THE NEBRASKAN
Fridoy, October 12, 1956
Nebraska n Editorials:

If the problem of having to oftsr remedial
English course! to freshmen at the University
were only an economical one, Dean of the Col
lege of Arte and Science! Walter Mllitzer would
still get our congratulations and support In his
stand.
Dean Militizer told the Nebraska Council for
Better Education that it was not economical
to conduct the remedial English courses because
the records shows that only one of every six
freshmen students who take these course will
graduate.
He said that the University shouldn't have in
Its freshman and sophomore classes students
who "are there for the ride or for social rea
sons" and whose presence is "clogging the
works."
University students should be snobs to a cer
tain extent and to an even greater extent they
should be proud that they are.
The Dean's stand that not everyone is quali
fied to study the curriculum the University has
set up is the same stand that hundreds of Ne
braskans have backed up for years. Students
and former students congratulate the Dean for
saying what they feel is one of the major prob
lems with the University.
Whether the entrance standards of the Uni
ersity can ever be raised to exclude eocial
pushers and unprepared students, we are not
sure. But we are sure that there would be a
greater number of comprint from those who
desire nothing more than a degree from the Uni
versity. Those students who come to the University for
an education, for the opportunity to "beat their
brains out" on some especially difficult assign
ment, for learning how to live according to a
conscientious pattern of life will demand new
standards for their University. The degree
means nothing if nothing more than a machine
has earned it.
Perhaps the basic problem is with the high
school system in the state. We decry the fact
that some young men and women in the state
are deceived into thinking they are capable of
doing advanced scholastic work. Counselors
should not Just tell them new ways to study
snd give lectures on hard work; they should
show the wsy to the gate and let those students
with no affinity for study out.
An increase in the neoessity for a college ed
ucation in business and the professions means
nothing except that many business executives
want their employes to have two or three letters
following their names. We trust that those re
sponsible for raising the standards of the Uni
versity entrance requirements will take into
consideration the ideas Militser presented.
The Nebrsskan hopes that once again the de
grees, the courses, the standards offered by the
University will be those of which the conscien
tious few can be proud.
Uher Quality
By virtue of an official confirmation from the
Faculty Committee on Student Affairs Kosmet
Klub was granted permission to hold its annual
Fall Review. A tradition of the campus will be
preserved and improved by the Faculty Com
mittee's action.
The committee submitted to Kosmet Hub a
list of stipulations regarding the annual event
which will be held in December.
The most significant clause in this list of stip
ulations is the one regarding 'the calibre of the
Revue itself.
"Kosmet Klub will take full responsibility for
the production of an acceptable and unobjection
able Fall Revue, emphasizing talent in writing
and production, and denouncing slapstick com-
In years past very few of the skits presented
to Revue audiences have been above the so
called "slapstick" level. During the roaring
twenties and the parched thirties the vaude
ville type show was conventional and acceptable.
Since World War II, however, things in the
entertainment world changed.
Now, however, Kosmet Klub has been given
official orders, bordering on the ultimatum
stage, which state very clearly that the slap
stick of an age gone by, is definitely unaccept
able in future skits.
Just emphasis is now being put on talent,
writing ability, and production. Organizations
will now have to pay particular attention to the
more serious aspects of acting instead of mere
ly constructing a quasi-vaudeville type produc
tion. Another excellent change in Kosmet Klub'a
1956 program is the time selected for staging
the Fall Revue. By holding the show in Decem
ber instead of earlier as in past years the Klub
has given organizations essential time to practice
and revise their skits to a more perfected state.
Other colleges such as Illinois provide almost
professional entertainment in all men revues
such as Kosmet Klub.
An innovation has also taken place in regard
to curtain acts. This year Kosmet Klub will
recognize individual talent as well as group ef
fort and will award more substantial awards.
In reality the temporary ban placed on the
Kosmet Klub subsequent to its presentation last
fall might constitute a blessing in disguise. The
calibre of the Fall Revue should improve vastly
in any event.

After thoughts
Matter Of Diet
The well-informed have been saying that
there has been a decided change in Gov. Steven
son's speech-making since the 1952 campaign.
One political science Instructor observed that
while his 1952 speeches made darned good litera
ture, his 1956 speeches will get more votes.
You can't live on an egg diet all the time.
Vantage Point
How many fault-finding sports Jans would be
as quick to criticize an athletic's mistakes if
they were down on the playing field themselves?
Still, some say it is easier to call strikes and
balls from a television set 2000 miles away than
from behind the catcher.

This strange story came out of
Lafayette, Indiana, which boasts
of Purdue University.
The housekeeper of a sorority
oDened uo the house for the new
semester and was greeted by a J
1200 pound steer. Police said the I
steer was stolen from the uni

At their lsst regular meeting,
the Faculty Senate elected two
new members to the Committee on
Academic Privilege and Tenure.
As soon as the new members sre
announced, according to informa
tion from the committee, the
Mitchell case will be heard.
There has been a great deal of
talk, unofficial word from the com
mittee reveals, about whitewash
ing the case or stalling the hear
ing. However, this report con-
Bruce Brugmann
tinued in no uncertain words, the
committee fully intends to hear
the case, and will do so as soon as
possible.
This piece of news is particular
ly encouraging, for it means that
Mitchell's six charges of admin
istrative coercion and partiality
are virtually certain to be placed
before a responsible faculty group.
It will be interesting to see, if
Mitchell's charges are proved to"
the committee's satisfaction, what
Adminny Hall will feel obliged to
do to retain its reputation, as
Chancellor Hardin put it at the
Student Convocations, as an "in
stitution of integrity."
And it will be equally interesting
to see what kind of confidence the
faculty will have, and what kind
of security they will feel, in the
committee report eventually
brought in by their own col
leagues. Now that two Pi Xi's have
been suspended from school, it is
most interesting to speculate what
sort of blood brotherhood keeps
the group together.
According to reports by the
campus police, nearly a score of
students, leering unpleasantly,
were jostling through the under
brush the night that their two as
sociates were apprehended.
It must be disconcerting for
those who got away many of
whom occupy positions in Inno
cents, Student Council, IFC and
other prominent campus activities
to realize that two of their broth
ers took the rap (including unfa
vorable publicity, official suspen
sion and a blot on their University
record) for the entire organiza
tion. But then, alcohol has never re-

placed blood.
It has been also curious to
note this year, when the evidence
was embarrassingly clear, that no
apparent effort was made to iden
tify the remaining members of the
organization even though the Uni
versity could demand that infor
mation before it readmitted the
two students they expelled.
Last spring, under similar cir
cumstances, a student who had no
connection with the group was
threatened with expulsion and cor
respondingly, The Nebraskan, who
first printed a picture of the Pi
Xi pin, was faced with administra
tive action if information about the
organization was not disclosed.
But then, tea has never replaced
blood.
