The demotion of C Clyde Mitch
- all and the resulting controversy
. concerning- "academic freedom
and administrative percgative
was rated as the top news story
of the semester by Nebraskan staff
members Tuesday.
Selection of the stories was made
according to relative news cover
age given to each and over-all
significance of the event, Bruce
Brugmann, editor, said.
Mitchell's demotion from his
post was first announced in the
pril IS issue of The Nebraskan.
He was chairman of the depart
ment of agricultural economics.
Mitchell was reported demoted
because of what sources within the
4 ec depatment referred to as
"outside pressures."
A controversy concerning the
matter of academic freedom and
administrative perogative followed
the announcement of Mitchell's re
moval as department chairman.
Rated as the semester's second
top news story was the denial of
Student Council authority over in
ternal affairs of student organiza
tions by the Faculty Senate com
mittee on student affairs.
Early in the semester, the Stu
dent Council Judiciary committee
ruled that the Interfraternity
Council, Panhellenic and Union
must conform to the Council rul
ing requiring a 5.7 average for
executive officers. !
Upon protest from the organiza
t i o n s concerned, the Council re
ferred the matter to the faculty
committee for a definition of the
lines of Council authority over stu
dent organizations.
3FC, Panhell and Union had
protested on the grounds that they
were of a peculiar nature and re
' ceived authority, in the case of
TFC and Panhell, directly from
the Board of Regents.
The faculty ruling, in effect, ne
gated the Council 5.7 ruling.
. The University's First Spring
Day was the third rated story.
Spring Day, which was held the
day before Ivy Day, included com
petitive events sponsored by the
N Club, a carnival and street
dance sponsored by the Union and
as aH-campus barbecue sponsored
by the kg Exec Gub.
Plans for the event next year
en being considered, according to
Don Beck, who served as chairman
of the committee this year.

Today's leadership ... a
reflection of policies established
in aviation's infancy
Bade in The Roaring Twenties, the magic dream pictured Ameri
can families someday using the light personal airplane as freely as
the family car. Among the realists, however, was a handful of men
who were unshakable in their conviction that At real future of
aviation lay with bigger aircraft, higher speeds, greater ranges
all possible only through engines of bighcr power and more relia-,
bility than those of that era. . - .
In the spring of 1925, six of these men of vision founded a
company in Hartford to undertake dj& development of a new air
craft engine an air-coolcd type. The year's end heralded their
first success Pratt & Chitney Aircraft's "Wasp".
This talented group of men continued to Improve their power
plant designs, developing engines of steadily mounting power that,
operated efficiently and dependably. They, contributed much to
aviation's progress so much so that currently three-quarters of
the world's commercial airliners and many of our nation's first line
military aircraft are P & W A -powered.
Today's P & W A powerplant designs are supported by the
very finest research facilities and equipment, and a technical staff
that is continually being strengthened. That nucleus of six men has
grown into one of the world's leading engineering organizations.
Yet to this very day, engineering achievement at Pratt & Whitney
Aircraft is guided by ia founders' simple policy . . . the best air
, planes can be designed only around the best engines.
