- The authorities said the vessels,
five or six in number, left their
base at Alexandria Monday morn
ing and, so far as it is possible
to determine, are moving toward
Israel.
In what officials label the biggest
Arab-Israeli war threat since 1948,
Israel has mobilized its reserves
and the United States has begun th
evacuation of some of its citizens
from four Middle East states.
President Eisenhower has sent
two messages to Israel Premier
David Ben-Gurion, cautioning him
to avoid acts "which would en
danger the peace." According to re
ports from Washington, Israel had
mobilized from 150,000 to. 200,000
men along her frontiers.
Jordan, who has a defense al
liance with Britain, may become
involved in the present action.
Britain recently sent a few more
new Hawker Hunter jet planes to
her base in Jordan.
Jordan also has separate treaties
with Iraq and with Syria and Egypt
but has made it plain recently
"that she places her chief reliance
in the latter pact.
Since the dismissal of Glubb last
March by King Hussein, Jordan's
relations with the west have fallen
off considerably.
Traffic and business in the Israeli
side of Jerusalem have been hamp
ered considerably by the move
ment of troops and materials.
The state department has noti
fied some 8000 Americans in Egypt,
Israel, Jordan, and Syria to leave
for points of safety.
Over 1700 missionaries, teachers,
newsmen, and businessmen are
located in Egypt.

Rev. Peter Raible Delivers Open
Letter Opinion Of Administration
By DICK SHUGRUE
Copy Editor
Charges that the University fac
ulty is "discouraged, sick at heart
and fearful" were made by the
Rev. Peter Raible, pastor of the
Lincoln Unitarian Church in an
open letter to Chancellor Clifford
Hardin delivered Sunday morning.
The Rev. Mr. Raible said that
during recent months he had spok
en with many professors in many
departments and that they gener
ally reflected these views.
The Lincoln minister stated that
there are always those who would
constrict the free search after
truth. He said, "They say you
may go so far and no further."
Raible added that such people
would besmirch a whole univer
sity if it does not give way to
their desires.
"But what cannot be accom
plished through public attack can
often be achieved through the back

door through Insidious infiltration
of a type similar to Communist
subversion. It is precisely the dan
ger the university now faces," he
stated.
"Through a scrupulous regard
for honesty, through your public
statements, through your private
acts, you can easily chase the
goblin of fear from the campus."
Raible was directing the advice
to Dr. Hardin.
The chancellor was called the
"most important man in the state"
in the sermon. The Rev. Mr. Rai
ble said that since the policies
followed by the University will no
doubt be the "single, most influ
ential factor in the future of the
State of Nebraska" the place the
chancellor plays is foremost.
Commenting on the State of the
University address made by Chan
cellor Hardin Oct. 4, Raible noted
that the chief problem of the school
today is not the parking situation
or the building program but the
maintenance of the highest of qual
ities of faculties.
He quoted Hardin as saying, "I
have said that I consider the
maintenance of a quality teaching
staff the biggest and toughest
problem which the University fac
es." Raible then stated, "Like many
citizens I am saddened by the
blithe way we talk about super
highways at a million dollars a
mile; but look on such a figure
for faculty salary increases as an
outrageous sum.
Ultimately, though, salary is
not the most important factor in
attracting fine teachers. . .The
single most important thing for
any faculty is a very simple thing
the atmosphere a university pro
vides. This atmosphere of a uni
versity involves the morale, the
significance, and the freedom
which each instructor and profes
sor feels here."
Raible concluded that the pro
fessor is so precious that we should
allow no orthodozy, no pressure,
no temporary goal to silence or de
base him in the free quest of
truth. As a precious person, obed
dient to the dictates of his own
conscience, he must follow the
conclusions blazed by bis own
stt'dy, he added.
He ended his Sunday sermon
stating that the faculty only wish
es to do that to which they have
committed their lives to seek and
teach the truth, wherever they
may find it, according to their
highest inspirations and with their
greatest ability, answering only to

problem will not come by bicker
ing back and forth. "The citizens
of the state should take more in
terest in the University; the Board
of Regents elections; and the ad
ministration of the school."
He noted that students, because
they "are here today and gone
too soon" cannot get a sustained
interest in the problem.
"They can be a chief influence
through their parents who must in
turn stand foursquare for free
dom. Students, in the long run,
can see . that a similar lethargy
on the part of the faculty never
reoccurs in the future."
The minister said that he had
been at the University of Califor
nia when the loyalty oath was
introduced on that campus. "That
institution is still feeling the re
purcussions of that oath. A poorer
quality instructor will result at any
school where the freedom to think
as one chooses is squelched."
