (My
colleagues will recognize the significance of such
a threat, particularly with regard to securing
employment in other universities. Ordinarily
such a threat is expected to induce a quiet letter
of resignation).
6. Finally, my annual contract of appointment
to the position of department chairman ends on
June 30, 1956. From 5,000 miles away I cannot
be certain on the legal point, but it appears that
the University has violated a contract in remov
ing me as of May 1, 1956. In view of the fact
that abrogations of freedom have occurred con
stantly, contract violation is perhaps a minor
matter.
University professors have no kgal right to an
administrative post. We do have the right to demand
that our refutation not be damaged wantonly. I
therefore advised Chancellor Hardin on October 17,
1955, and Dean Lambert on September 23, 1955, that
I would consider extremely unfair any attack on my
competence as an economist or an administrator
when they should make their announcement
I have been advised by Professor Julius Cohen
that until and unless my tenure as professor is vio
lated, I have no recourse to the faculty committee
on academic privileges. I am able to answer the
University's attack on my reputation only in this
manner, through a statement addressed to the stu
dents and my colleagues in the University.

House Cuts Bill
By WALT SWITZER
Staff Writer
In action Tuesday the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted
18-11 to cut more than a billion dollars from President Eisenhower's
foreign aid program. Eisenhower bad requested $4-9 billion which is
12 billion over the appropriation for last year.
According to Secretary of State Dulles, the administration in
tends to make a new bid for its long range foreign aid program when
it comes before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Queen Sends Message
In London there is speculation that an exchange of letters between
Queen Elizabeth n and Soviet President Voroshilov might lead to aa
invitation for the Queen to visit Moscow.
The Queen sent a message to Voroshilov in reply to a note she re
ceived when Premier Bulganin and Communist party head Krushchev
visited England last month. The Queen expressed ber best wishes for
his health and that of the Soviet peoples.
Committee Approves Bill
President Eisenhower's civil rights bill which calls for a special
committee to investigate reported violations of voting ruzhU and
civil rights division in the Justice Department was approved by the
House ' Judiciary Committee. The bill, which southern committee
members have called "absolutely shocking", now must get past the
House Rules Committee before it will be sent to the House. .
Even if the bill is passed by the House it is doubtful that it can
be passed in the Senate, where Southern filibusters have stopped all
previous civil rights measures.
