Convocation:
University Problems
Reported By Hardin
In a "State of the University
convocation report, Chancellor
Clifford Hardin told students
Thursday morning that "we are
facing a difficult staff problem."
- Dr. Hardin said he appreciated
the devotion of the staff to the
University. "I know that many of
them have turned down offers to go
elsewhere at higher salaries. I
know that many of them will re
ceive even more attractive fi
nancial offers in the future."
The Chancellor said that the con
cern over the teaching situation
"involves a great deal more than
just employing enough people to
preside over classrooms, labora
tories and lecture halls.
"Our University Is very proud
ff its standards. This University
deals in quality education.
"What success we will have in
the immediate future in obtaining
the financial support necessary to
keep our quality staff intact and
at the same time add to it, re
mains to be seen."
Commenting on the University
traffic and parking problems, the
Chancellor said "I think we have
been especially fortunate so far in
avoiding a serious traffic acci
dent." He stated that expansion of the
physical plant of the University
means the elimination of some of
the available parking places on
campus.
"As most of you know, plans are
now being made for an extensive
addition to the Student Union.
When those plans reach the con
struction stage the parking area
north of the present Union build
ing will go out of service."
He stated that plans for acquir
lg new parking areas on the peri
phery of the campus are being de
veloped. The University, he stated, has ob
tained the land at 17th and Vine
for parking of student and faculty
The Outside World:
Stevenson Levels Charges
Democratic presidential aspirant Adlai Stevenson said the country's
natural resources "have been invaded and turned to selfish private
purposes" under the Eisenhower administration.
In a Pittsburgh television studio Stevenson not only accused the
president of making a "gross misstatement" of the record but blasted
him for saying the Republican party has ended "special favoritism,
cronyism and laxity" in Washington.
Stevenson declared that the facts are written in "the record of the
Dixon-Yates contract" and in the natural resources give-away."
Skipper Testifies
The account of Capt. Piero Calarnai of the Italian Liner Andria
Doria is in direct opposition to that of the officer who was directing
the Stockholm.
The veteran, 59-year-old skipper made the report during prelim
inary Federal Court hearings in a damage suit trial totaling more
than $40 million.
Bowring Appointed To Post
Mrs. Eva Bowring, former U.S. Senator from Nebraska has been
named to the Federal Board of Parole by President Eisenhower.
On the Parole Board she will fill out the unexpired term of
Dorothy McCullough Lee who resigned. The appointment is subject to
Senate confirmation.
Davis Resumes Law Practice
Clarence A. Davis, Under Secretary of the Interior said he will
leave his government post and resume his law practice in Washington
and Lincoln.
Davis was reported as saying that he "simply can't afford to serve
another term in the Department of the Interior." Davis presently
makes $21,000 as under secretary. In his job as solicitor Which he

staff. The Chancellor also men
tioned the parking problem and
the expansion of the p h y s i c a 1
plant of the University. Ending
on a note of optimism, the Chan
cellor declared, "with student
thinking positive, with student
interest bright and with student
spirit high, the University is on
its way."
cars.
The physical plant, Dr. Hardin
noted, is up to a point at which it
should have been in about 1949.
"In 1947 the Nebraska Legisla
ture enacted a 10-year building
program for state institutions. The
University has been receiving
about $1.3 million a year for con
struction purposes," the Chancellor
said.
"The University is asking for a
continuation of the program so that
we can proceed with plans for a
Music Building, a new building for
the Physics Department, a Library
at the College of Agriculture and
new classroom facilities."
Dr. Hardin said that the force
which concerns the University the
most at the present time is growth.
Growth means more classes and a
larger staff, he said.

of the University student body.
The Pogo poll, which involved
approximately 2500 University stu

Eisenhower and 699 votes for the
Democratic aspirant, Adlai Ste

The Pogo questionnaire was de
signed to reveal how much en

The suspension, Colbert said,
was a result of association with
the secret fraternity which the
University does not recognize or
in any way condone. He said that
the vandalism involved in the in
cident was only a contributory fac
tor in the suspension.
"Any student found to be a mem
ber of this group," Colbert said,
"places himself in serious jeopardy
with the University."
Several groups of men were
spotted in action about 2:30 a.m.,
Thursday, according to Sgt. John
Furrow of the campus police.
A couple groups were chased on
foot by campus police but none
were caught. Lewis and Speer
were seen at 3 a.m. and were
apprehended in an automobile by
campus police in a cruiser car.
Nineteen sorority and fraternity
doormats, porch floors and side
walks were painted Tuesday morn

The Pi Xi's have been active
for the past three or four years,
according to Furrow, but Tues

Pogo officials have concluded
that the support given to Ike and
Adlai on the first question is in
dicative of close party affiliation.
The second question stated, "If

(Candidates' listed were Ike and

liked Ike and 575 preferred Ad

campus voting sympathy reveals
1776 for Ike, either on the first or
second questions, and a 699 vote

show 71.8 per cent of the polled

Game Rated Toss-up:
Hits
Over 500 strong, students from
Iowa State College will descend
upon the University Campus Sat

will be "Cy" the Cardinal, an eight
foot, mascot and pep band. The
band will join a parade of cars
from Cyclone-land and breeze
through the campus sometime Sat
urday morning or early afternoon.
Almost 40 cars should be included
in the string of vehicles.
