Associate Chairman, Pogo

The local campus political bosses
gathered m the Union yesterday
for the first Pogo Rally of the cur

However, there was no smoke-
filled room and the prevailing at
mosphere showed no sign of ex

On the contrary, everybody was
smiling and briming over with con

Financial
Increase
is not exempt from the crisis
which is gathering about higher
education in America.
"They have a right to know
that standards here, as elsewhere,
could deteriorate for want of funds.
They have a right to know that
in education, as in other endeavors,
there is a point of saturation . . .
a point at which more students
cannot be properly served, more
research cannot be properly under
taken, and more services properly
added without an upward adjust
ment in revenue."
Hardin said: "The fact that our
needs are increasing at a time
when there is general concern
within the ranks of agriculture
contributes to the difficulty."
He added that he expected the
question of University financial
support to be "determined in an
intelligent and logical manner."
Chancellor Hardin placed "the
growing problem of faculty
salaries" at the head of the list of
problems facing the University
"and it is a concern which is not
peculiar to our institution."
Earlier, Chancellor Hardin pre
sented certificates of appreciation
for 25 years of service to the fol
lowing faculty members:
M. A. Alexander, professor of
animal husbandry; Ida Blore, as
sistant in animal pathology;
Blanche Farrar, assistant librari
an; V. H. Petersen, assistant ex
tension agriculturist.
James Reinhardt, professor of
criminology; H. S. Saenz, profes
sor of modern languages and
literatures; and Ruby Wilder,
documents librarian.

lick Off Campaign
their beloved little candidate, Pogo,
was the overwhelming choice of
the University campus.
Perhaps the only thing which
worried these Pogo Chairmen, who
had come to represent their re
spective fraternities and sororities,
was which organization would ob
tain the most Possum points and
receive the coveted prizes.
Unofficial returns yesterday,
with some 386 questionnaires
turned in, shows Phi Beta Phi sor
ority out in front in the women's
division with 102 Possum Points.
Alpha Omicron Pis in second
place with 69 Possum Points.
Beta Theta Pi is leading the
men's division with 60 points, while
Sigma Chi is close behind with 42.
Many of the organizations had
not turned their completed ques
tionnaires into the Lancaster Pogo
headquarters when these tallies
were made, however. Campaign of
ficials expect the race for Possum
Points to be extremely close in
both divisions.
According to the latest question
naire returns the Pogo people were
justified in their outright show of
complacency Only a few students
who have been polled thus far have
indicated another first-choice can
didate in place of Pogo.
The first 1000 "I Go Pogo" but
tons have already been distributed
to many enthusiastic campus or
ganizations. The supply of 'ques
tionnaires, which once numbered
close to 1350, is exhausted.
However, more buttons are on
their way from the national Pogo

Hill, chairman of the deDartment

Hill is due to leave the commit

The Faculty Senate is expected

Hill said it was doubtful and
rather unlikely that any further

Mitchell became the center of a
lengthy controversy over academic
freedom when he was "demoted"
as chairman of the ag ec depart

Discussion:
Rag Lunch
Scheduled
For Friday
All organization presidents, fra
ternity and sorority presidents, and
members of Innocents and Mortar
Board are invited to join the Ne
braskan staff tor luncheon-discussions
on Friday noon, according to
Sam Jensen, Nebraskan editor.
The purpose of the luncheons is
to give interested campus leaders
an opportunity to discuss current
issues and problems with the staff,
he said.
Faculty advisors to organiza
tions, administration personnel and
other faculty members are also
invited.
The luncheon will be held in
Parlor X of the Union. The price
for the meal is $1.
Those who are interested in at
tending must make a reservation
with Lucigrace Switzer, news ed
itor, at the Nebraskan office by
Thursday at 3 p.m.
The luncheons were originally
begun last year as a Rag Press
Club for the staff to get together
and talk out problems. Gradually
it has been expanded to include
campus leaders and others who
feel they have something to dis
cuss with the campus press.
A luncheon of this type will be
held every Friday noon for the
rest of the semester.
The Outside World:
stes Requests Briefings
Sen. Estes Kefauver's request that periodic secret briefings on the
world situation be given him as they are now being given to Demo
cratic presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson, has been granted by
President Eisenhower.
Kefauver stated that since all three candidates for the nation's top
offices receive information on the world situation from the Central
Intelligence Agency, he was at a disadvantage in the campaign.
Wheat 'Very Poor'
Nebraska's winter wheat outlook is "very poor" according to gov
ernment crop observers.
High temperatures, lack of moisture and whipping winds last week
are to blame. Com suffered some damage in parts of the atate
earlier this month because of sharp declines in temperatures and
freezing weather.
Hurricane Diminishes
Hurricane Flossy, after taking its toll of nine lives, has finally
lost most of its awesome force."
The hurricane, at its peak, packed winds up to 100 miles an hour
into the Florida Mainland.

Twenty-three Nebraska counties have been declared drought dis
aster areas, according to the state drought committee.

He charged that the Dean of the
College of Agriculture, V. W. Lam
bert and the Chancellor had abridg
ed his freedom in the following
ways: "attempts were made to
tone down, modify, and even to
censor my publications ... I was
advised to curtail my speaking
and writing activities ... I was
advised to resign ... I was on the
Regents' blacklist ... I was noti
fied that if anv reasons should ho
demanded (for the demotion) an
official statement would be made
that I had performed bv Drofes-
sional duties inadequately . .
After being advised by Cohen
that his charges would warrant
investigation by the faculty com
mittee, Mitchell, who was still in
Rome, asked that the case be pre
sented to the committee.
